It was fun.
My dad owned bars my whole life.
So which bars he had lose next door pub in the 70s the Ritz on Pine Street and speeds and speed which
I
Paul's Saints.
I think they play against the iron or the Bobcats and he got he I said what was it like coming at Green Bank.
Oh man is so we played two games.
Like a Saturday and a Sunday or Friday and Saturday or whatever.
So it's been the night.
He said which was great and not
He said, we would fight like crazy.
And we'd all get together at speeds and chase women.
It was the greatest.
We all love coming to Green Bay because of a bar called
speeds.
Yeah.
And he had a stage.
So you do bands.
So when my brother and I were kids, we'd go help clean.
And we'd find guitar picks, drumsticks, and I'd find money quarters.
And the most exciting time was somebody would find a $5 bill on the floor or something.
And that was a lot of money in the 80s.
I mean visitors and
Yeah,
though?
But I brought it was a little sketchier back then.
I think Broadway is safer now than it's ever been Yeah, but even at that time, I think some people had a good time there.
I just don't I think it's just known right, you know, but that small town
big, big packers, you know, obviously, and I think it's just known as a, you know, you're pretty safe.
But, you know, but there was some not good
happening.
Let's go
yeah.
Taken from the fire into the frying pan On and on, she just keeps on trying And she smiles when she feels like crying On and on, on and on, on and on Oh, Jimmy sits alone in the moonlight
And of course, the Civic Media app.
Nice day out there.
Forecast, Green Bay 33 right now.
Apton 34, Oshkosh 30.

A lot of things going on this week.
Tell you what, how about a little Steven Bishop bringing us back to a great time and a great era.
You know what you should do tomorrow?
You should go down to the greatest record store in all of Northeast Wisconsin.
Rock and Roll Land.
It's National Record Store Day.
See you there.
See you there.
Perfect yeah, thank
remember that movie that movie
Oh, yeah, because that was
movie and that helped make her huge Got some other text coming in Michelle says I love the moody blues album.
That was actually blue My mom played it every day another on my first album.
I bought the eighth grade at shop go on military
Love Shopco.
They also had Shopco liquor attached to it.
That was always
Oh.
About a couple of years ago, I bought a really cool jazz collection from a restaurant.
And they were full LPs that they played these jazz records.
And I think it was in Algoma.
They had stamped on the records, never a bum steer.
And whatever the supper club
remember.
But.
They were, some of them were a little rough, but they were so awesome.
And the story that they played these records in the 60s and 70s, why people were eating at the supper club was just amazing.
That's fantastic.
They would burn those 45s pretty hard.
That needle coming down, you get that tube burn.
My grandfather had a bar too, and so there were 45s from there, and then he worked at a junkyard later in life, and he would collect all these things, and so I would have them, and it was just
I
do both those jobs.
I remember changing 45s out of my dad's jukebox, and...
Back then, they didn't care to keep the whatever 45 was going off.
So we had always had a stack of 45s and then the little 45 stacker and we just keep shuffling through those 45s.
Somebody said, pool table free.
You got to pick it up.
You got to do everything.
Don't touch it.
It was in rough shape as a bar pool tip took it home and took off some parts.
It hadn't been changed in like 20 years with the quarters.
The entire thing.
All the way around the thing were quarters like 20
years overflowing.
and
Yeah, and he said oh my god.
This is unbelievable So that would be cool to have got another one talk about talk about what Spencer is up to okay We shall Spencer is doing and again.
He's using a football instead of a paint brush He's painting two iconic images of curling Lambo and I would say the other one is Tony Canada.
Oh
No, Don Hudson.
Don Hudson.
That's Don Hudson and Curly Lambo.
He's painting these live on the air.
You can see it on our live stream right now.
And what we're going to do, Jim's organization.
Yeah football.
tomorrow.
getting kicked off.
People start lining up tonight or an event that opens up tomorrow morning at seven.
So.
And no buying records tomorrow.
So hold tight on bringing your collections in.
Saturdays in general are pretty tough for me to look at records.
During the week is always best.
Tuesday through Friday, we open 11 to five.
And I can look, I can go through a collection pretty fast.
I get a good gist of what's there versus condition and I can assess a collection pretty quickly.
Yeah, it's it's coming in by records.
now to get into your store tomorrow?
It's the limited releases The wicked soundtrack we got one copy.
Oh my gosh, they press 2000 In the country in the country you have one one copy.
Yeah So it's the soundtrack, but it's a different art different colored records as a green record pink record So we got one copy which years ago
if they were doing such a low run, you got allocated and sometimes you would get none.
So the last three years, they've kind of said, okay, let's make sure every store gets at least one that participates
Record Store Day.
So- Do auction it off?
Or is it the first- Some stores do that.
I just, I have to put it out there.
I think it'd be more of a hassle for me to try to figure out an auction.
Right.
You know, and it's only, I think it's a $30 record, $40 record or something like that.
So-
That's not like a hundred dollars.
No,
right?
It's gonna be whoever's first.
We keep the line in order.
So whoever's first has their first shot.
And they might not even want that one.
So the chances of you're being third or fourth or
believe the first guy would.
Well, yeah, but not everybody's like you, Jim.
Sometimes, you know, it's a true fan that really wants it.
If these guys are gonna sit outside all night.
Yeah.
And you do have a porta-potty.
We do have a porta-potty.
I was trying to get a coffee vendor to be out there, but there's so much going on with the draft coming up and everything going on.
There's a tattoo convention.
It is just so much so I never got the hold of a coffee vendor.
Some
They do that.
They do that.
But
That's a fun event.
It's it's kind of used to be so nerve wracking.
And now I just keep increasing the order every year.
And, you know, I just
Oh for sure, and that probably will
Mino and the Mayor here and a great look at Friday morning.

Are we going there?
We've been doing along great.
All
up five miles down the road.
Pretty much, yeah.
So I sang, I had like classical training and JD would like steal my guitar when I was when we were in high school, I think.
And that's how he learned how to play.
You
a guitar player like that's my main instrument.
I picked this up over the years I'm still like I'm still learning this thing
fear is like someone really knowing what they're doing hearing me like
They're tough.
They're really
Kind of a drunken night.
I was at a show in Manitowoc and The the bands were playing and I walked up to like the promoter of that Event and I said hey, you know my brother JD
Yeah, we sing together.
And we're in a band.
We could open, you know, for one of your shows.
And he's like, cool, that's awesome.
Two days later, he books us, but I hadn't told JD that we were a band yet.
So then we had to do all the things, come up with a name and get our 45 minute set list.
And then
we just went from
there.
Sure.
Yeah, on Nettle Hill, we were looking for a band name because we just made up a band.
A writer on the time we were looking for a name, there's an article in our Harold Times newspaper about the history of Cato, which is a town not too far from where we're up.
And that town's name was originally Nettle Hill.
She sends me that and says, what do you think about that?
There's our name.
place
I think it's on Zilla.
You know what I mean, right?
Yeah, I think it's for
man

yourself.
We're the band Nettle Hill.
This is our song, Seven Years.
Seven years since I've been tied down Seven years since I put on that wedding gown I got three kids, two girls, and a boy Now it's frozen dinners and broken toys Till he comes home

yesterday Looked down at my hand and found my first grave
that one.
You know
Well, thank you very much.

And spend the day and
if there's still I mean tomorrow wouldn't be that day But if there's anything more fun than going like nice to be on the road for Green Bay and there'd be a record It's like there's nothing more fun than the nostalgic great feel when you're going through those bins It's like oh, I remember this eagle salvo.
I remember
the best part sometimes It's so therapeutic just to flip through the bins and see what's there and
memories
see regional things, like, uh, down in Texas, I was able to find some like Texas rockabilly bands and stuff that are
obscure here.
Um, you get down south, you get a little more soul and R and B, um, just cause it just doesn't make it to Green Bay, some of that stuff.
So you see regional things.
You go to Minneapolis, you might see more replacements, soul asylum prints, prints, obviously, but, um,

a hundred
album okay and it got
