BuDDy #25 - BuDDy arrives late!

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.

NEW! Be sure to check out the complete list of songs played on past Podcasts.
