Well, you missed me as I've been with 8 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:34.119 us here before a time or two when we do some of our political forum. 9 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.159 She's always been our timekeeper, so we actually get to hear you talk. 10 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.240 This is gonna be great. And also, Jessel, you're with us 11 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.479 here today. Both of you are interns at okay AM. Tell us a 12 00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.200 little bit about your experience. I know it's only been a short while. 13 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:54.000 Yeah, I really like working there. We do a lot of design stuff 14 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:59.880 for the festival. Recently we have been It's a really great job. Everyone 15 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.920 friendly there and very good. So you've been doing a lot of the digital 16 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.519 stuff. Man. We for the past couple of days we've been doing a 17 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.200 bunch of the kids programming and the main program as well. We haven't quite 18 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.680 gone to the digital marketing marketing just yet. What are you doing with the 19 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.680 kids programming? I know that Rose is always just busy, busy, busy 20 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.519 this time a year. Yeah, we're just trying to help everyone make sure 21 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.719 everything's good and organize. We're just making sure that the kids have a little 22 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.879 book that they can take home. Has all there been some place where they 23 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:37.480 can stamp their event cards and at the back we have all the event prizes 24 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.560 that we do drawings for. Well, that's cool. And so they're really 25 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:46.200 kind of butting into work. So you do a little bit more than working. 26 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.400 I mean, yes, you're you're just graduated a couple of days ago. 27 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.200 In your first big professional gig is opening for Lee Greenwood. Just just 28 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.879 a little thing you jacked up about that? Yes, I'm really excited. 29 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.799 All I've done before is just little restaurant gigs and farmer's market stuff, and 30 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.439 this is kind of my first thinking. Yeah, that's kind of what I 31 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.759 do. This is really big stuff. Now you're going to be out there 32 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:16.280 at Clyde Lake at wool Rock. Have you ever done outdoor stuff assigned to 33 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:21.960 the farmer's market? Yeah? I have actually for Okam before I started working 34 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.319 there, I did the Chris Kindle Market twice. Good. Yeah, what 35 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:29.280 kind of songs do you think you're going to be presenting to folks? I 36 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.159 think I'm going to sing some poppy stuff, some country like I love singing 37 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:38.840 Alicia Keys and Adele, but I like Reba McIntyre as well. Now she 38 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.000 was gonna bring her fiddle. Yeah, I'm sorry, violin. I don't 39 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.520 want to insult the instrument. He's gonna bring her violin in here today, 40 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.879 but kind of got in the transfer. It didn't It didn't work out, 41 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.520 but that's okay. The first time I saw you actually play and sing was 42 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.199 Bruins on Broadway and he did a little bit of a country song there, 43 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.639 and you're playing the fiddle life like nobody's business. And I'm sitting there going, 44 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.159 I'm going to take my violin at home and it turn it into kindling 45 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.840 wood. Because you're really good. Thank you? Hollo are you were starting? 46 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.599 How along? How are we when struggling? I've been playing since I 47 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:19.800 was in fifth grade, so that was like a while a while seven years. 48 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.599 Oh my gosh, maybe I struggled with seventeen. It didn't work out 49 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:30.840 for me. Ya yah, you're you're was with the FFA and your your 50 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:36.120 group went to what the Nationals for speaking and things like that. Yeah, 51 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.240 we went to Nationals for Agricultural Communications. So we had four of us. 52 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.599 I was one of the four and we went up to Indiana and it was 53 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.240 great. Now that that's kind of your strong suit, isn't it? Marketing 54 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:52.039 and speaking and just getting people together, isn't it. Yeah, you know, 55 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.120 everybody thinks, okay, m music, it's all about the music, 56 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:59.400 but it takes a lot of people with a lot of different talents to really 57 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.240 make it work work. And you know, for youngsters, I shouldn't say 58 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.280 youngsters, I should say young men and young women because you are if you're 59 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:13.000 looking for internships, Okam. I mean, like I said, they take 60 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.439 good care of you, don't they. Yes, well that's great, that 61 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.519 is really super. And of course, you know with all of this coming 62 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.600 at you. You've been there for a few days now working with the kids 63 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:29.680 stuff. But there's gonna be a lot of things happening once the performers start 64 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.879 rolling in. You're ready for that kind of education, I am. You've 65 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:39.439 ready. Now you get to see the other side of it because you've been 66 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:44.319 on the stage many times, but and I know it it'd behs. They 67 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.040 make sure you know the back end as well as the front end. You 68 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.560 know, I'm familiar with that. But now with all these different types of 69 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:54.240 performers, you're probably going to see some things that are going to be new 70 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.240 and kind of challenging. Yeah, I'm really excited to meet all of them, 71 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.480 especially like the violinists, so you're gonna be plenty of them. Yes, 72 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:11.120 I'm excited to see like the professional side of like orchestral music, because 73 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.839 really all I've been exposed to is high school and college level orchestras. So 74 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.399 it's nice to see people having fun with it, making their own way that 75 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:25.319 isn't so classical. Oh well, you know that is going to be great. 76 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.759 Now you're also seeing the real nuts and bolts of marketing MIA, and 77 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.160 this is something that you're going to go through when you go to was in 78 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:38.959 Arkansas to college, and this is gonna be a nice little training ground for 79 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.879 you. I know they've got you doing a variety of different things, but 80 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.240 wow, what a nice little leg up. Yeah, I'm really excited to 81 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.920 kind of experience what I'm playing the major in. But then also like we're 82 00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:54.160 both Giselle and I were helping try and get as many people involved, like 83 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.959 the kids. We have a bunch of kids stuff that's coming up, we 84 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:02.720 have we want to get all ages there. So from like a little little 85 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:09.519 a little little, little little and I think it's going to be really good. 86 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:13.639 Well that's a that's gonna be fantastic, and you know the payoff is 87 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.360 something else. A reason why we're bringing you on today is we want everyone 88 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.439 to know that, Okay, am just using for grown folks. It's for 89 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:25.759 all folks. I don't care if your child or if you're you can up 90 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.199 they're like I am, you know, but everywhere in between. And you 91 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.879 know, these shows I've seen so many over the years. It's unbelievable, 92 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:40.600 just the variety, the different genres, the different types of music that you 93 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.439 can be exposed to. And all I could think I was if I was 94 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.319 a kid growing up on the farm in Indiana and I had a chance to 95 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.160 see something like this, Wow, that could have changed things in a hurry. 96 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.959 And uh, you know, exposure to art is a great thing. 97 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.480 And if you're a young person, if you just happen to be listening in 98 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.160 dad's car right now because he's listening to the AM. I want you to 99 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.000 think seriously about maybe poking Dad in the heart and saying, won't we get 100 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.319 a couple of tickets to see a few of the shows? What do you 101 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.920 think? Yeah, I'm sure if you ask real nice, he'd say, 102 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.519 well, how can I say no? So I want you to do that. 103 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.000 We're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna be back with our ladies 104 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:23.120 from OKAM in just a moment after these words from Martin Lauren knee Camp Funeral 105 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.879 Home in tall Grass Mootors on K one the one you trust.

Is it time to start thinking about a 121 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.039 new car? But the thought of dealing with the large dealerships is just too 122 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.480 intimidating, too confusing. There is an easier way, tall Grass Motors. 123 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.919 Tall Grass Motors doesn't play all the confusing games a large dealerships play.

Oh yeah, 132 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.360 they've helped me prepare for going on my own a whole bunch, and 133 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:30.879 I'm really I'm glad that they did that. It wasn't such a big shock. 134 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.440 It's like, hey, the adult worlds here. But it's like, 135 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.360 okay, we're good.
