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.
