Speaker 1 (00:07):
My guest is Bill Anderson. Bill shut this tune up
for us.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Well, let me see what could I do to set
this tune up for you. Bobby Braddock wrote this song,
and it's kind of an exciting arrangement. I think I
have a lot of fun doing this song on the stage.
We get out and bump and buggy a little bit.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
The song's called head to toe.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
Your hair soaled, your eyes are bright, your nose is smoke,
your mouth is right.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
Your skin smooth, your waist is smoke.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Your legs occured, you got day feet.

Speaker 3 (00:44):

Speaker 4 (00:50):
A love you can't get enough.

Speaker 6 (00:57):

Speaker 7 (01:00):
Now, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:03):
I love you.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
They're sparkling eyes, they shine with love.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
You're hungry lips jad get enough.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Your loving arms they're clinging vines. Your body's warm, and
when we're close, I know it's mine.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
You can't you? I told you, well, you know I
love you.

Speaker 8 (02:18):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Where Bobby you got the idea for that the ankle boom.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
You really want to know.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I think he got the idea from a very lovely
lady that he keeps company with, named Sparky. I told
Sparky one day, said, you realize if you were married
to me. Your name would be Sparky Anderson.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
And you can you'd have a great future in baseball.
She'd be in Detroit. By now you've heard Bill Anderson
on our show with Head to Toe BLL. I want
to go back to something we were talking about a
few minutes ago. I told you that I thought I

(03:09):
didn't realize. I didn't realize that when you were a
disc jockey that you would plan to do that for
a lifetime, because I thought you were at the University
of George at that time, and I thought you were
just marking time until you could become a journalist, because
you were majoring in journalists.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah, but I was majoring in the radio television sequence
of journalism. I had done some work on a newspaper
and at one time thought maybe I might like to be.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
A sports writer.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
But the radio, the television, the mass communications really kind
of got into my blood. And yeah, I really seriously considered,
you know, uh, a career in radio or television. That's
you know, and that's really kind of what I've done.
I've just kind of done it with music, that's all.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Bell. Can you think of a colossal goof that happened
to you? When you were in broadcasting on the radio.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, oh, I can think of a bunch of them. Uh,
a lot of them. We can't tell here on the air.
They were so colossal.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well, what I'm doing here, I'm fishing for one build.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh well, I can pull two or three of them
right out of a hat.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
One thing comes to mind was a very dear lady
that worked at our little radio station in Commerce. She
was retired from the University of Georgia. She had been
in the Agricultural Extension Service or the Home Economics I
think it was extension service or something. And she didn't
have a background in radio at all. She'd never been
around a radio station, but she came back to Commerce
to retire. It was her home, and the people who

(04:28):
owned the station thought it would be a good idea
if they made her the women's director of the radio station.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
So she'd come in the mornings and she'd do a
women's show.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
And she was a kind of lady that, as they
do in many small towns in the South, they have breakfast, dinner,
and supper, you know, not breakfast, lunch and dinner and
neat a big meal in the middle of the day.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
This lady's name was Miss Willy V.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Dowdy, and Miss WILLYVI used to go home every day
about eleven thirty and cook up a big old pot
full of vegetables and the whole bit. And a lot
of times when she came back around one o'clock, she
would bring food for the rest of us at the station.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
She was just kind of like a mother to all
of us.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
But a lot of times when she would go home
and eat this big meal, she'd be very sleepy when
she came back to the radio station. Now, she also
did a show about one o'clock, one of these swap
shop things, you know, where people advertise they have a
piano for sale, or a lost dog and all these
kinds of things. And I used to come on the
board about this time, and I would introduce Miss Willy
VI to do the bulletin board show, you know, and

(05:23):
she would she would would come in after having her
lunch and so forth, and quite often she would you
could tell what she had for lunch by the way
she belched when.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
I introduced her on the air.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
But my favorite was the time that that I introduced
her and she did the first couple of items and said, now,
here's a message from our sponsor. And I read the
commercial and when I got through and I said, now
back to miss Willie VI Dowdy, And I opened her
microphone and I heard she had gone to sleep sitting
up in there at the table, just so relaxed. That's funny,

(05:58):
It was very fun. I had a lot of fun,
Miss Willy VI. She she pulled a couple other things
that were pretty funny too.

Speaker 9 (06:09):
Woman, when you get rid of me, who will the
next food be? I knew, I knew, I knew. I
knew there's things I gotta know about the woman I

(06:33):
lost for.

Speaker 10 (06:40):
And after all said, girl, you wouldn't be satisfied with anyone.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Showing you get rid of me?

Speaker 9 (06:59):
Who the next who'll be? Will he believe.

Speaker 11 (07:14):
O love flash?

Speaker 9 (07:18):
End up black me with tears?

Speaker 6 (07:26):
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know.

Speaker 9 (07:33):
There's things gotta know about the woman I love.

Speaker 10 (07:36):
Fool you know I do all the sudding down.

Speaker 9 (07:49):
Gird. You wouldn't be satisfied with anyone when you get
rid of me? Who are the next bob?

Speaker 6 (08:06):

Speaker 1 (08:09):

Speaker 9 (08:09):
You're licking at gentlemen.

Speaker 11 (08:16):
Your jack Day's hands.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
To me, that's old killer Jerry Lee Lewis, And who
will the next fool be? Elvis Presley thought of as

(09:10):
a friend by millions throughout the world, And yet how
much do you really know about Elvis? If you would
like to know all the important things about Elvis, you'll
be interested in the wonderful new book, The Elvis FactFinder.

disc on the cover that puts important facts at your fingertips.

(09:33):
including an eight x ten of the very last historical
photo ever taken of Elvis on the concert stage. Also

(09:55):
money order for four ninety nine to Elvis Post Office,

That's four ninety nine to Elvis Box eight, Nashville, Tennessee.
Can I tell one, then you tell one? I was
a disc jockey one time in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for
a brief time, and disc jockeys have to do what

(10:17):
we call run the board, which is an awesome piece
of machinery with buttons and switches and knobs and all
sorts of things that enables us to turn the mics
on and play tapes and run the records and that
sort of thing and put them on the air. And
I was working a very difficult board, in a very
strange new board, and they decided since I was the
new man, that I could run the actuality tapes for

(10:40):
the news. That's when the newsman says and now the
President had this to say today, and you roll the
tape and you get what the President had to say today. Now,
following this news program was a sports show and it
was pre recorded by an old ex Major League ballplayer
in Baton Rouge who came in every day and taped

(11:02):
the scores of the day. So if you've got the
picture there, I'm going to be doing the sort of
an engineer's job for the news and the sports to follow.
And I've got to upon the proper queue, punch the
proper button, and put these actualities, these voices on the air. Okay,

(11:23):
And I'm following the newsman's cue. So in that day
they had to feature a news story from New Orleans
about the mayor of New Orleans. And it went this way.
As I pressed the wrong button, he said. And now
this report from New Orleans mayor dealer SEPs Morrison had
this to say today, I punched the wrong button way,
he went. Hi, there are sports fans. We got time

(11:50):
for me to tell one. We'll get back to you, Okay. Meantime,
here's Mo Bandy and Joe Stampley.

Speaker 8 (12:07):
Well, I've been kicked out of my ear every bar around.

Speaker 12 (12:13):
I've been locked up for driving one hundred and twenty
through time.

Speaker 7 (12:20):
Well, I've been shot at and cut with a knife
from messing around with another man's wife. But other than that,
we ain't nothing, just good old base. I threw my
fall side a window and got fired from.

Speaker 11 (12:35):
My last job.

Speaker 7 (12:39):
At wired a city truck and turned it over in
the Mayor's yard.

Speaker 9 (12:44):
Where I meet my brother in law half to death.

Speaker 8 (12:48):
I lost twenty bucks on his football bet.

Speaker 6 (12:51):
But other than that, we ain't nothing, just good old hoose.

Speaker 11 (12:57):
Good old boys were all the same.

Speaker 7 (13:00):
Ain't no way we will ever change me, no harm
by the things we do for all the trouble that
we get into, other than a wild hair once in
a while, we can't help it.

Speaker 11 (13:14):
It's just our style and good old boys is all
we will ever be.

Speaker 7 (13:26):

Speaker 9 (13:42):

Speaker 6 (13:45):
But other than that, we ain't nothing. Just good old boots,

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Couple of good old boys, Moe and Joe, Moe Bandy
and Joe Stapley. And that's the name of the song,
just good old boys. Bill Anderson and I are trading
radio stories. Bill, it's your turn.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Well this isn't gonna be a radio story, but it's
going to be oppressed. The wrong button story that happened
on my stage show the other day. You know, I
carry a multimedia show with me. I do with an
eight foot by ten foot screen at the rear of
the stage some some visual illustrations to some of the
music that we're singing. And there are actually two different
segments in the show. One I do a medley of

(15:08):
songs from the sixties, and I show pictures of people
from the nineteen sixties who were in the news and
the different things that were happening at that time.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
The other part of the show we do.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Roots of Country Music presentation, where we go all the
way back and trace the roots of country music with
story and the pictures and song and so forth, and
the Country music Medley. The Roots Medley starts out with
a picture of an old farmer many many years ago,
sitting crusty old man playing a guitar. And the line

(15:40):
that I say on the beginning of that is, in
the beginning, there was just a man and a guitar,
and this picture this old man comes up all except
the other night, I said, and it all began with
just a man and a guitar, and Spiro Agnew's picture
came up.

Speaker 9 (15:56):
On the screen.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
And it was really rough.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
From that point, Oh, the crowd get a kick. Oh,
they nearly they didn't know what I was doing. You know,
it was just totally shocked to them. But the band
and I fell out.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
The crowd thought I never saw a spirul play to
get there, y'all rushing me onwards. All right, here's Conway Twitty.

Speaker 6 (16:15):

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Made tough for the pickup drove in.

Speaker 13 (19:12):
And Ford toughness temmy is one big reason why Ford
pickups are the best selling pickups in America. According to
RL Polk Registrations, that tough twin I beam front suspension
is standard on all two wheel drive Ford pickups. There's
a tough ball welded double wall box on Ford style sides,
and all Ford pickups have tough rust fighters like galvanizing

(19:33):
and front fender liners. Tough Ford pickups America's best sellers.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
See why today is tough. Fords are the best selling
trucks in history. See your Ford dealer now and pick
up best seller for yourself. Before your next backyard barbecue
turns into a battle with mosquitoes and other flying insects,
remember to get raid yard guard. It's the outdoor insect
fogger that kills bugs up to twenty feet away. Spray

(20:00):
yard guard before your guest arrive. It's powerful bug killing
fog penetrates the foliage for a circle of protection that

takes care of the bugs so you can take care
of the party. Raid yard guard kills bugs now keeps
