This Week's
​"DEEP DIVE"

HEROES
This Saturday, we're celebrating National Hero Day.
We'll recognize the heroes all around us -
whether they're our fictional Superheroes
​or the person next door who goes the extra mile.

HUNGRY - To recognize our food delivery heroes, Mark opened the show with an alternate version of the Raiders' 1966 hit, Hungry. See if you can hear the differences - there are a lot of them. Mark plays bari sax on both versions, but it's more evident on the alternate, with its double intro.

​We all learned in 2020 how important essential workers like truck drivers and retail clerks were to putting food on our tables. Here's a shot of some Florida Publix truck driver American Heroes leading the way to a barrier island severely impacted by Hurricane Ian, just after a bridge was repaired this week, delivering food to a very grateful group of people.

​SUPERHEROES - Mark devoted the third set to Superman (with a little aside to Jimmy Olsen being a bit jealous in regards to Lois Lane), and the fourth set covered Mighty Mouse, The Hulk, and Batman. As Mark mentioned, the Traits' garage-y Hulk tribute was sold only via Marvel Comics ads. 

And of course, Mark had to include a mention of the Raiders' appearance on Batman, where they played at a political rally for The Penguin, on an episode called "Hizzoner The Penguin." Here's a clip:

EVERYDAY HEROES - Mark included songs about the "average Joe" hero in Sets 5 and 6. Sometimes a simple thing is heroic, and actually isn't simple at all. Something as simple as being there for a friend can make all the difference in the world. Mark's YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND doesn't fit the Underground Garage format, but it definitely fits the theme for today.

HEALTHCARE HEROES - Mark included the story of The Raiders' Dr Fine in the last set, and closed the show with Angels of Mercy, one of his favorite arrangements for the group.
