S2 Ep. 8: Zooming again, Foreign listenership stats, The Kirg, All the music we love that we can still remember

Send us Fan MailWARNING: Many links to great music below.Del is Zooming in again, this time from a windy, remote mountaintop in Polk City, or so he says, where he meets Old Buck Kirg, a longtime friend and classmate. He's been looking for a new location for our studio now that the Disney deal has gone sour.  Dave reviews foreign listenership stats and finds Germany has strengthened their second place slot, followed by a growing Russia base in Chelyabinsk, at the foot of the Urals. Dave's even been there. Turkey and the Czech Rep. are also growing while Canada slips to a dismal sixth.  Should we go back to Halifax?  Great city, very nice folks [you know who you are] , very cold now. Hmmm.EXPERT ADVICE: Watch all the videos linked below.Del finally gets to talk about musical memories, reliving a day when Porky Chedwick, the Daddio of the Raddio, your Platter Pushin' Papa played Run Red Run by the Coasters.  This was a B-side record that Del can't get out of his mind, much like you and Candy Man by Sammy Davis Jr.  Del also recounts a James Brown concert he attended in Cleveland. Dave tells the world about the crush his sister had on David Ruffin of The Temptations and seeing them live.  After wheedling their way backstage, little sis finds her man. Dave recalls his many visits to the Main Point coffeehouse in Bryn Mawr and the great acts he saw there in an intimate setting. His favorites included Jackson Browne singing The Pretender,  Randy Newman singing the sorrowful Sail Away, and an unknown Jim Croce singing Bad, Bad LeRoy Brown.   Other favorites included Janis Ian singing At Seventeen, and his #1 favorite, Jerry Jeff Walker, the man who wrote and sang Mr. Bojangles. Del couldn't shut Dave up as he churned through his other favorite live acts, including Mott the Hoople [not so young in the video but still dudes] and Jethro Tull on the same bill, Richie Havens in a  Kutztown gym, and a young Billy Joel at another college gymnasium [where Dave found out his wife was a Billy Joel groupie of sorts]. Dave's all-time favorite live performance was Janis Joplin in Philadelphia, 1968. He's never seen anyone  like Janis ,ever. He didn't get to mention John Prine, whom he saw in 2018. Dave's present-day favorite, whom he saw live twice, is Rachael Price with Lake Street Dive. You really need to watch a couple of their videos.  Yes, that's three links; they're that good.In other news, we have a winner for the submarine scale contest. Del is checking the math.Disclaimer-Videos are for entertainment purposes only; no copyright infringement is intended.Give us your thoughts:  [email protected]                          Find Two Old Bucks on Facebook  and YouTubeLeave a Voice message - click HEREWHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
