Wed, 11 October 2006  Time: 16:54 From 35,000 feet above mid-America, on his way back from our nation's capitol, BuDDy reports on his adventures in Washington, DC, on his crystal-clear, noise-canceling Iridium satellite phone, which he's trying out. (So far, so good, reports BuDDy -- it seems to work from everywhere, as advertised.) BuDDy didn't meet with the person who summoned him to Washington, but he did have some adventures, including meeting Scott Simon, host of National Public Radio's "Weekend Edition Saturday," who sends in a personal testimonial which BuDDy will have to listen to a little more carefully before releasing publicly... BuDDy discusses his varied epicurean adventures in DC, including McDonald's, and promises to post some photos of his trip (including the national monuments for which he has a deep reverence). A solo squirt of Marsha Mason's Throat Therapy Spray (by Mr. Be), a promise to re-unite live, in person, in-studio, at our regular time next week, with a new chapter of BuDDy's historical-novel-in-progress, and we sign off.

Fri, 29 September 2006  Time: 10:47 Gosh, BuDDy is so inspiring, such connections to the highest reaches of power, and such a dedication to making society work for everyone . . . when called, he runs! No matter what big engagements or interview he's got lined up, when Duty calls, BuDDy's there to heal and mend the wounds of our nation. NEW!

Fri, 22 September 2006  Length: 52:36 A sad occasion. Mr. Be's sweet doggie of many years, Maggie, passed away in the previous week, and BuDDy tries his clumsy best to provide some comfort. This show, #27, is dedicated to Maggie. Just as he was getting rolling in this endeavor, a phone call and knock at the door and we're joined by a surprise (to BuDDy, anyhow) guest, Ms. Kate Manchester of Edible Santa Fe and other ventures, Edible Communities and Edible Low Country. With vast apologies and expressions of guilt for not having baked it herself, Kate brings some delicious banana bread, enjoyed by all. But down to business: Kate is here to promote organic foods from the local foodshed. While promoting this in all-organic Santa Fe might be compared to hauling coals to Newcastle, or selling snow to the Eskimos (or bringing banana bread to BuDDy, for that matter!), Kate's reach is a little more internationale than just Santa Fe. BuDDy comments that her magazine, Edible Santa Fe, is such a visual delight, even for someone who couldn't read (BuDDy can read, by the way), that she may be in the wrong business. Probably not, though, since she's been a chef for Steven Spielberg, Ed Bradley, Martha Stewart, Donna Karan, Andy Rooney, Al Gore and Bill Clinton (and that fella knows about food!) "Convivium," "The Slow Food Movement" and other useful, interesting, exotic terms come up in our wide-ranging conversation. Mr. Be inadvertently uses a word absolutely prohibited on BuDDy's family-oriented podcast, so now we'll have to beep it out . . . The usual bonding and throat-smoothing effect of our customary "group spray" of Marsha Mason's Throat Therapy Spray. We read together Chapter 4 of BuDDy's historical novel-in-progress, Lincoln, Twain and the Troubador, backed with the rollicking boogie-woogie piano of internet guru and former Santa Fean, Clay Cotton, from his fabulous CD, "Rough Stuff." Clay has played with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and scores of others quoted on his web site. BuDDy mentions that he's got a fabulous new (old) performance video, a song called "NEKKID," his all-time favorite, up on Jim Terr's video collection on YouTube. Kate asks, in response to something or other, whether the girls are just standing in line to be on BuDDy's podcast, and before BuDDy can answer (affirmatively), Mr. Be says "Take a number," which gives us an opportunity to run the photo above.

Thu, 14 September 2006  Time: 50:03 Mr. Be starts out with a touching observation about the show which you'll just have to hear to appreciate. Our guest this week is Eliot Kohen - of Good Ideas advertising specialties (mugs, pens, bumper stickers, etc.), often-heard voice-over guy, reader, writer and so much more. He's the author of a popular left-wing bumper sticker widely seen around Santa Fe, and BuDDy asked to have him on the show not to confront him about his politics (BuDDy's not that kind of guy, he just wants to be your friend), but simply to explore this fascinating character. Eliot talks about Wendell Berry, whose book he's reading currently, tells a Jim Terr story involving singer/songwriter Steve Young, writer of the oft-recorded song, "Seven Bridges Road." And, as a famous voice-over artist, Eliot favors us by reading aloud the second half of the latest installment of BuDDy's historical-novel-in-progress, LINCOLN, TWAIN and the TROUBADOR. A "good read", as we say in the business! BuDDy is glad to have the left-leaning Mr. Kohen in the room when he debuts the studio-recorded version of a song he sang "live" on one of our earliest programs, a stirring defense of our president called "He's a Godly Man". All present are stunned into silence by the quality and Truth of the song, which will be posted on Jim Terr's political satire site, www.BlueCanyonSatire.com, for balance. Our recorded song for the week is, for a change, one that is NOT by a singer who's a friend of BuDDy, but just something BuDDy heard recently and was struck by how much more depth it had, listening now, as an adult, rather than as a child when he first heard it. Since he's trying to surprise our guest with it, we'll not print the name of the song here, but after hearing it you can find more info on the song and writer here. Finally, following an indiscreet mention of deflowering virgins which puts BuDDy in a tizzy (since he tries to maintain a certain level of decorum on the show), we play an excerpt of a parody of a National Public Radio review of Jim Terr's CD, which parody review will also be posted at http://www.bluecanyonsatire.com/. In that excerpt, critic and former BOFP guest Bill Hutchison refers to our podcast as "HANDS DOWN THE CLASSIEST PODCAST IN THE ETHER." By God! Also in that excerpt is reference to Jim Terr's song, often played on this podcast, called "Do They Have E-Mail in Heaven," which has been a #1 comedy hit in the podcasting world. (Not that we're here to promote Jim Terr, however). Eliot indicates that he has attempted to avoid the trend of everybody having a website, and he can be reached for business purposes by telephone at 505-983-1105. NEW!

Wed, 6 September 2006  Time: 54:31 For about the first time in his professional career spanning nearly 30 years, BuDDy arrives late, to find Mr. Be already interviewing this week's guest. It seems BuDDy's "chauffer-and-more", Bettina, had left town unexpectedly, leaving BuDDy to take the wheel of the limo and navigate the streets - neither of which he's done in many years. But he arrived safely, praise God, and other than the fact that BuDDy spent his first five minutes trying to figure out (and duplicating) what Mr. Be had already asked our guest, everything was fine. Our guest. Wow! The lovely editor of Abq Arts, Albuquerque's monthly Magazine of the Arts, Ms. Courtney Bell. BuDDy made a big issue out of Courtney not looking old enough to edit a newspaper, let alone manage a theater space (The Orpheum Arts Space, where The Tricklock Company is running Neil LaBute's "The Mercy Seat." By everyone's account, an incredibly great performance of a great play.) We discuss Ms. Courtney's editorship, her past in Philadelphia, DC and OKC, and Mr. Be wanting to run an on-line contest for our listeners to try to guess her age, based on all the conflicting conversation, observations, guesses, and vocal and photos you may see on this podcast. As part of the guessing game, Mr. Be asks Courtney the first band she remembers, and she says it's Depeche Mode, whom she heard in concert at some indeterminate age. BuDDy gifts Ms. Courtney with an autographed photo, a bottle of Marsha Mason's Throat Therapy Spray, and Jim Terr CD, and gifts Mr. Be with a clever product, a package of Bubba Gum. BuDDy mentions to Ms. Courtney that he's on the Forbes Billionaire list, but she doesn't seem too impressed - or else didn't hear. BuDDy reads the latest installment of his historical-novel-in-progress, Lincoln, Twain and the Troubador, and Mr. Be asks Ms. Courtney how she feels about history. She says she's interested in frontier life, and BuDDy launches into some spiel about a "captivity narrative" recounted on a video produced by his associate, Jim Terr, on HollywoodMe.com. We play a selection from the self-titled CD by local nouveau-bluegrass supergroup Mary and Mars, starring Josh Martin, Sharon Gilchrist (formerly of the frightening-looking group, The Dixie Chicks) and Ben Wright; and we say adios for the week.

Wed, 30 August 2006  Time:38:46
Do you have a comment or question for BuDDy? Mr. Be and BuDDy return from their respective vacations rested, refreshed, and ready to give you the most for your entertainment dollar (one of BuDDy's "key values" and mottoes). We play and discuss a comment received on our comment line, and try to untangle the confusion about the area code of the comment line, which is 206 (Washington state) and, yes, not New Mexico, where the show originates just as we say it does. The marvel of electronics. No, we're not trying to pull anybody's wool over the ice. BuDDy reads, live and on the air, the first chapter of his historical novel-in-progress, LINCOLN, TWAIN AND THE TROUBADOR. BuDDy gifts Mr. Be with a copy of an actual copy of the Declaration of Independence which toured the country (including Santa Fe) a couple of years ago. Mr. Be, also a student of history, is appropriately thrilled. (After the show, BuDDy notices that Mr. Be already has a copy of the D. of I. on his wall, but it's too late to take back a gift!) We play a strange "public service announcement" by BuDDy associate Jim Terr, about world leaders getting to know each other - or something. For our pre-recorded musical selection, we hear a 1973 (?) recording of singer/guitarist J. B. Brown, originally from Santa Fe, singing the c/w classic, "Phantom 309," with the band he was in at the time, The Last Mile Ramblers, still playing around Santa Fe. J.B. Brown went on to become the famous singer/guitarist, JUNIOR BROWN! His singing and guitaring skills are plainly evident even in this early recording. The recording is from a Last Mile Ramblers collection called "Vintage Y'Allternative." BuDDy neglects to mention that Junior Brown is opening several concerts this summer for Bob Dylan (one of the few celebrities BuDDy doesn't know) - so we wanted to mention it here. NEW!

Wed, 23 August 2006  Time: 3:55 A pre-recorded message from BuDDy and a comment from Mr. Be Podcasting LIVE on the lake, both on a well-deserved vacation (separately!), after having logged in 22 rich and rewarding episodes so far for our rapidly-expanding worldwide audience. Check back next week, and remember to tell someone you just wanna be their friend!

Do you have a comment or question for BuDDy? In a rare display of magnanimity, BuDDy surprises host Mr. Be by turning the tables and devoting the whole show to interviewing Mr. Be - exploring his very early years in Portland, OR, his later years as an exploited child farm laborer/tractor driver, musician, spiritual seeker, devotee -- all leading to his current incarnation as master Podcaster and I.T. guru, marketer and visioneer. BuDDy gifts Mr. Be with a package of cheese curds from Wisconsin, brought back by a neighbor who had left Fudgie the Three-Legged Wonder Dog (see photo) with BuDDy while he (the neighbor) was on vacation. BuDDy confesses to having totally fallen in love with Fudgie, and learning what spunk and the human spirit are all about. BuDDy's live song for the week is a truckin' song, a little on the risque side if you look at it a little more closely, "Haulin' Heavy Balls." Our recorded song selection of the week is from the CD, "The Best of Big Daddy." BuDDy explains that Bob Wayne, band member and recording engineer/producer for Big Daddy, is an old friend and proprietor of Sunburst Recording Studio in Culver City, CA. Sunburst has won several Grammys for sound and production quality, and has recorded such artists as The Firesign Theatre, Richie Havens, George Carlin, Adam Sandler, and countless others music and film projects. BuDDy explains the band's bizarre history, and why today's selection, "Help Me Make It Through The Night," is entirely unlike any other version you've ever heard. BuDDy and Mr. Be announce that they're each taking a vacation, and will be back at Podcasting Central in a couple of weeks. NEW!

Wed, 9 August 2006  Time: 45:24
Do you have a comment or question for BuDDy? Welcome to our new schedule, wherein new shows will debut on Wednesday! We welcome to Podcasting Central a young fellow who is not only himself a long-time fan of BuDDy, but whose little blind dog Ludo is also a fan and attentive listener to BuDDy's Old Fashioned Podcast. We're talking about Santa Fe young-man-about-town, writer, reporter, poet, radio host, PR director for the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and (along with BuDDy, according to BuDDy) a profound lover and appreciator of women - Bill Hutchison! The host of the weekly program, Anthologist's Cabinet of Musical Marvels, on KSFR-FM community radio Thursdays at 9:00 PM MT, Bill introduces BuDDy and the rest of Santa Fe to music well outside BuDDy's usual musical realm. And BuDDy's always looking to expand his horizons, musical and otherwise -- at least until we play a track that Bill brings in as a sample, "This Lamb Sells Condos," by an artist called "Final Fantasy", from the CD, "He Poos Clouds." If that don't tell you all you need to know . . . Well, suffice it to say the only lyric BuDDy can actually hear refers to a huge body part, throwing BuDDy into a frenzied apology to his intended "family" audience. Bill walks his animal welfare talk, speaking passionately about the need for spaying/neutering, and about his own several pets, including blind Ludo, the BuDDy fan. Bill's even got a girlfriend likewise involved with PR work for another public service organization, Forest Guardians. Bill suggests additional resources for helping our animal friends, The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and The Humane Society. And Bill says go to your local shelter, volunteer and adopt! Fittingly, we are joined in the studio by Mr. Be's dog, Maggie (see photo on show #12), who falls into a deep meditative state, lifting the room and the proceedings onto a higher plane. BuDDy quickly brings it back down, however, with a hastily-written song called "Internet Widow." This is followed by a cut from BuDDy friend James Talley's re-issued album, "Got No Bread, No Milk, No Money, But We Sure Got a Lot of Love," a cut entitled "No Opener Needed." BuDDy explains the double-meaning, the double-entendre, the "sub-test" as he calls it - in case it's really needed. In a typical expression of egomania, BuDDy says that while Talley undoubtedly got a thrill out of performing for his fan, President Jimmy Carter, at the White House, he'll no doubt be even more thrilled to find out that BuDDy is a fan, too! Mr. Be, having tried unsuccessfully in the past to interest BuDDy in the book, "The Fourth Turning," tries instead with guest Bill Hutchison, who seems more receptive. Another group squirt of Marsha Mason's Throat Therapy Spray, and we're outta there! LINKS AND FRIENDS How to listen to this Podcast: Install iTunes: Notification list: Comments[0] |
Fri, 4 August 2006  Time: 8:30 (that's 8-minutes and 30-seconds, NOT 8 hours . . .)
Do you have a comment or
question for BuDDy? BuDDy and Mister Be discuss changing the day of the week new shows come out. Bottom line: new shows will now come out on Wednesday, not Saturday. (This brief discussion IS our show for this week, til next new full-length show appears Wed., August 9!) Mr. Be suggests that this whole exercise is reminiscent of a Chinese Fire Drill. For those (like BuDDy) who don't know what a Chinese Fire Drill is, here's a definition from Wikipedia: A Chinese fire drill is a harmless prank, or perhaps just an expression of high spirits, popular in the United States during the 1960s. It is performed when a car is stopped at a red traffic light, at which point all of the car's occupants get out, run around the car, and return to their own (or other) seats. Chinese Fire Drills are sometimes executed when one needs to get something from of the trunk of a car.
