Bob did a deep dive into the famous and not-so-famous greats of the Bakersfield Sound in honor of Buck Owens’ birthday. And as a bonus there were birthday sets for Mark Knopfler and Porter Wagoner, too.
Bob devoted much of the show to the 60th anniversary of The Beatles’ “Revolver” LP. Thankfully, the Fab Four went with that name instead of the working title “Abracadabra.” We know Steve Miller, for one, is grateful.
Bob paid tribute to guitarist Charlie Christian, who made an outsized contribution to to generations of electric guitar players although he only lived to be 25.
Bob recounted the highlights of the Love Lovett-Hayes Carll show last week, while Bill couldn’t contain his excitement about another Jason Isbell show, which will take place Saturday at the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, north of Dayton.
Bob paid tribute to the legendary Linda Ronstadt on her 80th birthday, while Bill previewed a number of great shows in town this week including Lyle Lovett, Nick Lowe and John Mellencamp.
Bill returned after hip replacement surgery to play 90 minutes of top-notch music that focused on some of the great shows coming to town. And, surprisingly, he did it while avoiding the temptation to talk about himself for most of the time.
Bob was joined by Fifth Beatle Jack Greiner to celebrate songs that make Jack happy, and to observe the birthdays of Willie Dixon, Debbie Harry and Delaney Bramlett.
Shockingly, while Bill was out doing the hip shake, Bob filled in with new music from Josiah and the Bonnevilles, Whitney Rose and more. He also previewed the Chris Knight show at the Southgate House Revival.
John London joined Bill for the second hour of the show as he continues his quest to secure his own time slot at WAIF. This week’s theme was Songs That Friends Selected, and include interesting anecdotes about how the tunes fit into the people’s lives.
John Tarvardian, the BlueSnakesandBanjos.com creator, joined Bill for an evening of summer songs, newfound modern soul singers, and a discussion of having kids who live in Washington, D.C., and John’s native Chicago.
