Bob played some favorite records and celebrated the election results and Rickie Lee Jones’ 69th birthday, while Bill hunkered down at home to avoid the Suits. Deadstring Brothers, Motel Mirrors, and Jorma were just a few of the happening tracks.
Bob and Bill were in the studio for the first time in a month and spent a lot of time chirping about politics, the show’s FunRaiser and sports, but managed to pay tribute to Rudolph Isley, one the founding members of the band from Cincinnati.
Bob and Bill spent an inordinate amount of time celebrating National One-Hit Wonder Day, created by friend of the show Steve Rosen, including a consensus on the No. 1 song.
Bob and Bill paid tribute to Jimmy Buffett, the troubadour of sun, surf and sand, who passed away last week at 76. Cincinnati always took pride as the home of “Parrothead,” the term coined by then-bass player Timothy B. Schmitt at Kings Island’s TimberWolf in the 1980s.
Bob saluted the working men and women of America as Labor Day approached, and then marked the anniversary of Hank Williams recording “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” at Cincinnati’s Herzog Studios.
Bob and I have said for years that Senovia Byndon’s “I Hear U,” which precedes BS&B each Wednesday from 5-6 p.m., is the best show on WAIF because of her commitment to the community. On Aug. 23, Bill joined Canita Alexander and Jacqueline Hawthorne-Evans to talk with Senovia about their cancer stories. It was a special experience for me and I hope you’ll take to listen.
It was a bittersweet evening as Bob and Bill paid tribute to John Fay, their former Enquirer colleague, plus Robbie Robertson of The Band, Rodriguez of “Searching for Sugar Man,” and David Flamme of It’s a Beautiful Day.
