So welcome in our good friend Hannah Gardner from the Canal Charleston Man Association
3:38
with this week's Adopt Me Please Pet of the Week. Hannah. How are
3:42
you? I'm good? How are you? I'm doing fine? Hannah Morgan
3:46
Morgan, Hannah, Hey, Hannah, how are you all right? I'm
3:47
good. Introductions are now out of the way. Let's talk about our pet
3:52
of the week this week. Hannah. Picture posted as always is on Dave
3:54
Allen Radio and Facebook and at Dave a seventy on Twitter. This week we
3:59
have the story of Sid. Tell us about Sid. Yeah, so Sid
4:05
is a male. He is two years old. He is not fixed yet,
4:12
but he will be before he leaves the shelter. He is microchips and
4:16
vaccinated, so he is good to go on that. And like I said,
4:21
he's two years old, so his vaccinations are all up today. He's
4:25
got them all and he is ready on those. He did come in as
4:29
a stray to the shelter. And then he also pulls on the leash when
4:34
he walks a little bit, but not not anything like super excessive. He
4:40
just pulls and tugs a little when he gets distracted. He does really well
4:45
with other playful dogs. He's actually just like a really all around great dog.
4:48
He wants to play, but he also wants to live with Yeah,
4:53
but he also wants to go grab his toy. So's He's a really really
4:57
loose and wiggly and happy dog. And he is just He hasn't given us
5:02
any red flags for anything so far. He's just an all around family dog.
5:08
I would say he'd be good for that. That's so cute, Hannah.
5:11
I have to tell you my husband saw the picture that we posted on
5:15
socials and the first thing he texted me this morning was, don't bring the
5:18
dog home. We have three rescues from knath Charleston Humane Association. I like
5:24
to call them the rat pack. What kind of dogs you have? Obviously
5:28
they're MutS yea with two of them are like really heavy Chihuahua mixes. They
5:32
were brothers. And then Stella is the worst date night in history. A
5:36
pit bull in Chihuahua mix, a pitt in Chiuawa mix, a pitt in
5:41
Chihuahwa mix, the dynamics of that. But she is a strange girl,
5:45
but we love her very much. Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
5:47
There's nothing wrong with them. Like the DNA testing on him. We're definitely
5:50
those dog parents as we wanted to know what, Yeah, and that's what
5:55
she is. What about Sid? Had any idea what Sid is? Um?
5:59
No, Actually I'm not sure what Sit is. He is smaller,
6:03
so I believe he's like right under forty pounds. I think he's not a
6:11
really big dog. He's a good medium averageige dog. So his looks though
6:16
I honestly couldn't tell you, I don't know. He's a good West Virginia
6:20
brown dog you get West n good old boy and he's very patriotic. In
6:25
his photo, I love it you really decked him out in the road white
6:28
and blue. He does. He looks like the perfect family dog. You
6:30
said he's great with kids. He's got some energy because he's too, but
6:32
he's not in that puppy face, so he's not going to chew up everything.
6:35
What a perfect dog for your family. Yes, he is a really,
6:40
really great dog. I actually got to spend time with him the other
6:43
day and he is super super sweet. He's very very playful, but he
6:47
also will lay with you and just sit around. And I'm sure he would
6:53
sit around and watch TV just as much as he would love to go hiking
6:56
or walking or on travel or whatever, he's a really good dog. Well,
7:00
we say each week and again, Hannah guarded for the Canal Charleston Humane
7:02
Associations here with our adopt me, please spend up the week, and we
7:05
say every week this would be the perfect dog. But this one maybe it
7:11
may it may be the perfect dog. I mean he looks pretty perfect to
7:14
me. Yeah, and great with kids, as you said, and great
7:16
with other playful dogs. Well, Hannah, I understand that you folks are
7:19
gonna be at Todd Judy, Mitsubishi and Jefferson today and tomorrow. I think
7:24
it starts at noon. I think it's so cool to Todd and Becky and
7:27
folks over there to do this. All adoption fees are covered by the dealership
7:30
and there are so actually some great pictures of some of the animals that will
7:36
be up for adoption posted on the Canal Charleston Humane Association Facebook page. It's
7:41
great to get these animals out, Hannah from time to time. Great for
7:43
you guys to get out as well. Yeah. Yeah, So we'll definitely
7:47
be at Todd Judy today and tomorrow, And basically Todd Judy is just sponsoring
7:55
the adoption fees of the animals that we're taking there. So that is really
8:00
amazing and we're really appreciative of that. So we're excited and we're ready to
8:03
get the weekend over with, but we also want to find all of these
8:07
animals at home. And we also are going to be doing Todd Judy again
8:11
next weekend at the mar met location. Okay, so you get to mitsu
8:16
Vsci location and Jefferson today tomorrow and then Mark Metton next weekend. Remind me,
8:20
Hannah, and we'll mention that again on the segment next week. All
8:24
right, what are you in need of right now? And I say that
8:26
because I see your post on Facebook and we actually have people that are involved
8:30
with the Humane Association that will text the show from time to time and say,
8:33
hey, just a reminder they need wet food or they need blankets,
8:35
and then you dry food. What are you in need of up there now,
8:39
Hannah? Yeah, so we definitely still could use some dog food,
8:45
adult dogs food, and then we could also use some kittens food, but
8:52
we still are pretty focused on the dog food. I think we did get
8:56
a good bit, but that goes really fast. We still are hot up
9:01
in capacity, but I wouldn't say like over capacity but we're still up there.
9:07
So all this food that we're getting them going in so fast, and
9:11
we love to see it coming in, But we still could do some of
9:13
that. We also could use some hashtags, some down dish soap. And
9:18
I always always always say, if you don't know what to get the shelter,
9:22
just go ahead and get some dog collars and some dog leashes, because
9:26
we always need those perfect not the retractable leashes though, just the normal leasha
9:31
is right not yes, yes, yeah. They could be like the slip
9:35
leads, or they could be just like your good old quick leads. Just
9:39
anything that we could use to walk these doggies. I think you have a
9:43
co host in the background. Well, and if you're new to the segment,
9:45
that's not Hannah's not actually at the shelter, that's at her house.
9:50
You missed it a couple of weeks ago, two weeks ago on the segment
9:54
when we lost Hannah for a bit because her dogs ran away while she was
9:56
on the air. Do you remember that, Hannah, it's just two weeks
9:58
ago, right. Did you get that fence taken care of because you said
10:01
you're gonna have to work on the fence there because literally, I mean the
10:05
great moments in live radio and Morgan you can relate to that. I mean,
10:07
Hannah just she just ghosts, man, she's gone, and because her
10:13
dogs got it. And then I have people texting the show going, well
10:16
is she okay? Did she get them? And so? But but yeah,
10:18
we got the dogs back. Did you get the fence taken care of?
10:20
Defence is on the way. We had to get fencing, so it's
10:26
on the way and we're going to be putting the whole new fencing up.
10:28
We had to escape artists as well. With still have one of our rescues.
10:31
She would jump the fence. Now we've made her too chunky and she
10:35
can't get her bum over whatever it takes. Yeah, I mean, oddly
10:39
enough, that's the same reason why I don't climb fences. Yeah, all
10:43
right, Hannah, I appreciate it. We'll talk to you next week.
10:45
Thanks a lot, Thank you. It's hand a Garden from the Canal Charles
10:48
and Jumaine association with this week's Adopt Me Please Pet of the Week. Said
10:52
is a dog's name and the pictures posted on Dave Allen Radio and Facebook and
10:56
at Dave a seventy on Twitter. You said it best. They did a
10:58
good job of dressing this dog up for the fourth of July. It was
11:01
just coming up. He needs to come to the regatta. I mean,
11:03
I hope he has a family by them, but I feel like regatta,
11:07
he's going to be down there. I'm lining a boat somewhere, just holding
11:09
court over all of us. He looks like Uncle Sam. Yeah, all
11:13
right, so sit as a dog's name, two years old, great with
11:16
kids, great with playful dogs. They're still working with him on the leash
11:20
a little bit. They said, he tends to pull a little bit,
11:22
but you know, it's okay. That's just the And what I liked about
11:26
the dog, Morgan, is that what from what Hannah says, is that
11:28
he's just as happy to take a hike as he is to chill on the
11:33
couch. Absolutely. I'm telling you, these dogs just want some love,
11:35
they want a family. They're gonna do what you want him to do.
11:37
They're gonna walk with you, hike with you, sleep with you, snuggle
11:41
you. At least that's in my experience. And my dogs are horrible,
11:43
and all three of yours, as you said, came from the shelter.
11:46
That's cool. From the Canal Charleston Humane Association. All three of them are
11:50
completely spoiled. We call them the rat pack. They've totally taken over our
11:54
lives and now they've been in our empty nesters. They are our new children.
11:58
There you gods have been replaying. That's all you gotta do, all
12:01
right, Go get to sid. Just contact folks at the Canal Charleston Humane
12:05
Association and again they're out on location at Todd Judy Mitsubishi today and tomorrow from
12:11
noon to two out in Jefferson. We'll have some pets and they actually on

16:07
the show of Bomb Stage. Jim Strawn is here to talk about it and
16:10
via the Bigley Piggley Wiggly hot Line. We have our own. I say
16:12
he's our own because you hear his show weekly here on the WCHS network for
16:17
the Appolatch and soul Man Extraordinary Aristotle Jones. Uh, he's with us trying
16:22
to Aristotle. Good morning, how are you? Good morning? I'm doing
16:25
I'm doing great. Man. We got in from Huntington last night. We
16:26
had a show down the are about dere Pullman Squares about three am. Aristotle,
16:33
This is Jim Strawn. I saw that you were down there last night.
16:34
How'd that show go? Man? It was at a warm up for
16:37
tonight's Yeah, I hear your brother got together and um, we're ready to
16:41
rock out tonight man, Roster. I fink he's going to be a great
16:42
show. Ready to kick it off. I mean with you and Roster Rafiki.
16:47
I know you got things started last night and Huntington, but we're we're
16:49
excited to have you had had that Riverfront Park. You'll take center stage about
16:53
six thirty. You got sixty minutes to entertain the audience. I've been I've
16:56
been describing you a morning per you and I love this. You were influenced.
17:02
I'm thinking he's like a Bill Withers and Darius Rutger rolled into one.
17:06
So if you like either one of those guys that I love them both.
17:08
Aristotle, you're the man. You're the total package. Brother. Well you
17:12
just keep saying that, man, I will, I will. You don't
17:15
have to pay me, you don't have to pay I just do this kind
17:18
of stuff. I can gosh where Aristotle. I had the pleasure of seeing
17:22
you open for Haley Reinhart at the Clay Center and nice, you killed it.
17:27
I love the Clay Center, It's such a beautiful venue. You fit
17:30
in perfectly with that classic soulf of voice. I love that you call yourself
17:33
an Appleachian soul man. I think that it's a perfect descriptor what was you
17:37
named? A legacy you know with Bill Withers, Johnny Johnson of course,
17:41
like you know, influencers like Bob Thompson, and just like growing up as
17:45
an Appalachian in West Virginia, you know, man, I had to find
17:48
my own voice. So I took a queue from my grandfather. He was
17:51
a gospel and soul singer who traveled around um, you know, Cole Camps
17:55
back when it was a little bit thick, more segregated into the back black
17:57
populations and he was singing in church on some days. So so I'm inspired
18:00
by gospel blues. Um, you know doo wop, R and B.
18:04
You got Little Ray Charleston, Yeah, don't you got Little Ray charleson yea
18:07
Rachel Little Charles. He put out a country album. Yeah. He was
18:11
one of the first genres lending artists. And so in West Virginia, we're
18:15
lucky because you know, we don't we get to define ourselves. And there's
18:18
a creative renaissance that's going on in the area with UM shows like Live on
18:22
the Levy and like of course Pullman Square and the Ruby Summer Concert series up
18:25
here in Morgantown. I mean, it's just like an amazing time to be
18:27
a West Virginia musician year. So I want to talk about your radio show.
18:30
Now you have a show that airs here, and that's right. Talk
18:33
about a show a little bit well sounds good to me is exactly what I'm
18:37
talking about. I get to do a deep dive on that creative renaissance and
18:41
talk to UM West Virginia musicians and artists that are either from here or traveling
18:45
through about what it means to be a creative person in Appalachian the twenty first
18:48
century. We get to highlight all their new songs that are coming out.
18:52
So every Saturday morning on right here on five a d w c HS,
18:56
you can check out Sounds Good to Me, and I mean it's fantastic.
19:00
Charleson has given me a lot to love. You guys love West Virginia music,
19:03
and we love to come down and rock out. Absolutely, I should
19:04
check out the show on Saturday morning. That's the name of the show,
19:07
sounds good to When you ask Arisonto that, he said it sounds good to
19:11
me, I thought, well, sure, it sounds good to you.
19:12
You're you're the host. Better with you, I just put that together.
19:17
Just now, I'm so slow, I'm so I would never make a good
19:19
guest host with like I'm gonna let you know. That's how I got this
19:22
show. I just named it something that people couldn't turn down. Yeah,
19:25
yeah, yeah, they have to do. It's just giving me the hard
19:27
song. Oh, if you need a guest co host on your show,
19:30
I'm in. I love Hey Morgan. I want to hear your I want
19:33
to know all about your musical taste. Man, I love it, you
19:37
know, Yeah, I mean honestly, Like, do you guys know many
19:40
more West Virginia artists, because like everybody knows, like the big guys.
19:42
You know, you mentioned Bill Withers or even something like Charles Wesley, Godwin
19:45
now or Kathy Mattella. But the music scene in West Virginia is so vibrant,
19:49
like Christian Lopez, Christian Lopez, Christian Panhanda. Right, he's gonna
19:56
be doing the Ruby Concert Series. I think in Morgantown he'll be. He'll
19:59
be up hear in Morgantown tonight. So Aristotle, you'll you'll feel his vibe
20:03
tonight. He has he has performed on the shown Bomb stage and had that
20:07
river from Park I fed about four or five years ago. Yes, for
20:11
I mean since I was a little kid. Yeah, you know, man,
20:12
I would come up. I grew up in Huntington's so we would always
20:15
come up to, you know, for the Stern Wildward Gatta and of course
20:18
for Alive with the levee. Here you get up there. I've seen so
20:22
many great acts maybe on the stage down there. I was like, man,
20:26
I gotta get there, gotta get there. What can I do?
20:26
You remember me when I were a young a younger man's hat right, you'll
20:30
remember, Yeah, so you're not. I mean, I've been doing it
20:33
almost as long as you are been on this planet. R I've been around.
20:37
A matter of fact, we've probably hung out many times and know each
20:40
other. I love it. So Aristotle, we we got you at six
20:44
thirty. I'm just going to mention to the audience again, you'll you'll go
20:45
for an hour. We'll take a little break at seven forty five. We'll
20:49
do two forty five minutes sets with Rosta Rafiki. And of course they're from
20:55
They started to Morgantown in the late eighties and then they did a lot of
20:57
shows up there in the nineties to kind of dis band and ninety seven got
21:00
back together in O seven and been touring. So it's one of my favorite
21:06
genres, reggae, reggae rock band. So I look forward to rocking out
21:10
with them. I look forward to meeting listening to you and your great vibes.
21:14
The Appalachian soul man. We're gonna have great food vendors down there day.
21:18
We're gonna have some great spirited beverages. We're gonna have something for the
21:21
children. We're gonna I don't care if you're two or one hundred and two,
21:23
You're gonna have a great time. The boaters have been coming out.
21:26
We've had three in a row. I'm looking for four in a row.
21:29
Picture perfect weather evenings. Rain rolled through this morning here Charleston, but it's
21:33
supposed to be fine by the afternoon of the evening. Maybe even a longing
21:37
was just now coming out. We finished our trip to a thunder, no
21:41
thread of rain tonight. Fans, if you're waiting, don't wait any longer.
21:44
Just know it's going to be a picture perfect evening. Seventy four degrees
21:47
a night, little breeze off the Majesty Canal, the mountains will come alive
21:49
with some amazing music. Aristotle at six thirty. Roffie was really cool about
21:57
that stage being down the river and in between the hills and everything. It's
22:00
just a natural ampathy and and that's why they're making a lot of music in
22:04
West Virginia, all the hills and hollers. We got the Clay Center inside,
22:08
we have the we have the hat at outside, and they're both perfect.
22:12
Father, You're right, hey, Dave, I gotta I gotta run,
22:15
brother, Yeah, you gotta been fun. You gotta go all right,
22:18
well, Jim's gotta go, But to Aristotle, hang out with us.
22:21
You're just one tonight, my friend. I look forward to it.
22:23
I can't wait to hang out again. Man, we'll remember this time a
22:26
brother. All right, hey guys, all right, Aristotle, I want
22:30
to get back to you just for a moment when people and you've you've talked
22:33
about it just a little bit there, when people come out for your show,
22:37
what is the one takeaway that, whether it's here in Charleston or whether
22:41
it's at as you said, You're a pullmand Square and Honey Titter in Morgantown
22:44
as part of the Ruby series that they're doing up there, what's the one
22:47
thing that people after the show, if they come up to you, say
22:49
to you and say, wow, I wasn't expecting that. See, you
22:53
know, I tell a story. I try to like communicate exactly the importance
22:59
in the legacy of the black contribution or Black creator contribution in West Virginia,
23:03
because, like, man, did you know that rock and roll the original
23:07
Johnny B. Good was from Fairmont, just down the road. His name
23:11
was Johnny Johnson and he inspired like when when Chuck Barry was seeing about Johnny
23:15
be good he was talking about him. So I think it's a sense of
23:18
pride that there was a legacy of soul music and an R and B music
23:22
that came through West Virginia before the Interstate, because the Interstate went through like
23:26
the east end of Charleston, or like through the black neighborhoods of Huntington.
23:32
But before that, you know, artists like James Brown or Edda James or
23:37
um, you know, Aretha Franklin. When they were touring the East coast,
23:41
they would stop in the small coal mining populations and the black populations and
23:45
put on these amazing shows and then you would have things to stem out like
23:48
Bill Withers, and then you would have um, you know, artists like
23:52
myself. And so what I think what it is is it makes the legacy
23:56
of music in West Virginia's place in modern music. It brings it to the
24:02
forefront. So we just celebrate that and people I hear all kinds of stories
24:06
about oh this is when still until it came to town and played at this
24:10
little church, and it's really a connective experience. My goal is to make
24:15
everybody kind of forget about what they were doing, you know, at work
24:18
before they got there, everybody comes together, and then we're all smiling and
24:22
having a great time, feeling like we're better off for having spent a little
24:25
bit of time together. You know, one thing that I would like to
24:26
do. I think somebody that's much smarter than I am should do. Aristotle's
24:30
put together a book about some of these artists that have WROT. And I'm
24:34
not talking about playing, you know, at the necessarily here at Charles the
24:38
Collisham Convention Center of the Huntington Civic centeror whatever. I'm talking about playing these
24:42
smaller venues. I'm from Logan County, Okay, in Logan County. James
24:48
Brown played in Logan County. I continue A Turner in the late sixties played
24:52
at the Armory. There's a place in Logan called Monaville. It's about five
24:55
miles five to ten miles out of I continue. A Turner came here in
24:59
the nineteen sixties to an armory that holds maybe maybe eight hundred people. Crazy,
25:06
Yeah, I see what that was the history and legacy of soul music,
25:08
and then that went to on to inspire a generation of musicians. But
25:11
what happened when the interstate came through is that a lot of those folks they
25:17
went off to um the bigger cities to kind of restart their lives. And
25:22
so people forget that soul and R and B it came from rural porch picking
25:26
and you know that kind of avenue. And then all of a sudden it
25:30
kind of went everything called less than the bigger cities. Then you all Philadelphia
25:34
or Saint Louis or Chicago was where it was born. But man, rock
25:37
and roll, soul, R and B American music was it was derived in
25:41
rural populations of royal communities. And that makes me be a little bit prouder
25:45
as of West Virginia. And it makes the story of West Virginia and Appalachia
25:48
is something that we can move into the twenty first century. We would probably
25:52
check it out. We were at the forefront of it. And so I
25:55
mean, I love just like you told me your story. I hear stories
25:57
like that all the time. You know what you should check out? Says
26:00
you know lady dan Oh God talk about her transformative musical experience. She will
26:07
make you forget. She'll make you forget your day at work the past year.
26:11
Like she she takes you to another realm. Like her voice is just
26:15
so beautiful, and she's such a storyteller with her songs, it's amazing.
26:18
Well, she's also going on to tell the story. There's a she's making
26:22
a five part film series where she's going around this date and it's called Those
26:26
Who Came Before, and it's all about kind of finding out who those creative
26:32
contributors to black West Virginia, creative contributors UM from the early twentieth century and
26:36
what they were talking about. So she's on making UM. She just did
26:40
the release of her second installment and she's finishing up the third installment. I
26:44
was featured in the first installment and so it's really cool, So you got
26:47
to check it out. It's called Those who Came Before, Lady D and
26:49
it's just about everything you were talking about about going through and finding out who
26:55
came to town when they were playing, the gospel music influence, the soul
26:57
and R and B influence. Bob Thompson has a big role in there,
27:02
talking about Charleston before the Interstate came through and what it was like when the
27:07
East End when everybody was like playing and and it was a real integrated scene.
27:11
And because West Virginia is a small town. But also because or a
27:15
small state, but because they have the riverboats. All the musicians from you
27:19
know, they would come up to Mississippi and then on the Ohio on the
27:22
riverboats, they would get off in West Virginia, hang out with all the
27:26
people here for about a week, trade off, and then they would some
27:30
other musicians would get on and go back down South. And they would do
27:33
that. So there was a rich, rich legacy of soul in R and
27:37
B and black creative contributors coming through West Virginia. Plus you have m like
27:41
the education standpoint, like Carter G. Woodson down in Huntington. West Virginia
27:45
was such a really really innovative plays as far as like integration. And with
27:51
Juneteenth coming up this weekend and Monday and then West Virginia's Birthday right next,
27:56
I think it's a perfect justaposition, like the message of like freedom and liberty
28:00
and equal rights for all Americans. Because the motto of West Virginia is a
28:03
mountain there will always be free in the motto of June tenth is like now
28:07
all Americans are free. And so man as a black West Virginia I haven't
28:11
been more proud of the state. You know growing up, because now I
28:15
feel like I have a place in the community and through my music. My
28:18
grandfather always told me that he goes man, just be yourself, man,
28:21
And I always look for a place to be myself because you know, I
28:23
would hear like, you know, country music, through I'd hear like folk
28:29
music or bluegrass music, and I really liked it. But I didn't know
28:32
that there was a soul music legacy in West Virginia. And then all of
28:34
a sudden to find out through my own roots and through my own connection,
28:38
and then to find other people that are going through the same experience. Man.
28:41
Now, when I get on stage and I get to stand there and
28:44
be proud and say, hey, I'm the apple Aachi of soul man Aristotle
28:47
Jones, We're blending all these cool styles and guess what it's from right here
28:49
in West Virginia, and people are just blown away. And plus I got
28:52
a really cool horn section. I got a really grooving rhythm section. There's
28:57
about ten of us on stage. Everybody's dancing, and it's a lot of
29:00
call and response and you're just gonna have a great time. I love it.
29:03
You're going to bring the party tonight. Aerosol, And I think you
29:06
summed it up correctly. West Virginia is a small town and the thing I
29:10
love about it most and you said it best. We're supporting each other,
29:12
musicians supporting musicians, community supporting the arts, and all mountaineers are free.
29:18
Yeah, and you get the nail on the head because, like I say,
29:19
there's a creative renaissance and in the musician in creative realm. What we're
29:25
trying to do. It's like we're trying to build the scene that we want
29:27
to be a part of. And that's part of sounds good to me too.
29:30
That's one of those really fun aspects of it when you talk to a
29:33
lot of different musicians. I think I've done about one hundred and two episodes
29:37
now, so when I've interviewed probably two hundred different musicians from around this state.
29:42
We're all looking for opportunities to just be heard. So we're trying to
29:45
connect the bands with the fans. So it's a great way to, you
29:48
know, just dive in and find new music that you might like from your
29:52
neighbor. You're like, oh, man, I didn't even know he played
29:55
in music, and he's out here with this amazing music, but it's also
29:59
a great way to here like the story. You know, I think creative
30:02
people are telling the story of what it's like to be in Appalachian now.
30:06
You know, if you listen to the music of the time, you're always
30:08
going to kind of hear the undercurrent about the struggle and the pain and the
30:12
love and the connection. And so whenever the artist what everybody's really longing for,
30:18
it's just an opportunity to be seen. And so what's happening now,
30:22
it's things like Live on the Levy and things like the Ruby Summer concert Series
30:25
and that Palatine Park they have a concert series. The city governments are asking
30:30
the musicians who should be there and giving us a chance to bring our voice
30:33
to the table. And we're like, look, man, you can go
30:36
out of state and find anybody, and you can pay anybody from anywhere in
30:38
the world. And man, if you reinvest in the artists in West Virginia
30:41
to give us a platform to be heard, then we're gonna have a much
30:45
richer and much diverse story to share with the rest of the world. We
30:48
can define our narrative from the inside out versus the outside in. And man,
30:52
I take that as a point of pride. And I know many many
30:56
musicians, visual artists, actors, writers that are all filling that same vibe.
31:02
So, Man, I encourage all the listeners to just get out there
31:04
and get engaged, because, like I mean, West Virginia and Appalachia,
31:07
it's a place to be right now. We've got lots of them hills and
31:11
hollers, So we should scream it. Woud We just climbed to the ball
31:12
on top of screaming loud. All right, Aristotle, we gotta leave it
31:17
there. It's been a pleasure to have you on the show. We'll see
31:18
it live on the Levy tonight. Man, thanks a lot, Yeah,
31:21
and check out sounds good to me tomorrow morning at eight am right here on
31:25
you know the voice of Charleston. All right, Aristotle, we'll talk soon.
31:27
Thanks a lot, Bud, Hey, we'll see you many, Aristotle.
31:30
Gen you know he's gonna be okay when he learns how to open up
31:32
a little bit. I mean, yeah, he's really reserved. I thought
31:34
we're going to really have to pull things out of it. He does a
31:37
great job. If you give a chance, check out his show again Saturday
31:40
mornings here on the WCHS Network. But again he will be at live on
31:45

38:31
just don't realize the Coal River Water Trail host eighteen thousand people a year regularly.
38:37
The tour to Coal. We contact him, We're in contact with people
38:40
from twenty four different states, and all of the major kayak groups outside of
38:45
West Virginia are getting all of our information. We had over seventy thousand people
38:52
receive our information last week on Facebook. So, I mean, when you
38:57
see the paddlers coming in, you'll see paddles and license plates from all over.
39:00
And like you say, it's a boom for Saint Albans, you know,
39:05
and the surrounding areas not just Saint Albans. It's it's it's all over,
39:08
it's all over. Keep in mind, the Co River groups are non
39:10
profitable groups. We do all this on our own to raise money to keep
39:15
cleaning the rivers. That's what we do, and put on education programs.
39:19
But but it's a it's a fun party. The mayor and I came up
39:22
with this years ago and I came up with the idea, let's let's paddle
39:27
all day and dance all night, and you're going to do that. The
39:30
schedule of entertainment that you have for both this evening and then pretty much all
39:34
day tomorrow is awesome. I saw Bucky Covington. He used to be on
39:37
American Idol. I was actually able to see him in Ashland several years ago,
39:40
and he is so much fun. Of course, Davison Brothers band.
39:44
We all love Davison Brothers. You guys do a great job. I feel
39:47
like after a day of paddling, i'd be too tired to party, but
39:50
you're proving me wrong, I think on this one. Well, you know,
39:53
the whole deal is is that the city puts on the Yack Fist and
39:58
the Co River Group puts on the tour to col and we're so excited about
40:00
being able to bring that many as many people, but not just some people,
40:05
but all their families and all their can and all their friends come in
40:10
to see two thousand people float down the Cold River and end up at Saint
40:15
Albans. And the weather is going to be great too. Oh yeah,
40:17
what a cool sence to see two thousand kayakers going down the cold river.
40:22
Believe me, it's Believe me. It's a national We're one of the most
40:24
popular events in the nation. We are the largest kayaking event in the nation.
40:30
And it's happening right here in the Canal Valta. That's the thing I
40:32
like about it, right here in your backyard. You go out and check
40:36
it out. All right, Bill, we gotta go. We run a
40:37
little short on time. I appreciate you being here. You guys just do
40:40
a fantastic job with tourticle getting all these people here, and of course say
40:44
everybody in. It all ends up in Saint Alban's for a big party tomorrow
40:46
night. Enjoy yourself and everybody be safe and have fun. We'll talk soon.
40:52
And good luck to you man. Thank you for inviting. All right,
40:54
So Bill Curry, I mean, is that cool stuff or what such
40:57
cool stuff? I'll tell you what. We do a kayaking trap at the
41:00
July and all I do is kind of float with a beverage in my hand.
41:02
I feel like I need to go watch these like actual kayakers, see
41:06
how it's actually done. I'm more of like a floater. You're float Yeah,
41:10
Well it's I mean, and again the thing about this is when you
41:13
talk Morgan, when you talk about this activity coming into Saint Albans, this
41:17
is not just Saint Albans. I mean, these people are going to stay
41:21
in hotels in Tay's Valley. They're going to stay in hotels in Charleston and
41:24
South Charleston. And when people all the time I had textures to the shovel
41:28
say why are they building hotels? This is why they're building hotels because you
41:31
have all these people that are coming here, Like the soccer tournaments that come
41:36
in. We have an influx of people coming in to enjoy the recreation right
41:38
here in our backyard. And I'm so appreciative of it, and I know
41:42
small business owners are appreciative of it. So if you see somebody from out
41:45
of town this weekend, you give them that good old fashioned West Virginia charm
41:49
and make sure they come back and visit us again. And can I just
41:52
say, as somebody from southern West Virginia and I know you're from Kentucky,
41:55
somebody when Bill Curry just said and their ken, how much I love that.
41:59
When I haven't heard the word cannon a while, I appreciate that.

44:45
Robinson is here's my co host. Today covered a lot of ground today,
44:46
we still got to get to ten questions. I want to get to know
44:50
Morgan Robinson a little bit. When now you're currently the marketing director, Yes,
44:53
of Mountain State Oral and Facial Surgery. More in that in a moment.
44:57
But you've done a lot of notable things in your life and all scenario.
45:00
I mean you've done radio, yes, so you've done this before,
45:04
I've done this Clay Center. I mean you've got a lot of different things.
45:06
Yeah, why can't you keep a job now, I'm kim kidding.
45:08
I can't keep a job, man. I have too many interests. I
45:13
think that's what I have, Like ADHD, I want to just help everybody
45:15
out and learn more about all of the things. So yeah, I was
45:19
at the Clay Center for eight years. Absolutely amazing. It's such a gym
45:22
in our community and so many people get to experience such different aspects of it.
45:27
The Discovery Museum, the Art Museum. I was there last night for
45:30
Art after Dark where they're celebrating twenty years. This is twenty years that the
45:34
Clay Center has been in the Charleston area, so they had an art exhibit
45:37
up, but also the planetarium and the performance hall. Like I said,
45:39
I saw Aristotle Jones opening for Haley Ryanhart there, so yeah, that was
45:44
so much better. Now I'm at Mountain State learning all about oral health and
45:46
healthcare. We've got twelve different locations in four states, so I've been able
45:52
to travel a little bit, which is super cool, and just learn all
45:54
about the amazing things that they're doing on a daily basis. I want to
45:58
talk about your time in radio. You did radio across town in the station
46:01
that shall will not be named. I'm kidding. They're competitors, but but
46:07
we're we're we all know each other. But uh and and but I know
46:12
coach kid, you know very well. We're one of two point seven in
46:15
Wade Hill, very good friends of mine. Can't stand either one of them.
46:20
But m and the people, and I'll fill a minute. The people
46:22
were rock Queta five in the mix. I used to work there. They're
46:24
all great people as well. Um, but how did you get into radio
46:28
when you did it? I mean, how did that happen? So that
46:30
is actually kind of an interesting story. So I was working at the Girl
46:32
Scouts at the time doing their communication. I was slinging cookies if you will,
46:36
That's what I was like to say, now, just kidding um.
46:38
And I had a blog called Charming Charleston. So when I moved to Charleston
46:44
in twenty ten, I didn't know a single soul aside from my husband and
46:47
where you from. Originally I'm from Ashley, Kentucky, originally by way of
46:51
Columbus in Atlanta, but my husband moved me here in twenty ten. So
46:53
I've been here for about thirteen years now, but I didn't know anybody,
46:57
and I wanted to get out into the Charleston community. I saw these amazing
47:00
events, the great live music live on the web. He was one of
47:02
the first things that I did when I came here, and I said,
47:05
you know, how do people learn about these things? And so back in
47:07
you know, twenty ten, blogging was still a big thing. This is
47:12
before all the big YouTube and podcasts and stuff like that. So I started
47:15
a blog called Charming Charleston dot com, and I would talk about activities in
47:20
Charleston, small businesses, highlighting and so they invited me to come on on
47:23
Friday mornings at seven o'clock at eight o'clock and talk about what's going on this
47:27
weekend. So it was just like a weekend wind up where we talked about
47:30
activities and the timing ended up just right that one of the co hosts was
47:35
leaving. Coach and I had an amazing relationship. He's still my favorite person
47:38
have coffee with in the morning, no offense day. Well, well nine
47:42
o'clock you should have already had your coffee taken care of. Exactly. My
47:45
coffee consumption was at an all time high at five am with Coach. So
47:47
yeah, so it just we had a great report and a great relationship,
47:52
and there we go. I ended up with a full time job and now
47:54
and now you're you went to the Clay Center and now you're working with the
47:59
folks of Mountains State some good stuff. You're ready to play ten questions?
48:00
Oh? Totally at random? Would do this from my different co host every
48:05
wee totally random questions that I just grabbed from here and there. Do you
48:08
have no idea what I'm going to ask them? Ask them rapid fire if
48:12
you need to skip a question and go back to it. Are you ready
48:14
to play ten questions? Because we got to kind of make this quick.
48:15
All right? All right, here we go. We pull up beside you,
48:20
and you have the windows rolled up and you're just singing along in your
48:22
car to the music. If it's got you singing that loudly and having that
48:27
much fun, what artists are you likely listening to right now? Leon Bridges?
48:30
All right? First name only your best friend in elementary school, Tony
48:34
Dawn. Sorry, that is her first name. You're from Kentucky, So
48:38
there you go. Uh, we open the middle console in your car right
48:44
now? What's on top or what do we find first? And please don't
48:46
say vodka bottle? Oh well, my second answer is now antibacterial wipes.
48:52
All right. You're at a salad bar. Name something guaranteed to be on
48:58
your salad other than dressing or lattice, olives? Olives? Okay? A
49:01
celebrity that you really can't stand. Oh gosh, oh I don't know.
49:07
Um, probably the Kardashians. Okay, as a whole, I'm sorry.
49:12
I respect the hustle, but all the name of the street you grew up
49:15
on, Happy Ridge, I'm the most Kentucky Kentucky. That's not a street,
49:21
that's an institution. It is, all right, you're flipping through the
49:24
channels at home, and when this movie comes on, you have to stop
49:28
and watch it every time. American Pie, I'm an enigma. Yes,
49:38
football, baseball, basketball or hockey sports balls. Oh we'll go baseball.
49:45
The pants are just chef's kiss. I have no idea what you just said.
49:51
But okay, Jeff, can you translate that from me? I don't
49:54
ask questions. Don't ask questions, somebody out all right? The one subject
49:59
in school or college that gives still gives you nightmares? Science chemistry? Okay,
50:05
all right, fast, last one. You've done well, kid,
50:07
Last one. I tend to be more hot or more cold hot. There
50:13

50:15
trying to crank the acapp I'm exactly the opposite of every stereotypical woman. All

50:35
All right, as somebody you know who, as I said, pretty
50:37
well known, and Charles, you seemed to be involved in a little of
50:39
everything. What makes you want to get involved in so much? I love
50:45
seeing the excitement that people have for the events that they're putting on. Just
50:49
like talking to Bill about the Act Fast, I know firsthand what goes into
50:52
event planning or what goes in to make any event great. So I love
50:55
to see when an event comes together it does such an amazing job with an
51:00
impact. I mean, it's it's really cool, and I love to see
51:02
people. I think I thrive off of other people's energy, so my social
51:07
battery gets refilled when I'm around a lot of people and talking with them,
51:09
And it's just beautiful to see when something all comes together. It's benefiting the
51:14
community, it's benefiting a cause, and people are having a great time all
51:16
doing it. Just like the Mayor's concert last night down with Slack Paza,
51:20
it was just awesome to see all of this talent, all of the people
51:22
enjoying it, everyone sort of united, just enjoying our sweet little hometown.
51:27
So what's up next for you? What's keeping you busy other than other things
51:30
you just mentioned? What projects are you working on that because you always got
51:32
a project outside your job. What are you working about? I always have
51:35
a project outside outside the job. So I got some secret things in the
51:38
works that I'll have to come on again in a few weeks to talk about.
51:42
But what's keeping you busy is enjoying my kiddos. I have twins that
51:45
just finished their freshman year at WVU, so we've got them home. This
51:47
is their last summer home with us before they move into apartments. So we're
51:52
just trying to soak up all of the fun with them. And the pants
51:54
too, and the rat pack. Yeah, don't let them. Yeah know
51:57
that I didn't mention. Five. Andy Live was brought to part by your
