take because your supports have a station name. Yeah, and uh,
I wanted something simple. How much you can't go more
simple than that?
Speaker 1: Yes? Well, you could have gone with an unpronounceable symbol

Speaker 1: Well, I don't mean like physically dangerous, like you've heard anybody,
I just mean in terms of your performance and and wow,
this is this is great now.
Speaker 2: The songs that I've chosen, some of them are very powerful,
some are very meaningful. I choose my songs to the
mood that I am, and I like to have a
variety because I do everything except for raps. So I
do any artists pretty much, any artists, as long as
it's a song that I want to air. Uh my, my,
My concerts are are totally family oriented.

Speaker 2: I am. Yes, my wild times are gone.
Speaker 1: Yes. No, you're a good You're a good inspiration for
the youth. What is your demographic? Would you say, like,
are you are you going for that eighteen to forty
nine demographic or what's your what's your demo?
Speaker 2: I'm really shocked. I'm very big with the college crowd. Yes,
soon I understand that. But maybe it's because of the
music that I'm playing and I'm in tune with them. Yes,
I do have a following with the young people who
go to Emthince for example. Oh so I always they
always come to the Goat and it's very encouraging. Yes,
and I but my my range is from you can
be from five years old to ninety nine.
Speaker 1: That's quite arranged, Glenn, that's quite a range.
Speaker 2: And the songs that I do are from nineteen twenty
to twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Although I don't think you're your typical ninety nine year
old probably can't hear you. Well, they have ear ring,
they do well, they do have they can do implants.
Iniars now, I guess, but.
Speaker 2: I don't think I see people that old that are there, right,
But I do see a lot of seniors.
Speaker 1: You, but you don't see ninet nine year old people
at the goat No, I no, okay, now the goat? Right?
And you do meet and greets too, right.
Speaker 2: Yes, act to well, not when I do careok, when
I after my concerts.
Speaker 1: Yes, after your concerts. So is there like a fee
for that?
Speaker 2: No? Oh okay, no, and I haven't. I don't sign
in autographs yet. I'm not there yet. I don't want
my picture on a postcard. Really they want me to
do that or T shirt. It's coming, but yeah, it's
just not me. I'm a simple guy. I'm a regular citizen.
And I'll have to get I'll have to grow out
of it, I guess, but I'll never forget who I am,
and I'll always think of the people first.
Speaker 1: Always think of the people first. Remember your roots. You know,
you see the same people on your way down that
you saw the way up. Yeah, So that's important.
Speaker 2: Here's a question for the audience. Yes, when I do
the dance, the last dance, it's by Daniel BETTIPETI I
don't know if I'm pronouncing that right, but uh, and
I do it in English, parts of it in French,
and then the last paragraph is done in a different language,
and no one's figured out which language it is yet.
At the end of the show, I will tell.
Speaker 1: You so you but you saved that part for the
last paragraph of the song.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's specific.
Speaker 1: Yes, I understand. Okay, So what would you like to perform? First?
For us, We'll let Glenn.
Speaker 2: Come what may from from the uge.
Speaker 1: Now, for people watching the video, I should explain because
they're about to see something unusual that they don't see
typically on the program. I'm going to actually turn this
monitor toward you so they I believe it's pronounce mulan rouge.
Speaker 2: Correct. Yes, I'm French.
Speaker 1: Yes, because you said it like like some people, you
know lame is that they pronounce it less miserables because they.
Speaker 2: Don't know is it up? Yes, French.
Speaker 1: Yes, you're French, so you know you know the right
way to and.
Speaker 2: You'll find that I really am French. At the point
that they say, oh, he really rolls his ours.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people, I can't roll my rs.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know any any French really, I know like
we we, I know like uh we we.
Speaker 2: Uh pepee pooh pooh, oh my god.
Speaker 1: That's about it. Okay. So so what we're gonna do is,
so I'm gonna start the song and then going to
as quickly as I can. I'm going to turn the
monitor towards you so that you can read the lyrics.
Do you are are any of the songs that you
do live? Have you memorized the paragraphs as you say?
Speaker 2: Yes, some of them?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: The thing is is that right now in my right
eyes eight line oh and uh and I uh and
I know about a thousand songs, and at my age,
you're not going to know a thousand songs by heart.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 2: So that's a handicap for me, and so I'm using
it as my benefit for me to perform I need
in case if I get the words, they're there.
Speaker 1: I was recently reading a study about neurology and memory
and so forth, and apparently the uh, it's estimated the
average musician is able to memorize somewhere between nine hundred
and fifty and nine hundred and seventy five songs. So
if you're going for a thousand, yeah, you're kind of
you're you're over the you're over the cap. I read
that online somewhere, so obviously it's true. Okay, let me
get the volume up here. So I'm going to start
the song, and as quickly as I can, I'm gonna turn.
I'm gonna turn this monitor, and then we'll be ready
to go. If you are just joining us, we have
will let Glenn the artist, am I said? Is it?
Is it the artist will let Glenn? Or is it
will let Glenn the artist? Or does it matter?
Speaker 2: Well, Glend the artist is fine.
Speaker 1: And is there a comma involved or a dash or
how do you? Okay, just will let lend the artists?
Speaker 2: Okay, I will tell you that I do my own
special effects.
Speaker 1: You do special effects?
Speaker 2: Yes, you'll hear.
Speaker 1: It like like like you make noises?
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh I do like instruments, Oh uh I I do.
I do an opening, a closing.
Speaker 5: What they do?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 2: But they do what a normal artist has for the music,
for the for the for the openings in that the
middle when it's just music. Yes, I do something, Oh
you do. I'll need to continue singing, adding my own
words all my songs at cover songs, okay, which makes
them my song?
Speaker 1: Right? How do you what's your logic behind that? How
does that make your song?
Speaker 2: If I ever chose to do an album, m I
can't use every word it's in that song. That's plasury.
Oh so I have to use.
Speaker 1: You don't want to commit pleasuring?
Speaker 2: No, I have to do. I have to do a
cover song.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, first reality, right, I understand. Have you ever
considered writing your own songs, your own music? You're a
creative guy.
Speaker 2: Yes, I have. I now have a software that was
installed two weeks ago and I'm learning how to use it,
and I'll actually be able to do my own album
at home. I have my own studio with the house.
Oh very good, very good, own mix and everything.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, right, I was gonna sugget. I mean,
someone of your caliber you might want to consider, you
know well, but it costs a lot of money to
actually recorded.
Speaker 2: Everything's digital today, yes, so you don't see no more
tapes than CDs that much? Right, right, my music would
become out digital. I'm now talking with Spotify. If I
could get on Spotify, that would be great.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, who are you talking with at Spotify? Or
he's talking to the head guy there, mister Spotify himself.
Speaker 2: Probably not they they said they they they sign me.
Someone need to go right to the top.
Speaker 1: Glenn, Okay, talk to mister Spotify. I think his first
name is Bill.

my dad would take me to church, they would do
songs at Saint John's, but they weren't like instead of
I mean they would they would be there would be
some religiou hymns, but there was also you know, the
ones you're used to hearing, but there would also be
these other songs that like because they had a band
that they would play live, and they would do these
songs that were not like classic religious hymns like share
a little bit of your love. You ever hear that one?

at all about that? Do they approve of you as
a Roman Catholic doing Southern Baptist songs?

I feel like it's about uh, it's about the supernatural,
Like he's threatening to be a ghost and haunt this person.
You know, I'm the shadow on the ground. I mean
that's creepy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about the part of about don't make a sound. Yeah,
that kind of creeped me out a bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be a good Halloween SONGA I.
Speaker 2: Added that, Oh you had it. It came right behind
the shadow things, so it made sense.
Speaker 1: Oh that, yes, shadow on the ground don't make a sound.
Speaker 2: Remember I make these songs in my own spooky.
Speaker 1: You made the song spooky. I like that a little,
a little halloween swist.
Speaker 2: Known that I also need it a little bit spiritual
that you've lost someone.
Speaker 1: I may have taken it the wrong way.
Speaker 2: I'm still there.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm sorry. Sometimes I misinterpret thing, but that's
something about art, right, you know, you can you can
interpret it different ways, you know. And I uh choose
to interpret that as somebody dies and they come back
as a ghost and they're haunting the person doing scary things,
and it's like it turns into like an Amityville horror
kind of situation.
Speaker 2: Created than I guess.
Speaker 1: So oh, by the way, so speaking of creativity, So
our friend, you know Dan Dan Randlett also known as
Dan Randall of Dan Randall and the Randlets. He also
has a stage name. Yes, he says in the chat room,
this is a masterclass vocal control reminiscent of later Sinatra
or even Tony Bennett, amazingly beautiful in a style we
don't necessarily hear in this day and age, all without
auto tune and other overprocessing.
Speaker 2: And I do both those artists very well.
Speaker 1: Yes, you do, and you're humble about it.
Speaker 2: Now why shouldn't I be? I was raised with that music.
I was born in pitchy two.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, so all right, well, very good? You want
to do another one. I don't know if we're going
to get through all of these necessarily, but I know
the audience wants to hear more.
Speaker 4: One is.
Speaker 2: Actually it's better Roses, it's ben Jovi.
Speaker 1: Oh, this song makes me blush when I hear it.
I wonder if I'll have that reaction when you sing it.
Speaker 2: It's a long song.
Speaker 1: This is a long song, probably bon Jovi's longest song.
Is that why you chose it?
Speaker 2: Probably my longest?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: I like this song? Yes, yes, every song I do
is a challenge, and I love a challenge.
Speaker 1: Yes. He also uses a stage name. Did you know that?
Speaker 4: What is he?
Speaker 1: John bon Jovi? Is not his real name?
Speaker 4: Probably not.
Speaker 1: I believe it's uh uh Bonjie of bon Giovi. I
think it's bon Giovi, but uh but he made it
bon Jovi. All right, So uh so this is Beat
of Roses? And why this song, Glen? It's very romantic?
Speaker 2: First of all, I am a romantic.
Speaker 1: I've heard that about.
Speaker 2: Yes again. The songs that I sing and what I
injected them is my life. Okay, how I've lived my life?

this song?
