• 6:59
  Speaker 1: get the top musicians. And you know, he knows which players.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: He knows which kind of players that I like, and

  Speaker 1: rock and roll, you know, big sound with sort of
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a bluesy vibe to it, you know, that kind of DNA,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: So he knows which players to bring in. Anyway, he
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: hooked me up with an agent because he said, you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Scott's wanting to get out there. He's he writes a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: ton of songs, and here's some of his songs in
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the agent herd. He said, yeah, So he called me
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and it's been about a year back and forth, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the agent called me last Friday and he's super positive guy,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and he said, it's really tough market out there. Everybody,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just really hard. And he said, but
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I booked you an eleven city tour at the following venues.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And I just about fell over right, because it's a
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: big step up from coffee shops, believe me right. So,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and plus we're doing full band because I told him,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I said, I want to go out there with with
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: with the old band, with the fellas and just you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: blast away these these songs that I wrote, we're gonna
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: do like we're gonna do covers, We're gonna do originals,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But there's there's a ton of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: music that I want to play, but I want to.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I a lot of the things I write, most of
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it is for full band. It's not acoustic. And the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: acoustic stuff I can't even do anyway because I don't
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: have that, you know, I just don't have that need
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: for it anymore because I did a tour which is
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: all acoustic. I want to now I want to do
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a full band anyway. So so that's how it came about. Yeah,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So my boy Zoo, he hooked it up nice. He
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: hooked me up. Yeah. And he's he's running the he's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: gonna run rehearsals, he's gonna run the band. He's gonna
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: run a lot on the ground when we get into
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: these venues. You know, he's gonna he's gonna coordinate with
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: all the tech guys and everything and all the back
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: line people.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: So what are you going to play? Are you going
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: to play your original stuff or are you going.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: To do covers or both?
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: A little bit of both.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're kind of like landing on sort of half
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and half. It's a ninety minute set. Wow, it's probably
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: twenty songs, and I think we're gonna do either twelve
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: originals and eight covers or ten and ten. Yeah awesome,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: because you know, no matter how good your originals are,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: nobody cares. I mean, let's face it, nobody wants to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: hear them. And even look, if you go to a
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: U two concert and they say, well, this is off
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: our new album that we haven't released yet and we'd
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: like to play it for you, You're like, no, no, no, no,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: we don't want to hear new stuff, even from like
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you two or even ever. Right, So what do you
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: think they're going to be like, this is a new song.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they want to say it's a beautif all day, right, exactly,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: got it?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: No, exactly, That's what they want. They want to hear
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: what they have attached memories to and they want those
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: memories replayed in that venue for the money they paid
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and you can.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: If you do hear of an original, you're like, oh
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I like this song, and then oh I remember that
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: when it came out, you know what I mean? Like
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: it could start something. But it's not why you go
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to the concert.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: No, it's not why exactly right. I don't think fans
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: are like I can't wait to hear Scott's new originals.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: No, they want to hear. If you get more fans,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: more more more, I want to kiss you more.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: If that's going to be in the set.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: List, yeah, they hear it every week.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to make it in
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the set list. It's going to be. The set list
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: is going to be there's only ten positions, and it's
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: going to be a you know, it's going to be
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a very democratic sort of process, like what song survives
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the rehearsal process and everybody has to agree. Yeah, because
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: that's that's how if you wantn't be able to do
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: it well, I want to be. I want all the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: guys to to be committed one love this song, crushing,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: gonna crush this and if they don't like a song,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to do. And if I don't,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: you know, there's most songs that I write, I don't
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: really like them, you know, yeah, and I don't want
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: to perform them. Only only a couple get through, right, Like,
• 11:25

• 12:18
  Speaker 1: With a band, Oh god, with a band the m
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I guess twenty n I wouldn't say that's being on
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: stage with a band, No, them far thing. That was
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a that was zoo on keys. Yeah, that was meeting
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: me on a acoustic Now, the last time I was
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: with a full band. Was probably Ocean City, Yeah, it
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't maybe south was it south By Southwest?
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: South By Southwest? Yeah, that was fun. I forgot about that.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: That was twenty seventeen March, I think nine years.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So we played We played Rachel Ray's feedback party
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: down at south By Southwest twenty seventeen. Yeah, I was
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: on our show. We talked about music, her husband's band open,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and then we we headlined and so we got up
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: there and played our set and it was really fun
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and everybody had a great time. Yeah. So yeah, that's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the last time. It's been a while. It's definitely been
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a while.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Do you have like, I mean, have any nerves set in?
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, Well it's more excitement because I want to
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: get into the rehearsal space and try out the material
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: and see how it sounds, you know, and because you
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: just never know.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, next week we'll shove a lot. For sure, you'll
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: figure it all out.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, next week we're going to start and you know,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have a big, you know, whiteboard with a
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: black marker. We're going to write everything down and things
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: are going to get acted, you know, for a lot
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: of different reasons, And it's just a process of elimination
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: right where we'll probably take in forty songs. The guys
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: will bring in songs. It's really going to be a
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: situation where where it might not even be my original
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that makes it to the final cut. Maybe I'll have
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: five of my originals, but the band has some great originals,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: or Zoo has some great originals, and we'll do those.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: It's really what serves, you know, the music gods. What's
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the best music that we can play that's original music? Right? So,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and I just you know, I heard I heard someone
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: on a radio today or radio on serious a nice
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: kind of like jazzy rock jam, and I'm just like
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: started singing to it. And it's like, yeah, maybe we
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: do something like that too. I don't know, but it's yeah,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: we're gonna blast away. We're not you know, we're not
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: going to be gentle. Obviously, there's going to be a break,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you know at some points, because we're just not going
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to destroy everybody's ears, right, you know, there's going to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: be some nice stuff in there too. But you know,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: these songs have to be dynamics, they have to be
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: fun to play, you know, they have to be kind
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: of relevant to who to what I represented as a musician,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and what the tours is named. It's the Midnight Highway Tour.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And that means a lot to me because when I
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: was when I was just a ute, you know, escaping
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: to California was a huge moment in my very very
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: young teen life. And when I finally got across the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: border at midnight and coming not up not from another
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: country but from the United States. But when I when
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I came across the border into California, I just was,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you know, on this hill. We were on this hill
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and there's these these lights below and the stars in
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the sky. It was just like this magic moment. So
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: these songs, you know thematically from you know, my experiences.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: So not all of them are when I was a ute,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: but you know they're they're there. You know, there's songs
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: of there's a couple of love songs, there's some regret songs,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: there's some escape songs, there's some breakup songs. You know,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. The originals.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Anyway, So for the actual tour part, do you have
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: that kind of mapped out? Are you on a bus,
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: are you staying in hotels? Are you nervous to tour.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: No, No, it's exciting. It's fun to get out there,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: it really is. You know when you you know, when
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you feel it the most is when when they knock
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: on the dressing room door and they say ready to go,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: let's go, and then they walk you so with the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: entourage and the guys and the staff of the venue
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and they walk you down that hallway and then on,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: you know, to the stairs of the stage. Your legs
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: kind of go out from Monday a little bit. You're like, oh,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: it's really like, you know, the first concert, right, because
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: you really want it to go. Well, here's why this
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: is going to be different from anything anybody's heard because
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: music has changed and everybody is playing with pre recorded tracks.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: They're playing on a click track, so it's a lot
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: of digital, computerized music coming at you mixed in with
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: live music. So people are not on stage necessarily listening
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: to each other and vibing off each other and playing
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: off each other and feeding off each other's energy. They're
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: kind of like at the mercy of a click track, okay,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and a pre recorded track, and that stuff can go wrong,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and it does go wrong a lot, right, so it
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: really throws up a show. We're not doing any of that.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: This is organic, authentic music played by human beings live
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: right through, not through processes through amplifiers, And we're just
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: gonna jam and we're gonna vibe off each other and
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: play the best music that we know. How.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the best kind. It's live music. Like you
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: go to a concert, you do see like you can
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: tell like they're just like like kind of like backtracking it,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: you know, and it's just it just feels like you
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: get been duped, Like why did I buy this ticket?
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: You know, Like they're up there just like singing to
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: a backtrack or whatever, you know. So it's like we
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: enjoy the theatrics, we enjoy the sound, We enjoy this
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: is the live music that we want to see. And
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: it's cool that you bring that back because that's what
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: it used to be.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And it's cool that that's what it used to be.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I want people to walk into these shows and get
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: hit with a tidal wave of nineteen sixty eight, you know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: flower power.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: People just got up on stage and jammed and played
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the living you know what out of their instruments. Yeah,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and then sang the hell out of the songs and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: it was just people. You know. It wasn't technology, it
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: wasn't light shows, it wasn't all of this stuff. It
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: was just people up there just getting down.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah. So that's kind of where we come from.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: That's where I come from, That's where every all all
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the players come from, and that's that's what we do.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: We did it. We did it on the acoustic tour.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Me and I had a guitarist with me, Sonny. I
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: played acoustic too, and that's what we did. We just
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: played off each other and it was it was a
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: lot of fun. And the fans have loved fun. Yeah,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and you know, they really love soon he's playing and
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: they gave him standing ovations, you know. He he'd solo
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and I just let him go and he'd look at
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: me and I said, keep going and keep going. It's
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: really good because if I'm enjoying it, the fans are
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: going to be enjoying it, right, So I just say, bro,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: just keep going, just play a ten minute solo. Who cares?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: He goes, Well, my my fingers will get tired, I said,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: by nine minutes, you know, but that's what we want
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to bring them, like, really in the moment, organic, live,
• 20:14

  Speaker 5: about in terms of playing music?
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: You mean playing music? Like what song or just the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: joy of playing music?

  Speaker 1: and I'll play rhythm guitar and some lead. But yeah,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: so that's it's just the acoustic thing is really cool.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: But it's it's I gotta tell you something. It's a
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: lot of pressure and it's a lot of it's a
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: lot of energy you're putting out there because it's just
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: kind of on you. Right with a band, you can
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: sort of get lost in the sound that you're making.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Not get lost, but I mean it just it just
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: engulfs you and it's like, yes, that's the sound that
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: we rehearsed. This is the moment when this you know
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: that these notes come up, these chords come up, and
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: it's just it's a very satisfying feeling, you know. It's like,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: we rehearsed it this way. Let's see if we can
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: we can even elevate it live. Yeah, in concert, Let's
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: see what we can do with this to make it better.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, I just I love it. I
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: love being engulfed and totally engaged and completely focused in
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the moment right with with other musicians. There's just nothing
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: better for me. I've been doing it since I was
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: in third grade, so, I mean, it's just something I
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: love to do.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what are you excited about to go on tour?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Just you know, given the fans something different, you know,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: it's like, okay, consider this another episode of Gilmore Girls. Yeah,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: you know, this is something a little different.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Visiting different cities, right people.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: It's just it's great. It's great being out there, and
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you know, there's something about putting on a show. It
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: gets people really happy. Everybody associated with it is happy.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: The fans are happy, everybody in the band is excited.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Everybody that's supporting the band, the staff at the venues,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: they're happy. It's just a fun time. It's a it's
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: a it's it's I mean, I don't want to sound pretecious,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: but it is kind of a spiritual experience. You know,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you're you're you're playing music for people to lift them
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: up to so that they enjoy themselves, so that they
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: can you know, kind of vibe with you and what
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: you're doing on stage. It's like you're just sort of
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: throwing out a bunch of energy out there, Adham, and
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and if they pick it up and send it back,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: then that's kind of cool thing to do, you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and feel and be a part of. So it's it's
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: an extremely peaceful, loving kind of exchange no matter. You know,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: you could be blasting away some some some rock song,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: but still people are just loving it, you know. They
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: get so excited. So it's I I feel that way too,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: because I'm a big fan myself of of of all
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: kinds of music. So it's just nice to be a
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: part of that. You know.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm very excited for you.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I thank you.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: I think this will be a really awesome new venture
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: you get to do and share it with the world.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: So I'm excited.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: You are.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: You are joyful discussing it, so yeah.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: And I have to just add on to that because
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: having been there for the first part of the first tour,
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: it was so much fun and it was unexpected in
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: a good way, and so I have been waiting for
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: this for almost and I are like, I'm excited that
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: it's like coming back around again.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: They don't, you know. I gotta tell you. Credit to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: you guys for keeping me at least uh, because you
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: know it was hard. You know, You release your first single,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: it goes to number one, it abused at number one
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: on iTunes Indie rock chart, and stays there for a month.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: You release your sec signal, the same thing happens. Nothing
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: happens to your career, no labels, no agents, no nothing.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: So I just figured, you know what, I missed my moment.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I should have been doing this in my twenties. I'm
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: well into my fifties. What am I doing here? Nobody's
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: gonna sign me, Scott.
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: If anyone is to prove that age is not a number,
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: it is.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: You, well, thank you for that. But now I'm even older.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I'm just doing this because I
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: love it so much. I just love it. I love
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: writing songs, I love rehearsing, I love getting out there
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and playing these songs. Just to you know that there's
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of tension and nervousness of all because you
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: don't know how the song's going to be received. It
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: can go great and rehearsal and you think you've got something,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and then you get out there and it falls flat
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: and you don't know why, you just don't know why.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: But and then something you just source, some throwaway song
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: you throw in at the end and everybody's just rock
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: their brains out. How did that happen? But yeah, I know,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Suzanne Elaine have been you know, putting it in my
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: year over the years, like hey, you know, maybe it's
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: time to get back out there. You know, let's get
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: out on the road.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: For just that reason. Everything that you just said, it's
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: because you love doing it. It's you know what I mean,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: And that's contagious for anybody that is in the audience.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: And one thing that I just wanted to say from
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: before was anybody who is out there who maybe thinks
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: that comic con type situation isn't quite their scene. I
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: know a lot of people because of your schedule, you're
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: out there doing a lot of those, but some people
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: sort of shy away from that. They don't think it's
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: their thing, or they really just go just to see
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Scott because they're not interested in the other parts of
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: this might really fit the bill for you, because who
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: doesn't love music. It's going to be a good time,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be a lot of fun. And you're going
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: to get to see You're going to get to see
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Scott for who he really is, not as Luke but
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: which is great. But Luke was not a musician as
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: far as we know. But you know, it's interesting and
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: every cast member has something that they do that's different.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: You know, not everybody is just an actor, so besides
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: having companies, and you know, he's a musician too, and
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: that's what he loves to do. So get out there
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: and do it. It's fun, it'll be an experience and
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: I think everyone's going to have a great time. Honestly,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: it has to be a lot of fun.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: You know. And everybody want an acoustic show. The no
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: acoustic show? Do an acoustic show, get out on the
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: road doing I'm like, no, uh huh. I said, it's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: full band or nothing, And I really dug my heels
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: in because I really want to do that. That's what
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I want to do because it's a band, because it's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you know, there's more, there's more we can do with
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the songs than we can with an acoustic show, right
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: because an acoustic show is just me, or it's me
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: and a guitarist. Because if you're going to do an
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: acoustic show, scale down and have a bass player and
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: have an electric guitar player tuned down low, you know,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: or the amp down low and a snare drum and
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: a little symbol that kind of thing. Why don't you
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: might as well just do full band, right, just go
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: for it, and then if that works, right, if that's
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: a success, then you can sort of scale it down
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: at times, right, and you can you can do hits
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: where it's sort of a scaled down version. It's more appropriate. Right.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: But you know, I want to establish this band and
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and see where it goes. So very excited, very excited, Susanne.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: You're gonna try to make it to some of them,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: I believe.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna do what I can. It's going to
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: depend on how many vacation days I have. Yeah, I'm
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: trying to like cobble something together. So I'm going to
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: be there as much as possible.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool, I love it all right, kids, So come
• 29:53
