Speaker 2: from ten years ago, so really dedicated people, you know,
Speaker 2: and like all groups, we need more community to come in.
Speaker 2: And if you get to be if you become a

Speaker 2: hundred and forty dollars, that's.
Speaker 4: It for four times.
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, that's unbelievable for.
Speaker 4: The fancy seats.
Speaker 2: And then you can do the medium, which is seventy
Speaker 2: five dollars, which is still cheap for four concerts.
Speaker 4: What else are you going to do that cheap?
Speaker 2: Do you go to McDonald's a cheap and you're getting
Speaker 2: like an hour and a half of your entertainment and.
Speaker 4: Not gain any weight, honest?
Speaker 2: And then if you want a little even less expensive
Speaker 2: but still enjoyable, forty dollars for four concerts, it's ten
Speaker 2: bucks a concert.
Speaker 1: That's that is insanely good value right there, all the
Speaker 1: way around.
Speaker 5: And then it says here college students with a valid
Speaker 5: college ID are admitted free, minor students are free within
Speaker 5: a company and adult and I think you have to
Speaker 5: have like an idea that says you're a college student,
Speaker 5: because I don't think they'd believe me if I sit
Speaker 5: as a counst.
Speaker 3: Not an idea.
Speaker 1: But this is tremendous and it's a great value, and
Speaker 1: it's all right here in our community, the Martinsville community.
Speaker 4: Yeah, our community has a great community. And I think music,
Speaker 4: like I already said, it takes you anywhere.
Speaker 2: And you just never forget it, even if you don't
Speaker 2: know it.
Speaker 4: You don't forget it.
Speaker 1: On top of that, you have the best stage and
Speaker 1: the best auditorium, the best acoustics anywhere around. And I
Speaker 1: challenged anybody to find better in Tulsa or Oklahoma City.
Speaker 3: We've got it right here.
Speaker 4: In bartles you know. One day I was I was
Speaker 4: used to live in Chicago. Oh you did. We'll have
Speaker 4: to talk about this, we wrap this up.

Speaker 3: This was in Indianapolis at the indian.
Speaker 4: Out of State Fair, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: Seventies something, and I was just blown away.
Speaker 1: I thought, you know that when you had people make records,
Speaker 1: they did things to make you sound better, and they do, yeah,
Speaker 1: but these guys didn't have that on stage. They just
Speaker 1: sounded just like the records, and I could not get
Speaker 1: over that. I said, my goodness sakes, they sound the
Speaker 1: same live as they do on the records. This is incredible.
Speaker 4: How did they look young in California? Ish and much.
Speaker 3: Younger than they do now.
Speaker 1: They were in their their forties at that time, so
Speaker 1: they were still relatively young.
Speaker 4: Well these guys, it looks.

Speaker 4: everybody it looks so young, yes, yeah, and forties. God

Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh, and I was thinking I was going to do
Speaker 4: this after this little stit.
Speaker 3: It was going to be a career change.
Speaker 4: But now I've changed my mind.
Speaker 1: Not everybody does what I do. They're different things. Not
Speaker 1: everybody does that. No, just a couple of us crazy people.
Speaker 1: But anyway, this is going to be a great show.
Speaker 1: So I'm it's all my calendar to do.
Speaker 4: I hope you come.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be awesome.

Speaker 1: How does that process work because you guys keep coming
Speaker 1: up with all these big things that are you know
Speaker 1: that any other town would just like die to have.
Speaker 3: I mean, so that must be some meeting that you
Speaker 3: folks have depict you know.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I've stepped away for five years, so
Speaker 2: I can only base this on historical ways they picked it.
Speaker 4: It's the same.
Speaker 2: You know, an organization that they use its Allied Concert
Speaker 2: Association and they they put on screen with attached music and.
Speaker 4: We and it's voted on wow. So not everybody agrees, sure,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 3: But Joys come up with the best.
Speaker 5: Choices absolutely, because it's a collective.
Speaker 2: Effort for sure, you know, and uh, even if you
Speaker 2: think you wouldn't like it when you go to the car.
Speaker 4: And I can say this because I was on the
Speaker 4: board and I would go.
Speaker 2: Maybe there was a band that I didn't choose, and
Speaker 2: I of course I went because I'm part of the board.
Speaker 2: I loved it, even if I even if I didn't
Speaker 2: think it was for me, you know, the music was
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 4: For I loved it. And there's nothing like live entertainment.
Speaker 3: You know, you can't put it. You can't put a
Speaker 3: value on No.
