I was just thinking a few mins. ago about how I feel a little thrill sometimes when I hear where a show is coming from. I react that way to the anmt of Squirrel Hill because I was familiar w it as a child. I reacted that way to Art Bell's anmt, "From Manila in the Philippines" because it sounded exotic & other reasons. And I reacted that way to the up-front billing of the unspellable Welsh location of the resort on the final episode of "The Prisoner".

  9:19am Listener Robert:

When I had shingles a few yrs. ago, I went on tramadol for a mo. Just got me drowsy, not high like Field Marshal Ken reports -- but then, I'm square. But getting OFF it was a "trip" for me. Doc said I shouldn't've discontinued it abruptly like that. Still, withdrawal from it wasn't unpleasant the way it'd been for my friend Nadine -- just weird.

My wife and I stayed at a Bed & Breakfast in deeply rural Pennsylvania the past few days. It was about 50 feet from a near-constantly used CSX rail line. Half-mile freight trains rumbling/screeching past us every hour or more. It was kinda cool, actually. No toxic-spill evacuations was nice, though.

Avatar 9:36am Scraps:

Ah, here we go. From Eugene Chadbourne at Allmusic:

While only a few jazz listeners seem to be aware of this talented individual, there is a choice of three names to have not heard of him by: Herbie Morgan, Herbert Morgan, and Rahman Herbie Morgan. His loyalty to the city of Newark is most likely what has kept him out of the international jazz limelight, although at the same time proximity to New York City has meant Morgan's meaningful music has upon occasion been heard by the right audience at the right time. If a player's talents are to be judged by the people who seek him out, then Morgan rates highly indeed, playing on some of organist Larry Young's marvelous albums in the '60s and rousing spirits in the new millennium alongside jazz poet Amiri Baraka.

It is in the former context that the adventurous jazz fan most likely hears the big sound of Morgan's tenor. Young's short career and smallish discography were packed with incendiary music, an example of jazz fusion at its best and the type of playing that arouses intense curiosity about every name listed in the liner notes. In the '70s Morgan spent some time in the horn section of the Latin jazz group Ocho. At the 2004 Vision Festival in New York City, Morgan performed as part of a Baraka ensemble project called Blue Ark: the Wordship. Other members included the superb percussionist Pheeroan akLaff and pianist Vijay Iyer.

Whoops, sorry about that
Avatar 9:38am Scraps:

What's a jody call?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:17am Alex In Illinois:

I am so glad this show is being archived. This set amazing. Not many people could put together such an enjoyable set of drum oriented numbers as this.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:17am melinda:

I recall hearing a singing auctioneer but I don't remember whose show it was on.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:21am listener james from westwood:

@melinda: Shorthand for a military cadence, sung while troops are jogging or marching. Evidently a character named Jody appeared in enough of these that they became known as Jody calls.

Sorry to hear that Carol and Scott M. are not coming over to GtDR as well. (I already knew John Allen wasn't. He made that clear.) Hopefully they will turn up elsewhere. Carol's show is especially great.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:27am Doug Schulkind:

Happy Mind Train Day, Shaun!

@Ike
Carol was going to come over to the Stream, but she ended up taking over another slot on WFMU that opened up. At least I think that is the story. Scott McDowell may yet end up on the Stream. Things may possibly happen "down the road."

So good. This was released as a single, I see: "'Mind Train' (Edit)/'Listen, The Snow Is Falling' (7") (Did not chart)"

Yeah, it's been less then six months since the last time I've heard Mind Train here....

Whoever puts a razor blade to the full-length version of Mind Train gets booted from the Drummer Train.

@Doug, oh, great, good to know, thanks! I presume Carol must be fulfilling her show-title destiny and programming by moonlight in the old Stashu timeslot.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:31am Doug Schulkind:

You know those "There have been no injuries for [x] days" signs on the factory floor?

We have a "There has been no playing of Mind Train for [x] days" sign here at Drummer Some HQ.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:34am Doug Schulkind:

@Shaun
Are you saying Yoko had loco motives in recording this?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:35am Jeff Golick:

They keep writing over the "No national disgrace in X days" sign.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:35am listener james from westwood:

Good to hear Carol's gonna still be on the station; I dig her show. Sad to temporarily lose Scott McD. Very curious about what's to come in the mornings.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:36am listener james from westwood:

If it's gonna be a single host, they have a daunting fundraising task ahead of them. But no doubt they'll have MCs during their 10 shifts during that period.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:36am Alex In Illinois:

I remember a rally in DC, where John Stewart had Peace Train played, then Steve Cobert has Crazy Train, and then they played Love Train.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:37am Doug Schulkind:

Someday. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not the day after, but someday I am going to do a 24-hour special of nothing but Mind Train.

Don't you think that would be responsible thing to do?
Avatar 11:37am Shaun:

Doug, it's only on Apple because John had the pull, man.

Ringo Starr used to narrate episodes of Thomas the Tank Engine. Somehow, that seems relevant.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:39am Doug Schulkind:

No one yet has any idea what will be the new M-F morning show on WFMU. Well I suppose SOMEONE has an idea.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:39am northguineahills:

@Doug: only if followed in the next 24 hours of all the versions of Cage's 4'33" mixed together w/ Merzbow's Greatest Hits.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:45am Doug Schulkind:

You can surely bet that not everyone will be happy with whoever takes over the M-F morning slot. There is simply no way to please everyone. But it must be said that if there is one person on the planet with the taste, instincts and vision to make the choice, it is Ken Freedman.
  11:46am Dean:

Maybe I'm just sensitive, but why do you keep referring to the motherfucking morning slot?
  11:47am Mr C:

The Drummer is my shining star. Late check in. Sorry to have missed Pavanne set.
Avatar 11:48am Sue P.:

@Dean - there's a lot of inside baseball re: the Morning Slot. It's boring but important. A policy issue, if you will.
  11:49am Dean:

@Sue P. I thought I was being "clever" translating M-F as motherfucking. Not so.
  11:49am Mr C:

Soulful Drums was ending theme for DJ Eddie OJay on WLIB am.
On a need to know basis..

You are absolutely right. Sorry to be so East Coast-centric. My apologies.

Howdy, Sue P!

Thanks for spelling out the connection between Gould's Pavane and Impressions, Doug, because I knew the theme sounded familiar, and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't figure it out.
First you caused my anxiety, but then you relieved it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Dr. Lewis Porter gets all the credit for connecting Ahmad Jamal's "Pavanne" and Coltrane's "Impressions." I just stumbled on his discovery.
  12:01pm Belated Listener Gregory:

The show is always good, but sometimes at the end, I ask myself, "Did we really give the drummer any?" Well, today I can answer the question with a resounding "YES." Great percussioning, Doug.
