Dickey Betts was a legendary figure and deserved a legendary tribute after his death at 80. Bob and Bill dedicated the entire show to the original guitarist in the Allman Brothers Band.
Bill welcomed his sister-in-law, Becky Lettelleir, and her daughter, Amy, to the studio, and played a long-distance tribute to Piqua compadre Joe Napora on the day of his milestone birthday.
Bill couldn’t contain his excitement about the Jayhawks concert announcement, while Bob paid birthday tributes to Richard Thompson and Mike Ness (Social Distortion).
We looked ahead to Opening day of the baseball season and looked back the standout shows by Rhiannon Giddens and Beth Bombara, plus a day spent at the farm of Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler of Over the Rhine.
Bob went on and on about the live bull riding he saw at the Roadrunner roadhouse in New River, Arizona, and backed it up with BS&B-appropriate music about cowboys, bulls, and the West. To quote Bob Wills: Ahhh-Haaa!
Bob pays a belated tribute to Mojo Nixon, the nationally known subversive singer, songwriter and radio personality who did a stint on WEBN and lived in the Cincinnati suburbs, who died last month.
Bill reprised his successful formula of the previous week: Songs from 1980s’ teen movies, unusual cover tunes and a sampling of new music from known and unknown artists.
Welcome to Coverspalooza ’24, a spontaneous outbreak of cover songs that popped up during a blizzard of texting during the show. Who doesn’t love a good rendition of a great song?
Bob wished Magic Sam a happy birthday before launching into a nearly two-hour lovefest in honor of Valentine’s Day, including an Almost Poetry Corner dedicated to “This Tornado Loves You.”
Bob and Bill were still basking in the glow of the anniversary shows and a visit from The Montvales during this week’s effort that featured more talking than music. But they did pay tribute to the 60th anniversary of The Beatles arrival in America with “All My Loving.”
