Buckaroo Holiday!

A Sport Murphy Jamboree!! Part one: the interview

This is NOT a regular Buckaroo Holiday. One of those will be along very soon. This is a special presentation in two long parts, serving as a summary of my years making music. If you are a stranger to my music, I suggest listening to part 2 first. This first part consists of a conversation Jim Allen and I had here at home, shortly before the shutdown. Interspersed are recordings spanning 30 years of work. You are forgiven if you fast forward through the chatter in order to hear the songs, and you are forgiven if you skip the whole thing. But I think some might find it all worthwhile; this is a personally necessary act of purgative therapy, but I wouldn't post it if I didn't think it held some degree of interest for others. Thank you Jim Allen for insisting I do this and making it happen. I expect an all-time low in listenership on this, but it was worth it. I dedicate these shows to the beloved memory of Joe Williams.

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO OUR LISTENERS

Your safety and well-being is our number one concern, so we've taken steps to ensure a safe experience for you when enjoying Buckaroo Holiday! But some very foolhardy, very bad people insist on listening to the show in large, densely-packed groups of unsafe, unmasked people. We continue to discourage this activity by avoiding familiar favorites and maintaining a strict no-reggaeton policy. We ask that, as you listen - safely and at a good distance from friends, family and large zoo animals - you constantly bake treats for first responders & bang metal objects in support of tireless caregivers... and always remember: the real heroes are the ones who entertain us all with safe, effective, peer-reviewed audio shenanigans. If you all behave (and inform us immediately of those who don't), we promise a really great... and safe... fireworks show in a couple of months.

Lucky Thirteen!!

Friends, Romans, Countrymen... lend me your ears. We come to bury two hours as zestfully as possible. So pour a drink, get comfy and hunker in style with this ALL NEW Buckaroo Holiday! You'll need a sponge bath after this one! Woo!!

Twelfth Night

Officially making it a baker's dozen of Buckaroo Holidays, we return with more of the sounds you never even knew you needed. A tree falling in the forest, narrowly missing a shitting bear. You know, given an infinite number of shitting bears, one will excrete the bust of Homer. Contemplate that.

Buchmanite Nackaway!

A "lagniappe" you might say... a half-assed freebie to occupy some of your time during this very weird phase of our lives. Not a "canonical" BH episode, mind you, but a gesture of love and caring from us here at the School Yard Gents. So no complaints. Sheesh... people...

E-O ELEVEN!

Went ahead with a new show despite misgivings about whether these times call for silliness like this. Hope it entertains. What else is there to say, but love to all, and all the best for your health and future. I lift my JFK glass to us all. L'Chaim!

Hang Ten!

Basil Wolverton, The Great American Dream Machine, Impractical Jokers, Roadside America, Berrie jigglers, White Castle, Port Ellen whisky, habitat dioramas, Preston Sturges, Knoebel's... and these times we share, dear listener... just a few of my favorite things!!!

Number Nine... Number Nine... Number Nine...

Howdee doo, Buckaroos!! Got another one for yez right here. Enjoy. (I know it says "the tenth episode" that's on account of the LOST episode. Sorry for the confusion)

Eight is... enough?

We'll see. The best laid plans of mice and men... you know how that goes. Change of plans on that all-Sport music show. Not this time. Sorry; hope this substitute will comfort your broken heart. Current-as-yesterday topical references and annoying woolgathering abound, and even with a shortage of "production pieces" due to time wasted preparing the Sport Special, we trust this show will be every bit as annoying as you've come to expect. NOTE: AN EARLIER UPLOAD HAD SOME SONIC ISSUES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, SO IF YOU DOWNLOADED IT, REPLACE IT WITH THIS CORRECTED VERSION.

Seventh Wonder

And we're back. Hope the holidays were good to you and hope 2020 is even better. Wish I could claim that I'm refreshed after our "Buckaroo Hiatus," but illness has its own schedule. Been kinda struggling through the recent weeks. Be that as it may, here goes this one. Enjoy.
