Brooks Young is here with us live in 153 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,240 studio. And by the way, to go back to that what you were 154 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,279 talking about the song being in that documentary. So I'm fascinated by this. 155 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,599 So you had no idea there was a little surprise. I had no clue. 156 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,480 I probably would never have known. I didn't follow NASCAR. Yeah, 157 00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:07,160 I would know, like once I get like a you know, say, 158 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,799 like a royalty statement or something like that, right, you know, alert 159 00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:15,240 me. But supposedly this is gonna be a good one though, So I'm 160 00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:18,240 waiting for it. Yeah. Yeah. Usually I get paid on things like 161 00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:22,559 that like six months to a year because it's so it's a big, a 162 00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:25,559 big thing. It's not like just streams or something like that. Right, 163 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,759 It's a little bit different that end of the business. Yeah, yeah, 164 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:33,119 no doubt. Yeah. So tell us again about so you you were how 165 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,880 many dates did you do with George thorowgood, because that's that's what you were 166 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,400 about to do. Yeah, the last time that you were on the show, 167 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:44,079 I think it was like thirteen or fourteen dates and it was a blast. 168 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,279 We went to uh, Pennsylvania, which was great, and I really 169 00:18:48,319 --> 00:18:52,119 loved that it was called it was the Palace Theater in Pennsylvania. Yeah, 170 00:18:52,160 --> 00:19:02,119 and really cool things. It was interesting for me to be out of my 171 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:07,640 home area. Yea. And a funny story is is I felt more support 172 00:19:08,039 --> 00:19:14,000 and more welcomed in states and venues that I have never been in my whole 173 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,960 life compared to I do at home, no kidding. Yeah, it's very 174 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,880 interesting. Like so I arrived at Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania at the theater and there's 175 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:29,119 these two guys outside like the backstage door, and like they knew who I 176 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,680 was. They like want to take pictures and sign stuff, like I've never 177 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,880 been there in my whole life. Yeah, and you know, and then 178 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,519 that was like at every venue. And then we went down to we were 179 00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:42,319 in North Carolina, I think by the NASCAR Hall of Fame. We played 180 00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:48,680 a gorgeous venue there and after the show, I go out the back door 181 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,200 and there's I don't know ten twelve people out there with signs and wanting to 182 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:59,000 meet me and sign stuff and take pictures and I have a fun picture of 183 00:19:59,079 --> 00:20:02,799 Blackball. Yeah, and it was just it was really nice and it was 184 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,279 just it really reassured me that Okay, you know, this is this is 185 00:20:07,319 --> 00:20:11,880 great. And then we were in Lexington, Kentucky at the Lexington Opera House 186 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,319 and the same thing. There After the show, I walked out and there 187 00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:18,880 were all kinds of people like that came up like out of nowhere and just 188 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,559 they were like, hey, you know, we take a picture, say 189 00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:27,039 hello, and so it was. It was really nice and everyone was very 190 00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:32,400 welcoming and yeah. So I would go up on stage and I would play 191 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,680 a whole set acoustic solo, open up for George, and then the last 192 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,799 song of the night, I would go up on stage with my electric guitar 193 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,720 with George throw get in the Destroyers. Nice. Yeah, it was great. 194 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,160 And I remember it was the first night when we were in Pennsylvania and 195 00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:52,200 George was like hey, like like for you to come up and play with 196 00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:56,960 us, and yeah, and and then I hear it over the radio because 197 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,200 we all have radio. It's big production, you know, yeah, yeah, 198 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,759 of course, yeah know, tractor trailer truck, tour buses and everything 199 00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:07,039 and Yip Brooks's guitar ready for you know, play with George. And we 200 00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:11,119 had great guitar tech and h called Rev and he was a great guy and 201 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,200 took care of me and my guitars and and and it was a blast. 202 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:21,000 And I remember that first night in Pennsylvania being on stage or George Thoroughgood and 203 00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:25,279 the guys, and was it kind of surreal? Like, yeah, it 204 00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:32,839 really was. And because so George was at Hampton Beach Casino not too long 205 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,160 before I went on tour, I wasn't part of that part of the tour, 206 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,039 and but he invited me and I went there, and uh, it 207 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,799 was It was very interesting because I'm watching it and I'm like, oh, 208 00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:45,599 I'm about to be on this boy, you know, I'm about to go 209 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,200 do this, And that was a different angle for me. And but he 210 00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:52,960 was great in the in the whole crew, they were just so welcoming and 211 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,839 took great care of me. And let me tell you, I still have 212 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:02,559 nightmares of pushing a hotel cart down hallway. Yeah, there's a lot of 213 00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:07,799 stuff. You're you're more not on stage than on stage, right right. 214 00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:11,920 Yeah. I saw so many hotels. I could tell you which hotels to 215 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,000 go to, which ones not to go to. Yeah. It was just 216 00:22:17,079 --> 00:22:19,480 really interesting and it was the first time I've ever done laundry at a hotel. 217 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,880 Really. Yeah. One of the shows, yeah, I don't remember 218 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,759 where where it was but yeah, I had no clouds. I was by 219 00:22:27,839 --> 00:22:32,400 myself in the hotel. I'm like, well, you know, it's very 220 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,200 lonely, Like a lot of it is very lonely. Yeah, that's what 221 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,559 people say. Yeah, like I was. I was in Florida for days 222 00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:44,720 because there was the tour kicked off and we did like two maybe three shows 223 00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:48,400 and then there was like a week off. Oh wow. And I went 224 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,240 to my friend Charlie's house in Oakalla, Florida, and stayed with him and 225 00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:56,400 his wife for a few days. Yeah. And that's where I got to 226 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,599 hang out and meet Patrick Swayze's wife, Lisa sway Oh yeah, Yeah, 227 00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:04,039 that was great and got to see a lot of horses and go around for 228 00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:08,039 a few days. But it was nice to see him because he lives up 229 00:23:08,079 --> 00:23:11,640 here, so it kind of was a little bit of home while I was 230 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:17,279 down there. Yeah, and you know, I would you know, FaceTime 231 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,240 you know with my girlfriend here and there and yeah, you know, and 232 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,519 and do that, and it was nice. She came out to Kentucky for 233 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,440 a couple of the shows down there, and we got to go around and 234 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:32,319 see stuff. So yeah, yeah, well how many was it thirteen total? 235 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,960 Thirteen? Yeah, or something like that. Yeah, and I think 236 00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:38,359 all the dates and stuff. If you go to my website you can see 237 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,240 all the venues. Yeah. Yeah, it was just a blast and I 238 00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:47,559 got to kind of get to know George a bit more every night and hang 239 00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:52,160 out in the dressing room and just talk music, guitars life and had you 240 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,119 toured with him before? I didn't tour with him, but I did open 241 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,599 for him a few times on separate occasions. Okay, Okayah, I was 242 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,400 familiar with George, but I didn't get to spend much time with him on 243 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,799 that year. So but you know on this tour, you know, we 244 00:24:07,799 --> 00:24:12,240 were hanging out all the time. Yeah. Yeah, and George was George 245 00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:18,319 is the only other person who's played this guitar. That's awesome. Yeah. 246 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,279 I told him the story and I took it out and I got a great 247 00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:23,559 picture of George playing it, and uh yeah, yeah, he loved it. 248 00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:27,559 He's a Gibson guy, so Gibson. So yeah, it was I 249 00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:32,839 had a blast. And you know, just to go out there and have 250 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,480 the crew and everybody just really take care of you and you walk out on 251 00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:40,839 the stage, you know, and just the cheering and there's actually a live 252 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,559 album on my Spotify it's Brooks Young's Live and it's the whole acoustic set wow, 253 00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:51,119 from those shows I did with George and there are different songs from different 254 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,880 venues that were taken and they were all recorded professionally right from the board and 255 00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:00,240 so and you can hear the audience and yeah, I didn't miss you by 256 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,119 the Rolling Stone, oh no kidding. Yeah, And I got the whole 257 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,720 crowd to sing, you know, theo oh. Very cool and you know 258 00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:10,359 to hear you know, that's four to six thousand people do that, you 259 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,599 know, and we might have to play that at the end of the segment. 260 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:17,160 It's great. Yeah, yeah, and uh it's on Spotify. Yeah, 261 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,559 yeah, it's on Spotify. I'll find it and we'll play it. 262 00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:23,119 Yeah, because I'm really curious now. Very cool. Yeah, So you 263 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,640 know, now I'm back home in New Hampshire and uh, I'm kind of 264 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,880 itching to get back into the recording studio maybe do something. Yeah. I've 265 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,640 been doing a few like solo things where I go out and play at a 266 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,680 few places, which is really different. When I first came back from on 267 00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:41,160 tour and I was doing that, it was a really weird feeling for me 268 00:25:41,279 --> 00:25:48,079 really why, I guess I don't know. This might sound weird, but 269 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,680 I had to set my own ship up. Oh I'm sorry, sorry, 270 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,200 that's all right, We're we're on a delay. I caught it. I 271 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,680 had to, you know, set all my own stuff up, and so 272 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,000 I just got used to, you know, and then like the audience, 273 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,839 you know, like people when you're on stage at a show like that and 274 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:15,240 the people are there listening, compared to say, you go play whatever restaurant 275 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,400 or whatever, you're more like wallpaper kind of music. And when I first 276 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,000 got back, it was like a really strange feeling about that. Usually you 277 00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:26,880 kind of finish the song. People were like, you know, you know, 278 00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:32,839 and there's no you know, plates and silverware when you're on stage clicking 279 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:38,240 in your ear. But so it took me a little while to like, 280 00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:42,599 okay, we're back home. Now here we go. And but next week 281 00:26:42,599 --> 00:26:49,000 we're about to announce a big show for people who are listening. I really 282 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:55,319 can't say too much about it yet, but there's a theater in New Hampshire. 283 00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:59,960 It will be a New Hampshire show and I, myself and the guy 284 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,920 in the band will be headlining this beautiful venue. Cool if you, yeah, 285 00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:07,039 stay posted. I think it's next Wednesday gets announced. The next Friday 286 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:14,880 tickets go on sale, and so we'll be doing that. My longtime my 287 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,759 best buddy Jeff Larroy who plays keys in the band and him and organ, 288 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,440 he's probably listening right now. Cool, and so we're really excited. He 289 00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:30,480 just went out and he purchased an old him and organ and had all refurbished, 290 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,920 like the whole thing. Yeah, and we played a couple of shows 291 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,440 with it, and it's just so cool to have, Okay, and so 292 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,799 we're going to bring it to this show and yeah, and I'm really looking 293 00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:42,319 forward to it. And a fun thing too about the show coming up. 294 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,960 So I started a band playing music when I was much younger, you know, 295 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,440 I was sixteen or so, but like in middle school, high school. 296 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,400 My buddy Jonathan and Josh I got a guitar once for Christmas and I 297 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,920 was like, hey, guys, get some instruments, we'll start a band. 298 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,359 Yeah. We drove Jonathan's mother crazy. We had a little tiny room 299 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,960 upstairs in the house and the drum set imagine like a room like a quarter 300 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,880 of the size of this and you had three of our drum set. I 301 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:17,440 had like a Martin electric guitar, a little like Yama, I don't know, 302 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,480 maybe ten amp or it didn't even cut through the drums. I was 303 00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:25,200 just up there. But we started a band and the bass player was a 304 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,359 great friend of mine, lived down the street, Josh, And Uh, 305 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:33,680 he's actually moved back here, and so he's gonna be coming back into the 306 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,359 fold of playing some shows nice and he'll be doing that with us, and 307 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,160 so I'm really excited about that. Oh, very cool. So yeah, 308 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,039 it's a weird moment, like everything comes full circle. Like I haven't seen 309 00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:47,079 him since we were kids. Yeah, to see him as a grown adult, 310 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:52,680 that'll be surreal. I was sticking that the other day and yeah, 311 00:28:52,759 --> 00:28:56,240 So it's it's been a lot of fun. The tour was a lot of 312 00:28:56,279 --> 00:29:00,759 fun. Back home now thinking about doing some playing, Uh, doing some 313 00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:03,720 recording. I'd like to record up at Mojo Studio up in the White Mountains, 314 00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:07,559 Yeah, the beautiful place. Yeah. And did a lot of work 315 00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:12,599 with them. I did my last blues album with them, and that track 316 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,720 Restless that we heard, was that recorded there. No, that was not 317 00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:21,079 recorded there. So I've kind of I've really been taking a lot of time 318 00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:26,200 learning the other end of the music industry, the whole streaming and how things 319 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,599 are released now. So those were tracks that we actually recorded a few years 320 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:36,920 years ago, Oh okay, yeah, and released as an EP before the 321 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,960 whole everyone was releasing singles. Yeah, you know, kind of lost in 322 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,160 the shuffle. You imagine how many albums are out there now that people just 323 00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:48,400 didn't hear or weren't you know, because it wasn't marketed. How things are 324 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,000 marketed now, there's a whole Spotify algorithm and recent things single well, yeah, 325 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,440 things have kind of inverted too, because you know, growing up, 326 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,240 it was you know, bands would release or soul artists or room ever would 327 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,640 release an album, and you know, the single would usually come out, 328 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,240 the first single would come out before the album. It would go to raw 329 00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:07,799 before the album. Then the album comes out, then you get the follow 330 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,160 up singles, whereas now it's so many of the guests that we have on 331 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,039 the show there they talk about their strategy is to just release singles and then 332 00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:21,440 eventually those singles become either an EP or an album. Yeah, so it's 333 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,519 just kind of flipped on it said, Yeah, so I've been listening to 334 00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:26,640 like a lot of audio books about it, reading a lot of things, 335 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,000 and like, for instance, Restless just came out, I don't know, 336 00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:34,039 a few weeks ago. I think it has almost twelve thousand streams on it. 337 00:30:34,039 --> 00:30:37,960 It had, yeah, it had like ten thousand or so like the 338 00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:41,079 first couple of days that was released. And usually when you released like an 339 00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:45,079 album, you're lucky if you get that on something, right, So it 340 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,599 just brought more attention to those songs. Yeah, And you know, the 341 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,359 more I think about it, I'm like, geez, I have a bunch 342 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,000 of albums, you know that, right, It just kind of you know, 343 00:30:53,119 --> 00:30:56,440 toss something in here and there. You know, that really did well 344 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,200 when we released it, but just didn't have that on it, yeah, 345 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:06,960 because it was released within an album. Right. So Jeff and I the 346 00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:11,200 keyboard player, we've been talking about that. So we're itching to record a 347 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,720 little bit and we might go up to Mojo Studio.

It was really bad. Was some type of I don't 385 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:09,800 know if it was a flu type thing or some long COVID thing or whatever, 386 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:14,159 but yeah, you know, I was I was talking to a doctor 387 00:36:14,199 --> 00:36:16,079 every week almost I would, you know, do the web whatever on the 388 00:36:16,079 --> 00:36:20,679 phone. Oh yeah, and you know I was taking all the things they 389 00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:23,280 gave me and and nothing didn't help. Oh my god, I just now 390 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:28,360 can sing, like I just recently, like a couple of days ago, 391 00:36:29,119 --> 00:36:31,480 Like I did a few shows because I had to. When I first came 392 00:36:31,519 --> 00:36:35,199 home, I had something lined up. I forget what. Yeah, I 393 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,599 was like, oh jeez, I just barely could get through some of the 394 00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:42,880 things that I did. Wow, But I finally have like the energy back, 395 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,880 like I felt like just drained and uh and being on the road like 396 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,679 that, it takes a lot out of you. Oh yeah, yeah, 397 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:55,599 yeah, it short does. And uh I got really sick and luckily I 398 00:36:55,639 --> 00:37:00,159 was home for a while. And were those last couple of shows hard to 399 00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:07,519 get through? Yeah, the last the last two were. And you know, 400 00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:10,920 I was drinking throat coat tea, like, I mean a lot of 401 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,440 it before i'd go on. And I had to be careful because once you're 402 00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:15,719 up there, you know, there's no excuse me, I gotta go to 403 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,480 the bathroom. You know you're up there, and you either hold it and 404 00:37:20,519 --> 00:37:23,079 you know, you got four thousand people are more staring at you. Yeah, 405 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,480 and you know, so I had to be really cautious with that, 406 00:37:27,599 --> 00:37:31,960 and just I was taking some other medicine and stuff, yeah, towards again. 407 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,599 You know you could hear it in my voice really yeah. Yeah. 408 00:37:35,679 --> 00:37:37,119 And then during the day, you know, when I was you know, 409 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,199 off on the shows, you know, I drink a lot of you know 410 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:45,440 tea as well, throat coat tea, yeah and all that. Yeah, 411 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:52,119 it was. It was great. But when I came home it got worse. 412 00:37:52,159 --> 00:37:55,559 Like this, it actually worse. Wow, yeah, no idea what 413 00:37:55,559 --> 00:38:00,719 it was not a clue. I I did like the COVID test or whatever. 414 00:38:00,199 --> 00:38:07,840 It was negative and it was like a nasally like I had a really 415 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:12,960 bad sinus infection. Oh bad bad. Those can last a long time. 416 00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:15,280 Oh, let me tell you a lot. Yeah, I mean it was 417 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,719 months. Yeah. I was on all of the stuff the doctor gave me, 418 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,719 take this and that, and finally like all right, it's better, 419 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,519 Like I'm feeling good. And then like two or three days would go by 420 00:38:24,639 --> 00:38:29,039 and it'd be back really and I couldn't I couldn't sing, I didn't have 421 00:38:29,079 --> 00:38:31,440 the energy. I was just worn out. Yeah. Yeah, and uh, 422 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:37,599 just the other night at home in the kitchen. I surprised myself when 423 00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:42,000 I took my guitar out and started playing and singing. And I haven't done 424 00:38:42,039 --> 00:38:45,559 that for a while. Oh wow. I just didn't have it in me, 425 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,639 you know. And you know, usually when I'm at home, like 426 00:38:47,679 --> 00:38:52,079 I'd like to pick up and strum here and there or maybe work on something. 427 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:58,960 And I just didn't have the energy. It wasn't that I didn't want 428 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,480 to. Yeah, I didn't have the energy to. And I just got 429 00:39:01,559 --> 00:39:07,119 a great guitar. Just got an endorsement deal with PRS Guitars. Oh congratulations. 430 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:12,280 Yes. So my friend Tomo Fajita and Boston, he taught John Mayer 431 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,440 how to play okay, And so him and John Mayer are like very close 432 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:22,199 friends. And Tomo saw one of the videos of me playing with George and 433 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:27,639 stuff, and I always liked PRS guitars. John Mayer has a model out 434 00:39:27,679 --> 00:39:32,159 now called the Silver Sky Gorgeous guitar, and they just came out with a 435 00:39:32,199 --> 00:39:39,280 new one Pienna blue. It's an old nineteen eighties Porsche paint color. Oh 436 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:45,039 no kidding, yeah, oh wow. And so they said they looked at 437 00:39:45,079 --> 00:39:49,599 my stuff and Tomo sent it to him and the artist relations guy got back 438 00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:51,480 to me. He said, yeah, we'd love to have you part of 439 00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:55,760 PRS. Very cool. And yeah, he's like what color would you want? 440 00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:00,800 You know? And I my h girlfriend and I we just got a 441 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:06,280 sphinx cat, a hairless cat. Her name is Rose. Well, they 442 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,639 had a PRS and a rose like color. It was like a winish rose. 443 00:40:09,679 --> 00:40:13,280 It was called Midnight Rose. And I was like, oh, that 444 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,519 would be cool, and she's like, yeah, you should get that one. 445 00:40:15,159 --> 00:40:19,199 And they had one at the factory and they found like it had like 446 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,840 a slight defect and like, we don't want you to have this. We're 447 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,320 gonna give you this new one that's just barely out. That one. Wow. 448 00:40:25,519 --> 00:40:28,960 So yeah, like a few days later, a week later, it 449 00:40:29,039 --> 00:40:31,960 showed up on the doorstep and yeah, So I can't wait to go on 450 00:40:32,039 --> 00:40:37,320 stage and play it, no doubt. So the guitar matches the cat. 451 00:40:37,199 --> 00:40:44,079 No so so our cat Rose. She's deaf, she's a sphinx and she's 452 00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:49,880 like she's six months old. But she loves when I played guitar really like, 453 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,119 yeah, so when I took the guitar route the other day, I 454 00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:54,000 was just telling you, she comes up and she sits on my lap and 455 00:40:54,039 --> 00:41:00,920 she's like, paw, I have great video of it. And cat people. 456 00:41:01,159 --> 00:41:04,400 Yeah, yeah, we have two cats. We love them. Yeah, 457 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,639 So it's very interest because she's deaf, but sometimes I think maybe she's 458 00:41:07,639 --> 00:41:13,639 not deaft, so it's probably probably feels the vibrations. Yeah, the vibrations, 459 00:41:13,679 --> 00:41:15,800 and she loves it. So it's really hard for me sometimes to practice, 460 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,159 yeah, because if I'm there sitting, she wants to be part of 461 00:41:20,159 --> 00:41:24,119 it. She's like, yeah, exactly, So get her a little mini 462 00:41:24,119 --> 00:41:28,159 guitar I know, right, Yeah, probably play your own guitar while you 463 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,440 playing. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, she loves this guitar. And 464 00:41:32,599 --> 00:41:36,519 so yeah, so I got sick. I finally got over it, and 465 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,039 you know, I got my voice back a bit, and uh, which 466 00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:45,000 is great. So I'm just really looking forward to getting together with my bandmates 467 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,760 and doing some shows. We've got a couple of stuff, a couple of 468 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,480 things lined up with the full group, and it's just great to play with 469 00:41:51,519 --> 00:41:53,079 my friends. And yeah, you know, it comes to point where you 470 00:41:53,119 --> 00:41:57,400 know, you're playing with the people that you've known for years and it's kind 471 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,719 of like just friends getting together. Yeah, So I really love that and 472 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,760 and and Jeff Leroy. Uh if I keep bringing up the keys player. 473 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,199 Him and I have been together playing for I think about eighteen years now, 474 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:16,800 wow, and we were much better looking back then. He would come over 475 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:22,000 to the house, I remember, and uh and uh. We were just 476 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,280 play music together and read stuff and then we're like, hey, we get 477 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:30,320 the band going and then boom we get a phone call. Hey, bb 478 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:31,840 King would like you to open up for him. Yeah, you know, 479 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,199 and we we weren't really ready for anything like that, you know. Yeah, 480 00:42:36,199 --> 00:42:37,840 I remember you told that story last time you're here, and yeah, 481 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:42,719 that's that's wild. And and that right there, doing that like open the 482 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,840 doors for so much. Yeah, and so you never know, Yeah, 483 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:51,039 that's true. You really don't. You never know. That's true. Well, 484 00:42:51,079 --> 00:42:55,280 so much of it is being being ready for those opportunities when they're when 485 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,440 they arrived, because yeah, you might you might not think you're ready for 486 00:42:59,559 --> 00:43:01,519 something. Yeah, and you might really not be ready for something, But 487 00:43:01,559 --> 00:43:05,719 when opportunity knocks, you got to open the door, whether you're ready or 488 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,320 not, yeah, and seize that opportunity. So I always have gone by 489 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:15,280 this quote I heard from it is it Richard Branson, who owned Virgin Mobile 490 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:21,719 and they yeah. Yeah. He he always said to apply for a job 491 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,480 where if someone asks you for a job that's way above your head that you 492 00:43:23,519 --> 00:43:27,960 can't do, never say no, right, always say yes, then figure 493 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,000 it out right right. Yeah. Yeah, So I've always kind of went 494 00:43:31,079 --> 00:43:36,960 by that. Yeah. And because we were in no shape or form to 495 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:38,920 you know, go play with me, we didn't even I don't even think 496 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:43,440 we played a bar at that point in our career or whatever. Yeah, 497 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,199 but you know, and then we started doing more things with him, and 498 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:50,719 then you know, and you just you never know, just say yes and 499 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,199 do it. Yeah. Yeah, so yeah, I had a similar the 500 00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:59,760 first band I was I played. I'd been in bands in high school and 501 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,880 stuff, but the first band ever played in that actually went out and played 502 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:07,519 shows was a band called the Jinx. And Jenny's heard me play like that 503 00:44:07,679 --> 00:44:12,800 song Insomnia that I've played on the show that's the Jinks yet. And when 504 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,480 that band was starting up, the two guys who are kind of the nucleus 505 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,360 of the band, they'd already recorded a bunch of stuff, but it never 506 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,119 played out with it, and they knew that I played bass, and they 507 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:28,559 were offered a show at un h at a dorm party at un H and 508 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,840 wanted me to play bass for it. And I remember Troy, the guitar 509 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:36,480 player, leaving me a voicemail and telling me that it was going to be 510 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,360 in like two weeks, and he's like, I know, you're very busy, 511 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:43,920 and we're very busy, and everyone's schedules are very busy, so we're 512 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,320 not going to have much time to practice at all. But what do you 513 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:52,639 think? And I remember thinking, and I hadn't even picked up my bass 514 00:44:52,639 --> 00:44:57,000 in a really long time, because I'm very I'm kind of ashamed of this, 515 00:44:57,159 --> 00:45:00,280 but I'm a very practical person in the sense that if i'd I don't 516 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:05,400 have a reason to play, I don't play. So I and and you 517 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,400 know, if you're a musician, you should always play, whether they have 518 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,519 a reason or not. But I don't. But anyway, so I hadn't 519 00:45:09,559 --> 00:45:12,639 picked up my base in a long time, so I'm thinking, oh, 520 00:45:12,679 --> 00:45:15,639 this is nuts. And the shows in like two weeks and we're gonna have 521 00:45:15,639 --> 00:45:19,719 barely any time to practice, and uh, you know, I haven't played 522 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,199 in a while anyway, so I'm rusty. So so I had convinced myself 523 00:45:22,199 --> 00:45:25,920 it was a terrible idea and then I called him. But the other thing 524 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,800 is, I'm also I don't like to disappoint somebody. So and Troy is 525 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:31,920 such a great guy, and if you ever meet him, you know, 526 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,920 he's one of these people you just he's so nice. He's such a nice 527 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,400 guy that you you don't want to disappoint him. So I'd said, all 528 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,280 right, I'm gonna I'm gonna call him. I'm just gonna tell him, 529 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,280 dude, I don't think this is gonna work. And I call him and 530 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,960 just almost as though I wasn't even in control of what I was doing, 531 00:45:47,039 --> 00:45:50,679 just out of my mouth comes, yeah, that sounds great, let's do 532 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:57,679 it. But we weren't ready, and we were probably terrible, but we 533 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,559 played anyway. We did the show and great, you know, we got 534 00:46:00,559 --> 00:46:05,360 a great reaction and and that, and from that, a whole lot of 535 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:09,400 other things happened from me being in that band. I might not be doing 536 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,639 this radio show today had I not been in that band, because you know, 537 00:46:13,679 --> 00:46:15,440 it's one of those things you go back and you think about it and 538 00:46:15,519 --> 00:46:19,760 you realize all the things that flowed from that one moment of me saying yes 539 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,039 to something that I was sure I wasn't ready for that. They weren't ready 540 00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:25,599 for that was a crazy idea and we were all going to be humiliated and 541 00:46:25,599 --> 00:46:28,960 embarrassed. I was so sure of it, but I said yes anyway, 542 00:46:29,199 --> 00:46:32,679 and all kinds of stuff came from it. So, yeah, that's great. 543 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:37,440 That's a good story. Yeah, yeah, it's It's something I remind 544 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,960 myself when i'm you know, when i'm thinking, when I'm feeling like, 545 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,000 oh, I have this I want to do that I want to do, 546 00:46:43,079 --> 00:46:45,920 but I probably can't. You know, I'm going to fail out it if 547 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,719 I even attempt and then I think about that to that that story with the 548 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:54,119 jinst But yeah, so good, good advice for people listening totally. So 549 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:59,000 yeah, you never know, like just give it a shot and say yes 550 00:46:59,039 --> 00:47:02,000 sometimes yeah yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. It's safer to say no, 551 00:47:02,159 --> 00:47:05,920 but then you might regret it later, you know. Yeah. The worst 552 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,800 thing is, you know, thinking back and wondering, I really wanted to 553 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,280 do that, but I don't know, I talk myself out of it. 554 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:15,039 What if I had done it? You know? Yeah, I could say 555 00:47:15,039 --> 00:47:17,760 the same thing about like going on that tour, Like I was asked to 556 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,320 do it and there was a small part of me. I was like, 557 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,639 yeah, you're gonna be away from home for a while, you know. 558 00:47:27,079 --> 00:47:31,480 And I it was a lot because I was far. I was a long 559 00:47:31,519 --> 00:47:36,320 ways away. Yeah, Like I was far. Yeah, and there was 560 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,920 no like just come home you know. Once I was gone, right right, 561 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:44,000 and you know, I did get a little homesick, you know. 562 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:52,280 And you know, my girlfriend Kendrick, you know, she's a huge part 563 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,480 of my life and like to be away and not you know, And that 564 00:47:55,639 --> 00:48:01,039 was a real big moment for me because you know, of being gone. 565 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:05,119 Yeah, and I had to I had I was able to look forward to 566 00:48:05,159 --> 00:48:08,480 her coming out to some of the shows, ye know. And but that 567 00:48:08,559 --> 00:48:12,280 was the first time like I was like just kind of by myself. Like 568 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,239 my tour manager he came out with me, and he was there for a 569 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:20,519 majority of the tour. Yeah, and helped with things and thank god, 570 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,800 you know. But uh, towards the end of the tour, the last 571 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,880 few shows, I was kind of on my own. Yeah. And yeah, 572 00:48:28,119 --> 00:48:30,840 Georgia, I love Georgia.

Yeah, and that was a really great venue there and a 576 00:48:43,679 --> 00:48:47,400 funny thing and funny story I went into when I'm downtime, you know, 577 00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:52,000 this was this was my first like larger tour.

I went in there, and so why I was watching There 583 00:49:12,039 --> 00:49:15,320 was a guitar center across the street. You know, I'm like, well, 584 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,360 you know, go to the guitar store.

They came across and 590 00:49:36,599 --> 00:49:38,559 they saw one of the clips of George and I playing together when I sit 591 00:49:38,639 --> 00:49:45,159 in Nice and I needed a guitar stand because mine disappeared at the last venue, 592 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:46,920 so I went in there and grabbed it and they were like, no, 593 00:49:47,079 --> 00:49:51,960 you're all set, thank you for coming in here. And and then 594 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,079 I walked back out to go to the laundrymat and some guy came up to 595 00:49:55,119 --> 00:49:59,159 me and he's like, hey, do you mind taking a selfie with me? 596 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:00,960 I didn't want to ask you in the store, would you mind you 597 00:50:01,039 --> 00:50:05,559 like knocked on the window.

There's a lot of great people 607 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:46,760 up here. I find the venues are a bit different up here, like 608 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:52,440 the programming of what goes on at venues is definitely different, and we're very 609 00:50:52,519 --> 00:50:55,840 lucky in New Hampshire here we have some gorgeous venues. Oh yeah, yeah, 610 00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:01,440 absolutely, yeah, and so you know I love that. But yeah, 611 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,920 I'm feeling better now and I'm good.

What should people know about where to find you online? 620 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,559 Where they should go to keep up with everything that you're doing. Well, 621 00:51:38,599 --> 00:51:43,360 if people even visit websites anymore, you can go to Brooks Young dot 622 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:49,760 com, Yes, Instagram, uh at Brooks Young under Brooks Underscore Young, 623 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:54,320 Underscore music and it's me with this guitar here the little blue check mark. 624 00:51:54,480 --> 00:52:00,000 So yeah, that is a beautiful guitar.

I did have someone decide that they were going 627 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:13,000 to be me on Instagram and they got like a Brooks Young fan account and 628 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,400 they were messaging people. And this was like a couple of months ago. 629 00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:20,440 Oh wow, And finally it was. It took an act of God to 630 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,519 get Instagram to remove the account, and let me tell you, it was 631 00:52:23,559 --> 00:52:28,679 not easy really. Yeah. The only the only way that they will remove 632 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:34,039 something is if the account is asking for money from oh okaunt remember that. 633 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,159 Yeah, And that was the only way, and they did. They messaged 634 00:52:37,159 --> 00:52:42,360 a friend and they asked for five hundred euro or something like that. Yeah, 635 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,599 they were able to screenshot and save it and I sent it to Instagram 636 00:52:45,679 --> 00:52:47,719 and they finally removed it. But that happens a lot on Facebook too, 637 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,920 Like I'm sure it's having all of us. You know, you get a 638 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,239 message from somebody that you're already friends with, Yeah, like and there and 639 00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:58,199 they're they're speaking to you in a tone via via Facebook that's different than what 640 00:52:58,199 --> 00:53:00,159 you're used to, and it's like, I don't think you're the person I 641 00:53:00,199 --> 00:53:02,400 know.
