Episode 387 was the last of the five episodes of "Dallas" which contained the "Who Shot J.R.?" story arc, first "aired" on "The Tape and Record Show" during its second season, split into nine parts at the time, but "aired" in its original one-hour, five part format for this season's version.
Episode 388 was first "aired" during the annual "TRS New Years Celebration" marathon a few months earlier, but since it was considered a "special" at the time, it wasn't given an episode number until this rebroadcast. The episode was definitely for "mature audiences", and contained a ton of "politically incorrect" material, so "listener discretion" is advised.
Episode 59 of "The James Stricklin Song Mirage" is a classic example of what happens when you decide to start "broadcasting" a weekly show LIVE, instead of recording the shows earlier for broadcast, and the namesake host of the show can't make it to the studio that week because he is at his mother-in-law's birthday party, and you have to "improvise" at time of airing. Jerry Sanders co-hosted by phone a bit in the episode, however, he also was late, because when the show started, he was apparently in the shower. When Jerry's phone is finally answered without a busy signal, Jerry's mom is also heard briefly. Jerry had been on the phone with "Patty" (thus the "busy" signal), and his bank account was also $50 short in accounting. Apologies in advance to Jerry, in case he didn't want these "inside football" details listed, but after all, this was 1985, and the details are in the recording, along with an "evesdropped" discussion after a song ended concerning TV's. After James was absent a second time in a later episode, we decided to go back to the "pre-recorded" format.
In episode 40 of "Paul's Country Corral", Paul Morrison and I start the show discussing the benefits of buying older music on compact disc, which was still a relatively new format at the time, even though the first half of the hour consisted of 45rpm records from Paul's personal collection. This was yet another "Country Corral" episode which strayed quite a bit from actually being "country", which later lead to the show changing name and format.
