So I have the proper setting on and yet it seems to be recording my external mic. Give me a bit.

I can't figure this out so I have another plan, give me a little bit and I'll get that ready.

Hi Miss Mei & Sheena streamers.

The music sounded ok but noticeably lower than the stream was. And yes, we heard someone clear their throat, and a minute later, sing along for a phrase.

And I am so slow writing this that you will have rebooted and changed settings twice by the time you see this.

Shutting the system down all the way down and restarting often works (as you probably know)

Jimmie R. Vestal (B. 1940) is a musician from Winston-Salem, NC who first started recording music with bands in the 1960s. At some point, he relocated to Pinelas Park, Florida. In 1999, Irwin and Michelle played Jimmie's song "Fishin' Wire Eddy" on Incorrect Music (We'll get to that song soon) but the show wasn't archived so I looked him up on YouTube and found his really awesome channel.

Birth date isn't 1940, whoops! that was for a different artist that I got confused with.
Avatar 1:23pm

I E-Mailed Jimmie last night about potentially airing new recordings on the show and to ask him about his music career. fingers crossed!

I apologise to everyone for my current format by the way. I'm in the process of being diagnosed with a condition that is very physically draining so it's hard to do things

"Racing 'Round The Track" starts now! The track we just heard was "Brand New Baby."

Now we're at "How Many Times?"
Avatar 1:42pm
Mr Fab:

i take it Jimmie is a one-man band?
Avatar 1:43pm
Miss Mei:

↳ Mr Fab @1:42
Yes, usually, but he has recorded with bands before. I think one or two of his 60s recordings are on one of the albums I'm playing today.
Avatar 1:44pm
Miss Mei:

In the 60s he recorded a sequel to "Wooly Bully" entitled "Wooly Bully Again" with the band The Soul Brothers.
Avatar 1:44pm

You are now listening to "Little Cajun Baby"

This is "Steak Sauce And A Song" which ties in with a steak sauce called Bald Headed Diva, which is based on another song Jimmie did.

"Drive-Ins, Juke Boxes, and Good Times" was pretty much straight-ahead songs, if a bit eccentric and amateurish (in a good way). This album on the other hand is just off the rails.

Next one: "Goodbye, Dear, Goodbye"
Avatar 2:21pm
Mr Fab:

Don't know what happened to Jimmie in the 2 years since he released "Drive-Ins, Juke Boxes," but dementia sure set in pretty fast. What a weird album: the same songs twice in a row with only slightly different lyrics, jokes ranging from bad to nonsensical, fake ads, whacked-out songs about Bald Headed Divas, kooky sound fx...this makes The Residents sound like Pat Boone. Quite the discovery here, Miss Mei.
