Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR Pre-show.

I'm Billy Rutley, along with Shannon the Dude. It is Thursday, April 17th.

You give us call the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line. That's 859-280-2287.

Texas at 502-26566. And as always, the KSR pre-show is brought to you by Italax, Fine Italian Dining,

right here in Lexington, Kentucky, who announced they're extending their partnership with the KSR pre-show.

So a big thank you to Atalix and everything that they've done for the show.

I am ready to go for the KSR pre-show because I just found the best picture of Gene Mitchell I could find on the internet,

and I just posted it online.

So that means we're ready to go.

Shannon is in Louisville.

Good morning, Shannon.

I hope that people know who you're talking about.

I guess if you missed KSR yesterday, you didn't hear the Gene Mitchell conversation about the Panama City Beach lounge singer, who is a local legend, Gene Mitchell. And we always catch them every time I go down there. And we were talking about, you know, when we brought Ryan and yoga girl out to dinner one night, I said, you got to go see this guy, Gene Mitchell. I mean, the guy

is amazing. And I've said it sarcastically. He's good, you know, but he's not like,

he's not like I put him over as being. But we get there and Ryan goes up and he decides that

he's going to try to prank me and pull Gene Mitchell over and tell him that

I'm his biggest fan. Turns out the joke was on Ryan because Gene Mitchell took a liking to Ryan.

It would not stop talking to Ryan and talk this ear off for the rest of the night.

And at that point forward, like when he had to go back up there and do a set, he would look over

at Ryan and give him a little nod, a little wink.

Like, I feel like every song from that point forward that night was dedicated to Ryan Lemon,

specifically. It was like he was having his own little personal private concert.
