Is it true that, up until now, Paul Derringer has resisted covering the legendary Roy Orbison simply because Paul has trouble saying Orbison's first name?  Is it also true that Jeremy Lublin of Jeremy & The Harlequins from Brooklyn, New York, forced Paul's hand by requesting to be paired with Orbison for this episode? Listen in and find out as Paul makes his midnight confession out loud for all to hear!

In this episode, Laura, Alton, Dave, and Paul (a.k.a. Team Derringer) utilize Spotify to conduct a witty, fast-paced, fact-based, snippet-filled countdown of Roy Orbison's All-Time Top Five songs.  Along the way, members of Team Derringer invoke the mysterious Derringer Handbook whenever it suits their needs, even though Laura Derringer questions the Handbook's very existence.

Next, citing their personal favorites and culminating with the #1 choice by the Turnip Tillers (i.e., special Derringer Discoveries listeners) as featured on the Turnip Music Radio Top 25 playlist, Team Derringer reveals the Top Five songs by Jeremy & The Harlequins. For each song revealed, front man Jeremy Lublin (a.k.a. Jeremy Fury) offers exclusive insight into each song's lyrics and background.

If you are a fan of Jeremy & The Harlequins, you will gain new appreciation for their songcraft and hypnotic delivery. If you have not yet heard of them, we predict that you will fall in love with their infectious songs. The time to grab on is now as they are about to embark on their next tour, starting September 2022.

Hitmaker Dean Friedman joins Team Derringer for a rollicking retrospective of his musical journey and body of work. They sift through songs laced with a few spicy words and engage in conversations that might not suit a younger audience. It's not quite "cover your grandma's ears" stuff, but it's definitely not for the kindergarten crowd. Think of this episode as "PG-13"—a little bit naughty, but all in the spirit of fun. Team Derringer's squeaky-clean reputation? Well, it's taking a tiny holiday!

In this episode, Team Derringer features At the Starlight, a South Florida-based indie rock quartet with members hailing from Cuba, Israel, Puerto Rico, and the state of Montana! The band At the Starlight derived their name from a song lyric by another group, which goes, "Throwing rocks at the starlight." The guitarist, Dari, was fond of the phrase and proposed it to the other band members—Anabel, Jino, and Jeremy—who agreed on it through a vote. Born from a chance online encounter, the band has grown and evolved to include some of the simplicity and polish associated with pop-rock while maintaining ties to folk influences from its roots.
