THE STORY OF
CABEL T-B 1982-1987
Recordings of "Deca 1" (1-10)
THE STORY OF CABEL T-B RECORDING
#1
"Special First"
This is the
oldest know Cabel T-B recording in existence!!! Made in Houma, Louisiana
in the summer of 1982 (approximately) on 102 Krumbhaar Drive. It
is considered a "production" because it was not a recording of an actual
radio broadcast. Although we can't conclusively prove that the recording
took place in 1982 (it could have been as early as the summer of 1981),
we believe that it did (or at the very least was finished in 1982).
Although it is the oldest recording that we have in our possession, it
was not the first. The words "Cabel T-B" were uttered into a tape
recorder for the first time somewhere in the late 70's by the young child
named Dino Duet. However, all other
older recordings were lost and only this one survived all these years,
so we called it "Special First" (also this
is the first known Cabel T-B recording done with someone other than just
Dino by himself). This is the first and last recording with "Stacey
Roth" (one part of the recording actually takes place in her house, making
this the first time Cabel T-B records outside of the studio and "on location",
which becomes a big deal later on in "Deca 2"). The recording was
made on the second side of a 60 minute tape and is only 30 minutes long.
The recording starts with Dino saying "this is Cabel T-B" and then the
recording continues with the pulling of a cat's tail among many other childish
things (after all they were children approximately 8-10 years old).
There is also a brief appearance of "Jack Duet", later to be known as "Crappy
Jack".
Overall, the recording itself is
essentially pointless and plotless. However, it would prove to be
"the seed" that would germinate in Lafayette, Louisiana, becoming the inspiration
for the first official radio broadcast.

"9 to 5"
This was the
1st official radio broadcast for Cabel T-B. It was recorded in late
December of 1983 on Monday Square drive (not sure about the house number
and can't find it in Google maps for some reason) in Lafayette, Louisiana.
This would be the first broadcast made outside of Houma, Louisiana and
the first one featuring "Shep German" and "Kelly Galloway". The recording
is called "9 to 5" because that is what was written
on the tape that was used to record this broadcast. It was also recorded
on a second side of a 60 minute tape, like its predecessor, and is also
30 minutes long. This would be the first of 3 tapes used during the
many broadcasts in Lafayette, but the other two tapes would eventually
be recorded over with newer broadcasts, making "9 to 5" the only surviving
complete recording made there. The broadcast itself was mostly
of ridiculous commercials, songs played from other radio stations, sports
reports with Shep, and news with Kelly. Another important first is
the introduction of Cabel T-B's first "top ten", which would be done for
many years to come. Unfortunately, the music used is from another
radio station and a few silly sound clips. *Parts of this recording
is mentioned in the book "Human Dinosaurs PART ONE: The Tales of Mitch".
Four clips from this recording are included in the audio book versions
produced in 2018.
Overall, it went well as this was
one of very few recordings that Dino and Kelly worked good together on.
As of this recording, Cabel T-B is now officially born as a radio station!

#3
"Brinwood"
This was the
2nd official radio broadcast for Cabel T-B. It was recorded in the
fall of 1984 on 215 Brinwood drive in Houma, Louisiana. This recording
was titled "Brinwood" after the street name
of the new location. This recording has the first appearance of "Fred
on the phone", later to be known as "Fabulous Fred" and "Pot Head Fred".
It would also be the first mention of Dino's girlfriend "Jessica", as well
as the first and last recording with "Sexy Sally". This is also the
first use of nick names like "Dinomite Dino" and "Krazy Kelly". Another
important first is the use of drugs during the broadcast, for this would
continue for 24 years! The broadcast begins after a strange encounter
with He-man figures. Kelly is doing cocaine, Fred is getting paid,
and he runs out the door when he realizes he is on the air (the opposite
of what he would do in later recordings). At this time Fred is just
a small time drug dealer in a partnership with his friend Joey (*not
mentioned in the recordings but is mentioned in the book series "Human
Dinosaurs PART ONE: The Tales of Mitch"). More of the same type
of music is heard with an addition of some bad trumpet playing. Kelly
does some more top tens, Shep does more sports reports, Dino does some
more DJ stuff, and Sexy Sally does some "comedy".
Overall, this broadcast was chaotic,
boring, and nonlinear. The important introduction of Fred and
drug usage seems to be the only things that kept this recording from being
erased from history. It was recorded over one of the Lafayette recordings
on a 60 minute tape, but the broadcast is incomplete stopping at 47 minutes
in the middle of a top ten (presumably caused by a loss of interest in
the broadcast itself). Also, we begin to see the friction developing
between Dino and Kelly which effects the performance, as well as the material,
in the broadcast. Cabel T-B would then remain silent for about 6
months, only to come back with a roar!!!

#4
"Out of it"
This was the
3rd official radio broadcast for Cabel T-B. It was recorded on a
Saturday in April of 1985 on 215 Brinwood drive in Houma, LA. This
recording was called "Out of it" because it would
be the first broadcast made while Dino was totally drunk. This broadcast,
like the last one, was recorded on a 60 minute tape that was originally
used in Lafayette and almost made it full but falls short ending at 55
minutes (Dino gets sick towards the end of the broadcast and just shuts
everything down). This recording includes the first appearance of
"Wolfman Johnny". This is also the first "cigarette light intro"
ever used and this tradition would continue all the way to 2008!
It is also the first time you hear Shep's speech impediment, first use
of a bulldozer to bring in drugs (used several recordings since), and first
commercial for Fred's drugs (uppers, downers, weeds, etc.). This
would also be the first and last appearance of Dino's girlfriend "Jessica"
(with the exception of a cameo appearance in "Double Deca"). With
Kelly being out of town, the recording begins and ends with Dino, making
it the first recording with him totally in charge of every aspect of the
broadcast, making it also Cabel T-B's first official "Private Recording
Session" (meaning no outside influence, just Dino). The recording
begins with some tests followed by a change to a broadcast from a private
studio where a party ensues. Some music from MTV is heard followed
by a commercial featuring the introduction of Wolfman Johnny. Dino
is later joined by Shep, Wolfman, Fred, and Jessica, as he attempts to
DJ and do a top ten. As Dino gets drunker and drunker, the broadcast
eventually ends with a "sign off" to throw up in the bathroom (not recorded).
*Some
of this recording is mentioned in the book "Human Dinosaurs PART ONE: The
Tales of Mitch". Two clips from this recording are included in the
audio book versions produced in 2018.
Overall, this broadcast is hilarious
from beginning to end, progressively getting more outrageous as the night
goes on. Surely one of Cabel T-B's most infamous broadcasts, this
one went down in history as one of Dino's personal favorites. Setting
the stage for many broadcasts to come, "Out of it" makes its mark in history
by breaking the silence, that was threatening to end Cabel T-B, and simultaneously
evolving it closer to its more modern form.
THE STORY OF CABEL T-B RECORDING
#5
"Hit List"
This was the
4th official radio broadcast for Cabel T-B. It was recorded on the
last day of school in 1985 (I think that was 5-31-85) and would be the
last broadcast from 215 Brinwood Drive in Houma, LA until 1990 ("Bad to
the Boner!"). This recording is titled "Hit
List" because that was what was written on the tape that was used to
record it. The tape used was only 40 minutes long and only 33 minutes
of it was actually used for the broadcast. This recording has many
firsts: the first time Fred is referred to as "Fabulous Fred on the phone"
(although his official name change was shortened to "Fabulous Fred" later
on in "Out of it 2"), first time Fred uses the term "mon" (briefly as he
invites the fans to come to the radio station for "free drugs" without
actually giving the address of the radio station!), the first character
based songs like "The Wolfman Johnny dance" and the "Cabel T-B National
Anthem" (broadcasted again on "Double Deca"), the first official Cabel
T-B photo session (pictures taken the same night as the broadcast and are
included in the CD version), the first "The Joker's a doper" show, and
the first appearance of "Mad Madonna". After hearing about the success
of the "Out of it" broadcast, Kelly is once again interested in being part
of a Cabel T-B broadcast. Unfortunately, the friction between Dino
and Kelly is still there and, in fact, gets much worse in this broadcast.
The broadcast starts upbeat with the celebration of the last day of school
being a major reason. After the photo session (which includes pictures
of all the characters that appear in the broadcast), a top ten begins along
with some more, now nostalgic, commercials (like "Dr. Popper") and some
interesting character songs. Then the obvious differences in musical
tastes and no clear direction for the broadcast stifles any attempt to
make a good recording. Thus, much of the original broadcast was erased
on the second side of the tape. The broadcast has but one redeeming
contribution to Cabel T-B history, and that is "The Joker's a doper" (many
renditions of the show appear throughout Cabel T-B history). The
broadcast ends with Fred making a prediction that would later come to pass;
the continuation of the "Joker" show in future years starting with "The
Joker takes birth control" (which appears in the "Out of it 2" broadcast).
*Some
of this recording is mentioned in the book "Human Dinosaurs PART ONE: The
Tales of Mitch". In fact, Chapter 5 "The Day After the Last Day of
School" occurs the day after this broadcast was made and in the story Fred
appears in the same clothes he wore the night before. Two clips from
this recording are included in the audio book versions produced in 2018.
Overall, this broadcast sucks in
my opinion. Dino and Kelly do not get along very much at all; making
this broadcast a form of retrogression for Cabel T-B. Unlike "Out
of it", which took Cabel T-B a major evolutionary step forward, this broadcast
takes a step back. Having Fred save the day with his "Joker" show
is
the only redemption for the whole recording. This will be Cabel T-B's
last broadcast for over a year, but fortunately the best is still yet to
come.
THE STORY OF CABEL T-B RECORDING

"Out of it 2"
This was the
5th official radio broadcast for Cabel T-B. It was recorded in August
of 1986 at the new recording studio on 7 Gina street in Houma, LA (also
known as "the trailer"; one of only two trailer studios used by Cabel T-B).
It was called "Out of it 2" because the broadcast
was intended to be a sequel to its drunken predecessor made in 1985.
Unfortunately, this broadcast only starts off that way and ends up being
more like a sequel to "Hit List" (since there was not nearly as much alcohol
as the first one and by the end of the broadcast they are very much sober).
It was recorded on a 90 minute tape, but falls short of filling it ending
at 67 minutes. It still becomes the longest Cabel T-B recording up
to this point, and will maintain that status for almost 3 years.
That is not the only thing that makes this broadcast special, there are
also many firsts: first "nonconsecutive" sequel recording (although this
is only a two part series, some series recordings would go as high as five!),
first major character change (Fred now has an accent), first and last guest
appearance of Snapper (mentioned in the original "Out of it"!), first recording
using "line 1" also known as "the live kicker" (was used for most of the
recordings of Deca 1,2, and 3), first use of a "chrome" cassette tape (very
rare because of the extra cost to purchase them), first time Fred is called
"Fabulous Fred" and Wolfman is called "Weird Wonderful Wolfman Johnny",
first and last "Lee products", and first "perverted" style recording.
The broadcast begins with Dino getting drunk in the bathroom, followed
by the beginning of a top ten which is interrupted by Snapper and Kelly.
Unlike the first "Out of it", this broadcast is not a total drunken party.
This broadcast goes in a different direction, as Snapper starts wrestling
with Dino and makes the recording a bit boring. However, Snapper
eventually leaves and the broadcast goes in a perverted direction with
Fred's new "The Joker takes birth control" show and Dino's zany "Lee products".
Overall, the recording is historically
significant. Not only is this the first broadcast in over a year,
but it is also a major evolutionary step for Cabel T-B (much like the original).
Fred has spent his time away from Cabel T-B (during the one year break)
in Columbia, South America where he picks up his new accent and is no longer
just a small time drug dealer. Also, Dino has hit puberty, sounding
and acting accordingly. This will also be one of the last recordings
with Kelly playing a major part, as her life would seem to be destine to
take her away from Cabel T-B. This is a major resurrection for Cabel
T-B as a radio station, setting the stage for things to come which will
eventually lead to the greatest and longest broadcasting season in Cabel
T-B history in 1987.
THE STORY OF CABEL T-B RECORDING
#7
"Piss-off"
This was the
6th official radio broadcast for Cabel T-B. It was recorded in fall/early
winter of 1986 on 7 Gina street in Houma, Louisiana. It was titled
"Piss-off" because that was the title of the
broadcast for which it was recorded over. The original recording
(in the summer of 1986, shortly before "Out of it 2") was of a broadcast
that was incomplete (40 minutes) featuring Kelly and Dino, in which they
did nothing but "piss each other off" throughout the entire broadcast.
However, this broadcast (which did not involve Kelly at all) was recorded
on a 60 minute tape which, for the first time in Cabel T-B history, was
filled completely!!! There are other important firsts: first anniversary/review
style recording, first appearance of "MAC", first and last "scrapbook",
first appearance of "Arnold" (later known as "Arnold Swartscoffee"), first
action packed fight skit (many more would follow), and first official mention
of "Cabel S-C" ("Cabel S-C" was a rival radio station first mentioned in
unreleased "Cabel T-B" recordings dating back to 1984; these "lost" recordings
appear as "bonus tracks" in the CD version of Cabel T-B's "9 to 5"). *"Cabel
S-C" is also mentioned several times in the "Human Dinosaurs" book series.
The broadcast begins with the announcement of Cabel T-B's "three year review",
even though it is technically a "four year review" (1982-1986). What
is not mentioned in any great detail is the fact that the broadcast is
being deliberately recorded over the original "Piss-off" broadcast which
sucked so badly it need to be erased from Cabel T-B history! The
original broadcast proved that Dino and Kelly had grown too far apart to
possibly work together with any degree of success in this time period,
bringing the radio station to almost a complete standstill. Fortunately,
the "Out of it 2" broadcast set up a perfect opportunity to bring Cabel
T-B back from the brink of extinction and goes forward into a broadcast
season that would take off into history as the most productive ever (1986-1987).
The broadcast then continues with "MAC" and Dino broadcasting some of the
funnier moments in Cabel T-B up to this point, later joined by Fred, Wolfman,
Shep, and Arnold. The broadcast ends with Shep pissing off Arnold
who then gets in an armed conflict with Fred which ends in the near destruction
of the entire radio station. After "crashing out" and waking up to
a ringing phone and alarm clock, Dino and Fred sign off to prepare for
the next recording session of the broadcast. *Some of this recording
is mentioned in the books of the "Human Dinosaurs" series. Two clips
from this recording are included in the audio book versions produced in
2018.
Overall, this recording is a bit
boring in the beginning. However, the broadcast takes a walk on the
wild side in the second half, with Fred bringing in a serious amount of
weed and other drugs right before an interview with Arnold ending in a
shoot out and a pass out. Having successfully carried the torch from
"Out of it 2", this recording continues the momentum that would lead to
the full blown broadcasting frenzy that would make Cabel T-B "Totally-Banned"
and infamous as a radio station.
THE STORY OF CABEL T-B RECORDING

"Perverted Piss-off 2"
This was the
7th official radio broadcast for Cabel T-B. It was recorded in December
of 1986 on 7 Gina street in Houma, Louisiana. It is called "Perverted
Piss-off 2" for two reasons: it is the continuation of the original
"Piss-off" broadcast, it is also the most "perverted" recording made up
to this point in Cabel T-B history. It was recorded on a 60 minute
tape that was completely filled. Unfortunately, the original tape
was lost and only a poor quality copy of a copy remains (the original copy
was loaned to "Dirty Devin", who then lost it forcing Cabel T-B to get
another copy from "Radical Ray" who had made a "dual cassette" copy of
his copy of the original; unfortunately that technology produced a very
poor quality copy). Fortunately, that would be the first and last
time this would happen to a Cabel T-B recording. There are also a
few other important firsts for this recording: first "Perversion Hour",
first appearance of "Ray Perry" (later known as "Radical Ray" and "The
Ferry"), first recording with Dino "totally stoned", first "Editorials"
(many more would follow), first mention of "P.T." (also known as "Prick
Tease"), first "Blast from the past" (later to be done exclusively by "Howard
Badsmell"), and first "consecutive" sequel recording (although this consecutive
series is only two parts, there is one consecutive series that would go
as high as four). The broadcast continues, as it ended in "Piss off",
with Dino waiting for the first live broadcast from outside the radio station
to begin. However, this does not happen. Instead, Dino starts
off the first "Perversion Hour", in which calls are taken from perverted
fans everywhere leading up to the introduction of "Ray Perry" live at the
radio station. The broadcast continues with both Dino and Ray getting
stoned and drunk, doing editorials that are simply outrageous! The
broadcast then winds down with the first "Blast from the past" ever recorded,
featuring old recorded clips mostly from 1983. At the end of the
broadcast a "New Year's Bash" is announced, planed to be on location in
"Grand Isle" with Kelly. This also would not happen. *Some
of this recording is mentioned in the book "Human Dinosaurs PART ONE: The
Tales of Mitch". Two clips from this recording are included in the
audio book versions produced in 2018.
Overall, this recording is slow
going, having its moments of hilarious dialogue here and there but not
everywhere. It is a landmark recording nonetheless, planting seeds
throughout that would eventually germinate and grow into the blossoming
hilarious "pervert comedy" that we as fans all know and love. The
introduction of Ray is also of profound importance, as he would become
Dino's "right hand man" for many future recordings and eventually his "nemesis"
in later years. This broadcast is also a prelude to Cabel T-B's first
and only "New Year's broadcast" which ushers in the greatest single year
in Cabel T-B history: 1987!!!
THE STORY OF CABEL T-B RECORDING
#9
"New Year's Bash"
This was the
8th official radio broadcast for Cabel T-B. It was recorded on 12-31-86
and 1-1-87 in the recording studio on 7 Gina street in Houma, LA.
It is called "New Year's Bash" for obvious
reasons. It was recorded on a 60 minute tape that was filled up to
50 minutes, again for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, the broadcast
ended abruptly with Fred passing out and dropping the "line 1" tape recorder.
This becoming one of the most classic "sign offs" in Cabel T-B history,
it more than makes up for him ending the broadcast early. These firsts
and exclusives should be mention: first recording dates fully established
(there is no doubt what days the recording was made), first recording made
in two different years (others would follow, but few and far between),
first Shep with bad accent problems, first New Years' countdown recorded
(there would be only one more), first ridiculous amount of Fred commercials
(not the last but never as many, being that Fred's Delivery Store was the
sole sponsor of Cabel T-B at this point), first mention of Fred's "1-800"
number, first character songs since "Hit list" (only a few more would appear
in future recordings, but very rare), first mention of the "Cabel T-B Music
Album" (still in production at the time), first saying "I have no fucking
idea" (later to become a trademark of Cabel T-B in 1987), first mention
of "Cerch Jobe" (later to appear in person in the next recording), and
first official sign off saying "have a good one, save one for me, and always
have one in your pocket" (originated by Fred, and used for many years).
The broadcast begins with Shep and his ridiculously inappropriate accent,
followed by Wolfman Johnny announcing the "New Year's Bash" broadcast.
Dino and Fred arrive shortly after to begin the New Year's party right
with lots of drugs and booze. A character song contest begins with
a lot of karaoke type performances and silly ad-lib attempts. Short
of Fred's song "Wild Wild Life", the entire attempt is mostly embarrassing
and ludicrous. With Fred's song being the only one that makes sense,
he is awarded with taking charge of the broadcast for the rest of the recording.
Using clips from the still incomplete Cabel T-B "Music Album", Fred eventually
makes his famous "sign off" that is still used for many years to come.
*Some
of this recording is mentioned in the book "Human Dinosaurs PART ONE: The
Tales of Mitch". Five clips from this recording are included in the
audio book versions produced in 2018.
Overall, this recording did very
well considering the circumstances. With the original "Grand Isle"
broadcast being canceled at the last minute, Dino and the cast and crew
of Cabel T-B give it their all to make it enjoyable right there at the
radio station in the trailer. Also, Fred really shines as a now predominant
member (and sole sponsor) of Cabel T-B, producing many, many commercials,
including one broadcasted in the middle of someone else's radio broadcast.
This recording becomes the predecessor to one of Cabel T-B's most historic
broadcasts ever made, the infamous and popular "Electrical Difficulties".
THE STORY OF CABEL T-B RECORDING
#10
"Electrical Difficulties"
This was the
9th official radio broadcast for Cabel T-B. It was recorded on 2-15-87
in the recording studio on 7 Gina street in Houma, Louisiana. It
is called "Electrical Difficulties"
because of the many problems that developed with the equipment during the
broadcast. It was recorded on a 60 minute tape that was filled completely.
From beginning to end, this broadcast is a roller coaster ride of zany
antics. A monument of Cabel T-B evolutionary progress, many firsts
would become part of Cabel T-B for all time. Although not all of
these firsts were THAT important, here is the list: first "Tasty Tampons"
commercial (later to become a classic), first "electrical difficulties"
style recording (to be used for many years to come), first appearance of
"Cerch Jobe" (one of the most loved/hated characters in Cabel T-B history
and would be featured in many recordings from 1987-2008), first "Warm-up
drill" (many, many more would follow, with the last being in 2005), first
mention of "Devin" (later to join Cabel T-B as "Dirty Devin"), first appearance
of "Ignorant Hugo", first censored section of lost history (*mentioned
in "Human Dinosaurs: PART ONE The Tales of Mitch" in Chapter 15 "The Showdown
with Bulldog" and still controversial to this day; a bonus clip of this
is included in the audio book versions of the series in 2018), first
"Johnny Adventures" (many more follow in future recordings and lead to
Cabel T-B's first full length original song "Johnny Adventure" in "Still
Room for More" in 1989 and another version was recorded in "Going Down
the Toilet" in 1992 under the same song title), first saying of "Ah Fuck!"
(becoming a trademark of Dino later on), first mention of "Cheeko's Bar"
(later to become legendary, having an entire Cabel T-B album dedicated
to it, and even a song named after it appearing in the albums "Cheeko's
Bar 1987-1997" and "Double Deca volume 1"), first appearance of "Cheeko"
(eventually becoming a permanent resident of the radio station), first
recording of the "Fatrolls song" (many more versions would follow in later
recordings), and first time Dino say's "Cerch Jobe?" when he sees
Jobe unexpectedly (this may sound insignificant, but throughout the years
and many more recordings Dino would use this as his personal greeting for
Jobe and does it EXACTLY the same way every time!). The broadcast
begins, much like the last one ends, with Fred in charge, telling you about
"the line up". Then Dino enters you into "Perversion Hour" with calls
from Ray, a commercial for tampons, and Dino's famous disclaimer "if
you are under 17 you're not suppose to be listening to Perversion Hour,
you're not old enough" (ironic, since Dino is only 14 years old at
the time; the saying is also used in "Double Deca"). During perversion
hour, the recording equipment begins to experience problems which speeds
up the sound of the broadcast. Later on, Fred, Shep, Wolfman, and
Cerch Jobe join in the fun and there is no end in sight. Cerch Jobe
makes his debut appearance in Cabel T-B with his first "Warm-up drill"
("Exercise Until You Die") and Cabel T-B will never be the same!
Unfortunately, as the first half of the recording ends, Fred begins to
sing to everyone about his adventures in Columbia, South America only to
be erased from the recording for unknown reasons. It is assumed that
Fred later was embarrassed or wanted to protect his connections and it
is also said that Dino wanted to protect Fred from incriminating himself
permanently on a recording of this broadcast (or perhaps a combination
of all these things), but the truth may never be known since no recording
of this part of the broadcast has survived to be heard today (*a character
in the book "Human Dinosaurs: PART ONE The Tales of Mitch" makes direct
reference to this and is upset for obvious reasons in Chapter 15 "The Showdown
with Bulldog"). As the second half begins, Dino is forced
to do a "top ten" in electrical difficulties which brings the whole concept
into a new level of comedy as all the songs are playing at supernatural
speeds (AH FUCK!). The broadcast ends with the historic introduction
of "Cheeko", which Fred says is his friend from Mississippi. Being
totally drunk, as usual, Cheeko wrecks the studio (and repeats history
by doing it again 16 years later during the "Double Deca" broadcast).
*Also, a copy of "Electrical Difficulties" on cassette tape is exchanged
between two characters of the book "Human Dinosaurs: PART ONE The Tales
of Mitch" and there is even artwork
in the book showing this exchange from Chapter 13 "Bitch Bites
Bitch". A whopping nine clips from this recording are included in
the audio book versions produced in 2018; the most of any recording used
in the book series.
Overall, this recording was WAY
ahead of its time. The overall production, performance, and material
quality of this recording would not be matched for years to come.
Having the mixture of old styles and newer styles, with the naturally complementing
performances of the new characters with original characters, it is a surprising
treat to the ears! This would become one of Dino's all time favorites
as well as an evolutionary turning point that no single recording can come
close to equaling for many years to come. This recording is a fitting
end to the first ten recordings, dubbed "Deca 1", and the ultimate kick
start to the historic year 1987 (which would have the record breaking production
of 9 1/2 Cabel T-B recordings; counting "New Year's Bash" as only half
a recording for 1987 and half for 1986). The recording of this broadcast
would become the most heard and widely distributed of any Cabel T-B recording
in the 80s'. It would also be the tie that would bind the soon to
be formed "Cabel T-B brothers" (Live Lee,
Dynomite Dino, Dirty Devin, and Radical Ray) who were destine to bring
the radio station out of the studio and "on location". The
first broadcast with the "Cabel T-B brothers" would be only five days later
at "Evergreen Jr. High" on 2-20-87 becoming part of the longest "consecutive"
series in Cabel T-B history ("On Location 1-4"). *The events of
the day before, on 2-19-87, are recorded in an entire chapter of the book
"Human Dinosaurs: PART ONE The Tales of Mitch" which makes direct reference
to the plans of this first Cabel T-B on location broadcast in Chapter 14
"Cheeko's Bar". Also, All of these things occurred because
of the "Electrical Difficulties" recording, making it one of the single
most important recordings in Cabel T-B history!!!
