Listener comments!
	🥁 ♥ 8:55am Brian in UK: Can Doug reach his total before the overall station goal? Let us make it Yes.
	8:58am Chris Albertyn: greetings good people - I'm looking very much forward to this one today
	♥ 8:58am Doug Schulkind: I like the way you think, Brian in UK.
	♥ 8:59am Webhamster Henry: Hi Doug -- nice intro! With Chris, the monthly South African music Santa Claus.
	♥ 8:59am Doug Schulkind: Hardly a second of this program would be possible without you, Chris Albertyn.
	🥁 ♥ 8:59am Brian in UK: Do not know much about Kippie but it seems like a sad life. Larry's show last night featured Tim Hardin, different style but same ending.
	8:59am listener james from westwood: Happy Friday, Doug, Chris, and all!
	♥ 8:59am Doug Schulkind: Webhamster Henry has burrowed his way in!

	🥁 ♥ 9:01am Brian in UK: Hello Chris, been glued to the cricket Twenty20 World Cup.
	9:01am Chris Albertyn: Harry, Henry Hooray anyway, sorry ... Andrew in Toronoto ...James from Westwood - I'll catch up with you all in a little while ... not all doom and gloom, Brian in the UK ... much beauty abounds
	♥ 9:02am Doug Schulkind: Welcome welcome welcome, listener james from westwood!
	♥ 9:02am Webhamster Henry: Nobody here has figured out they can call me "Whenry".
	9:03am Chris Albertyn: WHenry, sorry to say I don't think we'' be having any autoharps today
	9:04am Irene: Hey hey Doug and Drummers all! Hope I can listen for a bit this morning.
	🥁 ♥ 9:04am PAULS: some people
	♥ 9:05am Webhamster Henry: I've found precious few recordings of autoharps in the whole continent of Africa. Yet there should be, I'd think, since they are light-weight substitutes for pianos. I guess if you have a kora, you're well past that kind of music.
	9:06am Chris Albertyn: Whenry, I will be happy to dig up a segment of South African autoharps just for you ... one of these days
	9:07am Gina Bacon: TGIF, Doug & Chris & all!
	♥ 9:08am Webhamster Henry: If I get a show - "Autoharp Alert!" - I'll keep it in mind. I've actually been thinking of doing an autoharp podcast at some point.
	♥ 9:08am Doug Schulkind: I'm happy you're here Irene! Greetings, PAULS! Hooray hooray, Gina Bacon!
	9:08am Chris Albertyn: Hi Gina, Irene, Pauls ... Whenry I'll alert the e-mailman when it happens :-)

	♥ 9:13am Doug Schulkind: @Listening Out There Oh good, we still got some doughnuts left. Over there, by the punchbowl.
	♥ 9:15am Doug Schulkind: I forgot the green stuff on the playlist. Was feeling a bit...naked.
	9:15am Chris Albertyn: well, I was begining to think it was the punch Doug
	♥ 9:16am Doug Schulkind: Can't it be both, Chris?
	♥ 9:18am Doug Schulkind: Kippie on the licorice stick.
	9:18am Chris Albertyn: Indeed, it shall be Doug ... after all, it is late afternoon here in soon-to-be rainy, but warm Durban
	♥ 9:19am Doug Schulkind: It is currently nippy and pouring here in Pittsburgh, but gloriously sun-warmed in my musical heart.
	🥁 ♥ 9:20am dutchtheo: Yippee for Kippie! Doug!, Chris!, drummers!
	9:20am Listener Robert: One of those pieces I've been hearing forever but never knew its name -- or even that it had one!
	♥ 9:21am redkayak: Happy Friday all! Glad I'm in the office on this rainy Chicago day :)

	🥁 ♥ 9:25am dutchtheo: Indian summerish over here 19C / 66F!
	♥ 9:26am redkayak: @Doug @Chris - In safe harbor, anyway! :D
	♥ 9:26am Doug Schulkind: That works for me, Captain Chris.
	♥ 9:29am Listener Gregory: Away from my computer now, but I'm listening from the Land of Lurkville. Learning a lot!

	9:39am prudy: Good morning all...loving the show, Doug, thank you...looking forward to hearing from Chris..
	♥ 9:40am Doug Schulkind: Along with Kippie, Masekela and Gwangwa would join Dollar Brand, Johnny Gertze and Mayaka Ntshoko to form the Jazz Epistles. We'll hear them next. Hi and howdy, prudy!
	♥ 9:40am Doug Schulkind: And now Kippie's solo.
	9:40am Chris Albertyn: hiya Prudy, thanks for tuning in
	♥ 9:46am Listener Gregory: Beautiful rendition of Angel Eyes. It really captures the song's spookiness. And not shortened for radio play or the like.
	♥ 9:46am Listener Gregory: Back to Lurkville for the moment.
	♥ 9:47am Doug Schulkind: "Blues for Hughie," composed by Kippie Moeketsi.
	🥁 ♥ 9:47am doctorjazz: Been a Dollar Brand/Abdullah Ibrahim obsessive for ages, this is terrific!
	♥ 9:48am Doug Schulkind: You will hear more brilliant collaborations with Kippie and Dollar Brand/Abdullah Ibrahim coming up.
	9:48am Chris Albertyn: greetingsl doctorjazz, I may have something for you
	♥ 9:49am Franco Twinkie: I concur Gregory. Angle Eyes feels so right as the sun is coming up.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50am doctorjazz: Hi, Chris, can't wait!
	♥ 9:50am Doug Schulkind: This LP, Jazz Epistle, Verse 1, should be in the collection of every jazz fan. Of every sentient being, actually.
	♥ 9:50am Doug Schulkind: Glad you are arising and shining with me, Franco Twinkie!
	🥁 ♥ 9:50am chresti: Morning Doug and drummers!
	🥁 ♥ 9:51am chresti: Morning Chris!
	♥ 9:51am Doug Schulkind: Top o' the morning, chresti!
	9:52am Chris Albertyn: Hiya Chresti!!
	♥ 9:52am Franco Twinkie: Even before the coffee is ready, we turn you on Doug.
	♥ 9:52am Doug Schulkind: Copious information, plus the complete liner notes to this Gideon Nxumalo record: www.flatinternational.org...
	♥ 9:53am Doug Schulkind: You definitely turn me on, Franco Twinkie.
	♥ 9:53am Franco Twinkie: Aw shucks.
	🥁 ♥ 9:53am PAULS: This is my favorite one so far.
	♥ 9:54am Doug Schulkind: Gideon Nxumalo describes this song thusly... "ISINTU can loosely be translated as meaning Humanity of Humaneness. This was especially written for Kippie Moeketsi. Here, once again, I tried to use typical African (Township) chord sequences. If you'll notice, the melody on the saxophone is purely pentatonic apart, of course, from the occasional grace notes Kippie throws in. While the melody is a ballad, I've tried to employ off-beat rhythms in the D section on the piano. This, I believe, is the vogue nowadays... a desire to get away from the regular 4/4 beat."
	🥁 ♥ 9:55am doctorjazz: Man...
	🥁 ♥ 9:58am sinner: I have been looking forward to this show all week. Bests to the Drummer & Mr. Albertyn.
	10:00am Chris Albertyn: greetings sinner, you are not alone on that one
	♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind: @Chris Albertyn Is there a click in the pronunciation of "Nxumalo"?
	🥁 ♥ 10:00am βrian: I see Doug has stepped on the exhilarator. Woo wee!
	10:01am Chris Albertyn: @Doug, yes indeed, their is a click. I was talking to his daughter recently and she told me, much to my surprise that Gideon came from the northern Cape and did not speak isiZulu
	♥ 10:01am Doug Schulkind: Your presence is sanctified, sinner! High stepping all the way, βrian!
	♥ 10:03am alanr: Amen!
	🥁 ♥ 10:04am doctorjazz: matsulimusic.bandcamp.com... Gideon Nxumalo, vinyl or digital download!
	10:04am Chris Albertyn: you got it on the last try Doug!
	🥁 ♥ 10:04am βrian: Is the bilabial fibrillation a feature of Xhosa, as well?
	10:07am Irene: So many great Kippie selections this morning Doug! Chris, looking forward to your local perspective on his music.
	10:08am prudy: thanks so much for giving the historical context Chris...
	10:09am listener james from westwood: Bloody amazing first hour and tingling for Chris's contributions!
	🥁 ♥ 10:09am Jeff Golick: This is great radio. Howdy.
	10:11am Chris Albertyn: Ian Bruce Huntley is alive and well and 82 years young
	♥ 10:11am StringOFperils: Good morning, Doug and Chris. Just in time for a great story.
	♥ 10:12am WR: So we are getting Moeketsi adoration part 1, 2 & 3 today? Yay! Thank WFMU for the archive, popping in now during work break.
	10:13am Chris Albertyn: This is recorded by Ian Bruce Huntley on a portable Tandberg 6 reel to reel recorrder - with two microphones (with permission of the artists)
	10:13am Chris Albertyn: This first saxophone is Danayi Dlova
	♥ 10:14am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Doug and drummer corpse! 💀
	10:15am Chris Albertyn: Welcome Ken from Hyde Park ... And here comes Kippie
	♥ 10:15am Doug Schulkind: Greetings, Ken From Hyde Park! So happy to see that little snare drum badge. THANK YOU!
	🥁 ♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: Chris, an ironic title?
	🥁 ♥ 10:16am doctorjazz: Not a bad sounding recording...sounds mono, despite the 2 mics, but all players come through very nicely!
	10:16am Chris Albertyn: @Brian, indeed - referring to the requirement of black msicians to use the scullery department as their "dressing room"
	10:18am Chris Albertyn: Kippie, after seven years away
	♥ 10:23am Doug Schulkind: A further explanation behind the title "Scullery Department": A theme by Moeketsi and is “about” the treatment of the band by a white club owner. The incident is described in Peter Esterhuysen's book Kippie Moeketsi Sad Man of Jazz (Viva Books, 1995): 'One evening the Jazz Espistles were playing in a Johannesburg nightclub. When they took a break the owner led them to the kitchen. He gave the musicians a meal. Then he went back inside his club. While the Epistles were eating, Kippie became very cross. He said, 'By right, you know Dollar, this is all nonsense – this idea of us being taken into the kitchen when there's a break. Are we 'kitchen boys'? Aren't we here to entertain the people?' 'Ja ou pellie,' Dollar answered, 'ons kom nou en dan by die kombuis ... the scullery department.' Kippie started to make up a new song right there in the kitchen. He called his new song 'Scullery Department.'”
	🥁 ♥ 10:24am doctorjazz: Old Folks is how I know this.
	♥ 10:25am redkayak: @Doug - Wow.....that's a story there.....
	10:25am Chris Albertyn: Thanks Doug! .. to translate Dollar's response to Kippie: Yes old pal, we find ourselves occassionally in the kitchen
	♥ 10:26am Doug Schulkind: I would dearly love love love to get some pledges during this my final show of WFMU's October Hellraiser fundraiser. We're all volunteers here at Give the Drummer Radio. We do this purely for the love. And the music. My program has done well so far (thanks to one spectacularly large pledge), but I would really like to get closer to or exceed my goal. Please make a pledge: pledge.wfmu.org... Thanks!
	10:27am Chris Albertyn: Nowhhere is the guitarist credited - I belive it is Dollar Brand himself
	🥁 ♥ 10:28am doctorjazz: Really??? Never thought of Brand as a guitarist (does he play it anywhere else?)
	♥ 10:28am Listener Gregory: "Old People" = Old Folks This is a strange song and even stranger to be played by South African musicians.
	♥ 10:29am Listener Gregory: Oops, I see @doctorj preceded me in identifying the song. I should have known! Exiled from Lurkville, btw, so back in Commentown.
	🥁 ♥ 10:29am βrian: Those slinky brushes!
	10:29am Chris Albertyn: Listener Gregory - you are correct, penned in 1932 ... it turns up on Dollar's repertoire to showcase Kippie
	🥁 ♥ 10:31am Brian in UK: These pieces are so tender.
	🥁 ♥ 10:31am doctorjazz: These albums are a bitch to find...Tracked down Jazz Epistle Verse 1 for a not exorbitant sum, Dollar Brand + 3, still looking...
	10:31am Chris Albertyn: @Brian Nelson Magwaza on the slinky brushes .
	10:32am Chris Albertyn: @doctorjazz, I'm looking for one with slightly fewer pops ...
	♥ 10:34am Doug Schulkind: @Chris Albertyn No doubt the "copy" own has all the same pops. (Thanks to you.)
	10:34am Chris Albertyn: Victor Ntoni sawing his upright bass
	10:34am prudy: really beautiful piece...
	♥ 10:35am Doug Schulkind: THAAAAAANK to whoever just pledged. We DJs can't see who is pledging, so just a blanket heartfelt thank you.
	🥁 ♥ 10:36am doctorjazz: Ahhh, just LOVE those Brand tremolos-don't know any other pianist who does it quite like this.
	♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind: This tune may just be the top of Moeketsi Mountain. The opening anthem brings me to my knees.
	♥ 10:37am Listener Gregory: Ditto
	♥ 10:38am redkayak: Thanks for the music @Chris @Doug. I had never heard of this man before today. A truly memorable Friday :) Gotta run.....the trees are calling ;)
	🥁 ♥ 10:38am Jeff Golick: Gah.
	♥ 10:38am StringOFperils: It's the sound of all that is good in the heart of humanity.
	10:38am Chris Albertyn: paddle safe redkayak
	♥ 10:39am Doug Schulkind: So long redkayak. Until the next memorable Friday!
	🥁 ♥ 10:40am Jeff Golick: @Chris, was this recorded in '75?
	♥ 10:40am Doug Schulkind: Hello here, Jeff Golick! Hello there, StringOFperils!
	10:42am prudy: really fascinating connection there...
	10:43am Chris Albertyn: @Jeff - it was recorded late 1972 and published in 1973
	🥁 ♥ 10:43am doctorjazz: My Abdullah Ibrahim story (I've posted this before, apologies to those who've seen it). Took my wife on our first date to see Abdullah Ibrahim with Ekaya at Sweet Basil. We got there a bit late, last seats were in the front row. Had the trombone (I think it was Dick Griffin) slide whizzing over our heads. Amazingly, she stayed with me.
	10:44am Irene: Bra Joe From Kilimanjaro! One of my favorite Abdullah Ibrahim tunes.
	10:44am Chris Albertyn: great story doctorjazz
	♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick I am typing the playlist. Thus typos. Thanks for catching that.
	🥁 ♥ 10:45am doctorjazz: Ibrahim usually went into an unaccompanied piano solo at his concerts, and this particular vamp was often what he went to. I managed to catch Ibrahim live quite a few times, up until the last tour with a reformed Ekaya maybe 3 years ago.
	🥁 ♥ 10:45am Jeff Golick: Being a pedantic jerk comes easy to me, @Doug.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46am Jeff Golick: Also, in my mind '75 is about when Dollar Brand morphs into Abdullah Ibrahim...?
	♥ 10:47am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick I was a editor/copyeditor for 25 years. Calling out others' on their errors is my sweetspot.
	🥁 ♥ 10:47am βrian: When I saw him in the early 80s, he was billed as the "former Dollar Brand."
	♥ 10:47am Listener Gregory: @Jeff, I was a pedantic jerk too. The good news is that as I got older I found that I lost the "pedantic" part. So there is hope!
	♥ 10:48am Doug Schulkind: Good name for a Jamaican restaurant: Pedantic Jerk. (Or for a high school band?)
	🥁 ♥ 10:49am doctorjazz: Chris, I'm in heaven!!!
	10:49am Chris Albertyn: This was 1976 and he was still Dollar Brand on this cover
	🥁 ♥ 10:50am Jeff Golick: Jerk all around!
	♥ 10:50am Ken From Hyde Park: @doctorjazz - I hope you didn't endure spit valve drainage on that date.
	♥ 10:51am alanr: This is Monk translated into 'township' language!
	10:51am Chris Albertyn: written by Dollar Brand as homage
	♥ 10:52am Doug Schulkind: It's Comment Like a Pirate Day, alanrrrrrrrrr!
	♥ 10:52am ARB: Ahoy!
	🥁 ♥ 10:53am Brian in UK: Well my timbers have been well shivered.
	🥁 ♥ 10:53am Jeff Golick: The Sun/As Shams label is on Bandcamp: as-shams.bandcamp.com -- hoping for more backlist to come online. @Chris, do you know the folks behind the reemergence of the label?
	♥ 10:53am StringOFperils: May Dick Griffin story (which I may have also told before) was watching Mr. Ibrahim's band here in Toronto, from up close. Abdullah cued the trombone's turn to solo, during a long version of Sathima, and Griffin sort of flew away with it. When he should have dropped back he lost in a transport of pure ecstasy, and kept going, as if in his own world. The band giggled and whispered, but were softly shushed by their leader from the piano who softly said," No, no, let him go. He loves it." And you could see that they knew. They knew THAT feeling very deeply. Griffin kept going, although a tad embarrased. It was beautiful.
	10:53am Chris Albertyn: Arr, welcome, plank walking is to the left
	10:54am Chris Albertyn: @Jeff, yes we are a happy part of a small pool here in SA - collaborate often
	🥁 ♥ 10:56am doctorjazz: Love "Little Boy", one of many Ibrahim tunes that just grab the heart, sound simple, but how many composers pull this off?
	10:56am Chris Albertyn: Gilbert Matthews on drums, Sipho Gumede on bass, Bail Maneneberg Coetzee on alternate sax
	♥ 10:56am Doug Schulkind: @StringOFperils Goosebumps with that one. Thank you. Nice connection point after hearing "Blue Monk" as Dick Griffin spent many fruitful years with Thelonious.
	♥ 10:57am Doug Schulkind: Hello, comrade ARB!
	🥁 ♥ 10:57am doctorjazz: Great story, SoP!
	10:57am Chris Albertyn: great story strongofperils
	🥁 ♥ 10:58am doctorjazz: Listen to the little pearls Ibrahim drops in the accompaniment.
	♥ 10:59am Doug Schulkind: Only $880 to go to reach my (admittedly) lofty goal. Help me do it! It would be a tremendous showing for the Drummer Stream collectively. It would boggle the minds of Ken Freedman and admin folk at WFMU to see a stream show have such a fine showing. HELP ME BOGGLE MINDS! pledge.wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 11:01am doctorjazz: Got some work to get done, but it'll wait.
	🥁 ♥ 11:02am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): good morning, Doug and Chris and folx!
	🥁 ♥ 11:02am dutchtheo: Thanks, Chris!
	🥁 ♥ 11:02am doctorjazz: Thanks again, Chris, loved the segment! (if you couldn't tell)
	11:03am Chris Albertyn: Good Morning Baba Bee
	🥁 ♥ 11:03am Brian in UK: Well Chris each month gets better.
	♥ 11:03am WR: Thank you Chris!
	♥ 11:04am Listener Gregory: Thanks for a beautiful set, Chris.
	♥ 11:04am Spinning Giant: Greetings all! - just caught the tail end of that last segment as I rolled back in from errands - here for the remainder of the duration, and glad to be! :D
	♥ 11:06am Doug Schulkind: Baba Bee is in the Mx! Yahoo!
	♥ 11:07am solo mon: Happy Fried egg!
	🥁 ♥ 11:07am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): once again, I am grateful for the archives, since I miss so much of the earlier sets
	♥ 11:07am Doug Schulkind: Glad you spun this way, Spinng Giant!
	🥁 ♥ 11:07am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): solo mono stereo!
	♥ 11:07am Doug Schulkind: My sentiments egg zactly, solo mon!
	♥ 11:08am Spinning Giant: egg onna git m'self another cuppa joe
	♥ 11:08am Doug Schulkind: @Mx. Baba Bee The WFMU archives are like the great library at Alexandria. (Well, let's hope not exactly like the great library at Alexandria.)
	♥ 11:09am solo mon: Mx Baba Bee!
	♥ 11:09am StringOFperils: So great to hear from you Mr. Albertyn. Thank you!
	♥ 11:10am solo mon: Speaking of eggs, you’re gonna have to coddle me until I’ve had my coffee.
	11:10am Chris Albertyn: Thanks all for your gratitude and encourgement - I enjoy doing it
	🥁 ♥ 11:10am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: coddle coddle
	🥁 ♥ 11:10am chresti: Thanks Doug and Chris!
	🥁 ♥ 11:11am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: chrestikins!
	🥁 ♥ 11:11am chresti: Mx Baba Beekins! solo mon!
	🥁 ♥ 11:11am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: these sounds, these folx, this steaming cup of tea— I'm so happy right now, all
	♥ 11:11am Doug Schulkind: Thanks for the pledges, everyone! I am monumentally grateful.
	🥁 ♥ 11:11am βrian: I like mine molly-coddled.
	♥ 11:12am Andrew in Toronto: That was great Chris!
	♥ 11:14am Doug Schulkind: $370 more in pledges and the show will reach $7,000. Not sure I've ever done that before during a Hellraiser. Go ahead. Rock my world: pledge.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:17am Doug Schulkind: I don't say this enough during these tremendous shows with Chris Albertyn: Go check out the blog Electric Jive. It is an essential historical resource AND it has hours and hours and hours of amazing music to share. electricjive.blogspot.com
	♥ 11:17am solo mon: Wow! Doug that’s amazing! And wholly deserved!
	♥ 11:19am solo mon: Just looked up molly coddled - goals!
	♥ 11:20am Doug Schulkind: Recorded with compatriots Dennis Mpale (trumpet) and Pat Matshikiza (piano) and others, this treasured album's title, "Our Boys Are Doing It" was a direct answer to Hugh Masekela's wonderful album "The Boy's Doin' It." Like Masekela's album , this recording session took place in Lagos, Nigeria.
	🥁 ♥ 11:21am doctorjazz: 3 chords and HEAVEN! (they basically use those 3 chords you hear in La Bamba, sounds uniquely South African)
	♥ 11:22am Doug Schulkind: More Kippie with Pat Matshikiza coming up next. Listen for Matshikiza's screw-up at the start of this unreleased recording.
	11:23am Chris Albertyn: Doug you are soo kind, thanks for all you do here, and I hope you meet the target
	11:24am Chris Albertyn: I’m still listening in, but not on comments , great show Doug! Sundowners time now
	♥ 11:26am Doug Schulkind: Our 26 November show will be hard to top this, Chris. But I'm up for the challenge.
	🥁 ♥ 11:29am Uncle Michael: Good morning!
	🥁 ♥ 11:29am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): heya heya heya! It's Uncle Michael!
	♥ 11:29am solo mon: Beautiful sounds!
	♥ 11:30am Doug Schulkind: Daaaaaamnnnn! Someone just moved the pledge needle BIGLY! Only $70 away now from a cool 7 grand!!!!! THANK YOU OH WONDERFUL UNKNOWN PLEDGER!!!! (Actually, the station tells us that in November, the will give us the names of all those who pledged. So, You. Will. Be. Thanked.) Speaking of beautiful... Uncle Michael's here!
	🥁 ♥ 11:30am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): WHOOO HOOOO!!!!!
	🥁 ♥ 11:31am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): and this Blue Moon is really hitting the spot
	♥ 11:31am Doug Schulkind: This recording of "Blue Moon" was made at the same sessions that produced the Moeketsi/Matshikiza LP Tshona! The track has never been released. I have it (along with another unreleased track that you will hear leading off the next set) courtesy of Chris Albertyn. Of course.
	🥁 ♥ 11:32am βrian: I want a WFMU blue moon icon.
	♥ 11:35am StringOFperils: There might be Blumin icon.
	🥁 ♥ 11:37am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): WOW! Great job, everyone! I don't know what I'd do without this WFMU refuge.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Cha Cha Heels is such a fun party!!!!
	♥ 11:39am solo mon: WFMU is the greatest and bestest and the weirdest and the wildest LOVE
	🥁 ♥ 11:39am βrian: Is a blue moon still made out of green cheese? I'd go for Roquefort, or Stilton, maybe.
	♥ 11:39am StringOFperils: Agreed re. 'refuge', Mx. Baba Bee. A step along the evolution of personal survival.
	♥ 11:40am Doug Schulkind: pledge.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:44am Doug Schulkind: @Mx. Baba Bee WFMU has been my refuge, my sanctuary, my therapy for just about 35 years now. Where the hell would I be without it?
	🥁 ♥ 11:45am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): mmmm, Roquefort hey, SOp!
	🥁 ♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: This rendition is very faithful to the original.
	🥁 ♥ 11:46am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): OMX, folx, just saying it would be so cool to see that last $70 go into the hat for our Daddy Drummer, Doug!
	♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind: Almost exactly a decade ago (4 October 2011), after this Allen Kwela record was shared at the Electric Jive blog, this is the comment I left: "Thank you so much... Any occasion to enjoy some previously unheard Kippie is a treasure indeed. His breezy playing on this session is so dreamy and joyful.

	♥ 8:59am Doug Schulkind: Hardly a second of this program would be possible without you, Chris Albertyn.
	🥁 ♥ 8:59am Brian in UK: Do not know much about Kippie but it seems like a sad life. Larry's show last night featured Tim Hardin, different style but same ending.
	8:59am listener james from westwood: Happy Friday, Doug, Chris, and all!
	♥ 8:59am Doug Schulkind: Webhamster Henry has burrowed his way in!

	9:04am Irene: Hey hey Doug and Drummers all! Hope I can listen for a bit this morning.
	🥁 ♥ 9:04am PAULS: some people
	♥ 9:05am Webhamster Henry: I've found precious few recordings of autoharps in the whole continent of Africa. Yet there should be, I'd think, since they are light-weight substitutes for pianos. I guess if you have a kora, you're well past that kind of music.
	9:06am Chris Albertyn: Whenry, I will be happy to dig up a segment of South African autoharps just for you ... one of these days
	9:07am Gina Bacon: TGIF, Doug & Chris & all!

	9:08am Chris Albertyn: Hi Gina, Irene, Pauls ... Whenry I'll alert the e-mailman when it happens :-)

	♥ 9:13am Doug Schulkind: @Listening Out There Oh good, we still got some doughnuts left. Over there, by the punchbowl.
	♥ 9:15am Doug Schulkind: I forgot the green stuff on the playlist. Was feeling a bit...naked.
	9:15am Chris Albertyn: well, I was begining to think it was the punch Doug
	♥ 9:16am Doug Schulkind: Can't it be both, Chris?
	♥ 9:18am Doug Schulkind: Kippie on the licorice stick.
	9:18am Chris Albertyn: Indeed, it shall be Doug ... after all, it is late afternoon here in soon-to-be rainy, but warm Durban
	♥ 9:19am Doug Schulkind: It is currently nippy and pouring here in Pittsburgh, but gloriously sun-warmed in my musical heart.
	🥁 ♥ 9:20am dutchtheo: Yippee for Kippie! Doug!, Chris!, drummers!
	9:20am Listener Robert: One of those pieces I've been hearing forever but never knew its name -- or even that it had one!

	9:21am Chris Albertyn: great to have you on board dutchtheo, it is yippee even more now

	♥ 9:24am Doug Schulkind: @redkayak Chris Albertyn and I will do all the paddling. You sit back and relax. GMorning, KWilde!
	♥ 9:24am Doug Schulkind: @Chris Albertyn Oops, we should coordinate on our metaphors.
	♥ 9:25am redkayak: Awesome. Full speed ahead gentlemen!
	9:25am Chris Albertyn: :-) its a long anchor rope and we just go in lovely dizzying circles Doug
	🥁 ♥ 9:25am dutchtheo: Indian summerish over here 19C / 66F!
	♥ 9:26am redkayak: @Doug @Chris - In safe harbor, anyway! :D
	♥ 9:26am Doug Schulkind: That works for me, Captain Chris.
	♥ 9:29am Listener Gregory: Away from my computer now, but I'm listening from the Land of Lurkville. Learning a lot!
	9:30am bigplanetnoise: GMorning, Doug and all!

	9:39am prudy: Good morning all...loving the show, Doug, thank you...looking forward to hearing from Chris..

	♥ 9:40am Doug Schulkind: And now Kippie's solo.
	9:40am Chris Albertyn: hiya Prudy, thanks for tuning in
	♥ 9:46am Listener Gregory: Beautiful rendition of Angel Eyes. It really captures the song's spookiness. And not shortened for radio play or the like.
	♥ 9:46am Listener Gregory: Back to Lurkville for the moment.
	♥ 9:47am Doug Schulkind: "Blues for Hughie," composed by Kippie Moeketsi.
	🥁 ♥ 9:47am doctorjazz: Been a Dollar Brand/Abdullah Ibrahim obsessive for ages, this is terrific!
	♥ 9:48am Doug Schulkind: You will hear more brilliant collaborations with Kippie and Dollar Brand/Abdullah Ibrahim coming up.
	9:48am Chris Albertyn: greetingsl doctorjazz, I may have something for you
	♥ 9:49am Franco Twinkie: I concur Gregory. Angle Eyes feels so right as the sun is coming up.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50am doctorjazz: Hi, Chris, can't wait!
	♥ 9:50am Doug Schulkind: This LP, Jazz Epistle, Verse 1, should be in the collection of every jazz fan. Of every sentient being, actually.

	🥁 ♥ 9:50am chresti: Morning Doug and drummers!

	♥ 9:52am Franco Twinkie: Even before the coffee is ready, we turn you on Doug.
	♥ 9:52am Doug Schulkind: Copious information, plus the complete liner notes to this Gideon Nxumalo record: www.flatinternational.org...
	♥ 9:53am Doug Schulkind: You definitely turn me on, Franco Twinkie.
	♥ 9:53am Franco Twinkie: Aw shucks.
	🥁 ♥ 9:53am PAULS: This is my favorite one so far.
	♥ 9:54am Doug Schulkind: Gideon Nxumalo describes this song thusly... "ISINTU can loosely be translated as meaning Humanity of Humaneness. This was especially written for Kippie Moeketsi. Here, once again, I tried to use typical African (Township) chord sequences. If you'll notice, the melody on the saxophone is purely pentatonic apart, of course, from the occasional grace notes Kippie throws in. While the melody is a ballad, I've tried to employ off-beat rhythms in the D section on the piano. This, I believe, is the vogue nowadays... a desire to get away from the regular 4/4 beat."
	🥁 ♥ 9:55am doctorjazz: Man...
	🥁 ♥ 9:58am sinner: I have been looking forward to this show all week. Bests to the Drummer & Mr. Albertyn.
	10:00am Chris Albertyn: greetings sinner, you are not alone on that one
	♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind: @Chris Albertyn Is there a click in the pronunciation of "Nxumalo"?
	🥁 ♥ 10:00am βrian: I see Doug has stepped on the exhilarator. Woo wee!
	10:01am Chris Albertyn: @Doug, yes indeed, their is a click. I was talking to his daughter recently and she told me, much to my surprise that Gideon came from the northern Cape and did not speak isiZulu
	♥ 10:01am Doug Schulkind: Your presence is sanctified, sinner! High stepping all the way, βrian!
	♥ 10:03am alanr: Amen!
	🥁 ♥ 10:04am doctorjazz: matsulimusic.bandcamp.com... Gideon Nxumalo, vinyl or digital download!
	10:04am Chris Albertyn: you got it on the last try Doug!
	🥁 ♥ 10:04am βrian: Is the bilabial fibrillation a feature of Xhosa, as well?
	10:07am Irene: So many great Kippie selections this morning Doug! Chris, looking forward to your local perspective on his music.
	10:08am prudy: thanks so much for giving the historical context Chris...
	10:09am listener james from westwood: Bloody amazing first hour and tingling for Chris's contributions!
	🥁 ♥ 10:09am Jeff Golick: This is great radio. Howdy.
	10:11am Chris Albertyn: Ian Bruce Huntley is alive and well and 82 years young
	♥ 10:11am StringOFperils: Good morning, Doug and Chris. Just in time for a great story.
	♥ 10:12am WR: So we are getting Moeketsi adoration part 1, 2 & 3 today? Yay! Thank WFMU for the archive, popping in now during work break.
	10:13am Chris Albertyn: This is recorded by Ian Bruce Huntley on a portable Tandberg 6 reel to reel recorrder - with two microphones (with permission of the artists)
	10:13am Chris Albertyn: This first saxophone is Danayi Dlova
	♥ 10:14am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Doug and drummer corpse! 💀
	10:15am Chris Albertyn: Welcome Ken from Hyde Park ... And here comes Kippie
	♥ 10:15am Doug Schulkind: Greetings, Ken From Hyde Park! So happy to see that little snare drum badge. THANK YOU!
	🥁 ♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: Chris, an ironic title?
	🥁 ♥ 10:16am doctorjazz: Not a bad sounding recording...sounds mono, despite the 2 mics, but all players come through very nicely!
	10:16am Chris Albertyn: @Brian, indeed - referring to the requirement of black msicians to use the scullery department as their "dressing room"
	10:18am Chris Albertyn: Kippie, after seven years away
	♥ 10:23am Doug Schulkind: A further explanation behind the title "Scullery Department": A theme by Moeketsi and is “about” the treatment of the band by a white club owner. The incident is described in Peter Esterhuysen's book Kippie Moeketsi Sad Man of Jazz (Viva Books, 1995): 'One evening the Jazz Espistles were playing in a Johannesburg nightclub. When they took a break the owner led them to the kitchen. He gave the musicians a meal. Then he went back inside his club. While the Epistles were eating, Kippie became very cross. He said, 'By right, you know Dollar, this is all nonsense – this idea of us being taken into the kitchen when there's a break. Are we 'kitchen boys'? Aren't we here to entertain the people?' 'Ja ou pellie,' Dollar answered, 'ons kom nou en dan by die kombuis ... the scullery department.' Kippie started to make up a new song right there in the kitchen. He called his new song 'Scullery Department.'”
	🥁 ♥ 10:24am doctorjazz: Old Folks is how I know this.
	♥ 10:25am redkayak: @Doug - Wow.....that's a story there.....
	10:25am Chris Albertyn: Thanks Doug! .. to translate Dollar's response to Kippie: Yes old pal, we find ourselves occassionally in the kitchen
	♥ 10:26am Doug Schulkind: I would dearly love love love to get some pledges during this my final show of WFMU's October Hellraiser fundraiser. We're all volunteers here at Give the Drummer Radio. We do this purely for the love. And the music. My program has done well so far (thanks to one spectacularly large pledge), but I would really like to get closer to or exceed my goal. Please make a pledge: pledge.wfmu.org... Thanks!
	10:27am Chris Albertyn: Nowhhere is the guitarist credited - I belive it is Dollar Brand himself
	🥁 ♥ 10:28am doctorjazz: Really??? Never thought of Brand as a guitarist (does he play it anywhere else?)
	♥ 10:28am Listener Gregory: "Old People" = Old Folks This is a strange song and even stranger to be played by South African musicians.
	♥ 10:29am Listener Gregory: Oops, I see @doctorj preceded me in identifying the song. I should have known! Exiled from Lurkville, btw, so back in Commentown.
	🥁 ♥ 10:29am βrian: Those slinky brushes!
	10:29am Chris Albertyn: Listener Gregory - you are correct, penned in 1932 ... it turns up on Dollar's repertoire to showcase Kippie
	🥁 ♥ 10:31am Brian in UK: These pieces are so tender.
	🥁 ♥ 10:31am doctorjazz: These albums are a bitch to find...Tracked down Jazz Epistle Verse 1 for a not exorbitant sum, Dollar Brand + 3, still looking...
	10:31am Chris Albertyn: @Brian Nelson Magwaza on the slinky brushes .
	10:32am Chris Albertyn: @doctorjazz, I'm looking for one with slightly fewer pops ...
	♥ 10:34am Doug Schulkind: @Chris Albertyn No doubt the "copy" own has all the same pops. (Thanks to you.)
	10:34am Chris Albertyn: Victor Ntoni sawing his upright bass
	10:34am prudy: really beautiful piece...
	♥ 10:35am Doug Schulkind: THAAAAAANK to whoever just pledged. We DJs can't see who is pledging, so just a blanket heartfelt thank you.
	🥁 ♥ 10:36am doctorjazz: Ahhh, just LOVE those Brand tremolos-don't know any other pianist who does it quite like this.
	♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind: This tune may just be the top of Moeketsi Mountain. The opening anthem brings me to my knees.
	♥ 10:37am Listener Gregory: Ditto
	♥ 10:38am redkayak: Thanks for the music @Chris @Doug. I had never heard of this man before today. A truly memorable Friday :) Gotta run.....the trees are calling ;)
	🥁 ♥ 10:38am Jeff Golick: Gah.
	♥ 10:38am StringOFperils: It's the sound of all that is good in the heart of humanity.
	10:38am Chris Albertyn: paddle safe redkayak
	♥ 10:39am Doug Schulkind: So long redkayak. Until the next memorable Friday!
	🥁 ♥ 10:40am Jeff Golick: @Chris, was this recorded in '75?
	♥ 10:40am Doug Schulkind: Hello here, Jeff Golick! Hello there, StringOFperils!
	10:42am prudy: really fascinating connection there...
	10:43am Chris Albertyn: @Jeff - it was recorded late 1972 and published in 1973
	🥁 ♥ 10:43am doctorjazz: My Abdullah Ibrahim story (I've posted this before, apologies to those who've seen it). Took my wife on our first date to see Abdullah Ibrahim with Ekaya at Sweet Basil. We got there a bit late, last seats were in the front row. Had the trombone (I think it was Dick Griffin) slide whizzing over our heads. Amazingly, she stayed with me.
	10:44am Irene: Bra Joe From Kilimanjaro! One of my favorite Abdullah Ibrahim tunes.
	10:44am Chris Albertyn: great story doctorjazz
	♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick I am typing the playlist. Thus typos. Thanks for catching that.
	🥁 ♥ 10:45am doctorjazz: Ibrahim usually went into an unaccompanied piano solo at his concerts, and this particular vamp was often what he went to. I managed to catch Ibrahim live quite a few times, up until the last tour with a reformed Ekaya maybe 3 years ago.
	🥁 ♥ 10:45am Jeff Golick: Being a pedantic jerk comes easy to me, @Doug.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46am Jeff Golick: Also, in my mind '75 is about when Dollar Brand morphs into Abdullah Ibrahim...?
	♥ 10:47am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick I was a editor/copyeditor for 25 years. Calling out others' on their errors is my sweetspot.
	🥁 ♥ 10:47am βrian: When I saw him in the early 80s, he was billed as the "former Dollar Brand."
	♥ 10:47am Listener Gregory: @Jeff, I was a pedantic jerk too. The good news is that as I got older I found that I lost the "pedantic" part. So there is hope!
	♥ 10:48am Doug Schulkind: Good name for a Jamaican restaurant: Pedantic Jerk. (Or for a high school band?)
	🥁 ♥ 10:49am doctorjazz: Chris, I'm in heaven!!!
	10:49am Chris Albertyn: This was 1976 and he was still Dollar Brand on this cover
	🥁 ♥ 10:50am Jeff Golick: Jerk all around!
	♥ 10:50am Ken From Hyde Park: @doctorjazz - I hope you didn't endure spit valve drainage on that date.
	♥ 10:51am alanr: This is Monk translated into 'township' language!
	10:51am Chris Albertyn: written by Dollar Brand as homage
	♥ 10:52am Doug Schulkind: It's Comment Like a Pirate Day, alanrrrrrrrrr!
	♥ 10:52am ARB: Ahoy!
	🥁 ♥ 10:53am Brian in UK: Well my timbers have been well shivered.
	🥁 ♥ 10:53am Jeff Golick: The Sun/As Shams label is on Bandcamp: as-shams.bandcamp.com -- hoping for more backlist to come online. @Chris, do you know the folks behind the reemergence of the label?
	♥ 10:53am StringOFperils: May Dick Griffin story (which I may have also told before) was watching Mr. Ibrahim's band here in Toronto, from up close. Abdullah cued the trombone's turn to solo, during a long version of Sathima, and Griffin sort of flew away with it. When he should have dropped back he lost in a transport of pure ecstasy, and kept going, as if in his own world. The band giggled and whispered, but were softly shushed by their leader from the piano who softly said," No, no, let him go. He loves it." And you could see that they knew. They knew THAT feeling very deeply. Griffin kept going, although a tad embarrased. It was beautiful.
	10:53am Chris Albertyn: Arr, welcome, plank walking is to the left
	10:54am Chris Albertyn: @Jeff, yes we are a happy part of a small pool here in SA - collaborate often
	🥁 ♥ 10:56am doctorjazz: Love "Little Boy", one of many Ibrahim tunes that just grab the heart, sound simple, but how many composers pull this off?
	10:56am Chris Albertyn: Gilbert Matthews on drums, Sipho Gumede on bass, Bail Maneneberg Coetzee on alternate sax
	♥ 10:56am Doug Schulkind: @StringOFperils Goosebumps with that one. Thank you. Nice connection point after hearing "Blue Monk" as Dick Griffin spent many fruitful years with Thelonious.
	♥ 10:57am Doug Schulkind: Hello, comrade ARB!
	🥁 ♥ 10:57am doctorjazz: Great story, SoP!
	10:57am Chris Albertyn: great story strongofperils
	🥁 ♥ 10:58am doctorjazz: Listen to the little pearls Ibrahim drops in the accompaniment.
	♥ 10:59am Doug Schulkind: Only $880 to go to reach my (admittedly) lofty goal. Help me do it! It would be a tremendous showing for the Drummer Stream collectively. It would boggle the minds of Ken Freedman and admin folk at WFMU to see a stream show have such a fine showing. HELP ME BOGGLE MINDS! pledge.wfmu.org...

	♥ 11:12am Andrew in Toronto: That was great Chris!
	♥ 11:14am Doug Schulkind: $370 more in pledges and the show will reach $7,000. Not sure I've ever done that before during a Hellraiser. Go ahead. Rock my world: pledge.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:17am Doug Schulkind: I don't say this enough during these tremendous shows with Chris Albertyn: Go check out the blog Electric Jive. It is an essential historical resource AND it has hours and hours and hours of amazing music to share. electricjive.blogspot.com
	♥ 11:17am solo mon: Wow! Doug that’s amazing! And wholly deserved!
	♥ 11:19am solo mon: Just looked up molly coddled - goals!
	♥ 11:20am Doug Schulkind: Recorded with compatriots Dennis Mpale (trumpet) and Pat Matshikiza (piano) and others, this treasured album's title, "Our Boys Are Doing It" was a direct answer to Hugh Masekela's wonderful album "The Boy's Doin' It." Like Masekela's album , this recording session took place in Lagos, Nigeria.
	🥁 ♥ 11:21am doctorjazz: 3 chords and HEAVEN! (they basically use those 3 chords you hear in La Bamba, sounds uniquely South African)
	♥ 11:22am Doug Schulkind: More Kippie with Pat Matshikiza coming up next. Listen for Matshikiza's screw-up at the start of this unreleased recording.
	11:23am Chris Albertyn: Doug you are soo kind, thanks for all you do here, and I hope you meet the target
	11:24am Chris Albertyn: I’m still listening in, but not on comments , great show Doug! Sundowners time now

	♥ 11:30am Doug Schulkind: Daaaaaamnnnn! Someone just moved the pledge needle BIGLY! Only $70 away now from a cool 7 grand!!!!! THANK YOU OH WONDERFUL UNKNOWN PLEDGER!!!! (Actually, the station tells us that in November, the will give us the names of all those who pledged. So, You. Will. Be. Thanked.) Speaking of beautiful... Uncle Michael's here!
	🥁 ♥ 11:30am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): WHOOO HOOOO!!!!!
	🥁 ♥ 11:31am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): and this Blue Moon is really hitting the spot
	♥ 11:31am Doug Schulkind: This recording of "Blue Moon" was made at the same sessions that produced the Moeketsi/Matshikiza LP Tshona! The track has never been released. I have it (along with another unreleased track that you will hear leading off the next set) courtesy of Chris Albertyn. Of course.
	🥁 ♥ 11:32am βrian: I want a WFMU blue moon icon.
	♥ 11:35am StringOFperils: There might be Blumin icon.
	🥁 ♥ 11:37am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): WOW! Great job, everyone! I don't know what I'd do without this WFMU refuge.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Cha Cha Heels is such a fun party!!!!
	♥ 11:39am solo mon: WFMU is the greatest and bestest and the weirdest and the wildest LOVE
	🥁 ♥ 11:39am βrian: Is a blue moon still made out of green cheese? I'd go for Roquefort, or Stilton, maybe.
	♥ 11:39am StringOFperils: Agreed re. 'refuge', Mx. Baba Bee. A step along the evolution of personal survival.
	♥ 11:40am Doug Schulkind: pledge.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:44am Doug Schulkind: @Mx. Baba Bee WFMU has been my refuge, my sanctuary, my therapy for just about 35 years now. Where the hell would I be without it?
	🥁 ♥ 11:45am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): mmmm, Roquefort hey, SOp!
	🥁 ♥ 11:46am Brian in UK: This rendition is very faithful to the original.
	🥁 ♥ 11:46am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): OMX, folx, just saying it would be so cool to see that last $70 go into the hat for our Daddy Drummer, Doug!
	♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind: Almost exactly a decade ago (4 October 2011), after this Allen Kwela record was shared at the Electric Jive blog, this is the comment I left: "Thank you so much... Any occasion to enjoy some previously unheard Kippie is a treasure indeed. His breezy playing on this session is so dreamy and joyful. The trill he plays during his solo on Quaphela made my heart stop. I am grateful to have this." And do you know what, my friends? The download link for this glorious recording IS STILL ACTIVE electricjive.blogspot.com... You can go grab it right now:
	♥ 11:51am Listener Gregory: Have to run, Doug. I actually had no idea bout Kippie, though I imagine I have heard him play on records without registering his name. Well now I know! Thanks a lot.
	🥁 ♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: Doug, Kippie's playing seems to be free of any side to it.
	♥ 11:51am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another great show you guys!!
	♥ 11:52am Listener Gregory: P.S. Moeketsi became an honorary Pole in the current listing, as Moeketski.
	🥁 ♥ 11:52am duke: Great show Doug and Chris. Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 11:52am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): aside from the excellent DJ'd programs, the non-DJ'd GTDR stream is my go to when I'm just curious to hear the unpredictable twists and turns of tunes from the wide wild world. Thanks, Doug!!!!
	♥ 11:54am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory I'd like to see him on some jetskis. @Mx. Baba Bee Your comment is well-crafted to plunge a dozen roses deep into my heart.
	♥ 11:55am Doug Schulkind: One last beseeching. Please drop some last coins in the Drummer's cup: pledge.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:55am burke: I didn't know how much I needed to hear that saxophone until I heard it today, thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56am Jeff Golick: The Black Beauty link above in Doug's comment has an extra dot/period at the end, which renders it non-functional. Just delete that last dot and it works!
	🥁 ♥ 11:57am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): thanks, Jeff! I was perplexed
	🥁 ♥ 11:57am dutchtheo: Thanks, Doug! and Chris!
	🥁 ♥ 11:58am doctorjazz: Thanks, Doug, Chris, wonderful show!!!
