00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:12,380
This is WIAA Interlochen, 88.7 FM, WIAB Mackinac City, 88.5 FM, and WICV East Jordan Charlevoix, 100.9 FM.

2
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:22,300
The listener-supported classical music service of the Interlochen Center for the Arts. Have a wonderful Tuesday evening, and thanks for listening to Interlochen Public Radio. The time is 6 o'clock.

3
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,020
That's easy for you to say. Here's the theme.

4
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:53,760
Hello there, I'm Peter Shickley. And this is Shickley Mix, a program dedicated to the proposition that all musics are created equal. Or as Duke Ellington put it, if it sounds good, it is good.

5
00:00:54,440 --> 00:01:03,040
And it is good to be able to report that our bills are being paid by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, by the National Endowment for the Arts,

6
00:01:03,220 --> 00:01:12,540
and by this very radio station, where I'm provided with a real, one-of-a-kind studio space. Our program is distributed.

7
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:21,740
All over the place, by PRI, Public Radio International. As I was saying, on another edition of Shickley Mix,

8
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:30,980
before I was rudely interrupted by the fact that the program is only an hour long, rather than the five-hour format I originally proposed,

9
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:42,800
which, of course, was shot down by the typically Philistine powers-that-be, who said something like, now we all know that this is a very sophisticated town,

10
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:55,080
but if we distribute the show to other places, I think you'll find that there might be a few listeners who wouldn't stay tuned for the entire five hours. And it would be a shame, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

11
00:01:55,300 --> 00:02:07,880
Well, I know coded messages when I hear them. What they're really saying is, we want to make sure we have the time to run that 12-part series on Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, and that new British quiz show called,

12
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:20,860
WHAT?! YOU DON'T KNOW THAT, YOU STUPID TWIT?! Well, you do what you can do. Anyway, as I was saying, there is probably no dance that has remained popular as long,

13
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:33,380
and has influenced concert music as much as the waltz. Certainly the minuet had a tremendous presence in non-dance music, but I don't think it was popular for as long a time as the waltz has been,

14
00:02:33,540 --> 00:02:44,280
and I also don't think that there was as much range of expression among minuets as there has been among waltzes. Today, I'm going to talk about the minuet, Today's show is called Beyond the Blue Danube,

15
00:02:44,420 --> 00:02:55,460
and we're going to see how the long and graceful arm of the waltz reaches into areas of music not written to be danced to. Let's begin with a trio of concert waltzes for piano.

16
00:02:55,740 --> 00:03:05,780
They all have the word waltz in their title or subtitle, but they also all show the influence of kinds of music appreciated by people on the lower rungs of society.

17
00:03:06,260 --> 00:03:17,820
People whom my wife's English grandparents might have described as, not quite, not quite nice. Although they might be performed in a concert hall, these pieces move the waltz out of the ballroom

18
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:28,120
and into places where you have to be careful when you're dancing not to bump into the pool table. For the third piece, by the way, I have to hoist the very old LP alert.

19
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:41,280
This album is so old it says unbreakable on the label, although I know some hi-fi purists who would like to try. What can I tell you? It's a great piece. The three not quite nice waltzes last about,

20
00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:43,520
nine and a half minutes. I'll see you then.

21
00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:33,530
The three not quite nice waltzes began with Scott Joplin, Athena concert waltz played by Joseph Smith.

22
00:13:34,350 --> 00:13:46,950
And then we had a very touching waltz called deja waltz by Tom Constantine. Constantine? He, according to these notes, was an original member of the Grateful Dead.

23
00:13:47,690 --> 00:13:59,550
Also a musical mathematical permutation sort of guy before that. Obviously a very interesting guy and a wonderful little waltz. And then finally, one of my favorite old albums,

24
00:13:59,570 --> 00:14:12,210
as regular listeners know, the barroom piano album of Joe Finger's car. And that was waltz and ragtime. And you may have noticed that was not a purely solo piano,

25
00:14:12,210 --> 00:14:22,910
but a piano suite there. Joe Finger's car has bass and drums behind him. My name is Peter Schickely and the show is Schickely Mix from PRI, Public Radio International.

26
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:34,370
Beyond the Blue Danube. Or maybe I should have called this program the wide blue Danube yonder. But then again, maybe not. As I said earlier,

27
00:14:34,590 --> 00:14:45,570
the range of feeling among waltzes is extraordinary from hilarious giddy ecstasy to utter hopeless desolation. I mentioned on that other show,

28
00:14:45,710 --> 00:14:56,370
the one that would have been part of this show if my five hour format hadn't been turned down to make room for another live broadcast of the Ross Ice Shelf Philharmonic.

29
00:14:56,770 --> 00:15:09,590
I mentioned that there are many sad waltzes sometimes even called that that's not true of most other dances. You don't find Joey D getting us out on the floor to dance to a twist tree.

30
00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:20,450
East. Our next suite, can. Consists of three pieces that are not called waltzes but have a waltz like feeling and not just because they're in triple time in the first number.

31
00:15:20,570 --> 00:15:33,210
It's mainly the umpapa accompaniment that is so characteristic of most waltzes in the second piece. It's the feeling of graceful turning turning in the air in this case since we're dealing with a dragonfly,

32
00:15:33,370 --> 00:15:43,370
a nightingale and a bat. The third song has some nice variations on the umpapa pattern. Uh, by the way, when I say umpapa,

33
00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:55,650
I just mean the accompaniment pattern in which the bass part plays on the first beat and one or more higher parts play on the second and third beats. I don't mean to imply a poker band type of sound.

34
00:15:56,070 --> 00:16:07,170
In fact, this third song is about as far away from poker bands as you can get. This is three, four time at its most laid back. Here are three sort of waltzes.

35
00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:09,590
I'll be back in less than 10 minutes.

36
00:16:14,740 --> 00:16:23,720
I've been to the doctor. He says I'm all right.

37
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:37,180
I know he's lying. I'm losing my side. He should have examined the eyes of my mind.

38
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:56,200
When he 20 vision and walking around with my eyes wide open,

39
00:16:56,220 --> 00:17:05,079
I lay in my bed. If it wasn't for dying, I wish I was dead.

40
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:17,599
But this is my punishment. Death is too kind. 20, 20 vision and walking around.

41
00:17:18,339 --> 00:17:33,000
You just couldn't know her the way that I do.

42
00:17:35,340 --> 00:17:44,020
You said, say that she's wicked and maybe it's true. But there's one thing I do know.

43
00:17:44,380 --> 00:17:52,160
She's no longer my 20, 20 vision and walking round.

44
00:17:53,820 --> 00:18:06,070
I've lost her. I've lost her. Oh,

45
00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:17,010
what will I do? I'll bet you're not happy. Yeah, she's there with you. Oh,

46
00:18:17,010 --> 00:18:27,270
The eyes of your heart will have trouble like mine. The eyes of your heart will have trouble like mine. 20, 20 vision and walking round blind.

47
00:18:29,510 --> 00:18:33,290
20, 20 vision and walking.

48
00:18:33,570 --> 00:19:13,740
When she saw me,

49
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:21,150
he set me free. I loved her, I loved her. I kept her company.

50
00:19:21,150 --> 00:19:56,740
It's exciting.

51
00:19:56,740 --> 00:20:01,660
It's great.

52
00:21:05,750 --> 00:23:19,640
It's really true

53
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:31,020
How nothing matters No mad mad world And no mad hatters No one's pitching cause there ain't no batters In Coconut Grove

54
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,860
Don't bar the door There's no one coming The oceans roar

55
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:38,800
We'll dull the drumming

56
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:50,840
Of any silly thoughts or city way The ocean breeze has cooled my mind The salty days are hers

57
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:51,700
And I'm not going to be

58
00:23:51,700 --> 00:23:53,320
In mine just to do

59
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,880
What we want her

60
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:00,700
Tonight we'll find a doom

61
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:02,200
That's ours

62
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,960
And softly she will speak

63
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,060
The stars until

64
00:24:06,060 --> 00:24:07,160
Sun up

65
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:20,240
It's all from having Someone knowing Just which way your head is blowing Who's always warm

66
00:24:20,580 --> 00:24:24,660
Like in the morning In Coconut Grove

67
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:40,770
The ocean breeze

68
00:24:40,770 --> 00:24:41,230
Is cooling my mind

69
00:24:41,230 --> 00:24:47,570
The salty days are hers In mine just to do

70
00:24:47,570 --> 00:24:49,130
What we want her

71
00:24:49,130 --> 00:24:56,660
Tonight we'll find a doom That's ours

72
00:24:56,660 --> 00:24:58,380
And softly she will speak

73
00:24:58,380 --> 00:25:01,600
The stars until sun up

74
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:07,960
It's really true

75
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:19,110
How nothing matters No mad mad world No one's pitching cause there ain't no batters In Coconut Grove

76
00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:21,290
Don't bar the door

77
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:56,320
Three sort of waltzes Began with Jimmy Martin And the Sunny Mountain Boys Doing 2020 Vision I guess I said Sunny Mountain Boys

78
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:08,440
Cause we've heard so much Earl Taylor and his Stony Mountain Boys On this show Great song 2020 Vision And then we had another installment Of my grand plan

79
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:14,300
To expose regular listeners Of Shickley Mix To the entire Revell audience

80
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:21,980
opera L'Enfant et les Sortilèges, The Child and the Sorcerers. That part was a wistful,

81
00:26:23,260 --> 00:26:35,740
bittersweet section there when the child is out in the garden and he stabbed one of the trees with his knife and the trees start to complain about their wounds and then a dragonfly

82
00:26:35,740 --> 00:26:41,660
comes around and sings, where are you? I'm looking for you. The net, it's caught you.

83
00:26:41,660 --> 00:26:49,000
Oh, you dearest, long and frail, your turquoise, your topaz, the air which loves you misses

84
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:57,380
them less than I. The child had caught a dragonfly earlier and pinned it to the wall. And the

85
00:26:57,380 --> 00:27:03,560
nightingale sings and a bat who's looking for another bat the child had killed comes

86
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:12,080
by. That was Lauren Mizell, by the way, conducting the Orchestre National de la RTF.

87
00:27:13,580 --> 00:27:21,680
And then the last number was the Lovin' Spoonful doing Coconut Grove. Wish I were there right now.

88
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:33,940
By the way, an interesting thing about bluegrass and country tunes in three-four time is that they often have three-bar phrases. Three-bar phrases are extremely unusual

89
00:27:33,940 --> 00:27:43,020
in the popular music of Anglo culture. Unusual in jazz, too. I once wrote a piece for a TV show that was played by an all-American musician. I wrote a piece for a TV show that was played by an

90
00:27:43,020 --> 00:27:53,200
all-star jazz ensemble, and the man on trumpet was Clark Terry. Now, in terms of all-around musicianship, you don't get much better than Clark Terry. But at the first rehearsal, he sort of

91
00:27:53,200 --> 00:28:04,620
flubbed one section, and it was because it was in three-bar phrases. Most people just aren't used to that. He only flubbed it once, I assure you. Four-measure phrases are so common that pre-barred

92
00:28:04,620 --> 00:28:13,000
score paper has four or eight measures to the page. Now, one of the many things I like about country music is that they often add a little bit of a rhythm to it. And I think that's a good thing.

93
00:28:13,020 --> 00:28:24,820
He had an extra bar at the end of a phrase before moving on, resulting in the occasional five-bar phrase. But consistent three-bar phrases hardly ever happen except in triple time,

94
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,660
as in 2020 vision.

95
00:28:48,710 --> 00:29:04,480
Three beats in a measure, three measures in a phrase. Let's face it, I'm partial to things in

96
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:13,080
three. So how far out can you take a waltz? The first selection in our next suite is marked waltz

97
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:20,680
tempo, and I assume it's written in three, but I'm not sure how to count it just from listening to it. It's a long way from umpire to umpire.

98
00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:28,760
But it does have a sort of a lilt to it. Sort of as a point of reference, the second number is

99
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:34,960
definitely a waltz, a parody waltz, actually. The third and last piece is called minute waltz,

100
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:42,900
or 3-4 plus or minus one-eighth. That is, every other measure is in 3-4 time, which has six-eighth

101
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:50,680
notes in it, while the intervening measures are in 5-8 or 7-8. This is a piece organized in a highly mathematical way. It's a piece that's not just a piece of paper, but it's a piece of

102
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:56,120
mathematical manner. But the system is manipulated so that the left hand in the seventh measure has

103
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:08,100
a real umpapa in C major. In the context of this style, that's a joke. I call this the take-it-to-the-limit waltz suite. It lasts about five and a half minutes.

104
00:31:35,710 --> 00:31:42,310
Daisy and Lily, lazy and silly, walk by the shore of the waltz.

105
00:31:42,330 --> 00:31:51,070
One grassy sea, talking once more neath a swan-bosom tree. Those castles to rels, those bustles where

106
00:31:51,070 --> 00:31:58,070
swells. Each phone bell of ermine, they roam and determine what fashions have been and what

107
00:31:58,070 --> 00:32:03,490
fashions will be. What tartan leaves born, what crinolines worn.

108
00:32:06,710 --> 00:32:19,110
By queen fetus, palesis of tality blue, like the thin, plaited leaves that the castle crags boo. Of a lour d'affronte on the water-god's land.

109
00:32:19,410 --> 00:32:30,790
Her hair seemed gold trees on the honey-celled sand. When the thickest gold spangles on deep water's scene were like twanging guitar and like cold mandolin.

110
00:32:31,370 --> 00:32:38,190
And the nymphs of great caves with hair like gold waves of Venus or Tarlatine.

111
00:32:38,870 --> 00:32:42,310
Louise and Charlotte, deep-boreas, daughters of the moon.

112
00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:54,330
The nymphs of deep waters. And the nymphs of deep waters. The nymph, Talione, Grisey, the andine, were plaided Victoria and thin Clementine. Like the crinolined waterfalls.

113
00:32:56,610 --> 00:33:02,430
Wood nymphs wear bonnet shawls, elegant parasols floating Marcine.

114
00:33:02,670 --> 00:33:12,210
The Amazons wear boughs of reen of John Quill. Beside the blond lace of the deep falling rill. Through glades like a number.

115
00:33:12,210 --> 00:33:12,290
The school's leer, she's a neat, nice little girl.

116
00:33:12,290 --> 00:33:21,910
They run from and shun the enormous and gold-rayed rustling sun And the nymphs of the fountains descend from the mountains

117
00:33:21,910 --> 00:33:33,350
Like elegant willows on their deep barouche pillows In Kashmir al-Banda, Barrej is a bell Like bells of bright water from Klerus' wood well

118
00:33:33,350 --> 00:33:41,450
Our elegance favouring bonnets of blonde The stars in their apiaries, silks in their aviaries

119
00:33:41,450 --> 00:33:52,910
Seeing them strangle these and the silks fond From their aviaries fanned with each long fluid hand The montose Hispaniols mimic the waterfalls

120
00:33:52,910 --> 00:33:56,290
Over the long and the light summer land

121
00:34:04,370 --> 00:34:08,190
So Daisy and Lily, lazy and silly

122
00:34:08,190 --> 00:34:12,030
Walk by the shore of the warm grassy sea

123
00:34:12,590 --> 00:34:17,409
Talking once more neath a swan bosom tree Rose castles and trees, and trees and trees

124
00:34:17,409 --> 00:34:26,469
To roll those bustles, morels of the shade in their train Hollow, ladies, how vain, hollow

125
00:34:28,230 --> 00:34:33,530
Gone is the sweet swallow, gone Philomel

126
00:34:47,810 --> 00:35:46,390
The Take it to the Limit Waltz Suite.

127
00:35:46,390 --> 00:35:59,190
We began with Arnold Schoenberg, Variations for Orchestra, that was the fourth variation. Pierre Boulez was conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

128
00:35:59,950 --> 00:36:07,570
And then we heard from Fassade, music by William Walton, poem by Edith Sitwell.

129
00:36:07,710 --> 00:36:15,490
That was Peggy Ashcroft narrating the poem and Ricardo Shailly conducting the London Sinfonietta.

130
00:36:15,490 --> 00:36:22,870
Fonietta. Delightful waltz. And then finally from the Waltz Project album again, the Minute Waltz,

131
00:36:22,870 --> 00:36:31,590
or 3-4 plus or minus 1-8th by Milton Babbitt. And all three of those have a real lilt. I think

132
00:36:31,590 --> 00:36:37,610
particularly if you listen to some other music by Babbitt or Schoenberg, you'd see what a waltzy

133
00:36:37,610 --> 00:36:45,540
feel those pieces have. Peter Shickley is the name. Shickley mixes the game from PRI,

134
00:36:45,540 --> 00:36:54,240
Public Radio International. Now it's tidbit time. Triple time tidbit time. We've been wandering

135
00:36:54,240 --> 00:37:00,900
around in the outer provinces of Waltzland. Let's go right back to the capital and hear a good old

136
00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:10,720
fashioned Viennese waltz. Now to continue with the love song, here we have the Viennese waltz

137
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:21,820
type of the Franz Lehar Johann Strauss School conjuring up images of gaily waltzing couples and and , probably, stale champagne drunk from sweaty slippers.

138
00:37:23,660 --> 00:37:31,520
This example is called the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz.

139
00:37:41,420 --> 00:37:52,800
Do you remember the night I held you So tight as we danced To the Wiener Schnitzel Waltz ? The music was gay and the setting was Viennese

140
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:59,780
Your hair was some roses, or, perhaps they were peonies I was blind to your obvious faults

141
00:37:59,780 --> 00:38:01,500
See the bastard who'semment wearing artificial var chords I don't really wanna has evilCoins. But the men inbeanch with some viruiate riding schools of all kinds — why?

142
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:13,720
We danced across the scene to the strains of the Wiener Schnitzel walls. I drank some champagne from your shoe, la la la.

143
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,540
I was drunk by the time I got through, la la la.

144
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:25,820
For I didn't know as I raised that cup, it had taken two bottles to fill the thing up.

145
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,640
It was I who stepped on your dress, la la la.

146
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:43,700
The skirts all came off, I confess, la la la. Revealing for all of the others to see, just what it was that endeared you to me.

147
00:38:52,050 --> 00:39:02,140
I remember the Wiener Schnitzel walls. Your lips were like wine, if you'll pardon the simile.

148
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,860
The music was lovely and quite Rudolf Frimmeli.

149
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,860
I drank wine, you drank chocolate malts.

150
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:16,080
And we both turned quite green to the strains of the Wiener Schnitzel walls.

151
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:34,280
Tom Lehrer, performing with great Elan, the Wiener Schnitzel walls. Okay, for our last suite, we're going to go back out to the suburbs of Waltzville.

152
00:39:34,580 --> 00:39:46,180
If I may be allowed. If I may be allowed to change metaphors in mid-Bettiker. Three instrumental pieces exhibiting various degrees of waltzishness. The first, the most. The second, the least.

153
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:55,960
And the last, the hippest. In fact, we'll call this suite, Three Degrees of Waltzishness. And we'll meet again in something less than nine minutes.

154
00:43:08,380 --> 00:43:09,980
Also the width of this structure is speechlesslythin. Regarding the waltzing of this house, I think that your goodakiness that's within this adding content would just land out.

155
00:43:09,980 --> 00:45:41,860
Buh bye.

156
00:46:31,490 --> 00:48:36,770
Three degrees of waltz-ishness.

157
00:48:37,290 --> 00:48:49,870
Began with They Might Be Giants playing their tune Space Suit. Then we had one of Lou Harrison's Seven Pastorelles, Dennis Russell Davies conducting the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra,

158
00:48:49,870 --> 00:49:01,750
and finally, Jerry Mulligan, the concert jazz band, doing I'm Gonna Go Fishing. Hey, here's another 3-4 country number with three and four bar phrases,

159
00:49:01,910 --> 00:49:08,690
and along with that sort of unusual bar count kind of thing, some beautifully weird harmonizing.

160
00:49:09,090 --> 00:49:15,450
Troubles and trials often betray those

161
00:49:16,170 --> 00:49:26,430
On in the weary Body to stray But we shall walk

162
00:49:27,530 --> 00:49:30,230
Beside the still waters

163
00:49:31,030 --> 00:49:37,050
With a good shepherd Leading the way

164
00:49:39,470 --> 00:49:42,930
Those who have stray words

165
00:49:43,710 --> 00:49:48,110
Sought by the master Be heard by the master

166
00:49:48,130 --> 00:49:52,590
Who once gave his life for the sheep

167
00:49:54,850 --> 00:50:01,550
Out on the mountain still he's searching

168
00:50:02,710 --> 00:50:08,050
Bringing them in for never to keep

169
00:50:10,090 --> 00:50:17,530
Going up home to live in green pastures

170
00:50:17,750 --> 00:50:23,650
Where we shall live and fight evermore

171
00:50:26,050 --> 00:50:37,950
Even the Lord will be in that number When we shall reach that heaven

172
00:50:38,050 --> 00:50:39,090
He's sure

173
00:50:42,440 --> 00:51:16,780
Voice of the stranger

174
00:51:17,570 --> 00:51:20,980
For he would lead us

175
00:51:21,210 --> 00:51:29,200
On to this path Following on with

176
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,180
Jesus our Savior

177
00:51:33,130 --> 00:51:38,800
We shall reach that Country so fair

178
00:51:45,130 --> 00:51:54,430
Living in green pastures Where we shall live and fight evermore

179
00:51:57,460 --> 00:52:10,230
Even the Lord will be in that number When we shall reach that heavenly shore

180
00:52:14,830 --> 00:52:23,510
Green Pastures. Emmylou Harris and Ricky Skaggs just had to get that in. Well, that's about all we have time for now.

181
00:52:24,210 --> 00:52:35,170
There's a lot more that could be said about the influence of waltzes on music in general, but, of course, with this measly one-hour format, we can only skim the surface.

182
00:52:35,790 --> 00:52:48,080
If I had been given the... Hello? Oh, hello, sir. Oh, no, well, of course I didn't mean you.

183
00:52:48,280 --> 00:53:00,620
I just... You know, I just meant the higher-ups in general. I, uh... I'm sure that... What? I can? You mean I could have the five-hour format?

184
00:53:01,180 --> 00:53:02,380
Hey, that's great!

185
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:15,280
When... What do you mean, not... No, no, it's just... I didn't realize that the Ross Ice Shelf has a radio station.

186
00:53:16,720 --> 00:53:28,040
Yeah, no, I understand, but I think, given the choice, I'd rather... I think I'd rather keep the one-hour format and stay here. Because... Uh, sir, could you excuse me just a moment, please?

187
00:53:32,220 --> 00:53:34,000
I just had to get the theme on.

188
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:34,620
It's getting late.

189
00:53:35,820 --> 00:53:47,860
No, I appreciate the offer, but... Yes, that's true. No, I agree. Well, thanks anyway, sir, and, uh... And I'm actually very happy here. Okay, goodbye.

190
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:49,600
Whew.

191
00:53:50,980 --> 00:54:01,320
And, uh, that's Sickly Mix for this week. Our program is made possible with funds provided by... the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, by the National Endowment for the Arts,

192
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:12,020
and by this radio station and its lovable members. And not only that, our program, believe it or not, is distributed by PRI, Public Radio International.

193
00:54:13,860 --> 00:54:26,360
We'll tell you in a moment how you can get an official playlist... of all the music on today's program, with album numbers and everything. Just refer to the program number. This is program 77. And this is Peter Schickely,

194
00:54:26,660 --> 00:54:34,040
saying goodbye and reminding you that it don't mean a thing... if it ain't got that certain je ne sais quoi. Hey, you're looking good. See you next week.

195
00:56:44,690 --> 00:58:11,470
If you'd like a copy of that playlist I mentioned,

196
00:58:11,690 --> 00:58:21,590
