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 yard guard before your guest arrive.
It's powerful bug killing fog penetrates the foliage for a

(03:15):
circle of protection that kills bugs now keeps them away
for hours. Yard guard takes care of the bugs so
you can take care of the party raid. Yard guard
kills bugs, now keeps them away for hours. Ow Bill,
I want to go to the music, and then we'll
go to the stories. This is a song I believe
you've picked out for us from your album.

Speaker 8 (03:36):
Jim Weatherley wrote this song, and this song, to me
is one of the prettiest songs that I've ever had
the opportunity to record.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
It's called this is a love song.

Speaker 9 (03:45):
Sometimes I catch myself staring at you while you're lying
fast asleep. I memorized the moment, lock it away in
my heart, somewhere.

Speaker 7 (04:03):
Where it'll keep.

Speaker 10 (04:09):
Sometimes I still tremble when you brush against my skin
or your hambhaches out to touch my face. I've never
known anyone like you before, and I know I'll never
see the likes of you again.

Speaker 9 (04:29):
No one in this world could ever take your place.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
And in case you don't know this. It's a love
song and it comes from the heart.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Had someone.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
Who loves you. So I don't always SHU.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
So this sure loved.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
So you are loved. I just wanted you to know.

Speaker 10 (05:37):
And in the quiet times when you talk to me,
I hang on every word that you say. You might
not always see my love, but it's always there. You
still take my breath away.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
And in case you don't, this seed some love song
and it comes from the heart of someone who loves you.

(06:24):
So I don't always sure.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
So this is your love song.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
You are loved.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I just wanted.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
You to know.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Jim Weatherley, who wrote that it used to be a
quarterback for Ole Messrs Football team.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Right.

Speaker 8 (07:10):
You wouldn't think somebody that was rough and tumble and
played college football could write something that tender, would.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
You, Well, you wouldn't on the surface, But I guess
he's got a heart down there out of those shoulder pads.
Bill Anderson singing, this is a love song. Bill, are
we going to pursue radio stories on this show?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well, I don't know. I'll have to stop and see
if I can thank of some more. You probably know me.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Ask you this, Bill, you've been being interviewed is not
new to you, and I'm sure you've been interviewed by
disc junkey's all across America, probably in other parts of
the world when you've toured overseas. I'm just fishing again,
but I'm wondering if you've had any funny things to
occur while you were on the other end of the interview.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yes, several things comes to mind.

Speaker 8 (08:00):
One of the very first times I was ever interviewed
at all was in Burlington, North Carolina, and I had
just started recording, and in fact, I had my first
record out call That's what It's Like to Be Lonesome
on Deck of records. About the same time, a fellow
named Bill Phillips had started recording for Columbia and he
had a record out called Lion Lips. And I was

(08:22):
in Burlington, North Carolina to do a show, and the
disc jockey call and invited me to come up to
the radio station. And I went up there and he
does this whole big, long introduction about we got a
bright new star here today who's in town. We've been
playing his record and I can't wait to talk to him,
and said, ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Phillips and I said,
I hate to tell you, but I'm Bill Anderson.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
He said, who. I didn't even know who I was.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
That's awful. I guess if you are the person being interviewed,
you hate to correct the disc jockey if he is wrong.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Is that the attitude would do well, Yeah, it's better
not to well, I.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Guess you from you figure correct and you won't play
your record. However, being on this side of the microphone,
we make some colossal goops. Sometimes. The worst thing I
suppose is drawing a blank. And particularly if I'm interviewing
somebody I've just met or have known for a short time,

(09:22):
and you start out with all the old cliches. It's
pleasure to welcome the spine, young singer, and you might
name the tunes he's done. And now you're in trouble,
and he may be aware of it that you go
on and the records for so and so and well
I know his producer. Well, just on the phone with
him the other day, and you can't think of this
guy that has that's happened to be and you try

(09:48):
to be nice. You don't hurt his feelings, See like
you got your feelings hurt right, because.

Speaker 8 (09:53):
Well, yeah I was, I was new and I wasn't
really all that sensitive, but it was.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
It was quite an experience, I said.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
So show business, finally you have to say, well, I've
just met this fellow. What was your name again? Yeah,
you know you're trapped into that situation. Well, here's a
guy who's here's a guy who does funny dis jockey impressions. Bill,
I know you like this sort of story. If you
ever are around Kenny Dale. I don't know whether you

(10:21):
know Kenny or not, but he does him in his
road show. I don't know whether Kenny was ever a
disc jockey, but he does some of the funniest dis
jocky impressions I've ever heard.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
You've been impersonating certain dis jockeys.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Types of dis jockeys. If you ever run into him,
ask him to him for you. He did him on
the show one time. Kenny's going to sing only love
can break a heart.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
I heard you, But Darling, we made.

Speaker 3 (11:13):

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Kenny Dale on our show, who was used to say
that on our show hid some of it? Sullivan, Kenny
Dale's singing only love can break a heart. Elvis Presley
thought of as 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,

(13:35):
The Elvis FactFinder. This book is beautifully printed with a
full color revolving disc on the cover that puts important
facts at your fingertips. The Elvis FactFinder features nine never
before published photographs of Elvis, including an eight by ten
of the very last historical photo ever taken of Elvis
on the concert stage. Also included in the book is

(13:55):
a fantastic full color ten x twenty poster of Elvis.
All this a ten dollars value, But you can get
the Elvis package for just four ninety nine, Yes, just
four ninety nine. Send your checker money order for four
ninety nine to Elvis Post Office, Box eight, Nashville, Tennessee,
thirty seven two oh two. That's four ninety nine to

(14:17):
Elvis Box eight, Nashville, Tennessee. Bill, how about telling us
about Mary Low You mentioned something that in our last
visit with you, our last hour, that she was going
to leave your organization after I don't know how many.

Speaker 8 (14:34):
Years she came with me, the first part of seventy three,
so she would have been with me four what seventy three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
seven years? Gosh, it doesn't seem that long. It seems
like it was about a year ago that we came
down to your television show and I introduced you to
her early one morning.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
You remember that, Yeah, I remember. I remember the search
you had when you when Jane Howard left your show
to find a replacement for jan Howard. And you told
me at that time you'd had so many many apply for.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
The job, Oh, at least a couple of hundred.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
And I know formerly you made records with Jan Howard,
You've been making records with Mary Lou Turner. The question
that naturally follows is who will be your new duet partner.

Speaker 8 (15:14):
Well, I'm not going to have her, not as such,
I don't think unless you know something comes along that
I'm not looking for right now. As far as our
road shows and all, of course, I've got two girls
in the post folks, and it just so happens that
one of the girls is a redhead the other one
is a brunette, and we've worked up a little bit
where one of them becomes redheaded Jan Howard and the

(15:35):
other one becomes brunette Mary Lou Turner, and we do
a little medley of some of the different types of
songs that I did with.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
The girls down through there, and they sing their part. Yeah,
and it works out real nice.

Speaker 8 (15:44):
But as far as you know, another featured girl singer
or anything after Mary Lou leaves, I really don't have
any plans for that.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
So you're not accepting applications, then, are you applying?

Speaker 5 (15:53):
No?

Speaker 1 (15:53):
But I figured that people will hear this and when
the word gets out, you'll get application.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
No, I'm really not.

Speaker 8 (15:59):
I think that's what I'll do is Mary Lou will
probably work a few dates with us next year, and
then in the places where we need to take an
extra performer, I thought maybe I would get three or
four different girl singers and maybe work up, you know,
fifteen or twenty minutes worth of.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Material with each one of them and use different people.

Speaker 8 (16:15):
We go back to a lot of the same areas,
maybe take one girl one time and another the next.
There are so many shows today, Ralph where we really
don't have time, you know. We work a lot of
shows with other people, and a lot of shows with
the local entertainers in all and they only want the
Bill Anderson show to last an hour. And it's not
really fair to Mary Lou to say, go out there
and sing two songs.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
And it's not fair to me.

Speaker 8 (16:36):
I've been in the business for twenty years and I
can only go out and sing five or six songs
or seven songs, you know.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
So it really is not like it used to be.
The concept of the.

Speaker 8 (16:46):
Front man and the girl singer and then the featured
artist comes on and all and we approach it differently now,
and it's just another thing that's changed with the times.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
I guess, well, let's play Mary Lou's latest record for
all these babies.

Speaker 8 (16:56):
She just signed a record for church Hill Records, and
I think this is the best record she's ever made.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
It's called Yours min.

Speaker 12 (17:02):
Love's got to hell a strong found Eddy shut. It
can't start off on shaking ground it's got too hell
the strength to hold it, or the first tiny storm
will tear it down, but yours.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
And mine will last forever. It's but together with care
in time. Those who fake it there you don't marry it.
Love has to be like yours and mine. Loves like rage.

Speaker 12 (17:46):
We all start even, but so few cross the Finnish line.
Along the way they stipends, stumble, and they have to
stop again time after time.

Speaker 11 (18:03):
But yours and mine will last far elver.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
It's put together.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
Karent time.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Those who freak then you don't make it.

Speaker 12 (18:17):
Love has to be real like yours and mine, cause
yours in mind we'll last for ever.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
It's put together.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
Guaran time.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Those who fake it, they don't make it. Love has
to be real like yours and mine.

Speaker 11 (18:41):
Cause yours and mine will last felb.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
It's put together with kring time. Those who fake in
they don't make it.

Speaker 11 (18:56):
Love has to be real like yours and mine. Thou
will last fall. It's put together with kens. Time has
to be.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
Like yours and those yours is well last fall. It's
puffed together with chens.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
You know, Bill, As I listened to that, I couldn't
help but feel like that would have made an ideal
record for the two of you.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
I do it would have been a very good do.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
It, Mary Lou Turner singing yours and myn Even if
you're not a Ford owner yet, I'm sure you've noticed
that more and more people are driving Ford Pickups, so
you won't be surprised to hear that Ford pickups are
the best selling trucks in history, according to ril Polk registrations.
And one good reason is that Ford pickups are built tough,
like that tough twin I beam front suspension on two

(19:57):
wheel drive models, a double wall style outside bucks, tough
rust fighters like galvanizing and inner front fender liners, and
Ford pickups come on strong under the hood too, with
a standard four point nine liter three hundred and six
or optional V eights and talk about choice. Ford pickups
range from half tonners to husky f three point fifties
for two and a half ton loads. There's a full

(20:19):
line of tough four wheel drive pickups, two plus roomy
super cabs, the handsome Ranger Lariot and more. So go
see your Ford dealer and make your choice from his
tough Ford pickups, the most popular trucks ever built.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Take it Bill. All right, here's the pride of Sledge, Mississippi, Charlie.

Speaker 7 (20:38):
Pride every day are adds in the pain.

Speaker 11 (20:59):
Per se and to the island hunting.

Speaker 7 (21:03):
Beginning ladies, seet rom drinks they'll keep you smiling.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
Turn me.

Speaker 7 (21:12):
I've got to lips of music on the record at home.

Speaker 9 (21:19):
When it comes to the warp and the sunshine, I
got my arm.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
You're might. You made.

Speaker 7 (21:31):
You were a word to be.

Speaker 12 (21:36):
You're my island man of being tall stone and storm.

Speaker 7 (21:40):
Mercy, my heavenly, even where rocks many turned tea.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
You're not.

Speaker 7 (21:53):
You made your paradized to me like Sonny sense, palm
trees and tans. That sounds so inviting, limbo dancing, starlight romance,

(22:21):
and it's also exciting. I've got my flover restrict and
rub punching my hand, and my own exotic clover and
my needy bland.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
You're might. You made.

Speaker 7 (22:45):
You well alone to be. You're my island man of
being tossed on the Stormcie, my heavenly where rocks many turned.
