"The Last Broadcast" with Red's special guests Pat O'Day and Bruce Allen aired on CISL650/Vancouver on August 27, 2017.
As the final note of 'Fortune Teller’ wafts through the speakers, Robinson tells his listeners, "I remember that record. Bobby was known in Canada and I thought this was such a hit. It was recorded in Nashville, not here. We didn’t have the infrastructure then, did we, Bruce?"
'No.'
“And so I said, 'give me a copy of that’. And I sent one to you, and Pat, you played it and it charted in Seattle.”
“Yes, it did.”
“And I sent another copy to KPOI in Hawaii, to Ron Jacobs. And between the two of you, Curtola got on the charts in America.”
Also in this episode, Pat recalls a great story about "Wooly Bully" and the guys reminisce about one of Bruce's favourites, a one-hit wonder by the Redwoods.
