Speaker 4 (05:03):
From a few things I've observed about you, I get
the impression that you are a religious person. Well, would
you describe yourself that way?

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, I go to church every Sunday and Wednesday. I'm
at home, you know, in town. If I'm not on
the road, because a lot of times you can't on
the road because there just isn't you know, you're traveling
and you're either have to get up early to go
to make a.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Show or something like that.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
But every Wednesday and Sunday i'm home, I go to church.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Does your religious beliefs do your religious beliefs ever come
into conflict with the songs you sing?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Well, yes they do.

Do you lay off of that type of song or
drinking songs?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Well, I try to if it really comes in contact
with my belief I really do.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
I don't like to tell the glamourus side of drinking
and cheat.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
You know, there's a lot of guys, you know, like
sing about drinking and cheating and which a lot of
it goes on. Of course, you know, that's life. But
the thing about it is. I don't try to sing
about it if it gets too deep.

Speaker 4 (06:13):

song it.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
You know, when it came out, I think it was
compared to One Time to I Can't Stop Loving You.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, which is you know, melodies have a lot of similarities,
and these days and times, you've got ten million songs
and only a few melodies, and there's some of them
bound to rub off on somebody else.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
I think they're from around San Diego doing proud merry.
People sometimes think that Betty Crocker tests the Gold Medal
recipes are salt. That's not quite how it works. They're
first tested in the Betty Crocker kitchens. Then they're tested again,
sum up to one hundred times by homemakers in their
own kitchens. That's right, in homes just like yours. Whether

(12:10):
you're baking a delicate old fashioned pumpkin pie or extra
rich Bonnie butter cake, or a superb Yorkshire pudding with
roast beef, with Betty Crocker's tested recipes, you know that
your creations can be great. Even a beginner can turn
out a magnificent Williamsburg orange cake. Remember, Betty Crocker recipes
have been tested up to one hundred times in homes

(12:33):
just like yours. So pick up a sack of Gold
Medal flour and take home a Betty Crocker recipe, cause
that's where gold medal belongs in a home just like yours. Now, Billy,
why don't you bring on this young rascal from Uvaldy, Texas.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Alrighty, here's a young fellow that's really making a name
for himself with a great Mercury record called Pass Me

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, So that's you know, as we were talking about earlier,
there are so many songs and h you know there's
only eight notes in the scale. Well, then you know

INTERTWINEDE intertwined.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
That's a good word. Barbara Fairchild a Teddy Bear song.
Now I will take a break for a message from
Paul Atte.

Speaker 9 (19:36):
I remember, I can remember when my little sister Jenny
was just a baby.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
Mother would put her in the crib in the kitchen
where she could keep an eye on her and do
the bacon at the same time. Mother stayed so busy.
It was only natural that she makes some little mistakes,
like in measuring. But she said that gold metal flour
and a Betty Crocker recipe gave her the margin.

Speaker 9 (20:07):
For era that she needed. Once, when she took one
of her wonderful cakes out of the oven, little.

Speaker 7 (20:15):
Jenny looked up, squealed and clapped her hands, and Mother laughed,
said we had named this cake for her, and I
remember that always after that we called it a Jenny cake.
