15:08
SPEAKER_04: Sometimes in my tears I drown, but never let it get me down.
15:16
SPEAKER_04: Negativity surrounds me.
15:20
SPEAKER_04: I know someday I'll turn around me.
15:24

18:13
SPEAKER_04: Sometimes I lay to the moon and think I'm breathing.
18:22
SPEAKER_04: Then I pray don't take me soon, cause I am here for a reason.
18:43

18:49
SPEAKER_08: So I'm gonna just have to come over there and kiss you right on the lips.
18:52
SPEAKER_08: Right here, buddy.
18:53
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah.
18:55
SPEAKER_08: I yeah, that was fantastic, Ryan.
18:58
SPEAKER_01: I play I played at a coffee shop last night for a couple hours.
19:00
SPEAKER_01: This new encore coffee that just opened up.
19:02
SPEAKER_08: I'm booking gigs for them.
19:04
SPEAKER_08: I booked Gabe back here.
19:05
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
19:06
SPEAKER_01: Good.
19:06
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
19:06
SPEAKER_01: I just played there last night, so my voice is a little blown out.
19:09
SPEAKER_01: I apologize.
19:10
SPEAKER_05: Oh, man, man! That part where you were singing about the road ain't no place to raise a kid.
19:16
SPEAKER_05: I was heart-wrenching together.
19:24
SPEAKER_01: And every and more importantly, every wife or husband or someone who's in a relationship or a uh child of a musician understands that song.
19:33
SPEAKER_01: Because I feel like when uh I just point down his name, Steve Perry from the journey.
19:40
SPEAKER_01: I feel like when he wrote that song, it was a it was a love letter to his wife.
19:44
SPEAKER_01: Because being in love with the music man ain't always what it's supposed to be.
19:49
SPEAKER_01: Everybody thinks it's gonna be this glamorous thing, but really being a musician and being uh touring musician or just someone here who's hitting the streets or busking, like it's dirty work.
19:59
SPEAKER_01: It's tough.
20:00
SPEAKER_01: We have to get there hours before gigs, set everything out.
20:03
SPEAKER_01: I mean, for a hundred bucks, a three-hour game, a three-hour day where we're gonna make a hundred dollars sometimes takes us eight hours of our day.
20:11
SPEAKER_01: And I can't tell how many times I've missed New Year's parties, Mother's Days, because I'm playing out somewhere, so it's it's a tough being music.
20:19
SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna say it's a tough being musician, I absolutely love it, but sometimes I do feel bad for my wife and my kid and my family.
20:26
SPEAKER_01: Well, anyway, let's talk about Steve Perry somewhere.
20:29
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I I know I know that your wife is extremely supportive, and I know your wife is extremely supportive too, but I'm sure that you probably get it every once in a while when they like, where have you been?
20:42
SPEAKER_05: Are you ever coming home again?
20:44
SPEAKER_05: You look at your calendar and it's like Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and then the next week and another Saturday, you're like, I'm really gonna have to get some flowers or something.
20:58
SPEAKER_05: It is it is hard.
20:59
SPEAKER_05: It's I mean, and we're not, I mean, I'm not famous.

27:09
SPEAKER_08: Uh and Darren's gotta come from uh hell.
27:13
SPEAKER_08: Like 400 miles away.
27:14
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it's well that that's hell.
27:15
SPEAKER_08: Well, Arizona, all almost the majority of Arizona is like living in hell.
27:19
SPEAKER_07: Oh yeah, Phoenix in the summertime.
27:20
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
27:22
SPEAKER_01: Um he always calls and rubs it in like in the middle of winter when it's 12 degrees outside with the wind chill factor.
27:28
SPEAKER_01: He always calls me up and he was like, You'll never guess how warm it is, and I'm on the golf course.
27:33
SPEAKER_01: I'm like, yeah, but you also have to put up with 115 degrees for like a month straight.
27:39
SPEAKER_07: Not being able to leave the house.
27:41
SPEAKER_08: I don't I don't I I play golf, but I wouldn't I I don't ever think I'd want to play when it was over 100 degrees.
27:48
SPEAKER_08: I mean, I don't know, I'm like a fair weather golfer, 80 degrees, and we're good to go.
27:52
SPEAKER_08: Alright, so what else have you been doing?
27:54
SPEAKER_08: Because I know you've been doing like an encore cafe here uh locally.
27:58
SPEAKER_08: Um where else have you been playing?
27:59
SPEAKER_08: I I know you've been playing a couple other games.
28:01
SPEAKER_01: So I kind of took a little little bit of time off to kind of once again work on the craft and perfect some things and kind of change my perspective on music a little bit.
28:09
SPEAKER_01: Um one of the things I pride myself on is I can sit at any restaurant, bar, grill, or whatever and just I have 800 songs in my iPad that I can pull out at any time, but I get bored playing them.
28:22
SPEAKER_01: So a lot of times I'll just look out at the audience and just to say, give me some name an artist, name a genre or whatever, and just see what I can do and what I can kind of pull out of my butt.
28:32
SPEAKER_01: But instead of doing that, because I don't feel like I'm you know, I can fake my boy through like a Garth Brooks song, but it's not gonna be up to 100%.
28:41
SPEAKER_01: It's not gonna be that good.
28:42
SPEAKER_01: Right.
28:42
SPEAKER_01: So I've been really kind of refocusing myself on I still want to play songs people know, I still want to play songs that people are gonna enjoy.
28:49
SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna play some like, oh, this is some indie guy who wrote this song 45 years ago that nobody's ever heard of.
28:56
SPEAKER_01: Like a guy named Nick Drake, who's an amazing player and singer and songwriter, but nobody knows who he is.
29:03
SPEAKER_01: Um I've just been trying to work on that.
29:05
SPEAKER_01: So I took a little bit of a break, and also because of the cold weather, most of these places kind of shut down their live music.
29:10
SPEAKER_01: COVID had them shut down too.
29:12
SPEAKER_01: They're opening up like crazy now.
29:13
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
29:14
SPEAKER_01: So I'm I've gotten monthly standing gigs at um country club.
29:19
SPEAKER_01: I'm working with Rubios to get monthly standing gigs there for solo gigs.
29:23
SPEAKER_01: Uh the family band broke up that I was in.
29:25
SPEAKER_01: Uh, we lost our guitar, our guitar player moved to Florida, and then my sister kind of took it upon herself to say, well, maybe this is the time to kind of cut it out.
29:32
SPEAKER_01: That's too bad.
29:33
SPEAKER_01: After three years of us playing together, we kind of shut that down.
29:36
SPEAKER_01: But we're looking to retool that.
29:39
SPEAKER_01: I'm also playing with Darren.
29:40
SPEAKER_01: I'm driving down to Arizona, he's driving up here right now, so we're gonna be doing some stuff, and then mostly just solo weeks.
29:46
SPEAKER_08: The job you have now gives you that kind of flexibility a little bit on weekends now, before you were kind of locked up on weekends having to work.
29:53
SPEAKER_08: That's right.
29:54
SPEAKER_08: I know.
29:56
SPEAKER_08: Or on burden his soul.
29:57
SPEAKER_08: You know, it looks like I just want to say something about Ryan.
30:00
SPEAKER_08: Well, I'm on leave right now, so I like to go by the place and honk and wave.
30:04
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
30:05
SPEAKER_08: But um not only did you get me started, I think you got me started in the podcast when you after I went to work at the same place you were working, and you got me into you got me into that job too, if I remember correctly.
30:19
SPEAKER_08: That's right.
30:20
SPEAKER_09: So you owe me everything.
30:22
SPEAKER_09: I guess so.
30:23
SPEAKER_01: That's what I hear.
30:23
SPEAKER_09: I guess so.
30:24
SPEAKER_09: With a free microphone today.
30:27
SPEAKER_01: So this is all mine, I'm just kidding.
30:29
SPEAKER_08: I I saw you were there eyeballing the board, but you'll have to fight rinse.
30:32
SPEAKER_08: I know.
30:33
SPEAKER_07: If anybody's gonna steal this board, it's me first.
30:38
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, the new job does afford me weakens to be able to do that sort of stuff.
30:42
SPEAKER_08: And um you can give them a plug too if you want.
30:44
SPEAKER_08: I mean, it's up to you, man.
30:46
SPEAKER_08: No.
30:46
SPEAKER_08: No, never mind.
30:48
SPEAKER_02: No, I guess not.
30:50
SPEAKER_08: It'll be hard for me to sell them a sponsorship then if you're the only reason I'm saying that is because I'm the warehouse manager and I don't want any more product to come into the place.
30:57
SPEAKER_08: I'm already swapped.
31:00
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I I see all the stuff, the posts on Facebook.

SPEAKER_01: Good.
31:53
SPEAKER_01: Well, then maybe I won't play this song.
31:59
SPEAKER_01: What I love about this song is just the knowledge behind the fact that Jackson Brown wrote this sitting at a bus stop when he was 16 years old.
32:07
SPEAKER_01: And it's insane to me that someone can have these deep thoughts and this deep of a connection with their lyrics and what they're trying to convey as Jackson Brown when he's 16.
32:19
SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's artists who are in their 50s who can't write songs as well as this.
32:23
SPEAKER_01: So I'm oh I is do I know this?
32:25
SPEAKER_01: Is this a popular song?
32:26
SPEAKER_01: You should know this song.

SPEAKER_01: I'll we'll I'll pick it up.
35:35
SPEAKER_07: Those are my favorite kind of songs.
35:37
SPEAKER_07: The ones where it's like people reminiscing about how they used to be happy, but not anymore.
35:42
SPEAKER_07: I'm like, yeah, that's a great tune for me.
35:45
SPEAKER_01: And I feel those are the ones that are written out of the purest and realest emotion.
35:49
SPEAKER_01: The deck of their heart.
35:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know, because anyone can write a song about shaking it off or you know, putting a ring.
35:58
SPEAKER_07: Or how mad they are at their butt is.
36:01
SPEAKER_09: Or how big their buttons.
36:03
SPEAKER_09: That's a solid point.

SPEAKER_09: Or how blingy their butt is.
36:06
SPEAKER_09: How blingy.
36:07
SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
36:10

36:14
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it's true.
