(04:38):
And Bobby, you have not had a record out for
some time prior to your new record too many nights alone.
Why is that? Well, it's a long story, elf. I've
changed record labels, I changed less gee, it is a
year a year ago. And the reason I haven't had
a record out is is when one contract is up,
(05:02):
you can't record until it's completely finished. So by the
time my one contract was up and I had finished
the album project and it got released, then almost a
year had elapsed. And I've been really known to do
things in a big hurry anyhow, so it took me
(05:26):
quite a while to get it all finished. What was
your last record before this?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I don't remember. You mean my last hit or last record?
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Was it? The Huntsville Present thing.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
No, I think it was drop kick Me Jesus. The
last I was thinking there was something since that time
may have been I think I think they kind of
put out a thing called uh it was never redneck
hippie Romance. Okay, it wasn't really a release. It just
sort of was out and I was gone and nothing
(05:57):
really happened.
Speaker 6 (05:57):

Silverstein wrote it, and you may have heard it in
Evan's album. I'm not sure, but never as a single.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
No even was on our program. Did a cameo appearance
when we had Eddie Rabbit on the program. I believe
he came in one night and said hello.

Alone, Bobby Bear strikes again, Bobby singing too many nights alone.
You know I was recently up in eastern Kentucky Bobby
and I flew into an out of Huntington, West Virginia,
(10:16):
and which is a part of that Ashland Huntington, Ironton,
Ohio complex. That they're sort of triple cities, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
They called it the tri state area.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Anyway, they're very proud that you're from that part of
the country.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Well, I'm glad. That makes me feel good. I don't
get to spend much time up there too much anymore.
I usually only go back when I don't get You
don't go through there much. You only show up when
somebody dies or something. You are from Ironton, Ohio, right.
I was born raised down in that southeastern Ohio, and
(10:53):
I lived a lot in Kentucky too. I started school
in Kentucky.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Where'd you go to school?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Blackie started in Blackie, Kentucky.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Where in the world is Blackie Kentucky?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I don't know. I was only five years old at that.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
I assume it's over just across the river there.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
No, it's farther down south. It's down in the real
cold country. It's probably sixty or seventy miles south of there.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Down there, Pikeville or Paintsville.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's closer to Paintsville.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Yeah, that's the low right of Land country, Crystal Gale country.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Right. Well, I spent a lot of time there. As
a matter of fact. My mother, my mother is buried
down there, right outside of Hindman and when I was
five years old. And I have a lot of relatives
that lived there. Smith, my grandfather Smith. I went to
Hyneman a few years ago whenever he passed away.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Did your mother passed away when you were five? Right?
I see.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
And I have a lot of relatives in that part
of the country, Smith's and Conley's. Now they're all related
to me. But don't anybody get excited, because there's about
every other person it's either a Smith or a comedy
in that part of the country.

Doctors recommend aspirin twice as often as any other pain reliever.
You hear lots of claims for pain relievers about strength
and speed and gentleness, but you should know this. Doctors
recommend aspirin twice as often as any other pain reliever.
That's just one reason people choose Bayer again and again.
(14:26):
Bayer aspirin has relieved more pain than any medication in history.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Use only as directed.

my guest. We're in the eastern Kentucky coalfield country with
our conversation, and here's up pops, Gary Stewart, and he's
from over there.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Bobby, Yeah, we were just talking about Gary. I guess
he moved from there to Florida right after when he
was a kid. But that's poor country. Used to be
people there got a lot of money. Now told that
coal miners making making more money than he'll Billy singers.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Will did uh? Did did any of your folks ever
mind coal over there?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh yeah, that's what they did. It's what everybody did that.
I remember. They were mine coal and uh sold moonshine.
And that's back. I even I mind coal, Uh not
as a job. I went back underneath the hill and
dug out coal for our own personal use. I've done
(16:34):
that myself. That's where I learned to chew tobacco from.
Uh from this old man taught me how to chew.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Was he a coal mine?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah? We, he and I were together in this. I
I'd help, I'd help dig the coal and get it out,
and that was his mind. And then we'd split. I'd
help him get his and because he couldn't do it
by himself.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
How old were you then, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Twelve thirteen.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
You were a twelve year old kid chewing the back.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Of Yeah, I thought I was real something chewing and spitting.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
The first time you ever choot it? Did it just about?
Where are you out? No?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It really didn't. I never did. I've seen people really
get sick chewing, but it never did bother me like that.
I Uh, I remember I did a TV show once
in La. It was a talk show, panel show, and
it was sponsored by uh one plug chewing the back
of Bullet of the Woods or something like that, And
(17:35):
somehow I wound up with a plug of chewing and
I knew they were finished talking with me, and the
guy said, well stick around, and I said okay, and
I took a big bite out of it about the
time he introduced the next act, which was somebody else
plugging the record. And as he walked on to be interviewed,
I said you want some? He said, yeah, man, and
(17:58):
I thought he knew what he was doing, but didn't
work that way. Poor guy got sick, threw up all
over the place.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
You Meanwhile, they were trying to interview me.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Threw up while they were trying to interview him. He
swallowed once and then then he realized that he had
done something real wrong and it was running down his cheeks.
He's holding his holding his head up in the air
to keep and trying to talk at the same time
and not swallowing. It was just getting all eating him alive. Oh,
(18:26):
the poor guy got sick and run off and through
up all the curtains.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
