Book Vs. Movie: ConvoyThe CW McCall Novelty Song Vs. the Sam Peckinpah (!) FilmIn the mid-1970s, a unique country song about truckers, CB radios, and the open road captured the imagination of America. It was called "Convoy," and it not only topped the charts but also inspired a Hollywood movie, solidifying its place in pop culture history. Initially a novelty tune, it evolved into a cultural phenomenon. The song was written and performed by C.W. McCall, the alter ego of ad man Bill Fries, in collaboration with musician Chip Davis, who later founded Mannheim Steamroller. "Convoy" rode the wave of the CB radio craze that swept through the U.S. during the 1970s. The song's immense success attracted Hollywood's attention, and soon, the story of "Rubber Duck" made its way to the big screen. The movie, directed by Sam Peckinpah, known for his gritty and violent Westerns such as The Wild Bunch and Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, added a dramatic twist to the whimsical narrative. So, between the song and the film, which did the Margos prefer? Listen to find out!

Frank Murphy is joined by his friend Kathryn Frady, who has been in Cleveland to direct a production of Glory Denied. Frank recorded a behind-the-scenes video at a rehearsal for the Akima Cabaret, which will take place on March 1 and 2, 2024 at the Mill & Mine.  Frank will be the emcee and auctioneer for Marble City Opera's Pop-Up Opera Party on February 24, 2024. Frank tells Kathryn that he's not a real auctioneer and that last year he faked it. Buy tickets at https://www.marblecityopera.com/  Frank's friend Bean sent him a text about a member of Trans-Siberian Orchestra who passed away. Frank and Jere went to a TSO concert at Thompson-Boling Arena and recognized local violinist Julie Bélanger Roy on stage.  Frank and Jere went to a Mannheim Steamroller concert at the Tennessee Theatre. They recognized several players from the Knoxville Symphony orchestra including violinist Sean Claire and oboist Claire Chenette. The band had just taken a bow when an announcement was made about a shooting nearby.  This episode is sponsored by BoneZones.com (don't forget the S).

Frank saw a meme about a Kia Soul that thought it was a Tesla.  Frank was parked at St. John's Cathedral while waiting for a Marble City Opera board meeting. He saw a vehicle from WVLT across the street. The employees of the TV station flew a drone over the parking lot, which is the proposed site for a new hotel.  Frank and Jere watched a Detroit Lions playoff game but the sound on their over-the-air box doesn't work. Frank recommends watching a game with Jere's commentary. It felt the same as watching TV in a restaurant that you can see but not hear.  Frank and Jere went to a movie theater to see three episodes of The Chosen. There was a five-minute intermission between the second and third episodes but Frank wished it was longer.  Support the Frank & Friends Show by purchasing some of our high-quality merchandise at https://frank-friends-show.creator-spring.com  Sign up for a 30-day trial of Audible Premium Plus and get a free premium selection that's yours to keep.

What the Riff!?! delves once again into the great (and not so great) Christmas songs to add a little cheer as you rock around the Christmas tree this year.“Carol of the Bells” by Mannheim SteamrollerMannheim Steamroller covers a Ukrainian carol from 1922.  They highlight a 3 against 2 polyrhythm that is present in the original song, and add a major key change that is not present in the original.  This is off their second Christmas album released in 1988 entitled "A Fresh Aire Christmas."  “O Come O Come Emanuel” by Bad ReligionThis fast-paced rendition takes an 8th century song and puts a punk twist to it.  It is a quick song, like most bad Religion tracks. “Yellin' at the Xmas Tree” by Billy IdolRocker Billy Idol reminisces about times with his drunk father yelling at the Christmas tree.  "Oh the Christmas bells are ringing and the carolers are singing, but Daddy, he don't hear 'em, he's yellin' at the Christmas tree."“Space Christmas” by  Shonen KnifeThis Japanese punk-pop band was inspired by the girl groups of the 60's and the Ramones.  This sci-fi Christmas track has a "bubblegum pop" sound with a punk edge.  “Taking Care of Christmas” by Bachman Turner OverdriveWhen Rob covered "Bachman Turner Overdrive II" earlier this year we discovered this Christmas remake of their classic single.  It is surprisingly catchy for a song overhauled for Christmas.  Randy Bachman did an all-Christmas album in 2008 including this song.“Christmas All Over Again” by Tom Petty and the HeartbreakersThis original song was penned by Tom Petty on a ukulele in 1992.  It was used in the motion picture "Home Alone 2:  Lost in New York," and also appeared in "Jingle All the Way."  Jeff Lynne co-produced the song, played bells, bass, timpani, sang background vocals, and wishes for a Chuck Berry Songbook in the song.“God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” by the REO SpeedwagonREO Speedwagon keeps the original feel of the carol in their rendition of this classic.  It was released on their 2009 album, "Not So Silent Night...Christmas with REO Speedwagon."  The original English carol dates back to the 1650's.  “Santa Claus” by The SonicsThis song with a fuzzy guitar appeared on the debut album from The Sonics back in 1965.  The Sonics were a garage band out of Tacoma, Washington in the 60's, and influenced the punk and grunge movement.  They are likely best known for their party song, "Louie, Louie."“Santa's Messin' with the Kid” by Eddie C. CampbellBlues guitarist and singer Eddie C. Campbell was well known in the Chicago blues scene and learned guitar from Muddy Waters.  This song was released on his 1977 Christmas album.“What Christmas Means to Me”  by Stevie WonderThis original song was released on Tamla records in 1967 on Wonder's eighth studio album entitled "Someday at Christmas."  It was the final track on the album which consisted of a mix of Christmas standards and original music. “Merry Christmas Darling” by the CarpentersNo Christmas playlist would be complete without Karen Carpenter's voice.  This song was originally recorded by The Carpenters in 1970.  The lyrics date back to 1946 when songwriter Frank Pooler wrote it about a love interest at the time.  He had The Carpenters perform it when they were his music students at California State University, Long Beach.“White Christmas” by Bing CrosbyBing Crosby originally performed this song composed by Irving Berlin in 1940.  It was performed for the first time in December 1941, and appeared in the motion picture "Holiday Inn" in 1942.  (and there might be a bonus song...)We at What the Riff?!? wish every one a blessed and Merry Christmas!
