Morning Doug, we going Hawaiian today?

Fri. 8/21/09 9:07am From: PMD

I feel the breeze blowing through the palm trees.

Fri. 8/21/09 9:07am From: annie

crap, i have to walk the dog... bummer. i'm missing great music.. please save iz for later?

Fri. 8/21/09 9:09am From: Drummer Some

Morning y'all. Fear not, Annie, there'll be musical leis offered throughout the show!

Fri. 8/21/09 9:10am From: Paul Sherratt

Just remembered Doug, I owe you a copy of our Felix Mendelssohn & His Hawaiian Serenaders - unless I've forgotten that I've already sent it over !

Fri. 8/21/09 9:13am From: Drummer Some

Don't have King Felix YET Paul, but you've got 50 years to get it to me in time for the 100th anniv.

Fri. 8/21/09 9:16am From: Parq

Gee, only 9:15 AM and we've already gotten lei'd! Doug, have you been on the case at FMU long enough to remember the female DJ from the 80s who specialized in Hawaiian music?

Fri. 8/21/09 9:18am From: annie

cutting the walk short, yay!! i've got my muumuu on and i'm ready!

Fri. 8/21/09 9:27am From: Drummer Some

Parq,
Was it Margaret who played Hawaiian stuff? (She was the DJ who played the sound of loons as a music bed all the time.)

Fri. 8/21/09 9:33am From: Paul Sherratt

annie,
Mine's shrunk
http://healthhabits.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/homer_muumuu.jpg

Fri. 8/21/09 9:35am From: monica

Hey, Doug! i'm schvitzing over here but "A Wee Doech an Doris " was a great sonic cooler.Great to have you back...

Fri. 8/21/09 9:40am From: Paul Sherratt

Monica,
Over where ?

Fri. 8/21/09 9:41am From: Parq

"Monica Schvitzing" = GNFAB. Just sayin'.

Fri. 8/21/09 9:42am From: annie

funny paul, thanks!! mine wouldn't fit me at this point i got it when i was 6.. lots hawaiian that year!

Fri. 8/21/09 9:44am From: Drummer Some

I once dated a girl named Monica Schvitzing in high school!

Fri. 8/21/09 9:46am From: monica

hi paul, parq et al! schvitzing in the belly of the beast - maadhattan. where the air quality is poor but the spirits are high (thanks to the drummer. parq, what the hell is GNFAB??? somethin' about the goyim or somethin? doug, i think you're making that story up, btw...

Fri. 8/21/09 9:49am From: Drummer Some

Mo,
Actually Monica schvitzing nearly took down the White House. But that's another story.

Fri. 8/21/09 9:50am From: Listener Dave from NH

I had to Google it too - it stands for "great name for a band" (and there's a website at http://www.gnfab.com )
Bananas.

Fri. 8/21/09 9:54am From: monica

Oy latte! Thanks, Dave. Hey Doug, you're killin' me over here.

Fri. 8/21/09 9:56am From: Cecile

Hi/bye all. Gotta meeting. Yay me.
Have a great morning!

Fri. 8/21/09 9:56am From: dc pat

wow, Old Time Relijun borrowed this bass line (Marco di Marco Trio) in one of their vampire tunes... in case anyone cares...

Fri. 8/21/09 9:57am From: north guinea hills

w00t! WV! (native West Virginian)

Fri. 8/21/09 10:06am From: Paul Sherratt

And do you have anyone in The Senate who resembles Lightnin' Hopkins ? !

Fri. 8/21/09 10:07am From: Parq

My turn to be out with the dogs. Sorry for the confusion -- "GNFAB" has been comment-field-speak for a while now. I actually picked it up from another of the regulars. Monica, is Manhattan in mid-August a drag or what?

Fri. 8/21/09 10:13am From: Hugo

Hi y'all! Listening in from the new office in town, on the outskirts of the university area - half-way attached to the law faculty. Ten minute-walk from home! Howzat?

Fri. 8/21/09 10:13am From: gumby

Doug you are kickin' some audio-A today. ALOHA!!!!

Fri. 8/21/09 10:19am From: gumby

Paul we got no "How, How, How" in the Senate. We got what Sonny Boy Williamson refers to as, "A whole lotsa peoples talkin', but nobody gots nothin' to say"

Fri. 8/21/09 10:21am From: Drummer Some

Hey Hugo,
I just read that, according to some hi-falutin' survey, Oslo is the world's most expensive city. NYC came in at #6. (I wonder where Bergen falls on the list?)

Fri. 8/21/09 10:21am From: monica

parq- worse than the coldest cold spell for sure. right?

Fri. 8/21/09 10:23am From: Carmichael

Good Friday Morning, everyone.

Fri. 8/21/09 10:30am From: gumby

monica & parq,
I love this weather in suburbia. Road kill disappears in like a week. And the stench of garbage should remind everyone to not consume & throw out so much.

Fri. 8/21/09 10:30am From: Hugo

Doug, it all depends on the methodology - what is being measured and how the indexes are constructed. On this one, Oslo is 14, though it's higher on other surveys. NYC is 8, btw. Bergen would be lower, at least on account of real estate prices, but otherwise comparable.

http://www.citymayors.com/features/cost_survey.html

Fri. 8/21/09 10:31am From: dc pat

I agree with that monica. Remember this folks when we're deep into winter and everyone's complaining about that. I'll take fierce cold over disgusting heat any day.

Fri. 8/21/09 10:33am From: Parq

Hugo, I live a ten minute walk from work too. Ain't it great? Monica and other weather-commenters, August and February suck perfectly equally in my book. Give me May and October - or at least, the way May and October used to be.

Fri. 8/21/09 10:35am From: Hugo

On another survey, Luanda, the capital of Angola, comes out on top! Related to being an oil exporter, I would think ...

Fri. 8/21/09 10:36am From: Hugo

Parq, it sure is!

Fri. 8/21/09 10:36am From: David Johanson

"Hot, Hot, Hot!!!"

Fri. 8/21/09 10:36am From: Carmichael

Ten minute walk?!? I live in suburbia, where I have to drive to get anywhere. The good part is it's a ten minute DRIVE to work with no freeway. Beats my previous 45 minute freeway crawl to a crappy job in another city.

Fri. 8/21/09 10:37am From: gumby

Is it time fo rMai Tai's yet????

Fri. 8/21/09 10:39am From: Drummer Some

Hey!! Who spiked the guava juice?!

Fri. 8/21/09 10:39am From: jk

love this song, I can never get it out of my head, I'm wearing down a pair of shoes. thanks doug!

Fri. 8/21/09 10:43am From: J-Mar

Got any Herbie Remington, Mr. Drummer Some?

Fri. 8/21/09 10:43am From: Parq

German Hawaiian cowboys -- Doug, you're a genius.

Fri. 8/21/09 10:44am From: Hugo

Nice selection. Laura Cantrell did a FMU premium of Hawaiian songs some years back, a fine thing to have ...

Fri. 8/21/09 10:44am From: Drummer Some

J-Mar
Ach! I left my Herbie Remington at home. Couldn't fit it ALL in.

Fri. 8/21/09 10:48am From: Ronan in Dublin

Oh this is great. I want to get melacholic and drunk and shuffle around alone in a crowded room but it's ths middle of the afternoon here so I'll have to wait til nightfall.

Fri. 8/21/09 10:48am From: Paul Sherratt

Parq,
I think they may be Dutch !
" Es Hängt Ein Pferdehalfter an der Wand " and I bet he said that to all the girls / boys ..

Fri. 8/21/09 10:49am From: J-Mar

No worries. If it's steel guitar, I'm digging it.

Fri. 8/21/09 10:49am From: gumby

Actually the Hawaiians are pretty proud of their cowboy culture. It seems some native Hawaiians went to a rodeo in the 1800's and kicked some but and won some competitions. I guess it was sort of one of those Jim Thorpe type things. "We can compete and win on your playing field."

Fri. 8/21/09 10:51am From: dc pat

what could be better than German Hawaiian cowboy music??

Fri. 8/21/09 10:52am From: Pedantic Drummer

I think that might be "koko ni sachi ARE", Doug. As it is, it reads "there is a happy ant".

Fri. 8/21/09 10:52am From: Hugo

Speaking of Laura, just received her new cd, won during the marathon on the DS show. Thank U! Shall be savoured!

Fri. 8/21/09 10:56am From: annie

drum some: i have been blissfully meandering in and out of musical joy this fine rainy morning. thanks...

Fri. 8/21/09 10:57am From: Paul Sherratt

I think Doug's got it got right, Pedantic, turn this over and check !

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51G0rUgP4PL._SL500_AA280_.jpg

Fri. 8/21/09 10:57am From: boku sachi

great hawaiian music, btw

Fri. 8/21/09 10:59am From: boku sachi

@ Paul, maybe, but "koko ni sachi are" means "that's where happiness is", which sounds like a song about hawaii.

Fri. 8/21/09 11:00am From: annie

http://incaroads-wvkayaker.blogspot.com/

scroll down the page of this site and drool... i say drool... all that music!!!

Fri. 8/21/09 11:01am From: gumby

A comment on the sumemr is better than the other three seasons thing. In summer I get Jersey tomatoes and basil with fresh mozzerella, maybe the greatest food ever!

Fri. 8/21/09 11:01am From: MIKE cooper

Hi Doug - Cyril wrote this song on the train going to the studio the day we recorded it. I am in fact singing in French - a fact i only learnt after we had done it - the title Nale Pa La Hula - is in fact French for 'This is not the hula". Cyril is playing the guitar not me on this one. Ciao for now and Aloha

Fri. 8/21/09 11:05am From: Drummer Some

Brother Cooper,
"This is not the hula," then, was the perfect selection for that last set (and I don't speak French neither). Thanks for the clarification -- and the music.

Fri. 8/21/09 11:09am From: annie

any pierre bensusan, this is reminding me of him..

Fri. 8/21/09 11:13am From: Paul Sherratt

boku,

Thanks. And I rather like the idea of " there is a happy ant " ! And I do like this Marc Brierley too - we never get to hear folk music as fine as this coming out of our our UK radio sets ...

Fri. 8/21/09 11:15am From: Carmichael

Love the folk, Doug. The 70s rule!

Fri. 8/21/09 11:16am From: annie

carm, that was the best time.. those summers and that great music..

Fri. 8/21/09 11:18am From: Hugo

That's not Mangelsdorff singing?

Fri. 8/21/09 11:19am From: Carmichael

Annie, I came of age in San Francisco in the very late 60s - early 70s. I have amazing memories that I tell over several beers.

Fri. 8/21/09 11:20am From: Drummer Some

@Hugo
The singers w/Mangelsdorff are Colin Wilkie and Shirley Hart. (I knew your ears would prick up on this one.)

Fri. 8/21/09 11:22am From: Parq

Doug, that long brass solo (was it a 'bone?) reminds me; I've spent some time with your premium this week and I totally dig it. I was expecting something more along the lines of western brass-based jazz, and having so much marching-band-style stuff instead was a great treat.

Fri. 8/21/09 11:24am From: Drummer Some

@Parq yup, bone it was. So glad you dug the premium!

Fri. 8/21/09 11:26am From: El Thatchmo...

What a little hipster you've become, Doug, playing Vetiver. Next up: Juana Molina!

Fri. 8/21/09 11:29am From: Hugo

If it has the Schäl Sick Brass Band, it's gotta be alright. But it probably does not have the Nepal Police Academy Brass Band ...

Fri. 8/21/09 11:32am From: Drummer Some

@Thatch I am hipper and hipper
@ Hugo Bring my back an autographed copy! (You always do when you go to Nepal.)

Fri. 8/21/09 11:38am From: mike cooper

Doug = the Mangelsdorf was brilliant - never heard that before - Colin Wilkie and Shirley Hart were British - they deserted the motherland early on and went to live in Germany - still do probably.

Fri. 8/21/09 11:38am From: annie

carm, a very close friend of mine attempted to immerse himself in the beat poet thing there, specializing in gutter sleeping and drinking.. he is still a poet..

Fri. 8/21/09 11:42am From: Carmichael

@Annie - You could do that back then. North Beach was a cool place to hang out. I just went back to the Haight while on vacation. Some things never change ...
@Hugo - You go to Nepal? I'm very jealous. That's been one of my life dreams. I will go someday.

Fri. 8/21/09 11:43am From: Hugo

Ah yes, that was a nice guy. We went to see Trilok Gurtu playing at the Kathmandu Jazz Festival!

Fri. 8/21/09 11:44am From: annie

i was there in late 70s. ... oh god i love this music.. stops me in my tracks..

Fri. 8/21/09 11:44am From: mike cooper

Colin Wilkie - http://www.colinwilkie.de/

Its all in German - probably means' this is not the hula either' in german :-)))

Fri. 8/21/09 11:46am From: Paul Sherratt

Carmichael,
Hugo works in Nepal ! A ten minute + drive from Bergen, Norway

Fri. 8/21/09 11:47am From: Hugo

Yes, Carmichael, regularly over the last years. But I usually go to the least touristic areas - the terai - the plains of the south bordering India ...

Fri. 8/21/09 11:47am From: Parq

John Narucki once commented that Hawaiian-style singing "always sounds like someone's nuts being grabbed". Oh man, what a great loss his passing was!

Fri. 8/21/09 11:49am From: Hugo

Paul, can I borrow your car?

Fri. 8/21/09 11:51am From: Drummer Some

@Cooper Thanks for the correction on Wilkie & Hart. I can always be counted on the spread the misinformation I stumble on in Blogland (not to mention all my own homegrown miscues and misrememberings.) It is a huge pleasure to have you listening and offering knowledge.

Fri. 8/21/09 11:52am From: Carmichael

Doug, what inspired you to go Hawaiian this morning?

Fri. 8/21/09 11:52am From: Paul Sherratt

Hugo,
The car, it's Swedish. Is that ok ?

Fri. 8/21/09 11:53am From: annie

50 years a state carm.

Fri. 8/21/09 11:55am From: Drummer Some

@Carmichael I still feel bad about missing Alaska's 49th B-Day party

Mon. 8/24/09 11:58am From: El Thatchmo ...

My only saddness is the exclusion of Kalama’s Quartet in today's show.
Oh, the islands ...

Mon. 8/24/09 2:35pm From: El Thatchmo ...

And Glad the Vetiver is making the rounds here. That's what I buy my wife when I'm flush. Have a counter girl @ Bendel's names Olive Cox-o-Luxe

Thu. 9/3/09 7:32am From: Michael Cover

Great stuff as usual .The Hawaiian bent was an absolute treat .Thanks from Brighton UK

Thu. 10/29/09 9:52pm From: johnny kyzer
