met a few months back, okay
at a play in and a place called

23
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,039
Riley's Place in Milford. Okay,
it's kind of right in between our houses.

00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:27,840
First first time I really played with
over there five minutes ago, over

25
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,080

guys played together was in our waiting room.

26
00:02:32,439 --> 00:02:38,719
We did virtual. We traded recordings
that did virtual. Oh wow,

27
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:42,199
so this is like its own world
premiere and of itself. They've never played

28
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,520
live in person together. Wow.
Okay, that's really cool. I'm even

29
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:47,840

a medley of a song I wrote called

39
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,159
One More Step in another song called
Invitation Fountain. It's kind of got my

40
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,840
guitar parts and my lead part,
and then I mixed in some lyrics that

41
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,439
I really liked from someone else.
So, oh okay. And I have

42
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,479

00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,159
Also, I see Tony Petrello is

89
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,960
Tony last night for Retro Spectrum Radio
with Polly C. Alex Whiteley, one

90
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,799
of our friends from the UK.
Uh says, uh, what did Alex

91
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:03,320
say? Howdy folks, nice new
digs enjoying the new studio here. See,

92
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:05,159
I just want to make sure I
didn't miss anybody in here who we

93
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:11,120
didn't say hello to already. Yeah, it looks like we're it looks like

94
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,759
we're caught up there. But uh, so, Gary, how did you

95
00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:18,840
learn to sing? I like your
voice? Are you self taught or did

96
00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:22,960
you take lessons or how did you
kind of a mix of both. I

97
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:28,039
got into up. I started playing
guitar when I was eight, so I

98
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,799
knew a lot about music. I
started young on guitar. Wow, good

99
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,720
for you. Yeah that was my
dad played guitar around the house all the

100
00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:39,840
time. Yeah, yeah, good. He played church services all the time

101
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:43,360
as part of his work, so
I was always hearing guitar playing. Yeah,

102
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,440
but I think I don't know.
When I was like twenty, I

103
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,240
was I was volunteering at the church
and they needed someone to sing. So

104
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,519
I said, well, I guess
I got to learn how to sing.

105
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,679
So I got a recorder like a
digital eight track back then, and recorded

106
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:07,840
myself and just started going to people
who who sang well and would ask them

107
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:11,200
for tips. I never took formal
lessons, but he had a lot of

108
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,039
input from people who I like the
way they sound. Yeah. Yeah,

109
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,080
that's how Daryl Hall started, I
think singing, you said in an interview.

110
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:24,720
His mom took him to church and
he's ended up. That's how he

111
00:14:24,879 --> 00:14:28,759
you know, that's how he started. He also at a young age.

112
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,039
But well, so it sounds like
so guitar started at a young age,

113
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,480
But he started singing when you were
twenties, said, sang a little bit,

114
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,639
but never not. I didn't really
start focusing on it a lot till

115
00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:41,200
later, like after twenty. Yeah. I sang in some bands in high

116
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,120
school and stuff, but it wasn't
very good. I could hit the notes,

117
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,679
but the tone wasn't the greatest.
Sure sure that track that we displayed

118
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,240
to that studio track, I really
liked the guitar work on that. Now,

119
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:56,440
who's doing so you're doing that with
Ryan Bradley, Who's doing what on

120
00:14:56,559 --> 00:15:01,519
guitar? Who's rhythm and who's so
we switch well, so during the first

121
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,919
parts of the song, I'm doing
the vocal. It's a live recording,

122
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,440
right, so he's playing in between
all the vocals, so that's him.

123
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:13,080
And then when we break to that
instrumental part, I used a loop pedal,

124
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,799
and then it was both of us
playing and that that little that riff

125
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,320
that goes like that, that was
me. You can you can hear the

126
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,159
difference in the tone of the guitars. Yeah, it's a little bit thicker

127
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,240
sound I was using. He was
a little thinner. So now tell me,

128
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,039
tell me about the loop pedal.
You do that at your your live

129
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,519
shows where you for for the uninitiated. And I say it that way because

130
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:39,080
a lot of people who listen to
the show are familiar with that, because

131
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,240
a lot of artists use it,
use it live, and Tom, you

132
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,960
use it right, use a loop
pedal live, keeps me keeps me entertained

133
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:50,879
even really, you know, if
I have one part, it gives me

134
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
something to play off of, right
right, especially live. So so with

135
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,799
the loop pedal, so you you
play something and you record it. I've

136
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,000
use a loop pedal. But tell
me if I have this, right for

137
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,960
if I were explaining it to somebody, would this make sense if I say,

138
00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:10,600
so, you've got you record you
doing something into the loop pedal and

139
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:14,159
then it and then it plays that
whatever you did over and over. So

140
00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:18,399
then you can add to what it's
playing, and you can even add to

141
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,799
the loop itself or an ad and
take away. So Okay, you make

142
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,960
a mistake, you can go back, and you can't keep undoing, right

143
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,879
right. Hopefully you don't have too
many to undo, but you can,

144
00:16:30,559 --> 00:16:33,759
and it allows you to kind of
build the song. Yeah, I mean

145
00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:37,600
all loop stations are different in how
they work, but yeah, it has

146
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:41,240
to do with it playing a lot
with your own timing too, you know.

147
00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:45,200
So some people might use the loop
where they're making the loops at home

148
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,679
and they're pressing a button and playing
to the loop. Yeah, like Gary

149
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,440
and I probably would, or most
of the time you might also play the

150
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,279
loop live as well. Yeah,
if I'm solo, I use a loop

151
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,559
pedal, and I like to use
it with Ryan because he said to talented

152
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,599
guitar player, and we like we'll
play off each other. We both have

153
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,079
played guitar many, many years,
so those are kind of unique duo events.

154
00:17:08,759 --> 00:17:15,680
But if I'm not playing with a
lead guitarist, then I usually just

155
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,279
have them play the rhythm part and
I'll add leads in. So it all

156
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,759
depends on what group I'm playing with. But it's a good tool, especially

157
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,920
for practicing, because you, yeah, you just oh, I'm gonna try

158
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,319
this song out, record, record
the rhythm part and then you can practice

159
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,119
your lead part as it just loops
the rhythm part. So it works pretty

160
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,960
good. That makes sense. That
makes sense. Oh, hello to Tom

161
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,359
Blanchard, a very loyal listener who
just joined us in the Facebook live chat.

162
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:45,440
And Isaac Banks Greensboro, North Carolina. Check very cool all over the

163
00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:48,559
place. Yes, yes, absolutely, do you guys wanna Do you guys

164
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:51,240
want to play something for us?
Sure, I'd love to hear you live

165
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:53,680
and and again if you're just joining
us. So we have Gary Lawrence and

166
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:57,119
he is accompanied by Tom Russo and
these guys are this will be the first

167
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,039
time you guys have played live together
publicly. Right, Yes, so this

168
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,680
will be exciting. I'm gonna adjust. This is just a touch, so

169
00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:07,799
hopefully you can hear the guitar.
Oh yeah, I don't pick it up,

170
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:18,279
no problem. And all right.
So this song, this was a

171
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:26,359
song I heard in a group called
Raging Grace used to do it. I

172
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,519
tweaked the lyrics a little, and
I added my own guitar part to it.

173
00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:36,680
So it's it's kind of a mix
of collaboration with them, but the

174
00:18:36,759 --> 00:18:38,960
guitar part the companies that I kind
of made my own is something I came

175
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:42,039
up with a while back. I
do that a lot. I'm not a

176
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,720
big I haven't developed a lot with
lyrics, but I come up with a

177
00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:49,720
lot of melodies and guitar parts.
So that's a lot of what I do.

178
00:18:51,519 --> 00:19:56,119
So let's see you're ready. I
am all right? It really things,

179
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:11,119
isn't the presence? Yes, there

188
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,720
the studio, accompanied by Tom Russo. Yeah. I like your I like

189
00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:57,839
your lead playing. Thank you.
I do. It's very very tasteful.

190
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,000
It's good. Try to make it
pleasant. No, no, no,

191
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,720
really, it's it's quite good.
By the way, where are you from?

192
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:08,119
Originally you don't sound like you're from
New Hampshire, but I'm not.

193
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,440
I grew up in a town called
Chickabee near Springfield, Massachusetts. Okay,

194
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,920
okay, if you moved around or
did you grow up there. I studied

195
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,200
electronics, but there wasn't much for
work out there, so I ended up

196
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,759
coming out here to southern New Hampshire
for work. That was back in two

197
00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:30,400
thousand and one. Okay, okay, yeah, oh so you've been here

198
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,119
for quite a while. Yeah,
but I still have my Western mass waves.

199
00:24:33,599 --> 00:24:37,799
Yeah yeah, I can hear it
a it, I can hear it

200
00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:38,880
a bit. Now do you play
out a lot. Are you playing a

201
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:45,440
lot of shows or let's see,
it's it's usually some kind of event once

202
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,920
a week for me. Yeah,
so not too much. I got young

203
00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:53,400
kids, full time job, you
know, beautiful wife, all nine yards,

204
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,640
so but I get I get plenty
of opportunity. Do you when you

205
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,119
play out live? Is it are
you usually using the loop pedal or do

206
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,160
you do a lot of shows where
it's just you and a guitar or does

207
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:10,839
it vary? Yeah, I do
a mix of things. I have a

208
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,079
group. There's a music venue in
Weymouth, Massachusetts. Was there south of

209
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:21,880
Boston. It's it's a nonprofit kind
of a Christian organization, and there's a

210
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,920
bunch of volunteers there. So I
go down there maybe once a month and

211
00:25:26,079 --> 00:25:30,599
kind of lead the group to get
them coordinated, to support the nonprofit,

212
00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:33,599
to save them a little money because
when the artists come the other times,

213
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,839
then they got to pay them for
travel or whatever. So that's like once

214
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:44,359
a month, and then I have
there's another nonprofit I play at in Boston.

215
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,839
That's at first I was playing there
a lot with the loop pedal,

216
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:52,319
but a friend of mine retired and
I have every other Friday. I have

217
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,319
a lot of flexibility in my work
schedule. My work does an alternate schedule,

218
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,440
so every other Friday is like a
weekend day. Yeah, and so

219
00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:04,279
we uh, now that my friend's
retired, he goes with me and does

220
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,240
something kind of like this with Tom. Yeah, he'll he'll play rhythm with

221
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,559
me and and then I don't need
to use the loop pedal, and then

222
00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:17,839
what else? And then there's a
group I volunteer at our local home church

223
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,519
too, so that's uh, they
practice a couple of couple like one on

224
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:26,960
a Sunday and one on Wednesday.
And I usually do more just lead guitar

225
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:30,160
there because yeah, I can't always
make the Wednesday practice. So there's a

226
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,000
lot of a lot of a lot
of different groups of people I play with.

227
00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:37,000
Yeah, do you uh, do
you have a preference, like is

228
00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:41,039
there a favorite thing? Like do
do you do you enjoy not having to

229
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,839
use the loop pedal? For example, just being able to play with somebody

230
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,599
else and like you're doing here,
Yeah, I prefer there's you get more

231
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,839
flexibility if you get somewhere else or
chemistry right and that, Yeah, the

232
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:59,000
songs go somewhere else, like when
you're mixing it up with they can pick

233
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,319
up on that and accompany it right
right, and and the and the other

234
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,799
song we're gonna do. You'll hear
Tom do some more lead guitar work,

235
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,160
and that's another example. He'll he's
gonna kind of weave lead guitar in between

236
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,720
the vocals. And that's another way
you can take the song somewhere else live,

237
00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:18,960
you know. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I mean that must be

238
00:27:19,079 --> 00:27:22,759
nice to kind of have that flexibility, because I would imagine it kind of

239
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,240
you know, even songs that maybe
you had written a long time ago.

240
00:27:26,319 --> 00:27:27,720
It kind of puts a fresh coat
of paint on them, right, yeah,

241
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,640
makes the new and fresh. And
well, that's another thing I do.

242
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:36,880
I I'll come up with a recording, but I do a little bit.

243
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,720
I'm not very good at my own
studio, but I have some simple

244
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,519
software. So if I have like
all the tracks individual from somewhere, either

245
00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:51,279
I recorded or somebody else, I
can say, hey, I can put

246
00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:53,279
out a list of post on Craigslist
and say, hey, does anyone want

247
00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:56,839
to add a drum part of this
song? Oh? Okay? Yeah,

248
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,119
And actually it depending on where we
end up with time. One of the

249
00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:04,640
songs I wrote this fella who goes
by Pony. I don't know that's a

250
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:11,039
stage name, but he he actually
added a drum part remotely to it and

251
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,160
sent it back to me. Oh
no kidding. So that's that's a lot

252
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,160
of fun. And I've done that. Actually with Ryan, I've done that

253
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:19,039
too. I sent him a song
and say, hey, add a lead

254
00:28:19,079 --> 00:28:23,599
guitar track to this, and he
sent it back with He sent me the

255
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,240
individual guitar track and the whole thing
mixed with how he heard it. Oh

256
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,319
no kidding. Yeah, that's something
I really enjoy doing, to collaborate with

257
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,680
people. It's an amazing time to
be alive, isn't it that you can

258
00:28:33,759 --> 00:28:37,720
do that? You know that you
can you know, like like I'm old

259
00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:38,559
enough that you know, when I
was growing up, you know, couldn't

260
00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:42,559
imagine, you know, being able
to email tracks back and forth with people

261
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:48,920
to create music. It's such a
it's it's so amazing. Is that that

262
00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:52,880
song you were just describing is that
on the YouTube? Yeah, it's we

263
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,759
could we could play that. It's
an instrumental it's more of a bluesy rock

264
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,200
song. But that's okay, nice
to mix it up. Yeah, cure

265
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,319
us to hear it. Let's see
it's if you go to the YouTube,

266
00:29:03,359 --> 00:29:10,519
it says live Guitar Faith Rock Instrumental
with Pony thirteen ten. Uh coming up?

267
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,640
Did he miss the Maybe the first
name was his first name, my

268
00:29:14,759 --> 00:29:22,400
little but I'm I had to ask
if if I had to look him up.

269
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,799
I didn't, if i'd want to
know that's true, he didn't on

270
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,599
my what's a good question? Is
that coming up for you? Matt?

271
00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:36,799
Looking for it? I've got let's
see. It was something strange going on

272
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,799
with YouTube today, so let me
let me Uh, I'll email it to

273
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:47,920
you real quick. I'm looking Yeah, if you can email. Yeah.

274
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,319
I was trying to use my phone
and it was, uh, YouTube was

275
00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:55,680
acting up a little bit. Gotta
love technology, right, yes, yes,

276
00:29:56,839 --> 00:29:57,960
oh wait, I found it.
Okay, I found it. I

277
00:29:59,079 --> 00:30:04,680
just wasn't seeing it. Live Guitar
Faith Rock Instrumental with Pony got it.

278
00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:08,559
Yeah, that's a different style than
what we can do with the acoustics.

279
00:30:08,599 --> 00:30:12,640
So yeah, that's this one where
he collaborated and did the drum track remotely.

280
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,160
All right, let's uh, let's
give this a listen. Here we

281
00:30:15,240 --> 00:33:20,799
go. I don't be I like
that. I like that a lot,

282
00:33:21,319 --> 00:33:24,319
very very cool. Uh, Gary
Lawrence live in studio with us. But

283
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:29,039
that track was, as we were
talking about earlier before we played it,

284
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,079
that was the result of some emailing
back and forth. But you did all

285
00:33:32,079 --> 00:33:35,559
the So you did all the guitar
and bass on that is that? Yeah?

286
00:33:35,839 --> 00:33:37,720
Yeah? And then he did the
drums. Yeah. Yeah, I'm

287
00:33:37,799 --> 00:33:43,880
still waiting for someone to want to
add some bait. Actually a friend of

288
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,279
mine who does allow to work with
backing tracks in midi, he came up

289
00:33:47,319 --> 00:33:52,519
with an alternate bass part in a
in a like an arrangement of the song.

290
00:33:52,759 --> 00:33:57,279
Really, so uh yeah, I
got to, Uh, one of

291
00:33:57,359 --> 00:34:00,599
my next things I'm gonna do for
fun is use his arrangement of the bass

292
00:34:00,759 --> 00:34:05,039
and I think he added some drums
too, Oh really, And uh do

293
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,559
I love doing alternate versions. It's
kinda it's not quite live, but you

294
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:13,719
get to try these things with different
people. Yeah. I like the baseline

295
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,280
that's on there, but yeah,
it's cool to be able to, you

296
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,800
know, create different versions of things, no doubt, no doubt. Do

297
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,679
you have other things that you've recorded
kind of in that vein, because obviously

298
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,480
that's very different from from you know, Yeah, we do all kinds of

299
00:34:28,519 --> 00:34:34,599
stuff. Let's see what would be
The recording quality is not as high,

300

What's the best way to do it?

341
00:44:39,599 --> 00:44:44,679
Where should they go? If you
go to YouTube and just type in Gary

342
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:51,519
Lawrence one four five, there's a
lot of Gary Lawrence America's most wanted right

343
00:44:51,679 --> 00:44:53,599
right, So you need to add
that one four five at the end.

344
00:44:53,800 --> 00:45:00,679
Okay, but that'll pop up with
Gary Lawrence Music Southern New Hampshire. Ah

345
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:06,400
so yeah, yeah, And it
also works on YouTube music if you don't

346
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,920
want video or whatever. There's there's
a few videos up there and a lot

347
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,039
of recordings, so yeah, just
audio, all right, very cool.

348
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,800
Do you have any full albums out
or you just put out singles or eventually

349
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:21,400
I got to think about how I
want to organize these singles into an album.

350
00:45:21,679 --> 00:45:25,840
Yeah. Yeah, but it's pretty
easy with today's you just make a

351
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:30,000
playlist and call it. Yeah,
that's pretty cool with the technology. That's

352
00:45:30,039 --> 00:45:34,079
true. That's true. And Tom, how about you? What do you

353
00:45:34,159 --> 00:45:37,480
have coming up? And where should
people go to follow you? Let's see,

354
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,880
Actually don't have a gig for quite
a while, taking time off and

355
00:45:42,039 --> 00:45:45,480
working on some stuff. I think
the next gig I have is Hampshire Hills,

356
00:45:46,679 --> 00:45:51,920
and I don't think it's still March
fifteenth, Okay, Yeah, ham

357
00:45:52,159 --> 00:45:54,519
do a lot of recordings. Yeah, and I've definitely been spending my time

358
00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:00,519
recording lately, so I want to
kind of take some time and almost start

359
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:05,079
over a little bit. Yeah yeah, rearrange what I'm doing, and then

360
00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:07,119
I'll be back out. Well,
we look forward to featuring your new music

361
00:46:07,159 --> 00:46:09,360
on the show when it's ready.
Yeah. Yeah, you're gonna sing with

362
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:15,119
me at one point. I'm gonna
I'm gonna really Oh yeah, did you

363
00:46:15,199 --> 00:46:16,480
know that? I didn't know that. Well, so we'll have to plan

364
00:46:16,639 --> 00:46:22,000
that. Is he completely joking?
Or do you sing? I don't sing?

365
00:46:22,119 --> 00:46:25,159
Well? Well, I'm actually you
know what, I'm not a bad

366
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:28,599
harmony singer. I can find the
octave and kind of lock in, but

367
00:46:28,679 --> 00:46:30,480
on my own I get lost.
Yeah, oh yeah, I've never been

368
00:46:30,519 --> 00:46:35,559
too. Got a chance. There's
always a chance he can sing harmony with

369
00:46:35,639 --> 00:46:37,039
you. There, you know he's
got a mic right there, he's good.

370
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,440
Yeah, that's true, that's true. Oh my goodness. Well,

371
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:45,480
uh yeah, singing Holley Lujah was
I think the first song I played in

372
00:46:45,599 --> 00:46:49,800
here in the new studio of your
school. And I still love the fact

373
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:54,840
that that song one yeah, yeah, right right, because then it's not

374
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:59,079
there's much a mystery anymore. But
yeah, this is a cool, fun

375
00:46:59,159 --> 00:47:00,519
fact, that's for sure, all
with one cool. It's harder than you

376
00:47:00,559 --> 00:47:07,679
think to actually make it still like
be entertaining or make it not be boring,

377
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,920
right right, Yeah, I think
Bruce Springsteen's song. I think Cadillac.

378
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:17,599
I think was just eh, that's
cool. I think event mostly it's

379
00:47:17,599 --> 00:47:21,400
stays in the right right Yeah,
you know, you're right, yeah,

380
00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:24,280
yeah. Does the bassline change it
all in your song or is it all

381
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,960
the one? No, that's I'll
still see too. So just rhythms,

382
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:34,880
just a loop like yeah, oh
well that that adds a little extra down

383
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:43,440
and like this and then you had
a that's the difference of cool. Yeah,

384

yeah, absolutely, very good,
it'll be cool. Gentlemen. Thank
