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!

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."
