  SPEAKER_05: I was worried about it.
• 1:29

  SPEAKER_05: I mean, because you know, number one, we haven't had a uh COVID uh decimated our ranks.
• 1:36

  SPEAKER_05: Um we lost I I was uh I was looking around when we got we got there on Saturday, not this past Saturday, but Saturday before to set up everything.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_05: And I I was looking around, I was like, you know, there's only like four people on my staff that have actually been staffed.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_06: Let's talk about that for a second because uh ATLC started in eighty seven.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_06: And you should know because you were there.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_06: I was there, yes.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_06: But but it's been going on for a long time.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_06: Yes, and it's had um um I'm not gonna say it's had the same programming because the programming has changed, but it's had the same goals.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_06: Yes, if you will, yeah, um, for this whole time.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_06: So 20, I don't know how many years.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_06: How many years is that?
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_06: Uh 30.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_06: 30 years, right?
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_05: 300.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_05: I'll say 97 would be 10 years.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_05: 2007 would be 20 years, right?
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_05: So we're come we're actually 35.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_05: 35.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_05: 35?
• 2:39
  unknown: Right?
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_06: Because I gr well speak we'll we'll get to that too, but I had my re my 30 year reunion this past weekend.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, did you?
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, we'll talk about that.

  SPEAKER_06: But so and that was 92, so 87, 88, 89, 99.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_06: 36 years ATLC's been around.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_05: Okay.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_05: That sounds right.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_06: Does that make sense?
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_06: Yes.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_06: So they've had the same goal for 36 years, which is a combination of things, which is um more often than not, be c being comfortable in your own self, you know.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_05: Well, that I mean that's the ultimate goal.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_05: Because I think once you achieve that, you can there's n there's really not much else that can stop you.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_05: And you know, once you realize that you're you're you're okay.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_05: You're you're good to go as is, yeah, you can do anything, man.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_06: You know what I mean?
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_06: And there's, you know, the the subgenres of of of of trying to go through life without alcohol and and drugs and especially during your formative years.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_05: You know, right.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_06: Obviously when you turn 21, that's a decision you can make, but but uh just the fact that you don't need it.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, exactly.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_06: You know, so and and it's it's been an admirable goal for for so long.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_06: And there's there's been a kind of a core uh group of people that have kept it going.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_06: Uh and you know, um that core would get smaller and smaller as the years progressed, but you're saying when you showed up this year, that core was core.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_06: It was a new core.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_05: It was basically I I I we kind of joked around this week calling it ATLC 2.0.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_05: It's kind of a restart.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_05: Uh somebody somebody said it was a soft restart.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_05: Um and it really it really kind of was because uh you know, like I said, a lot of the staff hadn't had never A, never been staff, and B went to camp a long time ago.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_05: Like I said, there was only four there that were at the last in-person camp in 2019.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_05: So it was like really, it was just like okay, let's do this.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_05: Let's uh let's see what happens.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_05: And so Sunday the kids all showed up and all there was only 18 of 'em.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_06: And in the past, I think what what what is the most that that ATLC has had?
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_05: I think the most we've ever had is 72.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_05: Somewhere in the 70s.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_05: I remember one year we had like, but usually it runs in between 50 and 60.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_06: Yep.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_05: Usually.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_05: So to have eighteen, it was like you know, it was small, but I thought it was perfect because it was a nice um like you said, soft opening.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_05: Soft opening, yeah, yeah.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_05: It was like, you know, let's get back into the swing of things.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_05: Yep.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_05: You know, let's get back used to having this uh you know, going by a schedule and going through this and doing that.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_05: And let's not let's not overwhelm a young staff.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_05: You know, right.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_06: Yep.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_05: So and and it worked out beautifully because with a small number, all the kids got to know each other really quick.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_05: Yep.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_05: And they bonded really quick and they bonded with a staff really quick, and it was just awesome to watch.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_06: So it w it made my job really easy just to And what's gonna be great is is when those kids go back to school and either kind of apply what they've learned or just word of mouth talk about the camp that they went to this summer and and hopefully the numbers will will go up.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm not saying we should go right back to fifty six kids right away.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, maybe let's let's let's build our base back up of staff.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_06: Yep.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_05: You know, because we gotta rebuild that up.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_05: And uh but yeah, I mean, you know, eventually get back up to the big numbers and it'll be and it's just wonderful.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_05: And you know, we were up at the uh University of Maine, Fort Kent campus, and it was just awesome.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_05: They were they are so good to us up there.

  SPEAKER_06: Um and Gartley was there, but Gartley brought fireworks like an armful of fireworks.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_05: I'm not surprised at all.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_06: And um and so that I we didn't go to that.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_05: Okay.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_06: Um but uh it was a good turnout for that, and they had a great time and there was a lot of uh there was a lot of alcohol involved, I think.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_06: But uh uh everybody, you know, had a good time and were safe and and got home and everything.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_06: And then the next day, we uh the next night, I should say, um, we had the um formal, I guess, get together at the country club.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_06: Ah yeah.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_06: Um and yeah, I have to admit, when I first got there, and my wife says the same thing, um, it felt awkward.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_06: Okay.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_06: A little awkward.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_06: I get that.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_06: Um not only because well, most of the people that were there were people that we see every day anyway, the people that stayed in town.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know, so that part wasn't awkward.

• 8:51
  SPEAKER_06: We'll go sit at a table.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_06: Okay.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_06: So we sat next to a couple that we sat next to at the 20-year reunion because they're hilarious and good friends of ours.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_06: And you know, you walk in you and you sign the guest book, it's it felt like I thought it felt like a wedding reception or a or a baby shower, you know, or something.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_06: And they had a they had a uh photo booth with you know sunglasses and different things that you could put on for the nobody used it.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_06: Really?
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_06: Not one person.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_06: Of course, I don't think they told anybody that it was there, but nobody, nobody used it.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_06: Um and then we had there were some people that came from from out of town, you know, some of the away folks um that we hadn't seen.

• 10:35
  SPEAKER_06: Sure.

• 10:44
  SPEAKER_06: Nine or ten.
• 10:45

  SPEAKER_06: Um but I think it was worth it.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_06: I think it was it was good.

• 11:32
  SPEAKER_06: Then they invited us back Sunday, so we went back down Sunday.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_06: Oh cool.

  SPEAKER_06: Um anything else happened?
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I we got done camp last Thursday.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_05: We put the syndicate played a gig Thursday night, so I was in rare form to say.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_05: Yep.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_05: Uh I'm not gonna apologize for the remark I made because I I can I take it.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_05: I stick by it.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_06: Can I say it?
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, absolutely.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_06: Okay.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_05: But I'm not gonna apologize for it.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_06: If I don't care if it's so if it's true.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_06: If it's the remark that I I'm thinking of.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_06: So so we played in Caribou, which is the the neighboring town, which is there's a crosstown rivalry between between the Vikings and the Wildcats.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_06: Always has been.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_06: So so I jokingly, in the beginning of the gig, I jokingly said into the microphone, I said, Tonight we're not the Star City Syndicate, because Prescott is the Star City.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_06: Well, tonight we're not the Star City Syndicate, we're just the Syndicate.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_06: And where Mark chimed in, we're the Sweden Street Syndicate.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_05: Well I thought somebody in the crowd said that.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_05: I think it was Mark.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_05: It might have been.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_05: I couldn't really tell.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_06: Um I was a little sleep deprived at that point.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_06: Right, right.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_06: Um and so we they went from there, and everybody, you know, we got a little chuckle out of it.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_06: Ha ha, they're not Star City, they're just the syndicate, and blah blah blah blah.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_06: And then later in the evening, one of our one of our biggest uh hits that we do is Sweet Caroline.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_06: And we get the crowd involved, obviously.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_06: It's the whole Red Sox thing.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_06: And and and so the crowd is singing along.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_06: It was probably the funniest part of that night was what did you say?
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_05: You said Well, I said I said, you know, when we play in Prescott, they're much louder.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_05: Or something with that.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_05: You were not wrong.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_05: And and then I heard it was like, ooh, he drew first blood.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_05: And I was like, I don't care, I'm from Marcel.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_05: I'll say whatever I want.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_05: I'm not part of this.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_05: So But I had to I had to do it, man, because it was just too funny.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_06: It was awesome.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_06: But you were you were wrong.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_06: No, I'm not wrong.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_06: They were kind of like, I don't want to say they were sticks in the mud, but I mean it was just not as enthusiastic as yeah, they were kind of going through the motions.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_06: It's like, come on.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_06: Although, you know, Prescott is our hometown crowd and they know what to do.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you know, so that's and we haven't played uh Sweden Street in quite a while.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_05: So at least three years.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 13:55

  SPEAKER_06: Something else happened uh since the last time that we had a podcast.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_06: Um I've already announced it and everything, so but I haven't announced on the podcast.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_06: I got another job.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_06: We haven't uh we haven't talked about that.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_06: Uh so this was kind of a it's you know, most of my uh employment history has been just kind of on a whim, yeah, usually.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_06: So I I've already I've talked talked about the fact that you know I was in radio for 25 years and and uh decided to go back to school, so I went back to school for elementary education, um, and then it just got really bad.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_06: And on a whim, I applied for a high school position and got it, so I went and taught high school.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_06: And then the the hospital called me, said we have this job, you know, so I went to work for the hospital.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_06: And so then the hospital um well, the hospital held uh something over my head that I refused to do.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_06: So I left the hospital and went back into education and became an ed tech.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_06: And um this one uh was kind of uh definitely on a whim because I was um let me let me back up.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_06: So for years, people have been asking me, how come you don't teach music?
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_06: And I've always given them the same answer, and it's you know uh music to me is an outlet.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_06: I sure you know I don't want to make it a job, I don't think I mean I do want to make it a job, but I mean I don't want to do you know what I mean?
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_06: You know, there's this education make it a job on your own terms.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_06: Right, right, right.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_06: And so it's just kind of a stock answer.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_06: And I mean over the years, they've uh many people have said that.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_06: And I I joined uh anyway, I joined a band in 2016 that's comprised of mostly music teachers.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_06: Yes.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_06: Um that was clue number one, or clue number two, actually.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_06: And then, you know, years go by and um this summer I'm giving guitar lessons.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_06: So I'm teaching music.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_06: And um that was arranged, you know, before school's out.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_06: And so I the last one of the last days of school, I was in ed tech at an elementary school, and one of the last days of school, I went into this fourth grade teacher's room.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_06: Um, lady I graduated with, actually, she was at the reunion, um, and she said, as I'm walking out, um, she said, Have you ever thought about teaching music?
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_06: And I said, Yeah, and I gave the same stock answer that I've always given.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_06: Later that day I'm mowing my lawn, and you know, I love mowing my lawn because I can think.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_06: And so I'm thinking.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_06: And it's like it literally just hit me upside the head.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_06: What ha what had happened, by the way, was the band director for the school district that I I work in, uh, he and his wife, who is the chorus director, basically, and music educator, uh, the band director got a job in another town, and so they were moving.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_06: And so two positions were opened, band director and and chorus.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_06: And so I'm thinking while I'm mowing the lawn, if you haven't got the first clue, which is everybody says you should teach music, second clue, you're in a band with music teachers.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_06: You know, and then and then the venerable Molly Priest leaves her position open and I said, you know what?
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_06: I'm not qualified.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, I am qualified, but I'm not.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_06: Like I don't have the the the certification to be a music teacher.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_06: Um so I decide I don't care.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_06: I'm gonna apply.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_06: So I wrote a cover letter and and included, you know, I said, you know, bear with me.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_06: You know, I've been doing music for 30 plus years and blah blah blah blah, and love kids and love working with all age groups.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_06: You know, I taught high school and have been working with elementary kids and blah blah blah.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_06: And just my luck, I'm the only one that applied.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_06: That's clue number two.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_06: So I so I'm a music teacher now.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_06: Um I'll be teaching, and this will be the fun part.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_06: I'll be teaching um pre-K I say fun.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_06: Um I'm I'm gonna make it fun, hopefully.
• 23:41

• 23:51
  SPEAKER_06: It'll be like one class after another, like four classes in the morning, and two classes after lunch or whatever.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_06: And then three days a week I go to the high school, I end my day at the high school with the high school chorus.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_06: Sure.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_06: And then two days a week I go to the middle school and do the middle school chorus.

  SPEAKER_06: Uh Ronnie Dunn uh from Brooks and Dunn just released a new album, which I got, and it's it's like he went back to the the the old Brooks and Dunn sound, which is nice.
• 29:56

  SPEAKER_06: So that's a really good album.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_06: Yep.

  SPEAKER_06: Um and um I was looking around and I found out that Brian Adams put out a new album back in March.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_06: Really?
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_06: Which I never even I didn't hear anything about it.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_06: I didn't hear anything about it.

  SPEAKER_06: Um but I mean Carrie Underwood, that's that's a big name.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_06: And it just kind of was like cricket's I don't know if I don't know if it's uh if it's charting or I I haven't heard it on the radio.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_06: Of course I don't really listen to modern country radio very much.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_06: But um but I uh just really little fanfare for for Carrie Underwood's new album, so uh unless I'm completely missing something.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_06: But the other thing I wanted to do was just play I'm on Amazon right now and I've got Brian Adams' new album up.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_06: And you know how it plays song snippets?
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_06: I just want to play a couple of the song snippets um because supposedly, and I'll read some of these reviews first, Brian Adams' last few albums have kind of been I think you know the last album that I enjoyed from Brian Adams was uh East Side Story?
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_06: Eastside Story, I think is what it's called.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_06: Um which was way back in I don't know 2005.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_06: Something like that.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_05: I don't even know.

  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_05: I tuned out after like Reckless.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_06: Really?
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_06: You didn't like um Into the Fire or Waking Up the Neighbors?
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_06: Into the Fire is my favorite Brian Rams album.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_05: I think after the he did that song for the Kevin Costner Robin Hood movie.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_06: That was on Waking Up the Neighbours, yeah.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_06: Was it?
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I got so sick of that song.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_05: Well I just kind of tuned him out because I like I mean, I like the uh the Reckless album and the the one before that.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_06: Uh the one before what?
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_06: Reckless.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, Cuts Like a Knife?

  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_05: I like those albums.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_06: Um actually, you just brought something up that we could talk about.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_06: Okay.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_06: Um That's what I do.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_06: So um Is it that meme?
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_05: Is it when somebody says they lost their pizza cutter, so they use their Brian Ad Adam CD?
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_06: Because it cuts like a knife.
• 32:10
  SPEAKER_06: No.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_06: No.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_06: But I wanna I wanna um I've put this out on Facebook before, and actually um our friend, uh our Canadian friend, Tim uh Tim.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_06: Tim! He commented on it uh a while back that he doesn't really care for Brian Adams.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_06: But that album he could listen to on repeat.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_06: Cuts Like an After?
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_06: No, Into the Fire.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, Into the Fire.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_06: Which is the one after Reckless.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_06: Okay.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_06: Uh and I always said that you could put uh Reckless up against Into the Fire uh any any day of the week, and I would think that Into the Fire would win.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_06: But most people disagree with me.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_06: Um Into the Fire had uh this song.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_06: Actually, I don't know why I'm playing it on YouTube.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_06: I could probably just play it from uh from iTunes.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_06: Um I'll show I'll show you what I mean, and then I'll play a little bit of the of the new album because um because this is a music commentary podcast.
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_05: Is that what it is?
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_06: It is um Alright, so let's go to uh Okay, so think about what was on Reckless.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_06: You had One Night Love Affair, it was a big hit.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_06: Yep.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_06: You had Run to You, Heaven, I Need Somebody, somebody like you.
• 33:33
  SPEAKER_06: You had Summer 69, obviously.

  SPEAKER_06: Uh It's Only Love, holy cow.
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it's a big album, dude.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_06: It's Only Love, which was with Tina Turner.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_06: And I think that might have been those those were the only hits.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_06: Uh which is a lot, actually, when you when you think about it.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_05: Um like a 10-song album, right?
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_05: I don't know, 10-12 songs.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_05: When half of them are in, you know, it's like a hysteria, you know.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_06: And then I mean, how do you follow that up?
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_06: So he they they purposely wrote differently for Into the Fire.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_06: And I don't know if you remember this song or not.
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_06: This is Heat of the Night.
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_06: This actually features Brian Adams on lead guitar.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_06: Remember this at all?
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_06: No.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_06: Really?
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_06: This was a hit.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_06: This was really the only hit.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_06: Or maybe there's two, there's two.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_05: I probably have, but just not bringing any bells.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_05: Like I said, I tuned it now.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_06: Okay, so it's yeah.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_06: Okay, then that was that was the hit, and then this.

  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I think I remember this one.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_05: Okay.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_02: It wasn't um It wasn't East Tide Story.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_06: It was Room Service, which was the last Brian Adams album that I liked.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_06: And then after this album, he put out Waking Up the Neighbors, which of course has that Robin Hood.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_06: Everything I do, I do it for you.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_06: But it also has uh a bunch of other hits on it.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_06: It was done with Mutt Lang, and Joe Elliott from Def Leopard calls it the best Def Leopard album that Def Leopard never did.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_06: Because let's well, let's go.
• 36:58

• 37:26
  SPEAKER_05: You know what, that you mentioned, it's a Mot Lang Alan.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_05: It sounds like Brian Adams is subbing in for Joe Elliott.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_05: Really?
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_05: Honestly.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
• 37:33

• 37:38
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_06: Um he put out um an album called 18 Till I Die, which is pretty good, and then uh Room Service, which was decent on a day like today, was was a little different, but but but good.

  SPEAKER_06: And but the stuff that he's been putting out lately um has been just kind of I don't know.
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_06: So I I saw this and and I went and read the reviews, and he's got five star reviews.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_06: Oh.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_06: And it says, I buy a lot of records, and when I write a review on one, you know it's damn well worth your time to listen to it.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_06: Brian Adams has a new album out, and I got to give it praise.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_06: It still reminds me of his glory days back in the summer of 69, you might say.
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_06: Oh.
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_06: He yeah.
• 38:15

• 38:51
  SPEAKER_06: And they only play 30 seconds first.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_02: So we're gonna go to the city.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_02: I need a woman like you.
• 39:51
  SPEAKER_06: I will say that he did put out a an acoustic album a few years ago.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_06: Called Bare Bones, which is just him and an acoustic guitar, and uh a guy playing piano.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_06: I don't know how the guy's in his 60s.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, he sounds exactly the same.
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I'm about to say his vocals haven't changed.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_06: He can hit all those same notes.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_01: That's cool.
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_06: Um, there are some interesting song titles.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_00: It says John Cleese Blue Jeans and a baseball cap.
• 40:46

• 40:50
  SPEAKER_06: Song is called kick-ass.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_06: Okay.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_00: How cool is that?
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_00: Then all the world went silent, and they looked up because they all wanted to hear what he had to say.
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_00: And after a moment's silence, he said, Let it be guitar.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_06: Let there be guitar, I'm sure that's what's this one is called I Ain't Worth Shit Without You.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.

  SPEAKER_06: Oh, really?
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_06: So you can't.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_06: That's impressive.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_06: It was because it was made during the pandemic.
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, sure.
• 41:34
  SPEAKER_06: So he didn't go anywhere and he just played all the instruments.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_06: So I don't know.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_06: I'm debating whether I want to buy it.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_06: Because I have a lot of Brian Adams, and and I'm I'm happy to see it's similar to old older Brian Adams.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, because his uh his newer stuff uh hasn't been great, to be honest.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_06: But I don't know.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_06: I w I just wanted to share that.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_06: The album is called So Happy It Hurts.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_06: So um that's uh Brian Adams, which came out March 11th of this year.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I didn't hear a thing about it.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_06: I didn't hear a thing about it.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_06: I and that's the thing about I think we were talking about how we didn't hear anything about Carrie Underwood.
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_06: We're in such a um hopefully my microphone isn't gonna fall off here.
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_06: We're in such a um um what what is the word I'm looking for?
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_06: Over overstimulated world.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_06: You know, with with social media and if you're not f like if I'm not I'm not following Carrie Underwood on Facebook or Instagram or you know, I don't follow her account.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_06: So if you're not following someone, do you even know what they're uh up to?
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_05: Unless they you know, unless it's like a Will Smith uh Chris Rock situation.
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_05: No, you're not gonna Right.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_06: I mean unless unless they unless the record company spends a lot of money on promotion.
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_05: Which I don't think they do MR.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_05: They don't do a R anymore.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_06: Unless it's uh like like they have a lot of stake in in in the game or something.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_05: Um was it, a week or so ago, the bat the Backstreet Boys came to Bangor?
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I didn't even know about it.
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_05: I didn't I didn't know it either until all these, you know, all these uh middle-aged women were like, Oh, I'm gonna see the Backstreet Boys, and I'm thinking Well I thought half of them were dead.
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_05: I don't know where they were.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_06: But I think if you follow them on on one of the social media sites or if you follow the waterfront concerts, they would announce that.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_05: Well, I'm sure they would have, but I I didn't even know they were touring.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_06: But that's what I'm saying.
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_06: You used to hear radio commercials.
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_06: Of course we don't listen to the radio very much anymore.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_06: That's true, yeah.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_06: You know, we have to we have to, you know, call call it like it is.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_06: But um I think it's the the the whole thing has changed.
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_06: Uh again.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_06: I think it's there's there's not a lot of promotion behind uh artists anymore, even if they're major artists, because they have their core audience.
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_06: And and their core audience will follow them.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_06: You know.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_05: So I think I mean basically every Every artist is the grateful dead now.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_05: You know, they just have a falling and they just go wherever they go.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.

• 47:52
  SPEAKER_06: Well, I would and you would, but most people wouldn't.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_06: He's a virtuoso of many instruments.

  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 48:52
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 48:53
  SPEAKER_05: Um Yeah, but I don't think anybody I mean, we you know, when you grew up in the 80s, you didn't really expect, you know, a guitar virtual will sort of come out of Prince.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_05: Uh I mean he was a great singer and a great songwriter, and you know, he played all the instruments.
