Pop Farmers are here with us.
Speaker 13: Live in studio.
Speaker 19: Welcome everybody, as we have entered our number two new
marrow dose of Matt Connorton unleashed on this Saturday morning.
And of course, uh, Saint Patrick's Day does approach, which
is why the Pop Farmers are here. I guess we're
making this annual tradition, which I love.
Speaker 13: This is great.
Speaker 19: Jenny is here of course at the news table for yes,
and we have the Pop Farmers and actually, well we
have a one more member than we had we had.
Speaker 13: Present with us last year, so this is great. These
guys are gonna play live for us.
Speaker 1: But let's do this.
Speaker 13: Let's well, you all know the drill. We'll start in
the corner. Uh, you can eat you.
Speaker 19: I tell us who you are, what you do in
the band, your involvement in the Pop Farmers, and any
other pertinent details you'd like us to know.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm Dan Moran and I play mandolin when
we play the Irish songs and I played bass when
we don't play the Irish songs, so yes, it's yeah,
so kind of Gary and I switch off and he
plays guitar and I played bass, and uh, yeah, it's
kind of cool. We when we started doing playing the
Irish bar as we well, one of us should learn mandolin,
so it works out well, So that makes sense, that
makes sense. Unfortunately Tyler is a better mandolin player than
I am, but h he lets me play it.
Speaker 19: So Tyler, And of course your name came up in
the uh in the first hour, sorry because of Gary
mentioned because of course Fox and the Flamingos. You're one
of those guys who's in like all kinds.
Speaker 20: How many bands are you in currently? Just technically one.
I'm filling in with them for St. Patrick's. Oh okay,
Box and the Flamingos is my only band.
Speaker 13: Right now, right right? You don't have another project with Gary? No, Gary, Yeah,
so many projects?
Speaker 19: He confuses me, I think, I think because he he
mentioned you, so then in my mind I connected that
as oh so obviously they probably have ten bands that
they do together. Okay, so you're Fox and the Flamingos,
but you also help out in the pop Farmers okay, excellent, excellent?
Was that was that the case last year too?
Speaker 13: When you were I remember you were here?
Speaker 1: Were you? He was a full time that way. Then
he left and we philipp from uh glitter to oh yeah,
he was replacing Tyler. Oh okay, but Bill's pretty busy
and here Todd Tyler likes the combativeness of Saint Patrick's day,
so we hire him to come and uh and duke
it out with us during the muscle.
Speaker 13: Excellent, excellent, Well, wonderful to see you and you sir.
Speaker 20: Uh Jim mahoney and played drums and a little bit
of singing.
Speaker 1: And that's about it, all right, very good.

what is it? What is it?
Speaker 13: What have you got coming up for Saint Patrick?
Speaker 23: Say?
Speaker 13: What is the plan? Because if I remember correctly, so last.
Speaker 19: Year when you guys were here, it was like you
had like like two gigs or three gigs in one
day or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a nutty time. We could probably I was
telling gener earlier. We probably play. We could probably play
four or five times that day if we Yeah, just
because well we can't. We can't because we can't stress
ourselves out that far. But yeah, we played last night
at the Pedlar's Daughter in Nashua, So that's why probably
a little groggy. We got home at two thirty and
then got here. Yeah, and then tomorrow tonight we're playing
at the Pedlar's Daughter in Haverol, Okay. And then Saturdays.
Second Sunday Sunday we're playing a great north Ale works
in Manchester, Oh very nice. And then Monday we're playing
from eleven to three at the Peddler's Daughter in Harol,
Okay for real early in the morning, and then we're
gonna boogey on over to Nashville and play from five
to eight at the Peddler's Daughter. So there's our there's
daughter world to our Yes, if they had more more venues,
we could probably stretch it out, but they just have
the two.
Speaker 19: So for a band like the Pop Farmers, it's kind
of like what Black Friday is to retail, right, Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: It's our busy time and yeah because we like so
we first started, we were just we're just doing basic
classic rock covers, but we played a lot of Irish bars,
so if you got let's learn some Irish songs, and
then it kind of became our niche. So we're not
totally an Irish band, but we you know, we played
a lot of mostly classic rock covers, but we sprinkle
them in, like we can play as many or as
little as Irish songs as we needed. Some some bars
we don't play any at all, but just a few,
but yeah, but yeah we could, we could we and
we don't play like like a lot of the traditional
rebel songs where you were, it's kind of like just
drinking songs and yeah, typical Saint Patrick's Day stuff. But
it's uh, it's fun to play and people seem to
really like it.
Speaker 19: So oh yeah, yeah, are are you guys as a
band active pretty active the rest of the year too, or.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, we're we're booked out. We played at the
beach at out of Hampton Beach in summer.
Speaker 13: That must be fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a it's a nuthouse out there too, because yeah,
but yeah, we we're playing a couple of times a month,
not not overly too much, but yeah we're getting there.
Speaker 13: No, that's great.
Speaker 19: That that is excellent if you are just joining us
the Pop Farmers. The Pop Farmers are with us live
in studio.
Speaker 13: I'm struggling this morning. I can write some more water,
but you guys want to play another one. I'm dying
here more you guys. Sound sounds fantastic.
Speaker 1: Gary's going to sing this one ready all right.
Speaker 13: The Pop Farmers are live in studio.
Speaker 21: Go for it, one, two, three. As I was going
over the far fam Carree mountains. I came upon Captain
Farll and his money. He was counted. I first produced
my and then produce my rape. Pers say stand in
deliver before I am the ball. Deceive them cherena.
Speaker 20: Black for the daddyo.
Speaker 11: Black for the daddyo is whiskey in that jar.
Speaker 21: I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny.
I put it in my pocket and I took it
on to Jenny. She said, and she swore that she
never would deceive me. But the devil take the women,
for they never can be easy. Uscherina dramada, whackpaw the
daddy O whackpa the daddio.
Speaker 1: There's whiskey in the jar.
Speaker 21: I went into my chambers all to take a slumber.
I dreamed of gold and jewels, and for sure it.
Speaker 11: Was no wonder.
Speaker 21: But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up
with water, then sent for Captain Ferrell to be ready
for the slaughter of Muscherina.
Speaker 18: The dadio blackball the daddio.
Speaker 1: There's whiskey in the jar.
Speaker 21: It was early in the morning when I rose up
for travel. The guards are all around me, and likewise
Captain Farrell I first produced my pistol, for she stole
away my rapier. I couldn't shoot the water, so a
prisoner I was taking.
Speaker 18: A charen dr Ramadi, blackball Dadio, black phone Daddio. There's
whiskey in the jar.
Speaker 11: If anyone can head me, it's my brother in the army.
Speaker 21: If I can find his station in a corker and
kill Carty, and if he'll come and see me, we'll
go rom it in kill Kenny. I know he'll treat
me better than my darling Sportland Jenny.
Speaker 18: What scharene Amadi? Blackball Dadio, blackball Dadio.
Speaker 1: There's whiskey in the jar.
Speaker 23: Now.
Speaker 21: Some men take the lie in the hurling in the booth,
and the others take the lie in the gambling and
the smoking. But I take the lie in the juice
of the barley and courting. Pretty Fairmid's in the morning,
brighton early ring.
Speaker 18: Whack Paonda, whack pall the daddio.
Speaker 1: There's whiskey in the.
Speaker 18: Job, Black Dao, whackfall the daddio.
Speaker 13: There's whiskey in the job. Oh that is really good.
Speaker 19: The pop farmers here with us live in studio on
this Saturday morning. Great job guys, great job.
Speaker 13: Is it hard to sing this early in the day,
I mean, I guess, I guess at uh at Saint
Patrick's day time. You kind of have to force yourself
to do it, right, but.
Speaker 20: Not much of a choice. It's always hard for me
to sing.
Speaker 1: Is I'm not hitting the high notes this morning?
Speaker 21: Know?
Speaker 1: No, Gary is the singer in the band. We just
we just followed Gary.
Speaker 21: Yeah.
Speaker 24: Yeah, and it's only day two, so yeah, oh yeahled
by Guinness.
Speaker 21: Yeah, it might sound a little bit different, right right.
Speaker 1: Don't talk to us on Tuesday. You don't have any voices. Yeah.
Speaker 13: Oh, and I just realized too. You guys are all
wearing green.
Speaker 19: I don't think I have anything green people are and
I'm Irish, but I don't think I have any I
don't think I have any green clothes at all.
Speaker 13: It's funny though, too.
Speaker 19: I was also uh noticing Jenny's name in the song
and coincidentally, Jenny Jenny is not Irish, but she has
red hair.
Speaker 12: I also only have two articles of clothing. You what,
I only have two articles and I've got one on
one not on.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's not a prerequisite.
Speaker 13: Yeah, oh, I don't know. You're not like you don't.
You don't look Irish.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 13: Yeah, but.
Speaker 19: How many like when So when you guys play live
for the Saint Patrick's Day shows, is it is it
mostly like classic Irish songs or are there obviously.
Speaker 13: You have originals too, right? So like what's kind of
the ratio there?
Speaker 1: It's it depends. Like when we play at the in Haverol,
we play pretty much, it's four hours we play. We
play mostly Irish stuff, but yeah, sometimes we have to
repeat it because we don't you know, we don't have fun.
You know, we have a lot, but not four hours worth.
But but we play, but we mix in the classic
rock stuff too and people seem to be okay with that,
so it's not just four hours of Irish music.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Actually, one one of le bars we got hired at
Tom McGirk up at Hampton Beach. He hired us because
we played some Irish music, but not well, you know,
three hours worth, because oh, you know, I don't know, well,
I guess some people want to hear three hours or
at Irish music. But he said at the beach they
didn't want to hear three hours of Irish So we
can play enough that if people request more irish we
can do it. But if not, you know, like some
bars don't they don't want to hear it at all.
So that's fine. Yeah, yeah, we're good.
Speaker 19: But I guess I guess if you're playing a four
hour show though, too, there's nothing wrong with repeating some
things later on because obviously that crowd is turning over anyway.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 20: Yeah, and frankly, on St.
Speaker 12: Patrick's Day, everybody wants to hear like certain songs multiple timesicorns.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 12: They'll still scream out the ones even though we've already
played them right now, that makes sense. It's like the
one day we're like, all right, fine.
Speaker 19: Yeah, what's the longest show you guys have played during uh,
Saint Patrick's or at any time of the year.
Speaker 13: Actually, what like because four hours.
Speaker 1: More hours we played. We played a private party in
Hampton Beach and I think were initially was a four
hour game yep, And and then they kept saying can
you play more? And so give us kept throwing throw
money out, so money we did. It was like yeah,
it was a six hour gig. And again but we
I think could we play We think we played Drunken
Sale or like eight times. That's what they wanted to hear. Like, okay,
you got it. You keep throwing money on us, We'll
play it.
Speaker 13: Yeah, give them what they want. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.
You want to play another one?
Speaker 1: Sure? Like Tyler said that this is one that people
always actually request more. So we played like four or
five times Ballwie Girl, and that's again we will play
the song and then invariably ten minutes later, so somebody
come up and say, can you play Gallway Girl? Okay,
so this is it's not I guess it's it's an
Irish song, but Steve Earl wrote it, so it's not.
It's not you know, like an like a Dublin or
song or something, but it's Steve Earl.
Speaker 13: Nice nice.
Speaker 1: So this is a p Fallway Girl. I'm gonna say
Peddler's daughter a lot will it took a stroll down
the old long walk on a d ay ay. I
met a little.
Speaker 17: Girl and we stopped to talk on a fine soft
ye aye, And I ask my friends what a fellow
to do his Her hair was black in a rise
of blue and a new right. Then I'll be taking
in the.
Speaker 1: World around the salt till prom with a Galway girl.
We would half played there when the ring came down
on a day. Ay ay a middle little girl. Let
me talk to talk.
Speaker 17: I wanna find somefty aye it ask my friend, tell
me what would you do.
Speaker 1: If her hair was black and a rise?
Speaker 17: So what the girl hand?
Speaker 1: And I gave her reswirl And I lost my heart
to a call away a girl.
Speaker 17: When I woke up, I was all alone with a
broken hard and a ticket home. Wanta find somety I
ain't asked my friends, what's a fellow to do.
Speaker 7: You?
Speaker 17: Her hair was black and a rise blue to the
traveled around, been all over this world, boys, I ain't
never seen nothing like a Galway a girl.
Speaker 13: Very nice, very nice, nice Galway girl.
Speaker 19: The Pop Farmers, so Steve Earl wrote that, yeah, oh yeah,
I love Steve Earl.
Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely yeah.
Speaker 19: If you are just joining us, we have the Pop
Farmers here with us alive in studio on this Saturday
morning and sounding great.
Speaker 13: By the way, I want to say thank you again.
Speaker 19: Of course Cosmic Blossom joining us during the first hour
and coming up in the third hour today. If you
are listening live, we have Dog eight Dog. Uh so
that's gonna be really cool. I love their sound, so
looking forward to that. But the pop Farmers of course
sounding great. We got all four of the guys here
with us live in studio on this Saturday morning. Are
there any Are there any of these songs that that
you felt compelled to learn at a band that were
particularly challenging or are they all kind of kind of
easy to pick up? Is there anything that that you
guys kind of struggled.
Speaker 13: With a little bit or.
Speaker 1: Chord wise, they're all fairly fairly easy, but but word wise,
there's a lot of words.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I've noticed that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and when you try to learn them, I
think Gary can vouch for this. But when you're learning them,
you go, Okay, this is the version I learned, and
then you you hear somebody like Clanchy Brothers or somebody
and the words are totally different or there's verses that
we're in it that we don't play. So yeah, you
could probably play them six or seven different ways.
Speaker 13: But yeah, so that's in Builton Leeway there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, pretty much everything.
Speaker 21: It's definitely like an evolving art form, you know, it's
constantly evolving. I think people put their own little spin
on it and you know, take liberties with some of
the verses or whatever. I mean, we do that with
some of the stuff. Yeah, I know, it's it's it's fun.
Speaker 19: Nobody comes up to you at a bar and says, hey,
you don't play that the way it's That's not the
way it was written.
Speaker 1: The only time that press ever happened was with let's
let's see. Sometimes I get bad with with titles the
drop Kick Murphy song. We do that fields a bath
and rye, Yeah, because we do it kind of drop
kick Murphy style. But some you know, every now and
then it's a it's a it's a folky song, but
we we do that's the way we do it. And
what in Havevor one year something like did you play
it like more normal? And like, yeah, we we can
do that, and these guys like, no, we can't, but
it's like we can. So we did it, and it's
it's you know, a lot of them they're like I said,
we drew kind of drop kick Murphy's or Flogging Molly
kind of style, but we can. We can tone it
down if we have to.
Speaker 13: Is that literally what they said? Can you play it
more normal?
Speaker 1: I forget what the word was, but it was more
traditional maybe but maybe not normal. But but yeah, it's
it's it's one of those ones we like. I like
playing it, but yeah, we uh, either way, I can
play it either we can play it either way. Yeah,
but it's mostly mostly rocking, so yeah, yeah, oh that's funny.
Speaker 13: That's funny. Does anybody ever ask you for for a
song that you don't that you don't know, like.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. There's so many Irish songs,
even not even regular classic rock. Yeah yeah, play small
Town Girl.
Speaker 21: It's like playing road.
Speaker 1: Yeah. We know a lot of them, but we don't
know all of them. But at that point we just
kind of give them the list and say here, this
is what we do. Pick one. Yeah yeah, and they're
usually pretty cool about it. Yeah, and if not, they
can come back later, right yeah. Yeah.

first one we did? I think it was the first, right, yeah, yeah,
go ahead.
Speaker 20: Yeah, we were on break and I think it was.
Speaker 24: It might have been a week night and we just
wanted to go home, and the Haveril Police Department was
coming just to look in and see, if you know,
not over capacity or whatever. And as he was walking down,
I'm like, hey, any chance you can shut this down now?
Speaker 1: And he goes, now, we can't. I'm like, all right,
well I tried.
Speaker 24: So I go inside to use the bathroom and I
come back outside and I'm sitting outside and I see
this kid go flying out the door in a CoP's
hand behind him, and then another kid go flying out
the door, and within three minutes the place was empty.
There was a fight and they said we're done, and
they actually ended up closing it down.

Speaker 23: Hm.
Speaker 13: Well done, well done.
Speaker 19: We've got the pop farmers here with us, alive in
studio on this Saturday morning, as Saint Patrick's Day approaches quickly.
Speaker 13: So no, you guys, you guys sound great now? How
many how many songs have you recorded as a band?
How many songs?
Speaker 23: Is it?
Speaker 21: Is? It?
Speaker 13: Just the two the popform.
Speaker 1: When we came during during COVID, we were kind of
like bands in the world. We all our gigs got canceled,
so Tyler and I decided we were on a record
an album, and so we did a project. We called
it Miran Moran instead of Duran Duran I'm a Ran. Yeah,
And so then we had these guys come in and
we had a lot of our friends come in and
the two I had written I have. I had like
five or six songs that were partially written, and somehow
we ended up getting two more Irish songs together. So
I think the project is eight or nine songs, yeah,
the Moran Moran. But and these guys play on some
of it and uh but yeah, the only ones that
are that were pop armer ones of those two. Okay, yeah,
we we don't we don't do we have don't have
a lot of originals, but we're hopefully get more.
Speaker 13: But so the Moran Moran. So is that a full
album that you guys did together or okay? Is that online?
Is that on Spotify?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah. We did, like I said, we we
we had I had some songs part shoot right and
I said the tiler, hey did you finish these? And
so they musically they were pretty done, you know, chord wise.
Then we wrote I just had to come up with
lyrics and that took a long time, but it was fun.
And uh and then, like I said, it was all
during COVID, so it was kind of it was. It
was a weird time for everybody. So yeah, we call
I called my friends, some of our friends and say
come you know, and like the Peddler's daughter, we shipped
out some friends of ours live in California and we
shipped the tracks out to them and they put the
squeeze box on it and the fiddle. So yeah, it was,
it was. It was a cool project.
Speaker 13: Yeah. Now, so on the brand Ran project, is it
is it just the two of you or the other musicians?
Speaker 1: No, we have it's a pretty a lot of music. Yeah, okay,
he played, He played a lot of it. If you
look at the track listing, you know, you know he
plays a ton of instruments. And and then I would
call up Gary is he's Gary play based on this?
And he would and Jimmy came in and we yeah,
it was, it was. It was a fun time. Okay, okay,
it could kind of help the COVID then go buy faster.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Well the thing too that I always say is, you know,
the pandemic was terrible but we have to find the
silver lines where we can. Yeah, and one of them
is it really kind of I think forced a lot
of people, a lot of musicians.
Speaker 13: To kind of find new ways to create or or
even just using.
Speaker 19: Existing technologies but embracing them further in terms of, you know,
getting comfortable with sending tracks back and forth and collaborating
with people you know anywhere really you know, in other
parts of the country and other parts of the world,
and you know, and that stuff we could already do. Obviously,
we already had things like tropbox and Google Drive. But
it really kind of forced a lot of people who
hadn't thought to work that way to try working that way.
And and I think a lot of great music came
out of it, and a lot of creativity in other
art forms as well. So so, but so it sounds
like so essentially the pop Farmers grew out of Moran Moran,
Is that fair to say?
Speaker 1: No, the pop Farmers came first, or the pop Farmers
came We've been together for twenty years now. This is
our the anniversary. Yeah, Jimmy and I. Jimmy is the
He's the only one that's been in the band forever. Oh,
I left for like nine months to go to California
with my wife. But Jimmy and I we we had
a band called John Paul in the Absolutes, And when
that band faded, Jimmy, al Carry and I stayed together
and we we formed the Pop Farmers. It wasn't the
Pop Farmers at first. We were we were called Naughty Pine.
We did that at a while, I.
Speaker 13: Remember, because I remember we talked about that year before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we had a different singer and
then when he left, Gary joined. So Gary's been with
us for a while fifteen years maybe, and then uh
oh yeah, so it's been evolving.
Speaker 13: This band has been around a lot longer than I realize.
Speaker 1: Yeah, two thousand and five. We think we were not
really positive, but we think it's two thousand and five
when we started.
Speaker 18: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we've been doing a long time, okay. And
Tyler was just a little kid when we formed it.
Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, oh wow, and he he was in Little Kid.
Speaker 1: Tyler was in the band for a while and that
was that was a fun lineup. And then when he
left it to kind of go with Fox and the
Fling Flamingos more. Philip from Glitter tooth to us, but
he can't. He's in a situation where he has a
family restaurant, so he can't play on Fridays. So we
now have we had to find our Friday farmer. So
one of our one of our original members, al Carry.
He came out of retirement, so he's our Friday guy.
Fills our Saturday guy. Okay, so now we can start
booking Friday gigs and fills another guy with multiple uh yeah,
fills awesome, yeah.
Speaker 19: Multiple projects going, yeah yeah, uh oh. We definitely have
time for another one. You want to you want to

Speaker 15: A black velted ban.
Speaker 19: Nice, very nice. The pop farmers are here with us
alive in studio, and as you guys were playing that song,
you know what occurred to me. We were talking earlier
about how some of these songs have you know, they're
very wordy, a lot of lyrics, and I realized is
and is my imagination or do some of these like
Irish songs?
Speaker 13: Do some of them have four verses?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Some of them have no choruses? Yees. Yeah, yeah,
it's just like, yeah, I.
Speaker 20: Have six, some have seven.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I've never really thought about that before until until
just now as you guys are playing that song, like see,
there really are a lot.
Speaker 13: Of words some of these songs.
Speaker 12: They're usually like epic stories, yeah, yeah, the tales they
would tell in the pubs and all that. So it's
like sometimes it's ungodly yeah yeah, and to go on
the lyrics, like sometimes it's almost impossible to remember the
order unless you remember the story. Oh yeah yeah, keep
track of the story while remembering the lyrics that tell
the story.
Speaker 1: It's like a lot.
Speaker 20: Yeah that's what I don't think.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd never thought about it before. But
then as yeah, as you guys are playing that song,
like yeah, there's a lot of oh wait, there's another verse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, keep going on. Some of the ones we do
that Gary he'll have you know, he'll do four verses,
but then there's really like six or seven. This will
be way too long.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's a lot. They're very wordy.
Speaker 23: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah. You guys ever forgot you ever forget lyrics?
Speaker 1: Yeah all the time.
Speaker 21: Yeah, you know, repeat verses sometimes because we forgot one
of them, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, second verse, same as the first.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 20: A lot of them are really really dark songs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they sound happy some of them, but if you
listen to the lyrics, if some of them are sad
and it's scary.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, no, I get that. I did notice that.
I did notice.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I guess if you have to repeat a verse
or something or change the lyrics, I mean, if people
are drinking nobody.
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's that time of the year, you could say anything.
Speaker 19: Really, does anybody ever call you guys on that, like, hey,
that that's not how that goes, that's not what the.
Speaker 13: What the lyrics are to that that song or you
change the story or something to anybody.
Speaker 20: Ever, No, I think I have a memory of somebody
doing that. But they were really sober.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so they were able to like really pay attention
to the lyrics the time of the year, Like, if
you're doing the right thing, you should just be able
to just say the melody you know, really need the word.
Speaker 13: Right right, all right, cut you off here.
Speaker 21: Well, you know, it is like I said earlier, it's
like an evolving, you know thing. Yeah, and I think
people that are fans of Irish music know that it's
going to be different, Like everyone's going to interpret it
their way or put their little you know, they're a
little special sauce on it or whatever. You know. I
think I think the people that are, you know, true
officionados of the of the genre, they're they're accepting of that.
In fact, they expect that.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I love your bass by the way, I love
the That's an unusual design, but that's cool.
Speaker 13: That's really cool. I don't know, how do you want
to describe that? So obviously people can't see it on
the radio, but I'm so taken what I think.
Speaker 21: Officially it's called blue floral, okay, yeah, yeah, that's a
cool design.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 21: So in the in the sixties they had the blue
floral basically it's it's a piece of wallpaper. And then
they also had the pink Paisley. Like the pink Paisley
was kind of made popular by what's his name, the
guitar player for Elvis, Yes, James Burton. Yeah, he kind
of popularized it because, oh, you know he's playing that
hippie guitar.
Speaker 13: You know, that's cool, that's cool.
Speaker 19: We have time for one more, you guys want to
play one more and then what.
Speaker 21: We want to do? Whale whalia speaking of dark.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this, This is a this is one
I apparently this song. What I heard was that it's
one of the things that parents, Irish parents would would
sink to their kids so they would eat their vegetables
or really better, it's kind of yeah, it's it's a
scary dark song.
Speaker 21: Oh, cautionary tale.
Speaker 1: Cautionary tale. That's a good way to put it.
Speaker 19: Okay, all right, now I'm very curious, all right, okay,
