Hi Friends-
Happy Easter & Passover!
It’s been a couple of days. I’ve lost 30 pounds since I retired. So I am doing test (the colonoscopy was 100% fine) and the blood work revealed nothing wrong. So next up – scans. I think it just may be that I ate at McDonald’s or fast food anywhere five days a week. Now I eat fruit or omelets. I think I gotta start milkshakes.
My kids and grandkids are doing well. Kathy and I drove to Jersey to see my granddaughter’s play Spamalot. It was great. WTIT is still recording in our 52nd year. Johnnie’s death was a bummer, but we’ve marched on.
One of my best elementary school & on – friend was Bouncing Billy. He recorded with us from 1967 (he & I did the first tape) to 1974 & once in 1985. He was a cop and drifted away due to ours & such. In 2013 I emailed him. He has been back with us 2013- longer than the first time. We record every other month, and he and I pick a sporting event to attend on the “off months”. I am SO lucky he’s back. Takes a lot of the pain away.
Meanwhile Rock’s job is so demanding that when he can he just calls and I try to rally the boys in the band. Monday night it was just Rock & I and we recorded our 611th session.
I think of you guys every weekend. I hope to join you more. Peace & love-
Bud
1. Have you ever had chicken pox? I had it while I was about 4 years-old. There was “The Great Flood” of 1955 and we had no power. Everything that I wanted to do (remember I was 5) they said, “Dr. Harvey doesn’t want you to do that!” At one point, I got up and my mother said, “Where are you going?” I responded, “To the bathroom if Dr. Harvey don’t mind!”
drove the good guys out of hardware. Kinda like Blockbuster drove out the video stores. (This I mention since I owned a chain of video stores in the 80s (1981-1990). They did not ruin my business. But had it gone another way, they would have.
6. Have you ever lied about your age? I don’t know if I did it as a youngin’. Not now. I don’t do it as an adult. Wait. There was this one time when I was 41 and my date was21. She asked if I was as old as her father. I asked his age. She said he was 38. I said, “I’m not that near your dad’s age.”
1. Did you date someone from your school? I was a big dater. My record was four dates on one weekend. I was kind of the jerk I used to play in this space. It was easy for me to reprise the role. But the truth is that I was very single in 2006 when I started this blog. But between then and now I’ve been in two serious relationships. The current one (met in 2010) resulted in marriage. But nothing is simple.
station in your sophomore year is nerdy. I wonder what the people who came to all our parties whould think of us still recording.
read Harold Robbins “The Adventurers” which took place in South America. So I was learning all the swears. He called on me to get up and give a talk. (Not unusual. He did it everyday to someone.) So I asked the topic. He said “Maria.” I responded. Maria es un puta con tetas muy bonitas rojas y grande.” The class looked dumbfounded because they did not understand. The teacher was rolling on the floor laughing. When asked what I’d said he said, “Ask Bud after class…” I got an “A” for that. Oh what I said meant, “Maria is a whore with big fat red tits.”
DJs at WTIT for our 50th. Two of the four wrote back updating their lives. They were in it for the parties. Tape Radio was a means. Although nearly everyone of us did college radio.
1. What is your favorite sit-down restaurant? I prefer standup restaurants. I can work with weights on my calves and thighs while dining.
01 What is the worst nickname that anyone has ever called you? I had a Russian girlfriend who called me her little “hа самом деле, вы смотрели это дерьмо?”
wrote these questions. Who the fuck cares about fave colors?
09 What is the best present you ever received? My first digital computer, a Sony Vaio was given to me by a guy thanking me for the business . He had never even heard a recording session. But he loved the concept. And while that computer died a decade ago, I still use Sony Vaio software to edit my music. It’s all I’ve known, digitally speaking.
back because the pain in my shoulders is still horrible. But it’s not as bad as it was the first few weeks when I had to take even more of pain meds to get through it. But I went with dealing with the pain instead of continuing the extra meds.
