It’s Thanksgiving week. While Bob showed up for duty, Bill was off getting ready for the big event. We’re told he was hand-picking each cranberry to be used in his secret sauce recipe. Bob was thankful that his good friend Jim Borgman (yes, that Jim Borgman) was in town and free to come by the studio. We’re thankful for such a great show.
Bob was back in the saddle after an extra extended break from his radio duties. Some say he was receiving karate lessons from Elvis at a secret location in Sri Lanka. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t. All we know is that we’re glad he’s back.
Bill paid tribute to John Kelly one of his best friends who died earlier in the week. But there was also some good news. Bob and Bill’s railing against texting and driving seems to be working as fewer Cincinnatians are doing it.
Bill has returned from Florida, the ancestral home of his wife. Bob recounts his brush with greatness when he had his picture taken with the Alvin brothers. Also, Mark Purdy, former Cincinnati Enquirer sports editor and one time colleague of Bob and Bill, stops by the studio for a chat.
Sadly, Bill was missing from tonight’s show because who doesn’t crave a Florida vacation in the middle of July. However, Bob keeps the eye rolls to a minimum as he endeavors to persevere by honoring Johnny Winter who recently passed away.
We pick up this week’s show already four songs in. But when Bob tells you what those four songs were, you’ll realize how eclectic Blue Snakes & Banjos really is. That’s part of our charm and the reason you love the show so much.
This was indeed a special show as Bill was celebrating the 45th anniversary of his high school graduation. Unfortunately, the beginning of this show as well as the second half have been lost to posterity.
In addition to paying tribute to lyricist Jerry Goffin, who was Carole King’s first husband and songwriting partner, Bob and Bill opened up the show to listeners. The BS&B faithful sent in the names of the songs they heard the last time they were in a car.
Can you hear me now? Bill has nothing but microphone problems, but Bob, being the stand-up guy he is, shares his mic. It’s a good thing he shaved extra close this morning.
