Speaker 9: If you're just joining us, Willie Chases here with us

26
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:09,840
live in studio on this Saturday morning.

27
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 8: That's very cold Saturday morning. But yeah, that's how new

28
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:14,759
was that.

29
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,639
Speaker 9: You said you just wrote that with a friend who

30
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,079
didn't know you were going to play it today.

31
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 8: Is that true?

32
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: That's pretty accurate.

33
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:24,759
Speaker 10: We just had our last co writing session maybe a

34
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,480
week ago, and I had written the song thread probably

35
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,759
five or six months ago. It sat for a while

36
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,920
in my in my voice notes on iPhone, as a

37
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:39,199
lot of them do, and then I threw it over

38
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:42,439
to my friend Ian Gallipo, who's from the Keen area,

39
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,759
and he liked it, kind of wrote a chorus to it,

40
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:49,319
maybe some verse parts I think, and then we just

41
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,000
put our heads together over a video chat and kind

42
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,759
of hammered it out. I had written that bridge, and yeah,

43
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,319
it kind of came together, and then I was kind

44
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:00,720
of like, holy cow of a song, you know what

45
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:02,920
I mean? Yeah, which is a really cool moment as

46
00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:03,480
a songwriter.

47
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,959
Speaker 9: I feel like Ian Gallipo is a name that's come

48
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,959
up on the show. I don't think he's ever been on.

49
00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:10,079
I wlways say I don't think he's ever been on,

50
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:12,319
because it does become I've been doing this a long time.

51
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,959
It does become a little bit of a blur, of course,

52
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,199
but I don't think he's been on the show, but

53
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,959
I feel like his name comes up a lot on

54
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,439
the show.

55
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's awesome. So I work a lot with the

56
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,879
New Hampshire Music Collective.

57
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 8: That might be how I've why I've heard his name.

58
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:26,439
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, so he's he's, you know, a member of

59
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,680
the collective as well, does all sorts of stuff with

60
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,399
that and other things. But that's how I met him.

61
00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:33,759
And he's great man. If you've never heard his song

62
00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:36,519
little Things, check it out. It's a gut wrencher be

63
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,240
ready to cry. Yeah, but he's just an incredible lyricist.

64
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,000
He's an incredible musician and a down to earth guy.

65
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,879
You know, he's really enjoyable to be around. So I

66
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:48,480
had a really good experience writing with him, you know,

67
00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:51,120
in the level that I'm at right now, there's no

68
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,680
skin in the game really, you know what I mean.

69
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,720
I'm kind of just starting out on the songwriting journey

70
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,680
over the last few years really. Yeah, And I've been

71
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,600
a musician my whole life. I can fill you in

72
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,560
on the back story if you want, But with the end,

73
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,920
it's just great because we it's just pure creativity, you

74
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,399
know what I mean. Two musicians hanging out writing a song,

75
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,040
there's no pressure to do anything. And for whatever reason,

76
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,040
I was just kind of had that feeling when we

77
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,319
were doing that together, and and that's what it's all

78
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:17,839
about for me. Yeah, those kind of experiences and writing

79
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,240
music and being just purely creative, no doubt.

80
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 9: So you you've been a musician for a long time,

81
00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:26,000
as you said, but you only started writing songs a

82
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:26,639
few years ago.

83
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I quote unquote have written other stuff.

84
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 8: Yeah.

85
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,319
Speaker 10: I was a horn player in high school. I was

86
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:35,959
our class instrumentalist. I was in like every music group,

87
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:38,639
did all of it, show choir, I did a lot

88
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:39,000
of theater.

89
00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:40,759
Speaker 1: I was.

90
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 10: I started in high school musical when I was in

91
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:46,879
high school, all sorts of you know of stuff to

92
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,000
lead me on my musical journey. And then I kinda

93
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:51,519
I kind of went a totally different direction for the

94
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,839
last decade. I got a degree in resort management and

95
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:57,079
have worked at ski resorts and done all men or

96
00:06:57,079 --> 00:06:58,800
of other things. But I never put down the guitar.

97
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:00,920
That's kind of what kept it alive for me. And

98
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:02,959
then yeah, like three years ago, I had a really

99
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:04,920
good friend who was living around here, and she convinced

100
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,959
me to go to an open mic up at Patrick's

101
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,319
Pub in Guildford, New Hampshire. That's where I met John MacArthur,

102
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,040
who's one of the owners of the New Hampshire Music Collective.

103
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, we had him on the show. He's great.

104
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's awesome. Can't say enough good things about him.

105
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,639
And you know, especially in this context with the opportunities

106
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:21,519
he's given me playing a lot of these bar gigs

107
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:25,959
and stuff around here, which is just it's like with anything, right,

108
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,360
if you want to be really good, you got to

109
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,399
just put in time and hard work. It's kind of

110
00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:31,199
the grind that I've been on these last few years

111
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:34,759
since doing that. And then you know, I've, like I said,

112
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:36,279
I've been a musician my whole life, and I have

113
00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:39,319
a really I lean really heavily on my ear, Yeah,

114
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:41,720
and I can be judgmental in that way. So I think,

115
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:44,439
as most musicians will probably tell you, there's a lot

116
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,279
of stuff that goes on with songwriting in terms of

117
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,399
being hyper critical of yourself and self confidence, releasing tracks

118
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:50,839
and everything.

119
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a slow process.

120
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 10: But I'm in early production of making a record hopefully,

121
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,839
and you know, that might be one of the songs

122
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:00,319
that's going to be on it. Oh, I hope. So yeah, yeah,

123
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:02,720
it deserves it. That's totally good. Yeah, that's very kind

124
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,600
of neat to say. I yeah, it's it's something I'm

125
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,240
really interested in. But like I said, it's it's just

126
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:09,040
tough not to be able to overly critical. But at

127
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,680
this point in my life, on my early thirties, I

128
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:15,560
feel like it's a really good place to be doing

129
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:18,360
what I'm doing with music. I think that if I

130
00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:21,079
had gone right into music school like I kind of

131
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,240
wanted to after high school, after doing all that stuff,

132
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,120
I don't think it would have gone well. I think

133
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,839
I was on the edge of burnt out really because yeah,

134
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:30,360
I mean we had jazz band practices every morning before school.

135
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,960
At six forty, it was taking trumpet lessons. It's just

136
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,120
completely saturated in music. Yeah, and not really knowing you know,

137
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:39,799
at that point in my life, you know, late teens,

138
00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:42,759
early twenties, you're just figuring out who you are, right.

139
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,000
So all the experiences I've had over the last ten

140
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,960
years of not being involved in music, I think have

141
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,519
just fueled this crazy fire that I have now to

142
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,120
write and collaborate with people and just really like I

143
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,360
just started taking guitar lessons a couple, you know, maybe

144
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,600
a month or two ago with a really great guy.

145
00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:01,440
So I'm actually put some of the old theory knowledge

146
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,799
that I have to use with like the fifteen years

147
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:06,720
of guitar playing, just playing songs that I like to

148
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,039
hear and play. Yeah, So it just feels really, really awesome,

149
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:12,600
and I'm really grateful to be here doing what I'm

150
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:13,159
doing now.

151
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,879
Speaker 9: You know, during the span of time where you you know,

152
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:18,720
you had kind of gotten away from it all, did

153
00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:21,759
you always kind of know that you would come back

154
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:24,519
to it, or did you really at the time kind

155
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:26,879
of feel like you know that was you know, I'm

156
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,759
sort of done with that.

157
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,039
Speaker 8: I'm sort of burnt out on it.

158
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 10: If you asked me that question years ago, I probably

159
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,960
would have told you the latter. I probably would have

160
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,080
told you now, you know, And I think that comes

161
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,080
from being jaded and my no, through no fault of

162
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,639
his own, my trumpet teacher was one of the ones

163
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:44,440
who convinced me not to go to school for like

164
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,919
performance really yeah, which how much of that was actually

165
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,279
him and how much of it was in my head,

166
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,720
I can't really tell you, but you know, and his point.

167
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: Was very valid.

168
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 10: You know, forty years ago there was just so many

169
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,919
horn players working in places like New York Boss. You know,

170
00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:01,159
all these clubs and theaters have live orchestras, and now

171
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,759
it's just a percentage of what that was. So yeah,

172
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:07,399
the statistics just make it pretty daunting. Yeah, but I

173
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,360
think subconsciously, very deep down there, to answer your question,

174
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:13,000
I think it was inevitable of coming back to music.

175
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just such a part of me.

176
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,799
Speaker 10: It's part of who I am, been part of who

177
00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:19,960
I am since a very young age. And like I said,

178
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,799
you know, I rely heavily on my ear. I don't

179
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,200
like to say I have a good ear because it's

180
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,320
like what does that mean? But I just the way

181
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,159
I hear music and interpret music is so ingrained with

182
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,960
everything else about me, and it affects my you know, emotions,

183
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,879
it affects my goals, it affects you know. So I

184
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:36,639
think it was it was inevitable.

185
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 8: Yeah, no doubt. Well I'm dying to hear another one.

186
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,279
If you want to play another live shirt chorus, Yeah,

187
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,600
if you're just joining.

188
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,519
Speaker 9: Us, will he chases here with us alive in studio

189
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,360
and playing some stuff and that guitar sounds.

190
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 8: I love the way that guitar sounds.

191
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:51,879
Speaker 1: Thanks man. Yeah, it's uh.

192
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:55,639
Speaker 10: Since you can't see it, it's a rain song, fully

193
00:10:55,639 --> 00:10:59,240
composite guitar. It's fully made of carbon fiber, and really yeah,

194
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:03,120
the whole thing that, the bridge, the body, everything, the

195
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:05,799
whole thing's carbon fiber. And the reason I got it

196
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:07,720
was I've I've got an old tailor that I really

197
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,279
really love, which you know, it's not a special instrument

198
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,519
by most people's standards, but it is to me. And

199
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:14,879
playing all these gigs, like playing outside a lot, playing

200
00:11:14,919 --> 00:11:18,559
around campfires all my friends, was just getting trashed. So

201
00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:20,399
you know, I saved up some tip money and got

202
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,519
this thing, and it just holds tune really consistently. I

203
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,120
don't have to worry as much about it. But it

204
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:27,039
turns out that despite all of that, it's a really

205
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,159
fun guitar to play, and it sounds great plugged in.

206
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,480
You know, it's a little tinny acoustically if you're gonna

207
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,200
make it up, because it's not very it's pretty cold,

208
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,679
but right, right, So this next song, I go a

209
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,679
bunch of different directions, so forgive me, but this is

210
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:44,879
what I like to call cheap country song. But this

211
00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:47,399
this song, it has some country roots, but it's it's

212
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,480
it's deeper than that. It's about kind of being in

213
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,919
a bad place. And this vision I had of of,

214
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:56,120
you know, if I didn't kind of get my act

215
00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:58,600
together and you know, have a few less beers and

216
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,399
stop feeling sorry for myself. It was kind of a

217
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:02,440
place where I was gonna end up. So it's a

218
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,360
little bit about that. But yeah, this song is called

219
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,919
I don't know what this song is called. Oh I

220
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:11,519
guess it's called Pushing my Luck something like that. Okay,

221
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,679
so it's a country song and g about that.

222
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,759
Speaker 8: All right, There we go Willie Chase Live.

Speaker 1: Voice, appreciate it.

265
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,399
Speaker 9: Is there anyone who influences you vocally? Is there anyone

266
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,799
you try to kind of sound like?

267
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 10: It's probably an amalgamation of like twenty five people. Yeah, yeah,

268
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,799
there'd be some easy ones to name. But honestly, recently,

269
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,600
I've just been trying to sound like me. I think

270
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:43,480
in the past I've tried to sound country singing country

271
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,399
because of like the way I listen to music. I like,

272
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,759
if I love a song, I'll just try to play

273
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:51,000
it sound just like it, you know what I mean? Yeah,

274
00:15:51,039 --> 00:15:53,720
which gives me great satisfaction to be able to be like, yeah,

275
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,080
I can play that song right. One thing I'm kind

276
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,440
of figuring out or thinking more about now that I'm

277
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,000
writing my own stuff is just, you know, how to

278
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,440
I sound like me? How do I convey even if

279
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,840
it's that feeling? But but you know, be unique? So

280
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:09,200
but but yeah, vocally, I mean, you know, I'm sure

281
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,159
a lot of people would say this is an influence.

282
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,720
But Chris Stapleton I think has an amazing voice. You know,

283
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,960
he's he's great. I'm a little below that, so you know,

284
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,799
I would I would say another vocal influence, even though

285
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:22,480
I don't think he's a great vocalist.

286
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: I don't like being negative.

287
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,799
Speaker 10: But but David Gilmore, Yeah, you know, I think the

288
00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:30,720
way that he sang was just really soulful and honest.

289
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:31,919
Speaker 8: I know exactly what you mean.

290
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's not a great like from a technical stand right,

291
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,879
He's there's nothing great about him at all. But yeah,

292
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:39,320
but you're right though, for what he's doing, for what

293
00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:41,360
Pink Floyd is supposed to sound like.

294
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know. And I was fortunate when I

295
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,919
was younger, I had some good coaches. I had.

296
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,279
Speaker 10: One of our theater directors was a Boston Pops pianist,

297
00:16:50,279 --> 00:16:53,919
great woman, Jill Wriggles, God Rest your soul and she.

298
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,759
Speaker 1: You know, that was a lot of like theater based stuff.

299
00:16:56,799 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 10: So yeah, I think from early on I had a

300
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,519
good foundation of like brief and you know, despite the

301
00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:04,319
fact that I'm sitting back in my chair, like sitting

302
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,720
on that sit on the front of your chair, like

303
00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:09,200
put vocal support, you know, sting out. And then also

304
00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:12,480
YouTube great, there's great like vocal instructors on YouTube that

305
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:14,759
can give you tips on warming up and all this stuff.

306
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:18,240
So yeah, I don't know if that answered your question,

307
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:19,279
but oh definitely.

308
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 9: I don't know if you notice I kind of reacted

309
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,599
when he said Chris Stapleton because if I were to

310
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,119
choose all the singer songwriters we've had on the show

311
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,319
over the years, if I were to choose the number

312
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,079
one name that comes up in conversation as far as influence,

313
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,279
it's Chris Staple.

314
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,599
Speaker 1: Hi, everybody, He's a monster.

315
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:40,079
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean just you know, in the years he

316
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,839
spent writing before he was, you know, pop famous. I

317
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,920
especially like his stuff he did with the Steel Drivers.

318
00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:51,319
Speaker 8: I've never I've never heard any of that Steel Drivers.

319
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,559
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're they're a bluegrass group and he was he

320
00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:54,920
was there frontman and guitarist.

321
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 8: I didn't even know that. Huh.

322
00:17:57,319 --> 00:17:57,519
Speaker 1: Yeah.

323
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,559
Speaker 10: Check it out, man. They've got a bunch of great tunes.

324
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,440
Blue Side of the Mountain, Angel of the Night, that's one. Sorry,

325
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,720
I do you don't mind if I play.

Speaker 1: A few minutes.

327
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 3: No, go ahead, I love it.

328
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:13,839
Speaker 1: This is the steel Driver's Angel of the Night.

329
00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 4: Well, the music is playing in you had the Whiskey Saloon.

330
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:28,720
It comes through my window. I like my favorite tune.

331
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,880
I could walk down stairway, I can walk down the street,

332
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,680
laid down my money. Well it's not brod, I.

333
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: Mean, let me fly on.

334
00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:56,759
Speaker 4: Your ways, right, these earthly things they did all be

335
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,640
all right? Angel of the Night.

336
00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's that's Chris Stapleton and the steel Drivers.

337
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 9: I've heard that song. I had no idea who it was,

338
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,680
but I recognize that song.

339
00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:11,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, great tune.

340
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,039
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, no, that's that's really good. That's really good.

341
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:15,920
You do a lot of when you play live. Do

342
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,000
you do a lot of covers or yeah?

343
00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 10: Mostly covers. Yeah, I've got almost an hour of original

344
00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:22,640
music that can do. I'll stretch it and do a

345
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,880
little storytelling. Yeah yeah, but uh but yeah, mostly covers.

346
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,920
I mean, you know, for the for the gigs that

347
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,799
I'm doing right now, you know, the main point is

348
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:33,039
entertaining everybody at the bar and stuff, and you know,

349
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,680
oftentimes people respond well to my music, which is you know,

350
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,799
just great and validating, and but you know, people want

351
00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:41,799
to hear what they want to hear, right when they're

352
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,920
having a beer, which is which I totally understand, and

353
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,440
I think I kind of love that. You know, I

354
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,880
look at those gigs as a challenge. You know, how

355
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,319
do you get people's interest, How do you get foot

356
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,319
feet tapping? You know, how do you get people turning

357
00:19:53,319 --> 00:19:54,759
around and going, whoa, who's this guy?

358
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: Right or whatever?

359
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 10: And that's a challenge to me. And I mean, you know,

360
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,440
that's that's how you make tips. Any performer will tell you.

361
00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:04,200
But yeah, financially it's a good strategy. But but that's

362
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,079
you know, from the beginning, that's always been the fun part.

363
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,720
It's like, how do you get people to notice you?

364
00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:10,960
Because that means they're enjoying it, right, They're having a

365
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,240
cool experience, they're listening to the music.

366
00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no doubt.

367
00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 9: How did you get involved with the with John MacArthur

368
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:22,920
and the Collective because that's again such a great organization.

369
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,519
And we had John on the show, and you know,

370
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:26,480
we've had a lot of musicians on the show who

371
00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:29,559
who work with them. And John, by the way, is

372
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,000
he's very very busy. Like when he told us we

373
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,200
were talking about the events, how many events they do,

374
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,640
and he told us the number that he personally is

375
00:20:39,799 --> 00:20:40,599
at running.

376
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,519
Speaker 8: It's like, dude, you don't sleep.

377
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 9: It's staggering, which I which I admire, you know, But

378
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,000
but but how did how did you get involved?

379
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:49,039
Speaker 1: Yeah?

380
00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:52,039
Speaker 10: So I I met John He I mean now hosts,

381
00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:54,279
but he goes to open mics around and kind of

382
00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:56,079
you know, looks for talent a little bit, I think,

383
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,519
But uh, yeah, I met him at Patrick's Pub, Guildford.

384
00:21:01,599 --> 00:21:04,400
We kind of hit it off and exchanged information. And

385
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,680
you know, at that point, I didn't have three hours

386
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,599
of consistent songs that I could play that were all.

387
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: Polished and yeah and done. You know. So it took

388
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,240
me a little while, but I played a bunch of.

389
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,279
Speaker 10: Volking mics and and got my act together, and you know,

390
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,680
John and I kind of became friends. He would, uh,

391
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:20,559
he would give me a call. We live pretty close

392
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:22,000
to each other up there in the Lakes region, so

393
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:22,720
he'd give me a call.

394
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: We'd go out and see somebody.

395
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,759
Speaker 10: You know, I'm I'm not afraid to share my opinion

396
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:29,759
about other people, I guess in a friendship situation, which

397
00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:31,839
is but you know, I've been around a lot of

398
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,119
music in my life and been around really good musicians

399
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,920
and and you know, regardless of whatever whatever I play,

400
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,480
I think I have a pretty good idea of you know,

401
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:42,720
who's doing what or who's who's been practicing.

402
00:21:42,759 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: That's really all that comes down, right.

403
00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 10: But yeah, so we would go off for fun and

404
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,799
and you know, he would kind of ask my opinion

405
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:51,119
about people. And you know, I'm not trying to say

406
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,519
that I'm judging and jury but or anything, but we

407
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,279
just kind of enjoyed it. You know, we enjoyed each

408
00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:57,920
other's presence and hanging out and talking about music and

409
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,599
and and John's just such a great guy.

410
00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:02,839
Speaker 1: You know, he's you.

411
00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 10: Know, in an in an industry that and I haven't

412
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,000
experienced this really, but in an industry there's a reportedly

413
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,839
very cutthroat people will say about music and arts and

414
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,400
you know, getting gigs and stuff. John is just somebody

415
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,920
who genuinely cares about everybody he works with. He genuinely

416
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,920
wants everybody to succeed. And he'll give you an opportunity

417
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,160
if you're working hard, no matter you know, who we are,

418
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:24,960
what you look like, what you're doing, what kind of

419
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,480
music you're playing. He's just able to recognize people who

420
00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:30,839
are there for the right reasons and are working hard.

421
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,400
So I really respect that about John and his partner Brad,

422
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,400
who is the other half of the New Hampshire Music Collective,

423
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,880
who's an unbelievable guitarist. I'll have to recommend you his

424
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,960
him for the show too. But yeah, but but yeah,

425
00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:46,000
just John. You know, John's awesome, so from there, you know,

426
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,880
he he was gracious enough to give me some gigs

427
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,240
and you know, and I can.

428
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: Crush the bargain pretty well.

429
00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:55,319
Speaker 10: I have a lot of nineties tunes and I just

430
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,200
I know, so like I just listened to so many

431
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,759
different types of music that I have this kind of

432
00:22:59,799 --> 00:23:02,799
weird catalog. But it works great for that situation, right

433
00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:04,319
because you never know who's going to be in there.

434
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 8: Yeah.

435
00:23:05,519 --> 00:23:07,519
Speaker 10: Certain, you know, you think a lot of country, but

436
00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:09,960
then like you play something yeah anyway, you know you

437
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,799
know what I'm saying. Oh yeah, yeah, So I've done

438
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:14,000
pretty well with the bar gigs and we have a

439
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:14,640
great thing going.

440
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: You know. I love working with those guys. It yeah

441
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,039
helps me. It's a great side hustle.

442
00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:22,519
Speaker 10: I do still have a day job, unfortunately, but but yeah, no,

443
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:23,160
it's awesome.

444
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:23,559
Speaker 1: All around.

445
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 9: It's so important to find people who are who are

446
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:28,759
positive and honest, and you know, there are a lot

447
00:23:28,759 --> 00:23:31,640
of sharks, you know, so to be able to connect

448
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,480
with somebody like John and the NH Music Collective, it's

449
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:35,240
so important.

450
00:23:35,599 --> 00:23:37,839
Speaker 8: When we had Rebecca Turmel.

451
00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 9: On the show and we were talking about that too,

452
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,079
because it's I do feel like there, you know. I mean,

453
00:23:44,079 --> 00:23:46,200
there's there's some people you want to avoid, but I

454
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,880
think generally, I think the music scene, at least around here,

455
00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:52,440
is people are pretty supportive of each other and want

456
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,720
to work together and uplift each other. I always contrast

457
00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:59,440
it with I've listened to some podcasts over the years

458
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,920
of stand up comics, and that my impression of that

459
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:04,839
world of stand up comedy. I mean, it's all part

460
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,039
of live entertainment, but stand up comedy, as far as

461
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:11,039
I can tell, is very cutthroat, like everyone secretly hates

462
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:13,559
each other, everyone secretly wants to see each other fail,

463
00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:15,960
you know what I mean. That's just the impression that

464
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,039
I get, the vibe that I get from it. Whereas

465
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,000
I think, yeah, there's there's always people you want to

466
00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:23,920
be careful of, but I think generally people are pretty

467
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,640
supportive in the music scene and yeah, cool, you know,

468
00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:29,480
and and why not be you know, it doesn't, right,

469
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,880
none of it's a zero sum game. You know, life

470
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,839
is not a zero s game. Just because somebody else

471
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,599
is being successful, that doesn't take something away from you.

472
00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:41,839
If anything, it should inspire you to maybe be able

473
00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:42,880
to do what they're doing.

474
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:42,839
Speaker 8: You know.

475
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:45,799
Speaker 10: So absolutely, that's a great perspective. And that's been my

476
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,000
experience or in the music scene around here. And I'm

477
00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:50,079
sure you've seen way more than I've been exposed to.

478
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,920
But yeah, so it's it's great. I think we got

479
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:52,720
a great thing going.

480
00:24:52,519 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: On here, you know what I mean?

481
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 8: Yeah? Absolutely, yeah, absolutely fun. You want to play another one?

482
00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: Sure? Yeah, yeah, definitely if you're just joining us.

483
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,519
Speaker 8: We have Willie Chase with us live in studio. Oh,

484
00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:05,240
let me get that on.

485
00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: I make sure those things are tuned too. It's cold outside, it.

486
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,799
Speaker 9: Is, yeah, I think it's the coldest morning we've had

487
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:15,960
this season so far.

488
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:19,319
Speaker 1: I believe it. Yeah, there's plenty of ice on my truck.

489
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 10: Yeah, after sixty in raining what three days ago?

490
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: I know, right, that's this song.

491
00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 10: I've been playing this song out a little bit. This

492
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,640
is another song I wrote after coming out of a

493
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,960
hard place. This is kind of about just being who

494
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,359
you are and getting back to yourself and away from

495
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,720
other toxic people.

496
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is called back to me.

503
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 4: I'm coming back to me, watching through the window page

504
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:40,759
and trying to sleep, wondering if the rain could wash

505
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:57,440
you from my sheets. Oh time, never ever gonna come

506
00:27:57,599 --> 00:27:58,519

Speaker 3: I'm coming back to me.

510
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 8: Very nice, very nice.

511
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,799
Speaker 9: Willie Chase is here with us live in studio, sounding great.

512
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,119
And yeah, I think that's a universal theme, you know.

513
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,240
I think we've all had that that moment.

514
00:28:49,599 --> 00:28:53,079
Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely, And if you haven't, well you know it's coming.

515
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,000
That's right, that's right.

516
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, man, that that was that came from a dark place,

517
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,359
for sure. But there's always light at the end of

518
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,079
the tunnel, I guess.

519
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well it could be an oncoming train.

520
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:05,440
You never know.

521
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,759
Speaker 1: Sometimes it is sometimes.

522
00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:11,359
Speaker 8: It is no. No, I really like that a lot.

523
00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:13,599
Are you playing out a lot? Are you doing a

524
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,079
lot of shows? It sounds like you are.

525
00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:15,559
Speaker 1: I am.

526
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, probably coming up on sixty or seventy book for

527
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,039
next year already, wow, And yeah, pretty much every weekend.

528
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 8: Good.

529
00:29:24,079 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 10: Been a little bit of a light stretch right now.

530
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:30,079
I really just this past like August, I really kind

531
00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:32,519
of had a revelatory moment where I decided I was

532
00:29:32,519 --> 00:29:36,480
just gonna say no to nothing and say yes to

533
00:29:36,559 --> 00:29:40,440
everything and just kind of give everything I had, you know, yeah,

534
00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:43,000
because yeah, this is what I want to do for

535
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,039
the rest of my life. Yeah, and I'm planning on

536
00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:47,839
it so good through a set of experiences that I

537
00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:50,279
don't have to go into, you know, that song came

538
00:29:50,319 --> 00:29:53,519
out of and dedication and so yeah, I've I've.

539
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:56,039
Speaker 1: Been playing pretty much every weekend. We've had a couple

540
00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:57,279
of really cool shows. Recently.

541
00:29:57,359 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 10: We had a singer songwriter competition up there in Guilford

542
00:30:01,559 --> 00:30:05,759
and then John put together John MacArthur put together a

543
00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:07,839
show at the BNH Stage and Conquered where all the

544
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,880
finalists from that competition came and played and played with them.

545
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,720
We did a couple numbers together and it was really fun.

546
00:30:13,759 --> 00:30:15,920
I mean, just what a group of talented people.

547
00:30:16,079 --> 00:30:20,559
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, excellent. Do you always play? Is it always

548
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,359
just you? Or does anyone ever join you?

549
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

550
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,839
Speaker 10: I've got a couple of different settings. I mean, most

551
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,759
of the stuff I book is solo. But there's a

552
00:30:27,799 --> 00:30:31,480
shop in Laconia called NH Vintage Vinyl. This guy, Dan

553
00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:33,880
McLaughlin owns it, Dan mack He's a friend of mine.

554
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,440
He plays bass, so he comes out. We do a

555
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,720
really cool duo. We do like a bunch of grunge

556
00:30:38,319 --> 00:30:41,039
oh stuff, so to have like you know, it's still

557
00:30:41,079 --> 00:30:44,000
kind of acoustic. But then there's a couple of different

558
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,279
groups I've played with in more of a band setting,

559
00:30:46,279 --> 00:30:50,599
but nothing, nothing super firm. I'm definitely looking to collaborate

560
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,880
more with other people and you know, getting into more

561
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,000
of a production role and self producing a lot of

562
00:30:55,039 --> 00:30:58,240
stuff just for you know, demos and yeahnt in preparation

563
00:30:58,279 --> 00:31:00,880
of going into the studio. And that's all always been

564
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,119
a h A fun thing for me is you know,

565
00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:07,079
I took a few recording engineering courses in community college

566
00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:09,519
before I kind of went went to school, and and

567
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:13,039
so knowing how to use pro tools, what I interface does,

568
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,519
and you know, spend a little money on plugins.

569
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: So I do a little bit of that.

570
00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 10: And I'm looking at you because I just playing with

571
00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:21,440
other people is magical. Yeah, you know, I think that's

572
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,200
one thing that's a little bit I don't want to

573
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,160
say it's lost, but you know, not as common these days.

574
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,440
You know, fifty years ago, you didn't have any any choice.

575
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,759
If you wanted to play with somebody else, you had

576
00:31:29,759 --> 00:31:31,920
to go in and link up with them and say, hey,

577
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,640
let's sit down and play some music. And now there's

578
00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:36,799
everything's in the Internet, and it's obviously it's you know,

579
00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:40,279
there's so many bonuses from that. But yeah, it's been

580
00:31:40,319 --> 00:31:42,599
it's been kind of tough, honestly to get people to

581
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,440
h to want to collaborate. I mean, I don't know

582
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,200
if it's a function of just the location I'm in

583
00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:49,720
or my you know, lack of outreach, I don't know,

584
00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:52,960
but but it's something I'm craving. Yeah, if you're listening

585
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,200
to this and you want to collaborate, you want to

586
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,160
play some music up.

587
00:31:55,759 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 8: Have you ever played in a full band?

588
00:31:57,799 --> 00:31:58,079
Speaker 1: Yeah?

589
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,359
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, yeah, we had with Dan Mack and then

590
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,640
we had another drummer and his name was Dan Hewitt.

591
00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:06,000
We played a couple of shows like my buddy's birthday

592
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,039
party and stuff, but we put together like two hours

593
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,000
having a killer.

594
00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:09,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

595
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,079
Speaker 10: We did this cover of Comfortably Numb and I don't know,

596
00:32:13,119 --> 00:32:14,559
I think we all shocked ourselves.

597
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,039
Speaker 1: I thought it sounded great. Yeah.

598
00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 10: And then I have another friend, another friend, Dan Fallon.

599
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,880
I don't know if you've come across him.

600
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 8: Dan's been on the show.

601
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: Yep.

602
00:32:22,359 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 10: Dan's another buddy and I've played a little bit with them.

603
00:32:24,759 --> 00:32:28,400
We played the reck Yard up in uh up at

604
00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:29,920
you know, Tower Hill, Weir's Beach.

605
00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of times. It was fun. Did a

606
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,200
couple other things, but.

607
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,119
Speaker 10: Yeah, I haven't I haven't really been like a you know,

608
00:32:37,119 --> 00:32:40,319
a standard with with anybody, but you know, hoping to

609
00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:41,279
find people and collaborate.

610
00:32:41,319 --> 00:32:43,079
Speaker 1: I'm I just kind of take it as it comes,

611
00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:43,640
you know what I mean?

612
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,519
Speaker 10: Because that's sometimes you can rush into situations and it's

613
00:32:46,519 --> 00:32:49,359
not where you want to be or you And conversely,

614
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,079
you could just sit in your apartment, play guitar.

615
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,759
Speaker 1: All day and never talk. Sometimes I find myself that's

616
00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:56,119
all a balance, right, do you?

617
00:32:56,759 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 9: As far as shows and you got out of New England,

618
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,559
at all. Have you done that yet or not?

619
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:01,319
Speaker 1: Really? Yeah?

620
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 9: No, yeah, I mean it's not it's not as though

621
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,759
there aren't a million places to play here, because there

622
00:33:05,759 --> 00:33:06,319
definitely are.

623
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:06,759
Speaker 1: True.

624
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I haven't really. I spent the last four

625
00:33:10,279 --> 00:33:14,599
winters out in Park City, Utah. Really yeah, why working

626
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:15,680
at a ski resort out there?

627
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:16,079
Speaker 8: Okay.

628
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, I've been a SnowCat operator for like twelve years,

629
00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:21,319
building train parks and grimming and stuff.

630
00:33:21,359 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: So I that's kind of the other side of my life.

631
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

632
00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 10: So I've been out there and and did like one

633
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:29,400
or two open mics and and kind of you know stuff,

634
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,799
but nothing significant outside.

635
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: Of New England. Now.

636
00:33:31,319 --> 00:33:34,319
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm getting ready though, you know, I'm geared enough

637
00:33:34,359 --> 00:33:36,200
for the big launch. But once I get some you know,

638
00:33:36,279 --> 00:33:38,400
once I get like a solid record out that I'm

639
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,640
happy with, you know, and then can release and like capitalize.

640
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,599
But I'm I'm yeah, I just I'm cool, kind of

641
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,200
cool with where I'm at now because I feel like

642
00:33:46,279 --> 00:33:48,680
I'm just racking up all these hours, right, all these

643
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,680
gigs and just like, yeah, I want to blow the

644
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,480
doors off when I go somewhere, you know what I mean.

645
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,519
Speaker 1: Right, Anyway, it's it's all it's all just fun.

646
00:33:56,559 --> 00:33:59,319
Speaker 8: But yeah, but yeah, excellent, excellent?

647
00:33:59,599 --> 00:34:01,759
Speaker 9: Is so is the goal to make an album because

648
00:34:01,799 --> 00:34:03,359
you know, we live in a time when you you know,

649
00:34:03,839 --> 00:34:05,720
people approach it all kinds of different ways.

650
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:06,519
Speaker 8: You can make an album.

651
00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:09,599
Speaker 9: You could make an EP, you could make a series

652
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:11,760
of singles that eventually becomes an album. You know, is

653
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,280
but are you is that kind of your goal is

654
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,480
to make a full album?

655
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: Creatively?

656
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,559
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think just the way that I've listened to

657
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:21,000
music always and the way that I think about music,

658
00:34:21,039 --> 00:34:23,119
I think like a song is too short for me

659
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:25,000
to convey what like a message.

660
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what I mean.

661
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,679
Speaker 10: And I understand the way the industry is, so I'd

662
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:30,199
probably release some singles, yeah, you know, once I can

663
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:34,119
get things recorded properly and whatnot, which is mostly just

664
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:40,840
you know, financial Oh. But but yeah, I think like

665
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,760
my favorite albums are the ones that you just you know,

666
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,760
front to back, right, you just put put the needle

667
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,920
down and go through it, and it tells a story

668
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:51,280
or it conveys a feeling, or even if it's just

669
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,920
totally your interpretation of it, it all fits together. I think

670
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,920
that's really beautiful. It's like a book, right, Yeah, yeah,

671
00:34:56,039 --> 00:34:58,039
people release a chapter of a book. I mean maybe,

672
00:34:58,039 --> 00:34:59,320
but that's.

673
00:34:59,159 --> 00:35:01,679
Speaker 8: A perfect and now yeah yeah, yeah.

674
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 10: So but you know, I you know, there's obviously other

675
00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:08,199
real world limitations like resources and time yea, you know,

676
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,960
and I understand, you know, singles are the big thing now.

677
00:35:11,639 --> 00:35:14,039
I think you really want to push singles and yeah,

678
00:35:14,119 --> 00:35:16,440
the way music is released and distributed, but I'm I'm

679
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,199
a long way away from that, you know what I mean.

680
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,960
I'm sure I'd love to be in a place one

681
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,440
day where that all that really, you know, matters, and

682
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,239
a lot of people are.

683
00:35:25,079 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: Listening to the music.

684
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 10: But and I gave up on I'm fantasizing too much

685
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,039
a long time ago, you know what I mean. That's

686
00:35:31,079 --> 00:35:32,559
part of what I said earlier about being in the

687
00:35:32,559 --> 00:35:34,400
position I'm in now. You know, I do just for myself,

688
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,760
and I realized that as some of those first open mics.

689
00:35:37,559 --> 00:35:39,679
It's actually just a quick story that I won that

690
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,199
songwriter competition three years ago and it took me. There's

691
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,480
eight qualifying weeks and I played all of them and

692
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,880
I didn't qualify until the very last week and went

693
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,199
to the finals and then I was I won the competition.

694
00:35:51,559 --> 00:35:53,679
Speaker 1: But the process it was all new to me.

695
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 10: I'd never performed like solo acoustic like that, and I

696
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,599
hadn't performed any type of music in twelve years, no kidding.

697
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,920
So I was like, you know, I'm gonna come in

698
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,079
here and everybody's gonna love me songs and I'm gonna

699
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:05,320
be great.

700
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be famous in two weeks, right, you know

701
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:09,840
jokingly of course.

702
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, But that taught me, you know, I realized through

703
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,559
those eight weeks, I was like, man, you know, because

704
00:36:16,559 --> 00:36:17,519
it was all about the competition.

705
00:36:17,559 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: It was new, it was freshness, was like everything to me.

706
00:36:19,599 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, and I just realized that if they weren't gonna

707
00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:25,000
let me through the finals, I didn't care because I

708
00:36:25,159 --> 00:36:26,920
just it was the only place I could go and

709
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:27,920
play music in front of people.

710
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:28,679
Speaker 1: At that point in time.

711
00:36:29,199 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 10: It was the only opportunity I had, And I just

712
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,519
kept signing up for slots because I was like, I

713
00:36:32,599 --> 00:36:33,840
just I love this feeling.

714
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: I love being up here. This is really cool.

715
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 8: Well and isn't that a relief too, to let go

716
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:38,880
of the caring about it? Part?

717
00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: Massive?

718
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 8: Yeah?

719
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, massive, weight off your shoulders, right, yeah, exactly, because

720
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,079
so much of it is based on luck and connections

721
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:47,639
and stuff like you can't. You know, it's a great

722
00:36:47,679 --> 00:36:49,960
Quincy Jones quote, God Rest his Soul that I always

723
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,599
think of. It's like when you start talking about money,

724
00:36:52,599 --> 00:36:53,559
God walks out of the room.

725
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 8: And I've never heard that, but that is a great quote.

726
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just it's so true.

727
00:36:58,559 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 10: Man, if you're here for all the those other things,

728
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,320
like it's with anything in life, right, you know, do

729
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,559
what you love, work really hard at it, and all

730
00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:07,480
the things that you want, all the material things will

731
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,320
come usually in excess, if you know, if you're really

732
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,960
devoting yourself to something right, and and that just you know,

733
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,519
it has a whole set of problems with it. And

734
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,440
you know, listen, I live in the real world. I

735
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,639
got credit card dead right, I got we got all

736
00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:21,920
make money. But but man, I just do this because

737
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,760
I love it. I never get sick of picking up

738
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,519
a guitar and playing music or talking about music. Like

739
00:37:26,599 --> 00:37:28,360
being here with you right now is awesome just because

740
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,679
we get to spend time talking about music and thinking

741
00:37:30,679 --> 00:37:31,079
about it.

742
00:37:31,119 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, so I'm.

743
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 10: Just grateful for where I'm at. And I'm going off

744
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,599
on a tangent like I normally do. But you know,

745
00:37:36,679 --> 00:37:37,760
but yeah, that's all right.

746
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 8: It's kind of what we do here.

747
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,119
Speaker 3: Well, do you want to play another one?

748
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:42,599
Speaker 1: Sure?

749
00:37:43,559 --> 00:37:45,639
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'll play a fun song that I wrote for

750
00:37:45,679 --> 00:37:49,960
that competition. Cool that my my friends and folk friends

751
00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:50,639

00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,599
A great exit, yeah too, Limp Biscuit is huge. Yeah,

824
00:42:31,639 --> 00:42:34,599
and they were huge. But even but even when they

825
00:42:34,599 --> 00:42:36,519
were huge the first time, a lot of people look

826
00:42:36,599 --> 00:42:38,840
down on them and you know what I mean. But

827
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,039
now it's like everybody's just kind of like, oh yeah,

828
00:42:42,199 --> 00:42:43,360
I guess I likelymp Biscuit.

829
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:43,679
Speaker 1: I know.

830
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 10: Now Fred Durst comes out with like a silver goatee

831
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,559
and yeah, yeah Cowboy, Yeah.

832
00:42:48,599 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 8: He's really having a good time and yeah yeah.

833
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,559
Speaker 1: West Portland's a great guitarist too, man, he is.

834
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 9: Yeah in general, yeah, underrated I think because you know,

835
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,639
he gets overlooked because of the band that he plays in, right,

836
00:43:00,039 --> 00:43:03,320
but yeah, no, I agree, I agree. Yeah, that's They've

837
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,440
been a topic on the show recently because of that

838
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:10,239
big two hundred million dollar lawsuit. UMG, talking about sharks

839
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:11,320
in the industry.

840
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: No care but crazy stuff man.

841
00:43:15,079 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, but yeah, a lot of those, a lot of

842
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,719
those bands, yeah, like like Creed and who else?

843
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,679
Speaker 8: Do you so you play a lot of that stuff

844
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,920
right live in your set? Yeah?

845
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah I do.

846
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 10: I mean I don't play a ton of like you

847
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,480
know Unknown Creed. I guess you would say I know

848
00:43:28,519 --> 00:43:31,039
some of the bangers. Yeah, but I play a lot

849
00:43:31,079 --> 00:43:34,440
of like Alison Chain's Stone Temple pilots like That's always

850
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,280
been a very I've always been super fond of that, Yeah,

851
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,639
you know, kind of era in music.

852
00:43:40,159 --> 00:43:42,599
Speaker 1: To be honest, it was never like a huge Nirvana fan.

853
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,679
Speaker 10: Yeah, which might seem weird, but I'm a huge Alison

854
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,239
Chains fan. Like Lane Staley, I think was it was

855
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,960
one of my favorite vocalists. That actually kind of goes

856
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,039
back to that earlier question. I try to sound like him,

857
00:43:54,039 --> 00:43:57,960
but yeah unsuccessfully. Yeah, but I when the screen because

858
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,760
he's like he was a bit of a screamer, but

859
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,280
not a high register like I can never sing like

860
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:07,280
Chester Bennington or anybody from you know, more metal league groups.

861
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,880
I just I don't have that in my range. But

862
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,280
like guys like Lane, you know, we're we're kind of

863
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,679
in that lower register but still managed to get that

864
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,320
like rock high like screaming sound, which I really love,

865
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,519
you know. And then of course I'm big fan of

866
00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:25,800
like Audio Slave and Chris Cornell, Yeah, Sound Garden and yeah,

867
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,639
you know and that, and but Chris Cornell was way

868
00:44:27,679 --> 00:44:29,880
up there too, but he was one of my favorite

869
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,840
rock writers. I would I would say, yeah, what a legend.

870
00:44:34,119 --> 00:44:37,639
Speaker 8: I know, I know, absolutely absolutely. You know.

871
00:44:37,639 --> 00:44:39,679
Speaker 9: It's funny when you mentioned Lane Staley, I had to

872
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,519
stop myself because I started to have this thought. You

873
00:44:42,559 --> 00:44:44,320
ever started to have a thought and then you're about

874
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,440
to say it, and then you realize it's stupid.

875
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: Like all the time, all the time.

876
00:44:49,519 --> 00:44:52,559
Speaker 9: Because I found myself thinking and I almost said, you know,

877
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,760
Lane Staley such a unique voice, as nobody who sounds

878
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,599
like him? And then of course I remember, no, they

879
00:44:57,679 --> 00:45:00,000
found a new singer who sounds exactly like him.

880
00:45:00,559 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 8: But other than other than that guy, yeah, other than

881
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:03,800
that guy.

882
00:45:04,199 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 3: It is really he he was.

883
00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:09,039
Speaker 10: He did have an unusual voice, yeah yeah, and very

884
00:45:09,079 --> 00:45:11,239
like dark in drab. But then you'd hear it like

885
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,880
you'd be listening to jar of Flies and it's like,

886
00:45:14,599 --> 00:45:17,440
you know, just do me almost and then there's like

887
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,840
this whole major, like beautiful acoustic song. I'm trying to

888
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,320
remember the name of the title of the track, but

889
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,480
it's like later on in that jar Flies album, Oh

890
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,320
just like super pleasant, you know what I mean, Like

891
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,079
very major and beautiful, so like the complexity is what

892
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:31,599
really hooks me.

893
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,039
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, those guys you know.

894
00:45:33,079 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, no doubt we have time. You want to play

895
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:36,360
one more?

896
00:45:36,599 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 9: Sure, I'd love to hear one more if you're just

897
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,199
joining us, will he chases here with us live in

898
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,159
studio and uh back up there?

899
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, so this last track, well, making sure my guitar

900
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:48,960
is in two and I'll tell you a little bit

901
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,639
about it, Okay, this I So I grew up down

902
00:45:52,679 --> 00:45:57,480
in Connecticut, which evokes many things. But my mother's family

903
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,280
has been there for a very long time. They were

904
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:04,119
dairy farmers for three hundred years, and.

905
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: I love it there.

906
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,639
Speaker 10: We have like a little bit of land left and

907
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,440
I have a big family and I love everything about it.

908
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,480
But it's there's no farming left, you know, we don't

909
00:46:13,519 --> 00:46:15,599
farm anymore. And the last dairy farm in our town

910
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,480
just closed a few years ago. So this whole lifestyle

911
00:46:18,559 --> 00:46:21,599
of generations and generations my family the way that I mean,

912
00:46:21,599 --> 00:46:24,880
nobody left, like you know, it was just always there,

913
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:28,239
and it's just not a place I ever felt home at,

914
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,920
you know, outside of our little bubble like Connecticut. Rather,

915
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,239
you know, it's just this what used to be really

916
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,320
a graririan kind of nice place is just surrounded by

917
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,599
all this other stuff that isn't really interesting to me.

918
00:46:38,679 --> 00:46:40,800
And I was drawn in the mountains and you know,

919
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,400
the North Country and everything. So this song is kind

920
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,280
of about that feeling of this whole paradigm shift, and

921
00:46:47,639 --> 00:46:49,199
you know, like feeling like you know, I have three

922
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,239
hundred years of dairy farming in my blood, but it's

923
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,840
like just this weird anyway, I'll stop talking about it

924
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:55,840
and play all right.

925
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: This song is called Thicker than Water.

926
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 4: There used to be a cornfield right here. Green backers

927
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:21,559
cut it eavy here. Now they're putting up panels, and

928
00:47:21,639 --> 00:47:24,800
the picture on the mantle gets a little smaller. Every

929
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,880
wind house through in old barn window. That's the empty

930
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,679
stoves in old hay bells. That's blowing off of your

931
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:52,519
old hay, picking up a memory and flies into the Mama,

932
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:59,360
love is town. I got a lot of reasons left

933
00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:08,400
sticking around, And that's blood run sticking in water. God Lord,

934
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,360
that's making me drown.

935
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 3: No, my rootsca old me down.

936
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 4: They on me me, tell me everything, how older and

937
00:48:35,679 --> 00:48:36,679
sure of had no.

938
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:39,079
Speaker 3: I carry it in.

939
00:48:39,199 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 4: They're always with kicking my battles or keeping my cool.

940
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,519
I see the way the world is going, but I

941
00:48:54,679 --> 00:48:59,639
can't take it anymore. But my family, you keep me

942
00:49:00,039 --> 00:49:03,840
around it. That's the only thing I know for sure.

943
00:49:10,599 --> 00:49:13,599
Speaker 3: Mama, I love this town.

944
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:20,079
Speaker 4: I ain't got a lot of reasons left sticky around

945
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,840
because there's blood run sticky and water of my Lord

946
00:49:27,199 --> 00:49:28,840
that's making me drown.

947
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 3: No, my roots came all the down.

948
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 4: From my roots can hold me down, and I feel

949
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:59,719
the break faster than ever who befooling good all the

950
00:50:00,079 --> 00:50:19,639
e I'm bringing me home. No more my roots can

951
00:50:20,119 --> 00:50:21,679
hold me down.

952
00:50:24,199 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 3: And there's a million things that will put me.

953
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:35,599
Speaker 4: Because there's blood runs in water my Lord that's made

954
00:50:35,639 --> 00:50:45,239
me drown. No more roots can down. No, my roots

955
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,280
can't hold me down.

956
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 5: Hold me.

957
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:56,360
