Brook's youngest here with us 58 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,240 live in studio. And by the way, to go back to that what 59 00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:31,519 you were talking about the song being in that documentary. So I'm fascinated by 60 00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:34,199 this. So you had no idea. That was a total surprise. I 61 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:39,000 had no clue. I probably would never have known. I didn't follow NASCAR. 62 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,040 Yeah, I would know, like once I get like a you know, 63 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,360 say, like a royalty statement or something like that, right, you 64 00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:49,240 know, alert me. But supposedly this is gonna be a good one though, 65 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,000 So I'm waiting for it. Yeah. Yeah, usually I get paid 66 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,759 on things like that, like six months to a year because it's so it's 67 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,519 a big, big thing. It's not like just streams or something like that, 68 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,600 right, It's a little bit different that end of the business. Yeah, 69 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,360 yeah, no doubt. Yeah. So tell us again about so you 70 00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:09,879 were how many dates did you do with George Thoroughgood, because that's that's what 71 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,360 you were about to do. Yeah, the last time that you were on 72 00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:16,519 the show, I think it was like thirteen or fourteen dates. And it 73 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:23,160 was a blast. We went to Pennsylvania, which was great, and I 74 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,399 really loved that it was called it was the Palace Theater in Pennsylvania, Yeah, 75 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:35,319 and really cool things. It was interesting for me to be out of 76 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:42,279 my home area. Yeah. And a funny story is is I felt more 77 00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:46,959 support and more welcomed in states and venues that I have never been in my 78 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,759 whole life compared to I do at home, No kidding. Yeah, it's 79 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,439 very interesting. Like, so I arrived at Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania at the theater 80 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,120 and there's these two guys outside like the backstage door, and like they knew 81 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,720 who I was. They like want to take pictures and sign stuff like I've 82 00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:10,000 never been there in my whole life. Yeah, and you know, and 83 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,639 then that was like at every venue. And then we went down to we 84 00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:16,279 were in North Carolina, I think by the NASCAR Hall of Fame. We 85 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,680 played a gorgeous venue there and after the show, I go out the back 86 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:28,279 door and there's I don't know ten twelve people out there with signs and wanting 87 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,800 to meet me and sign stuff and take pictures. And I have a fun 88 00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:35,800 picture of that call yeah, and it was just it was really nice and 89 00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:41,439 it was just it really reassured me that Okay, you know this is this 90 00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:46,839 is great. And then we were in Lexington, Kentucky at the Lexington Opera 91 00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:49,040 House and the same thing there. I after the show, I walked out 92 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,759 and there were all kinds of people like that came up like out of nowhere 93 00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:56,560 and just they were like, hey, you know, we take a picture, 94 00:07:56,639 --> 00:08:01,839 say helloah, and so it was it was really nice and uh everyone 95 00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:05,959 was very welcoming and uh yeah. So I would go up on stage and 96 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,240 I would play a whole set acoustic solo, open up for George, and 97 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,199 then the last song of the night, I would go up on stage with 98 00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:18,639 my electric guitar with George Throw and the Destroyers nice. Yeah, it was 99 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,079 great. And uh, I remember it was the first night when we were 100 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,199 in Pennsylvania and George was like, hey, I like like for you to 101 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,240 come up and play with us, and yeah, and and then I hear 102 00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:33,000 it over the radio because we all have radio. It's big production, you 103 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,799 know, yeah, yeah, of course, you know, tractor trailer truck, 104 00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:39,080 tour buses and everything. And Kip Brooks is guitar ready for you know, 105 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,200 play with George, and we had great guitar tech and uh called rev 106 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,159 and uh he was a great guy and took care of me and my guitars 107 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,279 and and and it was a blast. And I remember that first night in 108 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,720 Pennsylvania being on stage with George and was it kind of surreal, like wow, 109 00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:05,159 I can't yea. And because so George was at Hampton Beach Casino not 110 00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:09,039 too long before I went on tour. I wasn't part of that part of 111 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,840 the tour and but he invited me and I went there, and uh, 112 00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:16,120 it was It was very interesting because I'm watching it and I'm like, oh, 113 00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:18,759 I'm about to be on this boy, you know, I'm about to 114 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:22,480 go do this and that was a different angle for me. And but he 115 00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:26,279 was great in the in the whole crew, they were just so welcoming and 116 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,159 took great care of me. And let me tell you, I still have 117 00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:35,840 nightmares of pushing a hotel cart down hallway. Yeah, there's a lot of 118 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,080 stuff. You're you're more not on stage than on stage, right right. 119 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:46,200 Yeah. I saw so many hotels. I could tell you which hotels to 120 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:50,320 go to, which ones not to go to. Yeah. It was just 121 00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:54,399 really interesting. And it was the first time I've ever done laundry at a 122 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,200 hotel really. Yeah. One of the shows, Yeah, I don't remember 123 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,440 where where it was, but yeah, I had no clo I was just 124 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,639 I was by myself in the hotel. I'm like, well, you know, 125 00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:09,080 very lonely, Like a lot of it is very lonely. Yeah, 126 00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:13,120 that's what people say. Yeah, like I was. I was in Florida 127 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,240 for days because there was this tour kicked off and we did like two maybe 128 00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:22,840 three shows, and then there was like a week off and I went to 129 00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:26,759 my friend Charlie's house in Oakalla, Florida, and stayed with him and his 130 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:31,039 wife for a few days. And and that's where I got to hang out 131 00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:35,519 and meet Patrick Swayzee's wife, Lisa Sways. Oh yeah, that was great, 132 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,639 and got to see a lot of horses and go around for a few 133 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,679 days. But it was nice to see him because he lives up here, 134 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,480 so it kind of was a little bit of home while I was down there. 135 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,960 And you know, I would you know, FaceTime, you know, 136 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,639 with my girlfriend here and there, and yeah, you know, and and 137 00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:00,039 do that, and it was nice.

So yeah, yeah, well how many was it thirteen total? 140 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,279 Thirteen? Yeah or something like that. Yeah, and uh, I think 141 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,639 all the dates and stuff. If you go to my website you can see 142 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,440 all the venues. Yeah. Yeah, it was just a blast, and 143 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,120 I got to kind of get to know George a bit more every night and 144 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,720 hang out in the dressing room and just talk music, guitars, life and 145 00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:28,799 had you toured with him before?

Okay o, Yeah, 147 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,720 so I was familiar with George, but I didn't get to spend much 148 00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:41,759 time with him on that year though, but you know, on this tour, 149 00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:45,200 you know, we were hanging out all the time.

I've been doing a few like solo 171 00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:09,279 things where I go out and play at a few places, which is really 172 00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:13,080 different. When I first came back from on tour and I was doing that, 173 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:20,039 it was a really weird feeling for me. Really why, I guess, 174 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,960 I don't know. This might sound weird, but I had to set 175 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,279 my own stuff. Oh I'm sorry, sorry, that's sorry, We're we're 176 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:31,240 on a delay. I caught it. I had to, you know, 177 00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:35,879 set all my own stuff up. And uh so I just got used to, 178 00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:39,279 you know, and then like the audience, you know, like people 179 00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:43,879 when you're on stage at a show like that and the people are there listening 180 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,639 compared to say, you go play whatever restaurant or whatever, you're more like 181 00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:54,200 wallpaper kind of music, right right. And when I first got back, 182 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,879 it was like a really strange feeling about that. Usually you kind of finished 183 00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:01,879 the song, people were like, you know, yeah, and there's no 184 00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:07,759 you know, plates and silverware when you're on stage click him in your ear. 185 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,720 But so it took me a little while to like, Okay, we're 186 00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:18,679 back home. Now here we go. And but next week we're about to 187 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:24,279 announce a big show for people who are listening. I really can't say too 188 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,879 much about it yet, but there's a theater in New Hampshire. It will 189 00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:35,000 be a New Hampshire show and I myself and the guys in the band will 190 00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:39,320 be headlining this beautiful venue. Cool if you yeah, stay posted. I 191 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,519 think it's next Wednesday, gets announced the next Friday tickets go on sale, 192 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:50,120 and so we'll be doing that. My longtime, my best buddy Jeff le 193 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,840 Roy, who plays keys in the band in Him and Oregon, he's probably 194 00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:58,120 listening right now. Cool, and so we're really excited. He just went 195 00:14:58,159 --> 00:15:03,759 out and he uh purchased an old him and organ and had all refurbished, 196 00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:07,440 like the whole thing, and we played a couple of shows with it, 197 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,720 and it's just so cool to have and so we're gonna bring it to this 198 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,159 show. And yeah, and I'm really looking forward to it and a fun 199 00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:20,159 thing too about the show coming up. So I started a band playing music 200 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,720 when I was much younger, you know, I was sixteen or so, 201 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,039 but like in middle school, high school. My buddy Jonathan and Josh I 202 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,440 got a guitar once for Christmas, and I was like, hey, guys, 203 00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:35,879 get some instruments, we'll start a band. Yeah. We drove Jonathan's 204 00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:39,799 mother crazy. We had a little tiny room upstairs in the house and the 205 00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:43,000 drum set imagine like a room like a quarter of the size of this, 206 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:48,360 and you had three of our drum sets. I had like a Martin electric 207 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,480 guitar, a little like Yamaha, I don't know, maybe ten amp or 208 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,799 it didn't even cut through the drums. I was just up there. But 209 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,600 we started a band and the bass player was a great friend of mine lived 210 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,399 down the street, Josh, And uh, he's actually moved back here and 211 00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:10,159 so he's gonna be coming back into the fold of playing some shows nice and 212 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,399 he'll be doing that with us, and so I'm really excited about that. 213 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,799 Oh, very cool. So yeah, it's a weird moment, like everything 214 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,759 comes full circle, like I haven't seen him since we were kids. Yeah, 215 00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:22,440 to see him as a grown adult, that'll be surreal. I was 216 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:29,360 thinking that the other day and uh yeah, so it's it's been a lot 217 00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:32,559 of fun. The tour was a lot of fun. Back home now thinking 218 00:16:32,559 --> 00:16:36,639 about doing some playing, uh, doing some recording. I'd like to record 219 00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:40,320 up at Mojo Studio up in the White Mountains, yeah, the beautiful place. 220 00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:42,799 Yeah, and did a lot of work with them. I did my 221 00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:48,879 last blues album with them, And that track, that track Restless that we 222 00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:51,879 heard, was that recorded there? No, that was not recorded there. 223 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,480 So I've kind of I've really been taking a lot of time learning the other 224 00:16:56,679 --> 00:17:00,639 end of the music industry, the whole streaming and how things are released now. 225 00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:06,279 Yeah. So those were tracks that we actually recorded a few years years 226 00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:11,599 ago. Oh okay, yeah, and released as an EP before the whole 227 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,400 everyone was releasing singles. Yeah, you know, kind of lost in the 228 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,200 shuffle. You imagine how many albums are out there now that people just didn't 229 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,119 hear or weren't you know, because it wasn't marketed. How things are marketed 230 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,039 now, there's a whole Spotify algorithm and releasing things as singles. Well, 231 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,759 yeah, things have kind of inverted too, because you know, growing up 232 00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:33,480 it was you know, bands would release, or soul artists or whomever would 233 00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:37,920 release an album, and and you know, the single would usually come out, 234 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,240 the first single would come out before the album. It would go to 235 00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:41,839 raw before the album. Then the album comes out, then you get the 236 00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:45,279 follow up singles, whereas now it's so many of the guests that we have 237 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,799 on the show there there's they talk about their strategy is to just release singles 238 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:55,200 and then eventually those singles become either an EP or an album. Yeah, 239 00:17:55,279 --> 00:17:57,079 so it's it's just kind of flipped on it said. Yeah, so I've 240 00:17:57,079 --> 00:18:00,359 been listening to like a lot of audio books about it, reading a lot 241 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,920 of things, and like, for instance, Restless just came out, I 242 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,519 don't know, a few weeks ago. I think it has almost twelve thousand 243 00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:11,880 streams on it. It had like ten thousand or so like the first couple 244 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,759 of days that was released. And usually when you released like an album, 245 00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:19,559 you're lucky if you get that on something. So it just brought more attention 246 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,599 to those songs. Yeah, and you know, the more I think about 247 00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,559 it, I'm like, geez, I have a bunch of albums you know 248 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,839 that it just kind of you know, toss something in here and there. 249 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,759 You know that really did well when we released it, but just didn't have 250 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,279 that spotlight on it, yeah, because it was released within an album. 251 00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:42,039 Right. So Jeff and I the keyboard player, we've been talking about that. 252 00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:47,079 So we're itching to record a little bit and we might go up to 253 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,759 Mojo's studio. We were thinking about. There's another new location down in darry 254 00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:59,400 there's a recording studio down there, so we'll see. Yeah, what we 255 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,839 do. I gotta work on I've been writing a lot doing that and uh, 256 00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:07,400 just kind of living life a little bit.

Beautiful Brooks Young is here with us live in studio. So in 271 00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:25,279 the short term, so you're thinking about recording some more, Yeah, you 272 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,359 talked about that. And then, uh, do you have long term plans 273 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:33,000 for another another tour? Like, uh, do you have anybody you're obviously 274 00:22:33,079 --> 00:22:36,839 you can't if if you've got something in the pipeline, I'm sure you can't 275 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,480 reveal it, but I'm just curious if you if you do have anything in 276 00:22:38,519 --> 00:22:42,200 terms of uh, oh, there'll definitely be some more stuff with George Yeah 277 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,440 good good, Yeah.

I uh really just been focusing on doing some writing and just kind 279 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,200 of being home and playing some stuff around here at the moment. And yeah, 280 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,119 I uh, I got really sick when I was on tour. Oh 281 00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:03,519 no, yeah, yeah, and then the whole crew and everyone did too, 282 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:08,160 like the last two shows and I just, I mean just recently, 283 00:23:08,319 --> 00:23:12,200 like got better. I was sick for months. Oh my god, it 284 00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:17,200 was, it was, it was really bad. Was some type of I 285 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,920 don't know if it was a flu type thing or some long COVID thing or 286 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,680 whatever, but yeah, you know I was I was talking to a doctor 287 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,599 every week almost I would, you know, do the web whatever on the 288 00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:33,200 phone. Oh yeah. And you know I was taking all the things they 289 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,480 gave me, and and nothing didn't help. Oh my god. I just 290 00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:41,880 now can sing, like I just recently, like a couple of days ago, 291 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,799 like I did a few shows because I had to. When I first 292 00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:48,640 came home, I had something lined up. I forget what. Yeah, 293 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,000 I was like, oh jeez, I just barely could get through some of 294 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,079 the things that I did. Wow, But I finally have like the energy 295 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,400 back, like I felt like just drained and and being on the road like 296 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,200 that, it takes a lot out of you. Oh yeah, yeah, 297 00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:10,119 yeah, it shut does. And I got really sick, and luckily I 298 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,680 was home for a while. And were those last couple of shows hard to 299 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:21,039 get through? Yeah, the last the last two were and you know, 300 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,880 I was drinking throat coat tea, like I mean a lot of it before 301 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,319 I'd go on, and I had to be careful because once you're up there, 302 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,880 you know, there's no excuse me, I gotta go to the bathroom, 303 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,000 you know. Yeah, you're up there and you either hold it and 304 00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:37,640 you know, you got four thousand people are more staring at you. Yeah, 305 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,960 and you know, so I had to be really cautious with that, 306 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,920 and just I was taking some other medicine and stuff towards agaend. You know, 307 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,720 you could hear it in my voice really yeah. Yeah. And then 308 00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:52,160 during the day, you know, when I was you know, off on 309 00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:55,680 the shows, you know, I drink a lot of you know tea as 310 00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,000 well, throat coat tea, yeah, and all that, and yeah, 311 00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:04,640 it was it was great. But when I came home it got worse. 312 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:10,240 Like this, It actually worse. Wow, yeah, no idea what it 313 00:25:10,319 --> 00:25:14,240 was not a clue. I I did like the COVID test or whatever. 314 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:21,640 It was negative and it was like a nasally like I had a really bad 315 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,480 sinus infection. Oh bad, bad. Those can last a long time. 316 00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:27,799 Oh, let me tell you a lot. Yeah, I mean it was 317 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,240 months. Yeah, I was on all of the stuff the doctor gave me, 318 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,240 take this and that, and finally like all right, it's better, 319 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,039 Like I'm feeling good, and then like two or three days would go by 320 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,559 and it'd be back really and I couldn't I couldn't sing. I didn't have 321 00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:45,039 the energy. I was just worn out. Yeah. Yeah. And uh, 322 00:25:45,319 --> 00:25:51,119 just the other night at home in the kitchen, I surprised myself when 323 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,519 I took my guitar out and started playing and singing. And I haven't done 324 00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:59,079 that for a while. Oh wow. I just didn't have it in me. 325 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,440 Yeah. And you know, usually when I'm at home, like I'd 326 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,599 like to pick up and strum here and there or maybe work on something. 327 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,640 And I just didn't have the energy. It wasn't that I didn't want to, 328 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,839 Yeah, it just I didn't have the energy too. And I just 329 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,720 got a great guitar, just got an endorsement deal with PRS Guitars. Oh 330 00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:25,519 congratulations. Yes. So my friend Tomo Fajita and Boston, he taught John 331 00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:30,640 Mayer how to play okay, and so him and John Mayer are like very 332 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,599 close friends. And Tomo saw one of the videos of me playing with George 333 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:40,920 and stuff, and I always liked PRS guitars. John Mayer has a model 334 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,559 out now called the Silver Sky Gorgeous guitar, And they just came out with 335 00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:52,440 a new one Pienna blue. It's an old nineteen eighties Porsche paint color. 336 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,400 Oh no kidding, Yeah, oh wow. And so they said they looked 337 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,559 at my stuff and Tomo sent it to him and and the artist relations guy 338 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:03,640 got back to me. He said, yeah, we'd love to have you 339 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,599 part of PRS. Very cool. And yeah, he's like what color would 340 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:15,200 you want? You know? And I my girlfriend and I we just got 341 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,119 a Sphinx cat, a hairless cat. Really, her name is Rose. 342 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,799 Well, they had a PRS and a rose like color. It was like 343 00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:26,440 a winish rose. It was called Midnight Rose. And I was like, 344 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,480 oh, that would be cool, and she's like, yeah, you should 345 00:27:27,519 --> 00:27:32,319 get that one. And they had one at the factory and they found like 346 00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:33,960 it had like a slight defect and like, we don't want you to have 347 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,839 this. We're going to give you this new one that's just barely out that 348 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,799 Porsche one. Wow. So yeah, like a few days later, a 349 00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:45,839 week later, it showed up on the doorstep and yeah, so I can't 350 00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:48,960 wait to go on stage and play it, no doubt. So the guitar 351 00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:56,599 matches the cat No, so so our cat Rose. She's deaf. She's 352 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,880 a sphinx and she's like she's six months old, and but she loves when 353 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,000 I play guitar really like. Yeah, So when I took the guitar out 354 00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:07,559 the other day, I was just telling you, she comes up and she 355 00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:11,680 sits on my lap and she's like, paw, I have great video of 356 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,839 it. And cat people. Yeah, yeah, we have two cats. 357 00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:19,640 We love them. Yeah, So it's very interest because she's deaf, but 358 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:25,559 sometimes I think maybe she's not deaft, so it probably probably feels the vibrations. 359 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,799 Yeah, the vibrations, and she loves it. So it's really hard 360 00:28:27,839 --> 00:28:32,680 for me sometimes to practice, yeah, because if I'm there sitting, she 361 00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:37,000 wants to be part of it. She's like, yeah, I'm playing exactly, 362 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,039 So get her a little mini guitar I know, right, probably playing 363 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,920 yeah yeah, but yeah, she loves this guitar. And so yeah, 364 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,440 so I got sick. I finally got over it, and you know, 365 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,799 I got my voice back a bit and uh, which is great. So 366 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,960 I'm just really looking forward to getting together with my bandmates and doing some show. 367 00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:03,160 We've got a couple of stuff, a couple of things lined up with 368 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,599 the full group, and it's just great to play with my friends. And 369 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,240 yeah, you know, it comes to point where you know, you're playing 370 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,640 with the people that you've known for years and it's kind of like just friends 371 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,279 getting together. Yeah, so I really love that. And and and Jeff 372 00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:18,839 Leroy, if I keep bringing up the keys player, him and I have 373 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:26,119 been together playing for I think about eighteen years now, wow, and we 374 00:29:26,119 --> 00:29:30,960 were much better looking back then. He would come over to the house, 375 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,880 I remember, and and uh, we were just play music together and write 376 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,119 stuff and then we're like, hey, we get the band going, and 377 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,519 then boom, we got a phone call. Hey bb King would like you 378 00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:47,680 to open up for him. Yeah, you know, and we we weren't 379 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,079 really ready for anything like that, you know. Yeah, I remember you 380 00:29:49,359 --> 00:29:52,440 told that story last time you're here, and yeah, that's that's wild. 381 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,160 And that right there, doing that like open the doors for so much. 382 00:29:56,359 --> 00:30:02,599 Yeah, and so you never know, Yeah that's true, you really don't. 383 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,759 You never know? That's true. Well, so much of it is 384 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,200 being being ready for those opportunities when they are when they arise, because yeah, 385 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,039 you might you might not think you're ready for something. Yeah, and 386 00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:17,599 you might really not be ready for something, but when opportunity knocks, you 387 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,160 got to open the door, whether you're ready or not. Yeah, and 388 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,400 sees that opportunity. So I always have gone by this quote I heard from 389 00:30:25,119 --> 00:30:29,240 h is it is it Richard Branson who owned Virgin Mobile and they yeah, 390 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,839 yeah, he he always said to apply for a job, where if someone 391 00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:37,440 asks you for a job that's way above your head that you can't do, 392 00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:41,160 never say no, right, always say yes, then figure it out right 393 00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:45,960 right. Yeah. Yeah, So I've always kind of went by that. 394 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,319 Yeah. Yeah, and uh, because we were in no shape or form 395 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,279 to you know, go play with me. We didn't even I don't even 396 00:30:52,279 --> 00:30:56,960 think we played a bar at that point in our career or whatever. Yeah, 397 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,559 but you know, and then we started doing more things with him, 398 00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:03,079 and then you know, and you just you never know, just say yes 399 00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:08,720 and do it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I had a similar the 400 00:31:10,119 --> 00:31:12,599 first band I was I played I'd been in bands in high school and stuff, 401 00:31:12,599 --> 00:31:15,400 but the first band I ever played in that actually went out and played 402 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:21,039 shows was a band called the Jinx. And Jenny's heard me play like that 403 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,960 song Insomnia that I've played on the show. That's the Jinks yet and that 404 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,480 when that band was starting up, the two guys who are kind of the 405 00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:33,880 nucleus of the band, they'd already recorded a bunch of stuff but it never 406 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,640 played out with it, and they knew that I played bass, and they 407 00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:41,359 were offered a show at un H at a dorm party at un H, 408 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,039 and wanted me to play bass for it. And I remember Troy, the 409 00:31:45,079 --> 00:31:48,880 guitar player, leaving me a voicemail and telling me that it was going to 410 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,519 be in like two weeks, and he's like, I know, you're very 411 00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:56,960 busy, and we're very busy, and everyone's schedules are very busy, so 412 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,200 we're not going to have much time to practice at all, but uh, 413 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:05,559 what do you think? And I remember thinking, and I hadn't even picked 414 00:32:05,599 --> 00:32:08,920 up my bass in a really long time, because I'm I'm very I'm kind 415 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,079 of ashamed of this, but I'm a very practical person in the sense that 416 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,200 if I don't have a reason to play, I don't play. So I 417 00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:20,519 and and you know, if you're a musician, you should always play, 418 00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:22,640 whether they have a reason or not, but I don't. But anyway, 419 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,960 so I hadn't picked up my bass in a long time. So I'm thinking, 420 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,680 oh, this is nuts. And the shows in like two weeks and 421 00:32:28,359 --> 00:32:31,240 we're gonna have barely any time to practice, and uh, you know, 422 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,759 I haven't played in a while anyway, so I'm rusty. So so I 423 00:32:35,759 --> 00:32:38,119 had convinced myself it was a terrible idea, and then I called him. 424 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,680 But the other thing is, I'm also I don't like to disappoint somebody, 425 00:32:42,839 --> 00:32:45,240 so and Troy is such a great guy, and if you ever meet him, 426 00:32:45,279 --> 00:32:47,640 you know he's he's one of these people you just he's so nice. 427 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,079 He's such a nice guy that you you don't want to disappoint him. So 428 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:53,279 I'd said, all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna call him. I'm just 429 00:32:53,319 --> 00:32:55,160 gonna tell him, dude, i don't think this is gonna work. And 430 00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,799 I call him, and just almost as though I wasn't even in control of 431 00:33:00,839 --> 00:33:02,240 what I was doing, just out of my mouth comes, yeah, that 432 00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:08,240 sounds great, let's do it. But we weren't ready, and we were 433 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:13,640 probably terrible, but we played anyway, we did the show and it went 434 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,799 great. You know, we got a great reaction and that and from that, 435 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,319 a whole lot of other things happened From me being in that band. 436 00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:25,000 I might not be doing this radio show today had I not been in that 437 00:33:25,079 --> 00:33:28,440 band, because you know, it's one of those things you go back and 438 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,960 you think about and you realize all the things that flowed from that one moment 439 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:35,640 of me saying yes to something that I was sure I wasn't ready for, 440 00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:38,200 that they weren't ready for. That was a crazy idea and we were all 441 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,440 going to be humiliated and embarrassed. I was so sure of it, but 442 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:45,640 I said yes anyway, and all kinds of stuff came from it. So, 443 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,640 yeah, that's great. That's a good story. Yeah, yeah, 444 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,839 it's something I remind myself when i'm you know, when i'm thinking, when 445 00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:55,119 I'm feeling like, oh, I have this I want to do that I 446 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,880 want to do, but I probably can't, you know, I'm going to 447 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,599 fail out it even attempt, and then I think about that to that that 448 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,680 story with the Jinkst But yeah, so good, good advice for people listening 449 00:34:07,079 --> 00:34:10,000 totally. So yeah, you never know, like, just give it a 450 00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:15,719 shot and say yes. Sometimes yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. It's it's 451 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,280 safer to say no, but then you might regret it later, you know. 452 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,280 Yeah. The worst thing is you know, thinking back and wondering, 453 00:34:21,559 --> 00:34:23,480 I really wanted to do that, but I don't know, I talk myself 454 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,840 out of it. What if I had done it? You know. Yeah, 455 00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:30,920 I could say the same thing about like going on that tour, Like 456 00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:34,440 I was asked to do it, and there was a small part of me 457 00:34:34,519 --> 00:34:37,840 I was like, yeah, you know, gonna be away from home for 458 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:45,159 a while, you know, and I it was a lot because I was 459 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,719 far. I was a long ways away. Yeah, like I was far 460 00:34:47,079 --> 00:34:51,639 yea, And there was no like just come home, you know. Once 461 00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:55,719 I was gone right right, and you know, I did get a little 462 00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:02,119 homesick, you know. And you know, my girlfriend Kendrick, you know, 463 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:07,719 she's a huge part of my life and like to be away and and 464 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:13,039 not you know, And that was a real big moment for me because you 465 00:35:13,079 --> 00:35:16,920 know, of being gone and I had to I had I was able to 466 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,239 look forward to her coming out to some of the shows, you know. 467 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,079 And but that was the first time like I was like just kind of by 468 00:35:24,159 --> 00:35:29,280 myself. Like my tour manager he came out with me, and he was 469 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:34,039 there for a majority of the tour and helped with things and thank god, 470 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,840 you know. But towards the end of the tour, the last few shows, 471 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,039 I was kind of on my own. Yeah, and yeah, Georgia. 472 00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:44,920 I love Georgia.
