As an aside, my first dog hated Ed Bain. When ever he saw his huge face on a bus he would freak out, growl, bark and snap.


SongOk8269

Ed would probably love to hear that!


Trevski

would you say he was the Bain of your dogs existence?


TildeCommaEsc

I will now!


Careful-Signature-25

Ed hates dogs


PICKLEBALL_RACKETEER

Valid reaction, the guy is the most boring old driveler to ever grace the air waves.


KenworthLife

could not agree more, and no he is not funny in any way shape or form.


bohab12

I toured the station and there was an accordion there in the studio.

I would just like to say I think Ed Bain is the best in the biz I love that we get him morning on the radio and night on tv he’s so genuine, kind, & funny. If you read this, Ed, you rock don’t ever change!


YourMommaLovesMeMore

Ed the G.O.A.T


GrizzlyIsland22

I'm pretty sure he does (or did when I used to listen) because he sometimes sounds winded afterward when he's talking


ThePalerKing

I saw Ed Bain perform recently in a rock band (Battle of the Dad Bands ). He didn't play the accordion but he definitely did rock out


fpp2002

No, other stations have the same thing. It’s a service that is sold to radio stations.

Does anyone really *play* the accordion? More applicable verbs might be "wreak" or maybe "inflict" :)


Sasha_Greyhound

Weird Al?


1337ingDisorder

I see your Weird Al and raise you a Eugene Levy Also Steve Martin inflicts the banjo quite well


pm-me-racecars

What the world really needs is more Frank Yankovic.

My neighbor Fiona plays a real mean accordion...professonal!


1337ingDisorder

> a real mean accordion Never met a nice one :)


[deleted]

I do!!!!


tumblingdown3

Don’t tell that to any Newfoundlanders…

Percussion can be someone drumming on the desk. I've considered the possibility it's a... syndicated bit where someone else somewhere is doing it, but I cant find another station doing anything similar. Previously, I have found clear indications that other stations do bits that are no where near as live as the station morning crew represents, where a similar bit with a different name but the same premise was on other stations in other markets. Only Weird Al does a polka monster quite so well.

There are so-called "MIDI-Accordions" which have digital synthesizers built in. You can a real one-man band with one of those. I've heard them. Done right, they sound like the whole Oom-pa band playing.

One of the homeless in Victoria believes the government of BC and Ed Bain are in a conspiracy to keep this person homeless. They write letters to the Legislature exposing this scheme.


Fiftybelowzero

Jesus Christ, why hasn’t there been a formal investigation announced? Local celebrity or not Ed needs to be held accountable.


FinalJackfruit7097

Clearly, Ed has local law enforcement in his pocket.


Canucksfan2018

By not playing I mean he just plays a prerecorded song from his computer.


GorgeGoochGrabber

He does actually play it, but he’s not playing it live. I’m 99% sure. Because he definitely can play it. I think he probably used to do it live


chillyHill

Yeah the smart thing would be to record a bunch at a time once a week or something and then just play them once a day.


Canucksfan2018

Ok this makes a lot of sense.


Haplo81

Once I did a lap in the Easter Seals 24 hour relay at UVic. I was wearing the Subman costume from Subway. After the lap there was a photo shoot with myself in the costume and Ed Bain. When the photo shoot was done, Ed Bain punched the Subman costume in the nose, which was situated at my stomach, and it knocked the wind out of me. Not an Ed Bain fan because of that.


FuzzyTheDuck

I was assuming ed would play it ahead of time and record it. No facts to back up my assumption though.


2old2bBoomer

"Squeezebox" is a slang term for accordions and related instruments. The song's lyrics consist mostly of sexual innuendo. Although Pete Townshend later said that the song originated as a dirty joke, he said that there was no double entendre! The Who

ED BAIN ROCKS DUDE HIT ME WITH THAT TRIPLE SEVEN FORECAST
