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!

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!

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!

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.

Do you have a comment or
question for BuDDy? Guest Joan Sotkin, author of the highly-praised book, Build Your Money Muscles, and proprietor of the Prosperity Place website, gives so much valuable information on how our emotions and attitudes affect our prosperity and our relationship with money that it's hard to know whether to get into any of it here.** Listen to the show! The conversation was so rich and info-packed that we broke the one-hour barrier in show length! BuDDy's interest had been piqued by a short, pithy interview with Joan in the Santa Fe Reporter, and his impulse in inviting her was the hope that his associate, Jim Terr, might listen in and get some tips on getting out of his constant state of financial stress. Joan has made this journey herself, and knows whereof she speaks. They discuss their mutual admiration for Peace Pilgrim. BuDDy gives Joan a copy of Jim Terr's most recent CD -- unfortunately autographed to someone else, but Joan graciously accepts. They also discuss their mutual admiration for Stefany Burrowes' weekly Theater Salon newsletter and website - an ambitious and useful resource for arts in New Mexico - in which Joan and Jim both advertise. BuDDy mentions that Jim Terr is working on a feature film script involving BuDDy, and is newly frustrated because he just came across a Newsweek article about how a made-for-TV movie called "High School Musical," with an almost identical concept, is taking the entertainment world by storm! We all join together in a group spray of Marsha Mason's Throat Therapy Spray - except Joan, who is allergic to one of the ingredients. A whole new carton of the stuff has generously been supplied for us to give to our guests, by Marsha Mason's Resting in the River, in recognition of the powerful marketing reach of BuDDy's Old Fashioned Podcast (now on 3 or 4 continents worldwide!) BuDDy mentions with considerable reverence his friend, singer/songwriter Steve Young, writer of the song "Seven Bridges Road" recorded by The Eagles, Joan Baez and many others, and of songs recorded by Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, Jr. and others. We play Steve's song, "Little Birdie," from his fabulous CD, "Primal Young." BuDDY plays live, in-studio, a composition called "The Crazy Leg," a tribute to the rockabilly era. BuDDy announces that ABC Radio News correspondent Larry Jacobs will be his in-studio guest on the podcast to air August 19. We leave our listeners with a quote from Joan, from her book: "When you're longing for more, what you'll get is more longing." **Suffice it to say your Inner Child (or even worse, your Rebellious Teenager) may be running your finances, and you want to think twice before letting them stay in charge!

Fri, 21 July 2006  Time: 44:06
Do you have a comment or
question for BuDDy? Our guest this week is Bill O'Donnell of the Santa Fe Institute for Spirituality, requested by BuDDy in order to address a couple of personal moral crises - but more on that later. Bill drops the name of H.H. The Dalai Lama and mentions his "Spirituality TV" program on Santa Fe Community Channel 16. BuDDy graciously offers a rare print of Max Weiczorek's "Head of Christ" to our guest. The podcast proudly announces that Marsha Mason's Resting in the River will continue to provide Throat Therapy Spray for the program and guests, since the periodic "group squirt" has become such an essential and well-loved part of the program and elevates our vocal qualities to even higher heights. BuDDy opines that this is another example of the world coming to grips with the incredible marketing power of our program and its worldwide audience. BuDDy broaches the topic of his personal spiritual crisis by asking Mr. O'Donnell if he's familiar with The BuDDah. Bill says no, but proceeds to tell us more than we ever knew on the subject, so I guess the answer is "yes." Further laying the groundwork, BuDDy asks whether he's familiar with the "Messina complex," wherein a person identifies perhaps too closely with Our Lord and Saviour. Bill gives a qualified yes. Anyhow, it seems BuDDy has lately had some intense moments of identifying with The BuDDah (the similar name, the big stomach, the benevolent spirit) - indicating perhaps an intense spiritual longing and possible impending transformation of some sort. But the real moral crisis seems to be that when BuDDy performed recently at a comedy showcase in Albuquerque hosted by his young friend Rusty "The Chick Magnet" Rutherford (part of BuDDy's ongoing commitment to "give back" to the community by occasionally offering a shot of his own incredible celebrity to give a boost to up-and-coming artists), BuDDy's song was followed by an edible-bacon-underwear skit which threatened BuDDy's whole moral stance, stirred his passions, and gave him an overpowering craving for bacon. Bill gently counseled. Well, he basically dismissed the whole thing and wanted to see the photos. BuDDy began to demonstrate the song performed at the showcase, "Don't Watch the Video," and then switched to a live recording from the show. Finally, we play a beautiful song called "Heaven" from Elliott Rogers' CD, "Comin' Back 2 You," an incredible CD produced by Santa Fe's Chas. Young, who probably knows where you can buy one. BuDDy states that Elliott's Ramblers' annual Sunday morning gospel performance at the Santa Fe Bluegrass Festival is his most anticipated musical event of the year - along with the occasional live appearance by his friend Kathy Chiavola.

Fri, 14 July 2006  Time: 45:49 BuDDy
starts with a strong defense of his president's Dept. of Homeland Security as
lampooned in the liberal
press for listing a petting zoo, a popcorn factory, a mule parade, an
unspecified beach and a flea market as terrorist targets. As BuDDy points out
(pointed out in turn by a friend), terrorists could infect the fleas at a flea
market with Bubonic Plague and you'd have a Black Death epidemic on your hands! But BuDDy's
not looking for controversy; he just wants to be your friend, so he welcomes
this week's surprise guest, the lovely Ms.
Cheryl Davis, associate broker with Sotheby's
International Realty in Ms. Davis
discusses the booming Show host
Mr. Be mentions the Podcasts listener comment line, clearly more enthusiastic
about it than BuDDy is. BuDDy allows that at least the non-toll-free feature
will ensure that only people with 20 or 25 cents to spare - and therefore with
worthwhile comments to share - will call. BuDDy
mentions Santa Fe's free live-music-on-the-Plaza program, Santa Fe Bandstand, and all present
agree it's a fabulous ongoing event. All present soothe and refresh their
throats with a squirt of Marsha
Mason's Throat Therapy Spray, and take a deep holy breath together. BuDDy
mentions that he will perform live this weekend at a special showcase hosted by
Rusty "The Chick Magnet" Rutherford at Gorilla
Tango Theater in Albuquerque, to be broadcast on Albuquerque public
access TV channel 27. BuDDy
thrills his guest with the gift of an autographed photo and a new set of Pick-Up Sticks. He
thrills her a little less with a couple of social invitations which are not
accepted, supposedly because of her plan to pursue real estate full-time until
the moment of her death. BuDDy mentions that he plans to expand his creative
horizons by writing a historical novel involving Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, and a thinly
disguised fictional version of himself. BuDDy stumbles
through a "real and raw" original song called "Straight to the Love Zone," and plays a cut called "Rockin' Music", by Charlene Hancock, now
with the Texana Dames, from her CD
called either "50 Years" or "From There to Here." BuDDy
expresses his great love and appreciation for the entire Hancock family and
their Supernatural
Family Band, including of course patriarch Tommy X. Hancock - all featured in the
fabulous documentary video, "Lubbock Lights." Be sure

Fri, 7 July 2006  Time: 41:40 BuDDy "rings in" the program with some prayer chimes thoughtfully supplied by Ms. Steph, which are sure to become a regular feature of the program until BuDDy tires of them. After letting BuDDY rattle on for a few minutes about something or other, Mr. Be announces the installation of a Listener Comment Line for BuDDy's Old Fashioned Podcast! Before they try it out, Mr. Be introduces a surprise guest, the lovely actress and video editor Kate VanDevender of Albuquerque and New York City. That's right, New York City! (we don't mess around here on BOFP). BuDDy is dazzled into near-speechless awkwardness, but quickly recovers to suggest they listen to the comment line, which in fact contains only one crackly "test" comment from BuDDy. Mr. Be gamely suggests that listeners start phoning in their comments and questions anyway, but BuDDy suggests a more conservative approach of ironing out the bugs first, and there it stands for now. Anyhow, our Miss Kate talks of her acting career, including her upcoming role in a comedy called "Sealed for Freshness" in New York. BuDDy offers his expertise on "burping" Tupperware. She also talks about her video editing business, ImagineEdit, wherein she prepares "demo reels" for actors. (Kate's own "reel" is included there!) BuDDy, not surprisingly, mentions his inclusion on the Forbes Billionaire List. Kate also talks about her participation as editor for the short film, "Eddy Ray", in the upcoming Duke City Shootout in Albuquerque. BuDDy mentions that the Podcast has been heard in such exotic locales as Canada, Denmark, Germany, the UK (formerly England) and Yugoslavia (formerly something or other), according to our podcast "stats" (statistics). BuDDy also wishes out loud that we could get in a fresh supply of our podcasting essential, Marsha Mason's Throat Therapy Spray, for ourselves and our guests. We play a rockin' cut by last week's guest, Rick Mena, called "I Failed The Lie Detector Test," from his self-titled (or "eponymous") CD called, not surprisingly, "Rick Mena." BuDDy sings a joyous song called "Another Heterosexual Wedding (Here in Santa Fe)", accompanied by Mr. Be and Miss Kate, and explains that the song was actually written and performed for an actual heterosexual wedding here in Santa Fe! BuDDy reminds us that he's not trying to stir up any controversy, and simply wants to be our friend. Another ring or two of the prayer chimes, and we're outta there!

Fri, 30 June 2006  Time:
37:24 Rick's own music has been featured on CDs and soundtracks and TV/video including the Discovery Network. Rick plays for us a scintillating flamenco-style original called "Santa Fe Sunset Serenade," from one of his two CDs available through CD Baby (he's got four others as well!) and soon to be available as a part of a screensaver from the New Mexico Tourism Dept. Rick's studio, Ricky Recordo's, features Sonar and Band-in-a-Box systems which allow the musician to create a whole band, well, in a box! But enough about Rick. BuDDy shares his sadness about an article reporting that Americans are feeling lonely and isolated. BuDDy reminds us that after all the fame, all the fortune, he's just here to be our friend. With some live accompaniment by Rick, BuDDy tries with limited success to lift our spirits with a song called "That's Disgusting - Lemme See That Again." Rick drives us deeper into depression with a blues song, "Kind-Hearted Woman." BuDDy speculates that if they had Prozac in the time of the great Bluesmen, we wouldn't have any blues music today. Finally Rick accompanies BuDDy on something a little lighter, a tribute to Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice called "Condi," a parody of Larry Hall's 1959 hit, "Sandy."

Fri, 23 June 2006  In a rousing solo rendition of his classic hit, "Fifty Year-Old Lover," (ably accompanied by host Mr. Be and his lovely friend Stephanie), BuDDy makes a well-rounded argument for younger damsels to experience the charms of a more seasoned gentleman like BuDDy --if only for educational purposes. Targets singled out in the song include Halle Berry, Britney Spears, Naomi Campbell, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Naomi Watts and Minnie Driver - providing a fascinating glimpse into BuDDy's erotic fantasy land. BuDDy recites a profound meditative sequence courtesy of meditation and wellness teacher and author John Selby, as heard on New Dimensions Radio. We play an old song by BuDDy, "The Ballad of Devil Weed," as featured on an upcoming installment of Chris Goldstein's highly-rated podcast for NORML called The NORML Daily Audio Stash. (NOTE: BuDDy does not endorse the use of illegal substances. We just wanna be your friend). Our link to the song, above, will include the briefest descriptions to date of BuDDy and his musical influences, and are therefore essential reading. We feature a song called "Bottom Dollar," performed and co-written by old friend, singer, songwriter, essayist and former Santa Fe resident Panama Red, a cohort of Billy Joe Shaver, Kinky Friedman and other luminaries. Finally, we totally forget to mention that the June 23rd issue of the Santa Fe New Mexican will feature an interview with our associate, Jim Terr, about his new be-in-your-own-movie enterprise called HollywoodMe.

Quickly drawing in BuDDy and your host, Mr. Be, with her on-air wit and sparkling voice, she ends up sticking around for the whole program. Time flies when you're having fun, and the program ends up at a record 60-minutes before anyone notices. BuDDy reads on-air a letter from his associate, Jim Terr, which appears in the Santa Fe Reporter this week, we play a fabulous song called "The Loving of the Game" written and recorded by Don and Victoria Armstrong and recorded by Judy Collins and others. BuDDy makes reference to KUNM-FM's Spoken Word Hour with Don McIver. BuDDy and Carolyn discuss the great fun to be had in trying to find a website "domain name" that hasn't already been taken. BuDDy sings a song to his ex-wife, called "What Do You Need With a Woman Like That When You Could Have a Man Like Me?" - describing a sad, real-life situation that unfortunately occurs often, especially in Santa Fe as BuDDy points out. Carolyn describes her other marketing efforts and websites located on her portfolio page. LINKS AND FRIENDS How to listen to this Podcast: Install iTunes: Notification list: Comments[0] |

Sat, 3 June 2006  BuDDy returns from his triumphant tour of the South Pacific, including Hawaii, and talks about being loved by audiences around the world -- and about his killer JET-LAG. Please note photo: Master photographer BuDDy captures the essence of Mr. Be "on the air." Mr. Be mentions that Jim Terr (BuDDy's associate)'s song, "Do They Have E-Mail in Heaven?," is Number One on the Podsafe Comedy Countdown, out of 225 songs!! BuDDy reacts a little negatively to the spotlight being shone on Jim Terr, and spends the rest of the program (frankly) trying to dispel any impression that he's too small to let that go by. As part of that effort, BuDDy graciously performs a Jim Terr song, "Linda the Lifeguard." Hear an endorsement from humorist Dave Barry, including a recollection of a night out with BuDDy that BuDDy doesn't quite remember and can't vouch for. NOT that we question Mr. Barry's veracity in any way. (Remember, as BuDDy always says, "We just wanna be your friend.") Finally, BuDDy plays the title cut from Adie Grey's CD, "Grandpa's Advice," featured often on Click and Clack's radio show and on the driving safety video, "No Bloodshed." LINKS

Thu, 1 June 2006  Showing his versatility once again, BuDDy portrays a local sheriff (not such a stretch, now that we think about it), in this dramatic ballad intended to convey the evils of marijuana to America's youth - and of "medical marijuana" to America's seniors. Song was featured on the national podcast of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) (see BuDDy #14 program notes), so maybe it doesn’t convey quite what it was intended to.

Sat, 13 May 2006 It's no secret that BuDDy's fabulously successful, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that BuDDy is once again on the Forbes Magazine Billionaire list, and moving up! BuDDy's also on a new website called www.AskUsFolks.com, along with quite a few other billionaires and celebrities. A beautiful endorsement of BuDDy from a beautiful guy, James Fallows, national editor of Atlantic Monthly. A beautiful bluegrass song with a historic angle, "Big Nosed Kate" from the self-titled CD by Higher Ground. A discussion about the lawless, Wild West History of nearby Las Vegas, New Mexico (the ORIGINAL Las Vegas!) Mr. Be is very moved by a gift, and BuDDy sings a new old favorite, "The Widder Up The Street." Altogether, a rich and nourishing installment of the podcast.

Wed, 10 May 2006  "The Passion of BuDDy," a feature film trailer parody, was featured in the 2004 Santa Fe film festival. It features a cameo appearance/endorsement from humorist Dave Barry , and was created from clips of several previous BuDDy short videos, several of which are featured on the prestigious British web site, 3btv.com. It also serves as a sketch of BuDDy's many moods and aspects, as a "calling card" for a feature film that BuDDy hopes to star in, before the end of 2006.
