Inkwell: Authors and Artists

    
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?
  

    
Great name for a radio show!

Much rare or little heard Buckley packed into 2 1/2 hours of air time.
Dig and thou shall be dug!
  

    
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.  
  

    
Beloveds Esteem Aficinados

Jason Eisenberg is Lord Buckley!
He resurfaces Saturday 1/18/03 @8pm at the Bowery Poetry Club--308
Bowery & Bleecker with the David Amram Trio.

I will be introducing the event and maybe reading from "Dig Infinity!
The Art & Life of Lord Buckley" (named one of '02s 8 best by Baltimore
Sun literary poobak David Pakenham.

This should be a diamond-headed gassser. See u there.
  

    
Nice!
  

    

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.

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.
  

    
Cool!
  

    
Daddy-o.
  

    
If YouTube had no other excuse for existing, I think this would do:

That's so great.
  

    
They're cracking up before they even start talking.
