Bob and Bill tried to recall the name of Auric Goldfinger’s derby-wielding henchman. They also paid tribute to Dusty Springfield on what would have been her 75th birthday. Guys, his name was Oddjob.
There was lots of good music and different themes on tonight’s show which means truckin’ songs were played. Well, one truckin’ song since Bill doesn’t like them. Sigh…
Bill and Bob anticipated the upcoming Bruce Springsteen concert by playing songs they though were representative of the Boss even though they conceded there’s really no way to do that.
Bob is out of town this week but that doesn’t mean Bill had to fly solo. Nope. He was joined by John McCarthy who hosts another of WAIF’s great shows “The Great Pacific Garbage Patch”.
This week’s show kicks-off with a tribute to the often unsung heroes of countless hits: the back-up singers. As luck would have it, this was also National Colon Cancer Awareness Month. Bob and Bill had special guest Steve Martin (not that Steve) in the studio. Steve is a real gastroenterologist and he talked about the importance of colon cancer screening.
The studio was awash with WAIF all-star personalities: Rob, the co-host of The Great Pacific Garbage Patch; Tom Winkler, the host of Classics of Country; and Disco Dave, host of Disco World. An excellent time was had by all and excellent music was played.
Bob and Bill have a theory that the unusually warm weather has been responsible for people not only being nicer but also having more patience with each other. Maybe it’s not the weather. Maybe more and more people have been tuning in to Blue Snakes & Banjos. And maybe the show’s witty repartee and excellent music are the real reasons people are feeling good.
Sounds like Bob is having a lively conversation with himself. And while that’s the best way to get the answers you want, Bill was actually in the studio with him…grappling with a temperamental microphone. Fret not, they eventually got it to work. Technology can be a fickle thing.
With the 50th anniversary of the Beatles arrival in the United States inching up, Bill and Bob toss out some trivia about the Fab Four and play a handful of their songs.
John McCarthy host of The Great Pacific Garbage Patch here on WAIF joins Bob and Bill in the studio for show number two. With the Grammys having been broadcast just days before, the guys played songs from some of the winners they like. From the annals of “It’s About Time”, this year’s winner for best rock song was “Good Times, Bad Times” by Led Zeppelin. Nothing like being 45 years late.
