with Cowboy Copas for Starday. The gimmick is that they're sitting around,
playing guitar duets. Bond starts off by playing "I'm Thinking Tonight of
My Blue Eyes." Then Copas picks "The Wild Side of Life." Bond's turn comes
and he selects "The Great Speckle Bird." Then Copas does "I Didn't Know God
Made Honky Tonk Angels." The gag is that all four songs - big hit songs for
the Carter Family, Hank Thompson, Roy Acuff, and Kitty Wells ALL had the
same melody. The payoff comes when they decide to make up a song on the
spot and both play the same melody again. Copas says it's a great melody
and asks Bond what he was going to call it. "I don't know, I can't think of
a title," Bond dryly says.

too lazy to dub it from my copy of the LP.

recordings that were as close to the previous one as possible. I wonder if
anyone at the time had the "alternate takes" mentality that some of us have
had since, and enjoyed collecting and hearing different versions of the
same tune?
