I 62 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,680 you know, Linda and I. Linda and I live in 63 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,400 northwestern Wyoming. It's beautiful, wide open country, and I opened 64 00:03:55,439 --> 00:03:57,439 the truck door and out there, I mean, you know, 65 00:03:57,599 --> 00:03:59,400 everybody has a white truck and you can't tell it 66 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,120 because there's two fight on it, you know, and when 67 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:05,280 I did, I looked in my truck and I realized that, well, 68 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,639 first of all, at our house, pet hair is a 69 00:04:07,639 --> 00:04:11,000 condiment and a fashion statement. I'm a huge white dog 70 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,680 named Shotgun for the seat he likes to ride in, 71 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,279 and another dog named Holly. We got this Christmas before last. 72 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,759 And anyway, I looked at my truck and I'm like, 73 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,279 there's hair everywhere, and there's like I can barely see 74 00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:25,920 out of the windows because noses have been up against it, 75 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,079 and there's operats, and I suddenly realized that I love this. 76 00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,120 I mean, not that I have to have a dirty truck, 77 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,279 but it's just part of. 78 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,639 Speaker 1: What it's been dog eysed exactly. 79 00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 3: But for me, there's a joy in I get to, 80 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,160 you know, take my one hundred and fifteen pound dog 81 00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:42,120 in the truck with me. And anyway, I was driving 82 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,439 home after I looked at that truck, and I started 83 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,519 messing around with this song idea we were coming up 84 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,759 for this Road to California album, and I said, Linda, 85 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,879 am I crazy? Or are there a zillion other people 86 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,160 like us who are dog crazy? And she said, oh no, 87 00:04:56,519 --> 00:04:58,600 So I played it for She made me play it 88 00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:01,160 three times in a row. So we put it out 89 00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:04,279 to our whole fan base and I said, send me 90 00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:08,279 pictures of your dogs, like especially if you're traveling with them. 91 00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:10,439 And I mean, we got dogs on boats, We got 92 00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:12,480 dogs on planes, we got dogs and cars, We got 93 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,680 dogs and trucks, we got dogs on flatbeds in four 94 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,839 wheel you know. And uh, Linda is a wonderful videographer. 95 00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:21,639 And so she took the song. 96 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know she did this good. 97 00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:26,399 Speaker 3: She took the song to make that video. And there 98 00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:29,800 are I think very close to one hundred and fifty 99 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,839 different dogs that were all sent to us by fans. 100 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: Oh that is nice. 101 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 3: It was delightful because all of them, all of them 102 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,000 were precious. We loved that. We God, we used as 103 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,959 absolutely as many as we as we possibly could. But 104 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,279 that's how the video came about. 105 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: It's a brilliant video.

It's it's been in your fiber. 148 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: I guess it is. I guess I'll have to agree 149 00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:55,560 with you. 150 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: Well, what I want to talk to you about too, 151 00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:00,399 is talk about this tour coming up Road to California. 152 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,360 What is that all about? 153 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, we just put out an album. Why 154 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,680 I shouldn't say just we put it out, you know, 155 00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:08,959 a while ago, and started releasing songs from the newest 156 00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:13,000 album called Road to California. And my road has been 157 00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:16,079 quite interesting. Arden, I would have to say, I think 158 00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,079 it was unusual. So I'll be quick to tell you. 159 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,240 I don't know how soon do you have to go 160 00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:21,480 to a break? But you know, I wrote songs in 161 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,120 Nashville for close to twenty years, maybe a little longer 162 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,920 than that, and I was a huge list of super 163 00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:30,600 successful artists, big artists to cut songs about many number ones, 164 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,839 and I loved it. 165 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,879 Speaker 1: Women. I think I'm an ex sportswriter. I think my stats, 166 00:08:34,879 --> 00:08:38,320 So you have eleven number one country hits that you 167 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,440 have written, is that right? 168 00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: Eleven number ones and twenty something top twenties, And yeah, 169 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,000 it's really I'm very fortunate. I work hard, but unfortunate, 170 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,240 and it got to a place though where I couldn't 171 00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:51,600 make the music I wanted to make because I really 172 00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:53,679 wanted to be an artist, and I was a bit 173 00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:58,279 artistically unfulfilled in the meantime because I like to write 174 00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:02,399 certain songs that connect road dogs exactly like road dogs. 175 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,399 And so I had been going to Wyoming Force since 176 00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:09,480 nineteen ninety nine or two thousand. I took my daughter 177 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,240 there when she was little bitty, and I fell in 178 00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:14,639 love with the country. And then I began falling in 179 00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:17,840 love with horses. My grandfather was a thoroughbred ranger, so 180 00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:20,600 I'd been around horses. Wow, I hadn't gotten to ride, 181 00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:23,279 you know. I knew some things about taking care of them, 182 00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:26,039 but not much. And I began going every year. The 183 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,399 longer I did that, the more deeply I understood I 184 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,840 didn't know anything about horses, and that even if I 185 00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:36,600 wasn't aware, that they were actually teaching me things about myself. 186 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,120 But this opened my eyes and I went, wow, I 187 00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:41,919 really got to open my eyes. The more I did that, 188 00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:44,480 finally I said, wait a second, I have so much 189 00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:48,120 to learn that I if I don't make the step 190 00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:51,159 to do so as much as possible, I don't think 191 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,399 I will sort of, I don't know, MA sure as 192 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,639 a person grow to be the man I really want 193 00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:58,960 to be. In my relationships, all relationship with four Leggers, 194 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,639 two Leggers and myself. I sold everything. I sold my house, 195 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,200 I sold my furniture. I just wow. I took my 196 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,919 guitars in my art and I put it in the 197 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,600 storage unit and for about eight beers something like that. 198 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,120 So it's twenty twelve that I was really out. I 199 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,279 left and I only worked with horsemanship. I worked on 200 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,679 a lot of ranches, I worked with and for horse clinicians. 201 00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:27,720 I then began to help redesign riding programs for people 202 00:10:27,759 --> 00:10:30,639 and work with I don't know, hundreds of horses, rode 203 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,759 thousands of miles, met the most amazing spirit, married her. 204 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,480 Not a horse, that's Linda. Okay, that's that's Linda, although 205 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,440 there are a lot of amazing spirits besides, she is 206 00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:46,600 my amazing spirit. And we moved to Wyoming, and when 207 00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:49,639 we did, she began shooting a television show off the 208 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,960 property we were on, and I picked up my guitar 209 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,159 and went, I really feel like I have a lot 210 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,200 of things to say, and I'd like to say them 211 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,919 the way I would like to say them, without the 212 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,600 confines of other artists or radio or anything that good 213 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,320 for you. And Linda said, I think you need to 214 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,360 put the journeys together. Well.

We got 318 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,639 to name drop more, Okay, So people need to know 319 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,440 Randy Travis, what an institution, what a country singer icon? 320 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,879 You wrote his song called. 321 00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 3: If I Didn't Have You. That's the number one I 322 00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:55,120 had with him. I had several other cuts with him. Yeah, 323 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,320 what was it like to work with him? Well, you 324 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,960 know when he cut the films. The only time I 325 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,559 ever worked with Randy in the studio is that particular song. 326 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,119 His producer, Kyle Lenning called me. I've played guitar since 327 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,039 I was four years old, and I have a bit 328 00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:13,000 of a different style than this typical What. 329 00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: Does that mean? Don't be teasing that? 330 00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, truth be told. When I was a kid, Okay, 331 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,319 the reason I say that, when I was a kid, 332 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,880 I didn't have a lot of time to play out. 333 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,960 We had chores and things we had to do. So 334 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,400 at night I figured out a way to practice guitar 335 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,720 without being heard. You know those pink curlers, the women's 336 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:30,359 curlers that. 337 00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:33,079 Speaker 1: Are pink, Well, wait, man, my hair is so long. Okay, 338 00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:35,640 but yeah, I'll try. I'll try to well, I think there. 339 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 3: You lick with this in a way. Everybody's seen them somehow, 340 00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:40,680 nobody wants to be caught wearing them. I took one 341 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,119 of those pink curves and I put it up underneath 342 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,680 my strings on the guitar. So what would mute all 343 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:46,279 the strings? 344 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: That's genius. 345 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 3: I would just play and I didn't know what I 346 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,960 was doing. I didn't get a lot of lessons. I 347 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,759 had a few, but I didn't get a lot. And 348 00:17:53,799 --> 00:17:56,640 I made stuff up. And then as I made stuff up, 349 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,000 and I didn't know what I was doing, I just 350 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,920 did whatever sound good, and I used my hand to make, 351 00:18:01,079 --> 00:18:03,920 you know, percussive things against the strings. And I played 352 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,240 with a thumb pick, not a flat pick. So I 353 00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:09,519 began making up stuff to go with it, which is 354 00:18:09,559 --> 00:18:12,640 how I kind of started writing songs. I just made 355 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,759 everything up. And so at any rate, this song, if 356 00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:19,480 I didn't have you has a classical guitar. I played 357 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,480 a classical guitar was a certain way that's kind of funky, 358 00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:25,680 you know. And Kyle heard that on a recording I 359 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,880 had made that was just me and a guitar, and 360 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,519 I don't know, I don't even know where they got it, 361 00:18:30,519 --> 00:18:32,200 but he said, I'm in the studio. All I have 362 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,359 is this little recording of you playing a classical guitar, 363 00:18:35,599 --> 00:18:37,480 and we want to cut this on Randy. So I 364 00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:40,160 went down to the studio and I played guitar on 365 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,920 this record, and it was the first record I've ever played. 366 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,000 And Randy was first of all, in the headphones. His 367 00:18:46,079 --> 00:18:48,000 voice is amazing, you know, he just bills up this. 368 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Oh yeah, he's really talented. But he was also I 369 00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:53,039 wish I had more time to spend with him. He 370 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,480 was genuine. He just he was just Randy. And Randy 371 00:18:57,599 --> 00:19:01,200 was kind and I think big hearted appreciate it, even 372 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,160 though it was a small amount of time. That's really 373 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,079 Then later I actually was on some tours with him 374 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,880 and I opened for him and play. You know, he 375 00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:11,039 always treated me well his whole crew. 376 00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: So did you ever tell him about your pink curler story? 377 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 3: But I don't think we ever talked, So this is 378 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,279 an old Behave exclusive anyway, So if you go and 379 00:19:20,319 --> 00:19:22,839 listen to that record, though it's on his Greatest Hits album, 380 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,240 Ran These Greatest Hits out called If I Didn't You, Interestingly, 381 00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:31,200 the whole first verse is just drums, Randy singing, and 382 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,000 then I come in and play the only record I've 383 00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:35,319 kind of heard where it's just drums for a whole verse, 384 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,440 just him and drums. Then you'll hear my classical guitar 385 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,880 come in, which is kind of an unusual instrument to 386 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,839 put in a country record like that, and it worked well. 387 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,799 Speaker 1: I want to ask you one of my favorite country 388 00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:48,880 singers is Keith Urban. So you worked with him too? 389 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 3: And Keith another really good guitar player. Oh yeah, he 390 00:19:53,599 --> 00:19:55,319 really is. I've been a fan of Keith's for a 391 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,000 long time. He cut We wrote a song together called 392 00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:01,279 I Thought You Knew I can't tell you the name 393 00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:03,279 of the album. Yeah. I got to write with Keith 394 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,079 a couple of times. And what a talented guy, you know. 395 00:20:06,319 --> 00:20:09,680 And he's had an interesting journey as well and done. 396 00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: Super what's it like because he's an Aussie and he's 397 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,119 in Nashville and everybody is cool. 398 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,279 Speaker 3: I don't know that anybody you know thinks anything different 399 00:20:17,279 --> 00:20:19,160 if you're Aussie or you're I. 400 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: Think it's cool that OSSI's like country. 401 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 3: I like that. Yeah, And you know, there's a lot 402 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,359 I mean, there's a lot in Australia's a lot of 403 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,160 appreciation for country. There are a lot of artists who 404 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,960 are in Australia. In fact, in my opinion, one of 405 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,359 the greatest guitar players in the world is from Australia's 406 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,640 name is Tommy Emmanuel. If you don't know, you haven't 407 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,319 ever heard of Tommy Emmanuel, just go check him out, 408 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,240 go and listen to. Even another incredible acoustic guitar player 409 00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:46,480 is Billy Strings. And you can even go and find 410 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,680 so if you take people like Billy Strings and Trey 411 00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:52,920 Hensley and tell Emmy Emmanuel and put him around. And 412 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,640 I haven't gotten to work with Billy or Tommy. I 413 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,039 know Trey pretty well. They're all kind of guitar you know, 414 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,720 guitar heroes mine, but Tommy's from Tommy's from Australia. Just 415 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,279 a genius acoustic guitar player. 416 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: Well, we need to get back to you because you're 417 00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:08,599 a genius too, and you're a nice guy. 418 00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:11,839 Speaker 3: I like to celebrate successes of others. It's just heart. 419 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,599 I just do all right. 420 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,519 Speaker 1: Your album that's just out and now help me. This 421 00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:20,599 is Road to California, that road dog is in right, yes, okay. 422 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,440 You also kind of flip it to the song not 423 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,960 Afraid to Love, right, Yeah, I wanna tell us about that. 424 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,319 Speaker 3: Well, Not Afraid that Love is the only song on 425 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,559 the record that I didn't write by myself, and it 426 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,319 is a song that I wrote with Wayne Kirkpatrick. You'll 427 00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:40,079 know Wayne Kirkpatrick because he wrote To Save the World 428 00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:43,960 for Eric Clapton, and he is a really talented writer. 429 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,920 And we wrote a few songs, but that particular song 430 00:21:47,079 --> 00:21:50,680 Linda had heard and she fell in love with it. 431 00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:55,359 And it's really about resiliency and the belief, belief in 432 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,400 your heart. And I think as humans we are put together, 433 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,640 we are supposed to love and we get hurt, you know, 434 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,200 loving and that can make us hesitant or you know, 435 00:22:05,559 --> 00:22:09,279 reticent to give of ourselves and trust. And yet somehow 436 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,559 we try again. We will say up. All right, Okay, 437 00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:15,680 I believe, I believe if I may. 438 00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: I used to be a newspaper reporter, so I'm trying 439 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,079 to make sure I quoted you write. I was doing 440 00:22:20,079 --> 00:22:24,000 my homework on you get viewing. You said that when 441 00:22:24,039 --> 00:22:28,440 you write a song, it's writing poetry. It's three dimensional, 442 00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:30,839 not two dimensional. It's like painting. 443 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 3: Well, my approach to writing the really important element that 444 00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:38,160 I've grown I think into more and more as I 445 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,160 went along, because it's what I even if I was 446 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,440 told something else, it became. I don't know if I 447 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,079 agree with that. 448 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: This is what kind of like the curlers under the 449 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,359 strings of a guitar. 450 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 3: Okay, this has resonance for me, is where we are 451 00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:57,599 similarly human. So I approach songs with trying to have 452 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,480 more awareness of the listener than the writer writing it 453 00:23:01,599 --> 00:23:04,200 as part of it. It's something that I learned more 454 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,559 powerfully working with horses, because if I am endeavoring to 455 00:23:08,599 --> 00:23:12,480 help a horse understand or to accomplish something together, I 456 00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:15,920 feel like I really have to work to understand. Try 457 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,680 I'll never do it, but to try to go, Okay, 458 00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:20,920 how is he seeing things? How is he hearing things? 459 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:21,799 How is he movings? 460 00:23:21,839 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 5: Got four? 461 00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:25,039 Speaker 3: He doesn't look the same way I do. He only 462 00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:27,160 sees one side of his body. On each side, he 463 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,960 feels pressured differently. Got to keep my awareness on that 464 00:23:31,319 --> 00:23:33,400 and what am I asking of it? So it's the 465 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,000 same thing for me when I'm working with music as 466 00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:39,480 a listener. He asked me about what I think of 467 00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:42,079 it as painting, And the reason I say it's three 468 00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:45,119 dimensional is because we might think that I would write 469 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,839 a poem and it's just you know, the rhymes and 470 00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:52,000 aligns and maybe some story. But if you can imagine 471 00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:56,119 the characters and the situations and songs, I will endeavor 472 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,000 to explore that to a degree that's maybe a little 473 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,079 more than I have had co writers who did so. 474 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,559 The majority of the people that I've written with may 475 00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:08,559 not do that same quite the same way, and I 476 00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:11,680 will take a long time sometimes to write a song, 477 00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:15,119 but in doing so, I'm able to look more deeply 478 00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:19,279 at what characters are affected by, how they're really loving 479 00:24:19,319 --> 00:24:23,119 one another, what that feels, what the alone ness of 480 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,000 something feels like and what also what the shift is 481 00:24:27,279 --> 00:24:29,160 from the beginning of the song to the end of 482 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,279 the song. And when I've tried to describe it, I'm like, basically, 483 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,000 as a songwriter, I sit down to a blank canvas 484 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,720 and then if I have something that I want to 485 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,799 write paint inside someone's imagination, I'm going to do it 486 00:24:42,839 --> 00:24:44,799 the same way as an artist. I've got to look 487 00:24:44,839 --> 00:24:46,839 deeply at what I'm writing about and then decide, am 488 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,400 I going to just paint the one flower? Am I 489 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,119 going to paint this vase? Or am I going to 490 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,079 paint the entire landscape? Which one is it? And importantly 491 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,079 I invite or try I say, space is love. Space 492 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,359 is love. What I say a not distance but space. 493 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,279 Speaker 1: No, I'm I'm digging you, man, I just need somebody 494 00:25:06,319 --> 00:25:08,720 to paint my newly furbished bathroom. But I think you're 495 00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:11,799 above my pay grade right now for that. But you 496 00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:14,640 know what, I really appreciate you doing that deep dive 497 00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:18,160 because I as a writer too, and you know, you 498 00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:21,240 really do have to think outside the litter box and 499 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,039 get into it. And the fact that you're really paying 500 00:25:24,079 --> 00:25:26,640 attention to who's going to be tuning in. That makes 501 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,200 a big difference everyone. We're speaking with country star Skip Ewing, 502 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,160 and I feel like I know you. 503 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 3: You're a good. 504 00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: Guy, and you love dogs, and you've got horses, and 505 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,359 you've been through life, and I have a feeling that 506 00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:42,319 songs are going to keep on coming. 507 00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:44,559 Speaker 3: Well your mouth to the year of the Universe. 508 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,559 Speaker 1: So we know how horses have made an impact on 509 00:25:47,599 --> 00:25:50,680 your life. How I have dogs made an impact on 510 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:51,279 your life. 511 00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 3: I don't remember a time I didn't have a dog. Well, no, 512 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,799 I take that back. There is some time where I 513 00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:58,720 couldn't have a dog, But most of the time I 514 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,720 just wanted a dog and I loved being around dogs. 515 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,920 When I was in Nashville, we finally the dog that 516 00:26:06,279 --> 00:26:09,759 I had her for sixteen seventeen years, and her name 517 00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:12,640 was Lovey, named by my daughter. We got her here 518 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,359 at an adoption center. And it's been so long since 519 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,200 we got it, I don't know that I don't even 520 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,480 know if it's still together. We went into the place, 521 00:26:21,519 --> 00:26:22,519 it was really well done. 522 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, they always they bring shelter animals to places to 523 00:26:25,759 --> 00:26:26,960 help increase adoption. 524 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, because my daughter likes to go in there, and 525 00:26:29,519 --> 00:26:31,920 she saw this dog and she goes, Dad, she needs 526 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,960 to go home with us, and I said, honey. We 527 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,079 talked about it, and she got back in the car 528 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,279 and then she said Lovey. I said Lovey. I said, 529 00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:42,880 how do you spell that? She said luv I I said, okay. 530 00:26:43,039 --> 00:26:44,839 I said what is that? She said, that's the name 531 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,000 of our dog. Oh sweet, I said, oh my gosh, okay. 532 00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:51,119 So the next day she literally said, Dad, are we 533 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,119 going to go pick up Lovey? And there was something 534 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,599 about it that I went, if it really does last 535 00:26:55,599 --> 00:26:57,240 that long and we go back, I said, she may 536 00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:00,559 not be there. We got Lovey and she was part 537 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,920 just of our lives, but then my life. She went 538 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,960 everywhere when truly when I was traveling, when I would 539 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,640 go to Wyoming, she would be in the car. 540 00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: What kind of dog do you think she is? 541 00:27:10,319 --> 00:27:12,839 Speaker 3: Was? She was an awesome mix, beautiful. 542 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: He wasn't part Keith Urban. 543 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,839 Speaker 3: No, it wasn't part Keith Urban. And its actually doesn't 544 00:27:16,839 --> 00:27:18,839 play the She didn't play the guitar. I tried to 545 00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:21,240 get her to play the guitar like you just wouldn't. 546 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,559 And she traveled with me everywhere Wyoming back Wyoming for 547 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,640 all that time. And she was the kind of dog 548 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,960 who was so aware that no matter what horse I 549 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,920 was riding. In fact, I could take a group of 550 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,759 people and switch horses in the middle of the ride 551 00:27:32,759 --> 00:27:36,000 and she would still stay with me. She was one 552 00:27:36,079 --> 00:27:38,440 to run ahead, lay down in the water and watch 553 00:27:38,519 --> 00:27:40,119 us the direction we were going to come from, so 554 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,079 that she would be cool when it was like and 555 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,319 then and then go running. It enriched my life more 556 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,519 than dogs ever had, because of the because of the 557 00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:52,400 full interaction that we that I was experiencing with her. 558 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,559 And and when Linda and I got together, she had 559 00:27:55,559 --> 00:27:59,559 a little Jack Russell named Jack. Okay, well, I think 560 00:27:59,599 --> 00:28:01,079 he came with that name from. 561 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: This Oh that's what they always say, scap. 562 00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:06,079 Speaker 3: I think he did, but maybe not. I don't. I'm 563 00:28:06,079 --> 00:28:07,559 not sure about that. 564 00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:09,039 Speaker 1: That's okay, Linda seems. 565 00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 3: It seems every dog we've ever had has come from 566 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,039 a shelter, which I you know, which I love. It's 567 00:28:14,079 --> 00:28:16,039 not the only place to get a dog, but it's 568 00:28:16,039 --> 00:28:17,960 a good place to do it. I just think there's 569 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,920 so many yeah, deserving so so anyway, and then we 570 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,559 got Shotgun, then we got Holly, and it's a daily 571 00:28:25,759 --> 00:28:29,039 part of our lives and facts it helped structure our life. 572 00:28:29,079 --> 00:28:31,079 I mean, you can't have those kinds of animals and 573 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,440 not have all these things that. 574 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: You oh, horses and dogs and other things. Yeah. I 575 00:28:35,079 --> 00:28:39,000 live with Kna and Emma, my dogs and three cats, 576 00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:42,079 and they keep my spouse an eye, happy, in line 577 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,680 and everything. And so I just celebrated twenty five years 578 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,960 in the pet industry and I got a tattoo with 579 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,400 a dog, a cat and a heart. Wow. 580 00:28:51,119 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 3: Wow, that's awesome. 581 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,519 Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, and everybody's like, where is it on 582 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,359 the last place my body will have cellulite, which is 583 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,599 on my upper thigh. It's a very important decision. 584 00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:06,279 Speaker 3: That's hilarious. Yeah, So every day they keep I think 585 00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:09,599 they keep us grounded. I think there's something very grounding. 586 00:29:09,599 --> 00:29:13,319 There's something that keeps us, that reminds us that we're human. 587 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,440 And I think if you are, if you are someone 588 00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:19,720 who cares for your animals and endeavors to get better 589 00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:22,799 about that and literally offer them as good a life 590 00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:26,799 as you can, it's a constant practice and compassion. It's 591 00:29:26,839 --> 00:29:30,480 a constant practice in awareness, and I love that. You know, 592 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:36,119 it is nothing like beginning to understand the subtleties that 593 00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:39,279 you know. Why can you see a look on a 594 00:29:39,359 --> 00:29:42,880 dog's face and know that it's water.
