  Speaker 1: How many times have you heard about a podcast and
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you can't find it. You'll go to iHeart, you'll go
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to Spotify, you'll go to Apple, can't find it. That's
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: why we created Aero dot net. It's all on there,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: all twenty podcasts. A r r o e dot Net.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: One of the biggest ones that voice. I've spent the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: past ten years with those that have been featured on
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: NBC's The Voice. Listen to their stories those opening days
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: before fame stepped onto their path. That voice only on
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: arro dot Net a r r oe dot Net. Enjoy
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: your exploration. Hey, welcome to Missed Opportunity. I love sharing conversations.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Hosting them requires show prep. My podcasting platform features thousands
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: of guests. Now what you don't have access to are
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: my missed opportunities. That's when the show prep was done
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent. But the conversation, eh, it didn't happen.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I keep all of my notes because I believe inside
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: my heart that paths will one day cross again. So
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: let me explain missed Opportunity. It's my questions and statements
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: without their answers. I'm leaving open enough space at the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: end of every single question for them to download the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: talk and insert those answers. It has happened seven different times.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Missed Opportunity is a lost piece of history. It's like
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a message in a bottle that's been tossed out to see,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: let's locate a destination. This week, our missed Opportunity is
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: with singer songwriter Holly West from the group Dead Groove. Now.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: The band was back on the music scene promoting their
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five project, The Book of Dead Live. The
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: big push was to get radio stations on this song,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: not just on terrestrial radio, but they really wanted to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: promote it on the websites, which is something that I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: didn't have readily available back in twenty twelve when I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: got all of this started. That's when Hall of Fame
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Radio program director Bruce Logan, he was doing all he
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: could to get his radio talent to put stuff up
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: on the station website. It was cool in twenty twelve,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: but the people on the air they didn't think so.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: But it really was cool because people went for it
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and look at it today, Holly West and Dead Groove
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: have earned the label of being a heavy blues powerhouse band.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: The new album in twenty twenty five was Rubicon the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Book of Dead Live. Other attractive songs featured on the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: physical vinyl album included Fire and Damned, which I would
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: play on this streaming platform, but you know how it is,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get busted if you put one single note
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: from a song on there. Dead Groove is the result
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of the COVID pandemic. The collaboration took place during the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: World's Big Down. Inspired to grow Forward were drummer Fred
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Aikin and bassis Holly West. Now. My first time with
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: them was in twenty twenty three where we broke out
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Ace of Spades and totally took in their creative path
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of deliberately slowing down the tempo of the classic rock
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: song from Motorhead. A follow up interview was set. It
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: was gonna be January sixth. It didn't happen. It became
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a missed opportunity. Hey, coming up next the questions and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the statements my missed opportunity with Dead Groove. Hey, thanks
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: for coming back to missed opportunity. These are the questions
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that were never answered, But the door is always open.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: My missed opportunity is with the group Dead Groove. Do
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you expect to write new material as you travel from
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: town to town. When you listen to modern rock playlists
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: on the FM dial, what are you physically hearing that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: we as listeners are missing. Do you get any actual
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: free time to hang out with Glenn Hughes in the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: way of really getting into a jam session? You and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Fred have got to be on cloud nine. I mean,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: how do you prep for a road trip like this?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You got that new single out. The question is, though,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: where do we plant the song so people will start
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: talking about you. This ain't just a tour, It is
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a statement rock is very much alive and it's evolving
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: during these modern times. You know, I got to ask
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: about this because I'm such a fan of merch what
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you got going on so we can get people over
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: there to buy it? Okay, Now, the tour that you're
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: on is the Glenn Hughes Tour, which, by the way,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty six, we know it had been canceled.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: But I've been with Glenn many times, so peaceful and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: filled with so much musical exploration. Do ever just go
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: out and tailgate with the fans before or after the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: show and that's it? You're missed opportunity, a lost piece
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of history. You now know the questions, Let's locate the answers.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: The door is always going to be open. If you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: are or no Holly West from Dead Groove, please reach
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: out to me at ARROWC at gmail dot com. That's
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: ARROWC at gmail dot com and as always, be brilliant
