Those of us who work tirelessly in music naturally feel great satisfaction when our years of struggle finally pay off with the recognition we so richly deserve.

And so it is with pride that I announce my cover of a Sinatra classic, (Jerry Lewis) Fly Me To The Moon, has cracked the Mevio Music Alley All-Time Comedy Top 10.

Thanks, Steve!

Other than myself, for my spastic vocal performance, I must thank Steve Wheatley of the almost-daily Dalecast for this fantastic honor. I’m now on the chart with a bunch of other stupid songs, more than one of whose titles include references to “boobs.”

Steve has played Fly Me To The Moon a total of 38 times, originally on Dalecast 158 in February 2008 and most recently last January on Dalecast 681.

Dalecast recently achieved a milestone of its own as well with Episode 700, for which I contributed a Jerry-inspired bumper.

“I find your show very moving,” I tell Steve before switching to my Jerry persona. “Because it makes me wanna plotz!“

In turn, Steve has acknowledged my contribution to his success. As of December 2009, almost 1,500 visitors selected the valuable links on turetzkysyndrome.com back to dalecast.co.uk, making this site Dalecast’s No. 2 outside referrer. Whatever that means.

Cheeky bugger!

I recommend not only Steve’s music show, but also his MySpace blog, where he delivers the news from Freaky Frosterley in a profane Northern England brogue.

Here’s a recent example from Dalecast 666 that I believe contained some sort of coded message to me:

Btw Kenneth, we will drop ya some tatties off when we have been to ASDA today… Maris Piper or King Edwards?? lol Cheeky Bugger!!! Will set the Freaks from Frosterley on ya mind!!

Steve also administers the streaming radio channel RealRadio1, featuring a lineup that now includes another UK podcast pal of mine, Dave Lee’s Bugcast.

But enough about all that. Episode 1,000 now looms on the horizon and we can’t spend the day on a history lesson. As Steve says on his blog (Dalecast 685):

Rightyo, time to pack me bucket and spade and a few egg n cress butties and off to the coast! Toodle Pip!!

Happy No. 700!  (0:23).

The one and only sound of Mr. Ken Turetzky  (4:59).

   By happy coincidence, Steve updates his all-important referrer stats on of the Dalecast blog.

   My site has referred 2,652 visitors to Dalecast, and leads all referrers for the month of March!

   “No doubt Ken T’s head is swellin lol,” Steve writes.

   Why am I so interested in these dry details? I don’t know!
