“Mo’ Better” reaches #1 at Cashbox Magazine

May 12, 2009

It’s been a tough year on everybody in the country with job losses, housing crisis, banking crisis, and a whole herd of politicians that don’t know their ass from fat meat!  So when I get some good news, I just have to share it.

“Mo Better” reached #1 on Cashbox Magazine’s charts this week.  This was a very pleasant surprise for the band and I.  Anyone that knows me, knows I don’t have a big ego and that I’m just a blue collar guy that plays music.  But I have to tell you, it feels very good to know people appreciate your music and that what we do as a band is worthwhile.  We can’t thank you all enough!  Bubba D.

Bubba vs. Telemarketers

May 8, 2009

I just received a phone call from a telemarketer with a foreign accent saying if I could answer one question, I’d win an all expense paid trip to some island I’ve never heard of.  By now, I normally would have said KMA and then hung up, but I thought I’d mess around with her and no matter what question she asked, I’d answer it wrong.

 Here was the question:

Telemarketer: “Can you name a state in the South that begins with the letter A, ends with the letter A, and every other letter is A”?

Bubba: Alaska?

Telemarketer: “Nice try, but Alaska is not in the South, why don’t you try again”?

Bubba: Arkansas?

Telemarketer: “Closer, but that’s not it, you can try again”.

Bubba: Atlanta ?

Telemarketer: No, Atlanta is a city, and we’re looking for a state, try again”.

Bubba: Argentina

Telemarketer: “Not exactly, Argentina is a country and the answer is a state in the southern part of the United States.  I can see you’re having a little difficulty, but we’re going to let you win anyway.  We’d like to send your winner’s confirmation, where do you live”?

Bubba:  Alabama

Yall take care, Bubba D. Liverance www.revbubbaband.com

Thanks for dropping by!  Things are moving along quite well with the band and the album.  Our current single “Mo’ Better” has climbed to #4 on Cashbox Magazine’s Beach Music singles chart and our first single “If You Can’t Shag” is still hanging in there at #10 with 94.9 the Surf in N. Myrtle Beach.  ‘Fessa John Hook’s Endless Summer Network also has us at #4 this week. Couldn’t ask for much more!

Quite a few radio DJ’s along the east coast have suggested we release “Fixin’ To” as our next single (probably in July or August).  If you have a suggestion or thoughts about our next single, we’d welcome your input cornholeprophets@gmail.com .

Yall be cool, and in the words of Elvis “If you can’t find a partner, use a wooden chair”!  Bubba D. Liverance
