6:48
SPEAKER_09: It was in no, it was in um Old Town, actually.
6:51
SPEAKER_09: Well, actually, technically, because it's an old town tournament.
6:54

6:57
SPEAKER_09: It's a what they call a travel team, so it's there's no like league really.
7:02
SPEAKER_09: I mean, it will actually it's its own league.
7:04
SPEAKER_09: They started it.
7:05
SPEAKER_13: It's kind of like A B Y L.
7:06
SPEAKER_09: Well, A Y B L, but it's it's it's it it is like AYBL, but it's separate.
7:11
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
7:11
SPEAKER_09: It's um because AYBL is local, they stay in one area.
7:14
SPEAKER_09: Right.
7:15
SPEAKER_09: Uh and this one, he could play teams from all over the state.
7:17
SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah.
7:18
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
7:18
SPEAKER_09: And and they start they start the teams separately.
7:21
SPEAKER_09: And but it is a seventh and eighth grade team.
7:25
SPEAKER_09: And so we get down there and and and actually the the games were played in a place called Milford, uh.
7:33
SPEAKER_09: Which is right next to Old Town.
7:34
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, yeah.
7:35
SPEAKER_09: And um, so we lost the first game uh Saturday morning.
7:40
SPEAKER_09: Uh they were all really tired.
7:42
SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah.
7:43
SPEAKER_09: They just we we've established that they don't do well in the morning.
7:46
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
7:46
SPEAKER_09: Um so since they lost their first game, their second game, they weren't gonna play until 5 50 that night.
7:52
SPEAKER_10: Holy crap.
7:53
SPEAKER_09: Right?
7:54
SPEAKER_09: If they won, they would play at 3 20.
7:55
SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
7:56
SPEAKER_10: It was just the schedule.
7:57
SPEAKER_10: Still, that's stupid.
7:58
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it was the way the schedule the way the schedule worked out.
8:00
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
8:01
SPEAKER_09: So we ended up going at 5 50 and they won that game.
8:06
SPEAKER_09: And so they were gonna play at 7 50 the next morning again.
8:10
SPEAKER_09: Oh my lord.
8:10
SPEAKER_09: So the hotel, you know, they all partied all night in the pool and all this stuff, and and uh so then we went to the 750 game and they won that.
8:24
SPEAKER_09: I'm trying to remember this because there was a lot of basketball that weekend last weekend.
8:29
SPEAKER_09: Um and then we made it to uh I think a 1250 game or something.
8:39
SPEAKER_09: And we lost to Bangor.
8:46
SPEAKER_09: Uh and I probably had this completely wrong.
8:48
SPEAKER_09: But we l I know we lost to to Bangor, but and we didn't lose by much.
8:54
SPEAKER_09: Bangor, their middle school team, like the actual affiliated with the school, eighth grade team, had another their their final game, their like championship game for the school.
9:08
SPEAKER_09: And a lot of the players that were on the travel team were also on the middle school, eighth grade team.
9:13
SPEAKER_09: So even though they beat us, they forfeited their position so that they could go play their championship game, because they weren't gonna be able to go on in the tournament.
9:25
SPEAKER_09: Which was really nice of them because we got their place and they wished us luck and they, you know, they said, You guys are awesome, I hope you do well, and blah, blah, blah, blah.
9:33
SPEAKER_10: Oh, that was nice.
9:33
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
9:34
SPEAKER_09: Very, very, very sportsmanlike.
9:36
SPEAKER_09: So but it was so funny because you got you had a ref there.
9:41
SPEAKER_09: I can't I I think his name was Dennis.
9:43
SPEAKER_09: Hilarious.
9:45
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, he was he was kind of running the whole show.
9:47
SPEAKER_09: So he w a couple games he'd be a ref and then he'd be like running the table, and then he'd be like just kind of mosing around.
9:54
SPEAKER_09: But really, really funny guy.
9:56
SPEAKER_09: Like he'd sit down in in our section and sit sit next to one of our one of the parents from our section, and he'd be like, he'd be like, Alright, let's go, MDI! On purpose, you know.
10:09
SPEAKER_09: Anyway, so we're playing this game and some a kid gets hurt.
10:15
SPEAKER_09: So he goes, the kid is like laying on the floor, and the coach comes out and he's attending to the the student, and it's really quiet in the auditorium, and this ref Dennis goes up and he he leans down, looks in, and he says this loud so that everybody can hear.
10:30
SPEAKER_09: He's like, Look, Super Bowl's in three hours.
10:35
SPEAKER_09: So you you gotta get up.
10:38
SPEAKER_09: And everybody laughed.
10:39
SPEAKER_09: I mean, it was really, really funny.
10:41
SPEAKER_09: Um so anyway, the my our boys played they they kept winning, um, and they played three games in a row Sunday afternoon.
10:52
SPEAKER_09: They ended up losing the semifinal, uh, which was great because we definitely would have missed the Super Bowl.
10:58
SPEAKER_09: Right.
10:59
SPEAKER_09: So they they they were playing the semifinal, they got done the semifinal about four, something like that.
11:08
SPEAKER_09: And we had to go to Sam's club and do all this stuff, um, and then get on the road because we ended up getting home about seven.
11:16
SPEAKER_09: So we missed the kickoff, we missed the Star Spangled Banner, which I guess was really good.

11:35
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, but I'm not interested in the five.
11:36
SPEAKER_13: I know, I know.

11:41
SPEAKER_09: Right.
11:42
SPEAKER_09: You know, at the very beginning.
11:43
SPEAKER_09: But we we got home around seven or so, and so we ended up watching it from from then on.

29:08
SPEAKER_09: Right.
29:09
SPEAKER_09: You get stumped.
29:09
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
29:10

SPEAKER_09: And I felt like writing a song.
29:21
SPEAKER_09: I mean, uh you get that from from getting new stuff.
29:25
SPEAKER_09: Absolutely.
29:25
SPEAKER_09: You know, so that's and that's one reason I justify it as well.
29:28
SPEAKER_09: Speaking of songwriting, I've got my third class um tomorrow.
29:33
SPEAKER_09: Right.
29:34
SPEAKER_13: Oh, yeah.
29:34
SPEAKER_13: How did uh last week go?
29:35
SPEAKER_09: Uh last week was w went very well.
29:37
SPEAKER_09: Yep.
29:37
SPEAKER_13: Uh Ryan showed up.
29:39
SPEAKER_09: He did.
29:39
SPEAKER_09: Good.
29:40
SPEAKER_09: Um, and it was great because he was very enthralled uh with what I was saying, and he was I think he was trying to just engage.
29:48
SPEAKER_09: Good.
29:48
SPEAKER_09: And it was really cool.
29:49
SPEAKER_09: Um he's a very cool guy.
29:51
SPEAKER_13: I'm I'm glad I I'm glad I met him on our on the podcast.
29:54
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, and and I mean he's even cooler in person.
29:56
SPEAKER_09: I mean, it's it's he's a good guy.
29:58
SPEAKER_09: So um I didn't I'm I'm kind of planning this as I go.
30:04
SPEAKER_09: Sure.
30:05
SPEAKER_09: Because I didn't really envision what it was gonna be.
30:08
SPEAKER_09: This it was an introduction to the craft of songwriting.
30:11
SPEAKER_09: Right.
30:12
SPEAKER_09: So I could teach you um it was funny because I told him uh when Ryan sat down and everybody was in there, I said, I can't teach you how to write songs.
30:22
SPEAKER_09: And Ryan got up.
30:23
SPEAKER_09: He's like, Okay, well my money back.
30:28
unknown: Right.
30:30
SPEAKER_09: But I said, I could teach you how I write songs, you know, because everybody's different.
30:35
SPEAKER_13: Well, more much more like a template.
30:37
SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
30:37
SPEAKER_13: You know what I mean?
30:38
SPEAKER_13: You know, just you give them the tools, like, you know, the this is how I do it.
30:42
SPEAKER_13: And that's and that's come up with your own thing, you know.
30:44
SPEAKER_09: That's the thing.
30:44
SPEAKER_09: I I started to do that.
30:46
SPEAKER_09: Like the first class was we talked about subjectivity and purpose.
30:52
SPEAKER_09: Like, like subjectivity, everybody's different.
30:54
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
30:55
SPEAKER_09: Um, everybody likes something different.
30:57
SPEAKER_09: Um, and I said, I think one of my famous uh lines that came back to haunt me was uh was um you can put a cowboy hat on a pig, but it's still a pig.
31:07
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
31:08
SPEAKER_09: So in other words, a song is a song is a song.
31:10
SPEAKER_09: Right.
31:10
SPEAKER_09: Whether it's country or not.
31:11
SPEAKER_09: If you can't sit and play it on a guitar or a piano and and sing it, then is it really worth it?
31:17
SPEAKER_09: Um and then purpose, why do we write songs, blah, blah, blah.
31:19
SPEAKER_09: So anyway, I did all this in the beginning.
31:21
SPEAKER_09: And we talked about lyrics a little bit, and we talked about melody a little bit.
31:25
SPEAKER_09: You know, we just touched on it.
31:26
SPEAKER_09: It was mostly the first class was mostly to get to know them and what they want to get out of this class.
31:33
SPEAKER_09: Right.
31:34
SPEAKER_09: And but we did some some great things.
31:36
SPEAKER_09: I didn't think it was gonna make the whole two hours, but we ended up going over.
31:39
SPEAKER_09: And then the second class, Ryan was there, and we put him on the spot because everybody else contributed in the first class, so it was his turn to contribute.
31:48
SPEAKER_09: So we learned some things about Ryan.
31:50
SPEAKER_09: And then we did some exercises to spur creativity.
31:54
SPEAKER_09: Some like push-ups and stuff.
31:55
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, right.
31:56
SPEAKER_01: One, I like songs, two, I like music.
32:02
SPEAKER_09: Well, we um and that's the thing.
32:10
SPEAKER_09: It's an introduction to the craft of songwriting.
32:12
SPEAKER_09: So I could teach them like how a lot of songwriters write a song, or we could just appreciate the craft of songwriting.
32:22
SPEAKER_09: Right.
32:22
SPEAKER_09: Which is a lot of kind of what we we have been doing is we've been listening to music and like I like what they do here.
32:29
SPEAKER_09: And you see what they do here, and it's really and you know, the lyric is clever there.
32:33
SPEAKER_09: And so I like that.
32:35
SPEAKER_09: I like that it's a discussion.
32:36
SPEAKER_09: Sure.
32:37
SPEAKER_09: Um, and so we one of the things that we did was we did word association.
32:43
SPEAKER_09: I wrote a word on the board and I said, just for three minutes, I want you to think of phrases and words that that you think of when you see that word.
32:50
SPEAKER_09: And then there was like uh beginning was one of the words, adventure was one of the words, and you know, things like that.
32:57
SPEAKER_09: We did that for a couple times for th for three minutes each, and then I had them uh write uh possible song titles on a piece of paper, ripped the paper, put it in a hat.
33:06
SPEAKER_09: I picked a song title from a hat, wrote it up on the board, and said, What do you think that song's about?
33:13
SPEAKER_09: And you know, they uh had some input.
33:15
SPEAKER_09: And I didn't want to know I didn't want to know whose it was.
33:18
SPEAKER_09: Right.
33:19
SPEAKER_09: And the song title was, and she's she'll probably listen to this podcast, so the song title was Baby Brother.
33:26
SPEAKER_09: So I was like, you know, what do you what do you think this song is about, you know, and and so we brainstormed a couple of lines and the the whole purpose it was a ten a 10-minute song.
33:39
SPEAKER_09: We had a 10-minute window.
33:40
SPEAKER_09: Yep.
33:41
SPEAKER_09: And the whole purpose of this was to think outside the box and to kind of get your creative juices flowing and not edit yourself, you know?
33:52
SPEAKER_09: As Randy Newman says, don't let the critic become bigger than the creator.
33:55
SPEAKER_09: Yes.
33:55
SPEAKER_09: You know.
33:56
SPEAKER_09: So after we got a couple lines down, our friend Angie speaks up.
34:02
SPEAKER_09: She's like, okay, I have to, if this is my song, this is my title, and this is not going where I want it to go.
34:10
SPEAKER_09: I was like, you're not supposed to tell me whose it is.
34:14
SPEAKER_09: You know, because you can you can completely scrap whatever it is we come up with if you don't like it.
34:20
SPEAKER_09: Right.
34:20
SPEAKER_09: This isn't, we're not writing your song for you.
34:22
SPEAKER_09: We're just kind of you know, brainstorming on the title and coming up with stuff.
34:28
SPEAKER_09: And it doesn't have to be the song you're eventually going to write that's called Big Brother or Baby Brother.
34:34
unknown: Yeah.
34:35
SPEAKER_09: And then we're like, okay, well, let's ten minutes is gone, let's move on.
34:39
SPEAKER_09: So we start to move on.
34:41
SPEAKER_09: And then I pick another one and I write it on the board.
34:45
SPEAKER_09: I start to write it on the board, and she goes, nope, nope, that's mine too.
34:51
SPEAKER_09: I was like, you're not supposed to this is rigged, you're not supposed to say anything, Angie.
34:57
SPEAKER_09: And then and then it happens again right after that one.
35:00
SPEAKER_09: I wrote another one.
35:01
SPEAKER_09: Nope, nope, you gotta do another.
35:04
SPEAKER_09: Jeez.
35:04
SPEAKER_09: And then we got another one.
35:06
SPEAKER_09: There's only five, four people in the class.
35:08
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
35:09
SPEAKER_09: So if it's not Angie, that's gonna be anyway.
35:13
SPEAKER_09: We got on we got on a we got on another song called uh On a On a Blue Line.
35:20
SPEAKER_10: Oh, that's kind of cool.
35:22
SPEAKER_09: Um and you know, I being the county boy, I don't know anything about like subway trains or anything like that.
35:30
SPEAKER_09: Sure.
35:30
SPEAKER_09: Like I didn't even know what a blue line was.
35:32
SPEAKER_09: So my head went to I try and sing a happy song, but I end up on a blue line.
35:39
SPEAKER_13: You know, like a like a I end up with Yeah, I was uh that's actually first thing that popped in my head, something something blues related.
35:46
SPEAKER_09: Right.
35:46
SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
35:46
SPEAKER_09: So so we started writing this verse and and um and then we get into a a chorus and um and it and we s somebody suggested a subway.
35:58
SPEAKER_09: I was like, oh, it's called a blue line.
36:00
SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
36:00
SPEAKER_09: So we start moving the chorus, and then we we got hung up on a couple of things, which it's gonna happen.
36:06
SPEAKER_09: Sure.
36:07
SPEAKER_09: And then so this other guy in the back, I said, Did you did you wanna contribute?
36:11
SPEAKER_09: And he's writing in his notebook.
36:13
SPEAKER_09: He's like, Oh, I'll I'm on a different path.
36:16
SPEAKER_09: So he's like writing his own song, which is fine, you know, it's absolutely it's great.
36:21
SPEAKER_09: But so this the the class has become kind of um just appreciating songwriting.
36:31
SPEAKER_09: So I've been planning um tomorrow night's class, because we're recording this on a Tuesday.
36:35
SPEAKER_09: Right.
36:36
SPEAKER_09: This podcast on a Tuesday, it's gonna drop on Thursday.
36:38
SPEAKER_09: So um I've been planning uh tomorrow night's class as much as I can plan.
36:43
SPEAKER_09: You know, that last week they brought all they all brought guitars except for Angie.
36:47
SPEAKER_09: So they all brought guitars and and I had the uh girl in the back, you know, she's paying attention, but she's bitled away on her guitar, which is which is fine.
36:57
SPEAKER_09: She's great.
36:58
SPEAKER_09: And then we started trading um uh songs at the end.
37:03
SPEAKER_09: I didn't think we were gonna go the whole two hours, but we went and ended up going over again.
37:06
SPEAKER_09: You know.
37:07
SPEAKER_09: Well, it's a good sign.
37:08
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it is a good sign.
37:09
SPEAKER_09: Um so I'm not exactly sure what we're gonna do this week, uh tomorrow night, but uh it'll be fun regardless, because I think everybody's there for the right reason.
37:18
SPEAKER_09: That's good.
37:19
SPEAKER_09: Um and uh next week we have off and then the final week is is is the week after that.
37:24
SPEAKER_09: And I uh my goal was for them to to walk out of the class with a song of their own.
37:29
SPEAKER_09: Right.
37:29
SPEAKER_09: I don't know how I'm gonna facilitate that because w you know, it's two hours.
37:34
SPEAKER_09: Am I gonna say, okay, you know, take the next fifteen minutes and write some lyrics and it'll be really quiet, you know, and they're working on their lyrics and I don't want to do that, you know.
37:45
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
37:46
SPEAKER_13: But it's gotta be organic, whatever you say.
37:47
SPEAKER_09: It does have to be organic.
37:49
SPEAKER_09: And I don't r really want to pair them up because obviously there are some people that aren't gonna like what other people are doing.
37:56
SPEAKER_09: Right, yeah.
37:57
SPEAKER_09: You know, so I don't I don't want to do it that way either.
37:59
SPEAKER_09: So they may or may not walk out with a song of their own, but at least they'll have a hand I'd like to have them to have a hand in uh creating something out of the out of the air.
38:09
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
38:09
SPEAKER_09: You know.
38:09
SPEAKER_09: So we'll s we'll see what happens.
38:11
SPEAKER_09: But it's it's been it's been pretty cool.
38:13
SPEAKER_09: And I'm and Ryan had said something to me.
38:16
SPEAKER_09: He's he was really glad that I did this because there's nothing like it around.
38:21
SPEAKER_13: That's true, it's not.
38:22
SPEAKER_09: You know, I mean they have, you know, schools have their music classes and stuff like that, but there's nothing um for people that create songs and things like that.
38:32
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
38:33
SPEAKER_09: So um uh I I'm I'm happy I did it.
38:36
SPEAKER_09: I I don't know if I'll do it again.
38:38
SPEAKER_09: Maybe I will.
38:39
SPEAKER_13: I think I'd like to have a better kind of lesson plan and I think Well, I mean, this could be the, you know, this could be like the, you know, I'll you know, build off of this.
38:47
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, you know.
38:48
SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
38:48
SPEAKER_13: So what worked, what didn't work, what you're gonna do next time.

39:01

39:01
SPEAKER_09: It's a kind of it's all up in the air.
39:03
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, there you go.
