Selected BobTalk

For the next sixty minutes, we’re gonna be talking about one horse towns, one track minds, one armed bandits, one false move, one in a million, one too many, one way or another, one brick shy of a load, and one and only. So stay here one and all, and listen to songs on a singular subject, that subject being… number one. (intro)

I don’t think anybody ever did it as good as the folks who did it first. (about The Five Royales).

Even though it’s a little cleaner (than S. Lewis’s version), you can’t fault Elvis. It was the taste of times and he’d already broken enough rules.”

The Impressions had Curtis Mayfield at the helm. Curtis was a triple treat: he wrote the songs, he played guitar on the songs, he sang on the songs.

It’s like a series of snapshots of a neighborhood in the bayou. (about One Time, One Night)

He was a tortured soul capable of great darkness, but you can’t always let someone’s bad qualities be the only thing that you remember them by. Ike Turner was capable of great art and the world of music is a poorer place for his loss.”

Here at Theme Time Radio Hour, we circumnavigate the globe and bring back music for your edification. (intro=.

Everybody wanted to sing like Bill Kinney. You can hear him in Clyde McFadder, Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley, and a host of others who don’t even know they’re trying to sing like Bill Kinney, who try to sing like Clyde McPhatter, Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley, etc. etc., and so it goes, down the lines of history. (about The Ink Spots)

Chris Powell & The Blue Flames “This song’s from the early 50’s and it’s one of the first American records I know to be influenced by the rhythms coming out of Jamaica. (about I Come From Jamaica).

A lot of the rockabilly and country guys were fascinated with this part of the world. (about Rockin in the Congo).

Maxine Sullivan along with her husband John Kirby, swinging the traditional song.”

This song is an old song. There’s lots of variant versions of it, but these are the guys I first heard singing it. I heard it live; you’re gonna have to hear it on a record. (about The Irish Rover).

Italy is shaped like a boot, and one guy I get a boot out of is Dean Martin. He was the smoothest singer of the 50’s and 60’s; Elvis Presley wanted to be him, as did Frank Sinatra, for two very different reasons. Here’s Dino and I call him Dino.”

We’re gonna be locked up, locked out, keyed up, wound up, we’re gonna be talking about church keys and skate keys, we’ll listen to the key of C and learn about the key to good living. There’ll be lip locks, Loch Ness, time locks, and vapor locks. Before the end of it we might even get the key to the city. So I hope you’re all locked and loaded and sitting by your radio. (intro).

We’re gonna start it all off old school. (about Lock and Key)

Kind of a crazy march… sounds like they were all playing in different keys there for a minute. Personally, I don’t think it was actually the key to her door that he was looking for; maybe he was looking for the key to her chastity belt. (about The Key (To Your Door)).

Time Magazine called her America’s best songwriter in 2002… I guess I was out of town. (about Lucinda Williams).

See, that song can be done any kinda way…’bout time for it to come back again. Maybe I’ll even do it. (about Open the Door, Richard).

Kind of a rockabilly, piano based version of Johnny B. Goode. (about Ten Long Fingers).

One of the last great New Orleans trumpet players. He was overshadowed by Louis but he actually had a fresh approach. In the 60’s he was still playing, and Don Ellis called him the most creative and avant garde trumpet player in New York. (about Henry ‘Red’ Allen).

You don’t get any more western swing than this. (about You’re Bound to Look Like a Monkey).

We’ll be talking about love letters, pen pals, going postal, ransom notes, letters to dear John, and Dear Abbey, Miss Lonelyhearts… we’ll be returning things to sender, and we’ll be telling you that your check’s in the mail. (intro).

You know, when we come up with these themes, we try to stay away from the obvious choices. But occasionally there are some that you just have to play, like this one. (about Please Mr. Postman).

You got to wonder, why don’t piano players play like that any more?! (about Jimmy Ricks)

The 2nd shortest single to reach #1 (about The Box Tops’ The Letter).

Our next artist joined the high tone label, where he first recorded this song; but we’re gonna play the version of 1949 that he recorded for king. I’ve always been partial to the band he had around that time…I’m sure all you jazz fans recognized that after Slim sings ‘Things ain’t like they used to be’ the saxophone players play the riff from the Duke Ellington song of the same name. (about A Letter Home with Memphis Slim).

He took up the piano at age six and also played the Hammond organ and the pipe organ, which he called the God Box. He was a great singer as well as a piano player. (about Fats Waller).

He grew up listening to his father and grandfather performing Cajun songs, but when he formed his first band, the Cool Cats, in the mid 50’s he was doing straight ahead country and western songs. But the rock and roll bug bit him and he started playing louder and faster. (about Gene Terry).

The longest active professional brother duet in country music history… 55 years. (about Jim & Jesse McReynolds).

You know what happens every president’s day, stores have big sales. They gotta clear their shelves and we’re gonna do the same thing. We’re gonna go through the Theme Time Radio Hour supply closet and pull up some of the old stock and songs we didn’t have time for in our other shows while we celebrate all of the years presidents. (intro).

You know a lot of early blues and folk songs have lyrics that are passed around from performer to performer. Each one putting their own spin on it, with the lyrics kinda floating from person to person.

She’s singing with a whole lot of enthusiasm. Nowadays you hear all these singers that are too cool for school. No such problem with Miss Rhythm. She was a fellow disc jockey hosting Public Radio’s “Harlem Hit Parade”. I always enjoy playing a fellow Disc Jockey. (about Ruth Brown).

They Might be Giants might sound like an odd name for a band, but it was actually taken from a film starring George C Scott called The Hustler.”

Doesn’t have anything to do really with James K Polk, but it was a good excuse to play it. (about Polk Salad Annie).

We’ve played a Wynonie Harris a few time in the past, but sometimes I think we should be playing him every show.

A song about our tallest president. (about Lincoln and Liberty).

He wasn’t just a calypsonian, he was a politician! (about Roosevelt In Trinidad).

The only hit I know written by a vice president, though I hear Dick Cheney is working on a Folk Rock record. (about It's All In The Game).

It’s president’s day here at Theme Time Radio Hour as you know, that’s when we pass the savings along to you, the listener.

Frank always liked powerful men… He performed at fundraisers. Is that the kind you shave with? That’s a fun razor. This was a fundraiser, you have to pronounce the “d“. Anyway Sinatra went back and forth between day-time democrat supporting Kennedy and a nighttime full of rat pack, booze, broads and crime.

We’re emptying out our closets in honor of President’s day.

Here’s a group that took their name from Mao Tse Tung and Stalin. No wonder they never had a hit. (about Country Joe & The Fish).

I wouldn’t want to be on the other side of that fist. (about Go Upside Your Head).

While we’re talking about presidents, let talk presidents everybody loves. Those’d be dead presidents. The ones that jingle in your pocket or you carry folded up in your wallet.

We’re gonna play doctor, we’re gonna doctor the books. We’re gonna talk about Dr. Strangelove, Dr. Who, Dr. Doom, Dr. Phil, Dr. Zhivago , Dr. Death, and Dr. Nick. (intro).

I love Mick’s hillbilly accent.

Just like Jimmy Nelson, he had his mind blown by hearing Big Joe Turner when he was 15…Nobody loved music like Doc; you could always see him at clubs in New York, right up front.

Recorded in the style that was known as rural mento. It was kinda the pre ska which was kinda the pre reggae. The mento band would usually feature banjo, acoustic guitar, percussion and something called the rumba box. Like calypso, this music was often taken from the newspaper and usually quite risqué. Here’s a song that meets both those criteria. (about Dr. Kinsey Report).

Ya know sometimes you see a record and the title just doesn’t make sense to ya. The first time I saw this 45 I thought the name was Walking Dr. Bill; I didn’t know who Dr. Bill was. But I listened to it and I realized that B.B. King is saying that he’s a walking Dr. bill, cause he’s messed up ever since his lady left him. Well now it makes perfect sense.

That’s for all the folks who wonder what it might have sounded like if Robert Plant sang The Monster Mash – and I mean that in the best possible way, Jack! (about Girl You Have No Faith In Medicine).

Selected BobTalk

I don’t mean to be an alarmist but today’s show is dedicated to telling you to be careful. We’re gonna sound the klaxon, put up the yellow perimeter tape, don our hazmat suites, and ride like Paul Revere as we shout ‘Danger’s afoot!’ So grab your gas masks, keep your eye on the speedometer, take your Cipro, and stay at a heightened state of awareness. (intro).

Here’s a track which is a great snapshot. It’s from 1951. R & B was just beginning to turn into rock and roll, the bee bop players were still playing in the clubs, and this record has all of it. (about Better Beware).

Selected BobTalk

Look up in the sky, it’s a bird. Most likely it’s a bird… you might want to gather up some twigs, some little bits of yarn, almost any kind of material that you might find, build yourself a little nest, settle in for the next hour… We’ll talk about bird brains, eagle eyes, the bluebird of happiness, we’ll play a little chicken, we’ll find something to crow about, and maybe even flip you the bird. (intro).

It’s good to hear him step up to the microphone and poundin’ those 88’s. (about Merrill Moore).

Here’s a song that goes as straight as the crow flies. (about Ice Cream for Crow).

Four songs, one melody. What’s all the noise about – I’ll let you listen. Maybe you’ll write some new words to it and it’ll climb to the top of the charts. It worked before, maybe it’ll work again. (about Great Speckled Bird).

How about next week, we postpone the show we were going to do and we just play more bird songs? ‘Cause I ain’t even touched the dance crazes yet. You got The Funky Chicken, The Drunken Pelican, The Spastic Penguin, The Tufted Puffin… those are just the ones I can do. In the meantime, you go ahead and dance around your house, or as the Five Du-Tones put it, shake a tail feather. We’ll see you next week. Don’t stray to far from the nest. (outro).

Selected BobTalk

It’s time once again for more bird songs here on Theme Time Radio Hour. We’ve gotten a lot of response to last weeks show. A lot of people have written in with their favorite bird songs. People are asking me questions about birds. I’m no exactly an expert, but I’ll try and help as much as I can. (intro).

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I rooster in the hand…well, never mind.

You know I’m tempted to do a third show about birds. I certainly have enough records, but I don't think I should tempt fate, two is plenty and I hope we've answered your questions and talked a little bit about our feathered friends. There's one question we haven't answered and I don't think that we can do it, so I want to turn it over to a man by the name of Robert William Service who tried to answered it in poetic form. Here's Robert Service'spoem Why Do Birds Sing? (outro).

Selected BobTalk

It's time again for Theme Time Radio Hour. You know people stop me in the street, and they say "Bob, when you're gonna run out of themes?" I got news for you. It's not gonna happen! We can do a show about anything, and I'll prove it to you, this week: Joe, just Joe. We can do an entire hour on these three letters, J, O, E, Joe. Although Joe is a name, it's one of those names who kind of has three stages. When you're a kid you can be "Joey". "Hey, that's Joey playing out in the yard". You're a bit older, and you're "Joseph", you're a business man and the head of a household, serious, no-nonsense. Joseph. Then, you're a bit older and you're Joe. Maybe, it's time to retire. "There's good old Joe". Joe's a good neighbour and he's working on the garage, He's got a wood-working kit in there. No matter how old you are Joe's a name that can follow you, so for the next hour, we're gonna talk about Joe Average, Joe Namath, Little Joe From Kokomo, Bazooka Joe, Joe the Bartender, Cotton Eyed Joe, Mean Joe Green, Joe Strummer and get ourselves a cup of Joe. Joe's from the Hebrew name, Joseph, meaning "he will add". There's a lot of Joes in the Bible, but we call them Joseph there. We'll be talking about them too. (intro).

It started out as a folk blues song, but it became a country bluegrass standard, and there was even a techno dance version recorded in the ‘90’s…the 1990’s. (about Cotton-Eyed Joe).

One of those groups that went back and forth between gospel and rhythm and blues. (about The Dixieaires).

The very talented and ever generous. (about Joan Baez).

No matter how you slice it, that’s rock and roll. (about Diamond Joe).

Jerry Lee had such a strong left hand that he didn’t need a base player. He could make anything swing.

Selected BobTalk

Welcome Back to Theme Time Radio Hour. Last week’s show was certainly hot. This week the mercury’s dropping and there’s frost on the window. You can feel the nip in the air, there should be enough of the clue, but this week we’re gonna take a bird’s eye view at the absence of heat. We’ll examine goose-flesh, look at cold as a means of seduction and as a power resting place. And there’ll be music at every stop. So button up your overcoat. Make yourself a mug of hot chocolate. This is Theme Time Radio Hour, and there’s a chill in the air.

Here’s the king of Texas blues guitar…got his nickname from his middle name which is Thibeaux. You won’t find that name on those little license plates that you can buy for your bicycle but I hear it was a pretty common name down in the Bayou. (about T-Bone Walker).

A great example of how you can tell a complete short story in a little over two minutes. (about The Cold Hard Facts of Life).

Where do you even begin with a record like that, there’s so much right with it! First of all, nobody’s in any hurry, you could just about drive a truck between the beats. You got a girl named Priscilla, barely 16 years old. Lightnin’ Slim employs the Socratic Method, starts asking himself questions half way through the song. Just the perfect record. Nobody makes records like that anymore.

It was originally recorded back in the 20’s and many people recorded variations of it. Riley Puckett did it in 1924, Bill Monroe did a version of it. Woody Guthrie turned it around a little bit and got ‘Going Down the Road Feeling Bad.’ (about Chilly Winds (Lonesome Road Blues)).

In the interests of equal time we’ll let other people discuss politics and we’ll just stick with the music. (about Stone Cold Man).

He’s one of those guys that you don’t know where to put his records. Are they country boogie? Are they early rockabilly? Are they country and western? That’s why I file everything alphabetically. I don’t separate it by style. That’s why you find Thelonius Monk right next to the Monkees. (about Roy Hogsed).

George Clinton back when he still wanted to be Curtis Mayfield, before he went off in outer space. I like the outer space stuff too, but Curtis Mayfield, come on! (about The Parliaments).

This is Theme Time Radio Hour and we’re talking about cold. The chill. The cool chill crisp. The frosty frozen icebox. The intense nippy one dog night. The snappy snowy stinging wintery. The icy sleet, and the frosty glare. And I know what I’m talking about. I come from a very cold part of the country. The part of the country I come from is so cold that when you talk to somebody outside the words freeze in mid air and you have to bring em in and thaw em out by the fire so that people can hear what you’re saying. It’s so cold out there that the politicians have their hands in their own pockets.
