We heard a lot about you last time when Conrad was 67 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,399 here, but nice to nice to meet you in person. So and of 68 00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:07,279 course the band is Bees Deluxe. Will play some more Bees Deluxe a little 69 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,279 later, but uh so and by the way, so Conrad, you brought 70 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,120 me this, uh Bees Deluxe hallucinate And there's a lot of music on your 71 00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:20,120 twelve tracks. Is this all? Is this all original? Yes, it's 72 00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:24,919 an all original album, outstanding. Yeah, I look forward to listening to 73 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:30,200 this and what you just heard was Carol playing harmonica. Frank, Oh, 74 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:37,679 very good, very good. Mistakes were mine? No, it sounds sounds 75 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:43,159 great, so so Carol. So you you play harmonica on that and you 76 00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:48,320 play piano correct? Yeah? Keyboards, keyboards when you play live? Is 77 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,600 it? Because I know from our previous conversation Conrad that this band, you 78 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,320 know, it's got different You can kind of play with the configuration a little 79 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,440 bit, right, depending on on who's available. You can be a quartet, 80 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,960 you can be a tree, you can be a duo. How often 81 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,279 do you play as a duo? Does that happen a lot? Almost never, 82 00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:11,519 thank goodness. Frightening. Really, we're booked to play Darryl's House as 83 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,159 a trio with acoustic upright base. Oh yeah, the Darrel's House. That's 84 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:22,080 gonna yeah, that's going to be a challenge and acoustic piano. Oh very 85 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,360 cool. You're not going to be actually on Live at Darrel's House, right, 86 00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:28,039 you're playing the venue. We're playing the venue because some people might not 87 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,879 realize. So so I think our listeners are probably familiar with Live at Darrel's 88 00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:35,240 House. But Daryl Hall, She's must have been like, what five or 89 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:39,679 six years ago now he opened that that he opened a venue called Darrel's House. 90 00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:41,720 Yeah, in New York. Okay, okay, yeah, it looks 91 00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:46,720 really cool just from what I've seen of the h of the will will he 92 00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:48,039 be? Is there any chance he'll be there? Will he? But? 93 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,639 Do they really? It's almost like he's there statue and we certainly won't be 94 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,399 seeing John Oates there. We know that that was a big few being over 95 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,159 the publishing, right, yes, yes, things things went awry. See 96 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,559 that could happen to the two of you. Someday you might be feuding over 97 00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:13,759 publishing. We're already talking to lawyers. Yes, So how often do you 98 00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:16,519 play out? How often does Bes Deluxe play out? When you were here 99 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,960 last time, it sounded like you had a lot of shows. Well, 100 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,000 pretty busy. We're playing today and tomorrow, and we're booking up the December 101 00:11:22,039 --> 00:11:26,399 and festivals next year. Yeah. Tomorrow we're at the press room in Portsmouth. 102 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,799 Oh that's a yeah, excellent, And then we're back at Boston City 103 00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:35,399 Winery on May twenty fifth. Okay, okay, good. Did they have 104 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:41,279 some kind of game there or is that like you posted a picture announcing that 105 00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:46,320 you had tickets for sale for this show at the Boston City Winery. But 106 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:50,600 you have a picture of somebody with balls in their hands. Ignore those Ignore 107 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,039 Did you read the caption? Oh there must be a joke of some kind. 108 00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:01,960 Oh my, it's just for fun. I'm thinking there's a game involved 109 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,480 here, like I get to throw something. But maybe we should do that. 110 00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:09,799 We could have ax throwing. Oh we do have that here in Manchester, 111 00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:13,840 you know, we we actually do have invent Well, not only that, 112 00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:18,399 but we had h We had Ricky Mapleton on the show recently and he 113 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,360 has a song called Acts Throwing and it's literally about little axe. Yes, 114 00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:26,840 it was styrofoam. It was a toy axe. Just to be clear. 115 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:31,240 We don't want to get I want to get me in trouble. And nothing 116 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,759 was thrown, Nothing was throw That's right, that's right. Uh So, 117 00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:39,120 now, Carol, how did you become involved in this with with Conrad in 118 00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:43,480 this project, I mean the project called Beast Deluxe. Yes, well, 119 00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:50,440 I was playing jazz in clubs around Boston with other groups and we ran into 120 00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:56,440 each other. At Johnny D's right, I started playing the grand piano ryles 121 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:03,080 jazz. I can take you away from all of this and give you a 122 00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:05,919 place in that acid blues band. What do you say? Yeah? So 123 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,720 here I am okay? And how long ago was that? It was probably 124 00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:13,799 eight years ago? Oh okay, super playing together a long time while. 125 00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:18,200 Yeah, excellent. And they were playing like busting over like the girl from 126 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:26,000 Don't Be Don't Be, so don't because this is it's more fun. Yeah. 127 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,679 Yeah, and the senior band member at this point, oh okay on 128 00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:35,080 the management track. Yeah, now, who else? Who else is in 129 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:43,600 the band with you? Who used to be in the Fabulous Picasso's They were 130 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,440 like a never they were like a Nirvana band all over America. Okay, 131 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,080 And we found him because I ran an ad on Craigs. It's looking for 132 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,600 the next Bernard Purdy. Yeah, he knew who that was. And he 133 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,759 knew who that was and said, yeah, I'm on Okay, that's a 134 00:13:56,759 --> 00:14:00,159 good way to do it. That's a good way to screen, you know, 135 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,399 somebody who knows exactly what you're looking to get you away from the Geezer 136 00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:07,320 Butler's exactly exactly. Nothing wrong with Geezer Butler though, No, but it's 137 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,840 different, right right. I know you're still a multi Crew fan, So 138 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,039 yeah, I am right, well, and you mean you mentioned Geezer Butler, 139 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,320 I'm a very big Black Sabbath fan. Yeah, very big Sabbath fan. 140 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:26,360 Yeah, absolutely. So, Now when you play out, is it 141 00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:28,960 originals and is it a mix of originals and covers because I know you also 142 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,519 do some covers or how does that work out of that? It's a mix. 143 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,919 We try not to scare people off too much with too many originals all 144 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,559 in a row, and you have to give them something they know right now 145 00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:41,559 and then. Yeah, but we do have a fair amount of originals. 146 00:14:41,559 --> 00:14:45,679 We could do an entire night of just originals. Yeah, yeah, no 147 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,639 doubt. Like, how how many original songs does this project have? Do 148 00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:52,159 you think? Can you put a number on a rough number on how many? 149 00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:56,200 No, I mean just generally like, how how many how many songs 150 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,240 has Bees de LOCs written and recorded? Would you say a lot? Yeah? 151 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,120 I don't know what you think somewhere between thirty and eighty. Oh that's 152 00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:05,480 quite a bit, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And even when we 153 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:09,080 play a cover though it's an original because we kind of go off the tracks 154 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,720 with it. Yeah, And people will say why don't you play a cover 155 00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:16,600 song? And we'll say, we just did right right, Yeah, dude, 156 00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:18,720 are some of the covers you do covers that maybe not everyone. I 157 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,200 mean, obviously you can change them up a little bit, but maybe some 158 00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:26,240 two that aren't necessarily well. That's the other perfect criterion is we try not 159 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,919 to do the thriller is Gone. Yeah, because you can got any blues 160 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,440 bar in America and there'll be five white guys up there playing the thriller is 161 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,399 Gone. Yep, yep. So we'll pick a song that was a B 162 00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:41,960 side in the sixties or the fifties. Okay, that only that most people 163 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,759 won't know, won't recognize, but they'll recognize the style. Yeah, although, 164 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:50,279 oh who was that? And we got that's Bobby Blue Bland. They've 165 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,879 heard of bb King, but they haven't heard of Bobby Blue Bland, right, 166 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,200 unless the real blues of ficionados, right, or will take a song 167 00:15:56,279 --> 00:16:00,559 by Burt bacorek or Eda James or Billie Holiday and play that and bring it 168 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:04,279 up to the twenty first century. We do say a little prayer which is 169 00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:07,600 oh do yeah, which Conrad sings. Yes, Yeah, it's our drag 170 00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:12,440 show song, but but we put a whole new spin on it. Yeah, 171 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,799 yeah, Oh that's cool. That's cool. Do you ever have anyone 172 00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:21,919 so, has anyone ever complained like, why don't you? Why don't you 173 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,240 play it the way it was recorded? Have you ever gotten that one? 174 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,559 No. The problem we have with some audiences, especially if they've had a 175 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,039 couple of drinks, is they come and they beg us to play Tom Petty 176 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:37,159 songs. Really and Hotel California, Oh you for that? Oh sure? 177 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,360 Really? So there's this kind of list of songs that everybody knows and wants 178 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:47,720 to hear every single night, and you've got to judge that bullet somehow diplomatically. 179 00:16:47,879 --> 00:16:51,240 Yep. Sometimes I'm not very diplomatic about it. What do you why? 180 00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:53,039 What do you? What do you? Well, I'm if I'm being 181 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,000 very diplomatic, I'll say that's a really great idea. Come and talk to 182 00:16:56,039 --> 00:17:00,600 me when we have a break. Yeah, and that hopefully by that they've 183 00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,639 gone to the bathroom that they're going to be cow upups and I've forgotten about 184 00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:07,079 about it. Yeah. The worst case scenario is the bar made from a 185 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,440 club we were playing came up to me and I said, hey, we 186 00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:14,559 don't do requests, and she said, no, I work here, you 187 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,480 don't have to play anymore we're closing. Oh, I went, oh, 188 00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:22,359 I'm sorry. I thought you were gonna ask me for Tom Betty's. We 189 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,599 do acquiesce to the audience if they if they seem to be dancing and having 190 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,400 a great time, we'll try to keep things up beat. Yeah, and 191 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,480 if they're if they're crying for a twelve bar blues will give them what they 192 00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:37,400 want, right right. Yeah. And between the two of you, I 193 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,240 mean, you must know a lot of songs that we have a spreadsheet about 194 00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:45,400 two hundred songs on it, no kidding, Yeah, with what key it's 195 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,559 in, how we play it, and where there's a sample of it that 196 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,880 a sub bass player can go and learn it. Okay, Yeah, which 197 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,440 is helpful because sometimes we have a sub bass player really uh like like often 198 00:17:57,599 --> 00:18:02,279 or just occasionally. It depends which part of the country we're playing in. 199 00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:07,160 Pennsylvania will play with Jeff Lopez, who I used to play with at cbgbi's 200 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:11,279 Oh okay, so he and I old friends and he's written charts for what 201 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,240 he plays with us. Yeah. So, and then when we play here, 202 00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:18,880 we'll play with Aldo, who plays bass with Charlie Sawyer, who's an 203 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,920 old friend of BB Kings, so he knows our repertoire. Oh okay, 204 00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:26,000 so that switches up according to what part of the country. Oh interesting. 205 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,160 You know, we're going to Rockland, Maine to play Monday night blues for 206 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,839 Paul Benjamin and we'll take Adam uh Sandowski with us. He can't go to 207 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:40,599 Pennsylvania because he teaches music therapy at Boston mass General to kids. Oh no, 208 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,160 kidding, So he has to be at work on Tuesday morning at nine 209 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,559 am. Yeah. Yeah, So that that's the that's the situation that we're 210 00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:51,279 in, is like who can do what where? Yeah? Yeah, it's 211 00:18:51,319 --> 00:18:53,920 interesting that, you know, to have something where you can play with different 212 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,079 people and literally in different parts of the country. That's well, it's lots 213 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,559 of fun too, because it gives us When we play with Jeff, we 214 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,759 sound a little different than we play with animates and it's it's all good, 215 00:19:04,759 --> 00:19:07,799 but it's it's different and it's fun. Yeah, keeps us on, keeps 216 00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:11,799 it fresh. Yeah, that's that's really cool. So that song called Me 217 00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:15,799 Frank, why is it tell us about call me Frank? Do you know 218 00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:19,759 who Frank stands for? Uh? Who Frankenstein? Okay, all right, 219 00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:22,599 you do say Frankenstein and there right, so when I'm home, I take 220 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,559 the bolts out of my neck. I have to listen to the words. 221 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,599 And the bride of Frankenstein she's got really curly hair. Okay if you remember 222 00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,119 in the classic movies, yeah, yeah, so she has to comb her 223 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,920 hair right. Oh that makes sense. Okay, that's why the castle is 224 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,680 in flames. And then and the villages are with pitchforks coming for us. 225 00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:52,519 Oh okay, got Halloween song? Oh very good, very good? Do 226 00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:56,559 you do you play that one out or do you just save it for awl? 227 00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:59,799 We do, and we fight about it because Carol will play harm on 228 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,240 a up for twenty five minutes unless I stopped until I run out of breath. 229 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:10,000 Really yeah. Now do you both on the on the studio recordings? 230 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,279 Do you both play multiple instruments or do you do you? Conrad? Do 231 00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:17,759 you stick to guitar and vocals or a whole bunch of stuff in there? 232 00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:22,720 He plays the coronet? Really yeah. I also play something on my iPhone 233 00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:29,160 called chaos Elator. So so it's a synthesizer on a phone and I can 234 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,640 play it into a into a microphone and record that. Really yeah. And 235 00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:37,200 channel plays keyboards and harmonica and things, back up vocals, and she wrote 236 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,960 one of the tracks on there called how to Play ninety six Tiers? Okay, 237 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:47,480 oh, she's a writer play. Yeah, yeah, so that's that's 238 00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:52,599 all you on that. Yeah we should maybe we'll uh because that's Conrad sent 239 00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:56,559 me that one. Maybe we should play that kind of gives us a listen. 240 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,400 Yeah, it's a short, a short song, but it's a one. 241 00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,680 Tell them why you wrote it? I specialize in short songs. This 242 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,680 that song I wrote because we had a dear friend that we used to stay 243 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,960 with when we couch surfed in Brooklyn. His name was Jr. And he 244 00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:18,519 died. This album Hallucinatee is dedicated to him. But when we would crash 245 00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:22,880 at his house, he would he was a keyboard player as well, and 246 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,039 he would say, can you teach me how to play ninety six tiers? 247 00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:32,039 The one by them is sious, that's it and you know D D D 248 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,759 D. So we we would go over it and over it. And this 249 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,440 is not that song, but it's it's an homage. Okay, interesting, 250 00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:42,799 Yeah, all right, let's give this a listen. Here it is, 251 00:21:42,839 --> 00:23:52,880 this is how to play in ninety six years h that's pretty how to play 252 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,559 a ninety six tears hero old band? So you uh uh no, that's 253 00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:00,920 that's very nice. The melody reminds me of something, but I can't I 254 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,119 can't quite place it, Little Dave Brubeck. Don't you think maybe I feel 255 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,759 like there's a specific song? Are you accusing me? No? No, 256 00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:14,160 no not, although that is a subject we've discussed many times on the show 257 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,400 over the years, plus on another show that I do. But no, 258 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,400 it's just it's it's evocative of a specific song, but I can't quite place 259 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:25,359 it. Something pop like I live in fear that I'm going to rewrite. 260 00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:27,400 Really it's already gone to number one on the charts, right right, and 261 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,759 yeah then you end up getting sued and the whole deal. Yeah that would 262 00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:34,480 be good for us. Yeah, that's good publicity. Just spell our name 263 00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:38,240 right right, So if anybody has written that song, come after me, 264 00:24:38,319 --> 00:24:42,680 please. There's something Carol came about it that I'm hearing. It was a 265 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:48,920 big influence in my younger days. Who who She influenced everybody who played the 266 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,079 piano. Yeah, no, that makes sense. That that absolutely makes sense. 267 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,960 By the way I'm looking at the cover. So I will Actually I 268 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,720 can hold for people watching on Facebook. I can hold this up to the 269 00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:03,839 camera. The ca is currently working, but uh, and of course people 270 00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:06,640 can look at it online. But what what can you tell us about the 271 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:12,279 cover? It's it's a little bit I'm actually disturbed by it. That's that's 272 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,480 good, is am am I supposed to be? I wasn't sure if if 273 00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:18,240 if I was supposed to be. Yeah, but yes, I mean, 274 00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:21,720 you know, and we were talking earlier about Black Sabbath. It could almost 275 00:25:21,759 --> 00:25:26,279 be an early Black Sabbath cover. The cover is by an artist named Wendy 276 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,799 Brusick who lives in Cranston, Rhode Island. She was a friend of mine 277 00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:34,839 from high school. Oh and she's a successful artist. The second piece of 278 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:41,319 artwork that she has let us use her other one was Anxious Man on our 279 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:48,519 single Nitro and and uh yeah, so anything you want to so so yeah, 280 00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:52,920 so she's come to our shows and she's shown around and yeah, she's 281 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,880 kind of a surrealist. Her her her visions, uh sort of mesh with 282 00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:03,000 our music. I think. Okay, yeah, I don't even know how 283 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:06,960 to describe this. It's just form of surrealism. But it's like the album 284 00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:10,160 is called hallucinate, So if I were to hallucinate something, I might see 285 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:17,559 that. I I it's yeah, that's interesting. But yeah, I encourage 286 00:26:17,559 --> 00:26:23,000 people to check it out. Yeah, I remember it's probably on your website. 287 00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:27,880 I remember we talked about another some other cover art that you had before, 288 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:33,759 so I assume that was also her also Wendy, Yeah, I can't 289 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,920 Wendy brusk dot com. Okay, does she does? She? Does? 290 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,960 She do a lot of cover art for musicians or No? I think we're 291 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,519 the only artist she works with. Oh wow, Yeah, No, she 292 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,759 mostly shows in museums and galleries and things like that. Oh cool, cool, 293 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:55,519 very nice, very nice. So I find there's a huge association between 294 00:26:55,599 --> 00:26:59,240 visual art and oral art. Yeah. So if I pick up an old 295 00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:03,720 copy of say Blind Faith or Cream or Jimmy Hendrix, if I look at 296 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,960 the album cover, I could hear all those tracks in my head. Yeah, 297 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:14,200 they're deeply associated with the visual and we try to reinforce that. Yeah, 298 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,839 yeah, no doubt. Yeah, what was he? What was the 299 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,599 album you had? Do you remember what album it was? When when you 300 00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:25,480 were on the show with us Nobody Voice of Dog, Oh, Voice of 301 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,880 Dog. Yeah, I feel like I feel like we had a conversation about 302 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,519 that about that album cover too, did we You got good memory? Mate? 303 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,880 I feel like I'm trying to find the Uh that was a bee on 304 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:45,200 an with an eagle? Was it? And I remember some somebody said to 305 00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:48,319 you, somebody said, oh, I get it. It's an eagle and 306 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,640 a bee. It's a beagle, so it's a voice of dog, which 307 00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:56,839 was a huge leap. And wow. Yeah, I'm trying to find Oh, 308 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,319 yeah, yeah there, yeah, we did. I remember we talked 309 00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:03,359 about this. Yeah, that's a bad that's also disturbing. But but that's 310 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,640 uh, now, did Wendy do that one? No? No, you 311 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,119 did that one? And that album is dedicated to the policeman who caught Son 312 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,440 of Sam. I don't remember. Did we talk about that. I don't 313 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,039 remember that. Oh, tell tell us about that. That's you know who 314 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,480 Son of Sam is. Yes, but explain for our listeners who might not 315 00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:25,599 know younger. You know, we have a young hip audience. If you 316 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,400 live in New York in the seventies, you would have seen in the newspaper 317 00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:34,039 every day that some guy his real name is Daniel, but he called himself 318 00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:38,960 Son of Sam, serial killer with shooting people in their cars at night, 319 00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:45,480 and he said that the dog next door told him to do it. Yeah, 320 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,119 so this album is dedicated to the policeman who called him. Oh okay, 321 00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:52,559 gotcha. Yeah, you'll find that in the liner notes. Okay, 322 00:28:52,079 --> 00:28:56,759 yeah, this this cover is uh yeah, it's a like a bee with 323 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:02,920 a yeah with a uh. Eagles said, well, Conrad's an artist as 324 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,160 well. Yeah, but it's it's cool. No, it's it's really cool. 325 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,559 It's very striking and it's not something you'll forget if you look at it. 326 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,680 And the confused matters even more. The first track on the album is 327 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:18,680 Cooled song number nine. Yes, yes, yeah, we definitely talked about 328 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:25,160 that when you're what you were on with us last Yeah, I'm looking yeah, 329 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,799 I'm looking at it on band camp song number nine yeah, oh yeah 330 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,920 you had a song. You have a song called beer that I think we 331 00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:33,640 played before. Yeah, some of these were really interesting Beer Flat Earth Conspiracy. 332 00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:38,799 That one's fun. Oh really yeah, Yeah, that's a fun. 333 00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:45,160 That's a that's a fun of the band. Now are any of these re 334 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,079 recorded on the new album Hallucinate or are these all new? I think that 335 00:29:49,440 --> 00:30:03,400 there's one track we've picked up, uh que Nitro. Okay, yeah, 336 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:10,079 we put Nitro on it. Okay, I gotcha. That's got Poggy Bell. 337 00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:15,319 So the drummer on Nitro lives in Philadelphia and he's very famous. He's 338 00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:21,559 played with David Bowie, Chuck Khan, people like that. And when when 339 00:30:21,599 --> 00:30:26,039 COVID hit, he had a studio and nothing to do. So I sent 340 00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:27,680 him a demo and he said, I love this, Let me play drums 341 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,440 on it. So he played drums and sent me the drum tracks back, 342 00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:36,559 and then I went to Joe Egan studio in Hyde Park and we put the 343 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,200 drums and my vocals that I'd done at home and the guitars and glued them 344 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:51,279 all together like spaghetti. Well, lasagna Is I agree with much as I 345 00:30:51,279 --> 00:30:53,720 love spaghetti, I agree with your Carolasagna is a better you know, because 346 00:30:53,720 --> 00:31:00,920 it's kind of layered. Yeah. Is that is that how you recorded? 347 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,680 This? Is that how you recorded? Everything's recorded different ways? Okay, 348 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,319 so we did. We did an album earlier on where we hung two microphones 349 00:31:08,359 --> 00:31:14,359 from the ceiling and everybody played, but this one was done in pieces. 350 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,680 We do. We've worked for about an hour a week. We go into 351 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,519 the studio. We'd work for an hour and then stop, go drink coffee, 352 00:31:21,519 --> 00:31:23,200 go play a gig, and next week come back and do another work. 353 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:30,400 So that was done like lego building, like making a pyramid out of 354 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:36,680 magticks. So I'm not sure which way we prefer. Yeah, yeah, 355 00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:38,799 which, So it was a surprise almost to us as well when we heard 356 00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:45,720 the final fit because it had come together in such such a fractious kind of 357 00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:48,799 way. Okay, yeah, because everything, you know, everything that we've 358 00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:52,200 played that I've heard of you, it all sounds really good. You know, 359 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,839 it doesn't sound like you know, like you said, it was put 360 00:31:55,839 --> 00:31:57,519 together in a fractus way. But it doesn't. It doesn't sound like that. 361 00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:00,559 It's it's all it's fractious word. I think I just made that up. 362 00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:04,960 No, I think practice, practice is the word. I think practice 363 00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:08,960 is the word we should play. Uh, let's play something from Voice of 364 00:32:09,079 --> 00:32:13,720 Dog, just because I remember really getting a kick out of this. Well, 365 00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:15,599 there's a couple of these. Actually, let's play Flat Earth Conspiracy. 366 00:32:16,279 --> 00:32:20,480 Now you now now the studio version, though, is you on vocals? 367 00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:23,680 That? Oh that's you? Okay, that's you doing the studio version. 368 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,920 Okay, Yeah, let's let's play that. This is this is a fun 369 00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:30,319 song. And then we'll uh and then afterward we'll play one of the other 370 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,119 ones that you sent me for today. Yeah yeah, but yeah check this 371 00:32:35,200 --> 00:33:00,119 out. Flat Earth Conspiracy with Caroline vocals from Bees Deluxe. It's flatten. 372 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:22,480 We can walk to the edge and that's a fac The sunflies around there while 373 00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:47,799 we sit still, and that's true. The moon is made of green cheese. 374 00:33:49,480 --> 00:34:08,440 That is sixty wild people killed and hate the diners, and we won 375 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:44,960 the world where all be so work and that's no life. If you don't 376 00:34:45,039 --> 00:35:45,280 believe me, look in the sky it's not blue. Flat Earth Conspiracy by 377 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,119 bees Deluxe. I love that song. That's fun. What kind of reaction 378 00:35:50,159 --> 00:35:53,400 does that get? Live? Are people they I don't think they hear the 379 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:59,559 woods. They just hear the big beat and that ascending series of chords like 380 00:35:59,679 --> 00:36:01,679 they'd balie pop song. Yeah yeah, and then at the end, I'm 381 00:36:01,639 --> 00:36:05,880 afraid I don't have that ring modulator anymore. But that's nice. It's an 382 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,800 homage to get back. Yeah, that's that solo is so cool. I 383 00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:15,000 wanted to ask you how you did that's alator? Okay? People hate that. 384 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,280 It makes people run for the exits, does it really, I love 385 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,239 it. But yeah, yeah, it's a little disconcerting for most listeners. 386 00:36:23,559 --> 00:36:28,280 I I can imagine, because well I would imagine it's a bit of a 387 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,760 surprise, right, But it's so cool. I love the way that sounds. 388 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,639 But uh, did you write the lyrics, Carol? No, no, 389 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,840 con you oh you wrote you wrote the lyrics and Carol sings that. 390 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:44,679 Okay, Yeah, I love the part about the moon. That's great. 391 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,400 No, I was curious what kind of a reaction it gets, because if 392 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:52,400 flat earth conspiracy has gotten really uh big, you know, I mean you 393 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,239 can go on YouTube and type it in and see thousands of right, most 394 00:36:55,239 --> 00:37:04,079 of the NBA players I believe in Now, I don't know. It's it's 395 00:37:04,119 --> 00:37:07,440 wild, it's it's it's really incredible. No, that's a that's a very 396 00:37:07,519 --> 00:37:12,880 very cool. Yeah. Well I think that's where it started, right the 397 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,599 moon landing doubters and then but you know what's interesting, Uh, flat earth 398 00:37:15,639 --> 00:37:21,400 conspiracists they kind of exist in their own I was gonna say, in their 399 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,760 own world, but they don't believe in a world the way we do. 400 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:28,079 But but they're kind of like, you know, because you've got a lot 401 00:37:28,119 --> 00:37:30,519 of conspiracy theorists these days, and we have for a while, they've been 402 00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:34,519 with us, with us for a while. But but flat earthers are kind 403 00:37:34,519 --> 00:37:38,320 of in their own lane, and that I've met flat earthers who actually don't 404 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,559 believe in any other conspiracies, but they believe in that one. And I've 405 00:37:43,599 --> 00:37:47,119 also met people who are hardcore conspiracy theorists who believe, you know the world 406 00:37:47,199 --> 00:37:52,440 is really run by reptiles and whatnot, who believe in any crazy conspiracy theory 407 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,920 you put in front of them except flat Earth. They think flat Earth is 408 00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:00,880 silly. Yeah, it's it's weird how how it's so, it's it's kind 409 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,440 of got its own lane. It's uh, well they're particular about the conspiracy, 410 00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:09,159 yes, yes, but uh yeah, it's it's uh, it's fascinating 411 00:38:09,199 --> 00:38:15,480 stuff. Beer was the other one I remember we we maybe maybe we'll play 412 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,880 that one later too, But that that was another one that I remember thinking 413 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,280 was was particularly fun. But what what is the songwriting process like? Because 414 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,559 I mean, I don't feel like you know your songs. They're they're not 415 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,960 I don't think anything is like super serious, right, They're all kind of 416 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,639 it seems like they're they're kind of fun, Like do you have anything that's 417 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,920 like really serious and heavy in terms of lyrical content or they all kind of 418 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,280 serious? Is that? Yeah? I don't think we played that one. 419 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,599 Is that on the new one? I don't think it's on that. We 420 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:52,079 haven't recorded it. We played what what What's that one about? But Conrad 421 00:38:52,159 --> 00:38:54,960 knows firsthand what that's like. Oh, you've been in jail? No, 422 00:38:55,360 --> 00:39:01,239 okay, because that would be pretty serious if no. But uh well even 423 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,119 ACU, I mean, you know, uh, that's a serious sound. 424 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,840 Johnny Cash had some fun with it. The point of Letter from Jail is 425 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,880 that that's what it feels like to be in jail when the one you love 426 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,400 is outside and you can see them. The lyrics are every day is the 427 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:20,880 same. Here's a letter from Jail is the same. Yeah, but you're 428 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,239 right, most of the stuff has has a kind of ironic or satiric age 429 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:30,440 to it. So very recently, including reviews of this album Hallucinate, we 430 00:39:30,519 --> 00:39:35,480 got compared to a cross between Willie Wonker and Frank Zappa, no kidding, 431 00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:38,320 so, and I think that's in difference to the lyrics and not to the 432 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,719 music. Yeah, because for the music to work for us, I feel 433 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,639 it has to have a groove. It can't just be a wash of sound. 434 00:39:45,679 --> 00:39:50,599 It's got to have a pulse to it that stirs you. And that's 435 00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:57,360 where that's usually where we start. Obviously you get the Seely Dan compared I 436 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,480 saw on your website Seely Dan if Seely Dan played the Lose, you know. 437 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:07,360 But yeah, when you play live, do you do like really long 438 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,440 sets, because it seems like you could, right, you've got the material, 439 00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:13,599 plus you've got the covers. Do you ever do like a full night 440 00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:16,039 at a bar someplace where it's like three hours of dinner. It's known to 441 00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:20,400 do three hours without taking a break, without taking a break. Really, 442 00:40:20,519 --> 00:40:22,239 that's unheard of. Wow. When we play Grumpies and found Us, we'll 443 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:28,239 play from nine till one in the morning, and you're right, if the 444 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,880 kids are dancing, we're going to stretch. So at that point we're a 445 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:36,679 jam band. And then if we play a listening room like the Haymarket Lounge 446 00:40:36,679 --> 00:40:39,639 of Boston City Winery May twenty fifth, the audience is seated and they've got 447 00:40:39,639 --> 00:40:44,239 a glass of wine and a plate of food, we'll play the more introspective 448 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:49,280 instrumental stuff that's shorter and to the point, so that's where we would play 449 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,119 how to Play ninety six tiers and the audience loves it because they're there to 450 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:57,280 listen to music they haven't heard before, whereas you know, the kids in 451 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,360 the die bars, like we played Vincent's in Worcester where they get out of 452 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,079 control and we're playing up tempo stuff and we're stretching it and having fun with 453 00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:07,039 it. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Do you have any other 454 00:41:07,079 --> 00:41:12,199 bands that you play with, You know, sometimes it happens organically, bands 455 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,440 kind of team up with other bands. Well, we're I think sometimes I 456 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:20,800 think of us as cannon for the So we'll play and we'll open for Mike 457 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:27,679 Zito, or we'll open for Joanna Connor and we're playing so they don't have 458 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,239 to play for three hours, play for an hour and a half and we 459 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,039 play for an hour. So we're picking up break crumbs off the table. 460 00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:37,559 But we're playing to the audience that hasn't heard of us. But they like 461 00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:40,039 what we do and they go, oh, that's not just one four or 462 00:41:40,079 --> 00:41:45,639 five four one that blues. It's got an edge to it and I like 463 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:52,119 it because I'm comfortable with it. But it's different. Yeah, so that 464 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,800 works for us. To play for stuff like that, like if we play 465 00:41:55,480 --> 00:42:00,000 the bull run in Shirley. Ronnie Earl was sitting with us and he'll say, 466 00:42:00,559 --> 00:42:02,920 what do you want to play one? He says slow blues you may 467 00:42:04,639 --> 00:42:12,000 yeah, okay, loved me Yeah, yeah, yes, simple enough to 468 00:42:12,039 --> 00:42:15,599 do. He accused us of playing all the notes. Yeah. I think 469 00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:19,480 one time he said, Wow, you guys play like all the notes. 470 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,159 That's cool. That's cool. Hey, if you have any questions. By 471 00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:28,599 the way, the studio line is open. If you have any questions for 472 00:42:28,599 --> 00:42:31,519 for the band. We've got Conrad War and Carol Band here with us from 473 00:42:31,559 --> 00:42:35,039 Bees de Lux Live in studio. You can give us a call. Six 474 00:42:35,079 --> 00:42:40,159 O three two five O six seven six O three two five O six seven. 475 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,519 I was thinking, Conrad, maybe we'll uh, we'll play that other 476 00:42:45,079 --> 00:42:50,920 what's the other track that you sent us? Uh? Oh, sharkskin Suit? 477 00:42:51,559 --> 00:42:57,199 Sorry, I accidentally started playing it again before I meant to. Yeah. 478 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,239 I really like this one a lot too. Is there a story to 479 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:04,199 this? No, it's entire Yeah, yeah, all right, oh fair 480 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,360 enough. Hey, sometimes those are the best songs. Is that a shark? 481 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:13,519 Are you wearing a shark skin suit? Conrad? It's gonna be shiny. 482 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:19,519 We were actually talking earlier off air about how much Conrad resembles and Carol 483 00:43:19,559 --> 00:43:22,079 you pointed it out. Conrad kind of resembles Peter White, host of the 484 00:43:22,079 --> 00:43:27,480 Morning Show with Peter White. I should take a picture. I gotta before 485 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,000 before you guys leave today. You know, we'll get pictures of course for 486 00:43:30,079 --> 00:43:31,360 social media. I had to take a picture of you next to that. 487 00:43:31,599 --> 00:43:35,719 Yeah, I'm really glad. I'm glad you noticed that, Carol, because 488 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,119 you're right. You could you could be you could definitely be related to Peter. 489 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,199 All right, Uh, let's give this a listen. This is bees 490 00:43:42,239 --> 00:44:30,719 to lox.

Where is that Tree House Brewery in 517 00:49:30,599 --> 00:49:36,400 Teeksbury? Okay? And tomorrow morning we're at the press room in Portsmouth, 518 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,800 New Hampshire. Okay. We kick off at eleven a m. Yeah, 519 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:45,760 and then May twenty fifth, we're back at Boston City Winery the Haymarket Lambs 520 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:51,920 Okay. And parking is validated, Oh good, it's it's It can be 521 00:49:52,039 --> 00:49:54,840 challenging down there because that's right near the Boston Garden. Absolutely for Yeah. 522 00:49:55,360 --> 00:50:01,239 If the Bruins are playing, we're done for. There's valid dated parking in 523 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,480 the Haymarket Lounge. Excellent. People don't have to worry. They can just 524 00:50:05,559 --> 00:50:07,239 zip right up there, park their car, get a ticket and have it 525 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:12,880 validated and parking is practically free. Excellent. Good good. By the way, 526 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,400 is it difficult, you know, because you mentioned tomorrow you've got the 527 00:50:15,679 --> 00:50:19,480 show at eleven am, play that early. Is that is that difficult at 528 00:50:19,519 --> 00:50:22,960 all vocally too early for acid blues, But yeah, yeah, because I 529 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,559 know, I know some some vocalists have a hard have a little bit of 530 00:50:25,639 --> 00:50:30,199 a it's a challenge, you know. We even see it here because you 531 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,599 know, we have people who sometimes play live in studio and since we've been 532 00:50:32,599 --> 00:50:37,280 on Saturday mornings, you know sometimes you know, it's a little bit of 533 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:38,800 a challenge for them to kind of get their voices warmed up first thing in 534 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,199 the morning. Well, we have a work around for that. Yeah, 535 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,480 we don't actually sing. Yeah, we vocalize. We sing in the car 536 00:50:45,679 --> 00:50:49,719 all the way up. In the car, we sing all sing along with 537 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,599 the radio all the way up, don't we. Well that's how I learned. 538 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,519 Yeah. Yeah, Oh that's smart though. That's a good that's a 539 00:50:55,559 --> 00:51:00,079 good idea, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. The worst thing is 540 00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:05,840 playing outdoors in the winter. Oh and that's when we've we've done that at 541 00:51:06,159 --> 00:51:09,960 certainly had to wear gloves and the scarf and a hat, and of course 542 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:15,119 the audience had blow heaters and we're on a stage breezing. During COVID there 543 00:51:15,199 --> 00:51:20,039 was more of that playing outside freezing, No doubts, you know, we 544 00:51:20,079 --> 00:51:23,559 couldn't play indoors. Yeah, yeah, pick us outdoors and you'd be fine. 545 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:29,159 Yeah, now worse than the vocal. So your fingers, because if 546 00:51:29,159 --> 00:51:31,480 you we did a tour where we played every night for about two weeks and 547 00:51:31,559 --> 00:51:36,280 we got to Brooklyn. We were playing Rocky Solomon's and my fingers didn't work, 548 00:51:37,119 --> 00:51:39,440 and so Alas said, put them in ice water and eat an aspirin. 549 00:51:40,639 --> 00:51:44,280 So for half an hour before we went on, I put put my 550 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,760 left hand in a bucket of ice water and had an aspirin and then I 551 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:52,239 could play. That worked. Yeah. Wow, Well, I mean the 552 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:58,639 Celtics have a swimming pool full of ice. Oh when you're not you don't 553 00:51:58,639 --> 00:52:01,000 feel any pain, right yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's to get the 554 00:52:01,039 --> 00:52:06,599 muscles going again. Okay, okay, wow, oh that's good. Were 555 00:52:06,639 --> 00:52:10,000 you were you skeptical or were you like, no I try anything at that 556 00:52:10,039 --> 00:52:16,639 point? Yeah, understandable. Yeah. Roy would in the l O would 557 00:52:16,639 --> 00:52:21,280 play with gloves on really yeah, lead the gloves. But I think he 558 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:27,360 was miming. I think somebody else. It's interesting. You know you you 559 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,599 you meant you refer to Moley Crew earlier. Ye, when when I think 560 00:52:30,639 --> 00:52:36,719 about miming, I think of Nicky six the basis there's a lot of accusations 561 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,719 that he doesn't really play. And I think of Vince Neil who clearly can 562 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,519 no longer sing, because we were talking about difficulties singing in the morning. 563 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:47,760 But did you hear the Mike Most tape, which one he's got a click 564 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:52,159 track tape in the least on YouTube? Yeah? I did hear that. 565 00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:57,159 Yeah, it's it's pretty scary that you pay one hundred bucks for a ticket 566 00:52:57,159 --> 00:53:00,639 to go and see a band and you're basically listening to a digital recording. 567 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:02,840 Yeah, there's a lot of that these days, it would seem. Yeah, 568 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:07,719 but yeah, Motley Cruz seemed to be the worst defenders. No, 569 00:53:07,559 --> 00:53:12,679 no, not as bad as well. Yeah, well that's a different Yeah, 570 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,519 you're now you're dating. That's a little bit of a different thing. 571 00:53:15,599 --> 00:53:17,360 Yeah, oh no, we all remember milliev I mean they're you know, 572 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:21,840 they're legendary for that reason alone, not because they had a couple of hits, 573 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,280 but you know, yeah, but yeah, I mean that's, uh, 574 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,440 the legend lives on Milli Vanilli. One of those guys, aren't they 575 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,400 both dead? One of them is dead, I know, But yeah, 576 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:35,079 yeah, you remember that and then they they actually tried to learn to sing 577 00:53:35,119 --> 00:53:37,400 and they went on our Cineo hall and sang for real, right, and 578 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,519 it was kind of terrible the name. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and 579 00:53:40,559 --> 00:53:45,320 it was it was it was too late, it was too late. No. 580 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,519 But so you've got a lot going on. That's great.
