Well, I can’t say you convinced me that ol’ Cal was into kink - but you did completely wow me by featuring Bix on your podcast. I was obsessed with his music and life story at one point (enough so to go to Davenport for a Bix festival!) and still love his music. 🎶 🎺 👍🏼

It's BY-dər-bek, not BEE-der-bek. Or so says Wikipedia, and so says the old joke about someone who thought the dude's name was Big Spider Beck.

Also, "Yngwie" is pronounced ING-vay.

"Yngwie Malmsteen" is one of those names that is fun to say, just like "Engelbert Humperdinck." Sadly, Mr. Malmsteen has no sense of humor about it whatsoever.

Thank you! Also, it’s “yah-hoo”, not “yeah-hoo”.

Bix was a bad dude.

I had a student one time that thought I was saying Big Spider Beck which is objectively a better name.

I almost pulled a Hindenberg in my work vehicle the way you annunciated "hydrogen dong."
