Speaker 2 (05:24):

Wasn't this also done at one time by the Everly

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.
(08:56):
Bayer aspirin has relieved more pain than any men education
in the history. Use only as directed.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
All right, mister Bear, I may have asked you this
before you have you had this jockey experience.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Not really, Ralph. The only time I ever actually did
DJ work was when some friends of mine who were
disc jockeys would get drunk or something and not make
the gig. I'd fill in for him, But I never
was too good at it, cause I uh, I talk
too slow.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
You you wouldn't be too hot in drive time, would you?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, I'd be just a little late.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
And what ware in drive time, which is uh peak
time on a radio station, usually about five in the
afternoon when people are driving home from work. Everything is
fast paced.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Alright, Well, I don't think i'd pump them up too much.
Short records and lots of commercials. Well then maybe maybe uh,
when people are jammed up in traffic and everything, maybe
they don't want to hear somebody's screaming at him. Maybe uh,
maybe a laid back approach would be pretty good. But well,
that would shirt be different. It would be different. I
bring on the next act here. All right, here's my friends,
(10:05):
the Statler Brothers, and do you know you all my sunshine?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, you know they were here two weeks ago and
I haven't gotten over that visit yet. It's a it's
a tough job interviewing four different guys. I'll tell you
what actually, with Harold giving you the needle throughout the
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Harold will turn your head around. I toured Canada and
the Northwest and that particular area with them on the tour,
and it's a great show. We'd sell out crowds everywhere
and it was quite an experience. Those boys, even though
they act crazy and everything. They were really serious about
(10:42):
their music and they're they're most serious about what they do.
And I think that's uh, I think that's a great
approach what they're doing. They know what they are, and
they know what they're doing and there's no doubt about it. Well,
let's get into one of their hits.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
He was spending in the crowd all along and looking
fray mist the music that play.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
He walked gotting whispered.
Speaker 15 (11:13):
I leaned down and listened a request that she made.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
You go, you know you are outside?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
He has so sleeping timber.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
You know you know you are outside show and looking
at in one long.
Speaker 3 (11:37):

Speaker 6 (11:40):
For to bar Ocean, to Osha.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And I still up for.
Speaker 10 (11:46):
Her every play, gazing the sunshine.
Speaker 15 (11:51):
Eating every night. I'm searching every crowd or fame. She
was gone, wait at the phone that the ass for
bage in my.
Speaker 10 (12:04):
Time can way. But someday when I finally loped down
and see her, know, guy, what I'm gonna say, dude,

Speaker 3 (12:51):

Speaker 1 (13:07):
All right, phill Ball's Lady Loude de Witt, Harold, Donnie Reid,
the Stipler Brothers, and do you know you are my sunshine?
There I see you or one of your classic hats
for this program.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
This is the old brown one.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
How many of those old hats have you got?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well? I get this from Gary Sifton here in town.
I had a black one that I got from Rodeo
Clown down in Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
In fact, you're pictured on a lot of your album
covers wearing old hat on your latest album, Is that
the old black one?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
No, that's the one I have on right now. I
guess I've been wearing cowboy hat for fifteen years. That's
a long time.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Bobby's hat is a lot like Don william old hat.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I think you think Don Williams hat is a whole
lot like mine.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You know I've never seen Don Williams outside of his
regular rig of blue jean jacket, blue jean pants and
cowboy hat.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Have you No, he's Don has been dressing like that
since I've known him, and he fits that image. You know.
It keeps up real good.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I told Don, we ought to do a show this
year with you and with him and maybe Gary Stewart.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well, that'd be an exciting show. Who could we get
to MC? If I would imagine we get chit Chit
Adkins to do the MC work, that'd be good for
drive time.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, that would certainly be laid back.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Let's move along to Merle Haggard, one of the top
songs I think one of the very best records of
nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Most of my life almost.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Beenn't when.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I've come so close but.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Never really warm. Just when I find I finally, may
I find myself back when I started.
Speaker 16 (15:31):
From I say I'm giving up, but I believe losing's
just come with life with me, losing wouldn't be so bad.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
At all with them allways on a mountain when I fall.
Then you came along and had had me believe in
(16:17):
for once in my life. My life finally change, And
now you say you.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Don't leave me?
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Seems everything I do wants the same.
Speaker 16 (16:47):
I ain't say giving up, but I believe losings just
because with life be me losing what means.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Put them always at mount when I fall?
Speaker 17 (17:15):
So bad?
Speaker 18 (17:18):
Mos all a mount, Merle Haggard, And I'm always on
a mountain when I fall.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
You know, city people may not mind following the crowd,
but out here folks like to go their own way,
to make their own choices. And when it comes to pickups,
that puts a big grint on your Ford dealer's face,
because choice he's got. For seventy eight, you can pick
a Ford pickup from the compact courier all the way
to husky three p fifties rated for two and a
(17:56):
half tons of payload. You might decide on a tough
double wall style side or a flare side shorty. If
you want more room than a regular cab offers, look
into Ford's Supercab. It's the roomiest two door there is,
big enough for a full with backseat, and for seventy eight,
Super Cab pickups give you a choice a four wheel
(18:17):
drive as well as two wheel drive. They're part of
Ford's lineup of four wheel drive pickups four seventy eight yep.
Ford builds a lot of pickups, and all of them tough,
because that's the only way Ford builds them. Take your
choice at your Ford Dealers. Now, Bobby Bears, my guest,
(18:38):
Bobby is back after a long absence from the record scene,
and later on in this program, maybe in our next show.
I want you to be thinking about how you discovered
Whylon Jennings.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Didn't you Well, me and a whole lot of us.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I don't want to go into the story now, but
I know you instrumental in discovering well, yeah, Whalen.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Right when Phoenix and you discovered Don Bowman?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Didn't you.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
More or less?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Ralph?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
You're embarrassing me?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Who else? How about Johnny Darrow'd you discover.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Him more or less?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah? Anybody I've left out?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Uh, I don't know. I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Huh. I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I sound like it would sound like I was bragging
and it embarrasses me.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Well, uh, that man from Phoenix you discovered it suddenly
turned the world on.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Well, he's long overdue, long overdue. He should have hap
him twelve fifteen years ago. Well, I waited a minute.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
You didn't bring him to chen Atkins till uh what
nineteen sixty five sixty four?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I think it was, Bobby.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Let's talk about four Strong Wins in this show. I
want to go back and play one of your hits
from the what the mid sixties? I guess about the
time you discovered Whaling Jennings right now.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
The fact is that's where I got the song.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I learned it from Whaling Four Strong Winds.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
He had this on an old album.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Right, He had it on a on a single record
in Phoenix on a what a local label?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah, had four Strong Winds and just satisfy you back
to back, and I uh me being on a major
label like RCA. Then I covered him on both sides.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Who's playing the dough bro here?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
On four Strong Winds? That is the very first Freddy
doughbro that you'll ever hear. That's uh Jerry Reives picking
at the the doughbro people. I guess it was senate
to Chet to see what he thought of it, and
Jerry picked it on this on my recording four Strong Winds,
and then Chet sent it back and the record turned
(20:47):
out to be a big hit and it was a
fresh sound, so everybody started using it and.

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.
(08:56):
Bayer aspirin has relieved more pain than any men education
in the history. Use only as directed.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
All right, mister Bear, I may have asked you this
before you have you had this jockey experience.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Not really, Ralph. The only time I ever actually did
DJ work was when some friends of mine who were
disc jockeys would get drunk or something and not make
the gig. I'd fill in for him, But I never
was too good at it, cause I uh, I talk
too slow.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
You you wouldn't be too hot in drive time, would you?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, I'd be just a little late.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
And what ware in drive time, which is uh peak
time on a radio station, usually about five in the
afternoon when people are driving home from work. Everything is
fast paced.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Alright, Well, I don't think i'd pump them up too much.
Short records and lots of commercials. Well then maybe maybe uh,
when people are jammed up in traffic and everything, maybe
they don't want to hear somebody's screaming at him. Maybe uh,
maybe a laid back approach would be pretty good. But well,
that would shirt be different. It would be different. I
bring on the next act here. All right, here's my friends,
(10:05):
the Statler Brothers, and do you know you all my sunshine?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, you know they were here two weeks ago and
I haven't gotten over that visit yet. It's a it's
a tough job interviewing four different guys. I'll tell you
what actually, with Harold giving you the needle throughout the
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Harold will turn your head around. I toured Canada and
the Northwest and that particular area with them on the tour,
and it's a great show. We'd sell out crowds everywhere
and it was quite an experience. Those boys, even though
they act crazy and everything. They were really serious about
(10:42):
their music and they're they're most serious about what they do.
And I think that's uh, I think that's a great
approach what they're doing. They know what they are, and
they know what they're doing and there's no doubt about it. Well,
let's get into one of their hits.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
He was spending in the crowd all along and looking
fray mist the music that play.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
He walked gotting whispered.
Speaker 15 (11:13):
I leaned down and listened a request that she made.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
You go, you know you are outside?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
He has so sleeping timber.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
You know you know you are outside show and looking
at in one long.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Time for me.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
For to bar Ocean, to Osha.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And I still up for.
Speaker 10 (11:46):
Her every play, gazing the sunshine.
Speaker 15 (11:51):
Eating every night. I'm searching every crowd or fame. She
was gone, wait at the phone that the ass for
bage in my.
Speaker 10 (12:04):
Time can way. But someday when I finally loped down
and see her, know, guy, what I'm gonna say, dude,
you know you know you are not side cats?
Speaker 16 (12:21):

the Spike. You're always gonna be dude, you know you

Speaker 2 (12:45):

Speaker 2 (12:50):
And what you do?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I'm a gi babe, dude, you know you know you

Speaker 1 (13:07):
All right, phill Ball's Lady Loude de Witt, Harold, Donnie Reid,
the Stipler Brothers, and do you know you are my sunshine?
There I see you or one of your classic hats
for this program.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
This is the old brown one.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
How many of those old hats have you got?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well? I get this from Gary Sifton here in town.
I had a black one that I got from Rodeo
Clown down in Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
In fact, you're pictured on a lot of your album
covers wearing old hat on your latest album, Is that
the old black one?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
No, that's the one I have on right now. I
guess I've been wearing cowboy hat for fifteen years. That's
a long time.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Bobby's hat is a lot like Don william old hat.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I think you think Don Williams hat is a whole
lot like mine.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You know I've never seen Don Williams outside of his
regular rig of blue jean jacket, blue jean pants and
cowboy hat.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Have you No, he's Don has been dressing like that
since I've known him, and he fits that image. You know.
It keeps up real good.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I told Don, we ought to do a show this
year with you and with him and maybe Gary Stewart.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well, that'd be an exciting show. Who could we get
to MC? If I would imagine we get chit Chit
Adkins to do the MC work, that'd be good for
drive time.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, that would certainly be laid back.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Let's move along to Merle Haggard, one of the top
songs I think one of the very best records of
nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Most of my life almost.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Beenn't when.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I've come so close but.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Never really warm. Just when I find I finally, may
I find myself back when I started.
Speaker 16 (15:31):
From I say I'm giving up, but I believe losing's
just come with life with me, losing wouldn't be so bad.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
At all with them allways on a mountain when I fall.
Then you came along and had had me believe in
(16:17):
for once in my life. My life finally change, And
now you say you.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Don't leave me?
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Seems everything I do wants the same.
Speaker 16 (16:47):
I ain't say giving up, but I believe losings just
because with life be me losing what means.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Put them always at mount when I fall?
Speaker 17 (17:15):
So bad?
Speaker 18 (17:18):
Mos all a mount, Merle Haggard, And I'm always on
a mountain when I fall.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
You know, city people may not mind following the crowd,
but out here folks like to go their own way,
to make their own choices. And when it comes to pickups,
that puts a big grint on your Ford dealer's face,
because choice he's got. For seventy eight, you can pick
a Ford pickup from the compact courier all the way
to husky three p fifties rated for two and a
(17:56):
half tons of payload. You might decide on a tough
double wall style side or a flare side shorty. If
you want more room than a regular cab offers, look
into Ford's Supercab. It's the roomiest two door there is,
big enough for a full with backseat, and for seventy eight,
Super Cab pickups give you a choice a four wheel
(18:17):
drive as well as two wheel drive. They're part of
Ford's lineup of four wheel drive pickups four seventy eight yep.
Ford builds a lot of pickups, and all of them tough,
because that's the only way Ford builds them. Take your
choice at your Ford Dealers. Now, Bobby Bears, my guest,
(18:38):
Bobby is back after a long absence from the record scene,
and later on in this program, maybe in our next show.
I want you to be thinking about how you discovered
Whylon Jennings.

turned the world on.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Well, he's long overdue, long overdue. He should have hap
him twelve fifteen years ago. Well, I waited a minute.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
You didn't bring him to chen Atkins till uh what
nineteen sixty five sixty four?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I think it was, Bobby.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Let's talk about four Strong Wins in this show. I
want to go back and play one of your hits
from the what the mid sixties? I guess about the
time you discovered Whaling Jennings right now.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
The fact is that's where I got the song.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I learned it from Whaling Four Strong Winds.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
He had this on an old album.
Speaker 3 (20:05):

in Phoenix on a what a local label?
Speaker 2 (20:11):

to back, and I uh me being on a major
label like RCA. Then I covered him on both sides.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Who's playing the dough bro here?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
On four Strong Winds? That is the very first Freddy
doughbro that you'll ever hear. That's uh Jerry Reives picking
at the the doughbro people. I guess it was senate
to Chet to see what he thought of it, and
Jerry picked it on this on my recording four Strong Winds,
and then Chet sent it back and the record turned
(20:47):
out to be a big hit and it was a
fresh sound, so everybody started using it and.
