  SPEAKER_03: And I always wanted to play guitar.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but my mom, and I agree with her, thought it was important to learn piano because if you know anything about music theory, it's certainly a lot easier to look at the way a piano is laid out and understand conceptually.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_03: And that's still the way I think about things.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_03: If I'm building chords, you know, like the guitar is a matrix and then it changes based on the tuning.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_03: But the piano, you know, you can just sit there and go, okay, one, three, five, seven, you know, whatever it is.
• 9:31

  SPEAKER_01: I'm proud of you in those two times.

  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: Did you look crazy carrying the tuba?
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_01: Like the case for the tuba is obnoxious.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_03: No, I think I look exactly what you think a tuba player looks like.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_03: Really?
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_03: Really?
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: I called you the Marbow man earlier.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_01: For God's sakes, throw me a bone here.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_03: So I when I was in seventh grade, which is when the band program started at um back in Fort Smith, um, I went in and I was trying out and I wanted to play trumpet really badly because I wanted to play the melody.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_03: And um I was trying it out and my lips were too big.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_03: My lips were too big.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_03: I couldn't get my you know, I couldn't get sell all.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_03: I couldn't get I couldn't get my lips tight enough.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_03: And so, you know, then you just start going out in mouthpieces.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_03: And so eventually it was like, you know, I get down to the two, but the biggest one, they're like, and I played it and I and they're like, oh, this works.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_03: And then I go, well, maybe I want to do percussion then because I'd seen like the movie drumline.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_03: You know, and you're like, oh yeah, I'm gonna be like I'm gonna be the drummer, I'm gonna do like be a snare drummer or quads or something.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_03: And um and the band director at the time is a lady named uh Jennifer Steele, Miss Steele.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_03: Um she she looks at me, she's like, We need tuba players, and so that's what it was.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_03: And I think ditch diggers.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_03: I think they were like, let's take the tall fat.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_03: They were like, we're gonna take the tall fat kid and like put him in the back and like walk around.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, that's did the tuba like eat you alive because you're little.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: I was the only tuba player.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: You were all those three, yes.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: And they needed a tuba.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, that's why I was first chair.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, the details are coming out now.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_01: I see, yeah, bro.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: I was first chair at like I don't typically let people beat up on my co-host.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I typically a whole room full of co-hosts.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's almost like I don't even need to be on the podcast.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_01: But all right, so you were doing that when you were young.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and I started playing in bands in eighth grade.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_03: And so I was right, yeah, here's my confession.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, ready.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry, you know.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_03: Forgive me, Father, for I have sent the um the uh like growing up, we didn't listen to a ton of country music.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_03: Um when we did, we listened to artists like Toby Keith, um Tracey Hadge.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_03: God rest his soul.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_03: You know, God rest his soul.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_01: Red Solo Cup, I love Toby Keith.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_03: I love Toby Keith, and and I think in a lot of ways you can hear that the music that I'm writing now.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_03: But so when we were I was raised on classic rock, like 60s, 70s, 80s rock.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_03: And so I always had a classic rock cover band from eighth grade, eighth grade, ninth grade, all the way through senior year, and we changed the name of the band every year.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_03: So I want to say in eighth grade, in eighth grade, we probably peaked and it went downhill from there, but we had a band called the Pimpin' Purple Pigeons from the Planet Lovetron 9.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_03: PPPL9.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: Iconic.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_03: It's kind of great, actually.

  SPEAKER_03: Um, but yeah, always always did that.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_03: And um and then when I I wrote songs and we played certain songs, and actually I wrote the first song I wrote, which I probably should have been like a precursor or like an indication to things to come, was in ninth grade, a girl broke my heart, and I wrote a song called Don't Wanna See You Again.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_03: Wow, and and it was vicious, it was vindictive, it was You're the little Taylor Swift ish.

  SPEAKER_03: I think the five-year plan currently is that I want to get this album out.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_03: I want to promote the absolute heck out of it.
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_01: Can we come to the release party?
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_03: I want to have like a showcase where I play through the album live and uh and like have a band and do all it'll be a 10-track album and so about an hour's worth of music and play the hour set.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_01: We're in.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_01: We'll do that.

• 38:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, it clicks.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_01: It finally clicks.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_03: And for me, that's when I get to play live with a band.

  SPEAKER_03: And at that point, you know, out of respect for the Cowboys.
