No Mo Mumbo
Dug out the "broadcast" audio cassettes from the Tape and Record Show Enterprises archives this evening and digitized the last three 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: Episode 5. Broadcast Wednesday, February 5, 1992 at 7:30pm central. Theme Music: Funky Mama(Danny Gatton). J.J. Cale special. Songs Include: Cocaine, Magnolia, After Midnight, They Call Me The Breeze, The Sensitive Kind, Crazy Mama.
Mumbo Jumbo Gumbo: Episode 6. Broadcast Wednesday, February 12, 1992 at 7:30pm central. Theme Music: Funky Mama(Danny Gatton). A compiled episode because host Paul Morrison is off with an illness. Songs Include: Wildwood Weed(Jim Stafford), Nadine(George Thorogood), Werewolves of London(Warren Zevon), Route 90(Johnny Winter), Bring Back The Miniskirt(Cledus Maggard), Looking Out My Back Door(Creedence Clearwater Revival).
Mumbo Jumbo Gumbo: Episode 7. Broadcast Wednesday, February 26, 1992 at 7:30pm central. Theme Music: Funky Mama(Danny Gatton). Songs Include: Out There Singing The Blues(Kinsey Report), Ice Man(Albert Collins), Mellow Yellow(Donovan), Mississippi Queen(Mountain), She's Tuff(Fabulous Thunderbirds), She's Acting Single I'm Drinking Double(Gary Stewart)."
During the opening of episode 5, Paul mentions he did "something" with a married woman, enjoyed it, but didn't say what the 'something" was, or who the woman was.
Can't remember the exact circumstances WHY Paul missed the recording of episode 6, but since the show wasn't "broadcast" live and I had enough advance notice, I was able to compile a "new" episode for the week. Re-used the opening theme/announcement from episode 4 of "Mumbo Jumbo Gumbo", found appropriate songs from past old "Country Corral" episodes, and slapped the mess together. Not the first time I'd done that however. Also compiled "new" episodes in a similar manner with "Randy Haney's Life of Elvis" and "Jerry Sanders' Hit Parade" during their runs.
Paul starts episode 7 with a terrible Katherine Hepburn impersonation. Paul also didn't seem keen on having an episode of the old BBC Radio series "The Goon Show" as his lead-in for the evening.
The three episodes digitized tonight round out the Paul Morrison produced series for Tape and Record Show Enterprises. Including the pilot and episodes 1-7, the eight total episodes were all that was recorded of Paul's second show after the "Country Corral", not because he ended it, but because TRSE faded into oblivion for a second time due to me getting involved in another "romance", and the recording organization once again took a "back burner" in my life. Looking back today, I think I would have been better off skipping the "romances" and sticking with the recording organization a while longer. All the romances ended in failure, and yet the old recordings are still providing me with a bit of entertainment 30-40 years later.
