• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Dude?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Man? Ay man? How's it going?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Absolutely fantastic? You out on that road right now?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Uh no, No, I'm just sitting in my I'm sitting
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: in my truck.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Oh see, that's where it's all about. That's where all
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: music goes. Anyway, after you've been in the studio for
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit, you gotta go out there and test it.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much pretty much except for my my truck
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: doesn't like my CD. But you know it's yeah, that's okay.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: What do you actually pull from those moments because a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: listener doesn't get that experience because you move from the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: engineering room right out to the car. I mean, are
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you are you fine tuning it in the way of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: being a perfectionist, or are you going out there to go
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: God dang. This is it.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: A little bit of both.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: There's a there's a mix of both, and there are
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: some things you're like, oh, I need to fix this,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and oh this then you tweak this a little bit.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: But then the other times you're like, Okay, this has
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: sounded pretty Uh, this has sounded pretty good.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: The new album. I love the play on words because
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: so many people would go the opposite direction, from the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: shadow to the sunshine, but you go the opposite, And
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I love that because I think mentally and physically it's
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: where we all want to be anyway. We want to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: kind of just travel into those areas where there are shadows.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Well, Actually, the funny
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: thing here, I'll tell the story the album title actually has.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: It's you know, it's nothing to do. There's no symbolic
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: meaning behind the album titlist something I heard on a
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: football game. Actually, yeah, I was just watching the game
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: and the announcer, uh, because he was in the middle
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: of the afternoon, so half of the field was in
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: in the shade, the other half was in the sun.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: So the quarterback threw the pass from the shade inside
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: and he throws it from sunshine and the shadow him
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: just like I'm using that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's the one, man, you get it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: You gotta love those moments because as creative people, where
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: our ear is always on the ground, we hear things
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that other people just kind of walk by, and man,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: when it captures you, don't you love that moment?
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Oh it's great.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, sometimes yeah, it's It's one of those things
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: where I mean, you can you know, you can spend
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: hours trying to find the you know, right sound or
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: the right thing, but sometimes it just hits you the
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: only like, yep, that's it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: That's the one.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the right sound hitting people. How about Broken Melody,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: The way that that song opens up I in my
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: own writing, I go, this is medicine, this is my
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: trip to escape.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Awesome, thank you.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was That's one of my one of my
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: favorite songs of the record.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Is actually probably the oldest. Really yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I started writing that probably fifteen years ago. When I
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: first wrote that, you know, that first melody line and this,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: and you know, I've worked on it. I wanted to
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: use it for something over the years, and just for
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the longest time, I just could never just I can
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: never get it right up until until recently, of course,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: but yeah, it just it took it took a while
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: to come to, you know, call come together. But yeah,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: that was one of my favorite songs for sure.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you brought that up, because not
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: even two hours ago, I was with this big A
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and R rep from from the days of R and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: B and soul of the sixties and seventies, and we
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: were talking about that, how we we just naturally think
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: these songs come together like that, that there's not fifteen
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: years when it was created all the way up to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the present day, and so much of that history is missed.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that you're willing to share that with us
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in the way of saying, you know what, it has
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a story before it got to you.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I mean most you know, most people have no idea
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: unless they you know, unless they hear a story like
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: that from the artist. Most people have no idea how
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: these songs, you know, the process behind it. You know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming most people just think it was written in
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: a day, recording in the day, and put out that day.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: But you know, a lot of times, at least, you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: at least for me personally, there's always, you know, there's
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: always a process behind it. Very very rarely do songs
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: just you know, come out one day and then they're done.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Very rarely does that happen.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Something tells me, and please tell me if I'm wrong here,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and I probably am. But a song like someone like you,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: You were passing by an I ninety in Missoula, Montana.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: You stop, buy this old ragged bar and you break
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: out the guitar and everybody starts singing with you. How
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: did that song come into being? And why am I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: getting this image of you being in an old rugged
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: bar from Montana?
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Well, well, let's I mean, I might use that story
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: now because that's a lot better, you know, a lot
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: more interesting in the way the actual song just came together.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Nothing really, Yeah, I wish I had a more interesting story.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: That's actually the way more interesting interesting story. But yeah,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I just I think I wrote the lyrics. I wrote
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the lyrics at a different time for a different, different piece,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and then it was just that was just one of
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: those songs where I just you know, had in mind,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I just need.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: A straight up, a straight up blues.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Tune, and that's just kind of what kind of what
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: came together, So nothing really nothing interesting behind that one.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry to say.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Well no, but everything about the song is interesting because
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: in fact, also in these same notes, I go, what
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: he's going to do is inspire sam Ash to reopen
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: their doors, because when you've got riffs like that, sam
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Ash has to come back because how else is everybody
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: else gonna pick up a guitar or be inspired to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: play the guitar If we're gonna let the musicians do
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: their thing, but I have no place to go practice
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it and to mimic it like we used to do
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Smoke on.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: The Water for sure.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I mean, I you know, I mean,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: if you know, if that song, in particular, any any
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: song that I have, can you know, can inspire somebody
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: to pick up pick up the guitar again or or
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: for the first time. I'm you know, I'm I have
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: absolutely no problem with that whatsoever.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: What did you learn from this project? Because every time
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you go into that studio you have to pick up
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: on something new because it's always right there in the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: wall waiting to call out your name.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing I learned is you're never happy.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: There's always I mean, especially you know this one.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: This album was a little different because I've written songs,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: you know, I've written before with bands. It's the first
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: time I've written you know, everything myself while including the music, the.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Lyrics, the melody.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: And the thing I learned is you're never, you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: never fully satisfied. There's always you're gonna go back and
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: listen to these thing even when they're all said and done,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: You're gonna go back and listen and find things that
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: you want to that you want to tweak, you want
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: to change that you wish you did, you know, you
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: wish he did differently, or just wish he did better.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: And you know, I've learned, and I had to learn,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: you know, not necessarily the hard way, but I had
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: to learn that sometimes.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You just got to go, Okay, this is this is good,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: this is done. We're gonna call it good here.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, is that how you felt when you
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: took it into the mastering? Because every time I wanted
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to master a project, they wouldn't let me near it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I think they were afraid of the fact that I
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: would be a perfectionist.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: And that and that's kind of what I that's that's
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: exactly what I did. I mean I reached the point
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: with these mixes, and you know, I was listening to
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: them and going through them, and they were you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: each song had something like I know I could nitpick this,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: but I just I just kind of reached the porn like, Okay,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: you know what, fix I told my my mixing engineer, Okay,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: fix things one, two things, and then send them off.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Don't even don't even send it back to me.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Just send it to mastering, because if you send it
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: back to me, I'm gonna pick something else.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so with this song before what before we let go?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: This one right here is kudos to you, first of all,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: because I'm my engineer telling me we don't do harmonies anymore.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: This is in nineteen seventies Eagles, and then here you
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: come with some harmonies and you've got those guitars, you've
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: got reverb, and I'm sitting here going I'm jealous as
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: hell because you get to play with that stuff and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't let me play with it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: That one, Uh, yeah, that was that was a lot
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: of fun. That was actually one of the rare occasions
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: where when I first wrote that song.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: You know, I got home one day I picked my guitar.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Like, hey, I'm gonna write a song today, and then
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: that's what and then and very rarely did that actually
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: you know that actually came to Fruis.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: In that day.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: But yeah, we started off were originally just gonna do
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: just an acoustic piece, just you know, acoustic guitar and vocal.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: But then we kind of just.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Started adding, basically started adding things and just you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: wanted to and it sounded really good. We just wanted
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: to fill it out with with.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: A lot of these elements. I think it turned out
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: turned out really good.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: As you mentioned the harmonies, that's one of my that's
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: probably my favorite part of that song is those harmonies.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Props to my producer on those for sure.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Oh and just figuring them out. That's the fun part
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: about it all. If you could have just regular people
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in there just to see how it is that, you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: for us to bend those notes, try this, go this way,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: enter it this way. I mean, there's so much that
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: goes into it and then when you hit it, you go, god, dang,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: yeah we got.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: It absolutely, absolutely. Yeah.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I gotta give a lot of credit to my producer
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: on those. He's the one that kind of he had
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of you know, he basically, you know, did
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of the creating of the harmonies, because I mean,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: he has a way better ear for that kind of
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: stuff than I do.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I just went back and sang them. He did a lot.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, That's pretty much all I did. I just I
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: just went and sang them.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Please do not Move. There's more with Colin Burgison coming
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: up next. The name of the album from Sunshine into Shadow.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: We are back with singer songwriter Colin Burgison the song Forever.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I got to ask you a question, is Barbara or
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: anybody inside your who's representing you with your music, are
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: they going to push that short country music? Because Post
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Malone and Jelly Roll have opened up the door for
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a new country beat, and I think Forever it needs
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to be a part of that, because I mean I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: really think that that's going to be a country crossover tune.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Interesting, No, no one's no one said anything. I never
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: really I've never thought about that, but anwed you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: now that you say that, I can hear it, I
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: mean that'd be great, Yeah, yeah, I can.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I can.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: I can hear it now for sure. That'd be a
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: that'd be great, Yeah, I would love. I mean, I
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: would love to have some kind of crossover with that song.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I think that'd be. That'd be awesome.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Oh and hell yeah, and the lyrics themselves. I mean,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: every everything right there is like going, oh my god,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: oh this definitely needs to be on at least a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you know, a modern day top forty style country station.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that'd be. I think that'd be really cool.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I think we should. We should make that happen. Absolutely.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: So how do you how do you prepare to take
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: this live? Because when you're sitting there in the studio
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and it can be a very intimate situation in the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: way of you're either in the engineering room dropping a
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: vocal track or a guitar rare for you're out there
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: in the big cold always an ice cold ass room.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know why that is. But then what do
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you take from that to a live audience.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess, uh, that's that's a tricky one. Well,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: like you said, yeah, it's pretty you know, it's when
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: you're in the studio by yourself like that, it's pretty,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: uh you know, pretty you know, like an intimate setting
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: and you can only do in a live setting, mean,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: you can only do.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: One thing at one or two things at a time.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: So I guess I'd say just I would just put
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the you know, take my.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Guitar and you know, my guitar and my vocals and
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: just you know, put as much, you know, channel as
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: much of the records energy as I can into those
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: just doing those two things, and then just let the
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: rest of the band fill out the rest.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I've always wondered, how is it that you
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: can take storytelling to a level of a live audience,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: knowing that you've got so many thousands or hundreds of
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: faces out there you've never met before, and it's almost
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: like you're saying through music, hey I got a story
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to share with you. Sit right back, let's go ahead,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and let's do this. I know it's going to be
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a rocker, but you know what, you're still gonna freaking
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, It's just one of those it's one of those
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: things where you you know, you just tell your story, yeah,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: and you know, hope the you know, and hope that
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: you know, everybody in the audience or everybody listening you
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: know on the radio, just just gets it. Just you know,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's I mean, you can't speak to You
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: can't speak to everybody at the same time, So pretty
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: much all you can do with the with your music
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: is just tell your story and hope it resonates with people.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: You speaking of telling your story, well, I I'm gonna
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: take a guest here, uh, I think there was a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Beatles inspiration in the song Running from the Blues. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: hear something very beatle esque, and I just love the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: flow of this song because it's got that kind of
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a beatless, kind of a hook to it. Well, aren't
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I swinging a mass.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I mean, I think indirectly, I took
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: a lot more from I feel like I took a
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: lot more from a Stevie ray Vaughan of course.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: On that that particular song. But I mean, I'm sure,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: His stuff was inspired by the Beatles in some way,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: shape or form.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: So I mean, for h.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, so yeah, I can. I can see that.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's a Beatles song. I don't know a
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: few of the songs for you Blue. I really love that, really,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: just a nice driving blue song. I think that's a
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: pretty similar, pretty similar tune.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: But but I mean, yeah, I can, I can, I
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: think I.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Can hear I can hear some beatles, and there wasn't
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: really a direct inspiration for me, but but yeah, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: can hear it.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Do you find yourself traveling the country to go into
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: these bluesy areas such as the Delta Blues or go
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: down into Louisiana or hell, even here in Carolina we've
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: got our own section of the state that has its
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: own share of the blues as well.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I haven't done. I mean, I have not yet to
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: go to any of those areas. Mean i'd love to.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I love to visit those visit those areas and you know,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: bring some of.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: My music to and see what it's like. Yeah, I'd
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: absolutely love to. That'd be great, fantastic.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: So what about a tour what you're gonna be doing?
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Not sure about a tour yet.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: We do have I do have some live performances scheduled
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: just in my uh just in my hometown area. As
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: far as tour touring, UH still kind of looking into that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: It's just it's a matter of making the uh the
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: logistics work. It's a uh, it's it's a it's a
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: tough racket these days. So I mean, if I can, uh,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: you know, if I can make it work and make
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: all the logistics and all the financials work, I'll absolutely
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: absolutely jump on it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: But see, I love all that regional music and the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: reason why, and maybe it's because I'm from the state
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: of Montana, but I mean that's the way that we
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: grew up is that we we we had our own
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: regional bands, and if other people down in Denver or
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: any place like that didn't know it, that was your
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: fault for not coming up to Montana to hear them.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: So I really love regional music, especially when, for instance,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: everybody always talks about these the you know, Philadelphia bands
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: or Boston bands. You've never heard them nationwide. But if
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you go there and Philly is digging it, now you've
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: got something you can take home with you. So I
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: love that about about keeping it right there in that
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: area because you belong to those people because they've always
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: been there for you first.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, And that's you know, and I feel like
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: that's where a lot of your most loyal fan base is.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Going to be is where you you know.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: The ones, is where you where you grew up, where
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: you were raised, and you know the ones that you know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: and it's the fans that saw you when you were
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: still trying to you know, still trying to make something,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: you know, when you were still building it from the
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: ground up. So those are the and I feel like
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: those are the ones you appreciate the most too.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Do you have any of those fans, I said, actually
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: do that because you know, if they've got an early
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: EP or something very early to go. By the way, dude,
• 16:05
