(because Matthew won’t let me take his picture anymore, I am using the above horrible, blurry, red-eyed cropped photo from 4 years ago.)

Here is the original… which I just realized my fives of listeners should all recognize… Pictured: Me, Matthew, Selena (a/k/a Mrs. Rolando Ramos), Philip Nolen, and James Bondy. Beloved members of the LFTF Family, each and every one! ❤️ — Here is the original… which I just realized my fives of listeners should all recognize… Pictured: Me, **Matthew**, Selena (a/k/a Mrs. **Rolando Ramos**), **Philip Nolen**, and **James Bondy**.

[ Extras ] Matthew sings the BluBlockers jingle as “Blair’s Blue Blazer.” I honestly had never seen or heard of this before… I have learned something new this week. :-)

Its hard to believe I forgot this commercial. Blublockers were everywhere on TV back in the early 1990s. This commercial was originally aired on 7/11/1993. It was run during the syndicated broadcast of "1993 Formula 1 Britsh Garand Prix" on ESPN. This was a live broadcast.

[ Extras ] Matthew and I go off on a little ‘novelty tune’ tangent, and thought it would be fun to share these classic gems:

Ray Stevens!

“Ahab The Arab” from 1962… not the most PC by today’s standards…

Ahab the Arab

“Gitarzan” from 1962…

"Gitarzan" is from the album called Gitarzan and was Rays' fourth studio album, released in 1969, as well as his second for Monument Records. Unlike his previous album, "Even Stevens", this album is completely in the genres of novelty and comedy.

“The Streak” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the USA, spending three weeks at the top in May 1974. (Nothing like a country song with a laugh track… ?!?!)

"The Streak" is from the album called Boogity Boogity and was Ray Stevens' eleventh studio album, released in 1974, as well as his sixth for Barnaby Records. For this album, Stevens returns to the genres of novelty and comedy.

In the 1980s, to capitalize on the MTV craze, he re-recorded the songs and made these accompanying videos:
