You'll see her opening up for Jody Messina at the regatta Monday night, Kate
2:27
Boytech. How are you, dear, I'm wonderful. How are you?
2:30
I am doing fine, Thanks for being here. You know I had Adam
2:31
Harris from Mountain Stage on earlier this week to talk about his involvement with Regard
2:38
and things of that nature. He made the statement that you were replacing me
2:42
as the most famous person out of Logan County. Girl, you better recognize.
2:47
And I think I'm gonna learn today, ain't. With all due respect,
2:52
I think that Willie Acres and Landale Murphy and some others may have something
2:54
more to say about that. I believe that Jack Damns. You know,
2:59
there might be we may have some people we need to talk to first,
3:01
but no, I appreciate that. That's pretty incredible. I'm gonna give full
3:07
credits to that to my manager, Burke Allen and PR, my PR team.
3:10
They've made me way more famous than I'm actually. We're gonna talk about
3:15
your career. You've got some exciting things going on. Of course, as
3:17
I said, you're opened up for Jody Messina Monday night at the Regard.
3:21
We're gonna talk about that a little bit later, but puts you get to
3:23
play ten questions when you're here. Before you didn't do ten questions, that's
3:25
all. It's all new ten questions, ten totally random questions to learn more
3:30
about you. So that's coming up a little bit later on. Let's get
3:32
to Hannah Gardner from The Canal Charles you main association with this week's Adopt Me
3:37
Please put of the Week. Hannah, good morning, How are you great?
3:40
How are you? I am doing fine? Say hello to my co
3:43
host, singer, songwriter and the second famous most slogan County. And there
3:46
is Kate boy Tech. Sorry Kate, good morning. All right, Hannah
3:52
is going to tell us the story of Poncho now again. As always,
3:54
Pictures and descriptions are posted to Dave Allen Radio and Facebook and at Dave A
3:59
seventy on Twitter. Tell us about Poncho Hannah. Yeah, so, um,
4:04
Poncho is a male. Um. He is the cutest, cutest little
4:10
boy ever. I mean he's not little, but um, he is a
4:14
good sized dog. He is fixed already, so he um since he's a
4:18
male, he's been neuter. He's ready to go home. He's got all
4:20
his vaccinations. Um. And he definitely has UM. And he has an
4:28
older boy personality because he is twelve, so he um na is just really
4:33
laid back. He likes to hang out. He would be a good Stanley
4:36
dog, I would say. Um, he has shown to do really kids
4:41
friendly. Um. Anytime he's around kids. He doesn't seem to really mind
4:45
much. UM. The only thing he does really mind and him. You
4:47
know, he hasn't really like done anything to show us that he like hates
4:50
it, but he definitely doesn't um encourage it, which is other really hyper
4:56
playful dogs. He likes the more calm, more back dogs that are kind
5:01
of like him, that can just chill on the couch watch some TV well,
5:05
and we talk about that, Hannah. Anytime we have an older dog
5:09
on. Older dogs are like older humans like I am, and they're just
5:11
over everybody's stuff. You know, they're just calm down, just keep it
5:15
quiet, get off my lawn and leave me alone. Would you agree with
5:17
that exactly? Yep. He definitely would be a really good like sit out
5:24
on the sports dog with you. But he definitely does have just a slight
5:29
bit of separation anxiety, which I always tell people that just so that way
5:33
they know going forward. But even then that doesn't mean anything bad on the
5:40
dog. That just means you know that they've had some issues that they just
5:45
needed to work through, and you can work through it with them. You
5:46
can definitely work through training, you can work through like positive reinforcement, like
5:51
different things like that. You can work with it, you can look it
5:54
up. We even give resources on how to help with that going forward when
5:58
you adopt. So he's like nothing crazy. He just has a little bit
6:01
of anxiety when his owners leave and totally understandable. Um. But he is
6:06
a catch potato and he walks really well on the leash. Um. I
6:11
mean, he is older, so he doesn't really plan on running the round.
6:15
He's very very good on the leash, and he would be good for
6:16
even an older person too, or an older couple or something if they wanted
6:20
just an older dog to give it a home. And he would be a
6:25
great dog for a foster as well because he is so much older and he
6:29
um was very very like Skinny and Moner so when he came into us.
6:31
So even if it's not a permanent home for the rest of you know,
6:36
his life, then a good foster home would be a great idea as well.
6:42
And he's, like I said, he's a beautiful dog. And you
6:44
can get day valid radio and Facebook or at day A seventy on Twitter.
6:46
Take a look at the dog. Now. He was taken in from the
6:49
cabin creak area, is that right? Yep? Uh? And he was
6:54
I guess a stray or was her owner surrender? What was the dealing?
6:58
He came in as a stray, So I believe he was found abandoned at
7:03
a house. And I'm not sure you know, like exactly what the scenario
7:09
was, but I didn't know that it was a I think it was an
7:14
abandoned house and he was also abandoned there and the neighbors all around would feed
7:17
him and stuff, but you know, where they couldn't always be there to
7:23
feed him and stuff like that. He was very very scanny. He was
7:25
very monurished when he came in. So we've been working with him. He's
7:29
been with us since May twenty seventh. So he did go to foster there
7:32
for just a minute. But they did say that, you know, he
7:38
was really great in the foster home and that he was just a really overwhelm
7:42
or overall really good dogs. So he is. He's really really good.
7:46
He would just be good for a nice family or someone who wants to foster
7:49
him out for you know, however long it may be, and they could
7:54
always bring him back, or you know, if you just want to adopt
7:57
him. He is twelve, so he he definitely needs a good house to
8:01
live out, you know, however long he has. And he's so cute.
8:05
I mean, I'm looking at his picture now and his eyes. You
8:07
know, you can tell a lot about animals in their eyes, whether or
8:11
not they're rowdy or hyper. And he just looks like an old soul.
8:16
He does an old soul. I actually had him out on the leash with
8:20
me yesterday and a bunch of volunteers were walking him and stuff, and everybody
8:24
that walks him was just like, you know, I could just casually walk
8:28
around and he'll walk with me. And he is fine walking slower, he's
8:33
fine walking faster. He just does whatever you want. Basically, he's very,
8:37
very good. And that's something that should not be taken for granted.
8:41
I have an Irish doodle and he is wild. You can't take him anywhere,
8:45
and he's not even that big. Yeah, I have something similar to
8:50
that, as we've heard live on the air a couple of times on our
8:52
dogs our cats get loose. Hey, Hannah, you'll appreciate this. I
8:56
got a text here, and I think this is from the folks that remember
8:58
Kruton is our our dog, the one that we got adopted about a year
9:01
or so ago, And I'm going to presume that this is uh from them.
9:05
It says, Poncho sounds a lot like he's a lot of characteristics of
9:09
Kruton. Uh, he's going to joy to be with. I encourage people
9:11
to adopt older dogs, no potty training. And this was the dog,
9:15
okay, that we got adopted about a year or so ago, named Cruton.
9:18
This dog is now has his own hashtag. It's Chronicles of Kruton and
9:22
this family from Saint Albans took the dog in and they take it. They
9:26
brought him to see me at the food Truck festival. H and Poncho has
9:30
such a cool name that it could easily be hashtag Poncho. There you get
9:35
always always marketing as she is. Um, some great news and I wanted
9:39
to get to this out of hand before we let you go. I posted
9:41
it on Dave Allen Radio. There's the animals now, uh Dave Allen Radio
9:45
and Facebook. The animal with the longest tenure at the shelter, Pappy got
9:50
adopted. And if you want to see pure joy, go to either my
9:54
Facebook page, Dave Allen Radio or the shelters Facebook page. Watch the TikTok
10:00
video that you all did with Pappy joining his new family. That was good
10:05
stuff. Yes, Um, we all loved Happy as a shelter. We
10:09
all have seen him through just everything. He's been there for so long.
10:16
M he I think almost a year if I'm thinking right. Um, he
10:22
definitely was due to go to a good home and he is a great dog.
10:26
He just you know, he had some of his issues, but he
10:28
was so so happy all the time, like we called him Happy Pappy.
10:33
He was very very older dog too, and he got adopted. And again
10:37
the videos posted on Dave Allen Radio and Facebook go watch period, was that
10:41
you leading the dog out, Hannah, because it kind of looked like video
10:45
and the dog was just losing his mind because he got a family and he
10:48
was the oldest of the longest tenured uh dog, he had seniority there.
10:52
That's a shelter. I want to talk quickly, Hannah about the Fourth of
10:54
July and um, you know, don't get me started on the rudeness and
11:00
complete uncarrying of some people when it comes to fireworks in residential neighborhoods. I'm
11:03
talking about but animals and a lot of them don't do well around the Fourth
11:07
that many go missing or completely just lose their their minds around this time.
11:11
Any any advice that you could give to pet owners about how to handle their
11:18
pets around the Fourth of July with the fireworks. Yes, even if your
11:22
pet is like used to fireworks or whatever, I just honestly recommend just keeping
11:28
them inside, keeping in secure, just we watch them, make sure that
11:33
you know there's no well even watch around outside because you might even see some
11:37
straight dogs running around that are scared and stuff like. Just check your home,
11:41
make sure that they're doing okay. Make sure that if you do let
11:45
your dog out or you take them with you that day or got night or
11:48
something, make sure they have the correct identification tags on them. If they're
11:52
not microchips, go get a microchip. It definitely is worth it, I
11:58
promise, even if you think that and no, they are not GPS checkers.
12:01
They are just something that your information goes on for if you earth the
12:05
dog gets missing and it goes to a clinic or a shelter, we can
12:09
always call you and say hey, we have your dog and then you can
12:11
come and get it. It just makes it a lot easier. But if
12:15
you lose your dog during this fourth of July, there's also a site that
12:18
you can go to. It's called pet colovelost dot org and you can register
12:24
your pet there if they go missing, and you can put photos, information,
12:28
it asks the whole none works, So it's definitely something to consider if
12:33
your pet does go missing. And then if they don't go missing, just
12:37
please make sure you're watching them, make sure they're safe for that whole night.
12:41
All right, Hannah's always it's a pleasure to talk to you. We
12:43
will talk again soon. Thanks a lot, thank you too, Thank you
12:46
all right, Handah Garden for the canal, trust you being association of our
12:48
adopt meee please spat of the week. A couple of other things I want
12:50
to mention animal related with all the problems with the smoke with the Canadian wildfires
12:56
around here, which meteorologist Brian Hughes tells me we just got a little bit
13:00
longer to go and it's all gonna dissipate you. If you have your out
13:03
if your pets outdoors, you need to make sure they have extra water,
13:05
you know, because pets can be affected by this smoke and stuff just as
13:09
much as as humans can. Also, I understand that the shelter they are
13:11
low on dog chow. So if you got some donations you'd like to make
13:16
some dog cha other always need a dog chow, you go up there and
13:18
make a donation to the naw Charst Humane Association. All right, so let's
13:22
recap here. Kate Poncho the dog's name picture posted on at Dave A seventy
13:28
on Twitter and also dave on on radio and Facebook. Older fellow twelve years
13:33
old, very laid back, up to date on all of his vaccines,
13:35
he's neutered, great on a leash, great with kids. Does have a
13:39
little bit of separation anxiety. So maybe I was thinking, Kate, he
13:43
might be really good for somebody who doesn't do a lot of running around,
13:46
you know, like an older couple to older family. Really, all the
13:50
training and the I guess the hard work, as people would say, with
13:54
this dog has already completed. Yeah, so you're just I mean, you
13:58
know, you're kind of getting my spirit animal if you adopted poncho dog.
14:01
You know, he likes okay, he likes the couch, and he's laid
14:05
back. Keep prefers calm dogs. I prefer calm people. He's older.
14:09
I'm older. You know, I have separation anxiety, you know. But
14:13
no, all jokes aside. He is a beautiful dog. And my sister
14:18
actually she adopted a dog several years ago that has and suffers from separation anxiety.
14:24
And you know, with the right with you, if you work with
14:26
them and you spend time and focus, you know, it really kind of
14:30
takes care of itself over time. So I wouldn't let that detour anyone from
14:35
you know, adopting Poncho. Yeah and older. I mean, everybody wants
14:37
a puppy. I can completely get that. But until they have a puppy,
14:41
yeah, until they have a puppy, you're that's that's a very good
14:43
point. But I think that use these you know, we use Crouton as
14:46
an example. This has been a fantastic pet for these folks out of Saint
14:50
Albans and I'm sure Poncho would too. So go get Poncho. That is
14:54
your side. But five Dy Live is brought to part by your hometown baseball

This story is called the Ugly Truth about time Share. If you think you've
17:06
done your family a favor by buying a timeshare, you need my help.
17:10
Hello. I'm Chuck McDowell, CEO and founder of Wesley Financial Group. Ten
17:15
years ago I started helping folks canceled or timeshare and in the process started what's
17:18
now called the timeshare cancelation industry. Timeshare is the only thing that you can
17:23
buy that you can't tell me how much it's going to cost or when it's
17:26
going to end. When you buy a timeshare, you give them a blank
17:30
check to fill out any amount they want for annual maintenance and assessment fees.
17:34
The crazy thing is this never ends. Even when you die. Your family's
17:40
now going to be stuck with this burden. Stop the insanity today. Call
17:44
my office now. If we take years of client I guarantee we'll cancel your
17:48
time share or you'll pay nothing. Call for your free information. Kid eight

20:36
the Health Planned Kids Zone, the West Virginia International Yeager Airport Regatta Carnival
20:41
that'll be on the boulevard, and of course all the fun and festivities and
20:45
activities that are going on literally all around town. And a lot of folks,
20:49
of course focus on the entertainment. And now that's Kate's part of that
20:55
entertainment. But we got better than Ezra that'll be playing tonight. We've got
20:57
flow Rider coming up. Cool in the gang. Every I mean everybody this
21:02
one. When I said when I had Adam Harris in uh, Tim Brady
21:04
on earlier. Andy, when you talk about cooling the game, it really
21:10
goes and it transcends generations because those that were around in the early nineteen seventies,
21:15
I was, I was a kid, but I was around in the
21:15
early nineteen seventies. Cooling the Game comes out seventy two, seventy three,
21:19
you know, with with with Jungle Boogie, and they continued through the disco
21:23
era and of course everybody knows the iconic celebration. They continue with hits into
21:27
the eighties and they continue out territory today. You're gonna have a hard time
21:30
finding somebody that doesn't like cooling the gag, right, I mean, well,
21:34
when when we saw that as an option, uh, we pretty much
21:38
jumped at it because we knew that it was. We try to program entertainment
21:44
that's going to cover a variety of genres, right, so that different people.
21:48
I mean, I tell you who's going to be a big draw.
21:51
It's flow right up. Yeah, that's gonna be huge from everything I've heard.
21:56
Yeah, in the gang you know King, Yeah, I told my
22:00
mama said I'm performing there at Goddess. She said, that's great. Um,
22:03
when it's cooling the game, you know, well, that's that's one
22:07
of our means. Your mother and I are the same age. And by
22:11
the way, by the way, Mama is celebrating her birthday to day.
22:14
It's her birthday, am all right? So yeah, yeah, happy birthday
22:18
Mom. Three years old. She don't look a day over eighty. I
22:22
can't believe it. She's fifty three today. She's uh, well, see
22:26
she's got me beat my a couple of months. I'll be fifty three in
22:27
September. But he's older and wilder. She's older, all right. So
22:32
so let's get back to we'll talk about about we didn't mentioned Jody Messina.
22:36
Who's gonna be playing on Monday night, And that's who Kate's gonna be open
22:37
up for Jody Messina And we have a performance on the fourth of July two
22:45
the Battle of the Bands. I want to mention also tonight's warm up band
22:49
is a band called Crunch and their drummer is Dino Stanley. It's a band
22:55
that he started when he was part of starting when he was at Ohio Verse
23:00
many many years ago. They play occasionally that we know from right here in
23:06
Yeah, from Philadelphia, Yeah, and lifelong Charlestony and so uh Yeah.
23:10
You know, it's really nice that we've got this mixture of local activity acts
23:15
that are going to be helping warm everyone up. Um, and then some
23:21
pretty nice names as well. Absolutely, that's a beautiful thing that you have
23:25
allowed the opportunity to be extended to local acts. I mean those are dreams
23:30
come true. You're making dreams come true, you know, across the state
23:34
having this regard to bike as a dream come true. I mean, you
23:37
know, it has such a massive impact financially and just uh culturally and uh
23:45
the psych of the community is raised with this activity. And we were,
23:52
um, we last year exceeded our expectations and this year anchilely and and bodies.
24:00
That's right. Yeah, and you know, I mean two hundred and
24:03
some thousand people, thirty one and a half million dollars impact. Uh uh.
24:07
I think we had like eight states that came in for it. The
24:12
hotels are filled. I mean from the from the economic perspective, it's terrific.
24:18
But I think from just the swag of Charleston, it feels good,
24:25
you know what I'm saying. I mean, it just feels good. Yes,
24:27
there's a it's I know our air is smoky, but here but there's
24:33
a there's a good feeling in the air, and when you pull into Charleston,
24:36
there's an exciting and like, oh my gosh. You know, for
24:40
me, it's it's more of a grateful and gratitude feeling. But um and
24:45
I you know, I think a lot of people, even if they're not
24:47
performing or directly a part of our got it, are still very grateful that
24:51
we have this in our community. Yeah, and you know, we've got
24:53
ways for I mean, for example, a number of the athletic booster clubs
24:59
at the various high schools are going to be selling beverage, whether it be
25:03
beer or soft drinks, and they'll be able to make money for their boosters
25:07
clubs off of the tips. There's just a lot of ways that we try
25:12
to reach out and positively touch the community, not just by providing a big
25:18
show and a lot of fun, but these other things too and many so
25:21
many free things. Oh yeah, that's what I like about it. And
25:23
that's one of the things that we talked about the organizers and talked to the
25:26
mayor about when this whole idea was being floated around no pun intended about bringing
25:30
Regatta back, was that there are so many free things that people can do
25:36
and families. I mean in these tough economic times. Sound like a commercial
25:38
now, but at these tough economic times, there are so many free activities
25:41
that are gonna cost you anything just to come down to take any And you
25:45
know, we've got some new things this year. We've got the Music Maker
25:51
Saturday over at the main Library on Saturday afternoon. We have the Tutors Biscuit
26:00
World hot dog eating contests on the fourth of July at five thirty. You
26:07
got I bet your your weight. You can't wait to jump into that now,
26:10
I said, I'm a foodie. I'm not a competitive foodie though.
26:12
I like to eat for pleasure, not for not for sport. But but
26:17
but it is going to be it is going to be a big event.
26:18
And these are part of other similar festivities you know, around around the nation's
26:23
Fourth of July. You know, nothing like a little glutting in the fourth
26:26
of July and showing off what we do best here in West Virginia, you
26:30
know, the terance. I'm gonna say this is one of the interesting One
26:33
of the interesting things about these about these food contests, though, is that
26:37
a lot of times you have people that come in from other states just to
26:41
enter the contest. I am seed a hot dog eating contest. One didn't
26:44
participate. I am seated. And the fellow that one was a fellow from
26:47
Georgia that came in. That what he did, he had his work schedule
26:52
worked out that he worked. Um, he was all Friday, Saturday and
26:55
Sunday and during the summer. That was how he supplemented his income was by
27:00
raveling and going and eating and entering these hot dog eatting Hey, you know
27:06
what, everybody, everybody's got a plan, everybody's got everybody got a hustle.
27:10
We're talking again with Andy Richardson about the regatta. Talk about what goes
27:15
in in the two or three minutes we have left here. Andy, talk
27:17
about all the logistics that go into putting this thing together. Because people come
27:22
in to Charleston and they see, Okay, this carnival's going on here.
27:26
We got this in this musical act here, and this food truck and how
27:30
many food trucks we have this year? We have think forty I think forty
27:33
some food trucks. But but but when you and Charleston is a large city
27:37
by West Virginia standards, but it's a small city by standards of everywhere else
27:41
as far as the area goes, where you can have these things. I
27:45
mean, thank goodness, we do have the Boulevard in Charleston. I don't
27:47
know what we would do without that, and the waterfront of course, but
27:49
there's a lot that goes into that. Man to making sure that the that
27:52
the ferris wheel gets set up, that we have the this truck that needs
27:56
this generator, and the stage and the and the big screens. There's a
28:00
lot of work goes into that. I was over at the boulevard yesterday and
28:03
we were first of all, the last year we did not schedule, uh,
28:08
what truck, what food truck comes at what time? This year we
28:12
did because we have to do We knew we wanted to get Logistically, we
28:15
wanted to get the trailers in, let the pickup trucks pull the trailers get
28:19
away, then get the trucks that are actually food trucks in, and I
28:25
mean just the logistics of making that happen and helping them get on and off
28:30
the boulevard. What we will do what we did last year after the regatta,
28:37
we at our board meeting in August, we began a punch list of
28:41
Okay, what worked, what didn't, what do we need to do differently?
28:45
And you know this is not something that in April we put together and
28:52
roll out the regatta. This was a year round activity of the board and
28:59
the folks from the city, uh that help us on this and volunteers.
29:04
I mean, so you know, whether it be reaching out for acts,
29:10
you know, you'd be surprised how difficult that is, because you know,
29:15
you gotta you gotta meet your budget right because a free concert, it's not
29:19
like we're gonna be making U money off of people buying tickets to come to
29:25
the show. But we've got to h harmonize schedules, uh make sure,
29:30
I mean, and we're we're a pretty attractive spot if a band is touring.
29:34
You know, we're sort of between oh, Pittsburgh and Charlotte or Louisville
29:41
get a lot of those. It's not a bad stop. Yeah, yeah,
29:45
but we'll have um. In terms of the logistics, you know a
29:51
lot of people don't understand why you close the street as early as we did.
29:55
Then basically after the after the live oft the Levy last week, and
30:00
we closed the boulevard and began closing the other streets on UM, I think
30:06
Monday, the side streets. And but when you think about that Ferris Whee,
30:11
yeah, you're just mentioning it or all those other carnival rides or you
30:15
know, getting the stage assembled and put up and uh, and then we
30:21
have to get extra generators for power down at the well first with the food
30:26
trucks and folks like that, but also down at the levy itself. We've
30:30
got thirty Stern wheelers coming in right. Wow. I mean it's it's incredible,
30:37
that's and that's so and that's something I know that that Brian Hughes has
30:40
done, you know, a and others. But you know, Brian having
30:44
in the fact that he lives on one right, you know, uh,
30:47
he's been a he's been a major helping getting Yeah, and I want us
30:49
to lose sight. You know. Yeah, there's a lot of different things
30:52
going on. It's a lot of fun. But you know this was was
30:56
in its um heritage, a very significant rivertown and this was designed in the
31:03
first place. You know, the vision of Nelson Jones back in the early
31:07
seventies was to celebrate the stern wheelers and the and the culture of working on
31:14
the river, right, and um, that's an important part of the Charleston
31:18
heritage and I didn't want us to lose sight of that when we're celebrating.
31:22
Uh when when in so many other ways? Yes, yeah, exactly right.
31:27
Well, uh, you know it all starts, as I said,
31:30
two hours in about twenty two minutes. Uh, and so many different things
31:33
going on. Just go to the website. You know, the Regotta does
31:34
a great job with their website. It's all over social media. We've gotten

35:28
deal with the carnival passes for Regatta is that an all day pass is an
35:31
all day pass available allowing unlimited rides from morning to the close of the carnival.
35:36
I sent that during the break to the city and the response I got
35:40
was, I've been told twenty five dollars for a carnival pass. That's like
35:44
an all day pass kind of thing. If I'm saying that wrong, that's
35:47
like an all day pass kind of thing. If I'm saying that wrong,
35:51

35:52

35:59
all right. So you've been on a WorldWind of media out promoting your music
36:05
and matter of fact, you're leaving here straight up ten o'clock to go to
36:07
go somewhere else. You could be opening up for Jody Messina on Monday night.
36:14
Is this the biggest crowd that you played in front of people? I
36:16
mean, I mean, to my knowl I mean, you know, I've
36:19
not played Regatta before, but from what I'm told, yes, okay,
36:22
so this is the biggest one. So nervous at all? Yes, well,
36:28
I mean somebody told me one time, you know, the day that
36:30
you don't get butterflies as a day you need to stop doing it. I
36:32
agree, And you know, I think in part, I want so much
36:37
for my intention behind why I do this for a living, to come through
36:39
in every performance. So when you're magnifying your crowd, you know, you
36:45
feel like that intention needs to be so much stronger to reach everyone. So
36:50
I think that maybe that's where the nerves are coming from. And of course
36:52
I just want to make sure I do a good job for everyone, and
36:54
you know, let them leave their worries at home for the time they're with
36:58
me and all that good talk about your beginnings. You know, you come
37:00
from a very musical family. Your mother, who we referenced earlier, is
37:05
um one of my one of my best friends from childhood. We literally played
37:07
together when we were luar kids. Um. You know, she's a phenomenal
37:12
singer in her own right. Your sister Jane performs with you on a regular
37:15
basis. She is also a phenomenal talent. Um, You're a lot like
37:22
me, except you actually do have talent. And what I had. What
37:24
I mean by that is you grew up in a house that was filled with
37:27
music. Is that right? Of all kinds? Of all kinds? Um?
37:30
You know, there was everything from bluegrass to gospel to country music to
37:35
everything eighties that you could possibly you know, pull out. And then late
37:37
seventies, my mom made sure I was introduced to real good music, you
37:40
know. And sometimes you need to be really interested to real bad music too.
37:45
Sometimes, yes, and that's where my dad comes in. At what
37:51
point did you, um know you wanted to do this as a career,
37:54
Um, I think when you, I think, when you truly are connected
37:58
with music in the way that I am, you kind of always know.
38:00
But you're a child and you go through adolescence and you don't really know that,
38:04
you know, it's just something that's in your subconscious. So in my
38:07
early twenties, I realized this was something that I wanted to pursue as a
38:12
career, but I had already established a family and right and now you and
38:15
you've learned real quick that you can't just take off on your path to This
38:22
is quite different than what a lot of people in the music industry take because
38:27
you know, you played a lot when when you were younger around the Logan
38:30
and surrounding areas, but your career, although you know, you were doing
38:35
well with it and you were having fun with it, your career didn't really
38:37
pick up like it has until the last couple of years because you were quite
38:42
busy and we were singing when you cut at fairs and festivals and so on
38:45
and so forth. But you were quite busy during that during the time leading
38:49
up to this talk about them. Absolutely, you know, I realized very
38:52
quickly in my early twenties that staying gone and being on the road like that
38:57
was not going to suffice as far as I was concerned in the way that
39:00
I wanted to be a mother, because I have a daughter, and at
39:04
that time, I have two daughters now, but at that time only had
39:07
my oldest, and so I took off and I directed a church choir for
39:12
years and did that and just sang, you know, car concerts and in
39:15
the shower and thank my daughter to sleep from all the all the greatest places,
39:19
you know. And then after my divorce several years ago, I set
39:23
my family down. And I have two daughters now, so that's twice as
39:27
difficult for this career. So my mom was all on board, you know,
39:31
like you said, she is about grunning music. So she understood where
39:35
my heart was and my focus was, and she has fully supported me.
39:38
She helps me with my girls so that I'm not away from them long periods
39:42
at a time. And we just put the pedal to the floor and have
39:45
been doing that now for about two years and it's just really skyrocketed since then.
39:50
But it definitely takes a village. We're talking with Kay Boychech, singer
39:54

Dot Uster call three or four or four four zero one zero one. One
40:07
of the things I love about you A Kata is zero songwriter as well a
40:10
deeply personal songwriter. You really pour your heart and soul into your lyrics and
40:16
you write about real life stuff. Yeah. When I went to Nashville,
40:22
my first producer I was working with, he said, what do you want
40:24
to write about? Do you want to write? I sat down to write
40:27
and he said, do you want to write about something you think could be
40:29
on the radio, something fun? And I said, no, I want
40:31
to write about something real. I want to write about it an experience that
40:35
I went through. Music heals me. I want to share a healing experience
40:37
so that hopefully other people can heal from that, you know, pay it
40:40
forward type thing. And he said, where do you want to start?
40:44
And I said at the beginning? He said where's that? And I said,
40:46
well, I got knocked up the age of nineteen and he said,
40:50
that's our first line. And that was the first song I wrote in Nashville.
40:52
So the first line of the song was just so we're correct, was
40:57
I got knocked up at the age of nineteen And that first line I knew
41:00
that one in church, did you didn't? Well, I mean that's where
41:05
you go to confess that's right, that's right. But you know, it's
41:07
just, you know, I think you come to a point in your life
41:10
where you decide what kind of person you want to be, and I just
41:15
want to be authentic in every way, and songwriting is definitely the way I
41:19
portrayed that the most. So I guess it's just because I'm fascinated with songwriting.
41:22
Uh. And I've known songwriters Kate that locked themselves into a room and
41:28
say I'm going to write, and writers in general, they could be you
41:30
know, people doing magazine articles or novels. They say, all right,
41:34
I'm going to write, and they sit down and write. Others keep a
41:37
notepad or or you know, some sort of a device with them at all
41:39
times that they see something when they stop at the grocery store, something that
41:44
you know they're they're constantly writ it. Do you have a certain way that
41:47
you approach songwriting? Is it a combination of all? Is it? How
41:51
do you? How do you do it? Mine's kind of a combination.
41:53
M But I definitely keep something with me at all times. But just because
41:57
you never know what ideas on us. You know what, someone may say
42:00
that what sparking I do within you, for example, and excuse me,
42:05
I apologize for the roughness in my voice and get rid of that between now.
42:07
You got between now and Monday to get rid of that now because you
42:10
wake me up so dagon early. That's what it is. So, my
42:15
daughter, this is just an example of how an idea can come from you
42:17
know, anyone, at any time. My six year old daughter looked at
42:21
me the other day before I was headed for another trip to Nashville. So
42:23
I'm in the studio now recording some new stuff. She said, Mom,
42:28
how long will you be gone this time? And I said not long baby,
42:30
And she looked at me and said, well good, because I never
42:34
want to miss you, So that's going to be able song. Wow,
42:37
that's powerful stuff right there. Ever want to miss you? I never want
42:40
to miss you, know So it's just moments like that, So you definitely
42:44
always want to have something to where you can write down immediately if something like
42:47
that would happen. Yeah, I talking with Kate Boytech. It's nine fifty

Over the last couple of months, you've been spent a lot of time
49:14
in Charleston. You're the ambassador they call you, I think for the city
49:16
of Charleston. But you've been working in Charleston, and you've been doing a
49:21
little film project as we say, yes take it from there. Yes,
49:24
So I've had the opportunity to shoot my very first music video in my home
49:29
state and in Charleston, West Virginia. UM, I want to give a
49:31
shout out real quick to the Convention and Visitors Bureau because they fully made that
49:36
happen and we're super hands on and kind and um you know it just it
49:40
was a dream of mine to shoot the video and an even bigger dream of
49:44
mine to shoot it in my home state because again that goes right along with
49:46
the authenticity of the song. So just felt it was shot in and around
49:51
the Charleston area. Shout out to our Tim Morris, who I think helped
49:53
you out a little bit. Jim Morris helped me out absolutely with Shaneley limousine
49:58
service. Um, there was so many people from Taylor Books to write,
50:01
you know, the people at Capital Market that really were just okay. So
50:05

you told it at one point, Tell the story about how you and that's
50:45
the song you wrote, right, I did? Yep, I wat talking
50:46
about writing the song as we close. I wrote the song with Kim McLean.
50:51
She just wrote a book with Loretta Lynn, who now has passed that
50:53
she's promoting. We sat down. I wanted to be authentic again and tell
50:58
a true story that that's exactly what we did. This song was written on
51:01
one of Lareda Land's guitars, So that's something that I really cherish and we'll
51:06
carry with me always. And what was the inspiration for the song, Well,
51:09
my divorce. It was written about the last day that I shared in
51:13
the house with my ex husband and I got in the car and I drove
51:15
through Charleston to clear my mind. And so this video is going to make
51:20
its premiere on CMT. Now, as do we know a time or how
51:22
does that? How does is it on the website? I'm kind of out
51:24
