hooray for the good doctor!

Ok,I'm in for the duration. Sun, rah rah rah.

Iron Butterfly Theme!!!
- Hurray Irwin!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:11pm G:

In a gadda da pretty obscure track definitely worth exhuming. Check.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:12pm Caryn:

This reminds me, need to rewatch "Manhunter".
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:13pm tikbartok:

My favorite song at age 13
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:23pm Rick from SC:

More hippy music please
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Iron Butterfly were an L.A. band, mahhn
...like, totally plastic...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:25pm Caryn:

There's a bit of hippie music on WFMU. But not a lot of hippie-dippie music.
  3:28pm Alison Porchnik:

As long as there's no hippie dancing.
Avatar ♥ 3:33pm Michael:

aka twirling Alison. We shall have none of that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...a slippery slope; next thing you know - hackeysack & cheap patchouli...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:34pm Caryn:

Unless you're Wonder Woman changing outfits, never twirl.
  3:35pm common:

never heard the rotary connection. nice harmonies.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:39pm rsj:

minty fresh?
  3:42pm lindsay:

Sandals and Lovebeads.
I was there in 68.
We thought we could change the world with music.Mackin on your groove Irwin.
Avatar 3:43pm Droll:

The WFMU parking lot scene will be familiar to any hippie: grilled cheese sandwiches for sale, guys wearing tie-dyed skirts, big balloons that do not float, and everyone is yelling "NARC!" at some square with short hair.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:43pm Caryn:

Heh, misread the Simone track as "Chicken Go Where I Send You". Which actually made me more excited about the song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:44pm G:

and a partridge in a pear tree!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:46pm G:

speaking of para-hippe music, this was a total hoot on a Yes discussion list yesterday:

Hi everyone!

After a brief mention of it with [name redacted; not me] - he encouraged me to go public with this observation :

Sometimes it happened to me that Yes music was even better (or more important) than sex :) !!!

If I tried to have sex with any of my ex girlfriends who liked Yes (my current doesn't) I found out that I could't concentrate enough on sex if Yes music was on. It absolutely dominated my mind...) so... I don't try this anymore :)

Do anyone of you have any similar experience, or is it that I am just weird ? ;)

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Sun Ra born same Day of Year as Wagner! As interesting to Compare as they are obvious to Contrast...
Avatar 3:48pm Droll:

So that's what happened to prog rock? All the fans failed to reproduce and the music died out?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:49pm G:

that's a theory worth entertaining (in every sense of entertaining)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...every sense - except the Freudian?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:55pm G:

@RR: The Ra of the Solar Vehicle Arkestrans of the Future? maybe that's still in the vaults somewhere
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...'Yes Means No'...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:58pm G:

@G 3:35: running time, 6:47: 13
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:00pm Caryn:

@RRN63: I suppose you could argue that Sun Ra made his life and music into a giant Gesamtkunstwerk.
Avatar 4:06pm Droll:

The Good Doctor's basso profundo always seems out of place on WFMU. He's just not amateur sounding enough.

I'm already well on my way to loving the Sun Ra sets. Great opening number.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:10pm G:

Vacuuming? Dont gazump Irwin's chore for godssakes!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:11pm Caryn:

@G: maybe they figured Irwin wouldn't be vacuuming today, what with the tribute and everything. Someone has to do it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:12pm G:

That sucks, Caryn.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:12pm G:

:)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Sun Ra's saxophonist John Gilmore was an influence on Coltrane. Sun Ra was a bigbandleader - @ the same time he was 'Outside' ahead of the curve - @ the same time he was 'Cosmic' - what - ten years? - ahead of PsychedelicRock??...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...'*paper*tape'...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- may have heard about papertape on Michael Feistein's American Songbook program on PBS - which opens a glimpse into the music preservationist world for those of us to whom it is totally unfamiliar...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

*1948*
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- now - this is interesting - because I often say Flamingo's 'Only Have Eyes for You' prefigures Psychedelia in its' arrangement & production - if that relates...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:30pm tim from champaign:

I have a question for the Good Doctor. Have you ever gone to Chicago to retrace the steps of Sun Ra? If so, what surprises turned up?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:35pm Alison Porchnik:

Love this stuff. So great for a spring day, which otherwise I can enjoy only through the glass of my office window.

BTW, does The Good Doctor have any interesting stories about the making of Space is the Place?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

'Ooh, Rockin' Daddy' - how long before Alan Freed 'coined' 'Rock'n'Roll' - ?
  4:50pm Listening Out There:

I just tuned in. Good to hear this. My favorite description of Sun Ra's music is that it's big band swing (Paul Whiteman, etc.) that went to free jazz, without going through bop. Don't recall who had that observation...
Avatar 4:57pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ:

Batman!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Listening Out There: hmm!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- I've always thot it interesting how many of the Outside/Free Players had deep roots in R&B & Gospel (?)...
Avatar 5:08pm Droll:

The discussion tops the music, which is both grooving and mind expanding.
I'm writing down all the pop tunes he arranged, which could be a great show of it's own. Of course Batman already was a show of it's own. (Yes, I was singing along)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Who used electric piano before SunRa? Ray Charles?
  5:10pm Listening Out There:

was that a short tympani solo in "Reflections"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:14pm Caryn:

@RRN63: since there have been electronic keyboards since at least 1753, I imagine quite a few people. But not as extensively and inventively as Sun Ra. He certainly was a forerunner in many ways.
  5:17pm trish:

Briefly stopping by to pass along a, 'wow! great listening - the music, the interview.' Yep. Thanks for this broadcast.
  5:17pm bc sterrett:

Fantastic show :)
  5:22pm Listening Out There:

RRN - Jazz.com has an answer to your question. Interesting: Sun Ra was the first musician to record with an electric piano, the Wurlitzer, for his 1956 recording Angels and Demons at Play.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Cheers, LOT!
  5:31pm Listening Out There:

Costumes...Irwin, you should ask whether Michael was at the performance for Night Music, a short lived NBC series, hosted by David Sanborn...
  5:33pm Listening Out There:

the Night Music segment was amazing...the ensemble marched around the auditorium. don't think that would happen on the Tonight Show...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:43pm Matt from Springfield:

Glad The Good Doctor is working to preserve Sun Ra! Also glad this tribute is still on, in time for me to catch some of it live!
Avatar 5:44pm john:

Ohhh...I remember that Night Music performance well. Great stuff.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:54pm Matt from Springfield:

Very Asian sound to this piece--a feel that's both international and extranational (out of this world).
Avatar 5:57pm Droll:

Michael & Irwin - thanks for the great special. Especially impressive effort for a couple of drummers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:58pm northguineahills:

This was awesome!!!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:59pm Matt from Springfield:

This is a 'chive to hit, for sure! Thanks Irwin and Good Doctor Michael--and a LEE MORGAN special with you all too?!? SWEET! :)
  12:11am The big o:

Ra and the moonglows, enuf said. The only missing pieces are trane and Ayler. Get it on.
