Blessed good morning to all y'all. I brought some Ornette with me today--and I didn't even realize it was his birthday.

[there are NO coincidences]

You radiate light and enthusiasm and it is inspiring and sustaining.

Everyone, put your hand on your radio and pray with me now...

Fri. 3/19/10 9:30am fred:

Is it really Ornette's birthday? I was at a Joe McPhee show three days ago and he said it was last week.

Fri. 3/19/10 9:33am annie:

fred, daily bleed proclaims so..

Fri. 3/19/10 9:34am dale:

morning mr. drummer. ornette's bday was the 9th (wkcr did a nice day of him and bix). today is moms mabley's bday though, so you can throw some of her in the mix.

Fri. 3/19/10 9:37am Drummer Some:

Like I said, I didn't even know it was Ornette's birthday. (Of course, I didn't know it WASN'T his birthday either.) I still happened to have brought some OC with me today. Hah!

Happy birthday to all!

Fri. 3/19/10 9:40am annie:

Fri. 3/19/10 10:19am Corey:

I got to carry Larry Collins first Doublneck guitar from California to Oklahoma in a State van. He is a great guy. It's now on exhibit here at the Oklahoma History Center.

Fri. 3/19/10 10:30am Drummer Some:

Dale,
Haven't peeped any Thumbs Carlisle. Yet.

Fri. 3/19/10 10:32am Bob:

Apparently things are pretty funky in Thailand right now.

Fri. 3/19/10 10:33am J-Mar:

just tuning in. how bummed am I that I missed some vintage Tanya Tucker?

btw, Larry Collins was co-writer on her first hit, "Delta Dawn."

Fri. 3/19/10 10:37am kcp:

Fri. 3/19/10 10:39am brock:

hi Doug,hi all, loving the unexpectedness of it all

Fri. 3/19/10 10:44am David:

I'm looking forward to drinking mint juleps now that the weather is warm. I'm also looking forward to the Give The Drummer Some premium in the mail. HURRY UP!!!!

Fri. 3/19/10 10:47am Drummer Some:

David,
WFMU's team of trained hermit crabs are furiously burning marathon premium discs as we speak. You think I'm kidding, don't you.

Fri. 3/19/10 10:51am Carmichael:

Skittly whee bop Doug, and all you kooky jazz cats. Today's payday for me, in more ways than one.

Fri. 3/19/10 10:54am Drummer Some:

Hey all,
That Ornette, promised earlier? Next!

Fri. 3/19/10 11:00am Cecile:

DOUGNUTS. That was my theme for the jazz show I did so many years ago. Me and my cohost would have doughnuts and beer about once a month. We were nuts.

Drummer, I like to think of them as sassy Puerto Rican land crabs...

Fri. 3/19/10 11:04am Drummer Some:

Cecile,
I know "hermit" is considered "offensive," but old habits die hard.

Fri. 3/19/10 11:06am Cecile:

I am a proud hermit. I just saw a doc on Puerto Rican food and the blue land crabs there, and I admired their moxy. The host and interviewee took one out of a cage with tongs, and the crab grabbed a pair of tongs from the host and started bashing him with it.!

Fri. 3/19/10 11:07am Cecile:

that's a crab role model worthy of WFMU.

Fri. 3/19/10 11:08am Drummer Some:

I'd like to think the average FMU deejay is like a crab with moxy, grabbing the radio station and bashing you with it.

Fri. 3/19/10 11:09am Cecile:

That's right! That's exactly right!

Fri. 3/19/10 11:14am Cecile:

Paul Flaherty! He was a sweetheart. I wrote up a calendar item for him and I think Chris Corsano and he made a point of coming up and saying thank you. I'm kind of shy, so it was awkward, but I still thought that was so cool.

Fri. 3/19/10 11:37am north guinea hills:

Hello WFMU'ers. Have a happy Friday!

Fri. 3/19/10 11:39am annie:

Fri. 3/19/10 11:42am Cecile:

Fri. 3/19/10 11:49am Postman:
