1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,160 hope that Peter Schickley can pull us into the ending of Fun Drive this next hour. We need to count on our listeners, and we'll also count on Peter Schickley. 2 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,060 You can count on me. Here's the theme. 3 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:37,340 Hello there, I'm Peter Schickley, and this is Schickley 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. 4 00:00:37,940 --> 00:00:46,820 And on this special Membership Drive edition of the show, I'd like to give special thanks for the fact that our bills are paid by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting 5 00:00:46,820 --> 00:00:54,540 and also by this terrific radio station and its members, which means you. And if it doesn't mean you, you ought to do something about that. 6 00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:07,340 You know, after a hard day of doing whatever it is I do, I like to settle down in front of the fireplace, turn on the VCR with the two-hour cassette showing logs burning, 7 00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:18,100 put my feet up on the dog and crack open my face, and I'm ready to go to bed. The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. In the Edward Fitzgerald translation, of course. 8 00:01:18,660 --> 00:01:30,040 I prefer the fourth edition of 1879. It's more graceful and, let's face it, a lot closer to the original. And I guess my favorite place is the part that goes, 9 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:41,120 A book of verses underneath the bough, A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, And thou beside me singing in the wilderness, O wilderness, where paradise enounds. 10 00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:41,400 Enow. 11 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:54,200 Enow is a poetical word meaning enough. It's used when you mean enough, but you want it to rhyme with bow and thou. And I've taken the second line of that verse as the title of today's show. 12 00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:04,180 A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and thou. These are a few of my favorite things. Although I must say, when it comes to the first one, 13 00:02:04,220 --> 00:02:16,420 that although I enjoy a glass of good wine as much as the next North Dakotan, I don't find myself fantasizing. about wine, the way I do about the malted milks at the drugstore on the square in Jackson, Wyoming. 14 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:28,960 Be that as it may, our first suite is called A Jug of Wine. It contains three grape-related songs, the first of which is in German. I won't read all of the words, but they start, 15 00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:41,040 Go and order the best wine, Away with the cold, with serious and melancholy thoughts. You are surrounded here by friends, And our glasses shall be filled with gladness. Here comes the first. 16 00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:46,760 Long live all beautiful eyes. I'll be back in about eight minutes. 17 00:03:43,230 --> 00:03:49,870 I don't like a sweet kiss that unites true love and youth. 18 00:03:50,070 --> 00:04:14,610 If not for the long end of friendship, if not for the long end of friendship, if not for the long end of friendship, if not for the long end of friendship, 19 00:04:14,610 --> 00:04:25,670 I can prove that the heart of the greatest man, the Syrah, tells you, if not for the brotherly joke of the stranger with the great mouse, 20 00:04:27,170 --> 00:04:32,710 the hope of the young girl, the joy of the young girl's lover, 21 00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:41,650 the old faithfulness of the German breast, gather together here and give me a kiss. 22 00:04:44,610 --> 00:04:53,590 the old faithfulness of the German breast, gather together here and give me a kiss. 23 00:05:08,060 --> 00:05:10,200 Kisses sweeter than wine. 24 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:27,280 Kisses sweeter than wine. When I was a young man and never been kissed, I got to thinking over what I had missed. 25 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:39,580 Got me a girl, I kissed her and she was mine. Then, oh Lord, I kissed her again. Oh, kisses sweeter than wine. 26 00:05:45,090 --> 00:05:56,460 Kisses sweeter than wine. He asked me would I marry and be his sweet wife and we would be so happy all of our life. 27 00:05:56,700 --> 00:06:08,600 He begged and he pleaded like a natural man, I gave him my hand. Oh, kisses sweeter than wine. 28 00:06:14,190 --> 00:06:16,490 Kisses sweeter than wine. 29 00:06:18,940 --> 00:06:31,920 I worked mighty hard and so did my wife, working hand in hand to make a good life. Corn in the field and wheat in the bin, I was, oh Lord, the father of twins. 30 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:44,640 Oh, kisses sweeter than wine. Oh, kisses sweeter than wine. 31 00:06:51,230 --> 00:06:52,030 We hipp niet? 32 00:06:52,030 --> 00:07:05,110 Our children numbered just about four. 33 00:07:05,370 --> 00:07:15,190 They all had sweethearts, they're knockin' on the door. They all got married, they didn't hesitate. I was, oh Lord, the grandmother of eight. 34 00:07:15,610 --> 00:07:27,830 Oh, kisses sweeter than wine. Kisses sweeter than wine. 35 00:07:30,330 --> 00:07:36,990 Now we are old and ready to go. We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago 36 00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:40,410 We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain 37 00:07:40,410 --> 00:07:49,270 But, oh lord, we'd do it again Oh, kisses sweeter than wine 38 00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:56,990 Oh, kisses sweeter than wine 39 00:07:56,990 --> 00:08:04,720 Kisses sweeter than wine 40 00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:18,880 Rosy wine and ruddy cheek Turn by turn I love, I love 41 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,820 Yet from each to know I seek 42 00:08:22,050 --> 00:08:34,539 Which the best will prove Which the best will prove Tell me which is truly mine Ruddy cheek or rosy wine 43 00:08:34,539 --> 00:08:37,500 Tell me which is truly mine 44 00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:41,299 Ruddy cheek or rosy wine 45 00:08:43,020 --> 00:08:50,430 As I taste the ruby juice Come are all my cares 46 00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:51,010 My cares 47 00:08:51,010 --> 00:08:59,550 Monarchs ne'er could me induce States to change with theirs States to change with theirs 48 00:09:01,090 --> 00:09:13,710 Then I think more truly mine Generous friend, the rosy wine Then I think more truly mine Generous friend, the rosy wine 49 00:09:17,710 --> 00:09:22,850 As I gaze on beauty's face Trouble fills my breast 50 00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:23,370 Trouble fills my breast 51 00:09:23,370 --> 00:09:32,630 At the faults that in my place Others may find rest Others may find rest 52 00:09:33,770 --> 00:09:42,530 Tell me which is truly mine Ruddy cheek or rosy wine Tell me which is truly mine 53 00:09:42,530 --> 00:09:46,970 Ruddy cheek or rosy wine 54 00:09:47,850 --> 00:09:59,060 Wine is tongueless, honest, fair Ready to release Ready to release Suffering soul from carking care 55 00:09:59,060 --> 00:09:59,340 Ready to release 56 00:09:59,340 --> 00:10:09,400 Woman may deceive Woman may deceive Spite of all their sweets I'll sip 57 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,220 Rosie wine and ruddy lip 58 00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:15,220 Spite of all their sweets I'll sip 59 00:10:15,220 --> 00:10:19,620 Rosie wine and ruddy lip 60 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,620 Rosie wine and ruddy lip 61 00:10:27,420 --> 00:10:30,140 Rosie wine and ruddy lip Rosie wine and ruddy lip 62 00:10:30,140 --> 00:10:40,960 A Jug of Wine We began with something by Telamon. It was a drinking song from 24 serious and light-hearted odes. 63 00:10:41,260 --> 00:10:42,060 It was a drinking song from 24 serious and light-hearted odes. 64 00:10:42,060 --> 00:10:54,320 And then The Weavers From The Weavers greatest hits singing Kisses Sweeter than Wine. And then finally The King's Singers singing Let Maids Be False, 65 00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:07,280 so wine by true it says by true seems to me it should be be true but that's what it says and that was by Sir George Martin who died in 1916 so I guess he 66 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:17,600 isn't the one who worked with the Beatles now I've done something special for today's show I've composed a piece of music especially for this program hey 67 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:27,300 how often does that happen on your typical radio show huh what it is is a round and it's a four-part round you see I made it four parts because the 68 00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:38,140 four parts represent the four sources of funding in public radio corporation foundation government and membership the listeners so you can't hear the complete 69 00:11:38,140 --> 00:11:50,840 piece as it's meant to be heard without all four parts do you see the the symbolism there it takes all well you get it anyway here's how it goes I'll get my pitch from the authentic instrument here 70 00:11:53,820 --> 00:11:55,920 so here's the melody 71 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:03,960 every dollar counts every dollar counts 72 00:12:04,260 --> 00:12:10,000 yes now I hope you'll listen carefully to that and try to learn it because it 73 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:17,420 won't be complete without you the listener every dollar counts every 74 00:12:17,420 --> 00:12:19,580 dollar counts 75 00:12:19,820 --> 00:12:32,540 yes now what I want to hear from you today is this one is what I want to hear you to do is see if I can find some other people around the station to sing it with me. It may not be that easy because everyone's very busy manning and womaning the telephones right now, 76 00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:43,820 but I'm going to try. In the meantime, here's someone who can tell you how to get rid of that pesky extra cash you have lying around the house. Peter Shickley here with the middle segment of 77 00:12:43,820 --> 00:12:51,380 today's Shickley Mix. This show is called A Jug of Wine, A Loaf of Bread, and Thou. Now, I'm afraid 78 00:12:51,380 --> 00:12:57,960 that I haven't had much success in finding singing partners here. Everybody's extremely... 79 00:12:58,820 --> 00:13:11,510 Oh my goodness, it's the phone. Hello? Hello, can I talk to the host? This is Peter Shickley. Hey, I just want to tell you how much I love your program. It's really great. Well, thank you very 80 00:13:11,510 --> 00:13:22,390 much. Seriously, I think it's probably the best thing on radio today. Or not even just today, the best thing on radio ever. Well, I appreciate that. And I also want to say that I've got a very 81 00:13:22,390 --> 00:13:22,730 good friend here. He's a great guy. He's a great guy. He's a great guy. He's a great guy.

Bye now. Goodbye. Well, I think that's the first time I've ever sung a round with somebody over the phone. 90 00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:47,350 Nice guy. But that's still only two out of the four parts. I hope I can find some other people so we can hear the whole thing. In the meantime, we've covered a jug of wine. Let's move on to a 91 00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:58,110 loaf of bread. Bread, of course, can stand for food in general, which is why I'm here. What it does in the title of our next suite, A Loaf of Bread. This suite comes from another 92 00:14:58,110 --> 00:15:05,550 shickly mix program called You Are, and you sing about what you eat. It has three numbers and lasts about nine and a half minutes. 93 00:15:09,690 --> 00:15:22,370 Is it worth the waiting for? If we live till 84, all we ever get is cruel wealth. Every day we say our prayer. Will they change the bill of fare? Still we get the bill of fare. Will they change the bill of fare? Will they change the bill of fare? 94 00:15:22,370 --> 00:15:30,690 The same old cruel wealth. There's not a cross, not a crumb. Can we find? Can we beg? Can we borrow 95 00:15:30,690 --> 00:15:39,010 a catch? But there's nothing to stop us from getting a thrill when we all close our eyes 96 00:15:39,010 --> 00:15:51,450 and imagine food, glorious food, pork, sausage, and mustard. 97 00:15:51,450 --> 00:16:00,730 Whoa, we're in the mood. Cold jelly and custard. Cool. 98 00:16:01,190 --> 00:16:08,330 Peas, pudding, and saveloys. What next is the question? 99 00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:21,570 Great gentlemen have a voice.

Glorious food! 110 00:17:57,350 --> 00:18:09,130 What is it we give for?
