Today's show will not be the recently-purchased-vinyl-lying-around-my-living-room special announced last time. Instead, starting around an hour into the show, it will be a tribute to the recently deceased French guitar (slide/dobro/steel/hawaiian) and ukulele player Cyril Lefebvre. At the end of the show, I'll be previewing a brand new show/series of mine that will be kicking off next week. I'm calling it "Tape Hiss" and it'll feature unreleased concert recordings and demos from -- mostly -- the '70s and '80s. This new show will alternate with my "regular" show and will also air on Tuesdays, starting at noon. |

Hey there, Kay! You are foist! Or actually I was, but I was busy writing the long-winded message above. |

Kay:
Looking forward to today's tribute and new series. (No boo, hiss.) | |

On now: a contemporary song-poem release. Yes, the song-poem mills still exist! |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:04pm
Ricardo Montalban:
Weekly, eh? So, you're going to be neither odd nor even, then? | |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:04pm
Michael:
Hello Tony and fellow muso's. Song poem mills do still exist - I work with someone who's done some singing on a few here in the Boston area. | |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:05pm
tonyc:
Heya, Ricardo and Michael! Ricardo: I'll be odd and uneven.... |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:06pm
tonyc:
Michael: Interesting! Has your friend retained his sanity? |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:06pm
Anchovy Paste:
I hear that song-poems from the mills come home malnourished and with parasites. | |

Anchovy Paste from the U.K.: Ha! |

Ricardo Montalban:
Wow! This is great! Rascal Reporters. Never heard of 'em before. | |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:27pm
BSI:
This is brilliant as heck. HECK, you understand? HECK! | |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:31pm
Heckardo Flauntalban:
Oh, Tony! Now you have us all in suspense... | |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:32pm
conrad:
Ricardo - check out the Rascal Reporters "Freaks Obscure" album. Think I dl-ed it from Mutant Sounds or someplace like that. Craziest thing I ever heard. | |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:33pm
tonyc:
Glad you liked the Rascal Reporters track, Ricardo and BSI! They're a great, great band, imo. They've been around for 35+ years, but are still sadly way underappreciated. |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:33pm
Heckardo Flauntalban:
Mutant Sounds is scary. They make me feel like I have the world's most pedestrian musical taste by comparison | |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:33pm

And here they are again.... |

Howdy Tony and all you fine peoples | |
|

Tue. 4/17/12 12:40pm
tonyc:
Sorry for the tape hiss -- this is a second-generation tape. Maze 1066 are currently working on a new release that will feature all their '80s compilation tracks, including this one. |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:40pm
tonyc:
Howdy, Van in D.C.! |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:43pm
tonyc:
And howdy Conrad too! |
|

Doug S.:
Tape hiss on your show, Tony, is a matter of honor. So I think we ought to begin calling you: Hiss Honor! | |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:49pm
tonyc:
Hiss-sterical, Doug! |
|

BSI:
He has a nose for surface noise. Or is that a surface nose? what? | |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:53pm
tonyc:
You callin' me a needle nose? |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:55pm
BSI:
needle noise? egad, I need lunch. | |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 12:57pm
Michael:
Careful: with all the talk of surface noise we might wake a certain old codger... | |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 1:02pm
tonyc:
The Codger puts on skipping records to fall asleep to, so we're safe.... |
|

listener james from westwood:
first hour took the edge off a deeply frustrating day (gmail down = work hassles). might need to look into getting the offline app for gmail once it decides to cooperate again.... | |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 1:04pm
tonyc:
Glad to be of service.... |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 1:11pm
Montardo Ricartalban:
@Listener James... I too am caught in the great Gmail outtage of 2012. Code:93 - whatever that means. | |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 1:21pm
tonyc:
As I guess I said already, all tracks in this Cyril Lefebvre tribute portion of the show not credited to him feature him as a player. In some cases, just to confuse you, there is a second guitarist as well. |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 1:25pm
conrad:
Tony, whenever you say Mr. Lefebvre's first name, I think you're saying "surreal." Appropriate, I guess. | |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 1:28pm
Montardo Ricartalban:
I have that Mike Cooper 10". Someone once left a small stack of Chabada 10"s in my mailbox at KBOO. Lots of Steve Beresford records. | |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 1:29pm
Montardo Ricartalban:
I keep thinking the same thing, Conrad. | |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 1:29pm
Doug S.:
PROGRAM ALERT....PROGRAM ALERT... Coming up later on the Drummer stream, I will be broadcasting a Han Bennink 70th Birthday Broadcast. (Dear Cyril's pal Mike Cooper turns 70 this year, too!) That'll be tonight, 6-7pm (ET) The Han Bennink Birthday Boomshplatt!! here on Give the Drummer Radio | |

Conrad and Montardo: Guess my pronunciation of his name is a surreal compromise between completely French and not French at all. |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 1:32pm
Snortley:
Lefebvre et al on YouTube: Check out the uke dobro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OYGm5-Hx5Ig | |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 1:35pm
tonyc:
Thanks, Snortley! Unfortunately, I don't have any of his more recent recordings featuring the ukelele, which he started to really focus on in (I think) the '90s. |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 1:37pm
listener james from westwood:
@Montardo: If you give it a try, Gmail might be back up now. Corporate America groans, goes back inside to work. | |

The new bi-weekly show "Tape Hiss" kicks off next Tuesday, with -- as I said -- Happy the Man. There will be different music every show -- but there will always be Tape Hiss. |

tonyc:
The studio version of this track is on the Muffins' first LP "Manna/Mirage," from 1978. |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 2:45pm
Doug S.:
You sure I can't coax you into doing a daily show, Tony? I'll triple your salary. | |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 2:46pm
tonyc:
Three million dollars a year? That's generous of you, Doug! |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 2:48pm
BSI:
As perfect as Manna/Mirage is, this live version is every bit as good. >>185<< and Open City are longtime favorites. | |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 2:48pm
Brass Knuckles:
Tony shows every week? Tape hiss. I would like to hear the cassette tones too. | |
|
Tue. 4/17/12 2:50pm
northguineahills:
I must say, I've never heard the muffins before. I like. | |
|
|
Tue. 4/17/12 2:51pm

Some pieces from this concert are on the "Open City" CD RE -- but not this track. |
