Intro and wrap for AP Religion Roundup
"I'm Walter ratliff with the religion minute. This spring Grammy winning singer Lauren daigle was in the throes of a record deal that would broaden her fan base. As plans for a new release were spinning up, a recent promotional concert caused her to pause and reflect on her role. Just as she was supposed to hold a Nashville preview concert in March, 6 people, including three children, were killed in a Christian school shooting. Daigle's concert turned into a prayer vigil for the families. That night, at the privileged, it was actually really hard for me to talk about hope. She said giving people hope has always been her goal as a songwriter. But she's had to think hard about how the shooting focused her attention. Says songs like, thank God I do offer a hopeful outlook. I feel like there was a lot of animosity in the years that we all just experienced. Bagel says she wants her music to help bring that hope. I'm Walter ratliff.

How Victoria Jackson's Husband Went Viral
"You keep interrupting, that's why I can't finish my story. Oh, is that what it is? Okay, then go ahead. So Paul read me his U inspired Paul, my husband, the cop, with this book, to do something. He wrote a letter to the tennessean who is liberally biased. They won't print it. So I said, you know what? We're going to put it on the Internet. So I put it on my YouTube channel. I don't know what it's called. Victoria Jackson, YouTube channel. Again, I got to interrupt you for clarity. So Paul was inspired by reading my book to write something. The tennessean did not publish it, and you decided that he would read it out loud and you would put that video on your YouTube channel. Okay, that's fantastic. Go ahead. Continue. And I put it on Instagram, and it went viral because everybody agrees with this that there's moral madness in our country right now. If you watch the Grammys, which I didn't, but I saw clips. It's satanic, okay? But that's so boring. Why don't these artists realize Satan has already been done? I mean, Madonna, Gaga, blah, blah, blah, blah. They're all looking like prostitutes. Be unique. Do the opposite. Look like a little school girl who's innocent. Man, if I was a good singer, it's a no brainer. Don't go down the look like a prostitute Satan route. It's been done.

The "He Gets Us" Heresy With Allie Stuckey
"Stuckey is with us, host of relatable with Allie Beth stuckey from the blaze podcast network. Ally, I've thought about this. I've prayed about this. I was have not spoken out about this intentionally for weeks, and you actually helped inspire me to do so, how should we think about this advertising campaign? Well, I feel the same way as you, and as a bunch of Christians, when you see something like the display at the Grammys and you just see the open Satan worship there, it can be really refreshing to see something in the mainstream that seems to be reflecting Jesus, the opposite values of what we saw at the Grammys. However, I am equally uncomfortable with this equally as you are because it is the projection of modern political and cultural narratives onto the narrative in the gospel story of Jesus. And so what it does, rather than attracting people to Jesus, it actually distracts people from the gospel. Because you already mentioned, Jesus wasn't a refugee, but even beyond that, that is peripheral to the story of Jesus. So rather than spending all of this money, maybe sharing the gospel of Salvation of who Jesus really is, instead they are watering down who Jesus is, they are giving you a false Jesus. So while I want to be excited about any campaign that is promoting Jesus to the masses, yes and amen, I can not celebrate promoting a Jesus that isn't even real and is not going to draw people into the truth of what the gospel is.

A Deliberate Act of Moral Provocation at the Grammys
"Thought it'd be fun to get Debbie on here to talk with me about Madonna and about the Grammys and the so called Satan performance that they did. By the way, interesting about that is I saw an article that said that the choreographers, the Sam Smith fellow, knew exactly what he was doing. He was trying to create a massive incident. He said before the Grammys wait till the right wingers see what I have in mind for them. They're going to go nuts, they're going to go crazy. They won't be. They won't be able to contain themselves. So this was a, this was not something where they put on an interesting performance and then conservatives kind of just took it the wrong way. They did this as a sort of deliberate act of moral provocation. In fact, the support Sarah Sanders, when she goes, this is a left wing culture war that we would rather not fight, but were forced into it, were dragged into it because they want us to worship at their false idols. So worship not only at sexual perversion, all kinds of other perversion, but also evidently worship at the shrine of Satan himself. Like pan, right? Explain what you mean by pants. Right, so pan, that was one of the gods that was back in Jesus time. And they had this place in caesarea philippi. Is it accessory philippi? Says are philippi, where they basically the, you know, the non believers. I guess they were non Jews. Non Jews and non Christian believers or they didn't believe in Christ or they didn't think Christ was the messiah. Anyway, these people worshiped gods different gods and pan was one of the gods, but they also sacrificed their children, people, animals, and so it was really creepy. When we went to it and it just gave me an uneasiness. Well, watching just the clip of the Grammys was kind of gave me the same uneasiness.

Harry Styles Slammed for One Line in Grammy Acceptance Speech
"I want you to listen to what happened when Harry Styles won a Grammy Award just the other night. Take a listen. Man, I've been so, so inspired by every artist in this category with me at a lot of different times in my life, I listened to everyone in this category when I'm alone and. I think like on nights like tonight it's obviously so important for us to remember that there is no such thing as best in music. I don't think any of us sit in the studio thinking making decisions based on what is going to get us one of these. This is really, really kind. I'm so, so grateful I'm going to pass it over to my collaborators who are I'm just so. This doesn't happen to people like me very often and this is so so nice. Thank you very, very much. All right. So very nice speech. Now he's under attack. So it turns out that Harry Styles has now been accused of having white privilege. Because he said that these kinds of things don't happen to people like him very often. What did he mean by? Because everybody says, oh, you're a white guy from Britain. You know, it's not like a white guy from Britain has won a Grammy before. So we're not quite sure exactly what he was talking. I mean, I don't know, maybe isn't he the one that wears the dresses, Harry Styles, yeah, that's him. So maybe it's maybe guys like him, he's saying, you know, these guys who wear dresses don't normally get the big awards. I don't know. But I'm telling you, they're coming after everybody. You better pay attention ladies and gentlemen.

Nobody Wants to Hire a 'Social Justice Warrior'
"All right ladies I don't want to get back to the fried chicken story and then I may talk about the Grammys. The fried chicken story is said that a mother would push her daughter because there was a video of it, the mother, you know, congratulating her daughter for being a social justice warrior. I just want people to understand, how do you think people, why do you think people gonna hire you? Why would somebody hire you? If they got a resume and see the false racism in social justice warriorship creates more disproportionate outcomes. If you cry racism, why would you hire a black person on your job? Why? Because they could tear it all down. Because somebody said something wrong to him and the whole bit they suing you, see, that's why it's all black people, but that can be the perception that people get because of what a lot of black people are doing. You don't want to be viewed that way. Just like these woke people. You go fill out an application and you woke in a woke world. Do you look like a liability to a company?

"But I also think that's a big reason of why Billy's performance last night was one of the best. I think if you're a Grammy voter, Grammy watcher, that only sees her in the context of these award shows and sees her Oscar performance last week, which was just doing the Bond theme. It's very classy. I love that she did happier than ever and that she really leaned into the dynamics at the end of that song and just really rocked out. It was awesome. It I saw her tour last month. It that was awesome. Two, and that becoming sort of the signature song from this record that is otherwise in a lot of ways very conservative and sort of crude in a way that the Grammys would like. I like that she is leaning into sort of that bombast and that side of her that doesn't often get seen on the award show stage. She didn't win any awards but we're still talking about her. And that kind of goes to show that the performance aspect still can be something that upstages someone with a good night, but also again, she has been co signed in this way that she both buys into you because she was there last night, but also I think makes her and shaming her peers. So can I just also, I just want to say something about what we basically been talking about here. And I think that just watching other people reacting to the people on stage, I don't know if you guys saw that. You definitely saw it 'cause they broadcasted. I don't know if you remember it, that ad that they had for the recording academy toward the end of the show, but they had all these artists come on, including her and say, repeat this tagline, which is that I am the academy. And the point of that infomercial was basically to say that this will no longer be going into the future. An institution of old white men, it's gonna have Asian women and Latinos and black women. And it's gonna be this entirely diverse collection of people deciding who your Grammy winners are gonna be. So if you're really bummed out about Natalie Cole winning album of the year in 1992 or whatever, don't worry because in 2032, your album of the year winner stands a chance to be or your record of the year stands to be the cold junior..

As long as they keep the dance up, I'll keep the dent up and she felt the same way and instant connection. It's a window into how real people navigate all kinds of love.

New episodes air every Wednesday. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Grammy cast. We're still here. Lindsey Wesley, JP. The Lil Nas X performance to me was interesting because I thought that was an example was like what you were just saying of kind of like expanding where it's like I'm doing three y'all didn't think I was going to be here. I'm doing three songs. But actually, it's like the whole thing is like much teamer than you've come to generally expect. I mean, he was already flying. I don't know. On the record, Montero, I think there's several lines about the Grammys. Like, I think he's someone who's still buys into that being this arbiter of mainstream success and that he's proving his haters wrong by being at the Grammys by winning Grammys, which is kind of rare for a young artist and someone as iconoclastic as him. I think that's a way in which he is a little more conservative than some of his peers and some more like pure rap artists that aren't straddling that pop line the way that he is. There was a reverence to his performance, especially last night. I think the old town road performance in 2020 was much better. And much more of them. Oh yeah, that was a great that was great. That was one of the best ones of the modern Grammy memory, but I think he was someone who was looking almost like too comfortable on that stage last night, which is not what we come to expect from him. And Billy is an interesting counterpoint to that too. You know, when talking at possibly the best thing that happened to Billie Eilish last night was that she got shut out and didn't win any Grammys. She does not need any more Grammys right now..

Anything about world war two. She's just really soaks up. Oh she will love it. So the the liner notes i'll tell you how the liner notes how the formation of that came about thinking about how to do it and what i wanted to do and i started thinking about the oral history track on the album. My grandpa created. It's about a half hour long and it's essentially a chronological story. His story a chronological story. What i did was for the lighter knows. I wanted to turn that into a small book on each page of the latter notes. There's a quote that helps tell the story from my grandpa so there will be about something it helps tell that story of a seven forty six the my grandpa and then below that there's either a historian or a military musician as there's quite a few military musicians historians on on here to that kind of expand in the broader sense. What my grandpa's talking about and there's also some world war two black and white artwork. That goes along with each photo. He really get this story of the ban on one page on the page below that you get the product context of the whole war on the bottom of the page. There's people on there who were john. Lucas He wrote the book is the general go-to guy for william diets is a guy. My grandpa played taps four but he's a world war two pilot hero plates apps for southern california. He's written something on in my grandpa all sorts of different historians who comment. I was surprised. At how many people that i contacted. I was like. Oh that guy's never going to get back to me. But i contact them. Hager's might project. Here's what i'm looking for. Something you'd be interested in doing and not one person told me not. There were overly excited and wrote a lot of really good stuff on there and distortions in people who grew up in that era will love it. i guarantee it. I don't doubt it. I i love history and i enjoy seeing the pictures that you post on twitter and it is. It's just really cool. To be able to to see history. And to know with the fact that i know you know why you're doing that it special for me but i think for anyone who is interested in world war two history. It's especially moving. Thank you. I appreciate that. Where can listeners. Find you on the internet so on the internet you can find if you're on twitter. You can find all of those world war two daily things that i post. Were just talking about on the handle at seven forty six f. e. a. f. band or there's also at jason underscore our underscore. Burt be your t- That's kind of a little bit of both so on my personal one post things about what's going on with the album more of like business side of things i'll posts mystery stuff on there to the band account you'll find all the world war two's death in stuff on there. I make posts about different spotify playlists that. Pick up the songs from the albums you can see. All the new songs are all playlist. The world war two vets are hopping on and twenty twenty one on instagram. You can find the band at seven. Forty six underscore a end and on facebook. It's pretty much the same thing. Seven forty six at uaf ban and do you have a website. Do the website is pretty much the same thing. It's seven forty six seven four six t h seven forty six faa dot com and on the band website. You can buy the full version of the cd minus so what comes with the cd minus the liner notes. So if you go to the band website you just like digital downloads It'll send you the entirety of the album. As well as the digitized world. War two video of the band out in the pacific. Which is i think. It's about nine minutes worth film. It's it's pretty good johnson. You can see kind of them. Practicing their instruments and playing around with the horsing around with each other and then had a pet monkeys at one point. You can see my grandpa's monkey cheech. It's pretty entertaining. A lot of people love the world war. Two of and just puts a face with these guys. You see them enjoying each other's company just kinda you think we're buddies would act while they're out there and their downtime. We're almost at the end of our interview. What haven't we talked about that. You went listeners. To know about your grandfather about the band about his band members or your your project just anything. What would you like for them to know. I think the main the main takeaway would be you know. This is something. I'm doing for these guys to try and get them out there. Given that professional experience so that people know what they did during the war there around fighting they were not doing the fighting. Although in the video you can see my grandpa playing around with. His trump is time. These guys who lived for entertaining the troops in giving them that peace of mind that you know one day you're going to go home and give them that little piece of home and so it's really. I'm just trying to pass on their story. The thing about the project. that's also we have mentioned yet is a i have a contract. I partnered with the uso. This band played shows in the pacific. The uso one of the first shows. I mentioned was on the front line with the uso group from the start. I wanted to have some kind of connection with the uso. Raise money for them. So i have a contract with the uso and a portion of every one of the sales goes to the uso to kind of maintain. Today the legacy of what these guys were doing. Trying to give people soldiers and airmen and marines a home while they're not at home while they're overseas keeping us safe from harm and so that's what the uso does today. My whole goal is help them keep doing that. And kind of keep disbands legacy going with that Donation of part of their album. All the sales. I think that that's pretty much. The gist of this project is honoring these guys in a way You would wanna honor world. War two veterans. That's fabulous one last question. What what do your students say about this. What kind of support and reactions do they have When they hear about it but they usually have this astonished. Look on their face like today. I told him that. I was going to be recording a podcast. Oh when does it come out come out. They get all excited about that kind of stuff and they hear the grammy talk. And i think that's really exciting. It really brings history to life when you can do stuff like this and bring it in the classroom but they get really excited about that and it makes learning more fun. It makes it easier for me to teach too because they're so excited about different things and they'll ask you this matt. I can remember the first time posted. A podcast. right. Told them that i was going to be on Cast if i was if i was famous. What's gonna be chuckled. Pretty entertaining for them. They love to hear about the accolades in and just the being able to go on different media things kind of think that's really cool and it's it's pretty fun to tell them about really kind of interjected into our history. Lessons actually have an assignment that i could give them every semester. Seventh graders every year. So i get a new batches. Students have an extra credit assignment with the album. So if they stream the album and they write an album review they can get up to twenty points extra credits so i think they like that aspect of it too. Yes extra always good. Yeah can't go wrong with extra credit. Jason as we wrap up our interview which you give.

And he kinda fine tuned a lot of the after effects so all trying to get rid of the noise and get the sound of the instruments to be louder than the the vinyl pops in his voice still sounds very vintage but he did amazing job. Just when you hear the records original recordings on the records versus what he turned it into this. It sounds amazing when he did so. I've worked with guys who have won grammys and been nominated for grammys for their sound. Engineering skills mentioned earlier. The started off kind of his way to honor.

Podcast go well. This is something that's really really kind of special. You don't hear this kind of thing. This would be something. We could see winning a best historical album grammy and so the more i heard this well. If these saying it must be true. it is and so i started looking into best historical grammy. What goes into that and all of a sudden this project on this trajectory of how great would be to give these guys this Professional music experience but not only that be able to earn an award that is reserved for those at the top of their their musicianship in win a grammy for world. War two essentially. And so. that's it eventually just tweaked into that and trying to win these guys at grammy. These really really great musicians. Who were in the middle of world war two. I have goosebumps listening to your story. Where is that process now. Though the process now is we hit this weird area so at this. This is should be the first time. I mentioning this. We haven't announced it yet. The album was released. Technically on november eleventh of twenty twenty. That's when it had its digital release and that's when it had its released on all the streaming platforms like spotify apple music. It got released then than a number of media things since then. I've been on national news since then the the streaming numbers are extremely high for a historical album. I think album on spotify gets about twenty two thousand ish monthly listeners. Which is incredible. We're at the point where you start putting in your applications and recently i finished the the actual. Cd's the liner notes linked up with historians. I have a lot of different historians that have helped me write the liner notes for the actual physical cds when people. I the cd's the things that comes along with. The cds is a dvd lab. My grandpa has war to film that he brought home of the ban practicing their instruments. And my grandpa doing that and all that out in the pacific. So it's a multi disc release. You get a dvd of the band. You get this vintage cd of historic recordings and you get about twenty pages of liner notes from different historians kind of commenting on all the different things from my grandpa's oral history in a broader sense you get all these things and the album. Artwork was done in that process of getting cd's out finished up in november of two thousand twenty. I hastily put together. This was before. I even before the grammy was even a thought. I hastily put together this album cover on the original which was okay but it was me. It wasn't a professional thing. It was just to get it out for the album's union album cover just to cover for the The digital release thinking be able to go back once. I get rational to do the album. Cover the album. The new album covers finished. And i went over to the distributor and i thought i assumed it would be something really basic. Hey can you can you. You able to pull that old album cover off and just put this one on because this one looks way better in. This is the one i liked and they said well we'd have to cancel your previous album and take it down. And then we put it up or just released. Have a new release date with this album and a deal was made recently with the world war two museum and they're gonna do a test run with the album and the the national one over new orleans. It's on hold right now because her down there so we're going to be in contact in about thirty days. I'm thinking we could get have better odds and more more of a chance with this new release so there's gonna be a new release date of this year with the album with the new release in with the the recordings with the cd. There will be a new official release data. Think i have it for october when philippines campaign started. That'll be the new release date and then our grammy will try and build more momentum and give us a better shot at getting these guys. Grammy will no longer be this award. Show that we're applying boards the next one but that's still very much the goal. That's incredible that is so exciting for you and for your family. The families of all of the musicians are they aware of what you're doing. They are the ones that have contacted and been in contact with some of them. Follow the the band's social media on facebook there they're all very excited and they love to hear that. And i i keep in close contact with them because not only because i want them to know about it but At some point. I need to dig more into the story of those guys because eventually i'll be writing a book on all of the on my grandpa's journey through this and all the other guys in the band. When they've linked up in the philippines. And so i'll be interviewing. All of them were stories and pictures. Piazza's been enjoyed it. Talk about all that stuff with them. In hero stories of my grandpa's wartime buddies in it's it's almost as if when whenever i talked to them and hear their stories. That no my grandpa's closeness to those guys in music they made. It's almost like i'm hearing almost like i inherited extra grandpa's it's feeling to talk to them about that stuff. What a neat thought. And i would think it would make you feel closer to your grandpa to hear their opinion of him and their interactions with him and how much they admired and liked him. Yeah definitely does actually so one of the guy who did a lot of the musical arrangements is was probably his best friend in the group. His name was joe. Milazzo and johm alonzo passed away in the eighties in new york. And i tracked down joma. Lhasa's sister who is in her seventies. now. I can't wait to chat with her and listened to stories about the guy mike grant but would say was probably be his best friend in the group tomasso. It's pretty exciting. And there's also. I'm working on a manuscript for a say probably like thirty page book for a publisher and we're open a book come out along the way to give it even more of a boost and more eyeballs on it so we can possibly have a better turn out hoping for at least a nomination for these guys. I would hope so. It's such a historic thing that Even have the more i dig into. Its own hoping that that minimum. We can at least get a nomination for these guys. Be such an honor. How many brothers and sisters do you have a brother who's maybe about thirteen months older than me. And then i've got to younger sisters. One of whom is a whiz on the piano and actually is the accompaniment at a local high school for a the the choir class in the music last letter their reactions to your project you know. All of my cousins and my aunts and uncles. They love this for a number of reasons. They know how close being grandpa are. They all adore him for the same reasons i do. And it's just brings a smile to all their faces in an excitement to to see people talk a grandpa and his music in. They'll email me in text me when they see something or hear applaud say brightens their day. They all love it. And they're happy that grandpa's music is getting out. There is your dad's still living. My dad's still around. He's a big fan of the project. works median and. I asked him things about pause. Really all my my dad my uncles. I'll ask them things. If i don't know something about poor or something spicy about a grandpa story ago ask them. Or i'll ask uncle who's just retired as a music teacher.

"Just to get his extra practice in because he knew that's what we want to do with his life after the war pretty amazing because when i saw the picture and the caption my first thought was wasn't he afraid of getting captured or getting hurt. Yeah you know. He mentioned that in his he tells portion of that story in in the oral history. Track on the actual cd any munitions as a sixty whatever. It is sixty two when he does that. Nineteen eighty four to six. You know every time he went into the jungle he was scared. He has this one encounter where he goes into the jungle and he starts playing and he hears noises loud noise in a bush nearby and his hand immediately goes for the marine life yet a marine life with him and he felt like his heart was gonna jump out of its chest because he thought oh there we go. Something's going to happen and this beautiful bird. Just flies out of the bush that's indigenous to the philippines in he breathe the sigh of relief and so looking back he was tariff he said he says he was terrified. Going there which couldn't blame him. It's especially in the pacific away. The war was fought there. You didn't know what was gonna happen. Where so i'm surprised. He went out there. But yeah when you're nineteen or twenty. I guess you think the odds are in your favor. Can you share other stories that your grandfather shared on his oral history or or told you. Yeah actually my favorite story is before. He joins his band to go out into the pacific. Actually share this story. I shared at his funeral when i did his eulogy. As one of my favorite stories kind of describes the kind of person my grandpa was he had gone into the army air force over in utah. Signed up in salt lake city was shipped over for basic training and was pulled into the band thereby buddy and got sent to southern california to march field everywhere. My grandpa went. He was the lead trumpet player when he was high ledge as a kid and even into the first year of university before harbor he was used to being leaked trumpet and he gets down to march field. Marshfield is where all the big band musicians are in all the hollywood recording musicians are that have joined. The military guys are all in southern california and all season and talented musicians. So my grandpa arrives down there. And he's not i share anymore. He's not second charity more. He's more like third and fourth. He's at march fuel learning from these professional musicians for a year and he's soaking up all the information from them and learning from them and increasing is playing range and after a year a call came in to march field band headquarters for a trumpet player for newly formed band to go off to the pacific but it was for a trumpet player with a substance rating. My grandpa was a private at. The time he says is the oral history. That all the sergeants in his unit were married. He walked over to the chief worn officers office and asked if he could take the place of the mary so the married men stay behind with his family. He says the war officer Became a little emotional and choked up a little bit and said yes that could be done. If that's your will we can. We can work out for you. And so that's how by ends up in the pacific. He goes take the place of somebody so they could stay behind for their families. That's just the kind of person he was. And that's my favorite story about him. The military. That's really sweet. That really talks to his decision as well about not playing in a symphony but opting to become a music teacher to stay with a family very much so easy was very family oriented guy that was i mean even more than music. Music was his whole life but his family was even more. So and so. That's that's of been his. His thing is whole life and decisions his life or based around. That is probably the best person i've ever met in my life. My grandpa so how many children and grandchildren did he have. My grandpa has four sons. My dad is some number three. got fourteen grandchildren. I wanna say great grand children. While he was alive he had four. But he's got more now so we didn't get some great grandchildren. I can't what a nice legacy are there. Other stories that you would like to share with with us about your granddad doors military. That whole band story is pretty fascinating. Especially if you don't know things about how military band people think military bands earn world war two in the main people that come to mind or the glenn miller's of the world those guys join the military who played really really really big shows back away from the action like in london or paris or put a. There's quite a few bands that were just filled with really talented guys. That were just everyday guys back then and they would play shows that closes up on the front line for guys who were doing the actual sliding one of the first shows they did was on the. They arrived on late in the philippines. The the action was still going on. They had not rehearsed yet as a band but they got organized the on the west coast shipped overseas instead of the first shows. They plays with the uso group. He describes the setting up a a makeshift stage. Hanging lights on blown-up palm trees. And so this. This is the liberal front. That i show is gonna be on. Show up as a musician in your daf is holding Or hanging lights from bona poetry entry. You can i mean you gotta get nervous. I would think i show. They're playing together with the uso group. Doing it old show with think it's a broadway show if i remember right and it was made into a movie called hell's pop so that's the first show. They're doing there in the middle of the show. And hiding breaks off directly behind the stage across the ravine machine-gun via the first real foray entertaining the troops ends up. Being this frontline show. They ended up finishing the show. It's speaks to the composer that these guys had the real professionalism. They added service members and and dedication to what their role is in the war. All those guys the best part of the war. My grandpa was being able to play music. And give those guys on the front line. We're doing the actual fighting arrested in a little break mentally and give them a taste home while they were thousands of miles away from home and he lived that that was. That was the best part of the war. Fame was playing music for others. That story really sticks out to me of them but all those guys in that band aid they did such incredible music. If you listen to the album. It's just astonishing to think of how they recorded in the middle in the middle of a war and attempts. How did they record. So they're a frontline show and people think about Glenn miller glenn miller had plenty of recording access around him. Because he's glenn miller and so there's recordings of glenn miller and his band and because they were back from the front lines and they could play in a studio if they wanted to or broadcast on the radio but these guys are in a junk wall in the middle delware. Play for guys who were on the front line sometimes on the front lines. Equipment is definitely an issue and while i researched this. This is kind of how i discovered it. It's such a rare thing because these are big name guys and they don't have the equipment. They basically have their instruments at microphones. And unless they were just doing shows like that on the front lines by the time they get to manila and fort. Mckinley the The far east. Eric headquarters far east air force headquarters. Which is it's a big deal. There's there's generals there there's guys who rub elbows with macarthur there and so it's kind of a big deal where they are at one point before they're coming home. A special services unit comes through who happened to have a wire recorder. It was decided by the chief warrant officer the big the ban that they wanted to record themselves before they go home just for fun just because they enjoy playing with each other and they've been through so much they talked to these two guys in that special services union. This yeah go ahead use the the wire recorder in so they set this thing up and my grandpa has this story written down in the asleep that holds the records about the equipment. They use in some of the reasons. I think it sounds pretty good for what they had. But some of the some of the reasons it might not sound as as high quality as if you were in a studio like the microphone. They add was made only for a a singer. And so it's picking up all the sounds of all the instruments any rates that it's it's too much for that microphone while you can still make out all the sound. The way that worked is a set this microphone up on the post inside their performance tent and the wire recorder ran from the microphone across the compound to another ten where these special service guys had their wire recorder in hip record they just played and it was just an afternoon session. They played some of their typical songs. They some of the band members arranged the they're all occupied big bands songs. But they're special arrangements done by guys in the band. so it's their version of the songs. They played in their filipinos. They're the flags were up and it was just a casual thing that they did You can even tell some of the tracks on produce so after trump rhapsody on the track and moves onto the song prieto inbetween. I don't know if there's a false start. I wish i could make the words out better but you can hear them in the background talking. The music stops. You can hear the chief worn officer. Who's the conductor. you can hear him talking giving.

"Miller vaughn monroe dizzy. Gillespie tommy dorsey artie. Shaw count basie duke. Ellington louis armstrong come to mind. Lost among those sounds are the world war two bands that went to war. Many of those five hundred military bands accompanied combat units and performed concerts close to the front lines. The seven hundred forty six far east army air force bayan performed in the philippines after japan surrendered and the soldiers were preparing to head home. They had the opportunity to record in their tent in the jungles outside of manila an afternoon performance of original arrangements of popular jazz tunes thus creating the only known album by a frontline band unit. Our guest today is historian. Jason burt grandson of corporal richard. Burt the band's lead trumpeter. The younger birt has worked with grammy. Winning sound engineers to re master and digitize the band's nineteen forty-five performance. His goal is to honor all who served in world war two as he strives to secure a best historical album. Grammy in twenty twenty two. It is my honor to welcome. Jason bert to the adventures with grammy podcasts. Start by telling our listeners. What your project is and why this is so important to you. And i'm a historian and middle school history teacher over in sacramento california area. My project that i've been working on for a little over a year now is a world war. A rare world war two recording of a frontline van unit that recorded an album essentially of popular big band songs in nineteen forty-five outside of manila in their tent. This project is important to me because the lead trump the player in the man who brought those recordings home happened to be my grandpa corp. richard. Burt of the us army air force. When did you know that these recordings exist our whole lives. We kind of knew these existed. My family my my aunts uncles. My cousins my siblings. We all kind of knew these existed. The last time that he pulled them out would have been when i was really little like nineteen eighty six in one thousand nine hundred sixty recorded an oral history of his time with the military and being a musician in the military about bannon even mentions how these recordings were made on that that oral history which is also on the album so we knew about him and in those early recordings in eighty in nineteen eighty six. He put two songs just to pass along for posterity. I guess you could say for us to have and listened to got older and techno about his time in the military. He put moonlight in vermont and trumpet. Rhapsody on there. Because he was the. He's lead trumpet player. So he was the featured soloist. I guess that's why he picked those two. He tucked them away. Nineteen eighty and never brought them out again but we knew they existed. And i guess they had faded away from his memory as he got a little bit older. I think i was about eighteen or nineteen. He admitted cd and gave it to me. And i got to listen to those recordings for the first time. I can remember it being about twenty years old beheaded like it in my car going down the road and act so they had to pull over because the sounds. He was making out of his trumpet. Were just extraordinary just to hear him like that. I had heard him playing the trumpet. My whole life growing up it just becomes background. Noise kid has pufang trumpet. But he's much older. When i was younger listening to play down all it was just something else to hear him. Sound a young seta lungs while he was in this army air span of time i was a world war two buff at just out of high school. Also an incredible trumpet player. The the recordings were pretty much existence that we knew about them and they just weren't something that he brought out and then he passed away in twenty sixteen in my grandma twenty nineteen so in twenty nineteen. We cleared up the house and came across the records and that was pretty much the started coverted and things starting to the shutdown and having spare time from school. Add to figure out what we're going to do with these records prem- was the start of this whole thing. Fine this whole thing. What is your project. now it's kind of bald so it started off as i had these records and they're sitting my closet. I found myself look time but not a phonograph record player to play them and i have a co worker. Who who's kind of a vinyl junkie and He had given me his record player to testament if they work one day during cova My wins went off to somewhere with my wife. And i kinda sat down. Put the records on just to see if they worked in they worked and they sounded pretty amazing for being seventy five year old records. That were made in a in the jungle of the philippines and so I set off to research. How rare was whether this was a pretty commonplace item to have from from the war. And i contacted the world war two museum in new orleans and other here's oriented and other music jazz music experts and pretty much. Everyone came back with no. I've never heard of anything like this in existence. That kind of got the ball rolling in my head to well. What if we could do something for these guys. I mean my grandpa. He was a music teacher is alive but he. He was extraordinarily talented and he kind of gave up. He had a crossroads in his life after his time juilliard to where he started having a family and he was with the moines symphony or destroyed and came into this kind of like well. If i go the professional route will have much time with my family. And he had this choice to make and so he chose his family and allows guys in the band. Were like that. I've reached served in met up with a lot of family members that they work professional musicians after the war but music was a part of their life that they did whether they became music shop or or music teachers or any very few when professional. This was something i could do for them to try and give them that professional musician experience and draw attention to their role in the war. Hear much about the military bands and what their role was world war two so i kind of wanted to shed on. That are any of the band members still living so so far. I haven't come across any known members that were living. I was very close. But i started this project. Researching some of the band members and going through ancestry dot com and type thing in different things in google searches and there was one that passed away in twenty nineteen. I think i missed like four months. Just been talking with me. Members of past them numbers that i know about and getting their stories through them. That's an incredible project. It must make you feel really good to honor your granddad like this. It's pretty amazing. I i love doing this for him. Me grandma really close growing up. I call us polar opposites because every everyone in my family was very musical growing up they can. There are at least four to start instrument at least read music. I'm kind of black sheep with family Everyone assumed i was okay with my basketball on the basketball court. I never picked up in is durant. I never read any music. I can't read music to this day. So grandpa when. I always really close because we live down the street from each other and i loved his stories. And we're both big on history and i loved hearing his world war two stories. We're incredibly close for not having similar interests other than history. I was never going to be able to do anything musically to move his legacy forward in in my own rights. Doing something like this. That's histories in my wheel out. So that was something that i could do for him musically to kind of puts his legacy forward. You posted a picture of your grandfather playing his trumpet outside of.

"Children or grandchildren are experimenting or are addicted to illegal drugs while the first thing to do is learn the warning signs i have warning signs for alcohol use. I have warning signs for marijuana use. I have warning signs for a child that might be developing eating disorder. I have warning signs for a child that might be harming themselves so the first thing to do is learn about the warning signs so that you know what to look for is general rural What i recommend to parents and grandparents pay attention to the changes that you see in your child. You know the child better than anyone. So pay attention to these changes that you see in your child. Don't don't assume that the changes are the behavior that you're seeing is just normal adolescent acting out it may very well be that but it also may be an indicator that there's something else going on under the surface and the more of these changes that you see in the length of these changes Should be a red flag that there might be something going on. Some examples would be a child who used to be making very good grades and now the grades are declining. A child who was very social and outgoing now becomes very quiet and secretive. A child who used to enjoy playing sports now no longer wants to participate in. Sports are a child who was very open about who their friends were introduced you to their friends. You may have even known their fam- friends family now becomes very secretive of who their friends are paying attention to these changes that you see in your child and pay attention to the number of changes that you see how long these changes last. If you see a change in it lasts for a day or two okay that might just be some some particular event that happened but if these changes tend to linger on in on or become more extensive or more severe. Those should be red flags that indicate to you okay. There's something that needs to be done. So now what do you do if you see these warning signs and you become a concerned. The first thing you should do is have a discussion with your child. Talk to them about what your concerns are. That's likely to go. One of two ways child will either become argumentative and defensive or the child may actually share some information with you that you didn't know but regardless of how that conversation goes. The next step is to get the comprehensive assessments. That i talk about in my book so that you get a complete picture from professionals about what's going on and if if there's a diagnosis and a treatment plan you have the benefit of knowing that too and how would one go about finding a professional where we'd be a good resource. You can start with your primary care physician. If you have won many times they can make referrals to addictions counselors are psychologists. That can do most of these testing. You can talk to the school counselor many times. The school counselor can refer you to an addictions counselor like my south. Who can do the addictions part of it. They can refer you to a psychologist That specializes in adolescence. That can do the psychological or the neuropsychological testing. So i would begin with my family physician and my school counselor and then you can always contact your local mental health association. The national institute for mental health nami many times they have referrals that they can make and they can also provide some good resources for you as a parent and for your family so there are resources out there and there are people that can help direct you to those resources. I encourage parents and grandparents to not wait if they suspect. There's a problem. Because i have worked with families who had to wait months to have neuro narrow psychic sam performed for their children. So it's not something. That's going to be a quick overnight diagnosis. That's a good point. Delaying is is never a good option delaying getting any type of assessment or test is not something that you want to do so the minute that you suspect. There's an issue and you become concerned. That's the time to move forward with starting the process of getting the assessments. Done getting the diagnosis done and then working to put together a treatment plan for your child. The sooner you begin that the sooner that recovery journey can begin. I would appreciate your telling our listeners again. The name of your book where they can find it. And how can they get a hold of. The book is titled the addicted child. A parents guide to adolescent substance abuse. There's apparent workbook that accompanies. It both are available on amazon and you can also visit the books website which is. Www help the addicted child dot com. That's www dot helped. The addicted child dot com on that website. You will find endorsements. You'll find book reviews. You'll find a sample chapter. You can read a little bit about both book and the parent workbook. And there's a link that will take you directly to amazon where you can purchase the book.

The reason why we develop a fever is the body's immune system recognizes that there some kind of germ ordinarily now not talking about extreme cases of you know weird things causing fever but just for your average typical child who starts running a fever. The basic start this so the body the immune system recognizes that. There's a foreign germ in the body. Most of the time. That's going to be a virus infection now. Sometimes it can be a bacterial infection or some other kind of organism that can cause the infection but for the most part most children when they run fever. It's because they either have a virus or bacteria and maybe on another podcast. When we get together we can talk about the different's between victory ses and bacteria because there's a big difference but the body recognizes this foreign entity in. It says you know you're not supposed to be here. And because Childhood we get introduced to these viruses and germs and foreign entities. Immune system knows that one of the biggest ways to kill a virus. Or another germ is to elevate the body's temperature because viruses in particular cannot live in the presence of heat exp- especially extreme heat to the body.

It's fun for the kids because then it will bring the ball around and they pick that one up and then it's you know four before what were or her. You know whatever whatever the number and then you can talk to the little kids to the younger ones. Can larry the numbers and how columns and rows work and you know then of course turn on some music and starts singing bingo. Bi ngo. ingo was his name. O at the fun idea. I love incorporating learning with fun. I think that is just so cool. When lincoln slip that in and they don't realize it and that's where i feel like my an teaching i taught second grade and kindergarten and definitely comes into play. I want them to be learning. And that's like back to the treat bags as i put their birth dates on it. You know they have to figure out who's bag is. Who's by the birth date or by their initials. They're seeing that. Reagan d win is our w so. She's recognizing that and then doing again like how old they are with like if she's five do five flowers on the bag is so anyway. Yeah i'm all about having fun and learning at the same time. And that's one of the things i like about your post. Is that you show grandparents. How do that so it's not only having fun but it's having fun and learning at the same time yes definitely the talk about how your grandchildren interact with each other. So you have nineteen grandchildren of wide range of ages. How do you encourage them to interact or does it just happen. Naturally because the richards grandchildren and my grandchildren. We were married almost seven years ago at the ones that are younger kind of know each other because they've grown up with each other. The older ones the oldest eight really. Just call me choline which is fine. And i'm their friends and we have a great relationship in. They have a great bond there. Nanna jan was wonderful and having them together in creating those friendships one of the ways that we also have opportunity to have the grandkids. Interactive's will do grandma's camp and this past summer. I had my granddaughter reagan and richards. Granddaughter willow. They came for their five year old grandma's camp and they created such bond having those three days that we got to do activities together which also gives me a chance to have more one on one because there are so many of us when we get together. I don't always get to have that quality time with the grand kids and so we did three days together where we did different activities and crafts. We cap a journal and had absolutely wonderful wonderful time so the grandmas camps definitely help..

"On their bags. I write their name or their initials or their birth dates. Or how old they are. So they're seeing those things on the bags but they also know these treat bags from grandma and my oldest daughter will actually tuck them away and save them for a time where she needs those bags to change the mood in the house or give the kids that you know something exciting to to open and do so. The treat bags had become something. There have been fun for me and for them. Just another fun idea. And i see on your instagram page. You also have giveaways so tell me about how that started. We first started. We were doing a good grandma approved product so there have been different products that we've grooved in. We have come across. That we have found. That are are awesome. The swigs That stick to the tables and have a pop sound or use them in the bathtub or lots of fun. The magnetic building blocks at tiles that you can use is another good grandma product and these are things that i have in my own home. Not just things that they would have that we would give them that they have in their home but to have them here when they come to play at grandma's house there are fun things for them to do so as we do. Good grandma approved products also will do a giveaway so then the subscribers to our website Their names would go into drawing and they would get a amazon gift card to purchase that particular item to have in their own home. We also have a few good grandma products. We have our grandma aprons and we have a good brag clip that you can hang on your fridge and when you get an art picture from grandchild you can put it there to brag or a picture of them we also have what we call a glad pad. It's several different games in the note pad that are repeated several times so you have a amaze picture search and find out of folded paper airplane adot game to Hangman all sorts of games in there that you can purchase. You can purchase any of these. The good grandma apron. Glad pad the bragged clip. We've also given those away by when we do our monthly giveaways and the glad pads have definitely been a hit with my own grandkids as well as children. I might meet in the store. I was at costco in.

"I mean they have Exhibitions that change but they have a large permanent collection and these are artists that avail established. You know other than history has declared the monsters in remarks pizzas. And you know you. You have to like them right. You're like okay. How can i say van. Goi not gordo rembrandt. Good you kind of. Don't get to exercise your own judgment as much and i think so much baggage. Also that comes good and bad back that comes with a lot of these artworks but with contemporary art. I feel like you know who knows. In twenty as the this address might be in oblivion. I am free to choose or decide what i think this artwork were there like it or i don't i also find it very interesting. What contemporary artists are doing with art. Right pushing the boundaries. I'm just short away. I how like for instance. Technology is being incorporated the kind of concepts and i find conceptual art really really something that i feel i literally feel like my mind expands if i come across something that i liked ideas you know. It's not just and gandhi's anymore but there's value in an idea. I just enjoy seeing the the boundaries of art being pushed so i think that's why i really like the short. I think it's a leader. When it comes to condemn pretty and they'll also be representative. I feel like compared to some other museums Have fallen This debate about how museums are they need to be more intrusive. And they need to be more diverse. And i think the her. Sean does a good job of that. But i actually like i get exposed to like a wider range of artists in artworks.
