In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with legendary session drummer Paul Leim, whose six-decade career quietly powers a staggering piece of the soundtrack to our lives. Paul has played on more than 12,000 songs across over 2,000 releases, with 1,400+ silver/gold/platinum certifications, and global sales topping 540 million units. His discography encompasses over 150 combined GRAMMY nominations and wins, as well as 40+ major film/TV awards, and credits on more than 150 films and 100 television specials and series. If you've heard Lionel Richie, Shania Twain, Lyle Lovett, Kenny Chesney, Whitney Houston—or cues from Dirty Dancing, Smokey and the Bandit II, The River, or even Return of the Jedi, you've likely heard Paul.We trace the arc from East Texas clubs and Dallas jingle mills to late-'70s Los Angeles, where a “typical” week meant two complete drum rigs leapfrogging between Lionel Richie sessions, network TV soundstages, film dates, and award shows. Paul talks mentors and “angels” (band director Neil Grant, Robin Hood Brians, Doc Severinsen), lifelong friendships with the TCB family (Ron Tutt, Jerry Scheff), and lessons that still anchor his playing—especially dynamic control and “letting the mics work.” We get inside the high-wire reality of studio life. Paul calls it “95% boredom and 5% sheer terror”, including how to read conductors, when to lead the time, and when to ride it, and what it's like to move from live kit to orchestral percussion with John Williams.There are great shop-floor stories: cutting Lionel's “Truly” and counseling Lionel at the fork-in-the-road moment of leaving the Commodores; discovering that Lyle Lovett's “The Blues Walk” was gloriously vocal-free; and a deep dive into the precision world of Mutt Lange and Shania, ending bass notes just before the snare for mix “air,” the chrome-over-brass “important” snare, and the on-the-fly invention of tom “Mutt flaps” for short, open fills. Paul also shares a personal fork he chose differently: turning down a James Taylor tour to be home with his young family, only to hand JT the final serial-numbered Leim signature snare decades later at the White House.Today, Paul is still very much in motion: bandleading the TCB Band in Europe, steering The Tennessee Four with Thomas Gabriel to carry the Cash legacy, and jumping into Million Dollar Quartet shows—proof that the hang, the humility, and the groove endure. It's a conversation about craft, friendship, stewardship of a gift, and the choices that shape both a career and a life.Music from the Episode:Pick it Apart (Mark O'Connor)Truly (Lionel Richie)The Blues Walk (Lyle Lovett)Thank you for listening.

At the table: Dagne Forrest, Samantha Neugebauer, Jason Schneiderman, Kathleen Volk Miller, Lisa Zerkle This recording had a rough start, Slushies. We're talking technical difficulties, disappearing dogs, and tomato-eating cats. But we rallied in time to discuss two poems from Eli Karren. Jason hails the Whitmanian, associative line found in these poems. We're taken with the specificity of detail, right down to botanical names and brands of beer. And speaking of Whitman, Kathy shares this scathing review of his then newly published Leaves of Grass. Lisa gives a shout out to Asheville as they welcome visitors one year after Hurricane Helene. Sam remembers that nearby North Carolina mountain towns stood in for the Catskills in the movie “Dirty Dancing.” And we close with a poetry book recommendation, Gabrielle Calvocoressi's The New Economy, just named to the National Book Award's Short List. Stay tuned for our next episode, also featuring a poem from Eli Karren. As always, thanks for listening! Eli Karren is a poet and educator based in Austin, TX. His work can be found in the swamp pink, At Length, Palette Poetry, and the Harvard Review. Mountain Laurel Last summer I drank until blackout, then chatted about Cronenberg with my neighbor. My head lolled over the fenceline. Even the ivy judged me. In the morning, I woke early to go to the pool, imagining a polar plunge as the ideal hangover cure. Really, it was a baptism. The purple light erupting first, over the city, mirrored back across the water, like a shattered jar of preserves, before the orange took hold, a tiny flame cupped between hands, being blown full to life. How Old Testament of me! To dip my head beneath the current, still in the blackness, and rise to the light. To watch the old men, naked and shriveled, towel off in the cold air, speaking of a tree that was to be sheared, their bodies backlit by roosting bats and mountain laurel. I don't remember the last night I didn't drink. For the longest time I said it was a response to the boredom. To the loneliness. I had kept myself distracted with NBA highlights and foreign films. With amateur pornography and snapchat filters. In a way, I felt as though I was already dead. A ghost wearing a human suit. That at any moment I could be cracked open. That inside, was the rising tide of a summer storm, turning the sky ominous and teenage. Maybe, feathers. Stuffing. Packing peanuts. Elegy for the East Side Just tonight, walked from one end to the other, sequestered to the sidestreets, skipping over puddles and burned books Everything clumsy and beautiful and new Popped in for a drink at the garden supply store Noticed all the young couples sipping cocktails from flowerpots, kissing over pinwheels & lawn gnomes Could make out over the sound of small talk, the DJ spinning Plantasia The wisteria and wilted chard seeming nonplussed noncommittal This place isn't the same since you left it Outside Mama Dearest the Cryptobros try to film themselves jumping a Cybertruck on a Lime Scooter Their wives hold Hamms in a semi-circle and look slightly like a Midwestern coven So elegant in their clear disdain Inside the parlor, the shrill recreation of a hunting cabin Taxidermied deer heads pepper the space between pin up girls, creating a dichotomy of destructive desire Nothing a shot of Malort and some curly fries couldn't handle On the corner, telephone pole advertisements proffer mass ascension and a wet T-shirt contest A candlelit vigil at the American Sniper's grave A shotgun of Lonestars chased down with a shotgun of Modelo The Texas sky somehow wider than ever The frequencies of bluebonnet giving way to indigo and periwinkle The quiet streets to house shows and seances This, so unlike the night we met No stars No fireworks No strangers in the street holding sparklers as we find each other in the handsy cocoon of porchlight No, only the moon sitting on the treeline like the egg sac of a wolf spider But on the water a cross between a duck boat and a pedal pub tied together with purple fairy lights Someone new, pumping her legs beside me The first to stir more than leaf litter and carcinogenic pollen Licking the salt from the rim of my margarita and shrugging A shorthand to say she is taking me home
Turns out that HOA's aren't as powerful as we thought they were, as one Alaska resident is finding out with a neighbor and their suggestive Halloween display. Nobody was hurt in the display and all we beg is patience and an open mind. And if you spot a thing that shouldn't be, send it in to janesays@civicmedia.us and we might use it on the show!

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: October 18, 2025Name of podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS9: E8: Jim Odom (LeRoux) - The Presonus MatermindSHOW SUMMARY:Ever wonder how a touring guitarist becomes a tech founder, sells to Fender, then jumps right back into producing records? That's the arc we trace with Jim Odom—guitarist for Louisiana's LeRoux and co‑founder of Presonus—who opens up about the craft of recording, the grit of the Gulf Coast scene, and the magic that only happens when players share a room and a downbeat. We dig into the making of a new album with blues powerhouse Jonathan “Boogie” Long, why Jim still chases the sound of a real console, and how a smart session band can lift a song in a single take. Jim pulls back the curtain on Studio One's origins, the rocket ride of a NAMM breakthrough, and the decision to sell Presonus to Fender after years of global growth. The stories stretch from pine‑lined Studio in the Country, where Kansas and Dirty Dancing cuts took shape, to present‑day plans with Miracle Media, his label focused on honest performances and songs built to last. LeRoux fans get a feast: memories of Jeff Pollard's soaring voice, Fergie Frederiksen's effortless high notes, and the late Tony Haselden's razor-sharp lyrics. Jim teases a vintage live release from the late 70s, and shares why the band is refreshing its show toward the rock energy of Up and So Fired Up with current singer Jeff McCarty. We also wade into AI's impact on music—training on copyrighted catalogs, the uncanny feel of generated tracks, and why listeners will keep seeking the human touch in phrasing, tone, and time. If you love the crossroads where songwriting, recording, and innovation meet, you'll feel right at home. Tap play, follow LeRoux on Facebook and www.leroux.band, and if the conversation hits a chord, share it with a friend and leave a quick review—what LeRoux era do you want to hear live next?Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMWWW.SIGNAD.COMWWW.RUNWAYAUDIO.COMBackstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - backstagepassradio.com and randyhulsey.comArtist(s) Web Pagewww.leroux.bandCall to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.

Get More LVWITHLOVE Content at LVwithLOVE.com Become a partner! Families and young people are the future of the arts, and no one knows that better than Mark Fitzgerald Wilson, Executive Director of the Zoellner Arts Center at Lehigh University. Mark joined Zoellner in 2020, bringing an eclectic background as an educator, business professional, and opera singer. Originally from Iowa, he discovered the Lehigh Valley through his son's lacrosse tournaments and fell in love with the area's energy, trails, and sense of community. When he arrived at Zoellner, he noticed a missing piece in local arts programming: family experiences that were fun, welcoming, and accessible. The result was Family FUN-A-PALOOZA, an annual event that brings families together for live theater, interactive arts activities, and partnerships with local organizations. This year's Family FUN-A-PALOOZA takes place Saturday, November 1 from 10 AM to 1:30 PM, featuring Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical, based on the beloved children's book by Mo Willems. Developed by the Kennedy Center, the show promises laughter, energy, and plenty of opportunities for kids to move and make noise. “This is a non-shushing show,” Wilson says. “Kids, have fun. Parents tell us that when they hear that, the weight just lifts off their shoulders. This is for everyone. We have families with neurodivergent children, sensory-friendly audiences, and people who just want to enjoy being here together.” The event features more than 20 community and campus partners, including PBS, Lehigh University Art Galleries, and local dance groups. Visitors can take part in crafts, art projects, and pre-show performances throughout Zoellner's lobby and open spaces. Costumes are encouraged, even for parents. “It's the day after Halloween, so bring your costumes,” Wilson laughs. “Dress up, have fun, and parents, wear a costume too.” Beyond Family FUN-A-PALOOZA, Zoellner's fall and spring lineup is packed with major performances and new experiences. Wilson highlights Postmodern Jukebox, Dirty Dancing in Concert, and the Morgan Freeman Symphonic Blues Experience, along with orchestral performances from the New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestra. “We want to bring world-class artists to our stage while also connecting students to the professional world,” Wilson says. “There are so many great arts organizations in the Lehigh Valley, and each of us brings something different. For Zoellner, it's about giving people cultural experiences they might not get anywhere else.” He also points to Zoellner's new well-being concert series, which lets audiences lie onstage among musicians for a meditative, health-focused experience. “The arts are part of the ecosystem that keeps our community healthy,” Wilson explains. “Music and movement make people feel better. Across the country, doctors are prescribing the arts as part of someone's physical or mental health. That's where we're headed too.” Wilson says innovation will define the next phase of Zoellner's growth. Expect site-specific performances, partnerships with local nonprofits for community ticket programs, and more creative collaborations that bring people together in unexpected spaces. “People want experiences, not just events,” Wilson says. “Some want to sit in Baker Hall, some want to see a show outside, and some might even want to see something in a parking garage. The arts can meet people wherever they are.” Family FUN-A-PALOOZA 2025 takes place Saturday, November 1 from 10 AM to 1:30 PM at the Zoellner Arts Center on the campus of Lehigh University.

We invited Reena from the “Better Call Daddy” podcast to rewatch Dirty Dancing and dig into why this 1987 classic still hits today. We talk about Baby's coming of age from a woman's point of view, Johnny's arc from hired talent to self-worth, the film's frank treatment of abortion, and that complicated father-daughter dynamic. Along the way, Reena shares personal stories that mirror Baby's bravery, and we unpack the movie's layered look at class, privilege, and nostalgia. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 - Welcome + Guest intro 00:00:32 - What is Better Call Daddy 00:02:17 - Why Dirty Dancing still resonates 00:03:55 - Two-minute plot rundown 00:06:48 - Baby's POV on sexuality 00:08:44 - Class, privilege, and stepping up 00:10:26 - Getting Dad involved for Penny 00:13:05 - Lakeside talk with Dad and accountability 00:16:18 - Johnny's growth and the age-gap lens 00:19:24 - Do not pedestal people 00:22:05 - Kellerman's old guard and changing times 00:23:43 - Why the resort hires grad-student waiters 00:27:10 - “I carried a watermelon” and belonging 00:28:15 - Dance as storytelling 00:30:59 - Behind the scenes of the practice-lift Key Takeaways The story centers Baby's perspective, which was rare for the era. Class is the engine of the plot, from entertainment staff to waiters and guests. Baby's bravery shows up as practical action to help Penny. The father-daughter thread is about holding each other to shared values. Johnny moves from being used to asserting his worth. The nostalgia lands because the movie pairs romance with clear commentary on labor and belonging. Quotes “We challenge you to a new movie or TV show every week.” “I have a podcast with my dad, then he weighs in with his intergenerational take.” “She's in pain. I need to fix her pain.” “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” “I carried a watermelon.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this conversation, follow and subscribe on your favorite app, leave a quick review, and share the episode with a friend using #GeekFreaksPod.

Dirty Dancing dʹEmile Ardolino sort en 1987. Cʹest un film culte qui va vous faire chavirer le cœur sur un air de Mambo, qui va vous glisser des fourmis dans les jambes, battre la mesure, bouger en rythme, un film qui donne envie de fondre des guimauves et dʹembrasser le premier Bad boy venu. Une histoire très eighties qui nous transporte dans les sixties, sur la piste de danse et les émois rythmiques de Baby et de Johnny. Patrick Swayze est Johnny. En trois pas chaloupés, le geste leste, le torse musclé, le cheveu gominé, il réussit à envahir lʹimaginaire adolescent, et fait fondre toutes les filles, jeunes et moins jeunes. Entre ses bras, Jennifer Grey, Baby, sʹémancipe. Le film raconte une initiation. Le passage à lʹâge adulte dans une Amérique en pleine révolution des mœurs, où les corps deviennent langage. Mais personne, à la base, ne parie sur Dirty Dancing. Un petit budget, un petit réalisateur de télé, des petits acteurs, une petite histoire de lutte des classes. Le film ressemble tellement à une bluette pour ados que les studios qui le produisent proposent à la scénariste de brûler les copies pour toucher lʹargent de lʹassurance. Mais la scénariste, Eleanor Bergstein, tout comme toute une partie de lʹéquipe du film tiennent bon. Le film sort et connaît un succès retentissant jamais démenti.

What does it take to go from a small Louisiana town to writing chart-topping hits for country music's biggest stars in just a few years? Beau Bailey's songwriting journey is as unexpected as it is inspiring.In this captivating conversation, Beau reveals how a dislocated shoulder from an impromptu boxing match at age 15 led him to pick up guitar and accidentally discover his songwriting gift. His path to Nashville began with a pop-rock band and a Universal Records deal that launched right before COVID hit—talk about timing! When health issues caused the band to dissolve, Beau found himself at a crossroads that ultimately led him to country songwriting, where his authentic voice and storytelling talents have flourished.Beau takes us behind the curtain of writing sessions that produced hits like "Dirty Dancing" for Cole Swindell, "Broken Branches" for Dierks Bentley, "Favorite Country Song" for Hardy, and "Stay Country or Die Trying" for Blake Shelton. The viral success of "Oil Money" (25+ million streams) showcases his ability to blend rock sensibilities with country storytelling, creating songs that resonate deeply with listeners. You'll hear the surreal moment of writing alongside his songwriting heroes Ashley Gorley and Hardy, and how these collaborations transformed from intimidating to inspiring.What makes Beau's perspective particularly valuable is his emphasis on idea generation and authentic storytelling. His philosophy of surrounding yourself with like-minded creatives and constantly mining conversations for lyrical gold provides practical wisdom for aspiring songwriters. Beau's humility shines through as he describes the moment he heard his songs on the radio and performed at Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest.Whether you're a songwriter looking for inspiration, a music fan curious about how hit songs come together, or simply love great storytelling, Beau Bailey's journey from Louisiana to Nashville success proves that sometimes the most unexpected detours lead to the most remarkable destinations. Listen now and discover the stories behind the songs you love.
Scripture:Mark 6:17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. 18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. 19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. 21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his Lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; 22 and when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. 24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. 25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. 26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. 27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother., King James VersionIn this episode, we are seeking the Lord on behalf of several right now issues that we are facing on this earth.

Esta mañana hemos llevado al territorio de lo insoportable a la escritora Laura Ferrero ("Los astronautas") , porque una de las mejores formas de conocer a alguien es preguntarle, no por lo que le gusta, sino por todo lo contrario, por todo aquello que no le interesa o no puede soportar. Así hemos sabido que Ferrero y la película Dirty Dancing no casan; que, por ejemplo, para ella la ciudad de París no vale una misa o que los libros de una colección infantil, al imponérselos de pequeña, no mereció más que su rechazo, el mismo que ahora le procura Brian Ferry.

Flashdance (1983)—Dream Big or Go Home?In this energetic episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell dive into the iconic 1983 film Flashdance. Neither had seen the movie before, leading to some surprising reactions as they examine this influential 80s classic through modern eyes.Nathan reveals how Flashdance became the progenitor of the Simpson-Bruckheimer production style that dominated 80s and 90s cinema, influencing everything from Top Gun to Dirty Dancing and Footloose. The hosts discuss how this $7.5 million film that grossed nearly $100 million established the MTV-style visual language that would later evolve into the Michael Bay aesthetic.While Krissy found herself disappointed by the movie overall (giving it just 5 out of 10 "bras removed through shirts"), both hosts agree that the dance sequences are electrifying highlights in an otherwise disjointed narrative. They examine the film's problematic message about dreams and failure—that one setback means you should abandon your ambitions altogether.The hosts also explore the complex portrayal of Alex (Jennifer Beals) as a young woman experiencing sexual awakening while making questionable emotional decisions, and discuss the fascinating behind-the-scenes facts about Marine Jahan, the uncredited dance double who performed most of the iconic dance sequences.Other Topics Covered:The problematic age gap between 18-year-old Alex and her 36-year-old boss/love interestThe contrast between burlesque dancing at Mawby's Bar versus stripping at the club across the streetThe film's impressive soundtrack filled with 80s bangersJennifer Beals' performance and her famous "bra removal through sweater" techniqueThe supporting characters' abandoned dreams and limited character developmentNathan's recommendation of All That Jazz (1979) for a more substantive dance filmKrissy's unexpected endorsement of welding as an empowering hobbyWhether you're revisiting this classic or discovering it for the first time, this episode offers fascinating insights into how Flashdance helped shape 80s cinema despite its narrative shortcomings. As the hosts remind us, sometimes the most influential films aren't necessarily the most cohesive—but they can still deliver unforgettable moments that stand the test of time. --We couldn't do this without your support of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast!

Final ruling: We're worried about Bianca Censori, but we aren't worried about Bill Belichick. Dirty Dancing is in the news thanks to a “costume” being auctioned off.
