Hi,
I was listening on the smartphone in the car in traffic during the 8th of January set, but did not get to a computer until now.

Things about the war of 1812:
The war was already officially over before the Battle of New Orleans (and battle of Pensacola) were fought, but word had not made it to all troops and ships involved.

Neither side declared victory for the war. It was settled diplomatically, and considered a stalemate.

It was the last war in which the British and US fought on opposite sides.

The US and Great Britain have been at peace with each other for over 200 years.

By the end of the 19th century the US and Great Britain were collaborating on connecting to each other with transatlantic cables.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:16am Doug Schulkind:

From Wikipedia:

Najat AĆ¢tabou was born into a lower-class family, with five brothers and four sisters. She dreamed of becoming a lawyer, but her life would take a different direction. Singing was her favorite thing to do and she would walk to school every morning singing songs. When she reached the age of thirteen, she would sneak out of her bedroom window and sing at local weddings and school parties for money. At one of these parties, a guest recorded her voice with a tape recorder. The tape was sold illegally throughout Morocco and the song "J'en ai marre" ("I've had enough of it") became especially popular. Her family soon found out about her singing and did not accept her choice of vocation. HER BROTHERS THREATENED TO KILL HER IF SHE CONTINUED. She was afraid and decided to run away from home. She fled to the local music shop, that being her first choice because "they played music there", as she later said. That very day a coincidence happened. A famous Moroccan music producer Mustapha El Mils walked into the shop, looking for Najat AĆ¢tabou after he had heard the song "J'en ai marre". He asked for her trust and to join him in Casablanca. Having no choice, she left for Casablanca, where she would stay for three years, living with the mother of the music producer. After these three years, her family found her and they made up.

I thought you were playing "Summertime" when the track first came on.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:19am listener james from westwood:

This is the sort of song-comparison scrutiny I can get behind.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:20am Lane Gray:

I think there was a minor third between them
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:21am Doug Schulkind:

@Lane Gray
What sound do you get when you pitch a piano down a shaft?

A Flat Minor

@Lane apologies if I sent you this before. Pedal steel but not as we know it.

Just googled, Abdullah Ibrahim/Dollar Brand's band, have to track it down.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:31am Doug Schulkind:

I have a theory about "scullery," Brian in UK. Will share during next mic break.

Cream of the crop of South African jazzers in this group, starting with the all-time-brilliant Kippie Moeketsi on alto sax.

Not easy to track down, not available on Discogs, One used on Amazon for $40...hmmm, may be worth it.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:34am Brian in UK:

I think that Clifford T Ward wrote a song called Scullery.

Ahaha! what a great gif!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:39am Lane Gray:

Brian, I just listened to a bit of it. Pretty cool.
And one of the few good uses of pick noise (the other that comes to mind is Buddy Cage's fuzztone stuff with NRPS)

And hi, Doug. AMANDLA!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:43am Brian in UK:

Lane, not sure about BJ. Funny I mentioned Cochise last night on Bill Mac's show. BJ Cole played steel with them many years ago.
  11:43am Guy:

Doug, you make my day.
Dollar Brand, Cape Town Fringe...beautiful!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:43am Brian in UK:

Sorry, Dean.
  11:45am Dean:

No apology req'd, Brian. I understood. I know Cole has a huge resume. Just wondered how a real pedal steel connoisseur thought about him.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, of course you are right, Shaun. The armed wing of the ANC. I misspoke. A lot of misspeaking on today's show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Sorry I talked over it, Guy!
