Dug out the "broadcast" audio cassettes from the Tape and Record Show Enterprises archives this evening and digitized the first two of eight total episodes (including the "pilot") of Paul Morrison's new show for the organization after a "hiatus" while I was dating "Sandra"... "Mumbo Jumbo Gumbo: Pilot. Broadcast Wednesday, December 18, 1991 at 7:00pm central. Theme Music: Funky Mama(Danny Gatton). Paul Morrison dumps his "Country Corral" format in favor of this new show, featuring more than just country music. This one-hour special serves as both the pilot episode and a Christmas special. Songs include: Christmas In El Paso(Dash Rip Rock), White Christmas(Allen Toussaint), Christmas Once Again(Johnny Adams), Merry Christmas Baby(Dr. John), A Christmas Song(Aaron Neville), Santa's Messin' With The Kid(Eddie C. Campbell), Merry Christmas(Lightnin' Hopkins), Christmas Blues(Canned Heat), Christmas Holidays("Texas" Pete Mays and The Houserockers Blues Band), Merry Christmas Baby(Charles Brown), Jingle Bell Boogie(Jack Johnson), Santa Clause("Sonny Boy" Williamson), Blues For Christmas(John Lee Hooker), Happy New Year(Lightnin' Hopkins). Mumbo Jumbo Gumbo: Episode 1. Broadcast Wednesday, January 1, 1992 at 7:00pm central. Theme Music: Funky Mama(Danny Gatton). Songs Include: The Letter(The Box Tops), Albert's Shuffle(Al Cooper/Mike Blumfield), Johnny Ace(Dash Rip Rock), Iko Iko(Zachary Richard), Sound Of Money Talking(Gary Primich)." Paul had decided to change formats after we came back briefly from a hiatus, so he wouldn't be sandwiched into only trying to play country music. This new show was a replacement for the "Country Corral", not a companion show. The pilot episode was recorded during the holiday season in 1991, so it was an "all Christmas music" episode, but not your "typical" Christmas music. As Paul says in the episode, you won't hear any Perry Como or Bing Crosby in the episode. Paul WOULD have to use a hugely offensive, politically incorrect, derogatory word about one of the artists in the pilot, so I have to label the episode as "a product of Paul's time". Tonight was the first time in over 30 years I've listened to these recordings and haven't heard much from Paul over the past couple decades, so don't know if he still thinks that way or not. At the end of the episode. Paul wished everyone a "Happy New Year", except Jerry (Sanders). Not sure what Paul had against Jerry, but it was a recurring theme with Paul over the years.
