- 1:00SPEAKER_06: They're all like, yes.
- 1:02SPEAKER_04: Okay, so we do we took uh last week off to as a kind of a between season buffer.
- 1:08SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:08SPEAKER_04: You know, we like to do that every once in a while.
- 1:10SPEAKER_06: Just recharge the batteries.
- 1:12SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:12SPEAKER_04: And uh it was a good weekend, uh good week to take off because um we've talked about it before, but uh let me just catch you up to speed.
- 1:19SPEAKER_04: I took a trip out, uh a marathon trip out to uh West Virginia.
- 1:23SPEAKER_04: You're really good shape.
- 1:24SPEAKER_04: Uh thanks.
- 1:25SPEAKER_04: My daughter got a job out in uh Ohio and Steubenville.
- 1:31SPEAKER_04: Fans of that thing you do, the movie will get that.
- 1:34SPEAKER_05: I still love that.
- 1:35SPEAKER_04: Um so yeah, she's in Steubenville, Ohio, but she lives in she got an apartment in West Virginia, which is just across the border, like 10 minutes or something like that.
- 1:44SPEAKER_04: So she crosses the Ohio River every morning to go to work.
- 1:47SPEAKER_04: That must be fun.
- 1:48SPEAKER_04: So we we took the opportunity to drive her out there uh because she had a lot of stuff to to uh to carry in into the apartment and and start a new life out there, which is bittersweet.
- 2:00SPEAKER_04: You know, but she's happy, she's uh she had her first day of work.
- 2:03SPEAKER_04: We're we're recording this on Tuesday, by the way, not Monday.
- 2:06SPEAKER_04: Um, and so she had her first day of work today.
- 2:08SPEAKER_06: Oh, today.
- 2:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah, today and we we we heard from her and she's loving it.
- 2:12SPEAKER_04: It's all good.
- 2:13SPEAKER_04: Yeah, good.
- 2:14SPEAKER_04: It's all good.
- 2:14SPEAKER_04: But I gotta tell you about this trip because my daughter had taken um uh uh another trip with her then roommate out to West Virginia to look for an apartment, and they were successful.
- 2:27SPEAKER_04: Uh anyway, she had established that she when when she goes out again, she's uh she's avoiding Pittsburgh altogether.
- 2:33SPEAKER_04: Because uh if you don't know the area, uh Pittsburgh Well, the Steelers are there, so I don't know.
- 2:37SPEAKER_04: Well, that's true.
- 2:38SPEAKER_04: You have to avoid the Steelers.
- 2:39SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you never know when Ben Rothesburg is gonna show up.
- 2:42SPEAKER_06: You want to avoid that guy at all.
- 2:43SPEAKER_06: Exactly.
- 2:44SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean it's a mountainous area, and you have to go through tunnels, and which is like through the mountain, under you know, under the mountain in order and you do it like three times.
- 2:52SPEAKER_04: Anyway, she said she said she wanted to avoid it when she went out again.
- 2:55SPEAKER_04: So we're like, okay, and we figured she'd kind of mapped this whole thing out.
- 2:58SPEAKER_04: We're just gonna follow her lead.
- 3:00SPEAKER_04: She led a lot of the way, and and it it shouldn't take that long to get out to Ohio.
- 3:09SPEAKER_04: She her route took us up to the northern part of Pennsylvania, uh by Erie, Pennsylvania, and then we went down to St.
- 3:19SPEAKER_06: So basically, you went through all of Pennsylvania.
- 3:21SPEAKER_04: We added about four or five hours to the trip, yeah.
- 3:23SPEAKER_04: Because which was unnecessary.
- 3:25SPEAKER_04: Anyway, um, so when my wife and I left, so what we did is we went out there, uh, we did we took all day Friday to get there.
- 3:32SPEAKER_04: My son drove down from Kalamazoo, Michigan, actually, to help unload, which is great.
- 3:36SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 3:37SPEAKER_04: Um, and we kind of we we stayed in a hotel actually because she dropped the I don't know, I've probably given stuff away that I shouldn't give away, but the water wasn't going to be turned on until the following week in her apartment.
- 3:49SPEAKER_04: Oh so we had to stay in a hotel uh Friday night, and we got up Saturday, we unloaded uh her uh stuff into the apartment, and then she had a storage facility, and so we got the stuff out of storage and and unloaded that, and um we left about we visited, we had lunch and everything, and then we visited for a while, and then we left about 2 30 or so, 2 or 2 30, and we decided we're gonna drive as far as we can.
- 4:17SPEAKER_04: Uh so we ended up driving uh to to Danbury, Connecticut, and here's why um around Scranton, Pennsylvania.
- 4:31SPEAKER_04: Did you stop at Duff Dunc Dunger Mrifflin?
- 4:33SPEAKER_04: No, no, no.
- 4:34SPEAKER_04: Because no.
- 4:34SPEAKER_04: I wanted to, but you know, we were on a on a schedule.
- 4:37SPEAKER_04: Because I wanted to get back to take the kids trick-or-treating.
- 4:39SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 4:39SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 4:40SPEAKER_04: So we around Scranton, Pennsylvania, we realized You didn't forget one of the kids, did you?
- 4:49SPEAKER_04: No.
- 4:49SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 4:50SPEAKER_04: We forgot our suitcase in Jude's car, my son's car, which was going to Michigan the next day.
- 4:59SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 5:00SPEAKER_04: So we we realized this, and so we're trying, we're we're scrambling.
- 5:05SPEAKER_04: We're like, okay, where's a Walmart?
- 5:06SPEAKER_04: And this is there's a Walmart in Danbury, Connecticut.
- 5:10SPEAKER_04: They all close at 11 o'clock.
- 5:11SPEAKER_04: So we we'll be in Danbury, Connecticut by like 10 15, 10 30, something like that.
- 5:16SPEAKER_04: So we stopped at a Walmart in Danbury.
- 5:18SPEAKER_04: We got underwear, deodorant, a new shirt.
- 5:23SPEAKER_04: Because we had nothing.
- 5:24SPEAKER_04: We had no luggage.
- 5:26SPEAKER_04: My wife, you know, brought this bought essentials and a pair of jeans and you know, and all this stuff, and and so we got bought a toothbrush.
- 5:35SPEAKER_04: That's essential, yeah.
- 5:37SPEAKER_04: And then we luckily we we were able to book a hotel right there in Danbury, Connecticut.
- 5:42SPEAKER_04: And the reason I tell you is this is because we got up uh about six o'clock or so, six thirty the next morning.
- 5:49SPEAKER_04: We were here in Prescott at 4 30.
- 5:52SPEAKER_04: So it took about four or five hours less uh by going through Pittsburgh and going straight across than going up to Erie and over well, you know, simple, you know, you know, land navigation, you know, this the shortest route between two points is a straight line.
- 6:06SPEAKER_04: Right, and that's another thing that I was thinking about.
- 6:08SPEAKER_04: Those Garmin GPS systems, are those like obsolete now?
- 6:14SPEAKER_06: Probably because I don't know if they've ever been updated since the early 2000s.
- 6:19SPEAKER_04: You got the the Google Maps, yeah.
- 6:20SPEAKER_06: You got Google Maps, you got, you know, yeah.
- 6:22SPEAKER_04: I mean, why do you need to spend sixty bucks on a Garmin or something like that?
- 6:25SPEAKER_06: No, you just use your phone.
- 6:26SPEAKER_06: Usually I mean, that's you know, it's the it's the way of the world now.
- 6:29SPEAKER_04: And so the theme of this weekend uh was older and dumber.
- 6:37SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 6:38SPEAKER_06: Because obviously you're the dumber part.
- 6:40SPEAKER_06: Well and the older part.
- 6:41SPEAKER_04: Well, well, here's the thing is we would go out there and I'll give you an example.
- 6:48SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 6:49SPEAKER_04: So we go through uh the drive-thru at a Dunkin' Donuts.
- 6:53SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 6:53SPEAKER_04: And we're first, and and my daughter and and her brother are behind us.
- 6:59SPEAKER_04: And so my wife says, Oh, you probably should pay for theirs too.
- 7:02SPEAKER_04: So just tell them that you're gonna pay for the car behind you.
- 7:06SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 7:07SPEAKER_04: So I so she says, I have cash.
- 7:09SPEAKER_04: So she gives me cash.
- 7:11SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, Oh wait.
- 7:14SPEAKER_04: They're not gonna know, they're not gonna know if I say we're paying for them, but but they don't know what they what they ordered yet.
- 7:21SPEAKER_04: So if I give them$40, how are they gonna know how they're gonna know what we ordered, but they're not gonna know what they ordered, right?
- 7:30SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 7:31SPEAKER_04: And my wife looks at me and she says, Y Yes, they will, because when you when you go to pay, they will have already ordered.
- 7:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 7:41SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, oh yeah.
- 7:45SPEAKER_04: You just had road brain.
- 7:46SPEAKER_04: Well, I'm telling you, but that's not that's just not an isolated incident.
- 7:50SPEAKER_04: I mean, it it was happening over and over, and so we just I just my wife kept saying it older and dumber.
- 7:56SPEAKER_06: Even when we got home.
- 7:57SPEAKER_06: Okay, I okay.
- 7:58SPEAKER_06: I was just kidding about before about you being both of them, but you literally were.
- 8:02SPEAKER_04: Every time something happens, it's a new catchphrase for my wife.
- 8:05SPEAKER_04: When I make when I say something stupid or when I do something stupid, she'll just look at me go older and dumber.
- 8:09SPEAKER_04: Wow.
- 8:10SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 8:11SPEAKER_04: And then halfway home, I was like, older and dumber, huh?
- 8:14SPEAKER_04: Wait.
- 8:15SPEAKER_04: O and D.
- 8:18SPEAKER_06: O'Brien and Doug.
- 8:20SPEAKER_06: We are older and dumber.
- 8:21SPEAKER_06: We are, man.
- 8:23SPEAKER_06: I agree with that 150,000 percent.
- 8:26SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 8:27SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 8:28SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 8:29SPEAKER_04: So uh what'd you do while I was gone?
- 8:32SPEAKER_06: I went to work.
- 8:33SPEAKER_06: Yeah, that's pretty much it.
- 8:34SPEAKER_06: That was it.
- 8:35SPEAKER_06: That's my life.
- 8:36SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 8:36SPEAKER_06: Woo-hoo.
- 8:37SPEAKER_04: Well, I wasn't able to listen to I I don't think they broadcast it anywhere, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was supposedly really, really cool because uh Foo Fighters played with Paul McCartney.
- 8:49SPEAKER_06: Well, he inducted them.
- 8:50SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but I mean they played together.
- 8:51SPEAKER_04: They played Get Get Back, I think.
- 8:53SPEAKER_06: Yeah, get back, I think.
- 8:54SPEAKER_04: Um they're gonna show the footage of that.
- 8:56SPEAKER_04: You know, I don't really care about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but when something like that is happens, well, it's it's the performances you really care about.
- 9:04SPEAKER_06: I mean, if you know Okay, you got inducted, okay.
- 9:07SPEAKER_06: But we want to see what you can do.
- 9:09SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 9:09SPEAKER_06: You know, why are you being inducted?
- 9:11SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 9:11SPEAKER_06: Not that the Foo Fighters said or you know, or McCartney have to prove themselves because they already have.
- 9:16SPEAKER_06: But it's still cool to see them together.
- 9:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah, them s them teaming up is is is pretty cool.
- 9:21SPEAKER_04: Um and the other thing that uh so uh who went in?
- 9:24SPEAKER_04: The Gogo's went in.

- 9:28SPEAKER_04: Boat time.
- 9:29SPEAKER_04: Uh yep.

- 9:32SPEAKER_04: Jay-Z might, yeah, Jay-Z went in.
- 9:34SPEAKER_04: Um I don't have the list in front of me, but it it was a rock and roll Hall of Fame induction that I would have wanted to see.
- 9:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 9:40SPEAKER_04: And I I probably will at some point.
- 9:42SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I'm sure it'll show up on YouTube at some point.
- 9:44SPEAKER_06: I'm sure.
- 9:45unknown: Yep.
- 9:45SPEAKER_04: So what do we have planned for season five?
- 9:48SPEAKER_04: Well, we're gonna I think I think one of our goals We should take a road trip and record on the road.
- 9:54SPEAKER_04: Broadcast from somewhere else?
- 9:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 9:57SPEAKER_04: You just pulled that up out of your talking about, you know, traveling through Pittsburgh.

- 12:23SPEAKER_06: I wouldn't mind talking to John Hyatt.
- 12:24SPEAKER_06: Why not?
- 12:25SPEAKER_06: If we're shooting for the Red Rocker and Dave Grohl, let's shoot for John Mayer.
- 12:29SPEAKER_06: Exactly.
- 12:29SPEAKER_06: John Almost and John Mayer.
- 12:31SPEAKER_06: Well, John Mayer, too.
- 12:32SPEAKER_06: I wouldn't mind talking to John Mayer.

- 12:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 12:37SPEAKER_04: So uh I I wanna can I do a shameless plug for yourself?
- 12:43SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 12:44SPEAKER_06: Go for it.
- 12:44SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 12:46SPEAKER_04: So we've been playing um That was awesome.
- 12:49SPEAKER_06: Okay, so going to the Wall of Tunes.
- 12:54SPEAKER_06: I walked right into that one.
- 12:56SPEAKER_06: Yes, you did.
- 12:56SPEAKER_06: Um you should have known that was coming.
- 12:58SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 12:58SPEAKER_04: We've been playing a lot of the songs, um Comic Crossing songs on the podcast, and some uh some other songs to Blake Street Boy songs and whatever.
- 13:06SPEAKER_04: But everybody knows that I've been writing songs for a long time.
- 13:08SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 13:09SPEAKER_04: And so I've uh I took the plunge, sort of, on a song uh of mine, which is relatively recent, I think it was a few years old, and I I had it professionally recorded.
- 13:22SPEAKER_04: Yes, and I am I don't like to pigeonhole myself, so I'm not a country songwriter.
- 13:32SPEAKER_04: But the way this was recorded is very country, and so that's the way I'm promoting it.
- 13:37SPEAKER_04: I'm kind of I resisted Spotify for a long time.
- 13:42SPEAKER_04: I still don't like Spotify because of the way it treats the artists.
- 13:46SPEAKER_04: And I and other streaming services too.
- 13:48SPEAKER_04: I I I I I I'm not a fan, but that's that's the reality in this day and age.
- 13:56SPEAKER_04: So I bit the bullet and this is well tomorrow, because this this episode is airing on Thursday, so Friday, November 5th, that song, it's called Raise Your Voice, goes um live to all streaming platforms Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, I mean all of them.
- 14:16SPEAKER_04: And it will be promoted uh on social media as well.
- 14:21SPEAKER_04: So I I don't really know how Spotify works.
- 14:24SPEAKER_04: I know that I think you're supposed to add me to a playlist or something, um or just stream the damn song.
- 14:34SPEAKER_04: You know, because I mean if if I get a number the only way that that I can make this work is if I get a lot of streams.
- 14:41SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 14:42SPEAKER_04: So the song is called Raise Your Voice.
- 14:45SPEAKER_04: It is under my name, Brian Mosier.
- 14:48SPEAKER_04: Um it's a pretty cool song.
- 14:50SPEAKER_04: Um it's very country.
- 14:52SPEAKER_04: Uh this all the the other songs that I release in the future probably won't be as country, or maybe they will.
- 14:58SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 14:58SPEAKER_04: I don't want to like I said, I don't want to picture myself as a country artist, but I do like country.
- 15:03SPEAKER_04: Um so if you do me a solid uh and try and find it uh beginning Friday, November 5th, and spread the word.
- 15:13SPEAKER_04: And uh yeah.
- 15:15SPEAKER_04: There you go.
- 15:15SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna play the song uh because Well, you don't want to ruin it.
- 15:19SPEAKER_04: Right, exactly.
- 15:20SPEAKER_06: That's one less scream on Spotify.
- 15:22SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 15:22SPEAKER_04: I want you to be surprised.
- 15:23SPEAKER_04: Well, you can actually you can download it or uh buy it actually on my website, BrianMosiermusic.com.
- 15:29SPEAKER_04: So it's it's available for digital download.
- 15:32SPEAKER_04: Two bucks.
- 15:32SPEAKER_04: Two bucks.
- 15:33SPEAKER_04: 199, I think, is that two dollars.
- 15:36SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
- 15:37SPEAKER_04: So uh but the song is is called Raise Your Voice.
- 15:40SPEAKER_04: Uh look for it on all streaming platforms starting on Friday.
- 15:45SPEAKER_04: And hopefully there will be more that where that came from.
- 15:48SPEAKER_04: And if I can get this whole mechanism working, possibly some common crossing stuff we get recorded.
- 15:56SPEAKER_04: We'll release that as well.
- 15:58SPEAKER_04: Um I don't know.
- 16:00SPEAKER_04: I'm just kind of testing the waters and seeing how sure how that works out.

- 16:17SPEAKER_06: She uh she texted me uh a couple weeks ago.
- 16:20SPEAKER_06: She was like uh she said something about Randy Bachman.
- 16:25SPEAKER_04: I love Randy Bachman.
- 16:26SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, and I knew you did.
- 16:27SPEAKER_06: So she sent me this article from NPR about how Randy Bachman got his stolen guitar back.
- 16:34SPEAKER_04: I saw this article, but you said you didn't get to read it.
- 16:37SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 16:38SPEAKER_06: It's it's pretty fascinating.
- 16:39SPEAKER_06: It's it's a Gretsch guitar, I think it's a 1957.
- 16:42SPEAKER_06: Uh he wrote most of his big hits from the Guess Who and BTO on this guitar.
- 16:48SPEAKER_06: And it got stolen from a hotel room.
- 16:50SPEAKER_06: Yeah, he loved this guitar so much that he used to, when he when he wasn't with it, he would chain it to the hotel toilet wherever he was staying.
- 16:58SPEAKER_06: Okay, this is how much he loved this guitar.
- 17:01SPEAKER_06: He bought it with his money when he was a teenager, and that's what you know he wrote his biggest song.
- 17:06SPEAKER_06: So in 1976, somebody stole it.
- 17:09SPEAKER_06: Okay?
- 17:10SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 17:10SPEAKER_06: So this guy, uh, what was his name?
- 17:13SPEAKER_06: William Long.
- 17:15SPEAKER_06: He heard about it, so he went on this mission to track it down.
- 17:19SPEAKER_06: And guess what?
- 17:20SPEAKER_06: He did, he found it in Japan.
- 17:22SPEAKER_04: So he compared serial numbers and all that.
- 17:24SPEAKER_06: No, it was just like looking at it and you know, just finding, you know, different things about it.
- 17:28SPEAKER_06: He found it.
- 17:29SPEAKER_06: A guy in Japan bought it, a musician named Takashi or something like that.
- 17:33SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 17:34SPEAKER_06: Found it, and so he let him know.
- 17:36SPEAKER_06: So Randy Bachman, I think, reached out to this guy.
- 17:40SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 17:40SPEAKER_06: So when everything, when they can meet, you know, when you know, COVID restrictions and everything like that, right?
- 17:46SPEAKER_06: They're gonna do a guitar swap.
- 17:48SPEAKER_06: This guy's gonna give him back his guitar, and Randy Bachman's gonna give one give him one of his in return.
- 17:55SPEAKER_03: That is so cool.
- 17:56SPEAKER_06: Yeah, so I thought that was really cool.
- 17:58SPEAKER_06: So she wanted me to the you know, she sent me that article and I said I would share it on the podcast.
- 18:02SPEAKER_04: That's very cool.
- 18:03SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so thank you, lovely Hadley.
- 18:05SPEAKER_04: Thank you, Hadley.
- 18:06SPEAKER_04: Um, yeah, Randy Bachman, actually, Randy Bachman is one of the reasons I'm doing this podcast.
- 18:15SPEAKER_04: Because he had a radio show where he did this.
- 18:22SPEAKER_04: I just sat around, but he played he played a lot of music.
- 18:25SPEAKER_04: Oh, I'm sure yeah.
- 18:26SPEAKER_04: But it was um something vinyl.
- 18:30SPEAKER_04: I can't remember what it was, but it was a Canadian radio uh show where Randy Bachman just told awesome stories from his history.
- 18:39SPEAKER_04: I mean, he was what in the Guess Who?
- 18:40SPEAKER_04: Guess Who, BTO, BTO, and he's got a solo career as well.
- 18:44SPEAKER_04: Um and he plays he he he'll he'll play music and then he'll tell a story about the song that he just played.
- 18:53SPEAKER_04: Uh it was really, really cool.
- 18:55SPEAKER_04: And I've always wanted to do not that I would have the same uh pedigree as Randy Bachman, but you know, just to talk about music.
- 19:04SPEAKER_04: Sure.
- 19:05SPEAKER_04: So that's you know one of the reasons I I wanted to do this podcast.
- 19:08SPEAKER_04: Here we are.
- 19:08SPEAKER_04: And here we are.
- 19:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and Randy Bachman, great Canadian rocker.

- 19:28SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 19:28SPEAKER_04: Um anyway, go let's start because I'll talk about some other Jeff Healy stuff.
- 19:33SPEAKER_06: Uh number one, matchless technique.
- 19:35SPEAKER_06: Uh this is I didn't know.
- 19:36SPEAKER_06: He uh when he was one year old, he developed eye cancer.
- 19:40SPEAKER_06: That's why he lost his uh that's why they had to remove both of his eyes.
- 19:44SPEAKER_06: Yep, I did know.
- 19:44SPEAKER_06: So that's why he's both I did not know.

- 19:49SPEAKER_04: Uh I can't remember.
- 19:50SPEAKER_04: It was cancer.
- 19:51SPEAKER_04: But you know where it was?
- 19:52SPEAKER_04: No.
- 19:52SPEAKER_04: In his thigh.
- 19:54SPEAKER_06: Really?
- 19:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 19:55SPEAKER_04: Weird.
- 19:56SPEAKER_04: It was weird.
- 19:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 19:58SPEAKER_04: So it resurfaced, but it resurfaced in his thigh, which is weird.
- 20:01SPEAKER_06: So he had uh so it says at age three he was given a guitar and shown how to place his hands on it, but he Jeff preferred to play it in his lap, which you know we know him as, and uh with both hands over the fretboard, and then he c you know, and that's how he developed his technique.
- 20:16SPEAKER_06: Um, he's a music fanatic, or was a few music fanatic.
- 20:20SPEAKER_06: Um his early passions were old time jazz.
- 20:23SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 20:24SPEAKER_06: And he I didn't know this.
- 20:25SPEAKER_06: He was proficient on trumpet and clarinet.
- 20:28SPEAKER_04: I have uh he put out albums and and he had a jazz club.
- 20:32SPEAKER_04: Have you ever seen um uh well he had a uh a nightclub in Canada called Jeff Healy's Hideaway or something like that.
- 20:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah I heard about that.
- 20:41SPEAKER_04: It was a jazz club, yeah.
- 20:42SPEAKER_04: And and he played trumpet and he's really, really good at jazz trumpet.
- 20:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 20:47SPEAKER_06: And uh he hosted his own uh he had a uh radio show, My Kind of Jazz, in Toronto.
- 20:55SPEAKER_04: I did not know that.
- 20:56SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and apparently he had 30,000 jazz records.
- 21:00SPEAKER_04: That does not surprise me at all.
- 21:02SPEAKER_06: So that I think that's pretty impressive impressive.
- 21:04SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 21:05SPEAKER_06: And then when he was 17, he formed the Jeff Healy band.
- 21:08SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 21:08SPEAKER_06: And uh he was found by Stevie Ray Vaughn and Albert Collins.
- 21:15SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that actually.
- 21:16SPEAKER_06: In 1988, they signed uh Arista.
- 21:20SPEAKER_04: Yep, Arista Records.
- 21:21SPEAKER_06: Arista Records, yeah.
- 21:22SPEAKER_06: See the Light.
- 21:23SPEAKER_06: I didn't know that was their debut.
- 21:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah, with which had a John Hyatt song on it.
- 21:26SPEAKER_06: Angel Eyes.
- 21:27SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and there's another one.
- 21:29SPEAKER_04: Oh, there is Confidence Man is a John Hyatt.
- 21:31SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that was John Hyatt's song.
- 21:32SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 21:33SPEAKER_04: Cool.
- 21:33SPEAKER_04: I almost think he had uh no, because I've got a couple of them's uh that don't have a John Hyatt song on it.
- 21:41SPEAKER_04: But he's got the the album that came after See the Light, which was called Hell to Pay, that also had a John Hyatt song on it that I've never heard anybody else do.
- 21:49SPEAKER_04: Let Let It All Go.
- 21:50SPEAKER_06: Have you ever heard that song?
- 21:51SPEAKER_06: Uh maybe I don't really know.
- 21:53SPEAKER_06: I have to play it for you.
- 21:54SPEAKER_06: It's really good.
- 21:54SPEAKER_04: Anyway.
- 21:55SPEAKER_06: Um so that was the uh number four is Roadhouse.
- 21:59SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 22:00SPEAKER_06: So he was in the movie Roadhouse.
- 22:02SPEAKER_06: His his band was the uh house band.
- 22:03SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 22:04SPEAKER_04: So that's where a lot of people learned of him actually.
- 22:06SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 22:07SPEAKER_06: I I think that's where I learned of him.
- 22:08SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 22:08SPEAKER_06: So uh apparently uh Mark Knoffler, Jeff Lynn, and George Harrison all played uh played on that record.
- 22:15SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 22:15SPEAKER_06: Which is I think is pretty cool.
- 22:16SPEAKER_04: Well they played on Hell to Pay.
- 22:17SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 22:18SPEAKER_04: Um they did he because Jeff Healy did a Mark Knoffler song, which was um I think I love you too much, which is amazing.
- 22:26SPEAKER_04: They put they played together on it.
- 22:28SPEAKER_04: But uh if you've ever I mean I know you have, but if you never watch Jeff Healy play guitar, it is a sight to see.
- 22:35SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 22:35SPEAKER_04: It's because of the way he plays.
- 22:38SPEAKER_04: Uh I mean he remember that cover to cover album?
- 22:41SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 22:43SPEAKER_04: Which is a basically uh uh uh cover songs.
- 22:46SPEAKER_04: The Jeff Healy band put out an album of cover songs called Cover to Cover, and he did a Jimi Hendrix song.
- 22:51SPEAKER_04: He did a lot of old blues songs, he did The Beatles, uh Your Blues, um Let's a Led Zeppelin tune.
- 23:00SPEAKER_04: You would never know this guy was playing the guitar in his lap.
- 23:03SPEAKER_06: Yeah, no, I mean when you listen to the records, you have no idea because it just sounds like you know, but he has a distinct sound.
- 23:09SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's it's amazing.
- 23:12SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
- 23:14SPEAKER_06: Um then number five is he's a multi-instrumentalist, of course, like we were just talking about.
- 23:19SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 23:20SPEAKER_06: Uh apparently he released three albums of just traditional jazz of him on the trumpet.
- 23:26SPEAKER_06: And with his band, Jeff Healy's Jazz Wizards.
- 23:29SPEAKER_06: And he opened his own club.
- 23:31SPEAKER_06: Yep, the Hidey's Healy's Hideaway.

- 23:56SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 23:56SPEAKER_06: So and then he passed away, unfortunately.
- 23:59SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 23:59SPEAKER_06: So but yeah, there's five reasons why Jeff Healy is a guitar legend, which, you know, you don't have to tell us.
- 24:05SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 24:06SPEAKER_06: We already know.
- 24:07SPEAKER_04: The name is Dalton.
- 24:10SPEAKER_04: That's from Roadhouse.

- 30:15SPEAKER_06: Something.
- 30:16SPEAKER_06: Yeah, something to it.
- 30:17SPEAKER_04: Made me so that made me put your name on it.

- 30:39SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah.
- 30:41SPEAKER_04: So um uh that so that song, Why I've Stayed So Long, yeah.
- 30:45SPEAKER_04: So um that was uh on an acoustic demo album uh from 2003.
- 30:52SPEAKER_04: Did I say 2003?
- 30:53SPEAKER_04: 2003.
- 30:54SPEAKER_06: You said 2002.
- 30:55SPEAKER_04: And you you just you just uh wire.
- 30:58SPEAKER_04: You said that it sounded very like very John Hyatt.
- 31:01SPEAKER_06: And I didn't Yeah, it sound it sounds like Cry Love.
- 31:04SPEAKER_04: I thought it sounded like something off Crossing Muddy Waters.
- 31:07SPEAKER_06: Well it could be either one.
- 31:08SPEAKER_06: I mean they're both uh kind of the same.
- 31:09SPEAKER_06: But when did they when did he come out with Crossing Muddy Waters?
- 31:12SPEAKER_04: That was the early 2000s.
- 31:14SPEAKER_04: But it was I I'm curious as to when uh I wonder if I was inspired by that or if I did it before he did.
- 31:23SPEAKER_04: I must have been inspired by it.
- 31:25SPEAKER_04: I betcha I betcha he did that first.
- 31:28SPEAKER_04: You're looking it up.
- 31:29SPEAKER_04: Okay, good.
- 31:30SPEAKER_04: I betcha I bet you Crossing Muddy Waters came out like 2000.
- 31:35SPEAKER_04: I betcha it did, because that doesn't sound like that sounds like something I was inspired by and decided to do my own version or something like that.
- 31:44SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna say it was 2000 that Crossing Muddy Waters came out.
- 31:47SPEAKER_04: And if that's the case.
- 31:48SPEAKER_06: 2000.
- 31:49SPEAKER_06: September 26, 2000.
- 31:51SPEAKER_04: If that's the case, Crossing Muddy Waters is 21 years old.
- 31:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 31:56SPEAKER_04: That's crazy, right?
- 31:58SPEAKER_06: But it has a timeless feel to it, so it doesn't really feel like it.
- 32:01SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 32:02SPEAKER_06: You know what I mean?
- 32:02SPEAKER_04: That's true.
- 32:03SPEAKER_06: That's true.
- 32:05SPEAKER_04: Anyway, uh, so that's the Quamen Crossing song of the day.
- 32:09SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 32:10SPEAKER_04: Uh why I've stayed so long.

- 36:48SPEAKER_06: It's a band.
- 36:49SPEAKER_06: What genre?
- 36:50SPEAKER_04: Rock.
- 36:51SPEAKER_04: Rock band.
- 36:53SPEAKER_06: Uh height of popularity.
- 36:56SPEAKER_04: Late 80s, early 90s.
- 36:58SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 36:59SPEAKER_06: Uh like a like hair metal.
- 37:02SPEAKER_06: Or just hard rock, heavy rock.
- 37:04SPEAKER_04: Um I don't really consider them hair metal.
- 37:09SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 37:10SPEAKER_04: But they're played on hairband stations.
- 37:12SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 37:13SPEAKER_06: So they're kind of around that out.
- 37:16SPEAKER_06: Um.
- 37:17SPEAKER_06: Any like prodigies in the band?
- 37:20SPEAKER_04: Uh nope, no prodigies prodigies.
- 37:22SPEAKER_06: No prodigies.
- 37:24SPEAKER_06: Um kind of sparse with the hints there.
- 37:29SPEAKER_04: Um their name is very popular today.
- 37:35SPEAKER_04: Their name is Oh.
- 37:37SPEAKER_06: Oh! It's Anthrax.
- 37:39SPEAKER_06: Nope.
- 37:44SPEAKER_06: I knew it.

- 37:47unknown: Oh.
- 37:47SPEAKER_06: Anthrax?
- 37:48SPEAKER_06: Anthrax.
- 37:48SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I know.
- 37:49SPEAKER_06: I just thought it was funny.
- 37:50SPEAKER_06: Because there's no band called COVID yet.
- 37:53SPEAKER_06: Yet.
- 37:54SPEAKER_06: Somebody will.
- 37:56SPEAKER_06: Uh why is so the name is popular right now?
- 38:00SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 38:00SPEAKER_06: For what reason?
- 38:02SPEAKER_06: Is the band popular with it?
- 38:04SPEAKER_04: There's a brand that has the same name as the band.
- 38:08SPEAKER_06: Oh, Draeno.
- 38:11unknown: No.
- 38:12SPEAKER_04: No?
- 38:12SPEAKER_04: I've never heard the band Draeno.
- 38:14SPEAKER_06: I haven't either.
- 38:14SPEAKER_06: We should start one.
- 38:15SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 38:16SPEAKER_06: Let's start a band called Draeno.
- 38:21SPEAKER_06: Metal down the flush.
- 38:23SPEAKER_04: Let's see.
- 38:24SPEAKER_04: They are.
- 38:27SPEAKER_04: There's five members.
- 38:28SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 38:33SPEAKER_06: Two guitar.
- 38:34SPEAKER_06: Bon Jovi has five members.
- 38:36SPEAKER_06: Two guitar.
- 38:36SPEAKER_06: But I'm sure it's not Bon Jovi.
- 38:38SPEAKER_06: Drums.
- 38:38SPEAKER_04: Lead singer.
- 38:39SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 38:41SPEAKER_06: Oh, is it Tesla?
- 38:42SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 38:44SPEAKER_06: I just had to think of that.
- 38:47SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 38:49SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 38:50SPEAKER_06: I love Tesla, man.
- 38:51SPEAKER_03: I I do.
- 38:52SPEAKER_06: I heard love I heard love song on the uh radio the other day.
- 38:57SPEAKER_06: I was very excited.
- 38:59SPEAKER_04: So this is this is what the album that I picked was Times Making Changes, the best of Tesla.
- 39:11SPEAKER_04: Oh no, in my collection.
- 39:13SPEAKER_04: But I also have the album that this song comes off of in my collection.
- 39:38SPEAKER_04: So I'll be honest and say that it was this album, Great Radio Controversy, that got me into Tesla.
- 39:48SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think uh I think that was the same album that got me into them.
- 39:50SPEAKER_04: You know, and then I went back and you know they had uh Mechanical Resonance.
- 39:54SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and which they're just they're gonna re-release that, aren't they?
- 39:57SPEAKER_06: I think so.
- 39:58SPEAKER_06: Mechanical resonance.
- 39:58SPEAKER_06: I heard that, yeah.
- 39:59SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 39:59SPEAKER_04: Uh but that had Modern Day Cowboy on it, right?
- 40:01SPEAKER_06: Uh I think so, yeah.
- 40:02SPEAKER_04: Um and Getting Better and Little Susie.
- 40:05SPEAKER_04: Uh but that great radio controversy album was so well produced, and the songs on it were so well crafted.
- 40:17SPEAKER_04: And it was just Yeah, all the songs were great on it.
- 40:19SPEAKER_04: Balls Out Rock and Roll.
- 40:20SPEAKER_04: I mean, it was it was um let's see, Heaven's Trail No Way Out was on there, which we just played.
- 40:25SPEAKER_04: Uh The Way It Is.
- 40:27SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 40:27SPEAKER_04: Uh The Way That It Goes Working and The Stranges Love Song was on that album.
- 40:33SPEAKER_04: Hang Tough was on that album.
- 40:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah, great song.
- 40:35SPEAKER_04: Um there but there there was like some some album cuts, you know, songs that weren't released.
- 40:40SPEAKER_04: Well, uh Paradise was on there.
- 40:42SPEAKER_04: Um but there's some other album cuts that when I hear them I think of that era, you know, we talked about the how music is nostalgic.
- 40:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but I but I am transported back to that era.
- 40:56SPEAKER_04: Um when I was in high school, I guess, or just just almost out of high school.
- 41:02SPEAKER_04: No, I think it was I was in high school when Great Radio Controversy came out, right?
- 41:05SPEAKER_04: Was that ninety one?
- 41:07SPEAKER_06: I don't remember.
- 41:08SPEAKER_06: Um I was in the Marines, so I so it had to be between ninety and ninety four.
- 41:12SPEAKER_06: But so like the songs like Makin' Magic, Makin' Magic, Making Magic, and uh uh Flight to Nowhere.
- 41:20SPEAKER_05: Going down, I'm on a flight to nowhere.
- 41:22SPEAKER_04: All those those uh album cuts.
- 41:25SPEAKER_04: Um I know what it takes to be a man.
- 41:30SPEAKER_04: That's all from uh great radio controversy, but they've they've Bust a Nut was another album they put out.
- 41:35SPEAKER_04: Um and they're still going.
- 41:37SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 41:37SPEAKER_04: And it's still going strong.
- 41:38SPEAKER_04: They had a couple of uh I'm not gonna say flops, but they've been trying to trying to stay current.
- 41:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 41:44SPEAKER_04: And and some of it sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
- 41:48SPEAKER_04: But you know, that's that's like any band that has a legion of fans.
- 41:52SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 41:52SPEAKER_04: They're always gonna be like, uh, it doesn't sound like your old stuff.
- 41:55SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 41:55SPEAKER_04: You know, we we like the old stuff.
- 41:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 41:57SPEAKER_04: Um they're very tied to Def Leopard.
- 41:59SPEAKER_04: Uh Tesla is because they toured with them uh extensively for a while.
- 42:03SPEAKER_06: Well, they did that song in memory of uh Song and Emotion.
- 42:06SPEAKER_06: Song and Emotional.
- 42:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah, in memory of Steve Clark.
- 42:08SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 42:09SPEAKER_04: Um Rest in Peace.
- 42:10SPEAKER_04: Uh I've always loved Tesla.
- 42:13SPEAKER_04: I think Jeff Keith, the lead singer, uh number one, doesn't have his own teeth because I've never seen whiter teeth on anyone than Jeff Keith.
- 42:25SPEAKER_06: Maybe he was ahead of his time, you know, when uh before teeth whitening came out.
- 42:31SPEAKER_04: If you've if you've heard Jeff Jeff Keith uh has one of those voices Well, he has one of those cigarette and whiskey voices.
- 42:38SPEAKER_04: Right, which leads me to believe he is n doesn't have his own teeth.
- 42:42SPEAKER_04: Either that or he just it's a really good dye job.
- 42:44SPEAKER_04: Easy because they are the whitest teeth I've ever seen on a white bag.
- 42:48SPEAKER_06: You know, he's a easy, easy he's a proponent of dental hygiene.
- 42:52SPEAKER_04: Uh maybe.
- 42:53SPEAKER_04: You know maybe.
- 42:54SPEAKER_04: You know, I'm not faulting him.
- 42:55SPEAKER_04: I'm you know I think it's that's an inter that's an interesting observation.
- 42:58SPEAKER_04: That is an interesting observation.
- 43:00SPEAKER_06: Uh I like their music, but have you seen his teeth?
- 43:05SPEAKER_06: What a great band, but have you seen that guy's teeth?
- 43:09SPEAKER_06: Be realistic.
- 43:10SPEAKER_06: Have yellow teeth, spotted yellow teeth, like mine.
- 43:13SPEAKER_06: Well, I mean, you know, you should be like, I you go see them live.
- 43:16SPEAKER_06: I mean, your teeth rock!
- 43:20SPEAKER_04: You'd be like, that's weird.
- 43:21SPEAKER_04: Uh with this guy.
- 43:23SPEAKER_04: Oh, and so the other hint that I gave you was that there were five members of the band, and I was hoping that you would catch up, catch on the five-man acoustical jam.
- 43:31SPEAKER_04: Which sent them over the top, actually, because uh great radio controversy was amazing, but then they did a version of the five-man electrical bands signs, yeah, which was all over the radio.
- 43:42SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 43:43SPEAKER_04: And of course, Love Song.
- 43:46SPEAKER_04: Um, should I play?
- 43:48SPEAKER_04: I should play a little bit of Love Song.
- 43:50SPEAKER_04: Um, because that I think probably would you say that Love Song is their signature song?
- 43:57SPEAKER_06: I would say so.
- 43:58SPEAKER_06: Uh which is on the whenever you.
- 44:00SPEAKER_06: Think of Tesla, everybody thinks of Love Songs.
- 44:02SPEAKER_06: Which is unfortunate.
- 44:03SPEAKER_06: Well, yeah, because they had so many other great one of my favorite Tesla songs is Edison's Medicine.
- 44:09SPEAKER_04: Do you want to play a bit of that?
- 44:10SPEAKER_06: Yeah, play that.
- 44:11SPEAKER_04: Okay, hold on.
- 44:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah, play.
- 44:12SPEAKER_04: Because um I love that Love Song's got uh that great uh Well it's got that great acoustical, you know, intro.
- 44:19SPEAKER_06: It's almost like a classical.
- 44:20SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it is.
- 44:21SPEAKER_06: Well, I mean it's a dueling classical guitar intro.
- 44:24SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 44:25SPEAKER_04: It's very pretty.
- 44:26SPEAKER_04: So so at your request, here's uh a little bit of um oh, there's a little on until Nikolai Tesla's invention of a workable AC electrical power system, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 44:41SPEAKER_04: Frank Hannon on that guitar, man.
- 45:25SPEAKER_05: Do bands still make music like this?
- 45:27SPEAKER_06: No.
- 45:29SPEAKER_06: Well, this this song speaks to me as a, you know, as a as a guy with a history degree.
- 45:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 45:35SPEAKER_06: And uh a guy that loves rock music because it's it's the whole thing between Edison and you know, Thomas Edison and Nikolai Tesla.
- 45:43SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know.
- 45:44SPEAKER_06: The whole controversy about, you know, who stole what from who.
- 45:48SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 45:53SPEAKER_03: I listen to that.
- 45:58SPEAKER_03: If the the the new rock bands don't do this stuff anymore.
- 46:03SPEAKER_03: I mean you know what I mean?
- 46:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 46:11SPEAKER_03: I love this stuff.
- 46:12SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 46:16SPEAKER_06: I agree songs.
- 46:17SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 46:18SPEAKER_06: It's on this.
- 46:19SPEAKER_06: I think it's on this.
- 46:20SPEAKER_06: It should be.
- 46:21SPEAKER_06: If it's not, it should be.
- 46:22SPEAKER_04: It is on this.
- 46:23SPEAKER_04: Okay, good.
- 46:24SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 46:24SPEAKER_04: It is.
- 46:26SPEAKER_04: Um, yeah, I just just the sound of the guitars, man.
- 46:36SPEAKER_04: I mean, it just Yeah, I mean, the guitars are thick.
- 46:39unknown: Yeah.
- 46:40SPEAKER_06: You know, I like that, man.
- 46:41SPEAKER_06: I like that sound.
- 46:42SPEAKER_04: Uh uh, I want to do.
- 46:43SPEAKER_04: Do you remember Flight to Nowhere?
- 46:45SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 46:46SPEAKER_04: I want to play a little bit of that because when that thing kicks in, that just brings back so many memories for me.
- 46:54SPEAKER_04: Sorry, that was a commercial.
- 46:55SPEAKER_06: I was about to say, well, I don't remember that part.
- 46:58SPEAKER_04: Um it's not one of their more well-known tracks from that album.
- 47:05SPEAKER_04: Flight to Nowhere obviously starts obviously starts with that.
- 47:08SPEAKER_04: But I just love the riff, the whole build-up.
- 47:10SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 47:18SPEAKER_04: Early Def Leopard.
- 47:33SPEAKER_04: Seriously, I've never thought about that before.
- 47:34SPEAKER_04: That sounds like a deaf level, it's not that you mentioned it.
- 48:04SPEAKER_04: Get into the uh just gets me going.
- 48:07SPEAKER_06: Uh I mean, all you young rockers out there, if you're do your homework.
- 48:11SPEAKER_04: Yeah, do your homework.
- 48:13SPEAKER_04: Tesla, man, and and uh how bummed do you think they are?
- 48:16SPEAKER_04: Do you think they're bummed that their name is being used for a car now?
- 48:19SPEAKER_04: Or do you think it's helping them?
- 48:20SPEAKER_04: Well, they stole it from a guy.
- 48:22SPEAKER_06: True.
- 48:22SPEAKER_06: So I mean, who cares?
- 48:24SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 48:25SPEAKER_04: But I mean, do you think it's hurting them or helping them?
- 48:28SPEAKER_06: I don't think it's doing anything for them, you know, other if you if you're not a fan of Tesla, then probably nobody nobody thinks twice about it.
- 48:37SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 48:37SPEAKER_06: You know what I mean?
- 48:38SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 48:39SPEAKER_04: But I mean if you Google Tesla, what comes up first Tesla's.
- 48:41SPEAKER_04: Well, it's gonna be Elon Musk's Tesla.
- 48:43SPEAKER_06: Yeah, right.
- 48:44SPEAKER_06: Exactly.
- 48:44SPEAKER_06: So it does the band will be you'll have to really search through the So it kind of hurts them.
- 48:49SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I suppose, but I mean I don't think they're hurting per se.
- 48:52SPEAKER_06: I mean, they're just doing what they're doing.
- 48:54SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 48:55SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 48:56SPEAKER_06: I mean, they were a long they they've been doing this a lot longer than Elon Musk.
- 49:00SPEAKER_04: I will tell you that uh I saw them live.
- 49:03SPEAKER_04: Um it was it was Tesla opening, Ario Speedwagon, and then Def Leppard.
- 49:11SPEAKER_04: Um great show.
- 49:13SPEAKER_04: Yeah, just all around, great show.
- 49:16SPEAKER_04: Ario Speedwagon surprised me.
- 49:18SPEAKER_04: I don't know why it surprised me, but they were rocked.
- 49:20SPEAKER_04: I mean they were really good.
- 49:21SPEAKER_04: Obviously, Def Leppard was amazing.
- 49:22SPEAKER_06: Well, I think everybody thinks Ario Speedwagon, they always think, oh can't fight feel this feeling.
- 49:27SPEAKER_04: Can't fight this feeling, yeah.
- 49:28SPEAKER_06: They're always thinking, eh, you know, it's like but they had so many other great songs.
- 49:31SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah.
- 49:31SPEAKER_04: And then and they were fantastic.
- 49:33SPEAKER_04: And then Def Leopard was amazing, as as you can imagine.
- 49:36SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 49:36SPEAKER_04: Uh Tesla was really tight, really good, and they were the opening band.
- 49:41SPEAKER_04: They were really loud.
- 49:43SPEAKER_04: I'm sure.
- 49:44SPEAKER_04: Like compared to the other bands, and I'm not sure why.
- 49:46SPEAKER_04: They were louder than the other bands.
- 49:49SPEAKER_04: Unless my ears just got used to it.
- 49:52SPEAKER_06: Well, that's probably it.
- 49:53SPEAKER_06: It was just the first you know, the first band is like, whoa, what's going on?

- 51:38SPEAKER_06: But uh Susudio.
- 51:39SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 51:39SPEAKER_06: That was just a nonsensical word he made up when he was writing the song.
- 51:43SPEAKER_06: But he decided to keep it.
- 51:45SPEAKER_06: It wasn't about anything about a sign.
- 51:47SPEAKER_06: You said it was about a snare screen.
- 51:48SPEAKER_06: Well, see, he had said that in an interview.
- 51:50SPEAKER_06: According to the book, that's just a nonsensical word he made up, just of, you know, as he was writing the song.
- 51:55SPEAKER_04: Okay, now I feel like an idiot.
- 51:56SPEAKER_06: Hold on, because now he might have changed, you know, he might have said something else in an interview.
- 52:04SPEAKER_06: Ooh, Phil Collins?
- 52:05SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 52:05SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean not really, but you know what I mean.

- 52:37SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 52:37SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it must have been uh well, maybe he said something like it was a nonsense word, but it reminded me of the sound of a snake.
- 52:45SPEAKER_06: Might have, yeah, but I didn't I didn't pick up on that, so I just thought it was interesting.
