6:10
SPEAKER_01: But just a little bit.
6:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, a little bit.
6:12
SPEAKER_01: But he was, you have to say, one of the one of the pillars of the origins of rock and roll.
6:20
SPEAKER_02: You've seen that picture from Sun Studios with Cash, Carl Perkins, uh, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis.
6:28
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: And then the other round is name that tune.
9:52
SPEAKER_01: And my team was like, my team was like, oh, you're twelve, you're like, got this in a bag.
9:57
SPEAKER_03: Usually I would.

10:10
SPEAKER_01: We got like three out of six.
10:11
SPEAKER_05: Okay.
10:12
SPEAKER_01: And then in that tune, they played a Taylor Swift song, but I couldn't you had to have the the artist and the song.
10:18
SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay.
10:19
SPEAKER_01: And I couldn't think of the song.
10:21
SPEAKER_01: And a lot of the teachers that I teach with are 30 or under.
10:25
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay, that's and then they played a song by um um Quad City DJs, ride that train.
10:35
SPEAKER_01: I had heard the song before, but it's not something I'm into, so I had no clue I put down black-eyed peas.
10:41
SPEAKER_01: I got the other ones.
10:42
SPEAKER_01: And one of them, which is which is what's leading me to this what we were talking about before, it was uh Beach Boys.
10:50
SPEAKER_01: Oh.
10:51
SPEAKER_01: Be true to your school.
10:52
SPEAKER_01: And I was one of the only ones that got the name of the song because I love the Beach Boys.
10:56
SPEAKER_01: Right.
10:57
SPEAKER_01: Used to listen to the Beach Boys all the time.
10:59
SPEAKER_01: Still do, you know, uh on on occasion.
11:03
SPEAKER_01: Um but I wanted to talk about uh just the genius of the Beach Boys.
11:09
SPEAKER_02: Well, I don't know if it's necessarily the genius of the Beach Boys, but it's more of Brian Wilson's.
11:13
SPEAKER_02: Brian Wilson, yeah.
11:14
SPEAKER_01: True, because I mean he they were they were soldiers in his army.
11:20
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
11:20
SPEAKER_01: Right?
11:21
SPEAKER_01: I mean that's because he composed everything.
11:23
SPEAKER_01: Well, not everything, but everything that was good.
11:27
SPEAKER_01: It was pretty much Brian Wilson and he produced everything.
11:31
SPEAKER_01: He he told them what to sing and they sang it.
11:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
11:34
SPEAKER_01: It's pretty much what the way it was.
11:35
SPEAKER_02: It was, you know, it was pretty much the Brian Wilson show.
11:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
11:38
SPEAKER_01: So uh the genius of Brian Wilson, I should say.
11:41
SPEAKER_01: So uh I saw this on ultimate classicrock.com, so I want to I haven't listened to it yet.
11:46
SPEAKER_01: I wanted to to see what it sounded like.
11:48
SPEAKER_01: They've released a previously unreleased song titled Carry Me Home, which was recorded in 1972.
11:56
SPEAKER_01: Um they're releasing a box set, Salon Sailor, 1972.
11:59
SPEAKER_01: It's an in-depth exploration of the band at that time.
12:04
SPEAKER_01: Uh as they embraced change.
12:07
SPEAKER_01: So this is probably not a good thing.
12:09
SPEAKER_01: Uh, because we're used to lush harmonies on like the the warmth of the sun.
12:14
SPEAKER_01: Alright.
12:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
12:15
SPEAKER_01: Um actually let me do that because I could use I could use some beach boiling.

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, such a great song.
12:31
SPEAKER_01: Just those just those harmonies.
12:44
SPEAKER_01: And you know, it's interesting to me.
12:47
SPEAKER_01: So I'm listening to this and Brian Wilson's in my left ear.
12:49
SPEAKER_01: Is he yeah, you too?
12:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
12:52
SPEAKER_01: Why don't they reproduce like that anymore?
12:55
SPEAKER_01: Is it because it's everything's stereo?
12:57
SPEAKER_01: Probably.
12:58
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
13:00
SPEAKER_02: Somebody somebody should just do, you know, do it like this just one time.
13:04
SPEAKER_02: Right.

30:48
SPEAKER_02: Uh no.

32:24
SPEAKER_01: Right.
32:25
SPEAKER_01: Um as far as marketing thing and a brand thing, it keeps my band guys working and it keeps the fans happy, so it makes sense.
32:33
SPEAKER_01: So it's about money.
32:35
SPEAKER_02: It's all about the Benjamins, baby.
32:39
SPEAKER_01: He said that uh Electric Freedom was really going against the grain more than keeping the old name.
32:44
SPEAKER_01: He really felt a lot more resistance than he'd ever felt having Lynch Mob, right?
32:48
SPEAKER_01: Because nobody was complaining about Lynch Mob, the name Lynch Mob.
32:52
SPEAKER_01: It was him, and he actually said it.
32:54
SPEAKER_01: He said nobody liked electric freedom, and I didn't like living with that.
32:58
SPEAKER_01: It was just kind of uncomfortable.
33:00
SPEAKER_01: It's like, okay, well, we've just got to put up with George's decision here to do this, but nobody agrees with it.
33:04
SPEAKER_01: So he said, as much as much as my motives were pure, uh, I felt honest.
33:09
SPEAKER_01: It just never caught on all kinds of levels.
33:12
SPEAKER_01: On top of that, he said the strongest negativity over lynchmob name came from himself.
33:19
SPEAKER_01: I was my own worst critic, especially in later years.
33:22
SPEAKER_01: I got a lot more criticism with Electric Freedom.
33:24
SPEAKER_01: So he's like, so we're just gonna we're just gonna forget that I did that, and we're gonna go back to using lynch mob because nobody complained about it but me.
33:34
SPEAKER_02: Well, not not to talk ill of George, but you're going to.
33:40
SPEAKER_02: But I am.
33:41
SPEAKER_02: He never struck me as the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.
33:45
unknown: Right.
33:46
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
33:47
SPEAKER_01: No, what do you mean?
33:49
SPEAKER_02: I mean, the dude's not writing a dissertation for a master's degree at Harvard anytime soon.
33:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
33:56
SPEAKER_02: Okay?

34:05
SPEAKER_01: Is that the one with Sweet Sensation on it?
34:08
SPEAKER_02: You'd uh I can't remember.
34:09
SPEAKER_02: You'd have to look it up.
34:11
SPEAKER_02: So you're gonna look it up.
34:12
unknown: Yeah.
34:13
SPEAKER_02: Because I mean it came out shortly after they broke up like the first time.
34:16
SPEAKER_01: Dawkins, you mean?
34:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Dawkins, sorry.
34:19
SPEAKER_01: Oh, it was Wicked Sensation.
34:21
SPEAKER_01: Wicked, okay.
34:22
SPEAKER_01: Wasn't Sweet Sensation.
34:24
SPEAKER_02: I think it was a self-titled album anyway, right?
34:26
SPEAKER_02: If I'm if I'm not Yeah.

34:39
SPEAKER_01: Only Logan.
34:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
34:41
SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, it was for me, it was Dawkins without all the pretentiousness of Don Dawkins.
34:48
SPEAKER_02: Right.
34:48
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
34:49
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
34:49
SPEAKER_01: So I this is what we were listening to back in high school.
34:56
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
35:01
SPEAKER_01: But these days, uh, we're listening to a well, we're l still listening to things like that, but uh we're listening to a lot of other things because we're in the Star City Syndicate.
35:11
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
35:12
SPEAKER_01: And we are actually we I went we we pr we rehearsed Wednesday, so this would have been after our this would have been after our podcast last week.
35:22
SPEAKER_01: So we can talk about the fact that this band blows me away.
35:27
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
35:27
SPEAKER_01: The band that I'm in, that we're in, blows me away.
35:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
35:32
SPEAKER_01: We showed up to rehearsal last week, and I had It was at a secret location we don't know about.
35:45
SPEAKER_03: So But I'm not far from the truth.
35:49
SPEAKER_01: No, you're not, actually.
35:52
SPEAKER_01: We we showed up, um, we did get word that, and you know, ordinarily when we get a heads up as to what songs we're gonna work on, most people would uh maybe learn them.
36:03
SPEAKER_01: Um not us.
36:05
SPEAKER_01: Forget that noise.
36:06
SPEAKER_01: Um practice, whatever.
36:10
SPEAKER_01: So I showed up, I didn't have any charts.
36:13
SPEAKER_01: Um, of course, all the horns had charts because of Chris make sure the horns have charts.
36:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, you kind of have to.
36:19
SPEAKER_01: You kind of have to.
36:20
SPEAKER_01: But half the fun for me is trying to figure it out, you know.
36:23
SPEAKER_01: So so if as long as I have the key and maybe a few chords here and there, I could kind of vamp my way through it, which is exactly what we did.
36:31
SPEAKER_01: But we got the tip that we're going to do a couple of Chicago songs.
36:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
36:36
SPEAKER_01: And Chicago songs that I know myself and Sarah have wanted to do for a long time, at least at least one of them.
36:42
SPEAKER_01: And I said to Sarah just before we were we were going to sing it or do it, was uh, are we doing the intro?
36:50
SPEAKER_01: Like the full intro?
36:51
SPEAKER_01: And she's like, Yeah.
36:53
SPEAKER_01: And I turned to you and said something like, if we nail this, if we make it through this song on the first tick after never having played it, I'm gonna be I don't remember what I said I was gonna do.
37:05
SPEAKER_02: I don't either, but I was like, and I was when you said that, I was like, you know what?
37:11
SPEAKER_02: I think we're gonna do it.
37:12
SPEAKER_01: You did say that.
37:13
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
37:13
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
37:14
SPEAKER_02: I was like, I I think we're gonna do it.
37:16
SPEAKER_03: I believe in us.
37:17
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
37:18
SPEAKER_01: I believe we can do it.
37:20
SPEAKER_01: So what we did was uh hold on, let me find the very beginning of it.
37:28
SPEAKER_01: Because we don't do the piano intro.
37:30
SPEAKER_01: There's a there is quite a quite a piano intro.
37:32
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
37:33
SPEAKER_01: Um so we did it the first time through.
37:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
37:38
SPEAKER_01: It wasn't perfect, obviously.
37:40
SPEAKER_01: No, but it was pretty dominant close.
37:42
SPEAKER_01: We could play it at a show.
37:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
37:44
SPEAKER_01: We could play it at a show.
37:45
SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
37:45
SPEAKER_01: Now, Anthony wasn't familiar with the song, so I sto stepped up and and sang it, not very well.
37:52
SPEAKER_01: I thought it was good.
37:53
SPEAKER_01: But but it's because I didn't know all the words.
37:55
SPEAKER_01: But we Who needs words?
37:56
SPEAKER_01: Right.
37:57
SPEAKER_01: But it fit my range, so we did it, and I love the song, and so I don't know.
38:02
SPEAKER_01: Am I doing it?
38:02
SPEAKER_01: Am I gonna be singing that song?
38:04
SPEAKER_02: Uh I I vote yes.
38:06

38:07
SPEAKER_01: So listen.

SPEAKER_01: Uh oh, uh well, so the horns.
39:02
SPEAKER_01: We we every time we play, we always say, we always compliment the horns and say it's the greatest horn section on the planet.
39:07
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
39:07
SPEAKER_01: And we believe that.
39:09
SPEAKER_01: I mean because it's true.

39:25
SPEAKER_02: I mean, sometimes it's hit or miss sometimes.
39:28
SPEAKER_02: Yep, that's true.
39:29
SPEAKER_02: Fricking trumpets.
39:34
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
39:35
SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry.
39:36
SPEAKER_02: But the most obvious instrument in the band is the trumpets, and they're the ones that were always like, how many trumpets are we gonna have?
39:42
SPEAKER_02: Who's gonna show up?
39:43
SPEAKER_02: We need somebody to fill it up.
39:44
SPEAKER_02: Is anybody gonna do it?
39:45
SPEAKER_02: Is everybody?
39:46
SPEAKER_03: Can Sarah play the trumpet on her on her keyboard?
39:48
SPEAKER_02: Well, Sarah can actually play the trumpet because that's how she started with the band.

39:57
SPEAKER_01: So this is the song that we started with.

40:16
SPEAKER_01: At this point, I'm looking at you going, holy crap.
40:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
40:24
SPEAKER_03: And then we're going right into this and it just at this point.
40:35

40:41
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
40:42
SPEAKER_03: I guess I'm singing.
40:56

41:00
SPEAKER_01: Right.
41:00
SPEAKER_01: And we'll we'll work on those.
41:01
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, we'll get that.

42:26
SPEAKER_01: Yes, we did so we're excited.
42:28
SPEAKER_01: We're adding to the repertoire.
42:31
SPEAKER_01: Um, and the other reason I bring up the Star City Syndicate is we're doing one of our school shows.
42:36
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
42:37
SPEAKER_01: Excuse me, this Friday.
42:39
SPEAKER_01: Um we're going down to uh Southern Roostic High uh community school, right?
42:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't know where it is.
42:45
SPEAKER_01: I don't either.
42:45
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
42:46
SPEAKER_02: Hopefully uh I I I put I posted in the thread.
42:48
SPEAKER_02: I was like, stupid question.
42:50
SPEAKER_02: Where is the school?
42:52
SPEAKER_01: So we'll just leave early enough and kind of drive around Southern Roostic School.
42:57
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna I'm gonna go to Holton and get a hotel room the night before so I can so I could f I could s send out scouts to recon.
43:06
SPEAKER_03: Well, we usually follow that school bus.
43:09
SPEAKER_03: We do it once or twice a year.
43:12
SPEAKER_02: Um Well, this will be our second time this year.
43:15
SPEAKER_02: Is it?
43:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we did it in April.
43:17
SPEAKER_02: We went to Oh, true, true.
43:19
SPEAKER_02: I think we went to Ashland and then we went to Prascal.
43:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I I forgot about that.
43:24
SPEAKER_01: Um so yeah, to uh two times a year usually um we go to a couple of schools in one day.
43:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
43:31
SPEAKER_01: So we'll do one school in the morning and then we do the other school in the afternoon.
43:35
SPEAKER_01: And it's kind of like a I don't know, we're promoting music education, if you will.
43:40
SPEAKER_02: Well that's what I like to think because music has taken such a back seat in many schools.
43:45
SPEAKER_02: It really has.
43:46
SPEAKER_02: Um Well, I mean, like I mean, I don't there's like I think like Fort Kent doesn't even have a band.
43:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's uh I think they have like a pet band.
43:55
SPEAKER_01: It's Matawaska.
43:56
SPEAKER_01: Madawaska doesn't have a band.
43:58
SPEAKER_02: I don't think Fa Fort Kent does either.
43:59
SPEAKER_01: Really?
44:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
44:00
SPEAKER_01: And I know Fort Fairfield doesn't either.
44:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
44:02
SPEAKER_02: And I I mean t how sad is that that you can't get kids interest, you know, excited about music.
44:08
SPEAKER_02: Right.
44:08
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I know it's a lot of work and a lot of boring like playing scales and this, that, and the other thing, and maybe you're not gonna play the songs that you want, but Right.
44:18
SPEAKER_01: But so our our aim is basically if you love playing your instrument, you can still play it in after you're out of school.
44:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
44:30
SPEAKER_01: You know, there are um there are areas where you can uh collaborate with other people and and have a freaking blast.
44:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
44:39
SPEAKER_01: I mean have a great time.
44:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
44:41

1:03:33
SPEAKER_00: I feel like I'm just like I used to be.

1:03:47
SPEAKER_00: Won't you please waltz me free?
1:03:51

SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
1:04:16
SPEAKER_01: Melting the shackles with tears.
1:04:18
