the television series Maverick with James Garner, and I would
imagine an awful lot of people know Tom Guthrie.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
You know.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
I think between the two, it was between Ed Bruce
and Tom Gothrie. There are more people that know us
than used to know Ed Bruce. I think so that
television exposure was awesome, wasn't It doesn't hurt a thing.
You got a bet goes. We had a pretty high
ranked show and it has helped a great deal.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Well, I'll get into that a little more. I thought
we got some music into the show. I think maybe
this is the best country song in the past twelve months.
I've heard a lot of other singers sing it, not
on records, but in person.

Speaker 4 (04:29):

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Opening our show, ed Bruce with You're the best break
this Old Heart ever had a performance story from Phillips Petroleum.

Speaker 8 (04:55):
Listen, that's a wood duck. You You know they were
a threatened species a few years ago because they're natural
nesting areas. The dead hollow trees were being cut down.
My name is Tom Tubbs with the Minnesota Waterfowl Association.
We knew that if these ducks were going to be saved,
they would need artificial nesting boxes. We looked at every

(05:16):
kind of material you could make them from, and finally
settled on a special plastic that Phillips Petroleum makes. It's
so slick that raccoons can't get a claw hold onto
it to climb up and steal the eggs, and it's
still tough enough to withstand the Minnesota winters. Over the years,
we've distributed thousands of these artificial nests and it's worth
it because today the wood duck is no longer threatened. Actually,

(05:38):
it's one of the most plentiful species of waterfowl in
North America.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Caring for your car and more. That's performance from Phillips Petroleum.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Ed before we get into the Maverick business, why don't
you tell me about this new song, and then we'll
go on a song called Love's Found.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
You and Me. This is a song that Ronnie Rodgers
and I roped. I guess a year and a half ago. Ralph,
Oh gosh, it's going to be long ago than that,
because I hadn't been in the studio since October of eighty.
I guess he's a couple of years old. Ronnie is
a neighbor. Of course, I live out in the country.

(06:20):
People don't just drop in because they're in the neighborhood.
I mean, you've lived in the back country, don't Yeah, yeah,
And in fact, some people don't even drop in when
they're supposed to talk about like But anyway, Ronnie and
I get out riding around in the truck every once
in a while and get a couple of six packs
in the head of the woods and take a guitar
along with us. And that's where this song came from.
Wrote this out in the woods, out in the woods,

(06:42):

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Sound you and me, Ed Brochman. Love was around you
and me. Now, let's talk for a moment about Maverick,

(10:13):
the television series you did with James Garner. You played
the part of Tom Guthrie, the sheriff ed. Would you
like to be Tom Guthrie in real life?

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Well, no, I've had my shot at running a saloon before.
I wouldn't partectar care to be alone? I'm not sure
if you're asking me about a time era in the
during that period of time, I'm really pretty happy being

(10:52):
Ed Bruce. Now at this point in my life. What
era was that? Eighteen eighties? Uh? The period? Uh, you know,
pretty soon following the Civil War? We'd like to be
a law officer? Would I like to be? Did you

(11:12):
ever want to be a law officer? No? I don't
care anything better?

Speaker 1 (11:15):
This role really didn't play out one of your fantasies.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
No, it's it's not something that I would go after.
You know. All I ever wanted to do really around
was either playball or pick You mean acting is work,
yet it is. It's not as hard physically as picking

(11:40):
and singing. It's not as much fun either. But there
are a lot of just sitting around hours and I'm
not used to it. It is waiting waiting time that
could I could. I felt like I could better spend
doing something else, like the golf ball or something like that,

(12:01):
And there I am sitting in the dressing room waiting
for somebody to call me, and it may be hours
before they do.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Did working with James Garner initially when you first started
the series? Did that intimidate you?

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Nor? It didn't, And I should say did he intimidate you? No?
I guess it may be because I already knew Jim
and we were friends to some extent. We had become
much better and much closer friends. But Jim was very
warm and very supportive. He realized he recognized the fact

(12:38):
that I was in a new situation, and I think
he gave me a lot of support. He encouraged me
a lot. He was very positive and by the time
we actually started, even from the first morning, I was
pretty relaxed. That's an awesome task to work with James Garner.

(13:01):
Oh yeah, well, you know, gosh, he's one of them.
He is the acknowledged master at what he does. The
the the.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Guys are real prove I love his camera commercials.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Oh they're great. They're great, you know, but he is
capable of doing more serious stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I can't help but think the way he presents himself,
he's putting me on a lot.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Well, you know, he's a lot liked than in person.
He's uh, like I said, want ago, he's a warm,
supportive person, but he's he likes the kid and he
likes to be kidded. And very few people did it
now pensing that in a lot we kidding, get some
zingers in and he loves it when nobody else really

(13:55):
does it. They were intelligated. Maybe let me bring on
our record. Here's no wait and.

Speaker 10 (14:02):
Know how this is all going end with Ellen love
once we could fall again, makes no difference.
