all these years later. Extremely talented performer, whether it was singing or acting or right, and as far as her personal life and her political beliefs, she's still just Share to me. Remember as a kid watching the Sonny and Share comedy hour, her just dead panning Sonny Bono into almost non existence. It's interesting to note that both of the men who Share was betrothed to are

both dead and she's still alive. A cautionary tale. It is Saturday, May twenty twenty three before we look at to look back at significant events and people tied to this particular data in history, including but not limited to these. Eighteen sixty two, President Lincoln signed the Homestead Act, which was intended to incurred settlements west of the Mississippi River by making federal land available for farming. This Saturday Evening Post published its first ever Norman Rockwell cover, showing a

scowling boy dressed in his Sunday best. The year was nineteen sixteen. Eleven years later, Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, New York, aboard the Spirit of Saint Louis on his historic solo flight to France. And I guess they tied it out this way on purpose, because just five years later, Amelia Earhart took off from Newfoundland to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Because of weather equipment problems, Earhart went

down in Northern Ireland instead of the intended destination of France. Shang Kai Shack inaugurated as the first President of the Republic of China be Taiwan. Nineteen forty eight was the year. Eleven years later on this date, nearly five thousand Japanese Americains had their US citizenship restored after choosing to renounce them during World War two, a white mob attacked a bus load of Freedom writers in Montgomery,

Alabama. This state nineteen sixty one. Nineteen sixty nine, US and South Vietnamese fortress captured eight Ba Mountain, referred to as Hamburger Hill by the Americans. It's one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War. Radio Marti began broadcasting from Cuba or into Cuba. Cuba responded by attempting to jam the signal. The year was nineteen eighty five, during the Ronald Reagan administration. Oh, I missed one at the top. This was okay, this is not

to me a red letter day. Maybe to you. May twentieth, nineteen fifty six to the United States exploded the first airborne hydrogen bomb over their Bikinia toll in the Pacific. Famous folks celebrating birthdays today besides Sherilyn sakes I, author James mckeachin ninety three, Wow, actor Anthony Zerbe.

Jane Wheedland of the Go Gos, Bronson Pinchot, Susan cows Hill of the cows Hill Family, celebrating on his May the twentieth actor John Billingsley, Too singer Nick Heyward, Mindy Cone, Tom Gorman of the band Belly.

Absolutely yeah, the the energy was electric down at Great American ballparker last night with the Reds debuting their City Connect uniforms. I don't know how you feel about the uniforms. I know it's been a it's been a heated debate between whether or not the uniforms came out.

You know what, Like most fans, I just care whether they win or not exactly, and they did not least no, uh, six to two that the Reds fell sixty two of the Yankees Ben Lively on the mountain was excellent, but obviously it was not enough for our Red Legs. David Bell was even ejected at the bottom of the fifth YEP. I saw that Um and the the person who in his stead was managing, I forget who it

was. UM pulled Lively out I think a bat or two early, and that was displayed when the reliever gave up a two one shot and the Reds were back off on the snide again.

but things didn't work out. A mom and her kids in a band have a birthday to Susan Cowsills today the wood drive and you keep all right, you're the same where the air is fine, the steet smelling in the

countryside gritty and you see that deal. Just take certainly is seene you should make with your little ron Susan Cowsill, whose birthday it is today as sixty four, and she is the At the time they were recording this and their other hits, she was the tiniest Cowshill in their version of the song hair.

She's the one that screams and spaghetti anyway into the memory banks and more of that on Rock and Roll Archaeology this morning at seven thirty five with the music professor jim La Barbara and Walk about seventeen minutes after the hour, let's talk to our friend old Radio Rick Washburn. Good morning, Old Radio Rick Martin, Gary Kiff, you know and spaghetti was the legacy I always wanted to build for myself. Didn't happen. You know, I think they.

I have heard them in other venues recently. Two members of the cow Sills. There's one that's actually still touring as the cow Sials. And then little Susan, who is not so little anymore as I just mentioned, has done some spot DJ work on various outlets and platforms and has nothing but great memories of a childhood filled with music and family. So and you can't really fault that. No, not at all. And it's not a common thing unfortunately either. No, No, as far he's having good memories of such a

thing. Yeah, talked to talk to Danny Bonaducci. That's exactly who it was, part of the Fake cow Shials known as the Partridge Family on TV. Anyway, So how are we? How are we being received this morning? What are you receiving us on? And give me the dimensions? Okay, well you're coming in four by three, so pretty out and clarity is not so great, but not too surprising on this one. This is an

odd radio because it's newer than what I typically work on. It's a nineteen sixty five Commodore Stereomatic Model seven forty four eight no relation to the Commodore Computer Company, was actually imported from Japan by the Commodore Import Company of Brooklyn, New York. Or the Commodore is from Tuskegee, Alabama, including Lionel Ritchie.

It would have sounded better if that were to say. And in this particular case, the reason I loved this radio is because it is and understandably it may be just a matter of bad translation since it came from Japan in nineteen sixty five, but it is just a very impressive, decent sounding radio full of false claims. For example, it says wooden case. Well, okay, that's as long as you believe that your country squire in eighteen seventy three, mom station wagon was made of wood. Also, no, it's

it's shelf paper. Come on, um. The next thing that threw me threw me off through everyone else's solid state. Now, Gary Jeff, most of us are old enough to know what solid state means. No tubes all transistors. Too bad, this thing has seven tubes and no transistors. That no, wait, that's pretty rare for a nineteen sixty five radio, is

it? Is it to not have not. Not only is it rare for nineteen sixty five, but it's very rare for coming out of Japan because after twent World War two, the Britain and you know, several countries helped them retool, and of course they retooled with the most modern technology, and that's where the sony trintron television that was superior to anything else in the market came from, because you know, why start over with tubes we invented excuse me,

the Aliens landed nineteen forty eight, right exactly. No, No, no actual wooden case, not solid state, in fact, just the opposite of solid state. What was the other? What was the other? Lot of stereomatic sound? Now that the radio has a speaker on either side of the dial and on the side of the cabinet, on both sides, but they're all wired together. It's not stereo, just four speakers pointing the same thing. It's not left and right. It's just monots of lots of ways

to hear monol radio exactly. But I will say it does sound good, especially on local stations, and it is extremely well built. I give them that, all right, So you have brought this thing or you're bringing it back to life. You said four by three. Is there any chance that this commodore stereomatic from nineteen sixty five Japan is ever going to be five by five? That's my question. If with an external antenna it does just fine, but left to its own resources, it's yeah, it's not bad fantastic.

Then you know it's just like one of those little shirt pocket am radios. You're not going to get a five by five out of it, no matter what you do, non point either, No, exactly. Any chance we'll see you anytime in our direct area, There is certainly a chance. I just don't have the dates figured out yet. And but the pile to go in the van is ever growing, and I won't forget the lamp this time, I promise. All Right, man, have a great weekend.

Old Radio Rick at gmail dot com if you want to get in touch with Rick Washburn. He is a master working on and refurbishing and bringing back to life these lovely antique radios, even from nineteen sixty five Japan. My doctor told me I should start swimming last for exercise, but I found out he got his medical degree in Granada wherever that is, so instead I head to the pool and listened to Scott Sloan show. Full side listening is perfect for

my show. Work on your tan while we take on the important stuff and have a little fun doing it. It's pretty funny and very smart. You know. I'm the heinos where Granada is.

Both their one loss record and their attendance records. It's

promising, it really is. Yeah, I don't know, did you did you have any comment or I know a lot of people had comments about the buffed up Joe Burrow Look, oh you know the post now, No, I mean with the headband on, and he does look like he's beefed up quite a bit. If if you, if you look at these side by side comparisons from say, last year at this time night and day to now, I mean he looks like a fifteen year old kid compared to this man

child who was erupted at least in photos. And you know that that may help him keep on his feet a little bit better. We need seven w headbands, that's what we need.

There's still no debt ceiling deal. With the six thirty report, I'm Sandy Collins breaking now. While the White House says President Biden is hoping for an agreement Candy Reach to avoid defaulting on the nation's bills, he is cutting his overseas trip short to revitalize the talks between his party and the GOP to raise the debt ceiling. ABC's Chuck Sieberson tells us where Washington is this weekend. Congress must raise the jet ceiling to pay the nation's existing bills, money

that's already been spent. After talk stalled Friday afternoon, negotiators for the GOP and the White House met again for about ninety minutes Friday night. Let's say they ended the closed door meeting with no progress and no set plans for the next meeting. Two sources familiar with the talks tell ABC News a key sticking point significant cuts to federal spending. Now, the consequences could be dire if these lawmakers missed the deadline. Troops could go unpaid, Social Security payments could

be delayed for seniors. The stock market would likely plunge along with people's four oh one k's interest rates would soar, and nearly eight million people could lose their jobs.

So the Heritage Festival, which is of course about the fine heritage of this community in Brown County known as Ripley, Ohio, and the great tradition of tobacco. You know, Burley Tobacco was king and h and Burley Burley Tobacco was king and this was what powered the whole area. So how do wet T shirts and

the Heritage Festival, why do they have anything in common? I'm going to defer this question to Doug Bonson, all right. I moved here in nineteen and this was going on way back before that time. Well, and don't defer. You don't have any answer. I mean, you're you're an educator

by trade. This is what by by training, you're an educator. So educate me on the Heritage Festival and the relevance of a wet T shirt contest at the Is it because the farmers, the tobacco farmers, when they were out working their crops working their fields often wore wife beater T shirts and were soaked to the bone, and some of them, because of excess breasts breakfast, had man boobs. Is this where this came from? As they were

sweating in the fields. That's that's the only correlation I can come up with. Well, you know, back in the in the datas with an old farmer's bar, so that could be true.

Good morning, Steven, how are you? Good morning Gary. Jeff. By the way, I was a little surprised there when you played the cow

Sills. They've gone woke. I don't know if you knew this. They've done a remake of Indian Lake. It's cale Guardian Lake does quite have the same sound. But you know, I thought, as I made that particular song selection, I could have played a number of I said, you know, somebody's going to think this is incredibly politically correct, incorrect, and that I'm demeaning native or indigenous peoples. No, it's just people are just a

fun song. Should be aware that Indian Lake is up there off seventy five ago thirty three from Columbus. There's an Indian Lake in almost every state. My old home where I graduated from high school in Hendersonville, Tennessee, one of the main drags where people live in shop is called Indian Lake drives. So yes, some very very well spect out on the Indian lakes of the world. And there's a Redskins nickname for a lot of high schools on Indian

reservations. Ladies in jail, thank you. Speaking of diversity, equity and inclusion, where d EI goes to d I E? Ladies and gentlemen, hasn't anybody ever thought about this? The Professional Golf Association playing their international tournament in Rochester, New York this week. There is no handicap system in pro golf, ladies and gentlemen. No, no, you don't get a handicap. You don't get strokes because of the color of your skin or any other

factor. How then, is pro golf doing without d EI? Is it all white people? Well not really. The number one player of the world right now is John rom of Spain. He's Hispanic. Frequently number two Colin Mark, Howie Marikawa excuse me. Japanese Americans. One of my favorites. He's a neighbor up here of mine. Jason Day Now he just won the Byron Nelson Attorney this month. He's Australian and part Aborigine Native Australian, lives in Westerville, Ohio. One of my favorites. Also, Harold Varner the

third, who is African American born in Canton, Ohio. By the way, he is number thirty five in the world. Ricky Fowler, you can't beat this one. He's Caucasian, American, Indian and Japanese. His full name is Ricky Utaka Fowler. He's in the top fifty. Xander Shafley French German, Taiwanese American. Tony Fenwe another one of my favorites. Tongan and Samoan. Amazing, he's not playing football. He's ranked number twelve in the

nation. Mexican American Abraham Answer, he has dual citizenship. He's ranked thirty first in the world. And here's an up and comer. I love this guy. Sahath Segala, Indian American, twenty fifth in the world. Sorry, all men or all women that's right. There are no trans and maybe we can change that when we decide where the trans will play on which teas. By the way, women, you want to talk about women. The number one in the world is a well, at least whiteis They always sneak

in there. But numbers two through six are either Asian or Asian American. And I forgot to mention Hadeki matsu Yama, Japanese. He won the twenty twenty one Masters tournament. Doesn't speak a bit of English and we don't care. Obvious solution. Oh oh, I forgot to mention Bryson to Shambo. I was going to mention him. He apparently, I think, is leading the PGA tournament up there in Rochester. As of yesterday he was a stroke out or two strokes out of first place. It must be the frost global

warming up there. The part of the first round was wiped out because of Frost. I like to call Bryson de Shambo Frenchy. You know you got a name like Bryson, You know you gotta have a nickname. Interesting thing. Two interesting things about him. Number one he was a physics major, okay, all right? And number two, Frenchy demands that when he plays at a tournament all the flags be white flags. That's kind of interesting, Okay, and it didn't go over Okay, obvious solution. Obvious solution to

the guys playing on girls teams issue. I don't think I've ever mentioned this an affirmative action and program for the NBA, the NFL, and the NHL. Here it is. I'm going woke. Half of your players have to be born women. Let's make it fair. Why hasn't any conservatives suggested what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Isn't that right? Would

you agree with that? Gary? Absolutely? And finally, I was a little discombobulated today when when you were talking to Olonnette about her bushy tail. You know, you've been married several times and you have a wonderful wife right now. Christ the two point, Oh, I'm not sure you want to be talking about another woman's bushy tale. That's just a suggestion. I've been married fifty six years to the same woman and it'll probably end soon. She'll

either kill me or we'll get divorced. But you know, you know, just a buddy, that's just a buddy talking. Okay, Yeah, Okay, that's all I've got. Now you have other stuff, but you have other stuff too. No, you know, I was I was fine. I was just listening to The Funny thing is took the day off from slinging drinks for Hillbillies and others yesterday at the bar, just because I needed a break, and the wife and I watched the entire most of the entire second

round of that PGA Championship you were referring to. And it has become really our favorite, our favorite spectators sport at home when we're there. I don't know if it's because I'm old and just like to fall asleep in the chair to golf like my dad did, uh, or if it's the fact that we just enjoyed the level of skill and the competition. These these women and these men on their own, of their own accord, are phenomenally uh,

meticulous athletes. And Bryson de Shambo you had talked about his degree in physics. Uh, that was the That was the joke, because before every shot he would be examining, uh you know, calculations and equations trying to figure out where the ball was supposed to go next. But we find it all very very entertaining. And you don't need WOKE, you don't need d EI, you don't need ESG to enjoy the PGA. And it is a nice

sanctuary from the craziness that is pervading everywhere in our society right now. But thanks for bringing that up. Steve from Etna, Ohio, and our friend Ray from Loveland. Ray, are you there? Yes, Yes, good morning, you're there and you're on the air. Oh my gosh, good morning about that. I saw it, I saw it flashing in and I just grabbed it for Alex Good. So what's on your mind in a minute, brother. But Jim Brown, the late great Jim Brown, you know,

in by far the best running back period in NFL. Just a few things I did a little brushing up on Jim Brown last night. Amazing. This man averaged one hundred yards per game his entire nine year career. Indeed, he averaged over five yards per carry his entire career. He played nine seasons, never ever missed a game, led the league in rushing eight out of nine years. That is amazing, just amazing. Plus plus, he was first team All American lacrosse at Syracuse, where he went to college.

He also lettered in track and basketball at Syracuse. He could have done any of those sports and excelled. And Jim Brown is maybe what Bo Jackson could have been without the knee injury. And he certainly was the Jim Thorpe of that era as far as just a multi talented, multidimensional athlete. Nobody better than Jim Brown. You're right walks away at twenty nine NFL champion, and

godspeed to Jim Brown, and godspeed to you, my brother.

The majority of your day is going to be dry and tempters top out right around the seventy degree mark. Tonight, you stick with clear skies and tempters dropping down to the upper forties before you warm back up to the upper seventies on your Sunday with lots of sunshine

from your severe weather station. I'm nine first Morning Meteorologist Cameron Harden on news Radio seven hundred WLW rain and sixty one degrees in Cincinnati. I'm Sandy Collins. Next update at seven thirty on news Radio seven hundred WLW News twenty four hours a day. He was a Radio seven hundred WLW into another hour of the Saturday morning edition. First Saturday, May twenty, twenty twenty three. How you doing I'm Gary, Jeff Walker, you are you, and that

is perfectly fine with me. Great to be with you on what's shaping up to be a pretty nice weather weekend if we just get past this rain this morning, nice stuff ahead. And it is time for our weekly check with a real environmental engineer, Steve Schulte, who says about the environment, about our ecosystem, about the Earth as it is today in the twenty first century,

it's not getting worse. It's doing this instead, well except except when we pretend it's getting worse and we do dramatic things to alter the echosystem and wind up screwing everything up, as is going on well really all over the world right now. But to highlight one of those things once against Steve Shilty, good morning, how are you doing, my friend? Good morning, Gary, Jeff better than I deserve and my person The Jim Brown and his Family one of the best war movies I love, and the Dirty Dozen,

Dirty Dozen. It was great. Unfortunately he got killed in that. His character got killed in that, right, but obviously he lived for years on Jim Brown. Jim Brown died at the age my dad is almost eighty seven. Jim Brown died at eighty seven had a long, very very productive life in the civil rights movie, in movies and obviously in the NFL. But you want to talk about these wind farms in Great Britain. This comes from

the Heartland dot org. The Weekly Climate updated number four hundred and seventies is a couple of weeks ago headline offshore wind projects are slaughtering seabirds and a recent study published in the peer review journal Nature Scientific Reports on what's called offshore wind projects. The study by a team of researchers at universities and research institutes in Germany found that populations of a group of red throated loons known as divers.

I've seen these birds declined by ninety four percent Let's repeat ninety four percent within a six tenth of a mile from these offshore wind So the population of this

particular bird was almost completely eliminated by the damn wind turb yep. The birds problem populations were affected even further out from the project, with a decline of fifty two about six miles uh from the turbans and Gary Jeff if one of these lounds could have been could be proved to be killed by let's say a nuclear power plant, or a coal power plant or a natural gas power plant.

What would you expect, You know, there would be protests at the gates, you know, people laying down at the entrance to stop trucks and whatnot. People people throwing fa fake loon, the protesters, idiot protesters throwing fake loon blood on the gates of a coal fired power plant. Or the fact of the matter is wind turbans and you and I have discussed this time

and time again, Steve, are not energy efficient. Whatso ever, if the wind doesn't blow, there's no production, and they are only contribute just a very infinitesimal piece of the pie when it comes to providing energy anywhere. And they are ecologically destructive as hell. Ye. And another one this comes from this is not about the birds. Randing just comes from the CEA two coalition, the newsletter of May eighteenth at the CO two Coalition dot org.

I know you're familiar with those headline. And again something that I'm sure I don't remember hearing this. This is only a couple of days ago, Babe. It's cold outside. Millions of people in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada woke up on May eighteenth, but two days ago to record cold temperatures

that dip to less than thirty degrees fahrenheit. Yeah. Well, if now, if we were at record temperature for May eighteen all over the news, and you and I and our excelace would be playing for it, Well, just don't breathe quite as much, Steve. Everything will be just fine. Thank you, sir, and God bless you have a fantastic weekend. We move along in. Our friend Rocco is on location in California. We'll talk to him next. No, that's amazing. A fugitive facing a murder charge

kidnapped to Kansas couple in two thousand and nine. The couple escapes when the kidnapper fell asleep. He then sued the couple for breach of contract. His case was dismissed.

Well so, I am um hosting the recovery ten for spot and plus a Spartan uh, and the Spartan Race. There's a

big um a trifecta race. It's called so, there's a sprint, there's a beast it's called and I don't know if you know what the Spartan Race

is, but it's I do not, I do not. Oh, it's a really really tough it's the toughest obstacle course a race in the world actually, and get these people are absolutely insane and they train really really hard and so um you have to go up tills through you know, under bob wire, you have to climb mountains and and and uh and ropes and you have to do like the monkey ball kind of things and and you get to traverse um uh basically rocks. That sounds that sounds to me like a hard day

at the bar. It's a very bar. Yes, yes, yes, absolutely, but there's uh yeah, it's it's basically across between American Ninja, UM, the iron Man and just insanity. Yeah, it's really all of it. Now, when is this When is this race? This race isn't for a couple more weeks, right, June tenth and eleventh? Is that

when it happens.

A recovery when you use a pem meth use the coal parn and that's what we have here at Spartan Plus. Uh. You know, a recovery tent. So we have all the different immodalities that

you get at train with Rocco you'll see at the Spartan Race. And right now you're in Big Bear, California for the Spartan Race there this weekend in the the Recovery ten.

Does this make you since you're participating in all of these spartan races across the country, including the one that's a scheduled for the Cincinnati area June tenth and eleventh in Lawrenceburg, does this make you instantly as spartan racist. Yes, yes,

it does, absolutely it does. It does, and I'll wear that. I will wear that proudly label proudly. Absolutely. All right, I want to find out more.

as cool as a sober Here's what I want to know. Why then can't I keep a producer for more than a few months at a time, Because I'm sure as soon as you get really in the groove and comfortable with this and reading the sports because you're you're not really a sports guy necessarily. No. I mean, you know, Elliott's a sports guy in the fact that he was a degenerate gambler on sports. But but I mean, do you have any idea why this? You know, I blame I blame Danny Gleeson.

I like to refer to these as they with weird news stories from around the United States and around the globe. Here is the aforementioned Tom Davis. Good morning, Gary, Jeff. This week, a cop in Florida is in big trouble for buying

fake eyelashes with a dead man's credit card. Officer Diane Farbarrow was on the scene of a nine one one call about a heart attack and the mantha scene died, so she whipped out her phone and she took a picture of his credit card number. She used it for lashes, hotels, and even a lunch at Wendy's. She was busted when the guy's wife notice charges were showing

up. The detectives from her own department busted her. Meanwhile, a teenager from Australia got fine sixty five dollars for wearing extra clothes on a flight. Adriana Ocampo had a bag that was overweight, so she thought of a clever way to board without paying a fee for being over the limit. She put on thirteen pounds of clothes and then tried to get on the plane. The authorities on site didn't think it was all that clever. They let her board,

but they did find her the sixty five dollars anyway. Keith Haberfield from Margate, Florida under arrest after a dining dash at Windy's. He was there around two o'clock in the morning, having breakfast with his friends before walking out and trying to leave without paying. His server came out to confront the group of guys when Haberfield hit the gas in his Dodge Avenger and rammed the server. This guy lands on the hood of the car and is hanging off for

dear life as Haberfield swerving back and forth trying to throw him off. The server eventually tossed has to be taken to the hospital with injuries. Cott's caught up to this guy later at his house and finally, you can now get married in space. No bazo shaped rocket required. A company called Space Perspective

of those guys they thought they sprayed people. What a great version of that song. The history of the song, of course, was written for Ringo for the album They Were Coming, and Paul and John originally called this bad Finger Boogie, and there was the inspiration for the band Bad Finger later their name, and John composed the melody on a piano with his middle finger because

his fourth finger was broken. So that's the story behind that song. Now, Joe Cocker's version radical Arrangement you heard from the original influenced greatly BIOWETHA Franklin, Ray Charles, his background soward tempo than the original, Jimmy Page on guitar, and just an incredible version. And Paul McCartney, who first heard it said, man, he listened to us that it was just mind blowing, totally turned this song into a social anthem, and I'm grateful for him

for doing that, so totally different. But just is this song and of course then the sing song for the sole reason show the Wonder Years and yeah, it was on the documentary Woodstock and then two weeks later at the Isle of Right festival and number one record in England here in the market. Made

the charts, but didn't make the big pop music well you know. And so that's the thing that we need to note, Jim, is that sometimes songs when they were released, they don't go to number one, and they don't have a high chart position, but they have a longer shelf life than a lot of songs that do go to number one, don't you agree? Absolutely all right? So up next in our list is what you described and has been described by others as the very first rock and roll record. Tell

me about this. Yeah, this is a big debate now, but in nineteen ninety one, after a great deal of debate, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognized this is the first rock and roll song ever recorded. I turn it was in jail at the time for the recognition of the honor for cocaine possessions. So just thought were accepted on his behalf. Now this song I was hitting with Sam Phillips and Sun Records and he played this song for me and he said, this is the first roper world record. This

was years and years ago. It became a number one record this week in nineteen fifty one. It like hung around forever in the rhythm and blues didn't cross over into the pop field. This is song done on the record. It says Jackie Branston and his Delta Cats. It was really Turner and his kings of rhythm. And what they did was they just borrowed. They borrowed this from nineteen forty seven songs Cadillac Boogie by Jimmy Liggins. It has that

same twelve bar blues beat to it. And what happened with Sam Phillips was telling the story when they got to the studio in Memphis, amp the amplifier, the bass amplifier fell off the car got it into the studio and the whiffer had broken that the cone was burst. So Sam took some newspaper and stuck some stack paper in it, and that's where they got that sound that he said, you know, this could bird be well be the first song

that was the feature guitar distortion. Now the guys in the band independently who paid something like twenty bucks for the session. And what had happened was the label was messed up. It was really like Turner, but it put Jackie Brinston on with a different name, and I was very upset by that. Jackie Brenston turned around and sold the song for nine hundred ten dollars of Sam Phillips. And it's very interesting. I turned. His piano is the intro

on mil Richard's Big Hits, Good Dolly, Miss Molly right. So the song becomes this giant rhythm and blues record. General Motors turns away. It gives Jackie a brand new Rocket eighty eighth to thank him for the publicity, and I turned it disgusted. He said something, dude, if the record company beat me and only got forty bucks for writing, producing and recording this song, and the lead singer, Jackie Brenston, then took my band from me and went on his OD. So well, I still had money to

buy cocaine, so let's do it. Rocket eighty eight Baby Jackie Brenston is Delta cant possibly the first rock and roll records ever recorded. From nineteen fifty one on Rock and Roll archaeot You wantn have heard of the life as you heard the knowing they made. But let me re induce my new Rocket eighty eight dance its bed just one week. Everybody likes my Rocket eight eight be

the riding style booming all along. He ain't more than this, smart and designed like credible top and the cows going by throwing with me right now, Rondo. You cannot have rock and roll without booging and woogie baby, that's phenomenal. I want that my record collection. Good luck finding a copy of

that. Jim Lebarba, the music professor, with us this morning on seven l W four Rock and Roll Archaeology, and up next it was Steve Wonder Stevie Wonder's birthday last weekend, but we saved a Stevie Wonder track for this weekend because this was a number one record, correct, Jim, Yeah, number one record this week in nineteen seventy three, You have the sunshine of

my life and the sunshine of Stevie Wonder's life. When he wrote this song was Rita Sarrita Wright who he married in nineteen seventy four years earlier, and she started off at Motown. She was a secretariant, but she was also great talented. Co wrote Stevie's big hit, sign Field and delivered I'm Yours. This was his devotion, so Rita and he wrote the song. But the relationship was it was difficulty. They got divorced. She said. The

working relationship was tough. I was always living in his shadow. But the song, if you listen to it, Stevie wondered. It's very interesting Stevie Wonder doesn't start singing right away on this record for whatever reason. Is backup singers Jim Jill Scrap and Lanny Groves handled the first two lines. It's a pretty strange effect. It's like Stevie Wonder needs to rely on somebody, some of his friends to speak for him, you know, and while he struggles

to find his own voice. But of course, you know, Stevie finds it and then he's often flying. And the lyrics are about being limped amazed by the person next to you, even if you've known that person for years. Great lyrics. I feel like this is the beginning. So I've left you for a million years, and I if I ever thought our love was ending, I'd find myself drunning in my own tears. Oh, wonderful stuff. Let's do it. Number one from STEVELN. Junkins Stevie wonder you are

the sunshine of my life. Good morning christa two point Oh, if you're awaken, you are the sunshine of my life. This why I'll always be right. You are the forever you'll stay in my heart.

And one more to recount Jim in our list of records we're remembering this morning.

Go ahead, Yeah, guys celebrated the birthday on Thursday. Albert Hammond had the one Big hit in nineteen seventy two and Never Rains in Southern California and the Wrecking Croup from La is of course the background on this and he wrote it with his partner in Mike Hazelwood, and the song goes well, he

said it never ranged it and he wrote this song. It started. He started writing The Left with Michael and before they came to Los Angeles, and they knew what they were coming to Los Angeles, and he was telling his partner the story of him, and he said, you know, I was in Spain when I started, and I was asking for money outside of the train station because I had no money to eat and I didn't want to tell my parents. My countin was on honeymoon and he came out of the train

station saw me. Didn't even know I didn't know it was him. He recognized me, and I just asked him for some money, like I asked everybody else. And he said, you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm gonna tell your father and I said, oh no, please don't tell my dad. Don't tell my dad. Still go crazy and he'll stop me from doing this. Well, then he took him back to the hotel, gave the bath him some clean clothes and some money. He moved on back.

He said, my cousin told my dad, and all these things in a song like will you tell them struggling the folks back home, tell the folks back home, I nearly made it, and all that stuff that came from that era when his life, when he was struggling trying to make it, trying to get from from Morocco to Spain, from Spain to England, from England to America, and the struggle that he went true. He said, that's it. That's my life. It never rains in southern California, the

story of my life. There you go, Albert Hammond jim as always, thank you, my friend. You are truly the music professor.

In twenty twenty three the Nike MLB City Connects Series uniform program. There have already been four teams, actually three, the Braves, Arrangers, and the Mariners who have debuted their their uniform, and each team is going to have one. The Reds will debut their uniform tonight against the New York Yankees at Great American

Ballpark. Black and red, basically black the predominant color. I think they're off the charts. They're so good. I think they're super cool. If there's one thing that I know about is style. And just when I sit there and looked at what's the funny about that? Yeah, okay, well just the black niform. But you know, I like the red color. That's like a candy alcohol red. I've never seen that color. But I

think that's the best uniform that I've ever seen on a baseball player. I give Ralph Mitchell and his people a lot of credit to Ralph is a Red's vice president of communications and marketing for the club, and they talked about how the other teams seemed to go back in time and pick out some highlights from their past. He said, we didn't do that. We're looking toward the future, and that in and of itself makes his uniform radically different from most

of the rest of them. So Ralph deserves the credit right well, he and people that helped him design the uniform and the overall concept. Can I throughout a suggestion, maybe you should ask Ralph to update your attire because I think it's looking tired and I think you need to upgrade. We'll be back in a moment.

So anyway, moving along, it's time for a Science Minute with our friends Science Mike, who's standing by for real science, not the alarmist science tempature is going to be scorching this summer as a night scientist because get surviving binding needed. Good morning, Michael, how are you? Hasn't even happened, and we're always saying it's going to happen. Okay, Yeah, we were supposed to be underwater by now, according to the predictions

twenty years ago. Well, this is somewhat related to what we're talking about. Well, it gets a point here, Carrie. Back to back in March, we had the news outlets and I think this one also talked about the hood on raccoon dog infection jumping to the humans story. Yeah, a good example. One of the headlines was this is really strong indicase is from one of the authors of the paper, strong indication that the amibles at the

market were effected. There's really no other exclamation that makes any sense, right, So, you know, sets, that's that's fine. We'll just see what happens when it finally gets reviewed by other people peer reviewed, and it was peer reviewed by doctor Jesse Bloom to the top, the top computational viologist at the Fred Hudginson Institute. Yes, and he pulled the data. Now, all this stuff is based on swabs taken in two years prior and and

data finally released by the Chinese to the international community. And these swabs were taken one month after the first COVID positive tests in this who non market, and it's all based on the southwest corner of this market where they took these swaps, and they finally released all the data. Okay, so the gentleman where the doctor referred to doctor Blue, and he went ahead and looked at

it. And there's one swab in particular. It is called the Q sixty one swab, and it says, you know what they said, we got we got raccoon dog jesetic material, we got stars jenic material. It's evidence that hey, this raccoon dog spread the disease. Well, there were fourteen swabs taken thirteen oh, the fourteen had no indication of stars at all. And in the material the fourteenth swab that all this is based on, it

was one and two hundred million reads that had stars. In other words, if you had two hundred million marbles that were read and he had one blue one, that was going to be that say that that's the one that made it. That were evidence that, hey, we've got stars in this in this genetic material that we took swabs from, and this pu non market in a little southwest corner of this market, and it's just statistically insignificant. There's

no evidence at all that this started it. No, I mean, there's the evidence that when anything happened, it jumped from the human into the raccoon dogs. Now, the evidence that it started in the market would have been if Anthony Fauci had been there a couple of years before in the market helping the raccoon dogs with their gain of function research. The big big picture, we're reporting news that's not peer reviewed that we're and we're saying, and we're

and we're putting it out. I mean, it's just just irresponsible. Well it's it's gets alarmist, and it has an agenda, and it's propagandized. It's propaganda. It's not news. It's like, you know, anybody, anybody I get my news from, anybody I get in my news from in this country, better not be sourcing the World Socialist News Network, Okay, because I know I'm gonna be lied to every time. I haven't heard this

study public broadcast at all. I haven't seen at the times I haven't seen anywhere, but yet we go ahead and go the other way with it. I mean just because because it wasn't about finding the truth or finding science. It was about the truth. One and two aren't billion stars material. And it started with a raccoon dog. Never let Anthony Faucci near a dog. You look what he's done with beagles. Thank you science, Mike, appreciate

Uh and on pins and needles, so the entire time,

Yes, so big weekend, Uh your take. I know you'd probably seen him before, but it was the debut of the new Reds uniforms and what does that matter accept for some new merch sales and the marketing employees. I like them, and you know, yeah, I think understanding what they're trying to accomplish with those, you know, I think whenever there's a new uniform, and this isn't just baseball and it's not just here, I think there's an expectation that it's going to be some sort of nod to the past

or a throwback look or something like that. And I'm all in on that, man. I mean a couple of years ago when the Red celebrated in one hundred anniversary, and you know, they basically, at some point in the season wore every uniform in the history of the franchise. I loved a

lot of those looks. But but not every new UNI has to be an homage to the past, and so I wouldn't want that to be the regular look, to be honest with you, and I am saying to my wife last night, I sort of think the black top would look better with white pants. But that's that's not what they're doing. It's not what they're doing across baseball. But I thought I thought the look was was pretty cool.

I guess they're going to wear them on a bunch of Friday nights. I would imagine the players aren't going to be thrilled us they ever had to wear them on a Sunday afternoon game or something like that. But I thought, aesthetically they looked good and I wish they would have won wearing them last night.

Remember when Michael Jordan came back and he was wearing the forty five instead of the twenty three, and there was such a clubbub and furor over all of that, and it was obviously just a way for Nike or whoever to make more money by selling more Michael Jordan's jerseys, because now you had to have the forty five along with the twenty three. But the uniform thing, to me is kind of you know, is it aesthetically pleasing? Okay? Is it cool looking? Okay? But it's you know, it's smacks of

obvious. You know, it's it's capitalism and it's finest. So I guess I love it, no question about it. I mean, you can call it capitalism, you can call it a cash grab, whatever it is. Here's what I could tell you. Down to the area near the A Team store last Saturday morning when they debuted the Jerseys right and merch was flying off the shelves. So that's obviously the intended purpose, and I think, at least in the short term, at worked. So having the Yankees in town

is kind of neat. The Reds actually won their last series with the Yankees last year in New York, not off to a fly and start last night, and I just I was wondering, if David Bell had been still on the bench managing, would he have pulled out Been Lively for that last batter, just for a situational opportunity when Ben Lively had actually been going so well. I mean, he'd given up the home run to Air and Judge,

but everybody gives up a home run to air and judge. And he'd walked the you know, he'd walk the third out of Danning, and you know, here comes the hook and it's not even the actual manager doing he the interim manager or the acting manager at the time. Was that a good move or not? Because I don't think. I don't think that Ben Lively gives up a two run shot. Yeah, yeah, I you know, for me, I would have stayed with Ben for at least one more hitter just

because there aren't a ton of great options in the bullpen. But you know, pretty benefities might have been the guy whose name was on the move. But when the manager gets picked out, it's it's not like he leaves the stadium and has to relinquish his cell phone. He's usually just down the runway and can very very easily communicate, you know, what he wants to happen.

So I don't know that the move is made differently. And you know, look, I'm just having watched David manage for you know what it's been for and a half years. I think I think that's I think he would have made that move had he been in a dugout and and that wasn't all that surprising. But yeah, it backfired, and I would have I would have stayed with Ben Lively because he pitched very well last night. Oh yeah,

I don't think he was necessarily limping to the finish line. And there just aren't a ton of uber, reliable options in that bullpen, and the bullpen unfortunately last night. At times this year collectively, they've been okay. Last night the exact opposite. It's the first time my wife had seen Aaron Judge. We were watching on TV. First time my wife had ever seen Aaron Judge, and she was just like, oh my god, he's a giant. I see, yes he is. He is not a mere mortal.

You know. He may bleed red like the rest of us and need oxygen to breathe, but other than that, he is not like the rest of us. He is quite the amazing specimen. Is he not six foot seven, two hundred and eighty five pounds. I mean, he's he looks like an NFL defensive end. He looks like a big NFL defensive end.

And you know, I was thinking about that this week because you know, they were in Toronto and there was the controversy with Aaron Judge looking back toward the catcher, looking back towards the home dugout, and the Toronto Blue Jays broadcast crew accusing him of stealing signs, which, by the way, is completely legal. You're allowed to steal signs, you're you're not allowed to use

electronics to steal signs. But I asked, I'm like, all right, if you're the Blue Jays and you're upset at Aaron Judge for doing that, what are you going to do about it because you know, again, he's six foot seven, two hundred and eighty five pounds. Who's going to be the guy that beams Aaron Judge? And so what what did the Blue Jays do? They instead chose to take out their anger at him on the Yankees third base coach by you know, yelling at him to get out of the

way and blah blah blah. And that's what you do when you don't want to really take out your frustration on the guy that you're frustrated with because he's six foot seven, two hundred and eighty five pounds. Well, you know, I think the key for see anybody playing the Yankees, whether it's the Reds or anybody else this season is, you know what, let Aaron Judge hit his solo home run. Don't let the rest of the Yankees beat you. Don't you think that's a pretty good plan of action. Yeah, don't

don't bring him to the play with guys on base. Um, don't let you know, especially in that ballpark, he's gonna hit solo home runs against Okay, you can't let him hit. You can't let him hit three run homers against you. You can't let him clear the basses. Um, that's the strategy I think whenever there's a really good power hitter. You know, we used to back in the day when when Barry Bonds would just torment the

Reds, you understood you were going to give up a solo homer. It was the guys around him that you had to keep from getting on base,

You had to keep from extending innings after he hit a Homer. And the same applied, The same applies to Aaron Judge, and the same sent re applies this weekend, my friend west Side Jim was on with us just before the break before at this half hour Mo and I was talking about his continuing bromance with Joe Burrow, especially with the new buffed up look and the headband, and poor west Side Jim has gone from like most of us were in

the seventies, with full wall posters of fair of Faucet on our bedroom wall, to full full wall posters of Joe Burrow with a headband buffed up on his wall. Was some of the similar results. Any comments, he's probably not alone, I mean, first of all, Joe is more buffed up. It's hard not to notice. No, definitely, there are very very, very very few of us who can pull off the headband. Joe Burrow

is on that very short list. And it's funny. I think Fanatics, which is the official NFL NFL you know, team online, team store supplier, I think they sold out of Bengals headbands, which tells you there's gonna be a whole lot of dudes going out this summer trying to copy the Joe Burrow looks with almost no success, including pop perhaps Westy Jim. Yes, well, you have to have hair to actually rock a headband. That part of the requirement and I don't got it, So I'm not doing it.

You're not doing it. Well. I know what Cigar Sales did after Joe Burrow was caught smoking the stogy. Yeah, I'm all in on that one. I know, all in on that not so much, and that's a good look for you. I've been watching We watched a little bit of the PGA tournament, the second round from Rochester, the PGA Championship, and just remarked at at the incredible you know golfers that are gathered there that are in contention, you know, as the weekend looms, including Bryson Deshambo for the

first time in a long time. We see the now live golfer who was you know, in the top four so far, and we'll see what happens with the power and the physics at work there for Bryson. But I don't know if you get a chance to watch any golf this weekend, but it's definitely on on my radar. Yeah, you know, it was funny you brought up Bryson de Shambo and owing to the fact that he's on the live tour, which you know, frankly just not a lot of people are paying

very close attention to. I was on the air yesterday and I looked up and it was on and there he is a top the leaderboard and I kind of was like, wow, yeah him, Yes, and always one of the more fun to watch golfers on tour. That sport is on fire right now, and I think a big reason why is gambling. I think it's it's the sport that has benefited most from from wagering because it's it's easy to bet on. You know, there's now a ton of like fantasy golf leagues,

you could bet on a player, you know. I think a lot of folks just okay, you know, I'm gonna pick this guy to win. The odds are always is, you know, favorable just for value, but because you know, there's there's never like an even money favored in golf because the fields are so big, you can, you know, you can create all sorts of different prop bets. You can bet on guys to finish in the top ten, you can bet on guys to make the cut.

You can bet on one player to have a better weekend than another. I think the mainstreaming and legalization in most parts of the country are many parts of the country and sports wagering has really aided professional golf and and that, and I think the fact that there's just a number of really sort of interesting magnetic players on the tours has really allowed that sport. You know, a lot of folks wondered, you know, well, when Tiger Woods has done,

what's going to happen to the sport? And you know, clearly it's it's more fun if Tiger is playing. But we're kind of in this post Tiger world and that sport's doing really really well. Well. I hope you continue to do really really well and have fun. On Crowsley's sixth birthday today, that's that's remarkable. I remember when we could hardly get through one of these conversations without her trying to chime in. Well, I usually just sort of

go into another room. Now, but she doesn't follow like she used to, right exactly, you know what, And that that will be a kind of bittersweet thing for dad as she follows her less and less. All right,

mo, take care, have a wonderful weekend. Mike Allen, Saturday Midday is just about ready to start, boy bunches to talk about, mostly the federal bumbling incompetence based in Washington, d C. The FBI, and what the Durham Report has exposed, what the whistleblowers have exposed in their testimony before Congress, and now we're finding out more abuses of something called Section seven O two, which is supposed to be investigations they were allowed to do on

foreigners, not Americans, and they've been using it to investigate and stalk illegally people who were just at January six didn't enter the Capitol, and I mean thousands records that they have violated the constitution that just broke last night, and we're going to touch on that too. I'll tell you what you start scratching the surface of what's going on in the upper echelons. Not the line function, not the special agents assigned to investigations, but that hierarchy of the FBI.

They need to clean that place. So we have a field office right and back of us. I know, I wonder if you and I are being investigated just for talking about this. That's what I want. You know what, Gary, Jeff, My guess is is that the line guys, the everyday special agents, probably agree with us. They got to be tired of it too, because it reflects on them. Well, when you have James Coomey and Andrew McCabe and Peters Struck of all people saying, oh this

is there's nothing there. I know, when they were at the heart of what exactly is wrong with the FBI? And how about the New York Times and the Washington Post. One of them said that he's durham swung and missed nothing found in the investigation, and then the other one said that basically there was nothing there. They didn't cover it. But I'll tell you what, there's plenty there. If you want the real story from major news outlets, look to the New York Post, not the New York Times. Look to

the Washington Times, not the Washington Post or the Washington Examine. Oh yes, and you'll get a lot closer to reality as far as reporting and fair, even handed reporting. Who's on the show today, I just have one guess, Actually two guests got Yiddio at eleven thirty talk about the region. By the way, Lucas Sims starts tonight, I thought it was Luke Weaver. No, Lucas Simms starts tonight. Only reason I know is I'm going ah So anyway, we're gonna talk to yet at eleven thirty. We're gonna

talk at ten o'clock to Judge Kurt Hartman. Two big cases announced by the United States Supreme Court on Thursday having to do with Twitter and Google, and we're gonna have him lay all that out. All right. Fantastic Saturday Midday with Mike Allen is next. Have a wonderful weekend, and if you want to drop by and CMLB slinging drinks for Hillbillies and others at six twenty eight Mama Street in Newport from eleven to seven today seven WLW.
