While walking my dog recently, I thought of a great old local commercial that aired in the
Greenville, NC, area featuring a guy named Bobby in a wheelchair reducing prices in his furniture store while his wife tried to figure out where he was. "He's slashing prices," she said with a deep twang. "That's my Bobby." Seemed like a perfectly fine theme to begin the show. No You Tube footage of the commercial could be found, dang it. New music from
Outrageous Cherry,
the Candy Snatchers,
Peter Case and assorted great locals. Tune in next week for the annual all cover songs edition of Zero Hour.
