Wilson Dixon's Radio 2 show The Wilson Dixon Line starts on Thursday. We've already seen examples of his wisdom and musical prowess on this blog. But just who is he? To find out more, watch his interview with Johnnie Walker above (I particularly like the bit about the clocks) and then read this exclusive communication from the man himself:
Howdy Folks,
My name's Wilson Dixon. I'm a country singer from Cripple Creek in Colorado. The folks here at the Ö÷²¥´óÐã have got me to write a little web log (or blog for those of you who are up with things... or maybe eblo or webl for those of you who get things like this wrong) for the purposes of introducing myself.
Firstly, let me say just how happy I am to be at the home of country music in British England, Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio 2. Let me also say that I love the United Kingdoms and that it's probably my favorite of the developing nations. It's also a real honour that my old friend Johnnie Walker was able to lend his voice to the introductions for the show. Me and Johnnie have known each other for years, but I guess we became real close friends after I bailed him out of jail in Bella Vista, Arkansas, back in '94. (Incidentally, Bella Vista don't have a good view of anything). After we'd drunken a bottle of the local sour mash whiskey, Johnnie ran into the police station nude from the waist down shouting "the pant bandits have struck again!". The local police didn't believe him, and threw him in a cell with a guy who had also had his pants stolen, at least, that's what it looked like when I arrived with the bail money.
Unfortunately I won't be in England to hear the series; I'm at home in Cripple Creek. We don't get the Ö÷²¥´óÐã here usually, but it's a lucky thing 'cause since my Uncle Randy took the door off a microwave oven and set it going up in a pine tree near his house for the purposes of catching (and cooking) feral chickens, he can listen to every radio channel in the whole world on his transistor radio, the one that hangs on the door to the washroom. We'll all be gathered around it, eating chicken and listening in.
I would like to web log a little more, but I got a couple of sick pigs here on the farm that need my attention. Don't worry, it's not the swine flu, they're just a little unwell. I'll tell you what though, and this is for free, that swine flu don't surprise me. This may come as a shock to some, but pigs eat their own dung. What is a surprise is that this whole swine thing hasn't happened sooner. You eat some of your own leftovers and tell me how you feel in the morning.
So anyway, lets not bog this blog down with pig talk... I hope you enjoy listening in to the series. God bless yourselves and take care.
