progmom on the air now - post your (straight-ahead) jazz request here!

[progmom]

www.wemu.org

I'm on from now until 2pm eastern.

[Zuni]

1. Hi progmom!

:hi:

How about "Trouble Blues" by the Charles Brown Trio?

[progmom]

2. DAMMIT

I burned a CD of carefully chosen music to remember Andy by....and left it on the stairs at home. :cry:

[Zuni]

4. dedicate the show to his memory

that is second best you could do

[progmom]

48. done

:)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

6. In lieu of that cd...play Stanley Jordan's Angel

and dedicate it

[progmom]

10. yep - thanks.

bettyellen asked for somewhere over the rainbow
i'll play angel
and there's a beautiful song by sheila jordan called "the crossing"...

we'll make it work. :)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

19. Flee as a Bird to the Mountain

Give him a Jazz Funeral

[Misunderestimator]

7. Take ideas from others for music to remember him.

[GOPisEvil]

3. Yay! Back from the store in time!!

:bounce:

[Misunderestimator]

5. YAY!!

Where's my Marianne Faithfull? :loveya:

[progmom]

11. um

you know it's not that i don't love you.
and you know i was thinking of you...


i just...gulp...forgot to find that CD. :cry: sorry.

[Misunderestimator]

13. ...

:cry: *sniff* it's ok... really it is...










:cry:

[progmom]

32. i will buy it and mail it to you

:P

[Misunderestimator]

33. Haha...

Hey, I missed what this is playing now... Who is this singing? I like it.

[Zuni]

34. The first part was really cool and eerie

I dug the beginning of this alot

[progmom]

40. Sheila Jordan

Some nice words of wisdom. :)

[Zuni]

14. Marianne faithful was arrested wearing nothing but a bearskin rug

tripping on acid with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in 1967 at Keith's country house outside London.

Just thought I would throw that into the mix :o

[Misunderestimator]

17. LOL

:spray:

(But what were the police doing at Keith's country house?)

[Zuni]

24. They were tipped off anonymously by someone close to the band

no one knows who to this day (but I half suspect Brian Jones, the late founder, guitarist (as well as multi insturmentalist) of the Stones who was being sidelined by Mick and Keith)

Anyhow, the Police were tipped off that there was a party there and that there were all kinds of drugs. One weird feature is that a Canadian man with a shitload of drugs ended up just being sent back to Canada---no charges pressed and dissappeared.

[Sannum]

21. Wasn't there also a mars bar involved?

:shrug:

[Zuni]

25. not that I know of

[Jack Rabbit]

8. Bessie Smith

I requested this a couple of weeks ago after show was over, so I'll try again.

First choice: Gimme a Pig Foot and a Bottle of Beer.

If the station's censors have a problem with that one, I'll settle for The St. Louis Blues.

[Wetzelbill]

9. you have you're own show?

damn you are awesome.


How about "Tell Me Something Good" by Ronnie Laws?

[bigtree]

12. Requests? Gentle lady, I have Elmore James in my head singing

'The Sky Is Crying' as I watch Dennis creep in.

[Zuni]

15. oooh...I love Elmore James

good call

[immoderate]

16. Hey, Progmom!

OK, been thinking.

First I renew request for Mount Harissa from the Far East Suite, and/or

Con Alma with Diz and Sonny Stitt, where Sonny blows the best tenor solo of his life (as a saxist, I'm sure you already know this.) and/or

Some Dorothy Donegan. She is often overlooked as the (IMO) most Tatumesque of modern pianists. and/or

Whatever, because I always like what you play!:bounce:

--IMM

[Loki]

18. Could you play Charles Mingus for me today.....

"Goodbye Porkpie Hat" in rememberance.

Lee

[progmom]

74. yes

:hi:


i will.

[GOPisEvil]

20. "Here's That Rainy Day" by Jimmy Van Heusen

Please. Thanks.

No matter which version. It's just a gorgeous song.

[progmom]

86. up next

:loveya:

[GOPisEvil]

91. Thank you, sweetie!!

:loveya:

That was a beautiful version.

[Heidi]

22. Any Pat Metheny or Lyle Mayes tunes, progmom?

I fell in love with both of them when they were members of the Texas State University One O'clock Band.

[progmom]

63. oh yeah? did you go to school there?

:hi:

[Heidi]

78. Nope.

I was a jazz groupie in my wayward youth. (Not really a "groupie" in the conventional context, but certainly an admirer in the early 80s.)

[immoderate]

23. "Genuine Tong Funeral" by Carla Bley

It's the most optimistic funeral music I ever heard.

--IMM

[GOPisEvil]

26. Damn you, you made me cry.

:loveya:

[progmom]

42. .

:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

44. I'm going to try to listen from Seattle next week.

Breakfast jazz is a good thing. :)

[Wapsie B]

27. I don't know what songs would fit

but I've always been fond of a New Orleans type funeral setting when remembering someone. Sadness over someone's passing but yet joy knowing that person's good works will carry on.

[progmom]

43. yep - we're done with the mourning

now we'll get to celebrating. :hi:

[Wapsie B]

49. Great program!

:hi:

[immoderate]

28. I didn't know Andy like many of you do...

but you've got me crying :cry:

--IMM

[progmom]

73. IMM

:yourock:

[immoderate]

96. Thank you my dear.

And that was a great program.:applause:

--IMM

[progmom]

111. I let you down

I went to play your Ellington track last, but it was a minute too long. I am so sorry. x(

[immoderate]

123. I'll renew it.

Like anyone, I like hearing my requests played, but when you don't get to it, I know lots of reasons you don't. Like you want to get to others who are not such jazz "insiders" as myself, or you want to stick to a groove that my requests don't fit.

Also there's a part of me that says to not make requests, because these are tracks that I already know, and like jazz itself, it's the new and unexpected that makes it worthwhile.

So I'm happy either way. If you couldn't put on a great show without me, I'd be concerned.:loveya:

--IMM

[Zuni]

29. Who is playing Hendrix?

[progmom]

30. stanley jordan

it was NSMA's request

[Zuni]

31. It is very good

:thumbsup:

[Misunderestimator]

35. Ok, I have no idea, but is Andy Irish?

I think I remember reading that here somewhere... In any case, maybe Diana Krall singing Danny Boy?

[GOPisEvil]

36. Are you trying to turn me into a blubbering idiot?

:P

[Zuni]

38. I don't want my cat to see me cry

[GOPisEvil]

41. No one here to see me cry like a baby.

Man, "...Rainbow" really did it to me. :cry:

[progmom]

54. which CD is that on?

:hi:

[Misunderestimator]

61. "The Chieftains - Tears Of Stone"

(edited yet again...)

[BrotherBuzz]

37. Cast Your Fate to the Wind - by Vince Guaraldi.

Might be appropriate today, besides, it's just a stand-up piece of music in its own right.

[Zuni]

39. I love Vince garaldi

His "Charlie Brown Christmas" Album, no joke, is one of my all time favorite Jazz albums. It is seriously great stuff

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

46. I play that one all year long because I love it so much

[BrotherBuzz]

47. I lived below his house in the sixties

We were treated to afternoon serenades on his electric harpsichord and piano during his practice/warm-up sessions. He bathed the entire valley with love. Great stuff - He died too soon.

[progmom]

80. sounds good to me!

:hi:

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

45. How about some Al DiMeola ,John McGlaughlin or Dave Brubeck(sp?).

[Rabrrrrrr]

50. Miles Davis' "Jell-O Boobs in Aspic Thrombo"

:P

[Zuni]

55. whoa

Even with all that's happened, I'm in a good mood overall. I miss my friend, but I know he's in a good place now. Then progmom went and made me cry, damn her. ;)

[bettyellen]

102. th-t she is.

[GOPisEvil]

106. I have an instrumental version of that song. The lyrics are great I hadn't

heard them in a long time.

Sigh. I'm debating on going suit shopping for next week, or if I'm just going with what I have...

[bettyellen]

[GOPisEvil]

114. I plan to to do a lot of hugging that weekend.

I'm breaking the bank to go, but I have to be there to say good-bye to my friend and celebrate his life with everyone.

Everyone that helped Andy through these last few months has my unending gratitude.

[progmom]

52. That's got a classic Bluenote sound.

--IMM

[Rabrrrrrr]

56. Thanks for the dedication to Andy!

Very progmom hip of you.

[Zuni]

58. that was very progmomic of you, Rabrrrrr

"progmomic" is a new Lounge term for "cool"

[Zuni]

57. I love this New Orleans minor blues-jazz stuff

:yourock: progmom!

[GOPisEvil]

59. BLOODY HELL!!! I've lost the connection and can't get back to the site!

:argh:

[GOPisEvil]

60. OK, problem solved!

x(

[Rabrrrrrr]

65. If you were more resolute and not a terra-ist coddler, you wouldn't have

had that problem.

:P

[GOPisEvil]

66. I was hating us for our freedoms, and then, poof, off went the feed.

I should know better.

[Rabrrrrrr]

69. When you hate America, you hate God Himself, because they are one

and the same. Ya bastahd.

[GOPisEvil]

71. Ya know, I was eating hummus earlier, too.

Man, if that doesn't make me an Amurka-hatin' terraist, I don't know what does.

[Rabrrrrrr]

76. Why don't you just move back to Iraq to be with your people?

It's ovious there's nothing in this country that you like.

:harumph:

:selfrighteousindignation:

[GOPisEvil]

77. You forgot to tell me to go worship Saddam Hussein.

:tsk:

[Rabrrrrrr]

82. I just took that as an assumption that you already are

:duh:

[Lannes]

62. How about some Greg Osby?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

67. Really excellent jazz funeral set, progmom

:thumbsup:

[progmom]

68. thanks

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

84. Right back atcha

:loveya:

MisU says you need to make a trip out west on bidness

[progmom]

121. Yeah - I am working on that.

It's a lot easier to get people to spring for a trip to NY...but I will see what I can do. ;)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

89. Cast your fate to the wind is a classic

I can never get enough of that

[Zuni]

94. I just read on WEMU that Progmom is into Boxing

Her profile indicated that is what she is into


:D

[Misunderestimator]

95. Oooooooooooh.... really?

:think: :D

[Zuni]

101. I wonder

if she learned the art growing up on the tough streets of Upstate New York :D

[Misunderestimator]

104. Or the other side of the tracks...

in the Finger Lakes. :D

[Zuni]

105. LOL

:spray:

[GOPisEvil]

100. Put 'em up!

[Zuni]

103. are you saying

that progmom reminds you of Mike Tyson? :o

[bettyellen]

107. not wrestling?

:cry:
well, it's swe-ty -nd brut-l. cool.

[Zuni]

108. I think she thinks that WWE has sold out lately

it just isn't like the old days. She misses the Ultimate Warrior, although his political commentary has sustained her in these tough times :P

[Misunderestimator]

109. Are you seriously missing your A's?

That's funny as hell! :rofl:

And yeah... wrestling seems more her style... I imagine... imagine... um... huh?

[bettyellen]

115. -lso my cues + the lowest #, but not 0. -nd -lso my l-st letter.

c-n't spell out 0. i guess.
she seems like - wrestler to me too. i guess bec-use i've seen her rolling -ound enough. -nd th-t's just how these things st-rt. :rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

116. LOLOL...

You do well for missing all that! :rofl: And to think I was pissed when I lost the left-shift key on my other laptop.

[bettyellen]

124. i w-s cutting -nd p-sting my A 's

And i Almost posted something reAlly nAughty thAt wAs somehow on my clipboArd.
no more thoughtless cutting And pAsting for me.
:blush:

[progmom]

110. I need to update my profile

When I wrote that, I was training with a professional boxer (I got to touch his title belt and everything!). It was a short-term obsession of mine. :blush:

[Zuni]

113. I keep picturing you in a Rocky-like setting

drinking egg whites, running up the steps of that building in Philly, listening to "Eye of the Tiger" while bludgeoning people with your deadly fists of prog-fury :D

[progmom]

120. um....

:spray: :rofl:

[bigtree]

97. great program progmom!

nice break. now, back to the real world. ugh!

[Loki]

98. Progmom, that was an awesome program

and a beautiful tribute to Andy. Thank you.

Lee

[sundog]
