All that showed up today was the 1am hour of the bar:<br /><br />Counting backwards:<br /><br />1:54Zoe of Rome / Rachel Taylor Brown (Susan Storm's Ugly Sister)<br />1:44Liminal / Meredith Monk (Impermanence)<br />1:38Tona Atoyaatl / Soriah & Ashkelon Sain (Atlan)<br />1:32Funky Kingston / Toots & the Maytals (best of)<br />1:32Theme from Shaft / Dutch Rhythm & Steel & Show Band (Soul & Steel Show)<br />1:24Slipping Into Darkness / War (best of)<br />1:21Green Onions / Booker T & the MGs (best of)<br />1:18Bacon Fat / Andre Williams (best of)<br />1:11 2001 / Deodato (Instrumental Classics)<br />1:07Fire on the Bayou / Meters (Funkify Your Life)<br />1:03Familiar Reality-Opening / Dr. John (The Sun, Moon & Herbs)<br /><br />UPDATE:<br />I've been trying to piece together, in what's left of my brain, some other parts of the playlist. I will try to rebuild what I did as it comes back into memory. It may take a while.<br /><br />For instance, I opened the show at 10pm with:<br />Keith Jarrett / Bop-Be / Bop Be / vinyl<br />Eric Dolphy / Hat and Beard / Out To Lunch<br />Gary Burton & Steve Swallow / Chelsea Bells / Hotel Hello <br /><br />After I opened The Bar and played the Bettye LaVette tunes and the interview, I think it went something like this:<br /><br /><br />Tony Ozier / Aural Penetration<br />Liv Warfield/ Brother Man / Embrace me<br />Prince / Kiss / The Hits IITom D'Antonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09217899425755182404noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646160684203863542.post-48049106435376069662009-08-18T12:49:00.000-07:002009-08-18T13:00:41.304-07:00While sitting outside at 1am on my old wicker, in the old courtyard of the old apartment building and listening to WWOZ from New Orleans. Pops is signing, "Cheek To Cheek" with Ella Fitzgerald….<br /><br />I wish KMHD had a live over night DJ. Maybe I wish I was him.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br /><b><u>OPB BEING NICE TO THOSE OF US WHO WORK FOR FREE</b></u><br /><br />On Monday, OPB threw a little party to let their staff get to know some of the KMHD jocks, or "On-Air Hosts" as we are officialy called now. Was nice to see old friends. In one month, they have given us more opportunities for DJs to talk to each other than we had in a year under the old regime.<br /><br />They had thrown a party for DJ's on the day the station switched over from MHCC's studio to the new one at OPB.<br /><br />They've gone out of their way to make us feel at home. I think it will spur everyone to do a better job. I started my first shift in the new studio with Oregon's version of Jim Pepper's <b> Witchi-Tai-To</b> from the <b>Out of the Woods</b> album…and on vinyl. I did my whole first set from vinyl.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <br /><br /><b><u>GUESSS WHO HAS THE LONGEST RUNNING GIG IN PORTLAND</b></u><br /><br />Good guess. I don't know the answer, but I know which band has <b>one</b> of the longest and that's the Django-style band the <b>Kung Pao Chickens</b> at the Laurelthirst Pub. They've been playing every Monday night for free for <b>nine years</b>! Of course, you're supposed to throw something in the tip jar.<br /><br />As you may remember, the Chickens were started by Pete Krebs. After he left town Jon Neufeld, Tracy Kim, Gary Guenther and Tim Acott made up the band. When Pete came back he joined in from time to time until he went away (what seems like) permanently (but who knows?).<br /><br />They've always been a treat. These days, they've been joined by a large group of swing dancers who make Mondays even more fun. Would I rather watch girls swing dance or would I rather watchthe band? You figure it out.<br /><br />Gary has been around forever and still sounds great whether he's playing clarinet, sax, flute or singing. Neufeld, for my,money is still the great undisovered jazz guitarist in this town. Tracy Kim, since he changed guitars to one which doesn't sound as much like Jon's stands out a lot better and is playing better than ever.<br /><br />And ole Laurelthirst is as funky as ever.<br /><br />Here's a story I did on them several years ago:<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tgOXAKNDdOo&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tgOXAKNDdOo&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br /><b><u>PROBABLY THE BEST HANG OF THE SUMMER</b></u><br /><br />Last Friday's CD release for <b>Commotion</b> was not only a great performance, but the hang was awesome.<br /><br />I wrote about it for the O.

Found out that Damian Erskine is putting the finishing touches on a new album which he says makes his last one (which was tremendous) look like a demo.<br /><br />Joked with his wife, artist Courtney Erskine, about Mary Sue Tobin's brief obsession with the S.O.S. Band's <b>Just Be Good to Me</b> and how she had to listen to all those 80's songs (good and bad) when Ms Erskine was bartending in Chicago.<br /><br />Was nice to see saxophonist Jason DuMars back in circulation after spending three years in Nashville. (What was he thinking?) Looking forward to his collaborations with Joe Janiga and others.<br /><br />Was bittersweet to see drummer Drew Shoals, knowing he's going back east to Philly and law school. Now we're going to miss him all over again.<br /><br />David Ornette Cherry talking to drummer Rod Nighingale who had to play after just having surgery on his leg. Dusy York and I talking about the Orioles.<br /><br />A great evening.<br /><br />Btw….Ohmega Watts opened and played with Commotion on their last tune.

a WW Best People? Me? Oh, for THAT.I had forgotten that a young lady from <b>Willamette Week</b> nameded Whitney Hawke (Is that her porn name? Or her Storm name?) had called me up and asked me some questions about my days long-ago as a supermarket tabloid writer.<br /><br />Then today their <b>Best of Portland</b> came out and I was named <b>Best Tabloid Journalist</b> in the <a href="http://wweek.com/editorial/3537/12838/">Best People</a> section. Scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll to get to it.<br /><br />Or look at what they wrote here:<br /><br /><blockquote><b>Best Tabloid Journalist</b><br /><br />When you look at a rack of tabloids in the grocery store, do you ever wonder what sicko thought up stories like “Grandma Turns Pet Dog Inside Out Looking for Lost Lottery Ticket,” “Cult Uses Human Heads for Bowling Balls” or “Rabid Nun Infects Entire Convent”? Well, the answer is Portland resident Tom D’Antoni. The bearded and bespectacled D’Antoni wrote for The Sun—a national tabloid rag —while living in Baltimore in the mid-’80s, earning $25 for each salacious story he wrote. Plus another $10 if the story went on the cover.<br /><br />D’Antoni describes the experience as being “fun at the beginning because it was a status symbol,” but the job quickly became a morbidly depressing gig. “I would get up in the morning and think of the worst things I could think of. Sometimes it would upset me so much I had to leave the house,” he says. D’Antoni compares the world of tabloids to so-called “professional” wrestling. The vast majority of people know it’s bullshit, but some kooks believe every bit of it without question.<br /><br />Now a radio host on Portland’s KMHD 89.1 FM, a blogger for The Huffington Post and a freelance journalist for The Oregonian, D’Antoni has become a player in Portland’s local media scene. He’s tossed tabloid writing aside for now to focus on other projects, including one he says he “can’t even talk about yet, but will have a major impact on journalists in Portland.” So long as you don’t plan on using our heads for bowling balls, Tom. WHITNEY HAWKE.</blockquote><br /><br />Thanks WW.....I think.Tom D'Antonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09217899425755182404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646160684203863542.post-64615607778991241462009-07-21T14:39:00.000-07:002009-07-21T19:04:00.931-07:00Dis, Dat or D'uddaWhile listening to my own KMHD show from last Saturday... Don't laugh. Ok laugh, but since I like all the stuff I play and since sometimes I don't remember what the hell I did, it's fun to listen to my own sets. I always get surprised.<br /><br />Dave Chappelle will make a special appearance on this blog at midnight.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <br /><br /><b><u>UPDATE!!

Bill Rhodes Trio (w/Jim Miller and Frank "Paris Slim" Goldwasser was a study in blues intimacy and just right to begin the festival. Enjoyed interviewing Bill and Jim between and after their sets, especially making Bill do the legal KMHD ID (he has a lot of radio experience). It was very ecumenical of him to do it since he has a show on KBOO.<br /><br />Somehow, while talking with Jim Miller, the conversation turned to sweeping up leftover endorphins off the stage.<br /><br />Duffy Bishop followed and was Duffy Bishop. Took her (very high-heeled) shoes off and went out into the audience to sing. I asked her about it and she said she likes to go out into the audience because it makes her less nervous. Hard to imagine Duffy getting nervous.<br /><br />She's gone to SF for a few months to sing in the same cabaret show that took her away to Seattle for the previous several months. She had just a few Portland gigs in between. Glad I saw this one.<br /><br />Missed the rest of the festival, but caught some of it on radio. No big names to draw but a very nice festival. I go to that park just to sit and look at the river sometimes. My favorite PDX park.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br /><b><u>……AND PIGNOLI COOKIES, TOO!!!</b></u><br /><br />This just in from Andrew Oliver:<br /><br /><blockquote><em>Mary Sue Tobin and Andrew Oliver are proud to announce a new series in partnership with DiPrima Dolci Italian Bakery and Restaurant: Jazz Bakery @ DiPrima. The series will take place on the First and Third Thursday of the month beginning July 23<br /><br />This Thursday will feature the High Mountain Quartet:<br /><br />Chad McCullough, trumpet and flugelhorn (Seattle)<br />Andrew Oliver, piano (Portland)<br />Eric Gruber, bass (Portland)<br />Tyson Stubelek, drums (Boston)<br /><br />The High Mountain Quartet performs original music alongside repertoire from across the jazz tradition. Their music emphasizes jazz improvisation as a medium of communication, both between the band and the audience and between the band members themselves. Their musical dedication is evident in the intensity of their performances and their intuitive group interaction.<br /><br />Long-time musical associates and friends Tyson Stubelek and Andrew Oliver began playing with Seattle-based trumpeter Chad McCullough at the Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music in 2009, where they were all participants. The musical chemistry was immediately evident and upon Tyson and Andrew’s return to Portland, Chad was invited down from Seattle to augment their long-standing trio with Eric Gruber into a quartet.</blockquote></em><br /><br />I like to stop there and pick up some pignolis after breakfast at Beaterville.

The band who played on half of the tunes on that album was there. John Nastos on sax, Ben Darwish on keys and Damien Erskine on bass. Damien played that amazing solo from <b>Lux</b> but extended it.<br /><br />If there was any doubt about Drew, having spent more time over the past year in New York, dealing with helping offenders than playing drums, you'll be happy to know he is better than ever.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><b><u>DAHLIA DAHLIA DAHLIA</b></u><br /><br />Jay Bozich (King Fader) posted this video of them from 2006.

I know he makes more money singing Delta blues but it's about time for a follow-up in this style.<br /><blockquote><em>I don't give a damn what the purists say/ They wouldn't know the blues if it bit 'em anyway/ This is the blues of the 21st century/ And I don't give a damn if you can't get with me.</blockquote></em><br />Amen.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br /><b><u>BIG FUN, ETC AT THE BLUES FESTIVAL</b></u><br /><br />Where to start…..<br /><br />1. <b><a href="http://bigsamsfunkynation.com">Big Sam's Funky Nation</a></b><br /><br />As good as he was at the festival, he was even better the following night at Roseland. Why? I was wondering myself till I was talking to Tony Ozier who was also on the show. He was hanging in the green room with Sam and company. Sam and the trumpet player were raving to him about the new mouthpieces they had gotten earlier in the day from <a href="http://www.monette.net/newsite/">David Monette.</a><br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib3gL_oCaO_ToUfyf2m337XsuANUUDrfZkPMw5WKwh3XaiTIstwNyfpxdMDzslssTX3jZMjwEtiaMw2Onhf1EOB8lOOsiZKURhMo1d_gaKfRlyf5bOKtwaDPQ_7qH29uqOFQpK-X3jeFo/s1600-h/DSC07055.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib3gL_oCaO_ToUfyf2m337XsuANUUDrfZkPMw5WKwh3XaiTIstwNyfpxdMDzslssTX3jZMjwEtiaMw2Onhf1EOB8lOOsiZKURhMo1d_gaKfRlyf5bOKtwaDPQ_7qH29uqOFQpK-X3jeFo/s320/DSC07055.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br />They found out that Monette's horns and mouthpieces really <b>do</b> make you sound better!<br /><br />I had great fun channelling the legendary R&B radio DJ <b>Hot Rod</b> during my intro to Sam at the festival. Yeah, that's some of The Real Zeal Zod coming out when I do <b>The Bar</b> on <a href="http://kmhd.fm">KMHD.</a><br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <br /><br />2. <b>NW Blues Pianorama</b><br /><br />David Vest, Janice Scroggins, D.K. Stewart and Steve Kerin were all different even though they all play in the blues tradition. I MC'd this one. They each did one fifteeen minute set and then played together at the end.<br /><br />It was jaw-dropping. One after another. What was unspoken was that they all knew they had to be at their best. They were. I hope somone recorded it. <br /><br />I hate to single out any one of them (cuz they were all wonderful and I'm liable to get hit) but Janice's (nearly) solo performance in the second set of the night was sublime…jazz, blues, ragtime and swing. She told the story of American music in one beautiful solo.<br /><br />She gets my vote for most influential musician at the festival. She was everywhere playing with everyone. I lost count. Her gospel set with Linda Hornbuckle, Between Friends with Linda and Duffy Bishop, LaRhonda Steele and others, Sonny Hess' NW Rhythm and Blues Women….I know there's more.<br /><br />Speaking of which….<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br />3. <b>The Return of Sheila Wilcoxson</b><br /><br />She stopped singing locally years ago, and altogether a while back. She did a Koko Taylor tribute during Sonny Hess' set and knocked everyone out, as she always has. Major props to Sonny for persuading her to come back.<br /><br />Sheila tells me she got some home recording gear and just may be surprising us with her own material before long.<br /><br />Welcome back. She was a major talent around here.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <br /><br />4. <b>Note to Karl Denson's road manager.</b><br /><br />I MC'd for Karl. He and the guitar player were a little bit late taking the stage so Stage Manger Jim Miller took his time introducing me. I took my time introducing Karl. At one point Karl's road manger tapped me on the shoulder and gave me the universal sign for "wrap it." <br /><br />Only he didn't mean it. He thought he was telling me to stretch it. I started to rev it up to kick off the set but somebody stoppped me again. They weren't ready. So I stood there and pulled shit out of my ass for another 3 or 4 minutes in front of 20,000 people while Karl plugged in.<br /><br />By then I was taking my cues from Karl. It was pretty funny. Nobody got mad. Usually when I'm talking to 20,000 people I don't get to see them. Of course I enjoyed it. <br /><br />See, when you want someone to stretch you………….oh never mind.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br />5. <b>Among other smiles at the festival</b><br />One of my favorite images of the whole festival was in the nearly-backstage area at the Miller Stage during Sharon Jones <div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijuVGLygcNmw9itD5qljty1L9toRqlJ8kKTcGCLTKXmcte6W3cdVdVExetBXMkuAbnbmwAubXQ6YUiW2Gs2zmKtGzuclnZHMGDq56P3JnN9qSlCp9MQMJ81aSOUOHS_bqgvZhYqZru7W8/s1600-h/DSC07066.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijuVGLygcNmw9itD5qljty1L9toRqlJ8kKTcGCLTKXmcte6W3cdVdVExetBXMkuAbnbmwAubXQ6YUiW2Gs2zmKtGzuclnZHMGDq56P3JnN9qSlCp9MQMJ81aSOUOHS_bqgvZhYqZru7W8/s320/DSC07066.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div> electrifing set….all in a line were Tahoe Jackson, Mary Sue Tobin, Leah Hinchcliff, Deborah Katz and Lauren Sheehan grooving to the music.<br /><br />While onstage, Sharon had lined up some women from backstage.<br /><div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMYqnSlAuVa4-ii0EprFD0n8Vk0gUdurMUXFYgk8seIrgtsYDWCqszgxLce8VXmziRNlfsMaJEo3eRKfwXRGxIeNgOsizpvINxWGz975XaOIlerO8E00fJvC3HPlwITjZFtHTmmr2bxtE/s1600-h/DSC07073.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMYqnSlAuVa4-ii0EprFD0n8Vk0gUdurMUXFYgk8seIrgtsYDWCqszgxLce8VXmziRNlfsMaJEo3eRKfwXRGxIeNgOsizpvINxWGz975XaOIlerO8E00fJvC3HPlwITjZFtHTmmr2bxtE/s320/DSC07073.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div><br />Yes, that's Liv Warfield on the end of the line.

It's <a href="http://radiotime.com/WebTuner.aspx?StationId=88617&">WACK</a>, the best call letters for a station since I tried to get a rich drug dealer to buy a station in Baltimore so I could re-name it WRAT.<br /><br />I found it last night and got hooked. I wish there were some Trinidadians in Portland, they throw awesome cabarets. If you hear of any, please let me know. When I lived in Baltimore,I hung out with some guys from Trinidad who had a real steel band. Yes, of course I did a story on them. They let me sit in one night. They were very nice to me. Didn't even laugh.<br /><br />I found the station <a href="http://radiotime.com">here</a> via my friend Art Levine. You can listen to stations from <b>all over the world.</b> Now that's real world music.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br /><b><u>OPB FINDS A COOL GUY TO MANAGE KMHD!</b></u><br /><br />I'm not going to get in trouble and spill all the beans before they make a public statement but I got wind of their choice last week. I visited the site of his current station and did a big <b>WOW!!</b> I thought, this is going to be <b>fun!</b><br /><br />If he does the things here that he's doing there, we're in for a great ride. Found out he's heard my show and likes it, too. So I'm hoping <b>The Bar</b> stays open.<br /><br />He gets to town in three weeks.<br /><br />Can't wait to meet him. I'll have more to say when they make it official. But maybe I've said too much, haven't said enough.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br /><b><u><a href="http://waterfrontbluesfest.com">BLUES FESTIVAL</a> WEEK!!!!!!!!!</b></u><br /><br />I don't know about you but I've been finding that people are more excited about it this year. Maybe it's the crappy economy, or the Oregon summer, but I'm glad to see it. Spirits seemed to be a little bit down. Not this year.<br /><br />When I posed the question on FB, <a href="http://myspace.com/internationalmalefunkypo">Int'l Male's</a> waggish Adam McIsaac said, "More people have the blues this year." Others said things like <b>"totally pumped!!!"</b><br /><br />Tip of the hat to KINK and KMHD's Steve Pringle who has the difficult job of assigning the (unpaid) MC's. Everybody wants to MC for their favorites. I am thrilled to get to intro <a href="http://bigsamsfunkynation.com">Big Sam's Funky Nation</a> on Sunday.<br /><br />I'll also be introducing Ken DeRouchie, who will have the spectacular LaRhonda Steele singing with him, also Sonny Hess's all-star NW Blues Women, <b>AND</b> Karl Denson.<br /><br />If you haven't gone to the Candlelight to see LaRhonda's regular Thursday nights, you're missing out. I mean, where else can you hear somebody sing a Spinners song and <b>mean it!</b><br /><br />David Vest axed me to MC the <a href="http://nwbluespianorama"> NW Blues Pianorama</a> show at the Marriott on Thursday night at 10….part of the Festival but separate admission. They've got <b>FOUR</b> piano players this year…David, DK Stewart plus Janice Scroggins and Steve Kerrin who lots of people haven't heard yet.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Loose-Marbles/11899051115">Loose Marbles.</a> I <a href="http://www.oregonlive.com/bluesfest/index.ssf/2009/06/losse_marbles_street_savvy_clu.html">wrote abut them</a> in the tabloid the O gives away at the Festival.

It's like you stepped into a different town. Reminds me of clubs I've been in n the East Coast. Very diverse crowd. That means there are Black folks there. Felt like home. The stage takes up half the space. The whole thing rocks.<br /><br />I ran into a lot of Portland's best musicians there, who just came to dig it and sit in. Liv Warfield was there. She's about to go back out on the road with Prince…she told me the Montreux Jazz Festival is part of the tour. She had to cancel a gig at Jimmy Mak's to do it. Not that there was any question.<br /><br />Rod Nightingale was there, too.

Just means I'm not doing the blog this week. Still, a few things:
<br />
<br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
<br /><b><u>DREW SHOALS DROPPED ME A LINE</b></u>
<br />
<br />We miss him around here, big time.
<br />
<br />He said:
<br />
<br /><blockquote>I s(aw) saxophonist/composer John Ellis over the weekend here in New York. He wrote a Tim Burton-esque jazz opera called "The Ice Siren" about a dream-like, after life love story brought to life (or death) by a string quartet, tuba, vibes, percussion, guitar, tenor sax, and a couple vocalists. The best music I've heard in New York so far.</blockquote>
<br />
<br />Nuff said.
<br />
<br />Wonder when he's coming back to town and running for mayor?
<br />

<br />
<br /><b><u>AND KEITH SCHREINER SAYS, LESS PERSONALLY</b></u>
<br />
<br /><blockquote>Hey guys I wanted to invite all of you out to my first tuesday night back out in the world. I have hidden in the studio for 2 years and its time now to get back out on a regular basis, but I did not want to deal with the cityiots or the brianless masses on fridays and saturday nights, so I opted for a locals kinda night where I dont have to cater to idiots, SO.... every Tuesday night starting on June 16th thats next tuesday, I will be down at east from 8:30pm-12:30am doing what I do, I hope some of you come thru for the first one, it would be great to see you guys and catch up.
<br />Also john Plummer told me there will be happy hour prices or some kind of good deal on drinks as well.....Much rejoicing</blockquote>

So he called. The clip starts with a tune from his wonderful new album <b>Five and Three</b> which is a 2CD set featuring a quintet of him, John Gross and Rob Davis on saxes, Charlie Doggett and Gary Hobbs on drums and Dan Balmer on guitar. The trio is David, Rob Davis and Greg Goebel on piano.<br /><br />Enjoy:<br /><br /><object height="150" width="150"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.humyo.com/E/427843-646233201" /> <embed src="http://www.humyo.com/E/427843-646233201" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="150" height="150"></embed> </object><br /><br />Dropped in to <a href="http://jimmymaks.com">Jimmy Mak's</a> last Friday to have praised heaped upon me for heaping praise on Friesen and band…having encapsulated their album into about 150 words in the O.

I expect reports.<br /><br />It's a new print of The Hustler. In the lobby Brian Casey and Brett White, a bass/trumpet duo will be playing.

blues and boogie-woogie than Sun Ra, but there was just enough to keep the patrons wanting more. I was sitting at the bar, awaiting my turn to read some of Ra's poetry with the <br />band when a lovely, long-haired woman told me how much she loved the Ra David played at the Paul deLay Scholarship Benefit and that she couldn't wait to hear more.<br /><br />I didn't ask her if she liked sweat.<br /><br />David gave them just enough to keep them wanting more. He had given me three to read but when it came time, he told me to read only parts. You don't argue with the band leader. You just do it. I ended up doing more than I thought I would as David directed me to keep reading. I took lines out of order and mixed them all up while David played his "space keys." On <b>This World Is Not My Home</b> the band repeated each line after I read it.<br /><br />There's supposed to be a recording of it someplace. If you see it below, I got it. If you don't I'll get it. Meanwhile, here is the full text of the Ra poems, including the parts I did <b>not</b> read.<br /><br /><blockquote><em><b><u>"This World Is Not My Home"</u><br />by Sun Ra<br /><br />Is this a planet of life?<br />Then why do people die?<br />This is not life, this is death.<br />Can't you understand?<br /><br />You're only dreaming.<br />You're not real here.<br />You're only dreaming<br />you did all the things<br />you did before you died<br /><br />You're asleep.<br />Wake up before it's too late<br />and you die in a dream.<br /><br />This world is not the real world.<br />It's all illusion. It's not real.<br />Can't you feel that this world is not real?<br />Someone cast a magic spell<br />on the people of planet Earth.<br /><br />If you do right they put you in jail.<br />If you do wrong they put you in jail.<br />You can't win.<br />You got to do something else.<br />You got to get away from here.<br /><br />You make death your master.<br />You're not free.<br />If you're free, why do you bow to death?<br />Is that what you mean by liberty?<br />Stop bowing down to your master called death.<br />If you're free, prove it.<br /><br />Here's what it sounded like:<br /><br /><object height="150" width="150"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.humyo.com/E/427843-621625435" /> <embed src="http://www.humyo.com/E/427843-621625435" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="150" height="150"></embed> </object><br /><br /><br /><br /><u>Cosmic Equation</u><br /><br />Then another tomorrow<br />They never told me of<br />Came with the abruptness of a fiery dawn<br />And spoke of Cosmic Equations:<br /> The equations of sight-similarity<br /> The equations of sound-similarity<br />Subtle Living Equations<br />Clear only to those<br /> Who wish to be attuned<br />To the vibrations of the Outer Cosmic Worlds.<br />Subtle living equations<br />of the outer-realms<br />Dear only to those<br />Who fervently wish the greater life <br /><br /><br /><u>If I Told You</u><br /><br />If I told you , “I am from outer space”, <br />You wouldn’t believe a word I said,<br />Would you? . . .

I'll let them tell the tale:<br /><br /><blockquote>Yesterday we received a surprise in the mail from Judith Cook the founder of Artichoke Music. The package contained a large framed picture of the original Artichoke Logo and this photo of Judith in front of the original Artichoke Music store circa 1971. <br /><br /><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFd8LTg9aPV5HLqwc25zHyou0HmiGHS44uq5f1KsOtxBz_MWhuAtgv7pTy-DRGZJT8w01YX_alXErJgdDgyptepalYE74eUnL8UlzqIR8w27i_Uv-dKPkOHqM0cS2HaEgsedtEGPCrbcw/s1600-h/artichoke.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFd8LTg9aPV5HLqwc25zHyou0HmiGHS44uq5f1KsOtxBz_MWhuAtgv7pTy-DRGZJT8w01YX_alXErJgdDgyptepalYE74eUnL8UlzqIR8w27i_Uv-dKPkOHqM0cS2HaEgsedtEGPCrbcw/s320/artichoke.jpg' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0;' /></a> <div style='clear:both; text-align:LEFT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div><br /><br />This gift couldn't have come at a better time. It serves as a reminder of how far we've come and how incredibly important this place really is.<br /> <br />From the beginning of our time here we have felt a huge sense of responsiblity to be good stewards of this place we call Artichoke Music. In recent months we have had serious doubts if we were going to be able to keep the doors open. The combination of record breaking snows at Christmas and the economic downturn nearly brought us to our knees.<br /> <br />We are not out of the woods yet but are feeling a bit more optimistic. We have taken steps to help insure the survival of Artichoke. Last month we moved all of the operations of the school and the concert space back into the store. The non profit, Artichoke Community Music, is now a foundation. You won't experience anything different as a result of these changes but we believe this will help the store survive and will give us an even better way to expand on the non-profit mission of "preserving and promoting the folk music tradition".</blockquote><br /><br />Speaking of the Artichoke family, Kate Power and Steve Einhorn are doing Tuesdays at Airplay Café...a <b>Happy Hour and Singalong</b>.

Somebody tell my body I've had enough of the flu, already.<br /><br />How bad? I had tickets to <a href="http://thirdangle.org">Third Angle</a> last Friday. I was sitting with a friend during a rare few moments out of the house in the past couple of weeks. She said, "You can't go, you're sick." I said ok, and coughed.<br /><br />Monday I met with Lynne Clendenin, head of <a href="http://opb.org">OPB</a> radio. She's having one-on-ones with all the <a href="http://kmhd.fm">KMHD</a> DJs prior to the move from Mt. Hood Community College. After the meeting, I went downstairs to say hello to my friend Spud Berry who took one look at me and said, "You look like shit."<br /><br />That's how bad.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><b><u>IT'S OFFICIAL KMHD MOVES TO OPB IN JULY</b></u><br /><br />Last week the Mt. Hood Community College board voted to take the deal. As of July 1, KMHD will be operated by OPB. Things got a little ugly toward the end, with a few disgruntled MHCC employees trying to fight the deal, and not doing a very good job, given that everyone knew their arguments were self-serving. <br /><br />OPB is working out the details and hiring someone to run the station on a day-to-day basis. There is a newly built studio with a new-er board. It's still up in the air whether enough work will be done enough in the next seven weeks to actually begin broadcasting from OPB on July 1, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was sitting in the new studio on Saturday July 4. Unless they decide to not include me. Hey, it's broadcasting.<br /><br />I know I speak for 90% of the DJs when I say that we all hope that Calvin Walker is included in the management of the station. There's no question that he was always on the side of common sense.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <br /><br />Cough cough<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br /><b><u>THE RETURN OF DAVID VEST---FRIDAY</b></u><br /><br />David Vest, who you have read about and heard on this blog will be at Duff's Garage on Friday, May 22 with the Willing Victims and the Mythocratic Transformation Horns<br />plus special guest Chris Miller on guitar (formerly with Marcia Ball & Irma Thomas)<br />and other surprise guests!<br /><br />Yes, doing some Sun Ra!<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br /><b><u>TRY THIS WITH NEW EARS</b></u><br />I got hired at KCET TV in Los Angeles not long after this tune came out.

It's also one of 10 finalists in two of the competitions within the festival: Amazon and The Film Board of Canada.<br /> <br />They tell me: <br /><blockquote>Based on a short story by Darrell Williams, "Walter Ate a Peanut" explores the complexity of relationships, the notion of truth, abuse, codependency and the strengths and liabilities of the family structure and generational resonances and patterns. It is, of course, a comedy.</blockquote><br /><br />Wanna see it?<br /><br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UvCBSEfxI_c&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UvCBSEfxI_c&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />The Legs will also be at <a href="http://tonystarlight.com">Tony Starlight's</a> (say what?) on Saturday, May 30.
