morning doug,annie and all the rest.

Fri. 1/16/09 9:11am Rob:

Morning all from Durham, North Cakalacky. I'm a long time listener, but this is my first time signing in.

Fri. 1/16/09 9:13am Yaniv:

morning Doug, although it's 16:10 here in Jerusalem...

Anyways, what's the deal with 'Hatikva'? just curious like...

Fri. 1/16/09 9:19am Doug:

G'morning Rob, welcome aboard!

Yaniv, Hatikva is the last song played by a show the broadcasts here in the NYC area only, not on the live audio stream. Occasionally, during the crossover, some of the last bit of Hatikva comes through on the audio stream.

Fri. 1/16/09 9:23am Francois G:

But why are you playing the Hatikva?

Fri. 1/16/09 9:25am JCityJensen:

WOW - I love this Sir Collins! I gotta get me some o'dat!

If you got more please play it - awesome!!!!!

Fri. 1/16/09 9:27am tombom:

he isn't playing the hatikva, it's from the previous radio program (on the normal radio, the ending of which sometimes appears on the internet stream as well) it's a jewish radio program i believe, hence why it's playing it

Fri. 1/16/09 9:28am tombom:

oh and i really love this program it's amazingly awesome

Fri. 1/16/09 9:29am Francois G:

Okay I get it

Fri. 1/16/09 9:30am Lou:

Awesome show as usual

Nice touch

heckuva job schulky

Fri. 1/16/09 9:30am Hugo:

My pleasure entirely, Doug. I knew you'd dig it!

Fri. 1/16/09 9:41am El Thatchmo...:

I'd be happy to have known any of these women (biblically).

Fri. 1/16/09 9:51am St.Even Denver:

good morning!!!! how is everyone on this glorious day???

Fri. 1/16/09 9:58am Cecile:

just poking my head in to say good morning.
Then I'm off to the salt mines...

Fri. 1/16/09 10:00am annie:

morning cecile, i think most of us are watching from the sidelines this am... did you collate?

Fri. 1/16/09 10:16am Cecile:

I collated my heart out and it was good. Salt mines forttunately have WMP, I didn't know! Yay!

Fri. 1/16/09 10:30am Hugo:

For those of you who would like more Isipingo, it can be found here:

http://inconstantsol.blogspot.com/2008/02/harry-millers-isipingo-live-at-100-club.html

The sound quality is pretty rough, but it's an historical recording! A little Isipingo is better than none!

Fri. 1/16/09 10:30am Cecile:

Doug, have you thought about writing a book on South African jazz? Or you and Hugo?

Thank you, Hugo!

Fri. 1/16/09 10:31am Rob:

I need to get a drink of water, but I don't want to miss any of this Harry Miller song.

Fri. 1/16/09 10:32am Carmichael:

Good morning Doug and fellow Woof Moo-ers. Pretty good lookin' 1st set I missed.

Fri. 1/16/09 10:39am Hugo:

Here are a couple:

Chris McGregor and the Brotherhood of Breath: My Life With a South African Jazz Pioneer (Paperback)
by Maxine McGregor (Author)

SOWETO BLUES: Jazz, Popular Music & Politics in South Africa (Paperback) by Gwen Ansell (Author)

The first one is out of print, so may take a little while to find; the second one is easy to get hold of.

Fri. 1/16/09 10:41am Cecile:

thanks again, Hugo.
Feel free to write one, though, if the mood strikes. ;)

Fri. 1/16/09 10:41am annie:

soug if we sent you our email last week is it still in the system or shall we resend??

Fri. 1/16/09 10:42am annie:

soug already saw that memo, this memo is for you doug..

Fri. 1/16/09 10:42am Carmichael:

Hugo, you're not the Hugo from Argentina, are you? Do I have my Hugos confused??

Fri. 1/16/09 10:44am Duncan:

where is this interiew from? the Blue Notes box set?

Fri. 1/16/09 10:44am Hugo:

Nope, I'm the Hugo from Bergen, Norway ...

Fri. 1/16/09 10:46am Doug:

Annie, no need to resend. I will be sending out the first email this weekend!

I enthusiastically recommend seeking out a copy of Maxine McGregor's book (as mentioned by Hugo, above). An intimate, insider's story of the South African jazz scene, first in SA, then in London after the Blue Notes hit Europe. Absolutely essential.

Fri. 1/16/09 10:47am Carmichael:

Wow Hugo, I was off by an entire hemisphere! Nice to meet you anyway.

Fri. 1/16/09 10:48am Cecile:

Carm, this hugo is the famed "listener Hugo" who always finds these amazing downloads.

Fri. 1/16/09 10:50am Duncan:

Not sure whether you guys have seen this before
http://tonymcgregor.wordpress.com/
Chris McGregor's brother Tony, there are several articles about Chris, the Blue Notes and the BoB.

Fri. 1/16/09 10:50am Carmichael:

Got it, thanks! In another of my cyber-lives, I talk with a Hugo from Argentina, who is a prog rock Cray Supercomputer of knowledge.

I find this to be a phenomenon, these music lover brainiacs named Hugo.

Fri. 1/16/09 10:52am Hugo:

Carmichael, I'm sure there are many Hugos in Argentina, (and in other Spanish-speaking countries, too). Oh, and I'm not the President of Venezuela.

Fri. 1/16/09 10:55am Cecile:

and you probably didn't play in the first incarnation of Nick Cave's Bad Seeds, either, huh?

Fri. 1/16/09 10:57am Carmichael:

As a fan of both Bebop and SA groups like Johnny Clegg and Savuka, I find this music a wonderful hybrid (although it was not intended that way). Zulu jazz guitar ....

Fri. 1/16/09 11:00am Mark Lamb:

Doug - Thanks for playing the Blue Notes related material! I was not aware of the McGregor book and will check it out...

Fri. 1/16/09 11:01am Carmichael:

Great talkover music ...

Fri. 1/16/09 11:04am Hugo:

Cecile, nope, I'm not Hugo Race ...

Fri. 1/16/09 11:05am Cecile:

I kinda figured that.

Fri. 1/16/09 11:09am thankful jones:

perfect music for a friday morning here in the southwest

Fri. 1/16/09 11:14am still b/p:

Klaatu barada yeehah!

Fri. 1/16/09 11:22am Ike:

Could there be a better C&W song title than "Flying Saucer Mama"?

Wow, I'm glad my salt mines now have Foobar2000. If you click the correct buttons on install, you don't even need admin rights to put Foobar on a computer. Windows Media can slink off into a grimy corner and die.

Fri. 1/16/09 11:24am annie:

ike, is that a new toy? do tell

Fri. 1/16/09 11:27am Ike:

No, it's old. But many office workers with locked-down computers are usually hanging around here, and don't know that they can free themselves from the hideous sound quality of the Windows Media stream, so I mention it often.

Fri. 1/16/09 11:33am Cecile:

it's lousy, but it works.
I will look for Foobar, though

Fri. 1/16/09 11:35am Chris:

Odell lifted that song right up to heaven yeah.

Fri. 1/16/09 11:45am Sean Daily:

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Fri. 1/16/09 11:46am texas scott:
