I tried something "different" with episode 26, an "interview" with the fictional "brother" of Chuck Redden...Red Redden. Actually, I used that "interview" segment as an excuse to produce something akin to the stuff Dickie Goodman used to put out. Earlier, I had dug through the TRSE record archives, excerpted segments from numerous songs, wrote leading up questions for each, Paul read them as the interviewer. He hadn't heard the song excerpts (the answers to the questions) prior to the actual recording, so he did actually get amused a few times during the taping. There's a slight "lag" with the "answers", but I did what I could with the equipment I had at the time. Still, it's something that would have been impossible for me to accomplish with what equipment I had back in 1979, the year I started the mess called "Tape and Record Show Enterprises"!
Several bad "impersonations" in episode 27. James did his "Jacob J. Welsh", "Curly Howard", "Dr. Tongue", and I threw in a little of Eugene Levy's "Bruno" from "SCTV". I'm guessing I checked the album with the Floyd Cramer tune out from the library. It has never actually been in the TRSE archives. There was a question as to whether or not James had co-hosted the show before, but looking back, he actually co-hosted episode 2 on March 19,1986, and made a brief appearance when Paul was officially co-hosting on September 1,1986.
Moving on to episode 28, apparently Paul Morrison was the only person in our "organization" who never watched "SCTV" when NBC aired the show, since he'd never heard of "Count Floyd". "An Evening With Paul Morrison" was mentioned, but we never recorded a second edition of that. I did a stereo/mono demo with the newer recording equipment... something else which would have been impossible when TRSE began in 1979, given the original equipment. We had "upgraded" quite a bit in the ensuing seven years.
Episode 29, during the opening, Paul commented he felt like Barbara Walters sitting next to Hugh Downs. Paul had apparently broken things off with Debbie Salsbury at the time, and had his eyes on someone named "Vicky/Vicki". This was one of the FEW episodes of "TRS Music Show" without any "novelty" tunes included. Memory from that far back is non-existent, but I'm SURE the microphone tapping/scratching sounds during the closing theme was from Paul.
Episode 30 started off with an actual later Dickie Goodman record, to go along with our "spoof" of his which opened episode 26. Jerry Sanders was co-host on this episode however instead of Paul. This was Jerry's second time as co-host on the "TRS Music Show", first time being nearly a year earlier on the June 4,1986 "broadcast". Can't remember details from the late 80's, but guessing I randomly used Cheryl Easterling's name as a "plot device" for the episode, since I can't imagine Cheryl comparing The Beatles to The Bee Gee's at the time.
Episode 31, apparently Randy had the "Columbia House" collection agency after him. We discussed bringing back his "Life of Elvis" show, but needless to say, that never materialized, although he DID sing with one Elvis song in the episode. This was Randy's second stint as "co-host" on the series, the first being June 18,1986. Also, where else would you hear Randy Haney and Benny Goodman in the same half hour EXCEPT "The TRS Music Show"? The series only ran 10 more episodes after that.
