	♥ 9:08am Doug Schulkind: Greetings, listener Rey! Gina Bacon! Momma Maggie B! KWilde!
	♥ 9:08am TDK60: Good morning, Doug! Stuck Inside of Pittsburgh with the Brooklyn Blues Again? (sorry.)
	9:09am Listener Gregory: Side by Side by the Stream? Good morning, all.
	🥁 ♥ 9:10am βrian: Gargling With Bourbon. Good morning.
	♥ 9:10am Doug Schulkind: Happy morning, dutchtheo! TDK60! Listener Gregory! @TDK60 The Brooklyn Blues have never left me.
	♥ 9:10am Doug Schulkind: @βrian Gargling with Bourbon was the name of my first band in high school.
	🥁 ♥ 9:12am βrian: Doug, I set 'em up …
	🥁 ♥ 9:12am adamdoesit: Good morning, Doug and drummers. Doug, I feel you about the loss of Sondheim. Still, a 50-plus year run ain't bad for Broadway.
	♥ 9:13am Doug Schulkind: @adamdoesit I was hoping for maybe 50 more.
	🥁 ♥ 9:14am βrian: I'm more or less allergic to musicals, but I did once ask my future spouse to "Marry me a little."
	9:14am Listener Gregory: My internet signal is as scratchy as your throat this morning. Where do I pour the bourbon?
	♥ 9:14am Doug Schulkind: Hey, everyone wish Maggie B well on her first day of retirement. Congrats, dear Maggie. Kick up those heels!
	♥ 9:15am Doug Schulkind: It's funny, my voice doesn't sound scratchy to me. But then, I love it when I have a cold because my voice drops a few octaves.
	🥁 ♥ 9:16am βrian: And now you've got octaves on your spats!
	🥁 ♥ 9:17am Maggie B.: Thanks Doug! I know I'm doing the right thing too - not once since I made the decision to retire, did I have that "what have I done" moment.
	♥ 9:18am Doug Schulkind: @βrian Up until the age of maybe 30, I loathed musical as much as the next guy. But then I woke up and discovered the word play, the songcraft, the social commentary and activism, the miraculously poignant observations of the human condition. I also met my future wife who showed me the light.
	🥁 ♥ 9:19am Maggie B.: Oh, Doug, I haven't retired quite yet - my last day is the 31st. But my vacation starts the 14th. So, soon!
	🥁 ♥ 9:19am βrian: As in, "As I look back over my career," what have I done?
	♥ 9:19am Doug Schulkind: Aha, Maggie! Sorry to jump the gun. My sister is retiring on the 31st, too. I hear all the great women are doing it.
	🥁 ♥ 9:20am Brian in UK: Maggie B. Me too @ 9.17, always look forward but not too far!!
	9:20am JtotheK: Super Sweet Talks - is that what people gave prior to Ted?
	🥁 ♥ 9:21am Maggie B.: haha! Great minds. By the way, I too learned to appreciate Broadway musicals when I was an off-Broadway stagehand. Sondheim's loss is a very bright light darkened.
	🥁 ♥ 9:22am Maggie B.: Brian in UK - congrats to you too! It's a good feeling, isn't it?
	9:22am Stork: Happy are the sounds emanating.
	♥ 9:22am Doug Schulkind: @JtotheK THAT is funny.
	♥ 9:22am Doug Schulkind: Hello, lovely Stork!
	🥁 ♥ 9:23am Irene Trudel: Doug, the mention of bourbon and lemon gargle made me think of a nice sore throat soother. My earlier comment was fuel by a lack of coffee.
	🥁 ♥ 9:25am Brian in UK: Maggie B, initially it is a weird feeling but good in a 'why the heck not' way. Trick is to keep on the go.
	🥁 ♥ 9:26am Brian in UK: Irene, you GARGLE it.
	🥁 ♥ 9:27am Maggie B.: Brian in UK - yes, I have to figure out a whole new routine. First and foremost - road trips!
	♥ 9:27am Doug Schulkind: I just got a haircut and now my headphones keep slipping off. Quite an amusing scene over here. Too bad I don't have a live video feed streaming. (Not.)
	🥁 ♥ 9:27am Irene Trudel: Congratulations, Maggie B! Nice to have all that free time. I always feel a little strange taking time off because we're (mostly) conditioned to be working. So glad for you!
	🥁 ♥ 9:28am Irene Trudel: I gargle and sip, Brian.
	🥁 ♥ 9:31am βrian: That Sondheim line made me think of Victoria Roberts' "If I weren't so fond of you, I'd probably be really fond of someone else."
	🥁 ♥ 9:32am Maggie B.: I know what you mean, Irene. What did it for me was the idea of ever having to take that long-ass commute again after working from home for a year and a half. I'm sick of working from home, but I also don't want to commute any more. That's when I knew I was done with this phase of my life. Plus Bill gets to do all this fun stuff while I'm chained to my computer 8 hours a day.
	🥁 ♥ 9:35am βrian: Will Capetown be representing today?
	9:40am Listener Gregory: May I be a member of Doug’s Syncopaters?
	🥁 ♥ 9:40am doctorjazz: Hello Drummers!
	♥ 9:41am Doug Schulkind: @βrian Cape Town? Are you speaking of my last-Friday-of-the-month shows with Chris Albertyn? Is so, that was (checks calendar) last Friday.
	🥁 ♥ 9:42am PAULS: Doug, has your current wife met your future wife?
	♥ 9:42am Doug Schulkind: @PAULS I think they are having an affair.
	9:43am Jessie: Listening from the city where I first heard FMU and met the “drummer.”
	9:43am Listener Gregory: @doctorj! Join Doug’s Syncopaters and we’ll strut with some barbecue together.
	♥ 9:43am TDK60: Thanks for heppin' us to rarer "classical" Doug.
	🥁 ♥ 9:44am doctorjazz: Listener Gregory, I've always wanted to play a fife, I'm game!
	♥ 9:44am Doug Schulkind: Oh my gosh! My once and future wife is tuning in from Gotham! Earlier, Jessie, I credited you with helping me wise up and learn to love musicals.
	9:46am rustypepin: Doug, glad you saw the light, of Broadway, eventually. IMO like opera, free jazz, musicals are so rich, real & rewarding when seen live, upfront & personal. Long live Sondheim.
	🥁 ♥ 9:48am doctorjazz: My wife is also the reason I got to know and love musicals (she still knows much more... Bit can she song a Charlie Parker solo?)
	🥁 ♥ 9:49am βrian: I always think of Carole Burnett about to answer a question, where she stops short and says, "Wait … I'll sing it!"
	♥ 9:49am Doug Schulkind: @TDK60 The best way for me to learn this stuff is to get it on the air. @rustypepin Being an inveterate punster, it's surprising that I hadn't discovered and been drawn to the deep wit and wordplay of the great musical lyricists. Being a person who wants to smash the racist state, it's surprising I wasn't drawn to the powerful and pioneering social activism that golden age of musicals were devoted to.
	🥁 ♥ 9:51am βrian: I have to say, Doug does create a safe space for really bad dad jokes. It makes me feel validated.
	♥ 9:51am TDK60: Speakin' of "classical," I hope DJ Bethany R's "A440/Stochastic Hit Parade" show returns to WFMU.
	♥ 9:52am Doug Schulkind: In 1952, William Levi Dawson traveled to West Africa. He came back from that visit and revised the score for his Negro Folk Symphony, adding in a more significantly pronounced percussion element. This performance from 1963 present this latter, more percussive, version.
	♥ 9:53am Doug Schulkind: @TDK60 I deeply love Bethany's A440.
	♥ 9:54am Doug Schulkind: Gong!
	🥁 ♥ 9:54am βrian: My choir director nicknamed me A430. sniff
	🥁 ♥ 9:55am PAULS: Good to meet you, Jessie! Doug sat behind me in home room
	9:55am Listener Robert: I think it has to do with Bethany's availability over summers. And sometimes winters.
	♥ 9:55am Doug Schulkind: @βrian I suppose it's better than being called A-hole.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56am Jeff Golick: Hello. Kind of highfalutin' in here.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56am doctorjazz: The Ella and Louis albums were the bridge between my wife's love of show music and Ella, and my love of jazz and Satch!
	♥ 9:56am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert Maybe Bethany would be attracted to doing the show from home, no matter the season. (Someone is rubbing his hands together with a brilliant idea.)
	♥ 9:57am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick I've always said, if you gotta be falutin', be highfalutin'.
	🥁 ♥ 9:59am Jeff Golick: I was a chorus member in my high school musicals, which (for someone who absolutely cannot sing on key) was a tremendously fun experience.
	🥁 ♥ 9:59am βrian: John Ashcroft: "Let the Falut Soar!"
	9:59am Listener Robert: I'd also like to get the guy who was on the team assembled by Ms. Thiele (formerly of WNTI, the Centennial College station, and a sort-of protege of Ol' Pal Irwin's) and did a Sunday morning classical series on the Newt Radio stream that the Newton Theatre funded for a quarter year.
	♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind: At the 1934 Carnegie Hall debút of this piece, the audience rose to their feet in thunderous applause at the conclusion of the second movement. A break in proper audience etiquette, but they couldn't help themselves. I am curious to see whether you fine people do the same.
	🥁 ♥ 10:00am Jeff Golick: My wife and I both had the same, one-line role in our respective high school's productions of How to Succeed in Business. True story. Ok, back to the falutin'.
	♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick I couldn't carry a tune if it had handles.
	🥁 ♥ 10:01am βrian: Speakin of singing fun: Our chorale got to sing in York Minster.
	♥ 10:01am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick You're not going to escape that easy. Please recite that line here and now!
	🥁 ♥ 10:02am Jeff Golick: COFFEE BREAK!!
	10:02am Listener Robert: I just remembered Ms. Thiele's first name: Melanie. I've lost touch with her. She'd reassembled her WNTI colleagues to make Newt Radio go.
	♥ 10:02am Listener Gregory: Doug, you won't believe this, but I am convinced I heard this composition a couple of late nights ago, on Vermont Public Radio. I never learned what it was, because I had to go to bed before they announced it. That is a strange coincidence.
	🥁 ♥ 10:02am Brian in UK: South Pacific would be timely now, well it is always timely. Some Enchanted Evening is some song.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03am Jeff Golick: This is quite tremendous.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03am Brian in UK: βrian that must have been thrilling.
	♥ 10:03am StringOFperils: Hello, good morning, Doug. York Minster must have fabulous acoustics, βrian. That must've been fun.
	🥁 ♥ 10:05am doctorjazz: One you have found her, never let her go...
	♥ 10:05am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory Pretty sure it was no coincidence. Recently the NPR program 1A did an episode on Black classical composers, and this piece was cited. They might have played a portion of the symphony. My research led to another NPR presentation where a modern version of the symphony was broadcast. So it has been in the air, and that it surely behind my interest in this particular work. Credit, again, to my wife Jessie, who hipped me to that broadcast of the 1A show.
	🥁 ♥ 10:05am βrian: Yep, good acoustics with a looooooong decay.
	♥ 10:06am Listener Gregory: Of course, it goes without saying that Jessie gets credit for it all.
	♥ 10:06am Rich in Washington: This is wonderful! Was lying in bed trying to figure out what this might be. Good morning, Doug, all!
	♥ 10:08am Doug Schulkind: @Rich in Washington I hope like heck you are still in bed! Good morning!
	♥ 10:08am prguitar: Greetings Doug and fellow Drummers! Glad to be with you all this morning!
	♥ 10:09am Doug Schulkind: @prguitar Hooray and hello!
	♥ 10:10am WR: Hi Doug and all. Have been listening and trying to keep up. I applaud any effort to have Bethany doing new episodes on WFMU. And will add my thanks for another fine GTDS episode, gotta focus on the work stuff now.
	♥ 10:11am Doug Schulkind: Glad to have you for any portion, WR! Come back soon.
	🥁 ♥ 10:13am Jeff Golick: [ @Rich in Washington -- I dig your avatar! Supremely wonderful. ]
	♥ 10:19am Rich in Washington: Thanks, Jeff! I see what you did there!
	♥ 10:19am solo mon: Good morning!
	10:20am JSB: Meanwhile, in 2020 Naxos released a recording of Negro Folk Symphony. Two reviewers for Fanfare put it on their "Want Lists" of year's best. Andrew Desiderio wrote, "The release of Naxos’s new recording of the Negro Folk Symphony (1934) is almost serendipitous in its timing. As racial tensions in the U.S. reach a flash point, the moment has come to start permanently recognizing and honoring the achievements and perspectives of Black musicians and composers, such as William Dawson and Ulysses Kay. Basing his work on authentic musical material, Dawson weaves a symphonic portrait of the African American experience, from the horrors of American slavery to the intoxicating dances and songs of African cultures. What also makes the Negro Folk Symphony so unique is the subtlety of Dawson’s craftsmanship, particularly in his development of familiar themes, which are rendered almost unrecognizable in their thoroughly symphonic fragmentation. In short, this is not a cookie-cutter piece in the manner of Dvořák’s 'New World' Symphony, but a strong and authentic utterance that deserves a place in the pantheon of American symphonies, alongside Ives’s Fourth, Copland’s Third, and Hanson’s Second. Also included are two superb orchestral works by Ulysses Kay, another significant African American composer: Fantasy Variations, which makes innovative and evocative use of the variation method; and Umbrian Scene, a wonderful work that is decidedly austere in its beauty. If there was ever a time for this disc to be released, this is it."
	🥁 ♥ 10:20am adamdoesit: Doug, your ongoing presentation of Black American classical composers, with context, has been one of my favorite radio features of recent memory.
	♥ 10:21am Listener Gregory: That story reminds us of what life was like before photocopiers. Hemingway's wife losing the manuscript of his novel... Carlyle losing the single manuscript of his book (used to light fires by servant?)... and who knows how many musical and literary works. P.S. Plus what @adamdoesit says!
	♥ 10:22am TDK60: JSB, I often find myself choosing rare "classical" CDs at the library and Naxos is often the label.
	♥ 10:23am Doug Schulkind: @JSB Thank you thank you for sharing that. Read that earlier this week. So glad you thought to add it to the discussion here.
	♥ 10:24am Listener Gregory: Don Pullen was the greatest.
	♥ 10:24am Doug Schulkind: @adamdoesit You could hardly say anything else that could please me more.
	♥ 10:25am Doug Schulkind: Here's a little piece I wrote "about" Don Pullen about 20 years ago: wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 10:28am Brian in UK: Listener Gregory, that Carlyle scene was used in Blackadder, with Samuel Johnson's manuscript this time, if memory serves.
	♥ 10:28am Doug Schulkind: For those of you who read the little story I linked to above, here is a postscript. I got an email from Don Pullen's daughter, Tracey. She confirmed that it is she on the album cover.
	🥁 ♥ 10:30am Brian in UK: So is this track about the known unknowns?
	♥ 10:31am Doug Schulkind: This piece sounds like 100 years' worth of music all at once.
	♥ 10:32am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK This chat space is a Donald Rumsfeld–free zone.
	🥁 ♥ 10:32am Brian in UK: If only I'd known!
	🥁 ♥ 10:33am Jeff Golick: Great great great.
	♥ 10:33am Listener Gregory: This piece has strong echoes of Mingus's Orange Was the Color of her Dress, Then Silk Blue [many alternate titles].
	🥁 ♥ 10:34am adamdoesit: That track did nothing to dispel my idea that any Don Pullen record, or anything on Black Saint, is worth buying.
	🥁 ♥ 10:34am Jeff Golick: These guys -- Pullen, Burrell, Byard, too -- put SO MUCH MUSIC into their playing.
	🥁 ♥ 10:34am doctorjazz: The Pullen was amazing!! (Always loved his playing, hadn't heard that one).
	♥ 10:35am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory That would not surprise, given Pullen's association with Mr. Mingus. @Jeff Golick As I was constructing this set, the thought crossed my mind that you, especially, would enjoy it.
	🥁 ♥ 10:35am Jeff Golick: You thought right!
	♥ 10:35am StringOFperils: Don Pullen/George Adams = GOLD
	🥁 ♥ 10:37am sinner: Wish I could enjoy a Mingus eggnog right about now.
	♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick I know that you have played a different version of "Teardrops for Jimmy" on your show. I was trying to figure who the Jimmy might be. I speculate that if it is written for an actual Jimmy, that Jimmy is Jimmy Lyons. What think you?
	♥ 10:38am Doug Schulkind: Welcome aboard, StringOFperils! Your presence is a blessing, sinner!
	♥ 10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Doug and streamers!
	♥ 10:40am Doug Schulkind: Well if it ain't Ken From Hyde Park! It is! It is!
	🥁 ♥ 10:41am Jeff Golick: Y'know, @Doug, my first thought was Jimmy Blanton, though that goes back a ways. Lyons was still alive when Burrell wrote the piece, so I wonder...
	♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick Ah, yes. Silly of my to not pay attention to the date.My Jimmy speculation is uncaged and free once again.
	♥ 10:45am Doug Schulkind: See if your heart doesn't break into a thousand pieces with this Amina Claudine Myers performance.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46am Jeff Golick: Ok, looks like the Jimmy is Jimmy Garrison. Based on what I found on this page: www.jazzlists.com...
	🥁 ♥ 10:47am chresti: Morning Doug and drummers!
	10:47am headcleaner: morning, doug and all
	🥁 ♥ 10:48am Brian in UK: Was Amina Claudine Myers on Dave Sewelson's show a while back. Somehow sounds familiar.
	♥ 10:48am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick Ah, Jimmy Garrison. Sweet Jimmy Garrison. Thanks. Good morning, sweet chresti! Good morning, sweet headcleaner!
	🥁 ♥ 10:48am Jeff Golick: Amina played at Roulette in BK last night and I was sad to miss it.
	🥁 ♥ 10:48am PAULS: Yup. A thousand pieces. thanks doug. Now who's gonna clean this UP???
	♥ 10:49am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK Yes she was on with Dave. Saw her here in Pittsburgh in the last live music I attended before COVID.
	♥ 10:52am TDK60: I have to step out early. Gracias, Doug!
	♥ 10:54am Listener Gregory: I have a bunch of beloved Amina records from the 80s and then there is a gap in which I didn't hear anything about her for over 20 years. She seems to be seeping back into consciousness again, which is great.
	♥ 10:55am ARB: I'll step into your spot TDK60, morning (d)ears!
	🥁 ♥ 10:56am Brian in UK: There is that amazing frisson for a moment when people walk out that briefly distracts from the performance. I remember being at a Peter Maxwell Davies concert and this voice shouted, 'load of rubbish'. Ten minutes later he walked out shouting 'still a load of rubbish'.
	🥁 ♥ 10:57am Brian in UK: He is an Elvis impersonator in real life. Great line.
	♥ 10:58am Listener Gregory: I feel that penultimate sets should be reserved for the final pens.
	🥁 ♥ 10:59am bobdc: The Sondheim soul set is left as an exercise for the budding DJ.
	🥁 ♥ 10:59am doctorjazz: Would have been nice to have caught Amina Claudine Myers, hard to keep up with live music out there (it's a good thing there's that much around again though)
	🥁 ♥ 11:00am PAULS: I think Barry Eugene Carter had that voice since he was like 9 years old.
	♥ 11:01am Listener Gregory: Eschatography is the doctrine of final pens. Ha! A theological-etymological penultimate pun!
	♥ 11:03am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc Give the Drummer Some is fertile ground for budding DJs. Please don't deadhead the DJs!
	♥ 11:03am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory Stephen Sondheim gives me pen envy.
	🥁 ♥ 11:04am PAULS: This is crak-lin'! Who are these two? next to nothing on the web, this seems to be there one and only (together -- Jay Lewis recorded a few sides for Capitol)
	♥ 11:04am solo mon: Looooove Barry’s voice yeahhhh
	♥ 11:06am Doug Schulkind: Tubas in soul! Tubas in soul!
	♥ 11:07am Doug Schulkind: Diane Brooks getting her Dionne on!
	♥ 11:07am Doug Schulkind: Helloooooo, soloooooo!
	♥ 11:12am Franco Twinkie: Doug, still non-functional, but hey.
	♥ 11:13am Doug Schulkind: Odd sort of First-Nations-drum-sounding reference pounding throughout this Willie West tune.
	♥ 11:13am Doug Schulkind: @Franco Twinkie Being fully functional isn't everything.
	♥ 11:14am ARB: Love those drums
	♥ 11:14am Franco Twinkie: Something to ponder Doug.
	🥁 ♥ 11:15am Brian in UK: On the other side of the world to Franco, just put the chickens to bed.
	♥ 11:15am solo mon: Franco I see you’ve added a pussybow to your pajama set. Nice touch.
	♥ 11:15am Phillippe: good morning all
	♥ 11:15am Franco Twinkie: Good morning Alina and Solo.
	♥ 11:16am Doug Schulkind: Does listening to Cha Cha Heels means you're playing with ARBed wire?
	♥ 11:17am Franco Twinkie: Thanks to you Solo, Chresti wants to start busking. I'm not against the idea.
	♥ 11:18am Doug Schulkind: Howdy, Phillippe!
	♥ 11:20am solo mon: Hahaha! Busking can be a beautiful thing, between consenting adults. But don’t force your children to busk.
	♥ 11:20am drowsy: Lots of great great stuff today. That last song got me to the board tho. Thanks Doug, best of the day to all y'alls.
	🥁 ♥ 11:21am βrian: No busking and no religion until they've reached the age of consent.
	♥ 11:23am solo mon: Brian, in a perfect world.
	🥁 ♥ 11:23am PAULS: Do you think anyone called him "Sondy"?? Maybe only when he was busking on Times Square.
	♥ 11:24am Webhamster Henry: Sondheim was adamant about having his theatrical songs make sense in the shows context.
	♥ 11:24am Webhamster Henry: That is, most of his songs do not escape from the shows into pop culture.
	♥ 11:24am StringOFperils: Saw a production of Sondheim's Assassins, several years back, ,and that was a revelation. I do wish people would stop sending in the clones.
	♥ 11:25am Franco Twinkie: I'm totally shameless and a lousy singer, so this sounds like a perfect fit for me
	♥ 11:25am solo mon: Assassins is great.
	11:25am JSB: Todd Rundgren covered this one.
	♥ 11:25am Webhamster Henry: "Where's my prize?!!"
	🥁 ♥ 11:26am bobdc: (@doug: West Wide Story?)
	♥ 11:26am Doug Schulkind: Sondheim very much mostly disliked his work for West Side Story. He has explained that Leonard Bernstein pushed him into a more over-the-top POETIC appeal in the words. Sondheim had been embarrassed by many of the songs. This track, Something's Comin', was the one song he felt sounded natural and real.
	♥ 11:27am ARB: Wish i had someone to protect me from ogres
	♥ 11:28am Franco Twinkie: Solo, I just remembered a real life pussybow story. Typically, it's overlong and inappropriate so it's gonna have to wait.
	♥ 11:28am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc Indeed, indeed! Thanks for the gentle correction.
	♥ 11:29am Doug Schulkind: Very difficult (poor me, wah wah wah) trying to whittle this down. A tune from Assassins almost made the cut.
	🥁 ♥ 11:30am PAULS: WE all feel your pain, D
	♥ 11:31am Webhamster Henry: Pacific Overtures has lots of mini-plays in song.
	♥ 11:31am drowsy: Over on the site Metafilter, user hippybear has been constructing v good posts regarding Sondheim, I have enjoyed them even though I am a musicals guy. Here's the link (www.metafilter.com...)
	♥ 11:31am happymaan: Hey y'all. I'm new to this show
	♥ 11:32am Doug Schulkind: @Webhamster Henry Pacific Overtures coming up next. Welcome welcome, happymaan! So happy you're here, maan!
	♥ 11:32am WR: welcome happymaan!
	♥ 11:32am Doug Schulkind: @drowsy I have been wallowing in Sondheim for the past week. I will head over there pronto. Thanks for sharing the link.
	♥ 11:33am StringOFperils: K, I'm going out in the back yard for a bit to sing. Gonna rock this neighbourhood, it's all comin' my way, You don't see it, you don't get it, I don't care, It's all comin' my way...some day.....something along those lines...brb...
	♥ 11:33am happymaan: Thank you @WR, is it normally this showtune heavy?
	♥ 11:34am WR: I came back to the WFMU screen, wanting to comment about my first brush with Sondheim. West Side Story at the local drive inn movie theater.
	♥ 11:34am Webhamster Henry: I saw Sweeney Todd three times in the original staging. And there was a good version done by Cooperstown based Glimmerglass Opera I took the kids to.
	♥ 11:35am happymaan: I love West Side Story, but have no interest in the new movie, do you?
	♥ 11:35am drowsy: @happymaan, keep coming back! @WR, do tell... drivein!!!
	♥ 11:35am Listener Gregory: My internet is dropping out so regularly that I have to drop out as well. I will return from the future to hear the set uninterrupted on the archive. Thanks, Doug! Wonderful show.
	♥ 11:35am WR: @happymaan, Doug's program is as varied as all the drummer stream. Show tunes and musical theater, only show consistently having is Acid Jazz Hands, Friday's at 7PM ET.
	♥ 11:36am happymaan: Thank you @WR.
	♥ 11:37am happymaan: Normally my go to after WFMU is Sheena's, but I saw we had a live DJ here so....here I am.
	♥ 11:37am Listener Gregory: @happymaan, I saw Sondheim on Colbert, and he was very enthusiastic about the Spielberg version of West Side Story. I found that surprising.
	🥁 ♥ 11:37am chresti: Me too, ARB! And ogresses. Haha StringO, sing it!
	♥ 11:37am Webhamster Henry: There's actually dialog between the verses of Bowler Hat, but it sure doesn't need it.
	♥ 11:37am Doug Schulkind: I am dying to see the new staging of Company finally arriving on Broadway. (It was in previews when the pandemic shut things down.) Article in today's New York Times with an interview with Sondheim conducted days before his sudden death last Friday. Sondheim talks about the new version of Company, with the gender-switch. (Bobby is now Bobbie.)
	🥁 ♥ 11:37am Uncle Michael: Please join me for this and that on Hinky Dinky Time at the top of the hour. wfmu.org... HI!
	♥ 11:38am WR: I'm going to check out the new movie, have seen a clip I think. Have low expectation, hope to be surprised.
	♥ 11:38am Doug Schulkind: Uncle Michael bubby!
	♥ 11:38am happymaan: @LG, yeah I've heard nothihng but great things about it, but I just can't care about it being remade. I'll probably watch it when it's streaming. I'm a no trailer guy so I've not seen anything.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39am Jeff Golick: I saw the recent restaging of West Side Story (with new choreography!?), which makes me less intrigued about the new movie version.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39am Uncle Michael: I saw this original Broadway cast. (ALNM)
	♥ 11:40am ARB: Bursting with chat 👋
	♥ 11:40am happymaan: I'll check it out @Uncle Michael but to be honest, I'm a bit weary from that Beatles gif.
	♥ 11:40am Webhamster Henry: My ex played the Countess Charlotte in A Little Night Music in a local production, who has the best laugh lines.
	🥁 ♥ 11:40am Stork: I saw the original version of Pacific Overtures on Bdway in 1976, for I am one The Ancient Ones. And that segue to the Len Cariou was seamless!
	♥ 11:40am Doug Schulkind: Who is directing the new film version of WSS? I just read about it, but I've forgotten.
	🥁 ♥ 11:40am Uncle Michael: shrug
	♥ 11:41am happymaan: We have a friend who grew up in Afghanistan, not seeing many US movies or anything. We showed her Little Shop of Horrors for the first time a few weeks ago, it was so fun! She loved it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:41am Jeff Golick: Spielberg, I think, Doug?
	♥ 11:41am happymaan: Speilberg
	♥ 11:42am happymaan: I'm sure it will be very well done. The access who plays Maria is very good.
	♥ 11:42am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick @happymaan Ah. Right. Yeah, not dying to see it. "That lovely perfection / That nothing can dim"
	♥ 11:42am happymaan: But I've not heard her with an accent or singing yet.
	♥ 11:43am Listener Gregory: I will never come to terms with the simple fact that the squirrels in my yard are not afraid of me.
	🥁 ♥ 11:43am Stork: @Um: FWIW, that Beatles .gif is marvy, say I.
	♥ 11:43am Listener Gregory: (Turned off the sound but still reading comments. They are very interesting while Merzbow is playing.)
	♥ 11:44am prguitar: Great writing on Don Pullen Doug!! You've captured his essence! Thankful to have seen him play in person many times all those years ago!
	♥ 11:44am happymaan: I'm just not much of a Beatles fan in general, and for obvious reasons, they're getting a lot of play now so I'm just kind of over it.
	♥ 11:45am StringOFperils: Sounds fascinating. Just don't expect the new WSS too be the old WSS. There's room to be creative with that property and kind of a built-in necessitiy to look at America through an updated lens, in the process, so you have to rebuild it anyway; and who better to f*** with things, if not Spielberg? ha ha
	♥ 11:45am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory My dog has killed three squirrels in our backyard. Which is unnerving given that we live in Squirrel Hill. @prguitar Thanks! A beloved memory.
	♥ 11:45am happymaan: @gregory I once had a squirrel steal a cupcake while I was napping in a park.
	♥ 11:46am Listener Gregory: Could they not show a modicum of respect and at least run off the deck when I come to the sliding door? Stopping and scratching your hindquarters is simply offensive.
	♥ 11:46am Doug Schulkind: Stork played "Finishing the Hat" on the Stork Club last Sunday. What simple perfection. (The song, but also Stork.)
	♥ 11:47am happymaan: I don't know this song, (finishing the hat) I really like it.
	11:47am Listening Out There: Years back, a work cohort directed me to deadsquirrel.com, after we both had issues with the critters. The site described various vengeful, nasty things to do to troublemaking squirrels. Sadly, the web site is no longer with us...
	♥ 11:49am StringOFperils: Some guy at a party, once, told me I looked like Mandy Patinkin. And I had this feeling he was trying to offend me [That's my Many Patinkin memory.]
	♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind: Yesterday was George Seurat's birthday, BTW.
	♥ 11:49am Webhamster Henry: Ephemeral DJ John Schnall's Dog Gino's 2020 presidential campaign was based on anti-squirrel bias.
	11:50am Andres: Hi, Doug! Thanks for putting together this tribute. I don’t know much Sondheim but stunned myself by picking that out as Mandy Patinkin. All those viewings of Princess Bride maybe?
	♥ 11:50am Doug Schulkind: How absolutely insane is it that while making the cast album for Company and singing his guts out on this song about marriage, Dean Jones was at that very moment going through a horrible horrible divorce.
	♥ 11:50am StringOFperils: The show must go ON
	♥ 11:50am happymaan: Allison Janney has a story where a bartender said "I hate you offend you, but you look like Allison Janney"
	🥁 ♥ 11:51am Stork: @Doug: (blushing emoji)
	♥ 11:51am prguitar: You're welcome Doug! Don Pullen's playing was remarkable.. Unmistakeable after only hearing a few notes!!
	♥ 11:51am happymaan: @Andres, my wife was just saying she didn't know who Mandy Patinkin was, I had to correct her.
	♥ 11:52am Doug Schulkind: @Andres Like Patinkin, my wife was from Chicago. One time in the early '70s, my wife's friend Laura took her along to a performance at the local Jewish Community Center because her cousin, Mandy, was performing. He was very very good.
	11:52am Listening Out There: The Spielberg version of WSS is supposed to have Rita Moreno - Maria in the original - in it, but doing a role originally by a male cast member. Might be worth seeing just for that...
	♥ 11:53am happymaan: I'm from Chicago, one of my mom's friends was a relative of his. My mom brought me to see him live once.
	♥ 11:53am StringOFperils: This is surprisingly enjoyable, the Dean Jones. Great vocal performance.
	🥁 ♥ 11:55am Stork: Wow! I don't know Into the Woods at all! This is just sublime, Doug.
	♥ 11:55am Webhamster Henry: Look for Raul Esparza's and NPH's versions of Bobby!
	♥ 11:55am Doug Schulkind: Hello and howdy, Listening Out There. And just like that. Stephen Sondheim. No more.
	♥ 11:55am Webhamster Henry: This song was cut from the movie version of ITW.
	🥁 ♥ 11:55am doctorjazz: The Dean Jones was quite amazing! Terrific tribute, Doug (just got to the Pullen article you wrote, very fine indeed). Thanks, Doug!
	♥ 11:55am Doug Schulkind: @Webhamster Henry Esparza blows the roof off it.
	♥ 11:57am happymaan: Thanks for a lovely show Doug, I'll keep an eye out for another.
	♥ 11:57am Doug Schulkind: I'm here every Friday, happymaan. Would love to see you back again.
	♥ 11:57am Doug Schulkind: Giant no more.
	♥ 11:58am Webhamster Henry: Thanks -- Till next time, and don't miss Acid Jazz Hands!
	🥁 ♥ 11:58am Stork: Wowzer! Great great great, Dougie!!
	♥ 11:58am StringOFperils: John Lee. Like a shooter after the Sondheim
	♥ 11:59am WR: Thank you Doug. Onward.
	11:59am JtotheK: Enjoyed the show, thanks Doug!
	♥ 11:59am Rich in Washington: Thanks, Doug! Lovely show today!
	🥁 ♥ 12:00pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Doug!
	♥ 12:00pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Doug. A little strident first thing in the morning, but essential. You are a good and knowledgeable teacher.
	♥ 12:00pm StringOFperils: thx!
	♥ 12:01pm prguitar: Thanks for another illuminating show Doug!! Take good care!! Sure we'll cross paths again soon dear friend!
	🥁 ♥ 12:01pm chresti: Thanks Doug!
	🥁 ♥ 12:01pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, Doug!
	♥ 12:01pm Doug Schulkind: @StringOFperils Yeah, that was kind of harsh. Sorries! Thank you all so much for hanging out with me. It's good therapy for me, at least! Can't wait to do it again!
	♥ 12:02pm ARB: Thank you Doug!!
	♥ 12:16pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the great show!

	9:06am bigplanetnoise: Hey there, GFB!

	9:08am KWilde: Good Morning all!

	♥ 9:08am Doug Schulkind: Greetings, listener Rey! Gina Bacon! Momma Maggie B! KWilde!
	♥ 9:08am TDK60: Good morning, Doug! Stuck Inside of Pittsburgh with the Brooklyn Blues Again? (sorry.)
	9:09am Listener Gregory: Side by Side by the Stream? Good morning, all.
	🥁 ♥ 9:10am βrian: Gargling With Bourbon. Good morning.
	♥ 9:10am Doug Schulkind: Happy morning, dutchtheo! TDK60! Listener Gregory! @TDK60 The Brooklyn Blues have never left me.
	♥ 9:10am Doug Schulkind: @βrian Gargling with Bourbon was the name of my first band in high school.
	🥁 ♥ 9:12am βrian: Doug, I set 'em up …
	🥁 ♥ 9:12am adamdoesit: Good morning, Doug and drummers. Doug, I feel you about the loss of Sondheim. Still, a 50-plus year run ain't bad for Broadway.
	♥ 9:13am Doug Schulkind: @adamdoesit I was hoping for maybe 50 more.
	🥁 ♥ 9:14am βrian: I'm more or less allergic to musicals, but I did once ask my future spouse to "Marry me a little."
	9:14am Listener Gregory: My internet signal is as scratchy as your throat this morning. Where do I pour the bourbon?
	♥ 9:14am Doug Schulkind: Hey, everyone wish Maggie B well on her first day of retirement. Congrats, dear Maggie. Kick up those heels!
	♥ 9:15am Doug Schulkind: It's funny, my voice doesn't sound scratchy to me. But then, I love it when I have a cold because my voice drops a few octaves.
	🥁 ♥ 9:16am βrian: And now you've got octaves on your spats!
	🥁 ♥ 9:17am Maggie B.: Thanks Doug! I know I'm doing the right thing too - not once since I made the decision to retire, did I have that "what have I done" moment.
	♥ 9:18am Doug Schulkind: @βrian Up until the age of maybe 30, I loathed musical as much as the next guy. But then I woke up and discovered the word play, the songcraft, the social commentary and activism, the miraculously poignant observations of the human condition. I also met my future wife who showed me the light.
	🥁 ♥ 9:19am Maggie B.: Oh, Doug, I haven't retired quite yet - my last day is the 31st. But my vacation starts the 14th. So, soon!
	🥁 ♥ 9:19am βrian: As in, "As I look back over my career," what have I done?
	♥ 9:19am Doug Schulkind: Aha, Maggie! Sorry to jump the gun. My sister is retiring on the 31st, too. I hear all the great women are doing it.
	🥁 ♥ 9:20am Brian in UK: Maggie B. Me too @ 9.17, always look forward but not too far!!
	9:20am JtotheK: Super Sweet Talks - is that what people gave prior to Ted?
	🥁 ♥ 9:21am Maggie B.: haha! Great minds. By the way, I too learned to appreciate Broadway musicals when I was an off-Broadway stagehand. Sondheim's loss is a very bright light darkened.
	🥁 ♥ 9:22am Maggie B.: Brian in UK - congrats to you too! It's a good feeling, isn't it?
	9:22am Stork: Happy are the sounds emanating.
	♥ 9:22am Doug Schulkind: @JtotheK THAT is funny.
	♥ 9:22am Doug Schulkind: Hello, lovely Stork!
	🥁 ♥ 9:23am Irene Trudel: Doug, the mention of bourbon and lemon gargle made me think of a nice sore throat soother. My earlier comment was fuel by a lack of coffee.
	🥁 ♥ 9:25am Brian in UK: Maggie B, initially it is a weird feeling but good in a 'why the heck not' way. Trick is to keep on the go.
	🥁 ♥ 9:26am Brian in UK: Irene, you GARGLE it.
	🥁 ♥ 9:27am Maggie B.: Brian in UK - yes, I have to figure out a whole new routine. First and foremost - road trips!
	♥ 9:27am Doug Schulkind: I just got a haircut and now my headphones keep slipping off. Quite an amusing scene over here. Too bad I don't have a live video feed streaming. (Not.)
	🥁 ♥ 9:27am Irene Trudel: Congratulations, Maggie B! Nice to have all that free time. I always feel a little strange taking time off because we're (mostly) conditioned to be working. So glad for you!
	🥁 ♥ 9:28am Irene Trudel: I gargle and sip, Brian.
	🥁 ♥ 9:31am βrian: That Sondheim line made me think of Victoria Roberts' "If I weren't so fond of you, I'd probably be really fond of someone else."
	🥁 ♥ 9:32am Maggie B.: I know what you mean, Irene. What did it for me was the idea of ever having to take that long-ass commute again after working from home for a year and a half. I'm sick of working from home, but I also don't want to commute any more. That's when I knew I was done with this phase of my life. Plus Bill gets to do all this fun stuff while I'm chained to my computer 8 hours a day.
	🥁 ♥ 9:35am βrian: Will Capetown be representing today?
	9:40am Listener Gregory: May I be a member of Doug’s Syncopaters?
	🥁 ♥ 9:40am doctorjazz: Hello Drummers!
	♥ 9:41am Doug Schulkind: @βrian Cape Town? Are you speaking of my last-Friday-of-the-month shows with Chris Albertyn? Is so, that was (checks calendar) last Friday.
	🥁 ♥ 9:42am PAULS: Doug, has your current wife met your future wife?
	♥ 9:42am Doug Schulkind: @PAULS I think they are having an affair.
	9:43am Jessie: Listening from the city where I first heard FMU and met the “drummer.”
	9:43am Listener Gregory: @doctorj! Join Doug’s Syncopaters and we’ll strut with some barbecue together.
	♥ 9:43am TDK60: Thanks for heppin' us to rarer "classical" Doug.
	🥁 ♥ 9:44am doctorjazz: Listener Gregory, I've always wanted to play a fife, I'm game!
	♥ 9:44am Doug Schulkind: Oh my gosh! My once and future wife is tuning in from Gotham! Earlier, Jessie, I credited you with helping me wise up and learn to love musicals.
	9:46am rustypepin: Doug, glad you saw the light, of Broadway, eventually. IMO like opera, free jazz, musicals are so rich, real & rewarding when seen live, upfront & personal. Long live Sondheim.
	🥁 ♥ 9:48am doctorjazz: My wife is also the reason I got to know and love musicals (she still knows much more... Bit can she song a Charlie Parker solo?)
	🥁 ♥ 9:49am βrian: I always think of Carole Burnett about to answer a question, where she stops short and says, "Wait … I'll sing it!"
	♥ 9:49am Doug Schulkind: @TDK60 The best way for me to learn this stuff is to get it on the air. @rustypepin Being an inveterate punster, it's surprising that I hadn't discovered and been drawn to the deep wit and wordplay of the great musical lyricists. Being a person who wants to smash the racist state, it's surprising I wasn't drawn to the powerful and pioneering social activism that golden age of musicals were devoted to.
	🥁 ♥ 9:51am βrian: I have to say, Doug does create a safe space for really bad dad jokes. It makes me feel validated.
	♥ 9:51am TDK60: Speakin' of "classical," I hope DJ Bethany R's "A440/Stochastic Hit Parade" show returns to WFMU.
	♥ 9:52am Doug Schulkind: In 1952, William Levi Dawson traveled to West Africa. He came back from that visit and revised the score for his Negro Folk Symphony, adding in a more significantly pronounced percussion element. This performance from 1963 present this latter, more percussive, version.
	♥ 9:53am Doug Schulkind: @TDK60 I deeply love Bethany's A440.
	♥ 9:54am Doug Schulkind: Gong!
	🥁 ♥ 9:54am βrian: My choir director nicknamed me A430. sniff
	🥁 ♥ 9:55am PAULS: Good to meet you, Jessie! Doug sat behind me in home room
	9:55am Listener Robert: I think it has to do with Bethany's availability over summers. And sometimes winters.
	♥ 9:55am Doug Schulkind: @βrian I suppose it's better than being called A-hole.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56am Jeff Golick: Hello. Kind of highfalutin' in here.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56am doctorjazz: The Ella and Louis albums were the bridge between my wife's love of show music and Ella, and my love of jazz and Satch!
	♥ 9:56am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Robert Maybe Bethany would be attracted to doing the show from home, no matter the season. (Someone is rubbing his hands together with a brilliant idea.)
	♥ 9:57am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick I've always said, if you gotta be falutin', be highfalutin'.
	🥁 ♥ 9:59am Jeff Golick: I was a chorus member in my high school musicals, which (for someone who absolutely cannot sing on key) was a tremendously fun experience.
	🥁 ♥ 9:59am βrian: John Ashcroft: "Let the Falut Soar!"
	9:59am Listener Robert: I'd also like to get the guy who was on the team assembled by Ms. Thiele (formerly of WNTI, the Centennial College station, and a sort-of protege of Ol' Pal Irwin's) and did a Sunday morning classical series on the Newt Radio stream that the Newton Theatre funded for a quarter year.
	♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind: At the 1934 Carnegie Hall debút of this piece, the audience rose to their feet in thunderous applause at the conclusion of the second movement. A break in proper audience etiquette, but they couldn't help themselves. I am curious to see whether you fine people do the same.
	🥁 ♥ 10:00am Jeff Golick: My wife and I both had the same, one-line role in our respective high school's productions of How to Succeed in Business. True story. Ok, back to the falutin'.
	♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick I couldn't carry a tune if it had handles.
	🥁 ♥ 10:01am βrian: Speakin of singing fun: Our chorale got to sing in York Minster.
	♥ 10:01am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick You're not going to escape that easy. Please recite that line here and now!
	🥁 ♥ 10:02am Jeff Golick: COFFEE BREAK!!
	10:02am Listener Robert: I just remembered Ms. Thiele's first name: Melanie. I've lost touch with her. She'd reassembled her WNTI colleagues to make Newt Radio go.
	♥ 10:02am Listener Gregory: Doug, you won't believe this, but I am convinced I heard this composition a couple of late nights ago, on Vermont Public Radio. I never learned what it was, because I had to go to bed before they announced it. That is a strange coincidence.
	🥁 ♥ 10:02am Brian in UK: South Pacific would be timely now, well it is always timely. Some Enchanted Evening is some song.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03am Jeff Golick: This is quite tremendous.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03am Brian in UK: βrian that must have been thrilling.
	♥ 10:03am StringOFperils: Hello, good morning, Doug. York Minster must have fabulous acoustics, βrian. That must've been fun.
	🥁 ♥ 10:05am doctorjazz: One you have found her, never let her go...
	♥ 10:05am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory Pretty sure it was no coincidence. Recently the NPR program 1A did an episode on Black classical composers, and this piece was cited. They might have played a portion of the symphony. My research led to another NPR presentation where a modern version of the symphony was broadcast. So it has been in the air, and that it surely behind my interest in this particular work. Credit, again, to my wife Jessie, who hipped me to that broadcast of the 1A show.
	🥁 ♥ 10:05am βrian: Yep, good acoustics with a looooooong decay.
	♥ 10:06am Listener Gregory: Of course, it goes without saying that Jessie gets credit for it all.
	♥ 10:06am Rich in Washington: This is wonderful! Was lying in bed trying to figure out what this might be. Good morning, Doug, all!
	♥ 10:08am Doug Schulkind: @Rich in Washington I hope like heck you are still in bed! Good morning!
	♥ 10:08am prguitar: Greetings Doug and fellow Drummers! Glad to be with you all this morning!
	♥ 10:09am Doug Schulkind: @prguitar Hooray and hello!
	♥ 10:10am WR: Hi Doug and all. Have been listening and trying to keep up. I applaud any effort to have Bethany doing new episodes on WFMU. And will add my thanks for another fine GTDS episode, gotta focus on the work stuff now.
	♥ 10:11am Doug Schulkind: Glad to have you for any portion, WR! Come back soon.
	🥁 ♥ 10:13am Jeff Golick: [ @Rich in Washington -- I dig your avatar! Supremely wonderful. ]
	♥ 10:19am Rich in Washington: Thanks, Jeff! I see what you did there!
	♥ 10:19am solo mon: Good morning!
	10:20am JSB: Meanwhile, in 2020 Naxos released a recording of Negro Folk Symphony. Two reviewers for Fanfare put it on their "Want Lists" of year's best. Andrew Desiderio wrote, "The release of Naxos’s new recording of the Negro Folk Symphony (1934) is almost serendipitous in its timing. As racial tensions in the U.S. reach a flash point, the moment has come to start permanently recognizing and honoring the achievements and perspectives of Black musicians and composers, such as William Dawson and Ulysses Kay. Basing his work on authentic musical material, Dawson weaves a symphonic portrait of the African American experience, from the horrors of American slavery to the intoxicating dances and songs of African cultures. What also makes the Negro Folk Symphony so unique is the subtlety of Dawson’s craftsmanship, particularly in his development of familiar themes, which are rendered almost unrecognizable in their thoroughly symphonic fragmentation. In short, this is not a cookie-cutter piece in the manner of Dvořák’s 'New World' Symphony, but a strong and authentic utterance that deserves a place in the pantheon of American symphonies, alongside Ives’s Fourth, Copland’s Third, and Hanson’s Second. Also included are two superb orchestral works by Ulysses Kay, another significant African American composer: Fantasy Variations, which makes innovative and evocative use of the variation method; and Umbrian Scene, a wonderful work that is decidedly austere in its beauty. If there was ever a time for this disc to be released, this is it."
	🥁 ♥ 10:20am adamdoesit: Doug, your ongoing presentation of Black American classical composers, with context, has been one of my favorite radio features of recent memory.
	♥ 10:21am Listener Gregory: That story reminds us of what life was like before photocopiers. Hemingway's wife losing the manuscript of his novel... Carlyle losing the single manuscript of his book (used to light fires by servant?)... and who knows how many musical and literary works. P.S. Plus what @adamdoesit says!
	♥ 10:22am TDK60: JSB, I often find myself choosing rare "classical" CDs at the library and Naxos is often the label.
	♥ 10:23am Doug Schulkind: @JSB Thank you thank you for sharing that. Read that earlier this week. So glad you thought to add it to the discussion here.
	♥ 10:24am Listener Gregory: Don Pullen was the greatest.
	♥ 10:24am Doug Schulkind: @adamdoesit You could hardly say anything else that could please me more.
	♥ 10:25am Doug Schulkind: Here's a little piece I wrote "about" Don Pullen about 20 years ago: wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 10:28am Brian in UK: Listener Gregory, that Carlyle scene was used in Blackadder, with Samuel Johnson's manuscript this time, if memory serves.
	♥ 10:28am Doug Schulkind: For those of you who read the little story I linked to above, here is a postscript. I got an email from Don Pullen's daughter, Tracey. She confirmed that it is she on the album cover.
	🥁 ♥ 10:30am Brian in UK: So is this track about the known unknowns?
	♥ 10:31am Doug Schulkind: This piece sounds like 100 years' worth of music all at once.
	♥ 10:32am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK This chat space is a Donald Rumsfeld–free zone.
	🥁 ♥ 10:32am Brian in UK: If only I'd known!
	🥁 ♥ 10:33am Jeff Golick: Great great great.
	♥ 10:33am Listener Gregory: This piece has strong echoes of Mingus's Orange Was the Color of her Dress, Then Silk Blue [many alternate titles].
	🥁 ♥ 10:34am adamdoesit: That track did nothing to dispel my idea that any Don Pullen record, or anything on Black Saint, is worth buying.
	🥁 ♥ 10:34am Jeff Golick: These guys -- Pullen, Burrell, Byard, too -- put SO MUCH MUSIC into their playing.
	🥁 ♥ 10:34am doctorjazz: The Pullen was amazing!! (Always loved his playing, hadn't heard that one).
	♥ 10:35am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory That would not surprise, given Pullen's association with Mr. Mingus. @Jeff Golick As I was constructing this set, the thought crossed my mind that you, especially, would enjoy it.
	🥁 ♥ 10:35am Jeff Golick: You thought right!
	♥ 10:35am StringOFperils: Don Pullen/George Adams = GOLD
	🥁 ♥ 10:37am sinner: Wish I could enjoy a Mingus eggnog right about now.
	♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick I know that you have played a different version of "Teardrops for Jimmy" on your show. I was trying to figure who the Jimmy might be. I speculate that if it is written for an actual Jimmy, that Jimmy is Jimmy Lyons. What think you?
	♥ 10:38am Doug Schulkind: Welcome aboard, StringOFperils! Your presence is a blessing, sinner!
	♥ 10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Doug and streamers!
	♥ 10:40am Doug Schulkind: Well if it ain't Ken From Hyde Park! It is! It is!
	🥁 ♥ 10:41am Jeff Golick: Y'know, @Doug, my first thought was Jimmy Blanton, though that goes back a ways. Lyons was still alive when Burrell wrote the piece, so I wonder...
	♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick Ah, yes. Silly of my to not pay attention to the date.My Jimmy speculation is uncaged and free once again.
	♥ 10:45am Doug Schulkind: See if your heart doesn't break into a thousand pieces with this Amina Claudine Myers performance.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46am Jeff Golick: Ok, looks like the Jimmy is Jimmy Garrison. Based on what I found on this page: www.jazzlists.com...
	🥁 ♥ 10:47am chresti: Morning Doug and drummers!
	10:47am headcleaner: morning, doug and all
	🥁 ♥ 10:48am Brian in UK: Was Amina Claudine Myers on Dave Sewelson's show a while back. Somehow sounds familiar.
	♥ 10:48am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick Ah, Jimmy Garrison. Sweet Jimmy Garrison. Thanks. Good morning, sweet chresti! Good morning, sweet headcleaner!
	🥁 ♥ 10:48am Jeff Golick: Amina played at Roulette in BK last night and I was sad to miss it.
	🥁 ♥ 10:48am PAULS: Yup. A thousand pieces. thanks doug. Now who's gonna clean this UP???
	♥ 10:49am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK Yes she was on with Dave. Saw her here in Pittsburgh in the last live music I attended before COVID.
	♥ 10:52am TDK60: I have to step out early. Gracias, Doug!
	♥ 10:54am Listener Gregory: I have a bunch of beloved Amina records from the 80s and then there is a gap in which I didn't hear anything about her for over 20 years. She seems to be seeping back into consciousness again, which is great.
	♥ 10:55am ARB: I'll step into your spot TDK60, morning (d)ears!
	🥁 ♥ 10:56am Brian in UK: There is that amazing frisson for a moment when people walk out that briefly distracts from the performance. I remember being at a Peter Maxwell Davies concert and this voice shouted, 'load of rubbish'. Ten minutes later he walked out shouting 'still a load of rubbish'.
	🥁 ♥ 10:57am Brian in UK: He is an Elvis impersonator in real life. Great line.
	♥ 10:58am Listener Gregory: I feel that penultimate sets should be reserved for the final pens.
	🥁 ♥ 10:59am bobdc: The Sondheim soul set is left as an exercise for the budding DJ.
	🥁 ♥ 10:59am doctorjazz: Would have been nice to have caught Amina Claudine Myers, hard to keep up with live music out there (it's a good thing there's that much around again though)
	🥁 ♥ 11:00am PAULS: I think Barry Eugene Carter had that voice since he was like 9 years old.
	♥ 11:01am Listener Gregory: Eschatography is the doctrine of final pens. Ha! A theological-etymological penultimate pun!
	♥ 11:03am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc Give the Drummer Some is fertile ground for budding DJs. Please don't deadhead the DJs!
	♥ 11:03am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory Stephen Sondheim gives me pen envy.
	🥁 ♥ 11:04am PAULS: This is crak-lin'! Who are these two? next to nothing on the web, this seems to be there one and only (together -- Jay Lewis recorded a few sides for Capitol)
	♥ 11:04am solo mon: Looooove Barry’s voice yeahhhh
	♥ 11:06am Doug Schulkind: Tubas in soul! Tubas in soul!
	♥ 11:07am Doug Schulkind: Diane Brooks getting her Dionne on!
	♥ 11:07am Doug Schulkind: Helloooooo, soloooooo!
	♥ 11:12am Franco Twinkie: Doug, still non-functional, but hey.
	♥ 11:13am Doug Schulkind: Odd sort of First-Nations-drum-sounding reference pounding throughout this Willie West tune.
	♥ 11:13am Doug Schulkind: @Franco Twinkie Being fully functional isn't everything.
	♥ 11:14am ARB: Love those drums
	♥ 11:14am Franco Twinkie: Something to ponder Doug.
	🥁 ♥ 11:15am Brian in UK: On the other side of the world to Franco, just put the chickens to bed.
	♥ 11:15am solo mon: Franco I see you’ve added a pussybow to your pajama set. Nice touch.
	♥ 11:15am Phillippe: good morning all
	♥ 11:15am Franco Twinkie: Good morning Alina and Solo.
	♥ 11:16am Doug Schulkind: Does listening to Cha Cha Heels means you're playing with ARBed wire?
	♥ 11:17am Franco Twinkie: Thanks to you Solo, Chresti wants to start busking. I'm not against the idea.
	♥ 11:18am Doug Schulkind: Howdy, Phillippe!
	♥ 11:20am solo mon: Hahaha! Busking can be a beautiful thing, between consenting adults. But don’t force your children to busk.
	♥ 11:20am drowsy: Lots of great great stuff today. That last song got me to the board tho. Thanks Doug, best of the day to all y'alls.
	🥁 ♥ 11:21am βrian: No busking and no religion until they've reached the age of consent.
	♥ 11:23am solo mon: Brian, in a perfect world.
	🥁 ♥ 11:23am PAULS: Do you think anyone called him "Sondy"?? Maybe only when he was busking on Times Square.
	♥ 11:24am Webhamster Henry: Sondheim was adamant about having his theatrical songs make sense in the shows context.
	♥ 11:24am Webhamster Henry: That is, most of his songs do not escape from the shows into pop culture.
	♥ 11:24am StringOFperils: Saw a production of Sondheim's Assassins, several years back, ,and that was a revelation. I do wish people would stop sending in the clones.
	♥ 11:25am Franco Twinkie: I'm totally shameless and a lousy singer, so this sounds like a perfect fit for me
	♥ 11:25am solo mon: Assassins is great.
	11:25am JSB: Todd Rundgren covered this one.
	♥ 11:25am Webhamster Henry: "Where's my prize?!!"
	🥁 ♥ 11:26am bobdc: (@doug: West Wide Story?)
	♥ 11:26am Doug Schulkind: Sondheim very much mostly disliked his work for West Side Story. He has explained that Leonard Bernstein pushed him into a more over-the-top POETIC appeal in the words. Sondheim had been embarrassed by many of the songs. This track, Something's Comin', was the one song he felt sounded natural and real.
	♥ 11:27am ARB: Wish i had someone to protect me from ogres
	♥ 11:28am Franco Twinkie: Solo, I just remembered a real life pussybow story. Typically, it's overlong and inappropriate so it's gonna have to wait.
	♥ 11:28am Doug Schulkind: @bobdc Indeed, indeed! Thanks for the gentle correction.
	♥ 11:29am Doug Schulkind: Very difficult (poor me, wah wah wah) trying to whittle this down. A tune from Assassins almost made the cut.
	🥁 ♥ 11:30am PAULS: WE all feel your pain, D
	♥ 11:31am Webhamster Henry: Pacific Overtures has lots of mini-plays in song.
	♥ 11:31am drowsy: Over on the site Metafilter, user hippybear has been constructing v good posts regarding Sondheim, I have enjoyed them even though I am a musicals guy. Here's the link (www.metafilter.com...)
	♥ 11:31am happymaan: Hey y'all. I'm new to this show
	♥ 11:32am Doug Schulkind: @Webhamster Henry Pacific Overtures coming up next. Welcome welcome, happymaan! So happy you're here, maan!
	♥ 11:32am WR: welcome happymaan!
	♥ 11:32am Doug Schulkind: @drowsy I have been wallowing in Sondheim for the past week. I will head over there pronto. Thanks for sharing the link.
	♥ 11:33am StringOFperils: K, I'm going out in the back yard for a bit to sing. Gonna rock this neighbourhood, it's all comin' my way, You don't see it, you don't get it, I don't care, It's all comin' my way...some day.....something along those lines...brb...
	♥ 11:33am happymaan: Thank you @WR, is it normally this showtune heavy?
	♥ 11:34am WR: I came back to the WFMU screen, wanting to comment about my first brush with Sondheim. West Side Story at the local drive inn movie theater.
	♥ 11:34am Webhamster Henry: I saw Sweeney Todd three times in the original staging. And there was a good version done by Cooperstown based Glimmerglass Opera I took the kids to.
	♥ 11:35am happymaan: I love West Side Story, but have no interest in the new movie, do you?
	♥ 11:35am drowsy: @happymaan, keep coming back! @WR, do tell... drivein!!!
	♥ 11:35am Listener Gregory: My internet is dropping out so regularly that I have to drop out as well. I will return from the future to hear the set uninterrupted on the archive. Thanks, Doug! Wonderful show.
	♥ 11:35am WR: @happymaan, Doug's program is as varied as all the drummer stream. Show tunes and musical theater, only show consistently having is Acid Jazz Hands, Friday's at 7PM ET.
	♥ 11:36am happymaan: Thank you @WR.
	♥ 11:37am happymaan: Normally my go to after WFMU is Sheena's, but I saw we had a live DJ here so....here I am.
	♥ 11:37am Listener Gregory: @happymaan, I saw Sondheim on Colbert, and he was very enthusiastic about the Spielberg version of West Side Story. I found that surprising.
	🥁 ♥ 11:37am chresti: Me too, ARB! And ogresses. Haha StringO, sing it!
	♥ 11:37am Webhamster Henry: There's actually dialog between the verses of Bowler Hat, but it sure doesn't need it.
	♥ 11:37am Doug Schulkind: I am dying to see the new staging of Company finally arriving on Broadway. (It was in previews when the pandemic shut things down.) Article in today's New York Times with an interview with Sondheim conducted days before his sudden death last Friday. Sondheim talks about the new version of Company, with the gender-switch. (Bobby is now Bobbie.)
	🥁 ♥ 11:37am Uncle Michael: Please join me for this and that on Hinky Dinky Time at the top of the hour. wfmu.org... HI!
	♥ 11:38am WR: I'm going to check out the new movie, have seen a clip I think. Have low expectation, hope to be surprised.
	♥ 11:38am Doug Schulkind: Uncle Michael bubby!
	♥ 11:38am happymaan: @LG, yeah I've heard nothihng but great things about it, but I just can't care about it being remade. I'll probably watch it when it's streaming. I'm a no trailer guy so I've not seen anything.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39am Jeff Golick: I saw the recent restaging of West Side Story (with new choreography!?), which makes me less intrigued about the new movie version.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39am Uncle Michael: I saw this original Broadway cast. (ALNM)
	♥ 11:40am ARB: Bursting with chat 👋
	♥ 11:40am happymaan: I'll check it out @Uncle Michael but to be honest, I'm a bit weary from that Beatles gif.
	♥ 11:40am Webhamster Henry: My ex played the Countess Charlotte in A Little Night Music in a local production, who has the best laugh lines.
	🥁 ♥ 11:40am Stork: I saw the original version of Pacific Overtures on Bdway in 1976, for I am one The Ancient Ones. And that segue to the Len Cariou was seamless!
	♥ 11:40am Doug Schulkind: Who is directing the new film version of WSS? I just read about it, but I've forgotten.
	🥁 ♥ 11:40am Uncle Michael: shrug
	♥ 11:41am happymaan: We have a friend who grew up in Afghanistan, not seeing many US movies or anything. We showed her Little Shop of Horrors for the first time a few weeks ago, it was so fun! She loved it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:41am Jeff Golick: Spielberg, I think, Doug?
	♥ 11:41am happymaan: Speilberg
	♥ 11:42am happymaan: I'm sure it will be very well done. The access who plays Maria is very good.
	♥ 11:42am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick @happymaan Ah. Right. Yeah, not dying to see it. "That lovely perfection / That nothing can dim"
	♥ 11:42am happymaan: But I've not heard her with an accent or singing yet.
	♥ 11:43am Listener Gregory: I will never come to terms with the simple fact that the squirrels in my yard are not afraid of me.
	🥁 ♥ 11:43am Stork: @Um: FWIW, that Beatles .gif is marvy, say I.
	♥ 11:43am Listener Gregory: (Turned off the sound but still reading comments. They are very interesting while Merzbow is playing.)
	♥ 11:44am prguitar: Great writing on Don Pullen Doug!! You've captured his essence! Thankful to have seen him play in person many times all those years ago!
	♥ 11:44am happymaan: I'm just not much of a Beatles fan in general, and for obvious reasons, they're getting a lot of play now so I'm just kind of over it.
	♥ 11:45am StringOFperils: Sounds fascinating. Just don't expect the new WSS too be the old WSS. There's room to be creative with that property and kind of a built-in necessitiy to look at America through an updated lens, in the process, so you have to rebuild it anyway; and who better to f*** with things, if not Spielberg? ha ha
	♥ 11:45am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory My dog has killed three squirrels in our backyard. Which is unnerving given that we live in Squirrel Hill. @prguitar Thanks! A beloved memory.
	♥ 11:45am happymaan: @gregory I once had a squirrel steal a cupcake while I was napping in a park.
	♥ 11:46am Listener Gregory: Could they not show a modicum of respect and at least run off the deck when I come to the sliding door? Stopping and scratching your hindquarters is simply offensive.
	♥ 11:46am Doug Schulkind: Stork played "Finishing the Hat" on the Stork Club last Sunday. What simple perfection. (The song, but also Stork.)
	♥ 11:47am happymaan: I don't know this song, (finishing the hat) I really like it.
	11:47am Listening Out There: Years back, a work cohort directed me to deadsquirrel.com, after we both had issues with the critters. The site described various vengeful, nasty things to do to troublemaking squirrels. Sadly, the web site is no longer with us...
	♥ 11:49am StringOFperils: Some guy at a party, once, told me I looked like Mandy Patinkin. And I had this feeling he was trying to offend me [That's my Many Patinkin memory.]
	♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind: Yesterday was George Seurat's birthday, BTW.
	♥ 11:49am Webhamster Henry: Ephemeral DJ John Schnall's Dog Gino's 2020 presidential campaign was based on anti-squirrel bias.
	11:50am Andres: Hi, Doug! Thanks for putting together this tribute. I don’t know much Sondheim but stunned myself by picking that out as Mandy Patinkin. All those viewings of Princess Bride maybe?
	♥ 11:50am Doug Schulkind: How absolutely insane is it that while making the cast album for Company and singing his guts out on this song about marriage, Dean Jones was at that very moment going through a horrible horrible divorce.
	♥ 11:50am StringOFperils: The show must go ON
	♥ 11:50am happymaan: Allison Janney has a story where a bartender said "I hate you offend you, but you look like Allison Janney"
	🥁 ♥ 11:51am Stork: @Doug: (blushing emoji)
	♥ 11:51am prguitar: You're welcome Doug! Don Pullen's playing was remarkable.. Unmistakeable after only hearing a few notes!!
	♥ 11:51am happymaan: @Andres, my wife was just saying she didn't know who Mandy Patinkin was, I had to correct her.
	♥ 11:52am Doug Schulkind: @Andres Like Patinkin, my wife was from Chicago. One time in the early '70s, my wife's friend Laura took her along to a performance at the local Jewish Community Center because her cousin, Mandy, was performing. He was very very good.
	11:52am Listening Out There: The Spielberg version of WSS is supposed to have Rita Moreno - Maria in the original - in it, but doing a role originally by a male cast member. Might be worth seeing just for that...
	♥ 11:53am happymaan: I'm from Chicago, one of my mom's friends was a relative of his. My mom brought me to see him live once.
	♥ 11:53am StringOFperils: This is surprisingly enjoyable, the Dean Jones. Great vocal performance.
	🥁 ♥ 11:55am Stork: Wow! I don't know Into the Woods at all! This is just sublime, Doug.
	♥ 11:55am Webhamster Henry: Look for Raul Esparza's and NPH's versions of Bobby!
	♥ 11:55am Doug Schulkind: Hello and howdy, Listening Out There. And just like that. Stephen Sondheim. No more.
	♥ 11:55am Webhamster Henry: This song was cut from the movie version of ITW.
	🥁 ♥ 11:55am doctorjazz: The Dean Jones was quite amazing! Terrific tribute, Doug (just got to the Pullen article you wrote, very fine indeed). Thanks, Doug!
	♥ 11:55am Doug Schulkind: @Webhamster Henry Esparza blows the roof off it.
	♥ 11:57am happymaan: Thanks for a lovely show Doug, I'll keep an eye out for another.
	♥ 11:57am Doug Schulkind: I'm here every Friday, happymaan. Would love to see you back again.
	♥ 11:57am Doug Schulkind: Giant no more.
	♥ 11:58am Webhamster Henry: Thanks -- Till next time, and don't miss Acid Jazz Hands!
	🥁 ♥ 11:58am Stork: Wowzer! Great great great, Dougie!!
	♥ 11:58am StringOFperils: John Lee. Like a shooter after the Sondheim
	♥ 11:59am WR: Thank you Doug. Onward.
	11:59am JtotheK: Enjoyed the show, thanks Doug!
	♥ 11:59am Rich in Washington: Thanks, Doug! Lovely show today!
	🥁 ♥ 12:00pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Doug!
	♥ 12:00pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Doug. A little strident first thing in the morning, but essential. You are a good and knowledgeable teacher.
	♥ 12:00pm StringOFperils: thx!
	♥ 12:01pm prguitar: Thanks for another illuminating show Doug!! Take good care!! Sure we'll cross paths again soon dear friend!
	🥁 ♥ 12:01pm chresti: Thanks Doug!
	🥁 ♥ 12:01pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, Doug!
	♥ 12:01pm Doug Schulkind: @StringOFperils Yeah, that was kind of harsh. Sorries! Thank you all so much for hanging out with me. It's good therapy for me, at least! Can't wait to do it again!
	♥ 12:02pm ARB: Thank you Doug!!
	♥ 12:16pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the great show!
