Q: Hi Cousin Bruce!
I'm a new subscriber, and I just can't get enough of your show. Out of all the choices on SIRIUS Satellite Radio, I say that '60s Vibrations is the best. I have a question for you. I don't know who sang it, but it's a song that I haven't heard in many years. Its about a girl walking in the woods and finds a "half frozen snake." She takes it home to nurse it back to health, but the snake was not very appreciative, to say the least! I hope this is one you and Cleo can track down for me.

A: Case Solved! Our trusty staff and blound hound Cleo found this one. The song is "The Snake" by Al Wilson. Thanks for your question Cuz! Detective Brucie, Trace of Lost Records, is always on the case...
Love,
Cousin Brucie
Q: Hi Brucie!
It is so good to hear you on SIRIUS. I remember trying to listen to you on my portable radio here in Scranton, PA. It's a pleasure to hear you crystal clear on SIRIUS, especially when I'm having dinner and through the evening hours. Is there any way I can get a copy of your theme song by the Four Seasons? Keep up the good work and keep Rockin'!

A: Cousin Paul,
You can find my theme song on the Four Seasons' Anthology, which should be available just about anywhere these days. Enjoy!

Cousins,
It was hard to believe that we have recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the loss of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. As most of you know (I hope) we traveled to Clear Lake, Iowa to host the stage shows at the Surf Ballroom and to broadcast our Cousin Brucie Saturday Night Party Show. There were thousands of people in attendance to pay their respects to the memories of our three stars and to help celebrate the continuing, and I must say amazing, growth of Rock and Roll. Everybody from Chris Montez, Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs, Brian Hyland, the amazing Wanda Jackson, Graham Nash, Los Lobos, Peter & Gordon and many more entertained an absolutely mesmerized Surf Ballroom audience for hours and hours. If you were listening to our live broadcast you heard most of these performers on the show. It was an amazing event and one that Brian and I will always cherish and remember. Please check out the photographs that we took during the broadcast and especially look for the photograph of the crash site that is located about five miles outside of Clear Lake in a farm field. I was personally disappointed that a proper memorial stone was not erected to recognize the sad event. Hundreds of visitors pay their respects to the site every year. However. look at the photo and let me know what you think about the lack of something substantial at the site.
I hope that you are enjoying our shows and please tell a friend. Mean whilst, my Cousins, keep the volume nice and loud and the windows open.
Love,
CB |

Hey Cuz,
Ron Reed from Moab, Utah. I just don't do this sort of thing, but I had to write you. I have so much to say, I know from listening to you that you receive a ton of e-mail. I grew up in Southern California and never heard of you. I guess the west coast never carried your broadcasts. I've been a subscriber of XM for years, and thank God for the XM/SIRIUS merger because I found your show. It was so cool tonight to have a caller from Holland. Wow! You are delivering goodwill and comfort to many in some troubling times. You are reaching many people, of many generations, in such positive ways. God bless you. You truly are the "keeper." Thank you ambassador Cuz Brucie! Last comment and an observation: I listen to you while I'm in my garage working on my Jeep CJ-7 rebuild project. Over the past couple of months of listening, I have been stunned by the young callers calling in. There are so many grade school-age kids and teenagers calling in for requests -- and they know what they want to hear! It's not just mom or dad making them call in. They know the music and love it. This may be a comment on what their generation is producing for them to listen to. But, I think it's the quality of the ‘50s and ‘60s that lives on and is apparently timeless across generations. How cool! Keep the flame burning? My young kids are even starting to sing some of these songs that dad is playing in the garage.
Ron Reed
Hi "Cuz",
It was great finding you on "50's on 5" on XM radio through my Direct TV. You
were right from the beginning; "you can pick your friends, but not your
relatives", though I don't hear you reminding us of that today. It's
gratifying to see, err, hear my "Cousin Brucie" is still around entertaining me
after all these years. I listened to you on WABC in the 60's when I was going
to school in New York, and did Palisades Park with you as well.
I'm now living in Southern California, happily married, and the grandfather of
twelve wonderful kids scattered around the Country. Oh, I'm also the
Great-grandfather of a beautiful girl (Brooklyn) in Texas.
I wish you continued happiness, health, and prosperity in the New Year, and all
time to come. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Ron Gross
Chief Petty Officer
U.S. Navy (Retired)
