Lords and Ladies... I'll be appearing on Doug Schulkind's "Give the Drummer Some" radio show on WFMU FM in the NYC metro area tomorrow Friday 10/18 during the 9-12 slot. For all of you out of range, the show will be simulcast on wfmu.org and archived in perpetuity thereafter. Along with discussing Buckley life and art, we will be spinning some super rarified wax. Are you there?

Congrats, Oliver, on the Holman course at Bard. I went to Bard in the early '70s -- one year as a student, two as a -- um -- resident. Majored in LSD and orgies and excelled in both. In my spare time studied with the stupendous jazz trombonist Roswell Rudd (musicology and improvisation) and fab poet Robert Kelly (lit). It was heaven on earth.

From punmaster's music wire: After picking up the new You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx 3-DVD release, I was completely surprised to find the great hipster Lord Buckley as a contestant on one of the shows. Groucho was taken with him, and he had a chance to show off his suave wildness (toned down a bit) . Lord was of course in vaudeville and later a hip night club comedian. The same episode featured actor Gary Cooper's 83 year old mother. These 18 episodes span most of the years of the show and were never in syndication. If you love Groucho, this set is a must. Pick it up here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000ALFZ0/punmastercom More on Lord Buckley: http://www.lordbuckley.com

Yes, I made that same delightful discovery when I rented the first disc of the Groucho set about a week ago. The Lord does a bit of the Marc Antony "Hipsters, flipsters and finger-poppin' daddies" oration for Groucho, and also some nice Satchmo-style scatting. Another show on the same disc features Ernie Kovacs doing a guest shot.
