 “Howdy Folks! I’m Fuster Buskins” is a hilarious mountain music album from Fuster Buskins. Fuster is surely an entertainer, alternating his live performances between banjo-led hillbilly country songs and elaborate stories about his kinfolk and the seemingly few non-family members he has run across in the back country. His songs and stories are all very campy and over the top, but Fuster is a great character who keeps his bits fresh and hilarious, drawing from the classic country comedy style of the Grand Ole Opry. “Howdy Folks!” is comprised of live recordings and full of audience laughter and interaction, but it is of such quality that the listener doesn’t miss a single joke. “Kiss ‘N’ Kussins” is a song about Fuster falling in love with his hillbilly first cousin and includes the hysterical chorus “Kiss ‘n’ kussins/That’s all we’ll ever be/Kiss ‘n’ kussins/My own kin rejects me.” “The Song That Solves All the Problems of the World” gives Fuster’s unique utopian vision of the world, as well as his fix-all: “We got to eat more possum.” “Howdy Folks! I’m Fuster Buskins” is a hilarious album, an instant comedy classic that stays true to its comedy roots while simultaneously offering something fresh, unique, and entertaining. Fans of the Grand Ole Opry and campy hillbilly comedy should definitely give Fuster a try. -Chris & the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team Check out Fuster Buskins's music on RadioIndy.com with link to purchase and links to popular sites |

Since I've got be in my mid-fifties now, I thought I'd go see ol' Doc Beanly who is the town doctor in Klufford's Hollar and ask him his advice on gettin' old since he is a pretty old feller his self. One thing I asked him was what his advice would be about what kind of underbritches i should wear as I get older. 'Should I wear boxer shorts or should I wear briefs' I asked him. Ol' Doc Beanly just said 'Depends...' |

Rev. Ebert R. Smelts of the Thornthistle Catholic Church recently persuaded Rev. Elmer T. Higgenbothem of the Klufford's Hollar Town Hall Baptist Church that he should put a confessional booth in his church. So Rev. Elmer T. went ahead and built a confessional booth right up in the front of the church along side the church platform. A couple weeks after he'd done this, ol' Ezry Suggs come stumblin' into the church one Monday mornin' after a night of moonshine drinkin'. Rev. Elmer T. watched Ezry as he stumbled up the church isle, knocking into pew after pew as he made his way to the confessional booth and went in. Rev. Elmer T. then went in to the other side of the confessional booth and waited on Ezry to commense confessin'. After a long while with Ezry sayin' nothin' at all, Rev. Elmer T. finally said "Ezry, is there anything I could help ya with"? Ezry says, "I dunno. Ya got any toilet paper on yer side"? |

Rev. Elmer T. Higgenbothem, our preacher at the Klufford's Hollar Town Hall Baptist Church, meets every Saturday mornin' at Harlan Crumpton's Cowbarn Restaurant in Klufford's Hollar along with Rev. Klem Bob Wellcott of the Muckwaller Methodist Church and Father Ebert R. Smelts of the Thornthistle Catholic Church to have breakfast and discuss somethin' called theology. Last Saturday mornin' as they had breakfast and discussed theology, Rev. Wellcott said he believed God was somethin' like a construction engineer. He said you could tell that by the way he made the human body with it's skeletal system and it's muscular structure. Then Rev. Smelts said, "No. I think God is more like an electrical engineer and you can tell that in the way he made the human body blood vessels and nevous system wiring. Then Rev. Higgenbothem said, "No. I believe God is more like a civil engineer." Then both Rev. Wellcott and Rev. Smelts asked him how he figured that. Rev. Elmer T. said "Well, like with the human body, who else but a civil engineer would run a waste disposal pipeline right through the middle of a very popular recreation area?" |
