Do you have any Buster and Eddie high school headcanons? I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Ooooo that you so much for the ask! I love the idea of Buster and Eddie knowing each other during high school so I have a few! I hope you enjoy! - <3 Gooseless

-------------------------------------

Eddie went to Buster's Bat Mitzvah and sat in the front row next to Charley during the ceremony.

They had joint custody of prize they won together at a fair and would pass it back and forth during classes.

Buster always brought posters to Eddie's swim meets to cheer.

Eddie would always trade whatever fancy food he'd been given for lunch with the junk food Buster had.

Buster did the most elaborate prom-posal in their entire school, complete with a really bad pun.

They met in a theatre class (Buster worked stage crew and Eddie's parents forced him to take it).

Eddie stayed with Buster and Charley a lot because it felt homey there.

Buster would drag Eddie on adventures every weekend.

They watched movies and shows every day together at lunch on Eddie's phone.

Eddie was the one who introduced Mrs. Crawly and Buster and watched first hand as she took on a mother role for him.

Buster signed Eddie up for the first ever video game tournament he ever did their junior year as a way of stress relief.

Overall, they were just the epitome of high school sweethearts. Very much Micheal and Jeremy from Be More Chill at times.

IT'S ACE DAY, WOOO- [whoopsies procrastination 🤭]

I started this yesterday and was gonna post it for Ace Day, but then I didn't have the energy to finish all of it, so, yeah. Take this headcanon a day late >:]

I'm so self-indulgent with all of these characters. I find it hard to imagine characters that aren't ace, so I guess it's not really a surprise lmao. Like, I was looking at my character database, and I realized that a good half of these guys are on the Aro or Ace spectrum:

[including my aro people here too because I can >:]]

Buster - Gay, Asexual Eddie - Pan, Greysexual Charley - Aroace Meena - Bi, Asexual Gunter - Pan, Aromantic Mike - Bi, Aromantic Judith - Lesbian, Greyromantic Porsha - Bi, Demisexual Nooshy - Aroace

It's like a decent half of them. :p

[bonus]

[midnightdemonz]

Charley (I think that's his name? Is that a fanon thing?) would be the most supporting dad in the world. I have this idea that when Buster was figuring out his sexuality (around 11-15), he came out to his dad, and his dad just hugged him and was very supportive and aaaaa!

[hello-im-not-a-possum]

What's your personal headcanons on bendy cartoons?

(Some of these might be comic focused as the comics show more personality to them than the shows) If Bendy was fully brought to life without a human soul, just had a soul of his own, he'd be selectively mute.

As a demon, Bendy is able to be summoned, you just need to know the right spell...

Boris didn't even notice anything wrong with the soup he ate in Souper Boris not out of stupidity, but because he thought it was a new recipe as the meteorite tasted like cheese just like the moon did.

Boris has grown up around aliens and the supernatural (His friend and neighbor is an imp and their mutual friend is an angel after all) so unlike the average Joe toon, he's unphased by a lot of weird shit that freaks out most people.

Alice doesn't have wings because her bell didn't ring yet.

She is aware that her fate changed, that she went from being a popular singer with lots of adoring fans to only just barely getting her singing career to take off, she just doesn't know the right place and time to address it with who. To her knowledge, it's a weird curse by a jealous, yet powerful creature. She's right, but her mental image is an in-universe demon, not an out of universe demon...

Charley Butcher used to be a con Priest, the reason why he hates Bendy so much (and Boris and Alice by extension) he went from living in a super mansion with all sorts of fancy things to needing to live in Barley's ship because the three found out his scam and the townsfolk were NOT HAPPY.

Barley used to have a pirate crew, but they mutinied and abandoned the ship. He thought he could rope Charley and Edgar into being his new crew, but there's been a slight change in plans as he and Charley 'share' the leader role and Edgar's fine with not being the leader as he's still a pretty small kid.

Lots of people tell themselves that Edgar's an adult who acts like a kid because the mental image of a spider THAT big only getting bigger and bigger horrifies them. Bendy and friends and the butcher gang know the truth though...

The Original Bendy & the Ink Machine Game Posters

Building any game universe is all in the details. In Bendy and the Ink Machine, there are posters hung all around the in-universe limbo studio. These posters were designed to feature the in-universe Bendy TV show cartoons. This article will present the original art of these posters created by TimetheHobo.

1. Bendy in Little Devil Darlin’

This is the first poster created for the game. According to the in-universe information, the first episode was released in 1929. Each cartoon is advertised as being presented in “Sillyvision”. In Chapter 1: Moving Pictures, the poster is hung up on a wall in the studio’s entrance hall. This makes sense as Joey Drew Studios first animated cartoon should present the mascot himself, Bendy the Devil.

2. Bendy in Sheep Songs with Boris the Wolf

Observing the show’s development, Henry wanted to create a best friend for Bendy. Thus, Boris was born! The friendly wolf loves to play the clarinet. Noting this, it seems clear where this poster fits into the timeline as the second episode released in 1929. The entire plot of the cartoon is unknown. Instead, there’s only a clip of it in Chapter 5: The Last Reel. The only thing known is a part in the cartoon where Boris plays his clarinet, causing Bendy to sleep in the middle of his picnic, likely to steal his sandwich.

3. Bendy in The Dancing Demon

Based on the title of the poster, the episode was intended to show off Bendy’s love for dancing. While it’s not clear what the cartoon’s entire plot is, a scene clip reveals the setting is on a Hawaiian island. This is revealed through a smiling tiki on the left side of the clip and the bamboo torches in the background with the dancing Bendy dressed up as a hula dancer. This is most likely the third episode for the show because its first release was in 1929 or somewhere in the 1930s. For some unknown reason, the cartoon was re-released in the early 1940s.

4. Bendy in Sent from Above with Alice Angel

Unlike posters one through three, this poster was featured in Chapter 2: The Old Song in the game. The episode was released in 1933. It’s purpose was to advertise the new addition to the Bendy show’s cast of characters by promoting Alice Angel’s singing and dancing skills. Although it’s unclear what the full plot of the cartoon is, a clip of it from Chapter 5 displays Alice Angel singing while floating on a cloud adjacent to the moon.

5. Bendy in The Butcher Gang

The final poster features the Butcher Gang trio. Charley is an unidentified animal, however; he’s possibly a primate. He’s the gang’s leader. Barley the bandit is human. Edgar is a spider. The poster is first seen in Chapter 3: Rise & Fall of the game. This episode was released in 1935. Its setting takes place inside the dining restaurant where Bendy works as an employee. There’s only one clip, showing Charley having a conversation with the nervous Bendy while Barley and Edgar are arguing with each other. Edgar threatens a fight by raising his two front feet like clinging knuckles, making Barley snap with astonishment. Barely then grabs a pie from the dining table to throw it at Edgar out of anger, but Edgar grins and ducks down as the pie hits Charley instead.

What do you think? Despite the lack of information, which episode sounds the most appealing to you? Please share with me!

Sing Father’s Day Headcanons

Ash gets Father’s Day gifs for both Buster and Clay. Buster cried the first time she did so and Clay put her logo sticker on his guitar immediately afterwards.

Meena spends the day going to museums with her grandfather to celebrate, always ending the day with a picnic.

Buster watches his dad’s favourite movies with his family to honor him and will visit his grave to leave flowers every Father’s Day without fail. 

Ryan’s family just celebrates it as Mother’s Day 2.0 and will go out for brunch as a family. After meeting Marcus however, he starts calling him on Father’s Day.

Eddie has lunch with his parents before hanging out with Buster and the rest of their family for the day. He also sends a card to Hobbs however.

Johnny will get Marcus a mug with a horrible pun on it and spend the day helping him around the garage. He will also make dinner for him and his uncles.

Rosita and her family will typically play a board game marathon of Norman’s favourite games. She and the kids will let him win on Father’s Day only.

Nooshy makes Marcus a card that she always hides around the garage for him to find and eats dinner with the family.

Porsha spends the day hanging out with Buster and Eddie and will make them really elaborate cards. She will also send a card to Jimmy but it’s much plainer.

Just as there was a special Mother’s Day performance at the Majestic, there is also one for Father’s Day with additional performances by each teen cast member in honor of their dads (yes it is in the fic).

Quick aesthetic-test for the comic + some sketches I did recently-ish. I'm moving at a fucking snail's pace with this thing, but I'm getting there at least. I have it all framed out for the most part, I just need to actually FINALIZE it lmao [the first Interlude, I mean. The rest of it is FAR from being finished anytime soon].

Anyway- enjoy this, and the lack of context that comes with it. It's 1:30am I'm goin' ro bed now :p

Franny Robinson HC Infodump #7: More Music Stuff

tw: mentions of psychedelic use (it’s clear it is in moderation but)

Cover Contributions To Tribute or Charity Albums (and other notable covers):

King of the Road: A Tribute to Roger Miller - Franny recorded a cover of The Moon Is High (And So Am I) for the album. There’s a really cute video uploaded on her YouTube channel of her recording the song and she’s playing acoustic guitar and dancing around in place as she sings in several takes. It’s one of the few internet videos where her husband is seen, because sometimes the camera pans to the sound engineer booth when he’s sitting next to Serghei, her go-to sound guy.

She participated on the charity album BBC Children In Need: Got It Covered, since England’s been her home from nearly twenty years now. She sang a slowed down, gentler version of Pat Benatar’s Shadows Of The Night. (inspired by that being a song I vividly remember my mom singing to my siblings and I lmao)

For the album The Music Is You: A John Denver Tribute, Franny sang Rhymes and Reasons.

On a John Prine tribute album released in 2017, Franny and the other half of the duo Dara & Danny, Daniel Maitland, recorded In Spite Of Ourselves for the album.

For a Connie Francis tribute album, Franny sang Where The Boys Are

Franny, along with black country singer Erica James, curated a Charley Pride tribute album, featuring solely country or country-adjacent singers of color. “Charley Pride, when I discovered a black country artist, as an Asian-American growing up in the 80s, that was amazing to me. Because little Cambodian me was like, ‘wow, so you don’t gotta look like Dolly or Willie to love this music.’ Everyone thinks country and bluegrass music is white people shit, but it ain’t. It was always a mix of folks influencin’ it. DeFord Bailey paved the way for Charley Pride, who paved the way for Darius Rucker, who paved the way for Jimmie Allen, Willie Jones, Mickey Guyton, Erica right here, and non-black POC like myself and Dan(iel Maitland). It was such an honor to get to curate this album with Erica. Amazing.” Franny recorded Does My Ring Hurt Your Finger for the album.

On the Tracy Lawrence tribute album Good Ole Days, she recorded As Any Fool Can See with him

She was featured on Brooks & Dunn’s Reboot, recording She’s Not The Cheatin’ Kind

During a SiriusXM session, she sang Gretchen Wilson’s When I Think About Cheatin’, and the performance w/ent viral

On a Leonard Cohen tribute album, she recorded A Thousand Kisses Deep and that cover also became popular

During a Spotify Sessions recording with Seoul Hanoi’d, Franny recorded a cover of Marcy Playground’s Sex & Candy, which also blew up, prompting Seoul Hanoi’d to officially release it on their 2018 album. It was the second of five singles off of the album, and Franny in the music video was Hot ™

During a Spotify Sessions recording as a solo artist, Franny recorded a cover of Kris Kristofferson’s From The Bottle To The Bottom

Khmer Music:

Franny, for the most part, does not record or perform pop music. However, she’s collaborated on tracks with Cambodian pop singers

She writes a lot of songs used in the soundtracks of Khmer tv dramas, and sings a lot of them as well

She’s known as The Soundtrack Queen in Cambodia

In addition to a lot of songs for film and tv, she’s released three albums entirely in Khmer. A jazz album comprised of original songs and Khmer language versions of classic jazz songs; and two in the indie/alternative style of music similar to Seoul Hanoi’d

And she’s recorded Khmer versions of several of her most famous songs

With other Cambodian diaspora musicians, she regularly collaborates on special covers of iconic Khmer 60s and 70s songs

Songwriting

Franny’s even more active as a songwriter than a recording artist. She’s got over 1,000 songwriting credits to her name.

She began writing songs “when I was 11, but they were atrocious, unsalvageable things. The first song I wrote that ever saw the light of day even after heavy edits was first thought up when I was thirteen.”

Franny is openly bisexual and explores that in her songwriting-- however, most of her songs about women or her sexuality that she wrote “pre-2009-ish” she’s scrapped or sold to other artists. Why? “Look, I’ve been married to my husband for almost twenty years now. And that doesn’t make me any less bisexual. But a lot of the songs I’ve written about women are from the perspective of a thirteen through twenty year old me, and at forty, I’m not the best narrator for those stories anymore.They are my lived experiences and my lived feelings, but I want to see how someone actually going through that will take it and interpret it. The songs I write about women loving women now are about characters I make up for the purpose of storytelling so they’re about women closer to my age, it’s about big girl love, not adolescent love.”

Common themes in Franny Sor Robinson songwriting: geography, vivid imagery like she’s showing you a picture of what she’s singing about, Buddhist themes, Christrianity (she’s a Buddhist but grew up in the Bible Belt so she’s very familiar with Christian themes), alliteration

Franny came under a degree of controversy in 2014 with the release of a song called “The Sabbath” because it was a tasteful song about how much she likes sex with her husband after they’ve been apart for a while, and Franny was like “you know you’d think the pearl-clutchin’ folks would be glad I practically worship my husband, but I forgot women ain’t supposed to actually enjoy sex.”

She's written another really sweet song about making love with her husband that did Not get hate because it was Acceptable TM and pretty romantic actually. Think along the lines of Josh Turner's Your Man or Dierks Bentley's Come A Little Closer. Songs deff about how they wanna get down but sweet.

After Franny retweet a clip of that Tyler Childers song in 2019 with the caption “big relate”, she was asked in a tweet if a follow up to The Sabbath was in the cards. Franny replied with “there’s a demo recorded for a song I wrote about six years back and that’s that on that.” Yes, Franny Sor Robinson indeed has written a song about masturbation. She’s performed the song live a few times, however, it is still unreleased officially

Franny’s written songs with lyrics alluding to her family’s experiences under the Khmer Rouge and escaping and resettling around the world, she cleverly hides them among her albums so people accidentally digest some education

Cornelius is the well-documented muse for “every love song I’ve written that I don’t specify in the album notes or an interview is written about a character. My husband is the love of my life and had given me twenty years and counting of great material to write about.”,

Franny’s been on both ends of this story. In 2019, a song Franny wrote but didn’t record became a smash pop hit after she and her producer sent it around to other producers. They recorded Franny’s demo in mid-2017 and they and the bigger pop producer that worked on the song with them listened to over 20 demos of the song until they found the right person to sing it.

And in 2013, Franny got a huge boost to her fame when she was the featured vocalist on a pop song that became a global smash hit. Franny doesn’t typically do like...super top 40 pop type music, but she liked the song so when her agent suggested she record a demo for it and send it back to the producer looking, she was like “sure, okay” and then was absolutely surprised that they chose her over some of the names she knew also recorded demos for the song.

Misc. Music facts

In 2019, a group of NYU students (where she did her undergrad) made a Franny Sor Robinson tribute album project; the majority of the students were Asian students in the university’s music programs who cite her as a big inspiration for them pursuing music. She 100% cried

For the Netflix show Just Trust Me that she co executive-produces, Franny is also one of the people who soundtrack the show

In 2020, to celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary of her biggest solo album’s release, she pulled a The Story And Cover Stories (we stan Brandi Carlile) where it was re-released along with cover versions of each song by other artists including some of Franny’s biggest living musical influences. All proceeds for the album were donated to Cambodian Living Arts.

Franny has openly admitted in interviews to using mushrooms, LSD, and DMT before in songwriting sessions. Her stance is Kacey Musgraves’ stance. Franny quote from 2019, “Used responsibly, I think psychedelics are a worthwhile experience to have. But safety and education are key. I truly don’t believe they are party drugs. Psychedelics aren’t a party, they’re a deeply spiritual and philosophical journey.”

• Allen: Did you ever see Harry Smith's Folkways? Three volume, two records each, three box, two records each, American folk music? Beck: Yeah, seen it. Allen:  Ever heard it? Beck: Yeah, it's just a collection of a lot of the field recordings... Allen: But annotated, and actually a collection of his old 78s. Put together for Folkways, so it has some very early musicians. Uh, Texas Alexander, Richard "Rabbit" Brown. [sings:] things ain't now nothing like they used to be, things ain't now nothing like they used to be. I'd have a much better time but the girls now are so hard to please. I'll give you  sugar for sugar, but you'll get salt for salt. I'll give you sugar for sugar, but you'll get salt for salt. Baby you don't love me, you won't get nuthin' at all. Some time I think that you're too sweet to die, sometime I think that you're too sweet to die. Other time I think you oughta be buried alive. There's a whole great anthology. Beck:  That's what I love about the Blues. That a lot of those refrains were spread out in  a lot of different people's songs. A lot of the songs that different people have, they would take verses from different things, assemble them with.... Allen: Dylan took "Don't the moon look good shinin' through the trees" He took that from Charley Patton. Beck: Right. It's almost like you can't take those, though. They just sort of become a part of you and then they just come out. That's happened to me a few times.  I've done that a few times. This girl one time came up and said, that's from this song, and that's from Bug Spinners. It just becomes unconscious if you're playing that music long enough. • Backstage Lollapalooza AG & Beck Randall’s Island  7/29/95 photographer unknown • #Beck #allenginsberg #lollapalooza #harrysmith #charleypatton #RichardRabbitBrown #smithsonianfolkways #folkways #blues #deltablues #americanfolkmusic #folkmusic #bobdylan (at Randall's Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMUGfZBvCd/?igshid=154k3rrbza9u1

He first gained fame as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of rock band Hootie & the Blowfish, which he founded in 1986 at the University of South Carolina along with Mark Bryan, Jim "Soni" Sonefeld, and Dean Felber. The band released five studio albums with him as a member and charted six top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Rucker co-wrote most of the songs with the other members.

He released a solo R&B album, Back to Then in 2002 on Hidden Beach Recordings but no singles from it charted. Six years later, Rucker signed to Capitol Nashville as a country music singer, releasing the album, Learn to Live that year. Its first single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It", made him the first black artist to reach number one on the Hot Country Songs charts since Charley Pride in 1983. (Ray Charles hit number one in March 1985 in a duet with Willie Nelson with "Seven Spanish Angels".) It was followed by two more number one singles, "It Won't Be Like This for Long" and "Alright" and the number three hit "History in the Making". In 2009, he became the first black American to win the New Artist Award from the Country Music Association, and the second black person to win any award from the association. A second album, Charleston, SC 1966, was released on October 12, 2010. The album includes the number one singles, "Come Back Song" and "This".

Early life

Rucker was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, where his family history goes back generations. He lives in Charleston with his wife and three children. His single mother, Carolyn, a nurse at Medical University of South Carolina, raised him with his three sisters and two brothers. According to Rucker, his father was never around, and Rucker saw him only before church on Sundays. His father was in a gospel band called The Traveling Echoes. Rucker has said that he had a typical Southern African-American upbringing. His family attended church every Sunday and was economically poor, and at one point, his mother, her two sisters, his grandmother and 14 children were all living in a three-bedroom house. But he says that he looks back on his childhood with very fond memories. His sister, L'Corine, recalled that singing was always his dream.

Hootie & the Blowfish

Darius Rucker has been the lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish since its formation in 1986. He met fellow band members Mark Bryan, Jim "Soni" Sonefeld, and Dean Felber while attending the University of South Carolina. Bryan first heard Rucker singing in the shower, and the two became a duo, playing R.E.M. covers at a local venue. They later recruited Felber and finally Sonefeld joined in 1989. As a member of Hootie & the Blowfish, Rucker has recorded six studio albums: Cracked Rear View – 1994, Fairweather Johnson – 1996, Musical Chairs – 1998, Scattered, Smothered & Covered – 2000, Hootie & the Blowfish and Looking for Lucky – 2005, also charting within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 six times. All six albums feature songs that Rucker, Bryan and Felber wrote. As the frontman, Rucker began to be called simply "Hootie" by fans, though the band title combines the nicknames of his college friends. Before his rise to fame, he lived in the basement of the Sigma Phi Epsilon house at the University of South Carolina, attempting to launch his career through the college bar scene.

Rucker's signature contribution to the band is his baritone voice, which Rolling Stone has called "ingratiating," TIME has called "low, gruff, [and] charismatic," and Entertainment Weekly has characterized as a "barrelhouse growl." Rucker said they "flipped" the formula of the all black band with a white frontman, like Frank Sinatra performing with Count Basie. Musically, he has sometimes been criticized or spoofed for not being "black enough". Saturday Night Live ran a sketch of Tim Meadows playing Rucker leading beer-drinking, white fraternity members in a counter-march to Louis Farrakhan's Million Man March. He also received death threats for singing the Hootie song "Drowning," a protest song against the flying of the Confederate flag above the South Carolina statehouse.

Shortly after gaining a measure of fame, Felber and Rucker (who consider themselves best friends) moved into an apartment in Columbia, South Carolina. With Rucker's recognition as the frontman of a successful band came increased opportunities. In October 1995, he was asked to sing the national anthem at the World Series. Frank Sinatra invited him to sing at his 80th birthday party; he sang "The Lady Is a Tramp." That same week, he made a voice cameo in an episode of the sitcom Friends. He also joined Nanci Griffith on the song "Gulf Coast Highway" for her 1997 album Blue Roses from the Moons, and sang backing vocals on Radney Foster's 1999 album See What You Want to See. He encouraged Atlantic Records to agree to a deal with Edwin McCain and made a guest appearance on McCain's debut album, Honor Among Thieves.

In regard to the future of Hootie & the Blowfish, Rucker was quoted by CBS news as stating in late 2011, "I don't think we'll ever break up totally. We're Hootie & the Blowfish. ... We'll make another record and do another tour someday. I don't know when, but it will happen. There's one more in us." After a ten-year hiatus, Rucker and the band announced that they will be touring with Barenaked Ladies in 2019 while releasing a new album the same year.

Their sixth studio album Imperfect Circle was released on November 1, 2019.

Solo career

In 2001, he made his solo R&B debut album, The Return of Mongo Slade, for Atlantic Records. Because of contractual changes, it was never released by the label. Hidden Beach Recordings, an independent label, acquired the masters from Atlantic and released the album as Back to Then in July 2002. The album included work from the production team of Jill Scott, and she made an appearance on the track "Hold On." The single "This Is My World" was featured in the 2001 comedy film Shallow Hal. In regards to the album, "That was just a minute in my life," he later told The Arizona Republic about the record. "I was listening to a lot of Notorious B.I.G. and Lauryn Hill at that time, and I wanted to make a neo soul record." He also said in the article that he doesn't anticipate recording an R&B-styled disc again. "Country music is my day job now. I'll probably do this till it's all over, but that album was a lot of fun."

Rucker appeared on a pop-star edition of the quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in July 2001. He also portrayed a singing cowboy in a television commercial for the fast-food company Burger King, promoting its TenderCrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch sandwich in 2005. In the commercial, he sang a jingle set to the tune of "Big Rock Candy Mountain." In 2006 Rucker lent his voice to the track "God's Reasons" written by Dean Dinning and Joel A. Miller for the film The Still Life.

Country music2008–2009: Learn to Live

In early 2008, Rucker signed to Capitol Records Nashville as the beginning of a career in country music. His first solo single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" (which he co-wrote with Clay Mills) debuted at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts for the week of May 3, 2008. It is the first single from his second album, Learn to Live. For this album, Rucker worked with Frank Rogers, a record producer who has also produced for Brad Paisley and Trace Adkins. Rucker also made his Grand Ole Opry debut in July 2008. The single reached number one in September, making Rucker the first solo, African-American artist to chart a number one country hit since Charley Pride's "Night Games" in 1983.

Learn to Live was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 6, 2009, and received a platinum certification on August 7, 2009. The album's second single, "It Won't Be Like This for Long", spent three weeks at the top of the country chart in mid-2009. Its follow-up, "Alright", became Rucker's third straight No. 1 hit, making him the first singer to have his first three country singles reach No. 1 since Wynonna in 1992. The album's fourth single, "History in the Making" was released in September and peaked at No. 3. The singles also crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at 35, 36, 30 and 61.

Billboard magazine said that "there's a sense of purpose that makes Rucker feel like a member of the country family, rather than calculating interloper." Rucker made visits to various country stations around the United States, explaining that he was aware that he was the "new kid on the block." Mike Culotta, the program director of Tampa, Florida, radio station WQYK-FM expected that Rucker would be "somebody who would have entitlement," but instead said that "Darius engaged everybody." When Rucker found that "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" went to number one, he cried. On November 11, 2009, Rucker won the Country Music Association New Artist of the Year award (formerly known as the Horizon Award), making him the first African American to do so since the award was introduced in 1981. Only one other African American has won at the CMAs: Charley Pride, who won entertainer of the year in 1971 and male vocalist in 1971 and 1972.

Personal life

Rucker is an ardent South Carolina Gamecocks fan as well as a Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Reds fan. He also likes the film Stir Crazy, which he has seen more than 100 times.To show his loyalty to his University, he gave a free concert which was held at the Colonial Life Arena after the football team was able to win 6 games following a pair of losing seasons after joining the Southeastern Conference.

Rucker's mother died in November 1992 of a heart attack. His grief inspired two Hootie & the Blowfish songs: "I'm Goin' Home" and "Not Even the Trees." On April 21, 1995, his girlfriend (Elizabeth Ann Phillips) gave birth to Rucker's first child, Carolyn Pearl Phillips. His second daughter, Daniella Rose, was born to his wife, Beth, on May 16, 2001. They had a son, Jack, in 2005. The Hootie song "Where Were You" is about Rucker's strained relationship with his father, and was released only in Europe, where Rucker thought that his father would be unlikely to hear it. His country single "Alright" was inspired by his marriage.

Rucker is a friend of the golfer Tiger Woods, whom he met in a bar when Woods was 18. Rucker sang at the golfer's wedding with Hootie & the Blowfish and at his father's funeral. His interest in golf goes well beyond his relationship with Woods; he was a VIP guest of Team USA at the 2016 Ryder Cup, and he attended Arnold Palmer's funeral shortly before the Cup.

On November 7, 2016, Rucker told ESPN that he had become a partner in MGC Sports, a sports agency that currently represents golfers (among them Steve Stricker and Kenny Perry), football players, and coaches. He added that he was planning to reduce his performance commitments from 100 dates per year to about 30, and that he thought that his experience in the entertainment business would be an asset to potential clients. Rucker will be able to work without restrictions for golfers, but because he is not registered with the NFL players' union, he initially will only be able to meet with NFL players under very limited circumstances.

For the Undercover Boss series episode "Celebrity Undercover Boss: Darius Rucker" which premiered May 12, 2017, Rucker disguised himself as a 62 year old music teacher, ran an open mic night and worked as a roadie.

Philanthropy and impact

Rucker has regularly worked with charities that support sick and underprivileged children, via benefit concerts, volunteering, the PGA The First Tee Program, and the Hootie & The Blowfish Foundation which has raised nearly $4.5 million to provide funding to public education systems throughout South Carolina.

He serves as a board member of the MUSC Children's Hospital in Charleston, SC. where his mother worked for over 30 years from the time Rucker was a child, and has helped fundraise millions of dollars to help build a new hospital.

He also made a commitment to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital after touring the facility in 2008. Since then, Rucker has spearheaded an annual event focused on amazing music, memorable collaborations and heartfelt stories resulting in over $1.6M raised for St. Jude's to date.

Song: Happy Times / ‘Way Back Home / Dear Hearts and Gentle People

Artist: Bob Crosby with The Bob Cats

Record Label: Standard Program Library U-286

Recorded: 1950

Location: Galaxy News Radio, Diamond City Radio, Appalachia Radio

Here’s a song played this time on Galaxy News Radio and Diamond City Radio.

Three Dog keeps it laid-back and simple with “Here's Bob Crosby, singin' to us all about, ‘Happy Times.’“ Travis Miles has a bit more to say on the tune.

Here's something we can all stand to think about a little more often... it's "Happy Times" by Bob Crosby

Feeling down? Maybe this will lift your spirits. It's Bob Crosby singing "Happy Times."

Wishing on the moon sounds like a pretty good idea to me right now. It's Bob Crosby, singing "Happy Times."

Now let's hear from Bob Crosby, with "Happy Times." This is a favorite of yours truly. Reminds me that life is as happy as you're willing to make it.

This side does not feature the Bob-O-Links which has Bob Crosby’s voice ringing out solo. He even briefly whistles an air similar to how his brother did back in the 30s.

Likewise unlike the other Bob Crosby songs, Bing never seems to have recorded this one for Decca. He did sing it unofficially on his radio show. Fellow Decca cohort and familiar face Danny Kaye debuted the song in 1949 for the film The Inspector General just in time for the new year in 1950.

Here are all the songs listed on the disc. (Can it be called an album if the record can’t be played without lifting the needle after each track?)

2. Dear Hearts and Gentle People

Part 3: What is a Transcription Disc?

Many of the discs featured previously are 10 inch shellac record spinning at 78 rpm and hold about 3 minutes of music.

Until the invention of the vinyl long playing record in 1948 by Columbia, these 78s were how most of the world consumed recorded music. Longer recording times were difficult to accomplish prior to WWII. Wire recorders started to appear that magnetically encoded sound onto miles of hair-thin wire wound onto spools. Magnetic tape was being developed in Germany and would not be available for some years. Recording studios typically had to record directly to disc with little room for edits and retakes.

Transcription discs would filled this gap. While many are now familiar with the 7 inch disc or even the 12 inch LP, transcription discs were typically 16 inches in diameter or wider. Special broadcast turntables had tonearm pivots wide enough to accommodate them.

Early examples were made of aluminum or glass bases with a lacquer coating which grooves were cut into live from the radio. This is how many live radio and in-the-field broadcasts were preserved such as the Hindenburg disaster.

While the disc itself is much wider, the grooves were also wide, similar to the 78′s standard groove. These 16 inch transcription discs typically could hold 15 minutes of uninterrupted music per side. A typical 12 inch vinyl LP has microgrooves which are thinner and allow roughly 20 to 30 minutes of music per side.

Various companies by the 30s and 40s also provided electrically transcribed music available by subscription to various radio stations. Many discs had to be introduced as Transcribed in Hollywood to indicate they were not live. These later discs typically were pressed in vinyl instead of lacquers with each track ending in a locked groove to allow for customized cuing. While many such transcription discs had the traditional outside-start with laterally cut grooves moving side to side, others were inside-start with vertically cut grooves moving up and down to take advantage of various technical curiosities (Fallout inevitably uses some of these inside-start vertically cut records). These records also were monophonic sound as practical stereophonic sound had yet to become commonplace.

Gradually the need for transcribed filler music or customized star power was supplanted by the newly invented vinyl LP which could fit more music on a smaller disc and magnetic tape which would be reused. By 1950 when this disc was made, the writing was on the wall. A Billboard article from November 22, 1952 covers Standard Radio Transcriptions changing policies for its “old-fashioned E.T.’s” and offering radio stations to buy its complete electrical transcription libraries outright.

Incidentally, Bob’s brother Bing championed the use of magnetic tape and greatly accelerated its use in the recording industry.
