The Hair Radio Show with Kerry Hines
The Hair Radio Morning Show Welcomes DJ Prince Hakim!
"Now I have a very special guest with us today. He's from the world of music. We'll say he's royalty. The DJ Prince Hakeem. Good morning to you. Welcome to the show. Hey, good morning. Thank you. Welcome. Thanks for having me. Yes. Yes, it's my pleasure. I want to kind of jump right on in. Let's just tell all the fans of the Hair Radio Morning Show. Now you are really music royalty. Tell us why. Okay. Appreciate that. Yeah, I guess because my dad and uncle are Robin and Ronald Bell of the band Cool and the Gang and they co -founded the band and they're legendary and I'm a part of that lineage. So, you know, I guess that makes me royalty, right? It makes you music royalty. And I just love how you just casually just drop that on in. Oh, yes, that's my dad, my uncle. I think awesome. First of all, we have to Cool say and the Gang has been a huge part of our history in this community and music and, you know, just doing they really set the bar very high. They're one of the most popular crossover acts of all time. If you want to even call them crossover acts, I mean crossover acts. They were just out there doing many big things for years and just even to say their name, their music plays in my head, literally, I kid you not. So it's just awesome. And then to know that you have that true lineage being the son of Robert Bell, right? Robert Cool Bell. So, you know, and we're going to get to all of your amazing music and what you're doing these days, but let me ask you because the fans want to know how was growing up with that, that famous in the famous family like that? Oh, it's just, oh, it's, you know, it's normal to me. That's right. You don't know anything anything, anything else. I don't know anything else. That's what that's like any other parent. That's what God intended. That's my destiny. You know, it's so it's just normal to me. But I understand what you mean. And I get that question a lot. So obviously, if you come from a successful family in any job or business or what your parents may be successful in, you're going to have the door will be open for you to go to the Grammy Awards or backstage concerts, you know, celebrities or your favorite artists and stuff, you know, so if your parents adopt or, you know, you might go to all the cool doctors events or lawyer events and you get perks as a kid, you know, and and that that's, you know, as you get older, you realize that as I say, wow, that's pretty cool. You know, I met Michael Jackson. I was like 15. Really? What was that like? What was that? It was bananas. And I look back now, but then it was just like, oh, wow. You know, and now I'm like, what? Michael Jackson was in his suite with Quincy Jones. So we win it. My dad would just hang out after he finished tearing down Madison Square Garden. Wow. You know, bananas, bananas. Well, I saw some pictures of you, D .J. Prince, our team. I saw some pictures of you with President Clinton. I saw some some photos out there with you and all of these amazing celebrities. So, yes, I take it there were some good there were some good perks, but you're doing some amazing things in your own right. So I kind of want to talk about that. Let's move on over to that now. OK, let's start with your music. What? First of all, what you know, what? OK, I can figure out kind of like what might have led you into music, but let's have you tell it. How did you get into music through, you know, through what you're doing? How did you we know why you were introduced, but let's let you tell it. Well. So. I think the first thing I kind of remember was being. Put into my mom's fashion show or talent show, I could say. Breakdancing in her talent show. I see some pictures now when I was like eight or five years old and I'm playing the drums of singing with my brother and my parents and we're all having a jam session and. And I don't remember that I didn't see these pictures, so that's early as a kid, since your parents are entertainers and ones into fashion. You're just going to. You know, they're going to put the children in it, too. Yes. You know, well, you're just going to adapt to it, absorb it up so much, and you're going to become a sponge or you're going to run away from it. I became a sponge.

February 11th, the three surviving members of the Beatles secretly reunite to begin recording additional music for a few of John Lennon's old, unfinished demos presented to Paul McCartney by Yoko Ono, with Jeff Lynn of course producing. The track Free as a Bird is released as a single in late 1995 as part of an exhaustive Beatles anthology project, reaching number two in the UK and number six in the US. Those, that was a good thing. Anthology was great. Yeah, yes it was. So many cool takes of stuff. Let's see. Best version of O'Bloody, O'Blooda, I think. I think that should have been on the album. The right album is the other one they did. I'm starting to get the meat sweats gentlemen. Turn down the temperature in the studio. It's down to 65 and I'm still starting to... For the audience, before the show, I went out to dinner with the beautiful Dr. Veron and I went to this Brazilian radigio and it's endless meat, pecan, beef rib, all sorts of stuff and I ate probably about a pound and a half of meat with mashed potatoes and cheese bread and fried banana and then finished it off with they have this papaya cream. Oh my God. And I'm just like I'm starting to sweat. You got cement in you right now. It's just cement. It's sitting. It's just sitting. Like a giant pound and a half ball of meat. You know those old stock footages of the old construction trucks just dumping cement? That's what I'm thinking right now. Right down the gullet. So I'm starting to get the meat sweats. Because I got home at like a half hour before the podcast. Gonna be a wacky show. Don't start burping.

It's just another fucking Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. And Bruce Willis wasn't there? One of the most overrated restaurants in the history of America is the fucking Hard Rock Cafe. The food is just junk. You're not missing anything. It's memorabilia that you could see on eBay. Do a virtual tour online. It's just as good. Because you can't touch the shit. So what's the difference? Behind glass or behind a computer screen? Doesn't fucking matter. Just doesn't matter.

Good one Lou. He's on his game. Because 1994 was a good year Todd. Yeah Todd. Todd. Todd. With one D by the way. I have a brother Todd and he's got two Ds. Most normal Todds have two Ds. You see it right there on the screen. One D. Todd. One D. Sockman. Did he sell a consonant? Let me see. Karen Hurley. I love Karen Hurley. She's my buddy. She's my buddy's wife and I love Karen. She says how does Jim, who's like my brother, know the name of your show? He's probably heard me talk about it more than a few times. Well we have to start the show over. Somebody asked us to. No Dean. That's what you know. You got the alert. Come on buddy. No. He's treating this like it's the King of Facebook show. Well it never really gets off the ground. It's really no beginning no end. It just is. Coming back soon by the way. The King of Facebook livestream I think I'm going to be doing my first show back in a while. It's an out of control livestream. It's really just idiocy and stupidness and I think someone dared me to put a Whopper and a Big Mac together and eat it as one big. Yeah will this be on an early Sunday morning? No no. Coffee with the King is Sunday morning. It's very mellow. That's a tame. No the King of Facebook show is way over the top. It really has no rhyme or reason to it. But yeah I guess I'll be eating, since my blood work is perfect I'll be eating a McWhopper. A Big Mac Whopper. A big McWhopper. At least there's no filet of fish in the middle of that. Also I'll have to do is request it and I guess I'll have to do it. That would be a good idea. Maybe he should put a filet of fish in it. He did. Didn't he do that? I did that with the cheeseburger. The cheeseburger. Yeah. Okay. Anyways. Anyway as Jack would always say, it's not anyway. Selena on March 1st 94 Selena becomes the first Tejano music singer to win a Grammy. That was one hot woman. Selena was a good looking girl. God bless her. God bless her. She was a nice kid who ran into a raving lunatic unfortunately. On March 1st also Dave Phillips says Madonna was big in 94. Okay. Okay. This is true. Thanks. Wow. That's a fucking epiphany. Holy shit Dave Phillips. I'm going to just give him the title of contributor to the show. Madonna was big in 94. Really? She was big in 84 too. I'm going to see what you release that year. Let's see. March 1st 1994 Nirvana plays their final concert in Munich. We know why. What was that? March. March. March. I'm trying to not do that but it just comes up. Let's see on March 1st 1994 the 36th annual Grammy Awards are presented in New York hosted by Gary Shanley. Gary Shanley had one of the funniest stand ups I've ever seen in my life and he didn't swear once. And it was one of the funniest fucking stand ups. It came out around 86. It was so funny. And he just never swore once. Didn't have to. So let's see hosted by Gary Shanley performing the soundtrack from the 92 film The Bodyguard. So this is 94. But the soundtrack from the 1992 film The Bodyguard wins album of the year. Monster album. While its lead single Whitney Houston's cover of I Will Always Love You wins record of the year. The single version of A Whole New World performed by Peeble Bryson and Regina Bell wins song of the year. Tony Braxton, another 90's hardy wins best new artist. All of this is the infamous Frank Sinatra incident. You know what I'm referencing? Frank Sinatra receives the Grammy Legend Award. Sinatra's acceptance speech is cut short. They sent him to commercial while he was still talking. Other artists criticized the producer's decision during the show and Billy Joel takes extra time to perform his song The River of Dreams noting that he is wasting valuable air time. Wow. They disrespected Frank Sinatra. He had somebody killed over that. Someone died over that. What the fuck? It's always the young generation that's like eh. Cut him. Cut him. Huge mistake on their part. Because there was huge blow back. If there was social media back then that show would have got destroyed. It would have been. He only died a couple years after that. Yeah. But Billy Joel good for him. He's like he knows they're not going to cut him off. Right? Because he's big. Frank was over the hill. He'd done his time. And so he decides to burn their time because they were trying to save precious air time. And you know Billy Joel is probably a huge Sinatra fan. As you should be. As you should be. That's right. I have Sinatra Sundays here at the Casa McVera Sunday morning. Oh very cool. I have a picture of my father with his parents. Oh really? Yeah my dad had a nightclub so I guess they were there one night. But Frank was not there. Yeah well. He was off being famous. I guess that's six degrees of separation right there. I guess so yeah. On March 3rd 1994 in Rome, Nirvana's Kurt Cobain collapses into a coma after overdosing on Ropanol and Champagne. And what? Ropanol. R-O-H-Y-P-N-O-L. Ropanol. What the hell does that do? Does it prevent? Let me see. Benzodiazepine. It's Benzodiazepine. Look at me. I'm married to Dr. Vera. Benzodiazepine used to treat severe insomnia and assists with anesthesia. As with other hypnotics has been advised to be prescribed only for short term use by those with chronic insomnia. He mixed that with Champagne and it equals a coma. Champagne. I had a bad experience. Worst hangover I ever had in my life was Champagne. Me too. I drank a bottle of it. I was like 14. I can do it. I was 16. Almost killed me. Let's see. Let's not get into these stories. That's another podcast. Lots of those stories. March 5th 1994 Grace Slick is arrested for pointing a shotgun at police in her Tibberoon California home. March 7th 1994 the United States Supreme Court I could just see her with her face going get away you fuckers. An old hippie. Hey I'm an old hippie. Peace love dove and shotguns. David Crosby. March 7th 1994 the United States Supreme Court decision Campbell vs Acuff Rose Music Inc rules that parody can qualify as fair use. The case was spurred by two live crew releasing a parody of the Roy Orbison hit Oh Pretty Woman I remember that. Without a license from the publishing firm Acuff Rose Music. Acuff. Roy Acuff he was the guy that I think he roped Hank Williams out of money too. I think that's something. And that decision probably saved a weird Yankovic's career. March 8th 1994 Nine Inch Nails released the second studio album The Downward Smile. Great. Loved that album. It would go on to sell 3 million copies and be credited with helping bring industrial rock music into the mainstream. I wanna do you like an animal? You just bleeped yourself. I just bleeped. I don't want to be that crude. Nah you never crude. There's women watching. There's women. I have respect. I got a crew here on an album title. It's a band name. I don't know if you've ever heard of it. It's terrible. Let's see. March 13th 1994 Selena releases her final Spanish album Amor. I'm gonna butcher this. Pro Habido. Pro Habido. I got it. It's production has been delayed because of the launch of Selena's fashion clothing line and boutiques and her Selena Live Tour in support of Live. March 18th Courtney Love calls the police fearing that her husband Nirvana's Kurt Cobain is suicidal. Police confiscate four guns and I don't have a gun. Fucking liar. And I don't have a gun.

Which to some of my friends is like that's just in there like Shudra that's Sockdra. I got some friends. That's nothing you're saying. But I know where I'm going during the apocalypse. And then there's people that say you know that is the whole thing when a rock star dies no he was killed. There's all the people that does have all these theories. Yep. Ah let me see. Basis Darryl Jones replaces who? Bill Wyman. That's right. Great basis. Ah let's see.

The record breaking tour supports their Division Bell album with the band playing to five million five hundred thousand people in 68 cities engrossing one hundred and eighty six million nine hundred and fifty two thousand five hundred dollars. They could have toured for ten years and made that money every year if they wanted to. Yeah. That's an album with Roger Waters? No. No. Well that's the first one with that. Pink Floyd broke up after the album after well Final Cut. I'm sorry. I had to say that. I had to say that. Division Bell was a great album. It really was. Did it have learning to fly on it? No that was a momentary lapse of reason. Which I used that term a lot when I was a union steward. I was a union steward like federal level for like 18 years and every time someone would get in trouble and I would have to bring they'd have to get called up in front of the man and you know maybe a chief or two and I'd always say people you have to understand this young officer just suffered from a momentary lapse of reason. That's awesome.

Welcome to Convo Over Cigars. I'm your host, Derrick Andre Flemming. Man, I'm listening to these three backup dancers talk about Lizzo and what happened while they were dancers on her special tour. And I've spoken in the past on my, me being a huge fan of Lizzo, I am. I've always said that. I think that her rants about body positivity and loving oneself despite your size or your weight were spot on. But these recent allegations against the 35 -year -old four -time Grammy -winning singer are quite disturbing. Like I said, I've always been a huge Lizzo fan, so this is a little bit surprising, some of the things that I'm hearing, and we'll talk about it. The About Damn Time singer has been accused of creating a hostile work environment and sexual harassment by three of her former backup dancers. The lawsuit filed by the dancers also alleged misconduct by her production company, Big Girl Big Touring Incorporated, and her dance team captain, a woman by the name of Shirlene Quigley. Among the claims included in the suit is that Lizzo pressured dancers into unwanted sexual situations, put dancers through grueling and impromptu dance rehearsals, and made extremely insensitive comments about a dancer's weight gain. Now Lizzo pushed back against these allegations claiming that they are as unbelievable as they sound, and too outrageous not to be addressed. She has also hired Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer, this is an attorney who previously worked with Jonah Hill, Kim Kardashian, and Chris Brown. This is who Lizzo has hired to represent her. Now the dancers claim in the lawsuit that touring with the Grammy winner meant working in an overtly sexual atmosphere that subjected them to harassment. While working on Lizzo's tour, these dancers were exposed to outings where nudity and sexuality were a focal point. This was according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by NBC News. The defendants include Lizzo, whose full name is Melissa Jefferson, her touring company, and tour dance captain. Now one disturbing claim is that while at a nightclub in Amsterdam, Lizzo invited performers to touch nude performers and handle dildos and bananas used in their performances. Out of fear of retaliation, a dancer eventually acquiesced to touching the breast of a nude performer, despite repeatedly expressing an interest in not doing so. I believe the allegations against Lizzo. I do. To just be honest, that's my first gut reaction. This is all true. I don't think people would make up those types of things. I think it's too elaborate, their description of what actually took place. However, I also see a money grab. I feel like these young women are being coached as I watch them coyously being interviewed by the different news outlets. This is a big story. They seem as if they've been told exactly what to say, and their accounts of what actually happened were a little adjusted by attorneys and legal folks. I that believe Lizzo actually did these things, I do. But I think they also knew what they signed up for and actually enjoyed reaping the rewards of being on tour with Lizzo. However, after they were fired, all of these people, these three dancers were all fired. Now they want to spill the beans. It's like when you sign up for something and you know some of the things that are going on are a little bit crazy and unorthodox, but you're on tour with Lizzo. You're making money, you're dancing, you're getting to travel for basically free, you're getting free meals. So they enjoyed it until they got fired. And then once they got fired, they're like, we're just going to tell how bad of a person she actually really is. So I'm calling BS on a lot of this Lizzo shame, a lot of this coming against the Grammy Award winning singer. I've always supported Lizzo. I think her stance against fat shaming and body positivity has been a remarkable one. So I'm calling BS on these dancers basically suing her. I believe it. I believe a lot of what happened. And it is a little bit shocking that she would do some of these things that it makes her sound like she's an over sexualized person who enjoys, you know, kind of like perverted sexual things, you know, especially on her tours. But I think these people kind of knew what was going on. And I'm seeing it puts me in the mind frame of the R. Kelly thing all over again. You never really know who these people are. Lizzo is a huge celebrity. But do you actually really know these people and their private lives? So this is not overly shocking, but I'm kind of calling BS on their lawsuit. We're going to wait and see what transpires with this trending story. You guys have been locked into another edition of Convo Over Cigars. I'm your host, Derrick Andre Flemming. Everybody have a fantastic weekend. Take care.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Ricky Skaggs (Encore)
"Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show with your host, Eric Metaxas. Sometimes you have the privilege of having a guest on the program who really is what we call a legend. And I never would say this if he were here because I wouldn't want to embarrass him, but the person that I'm going to interview in a couple of seconds, some of you know all about him. If you don't, you will very soon. His name is Ricky Skaggs. He is a legend in the music industry. He has 15 Grammy Awards in 1982. He was the youngest member ever at that time to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. When he was six years old, the father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe, picked this six -year -old out and said, would you play for us? He went on to become a seven -year -old playing with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. There's videotape of it. In 1971, when he was still extremely young, teenager, went off to play with Ralph Stanley in his band. By about 1980, country legend Chet Atkins credited him, my guest Ricky Skaggs, with saving country music. Have you heard enough? He has played, performed, produced with Barry Gibb. Emmylou Harris in the 70s produced Dolly Parton, worked with Bruce Hornsby in the Amana Radar range. In 2021, the President of the United States gave him the National Medal of Arts. Again, I wouldn't say this if he was here in the studio, but he is a legend. And I'm very embarrassed to say I think he's right here in the studio. I never would have said this, Ricky, if I knew you were sitting here. Ricky, my new friend, welcome. It's great to be here, Eric. I was sitting there listening to you make all these nice things, and we could be talking about all kinds of other things. So anyway, I appreciate it, and you're a man of honor. I made a lot of this stuff up. I just want my audience to know this couldn't be true. So I'll have to live up to the things that you said. When you were six years old, now, you know, you're in your late 60s now. So when you were six years old, which would put us back about 1960, you played with Bill Monroe. That is very hard to comprehend. I know my dad bought me a mandolin when I was five. And so I learned, you know, why do you do that? I had been singing in church with him and mom since I was like three years old. And this is in old Kentucky. In Kentucky, and we would sing songs together at home. And then when we go to church, we'd get up and they would set me, literally set me on the pulpit, and I would sing harmony with mom and dad. They would set you on the pulpit. Yeah. See, up here, we'd say, put you up on the pulpit. But down there, they would set you on the pulpit. That sounds better. That sounds more American. But you, the reason I'm saying this is you obviously at that time already had a gift for harmonizing. You could hear and sing. And so they knew that they needed to encourage you. So your dad at age five gets you a mandolin. And already at age six, Bill Monroe is taking notice of you. Well, mom and dad and I would play at church, like I said. And then dad and I would go to this little local grocery store there in Blaine, Kentucky, and they would set me up on the pop case, you know, that had that. So it wasn't a pulpit. It was the pop case. That's the marketplace version. Right. Yeah. So I was getting I was getting my teeth ready for the marketplace back then. But I would sit and play and sing and people would want to get a Coke. So I'd have to scoot over and they, you know, it was a double door. And look, you were so cute. I saw the video of you I saw with flat and scrubs, which people can look up on YouTube. But I mean, you were so darn cute at age seven. And when he says, what's your name? You say, Ricky Skaggs. It's so cute. It's unbelievably cute. But even cuter is the song you sing. Because for a seven year old to sing a song about a broken heart and a woman who left me is funny. Yeah, I didn't understand those things back then. I just liked the song and the song was Ruby. Are you mad at your man? Ruby. Oh, Ruby. I mean, to hear you mad at your man and the 70 year old singing it while he's playing. And that's what I sung with the Bill Monroe thing. You know, it was a hit. Are you mad at your man? You know, the neighbors in the hood at this little high school for Bill Monroe was playing. And you know, they started shouting out after half hour, Mr. Monroe's set. They started shouting out, let little Ricky Skaggs get up and sing, you know. And my dad didn't plant these people, I promise you, you know. And anyway, I didn't even take a mandolin with me. So the irony of the whole thing is that I had to play this size mandolin. You had to play. I had to play his mandolin. You played Bill Monroe's mandolin when you were six years old? Six years old. And I, you know. Not many people can say that. He took the strap around and, you know, wrapped it around the curl here so that it would fit me. Right. Set it on me. And I said, you know, they said, what do you want to do? And I said, Ruby. And so it was a popular song by the Osborne brothers, Bob and Sonny Osborne. And so away we went, you know, and you know, no mistakes, no, you know, I didn't flip out, didn't faint or anything, fall on the floor, didn't drop his mandolin. Well, you were too young to be self -conscious, probably. Yeah, I didn't know what that was, you know. If you were 11, you would have just freaked out. I probably would have. But he sent me back off stage and then did his big famous Mule Skinner Blues just to rat me, show me up. No, I don't know that for sure. But I just, you know, the crazy thing about that is when I became a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, they wanted me to take out of the, they got some, some instruments in a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum called the Precious Jewels. They have Earl Scruggs' banjo. They have Maybelle Carter's famous archtop. What? They still have that? Yeah. They have Bill Monroe's F5 mandolin in the case, so they took it out for me. Do they have Mother Maybelle's tortoiseshell combs? Maybe. I'm just kidding. But I mean, who knew that? Unless you're sitting here, I wouldn't know that they would have these objects. These are like sacred relics. But they let me play that same mandolin that I played when I was six years old. He kept that mandolin all his life. He got it in 1945, found it in a barber shop in Miami, Florida. Of all places, you know, to be in Miami, Florida, walking the streets, just out walking around, and happened to look in a barber shop with thousands of barber shops in Miami, Florida. So Bill Monroe found it in 1945. And went in and bought it for $200. And used it for the 15 years until he met you. Then he lets you play it. He keeps playing it, and today it still exists. Yeah, it does. And was busted up, and still, you know, Gibson put it back together meticulously. But it's amazing. And it just brought back so many memories. It almost closed a door, or closed a season of my life, you know, to play that mandolin at six years old, and then get to play it again, going into the most famous, you know. When did they induct you into the Country Music Hall of Fame? 2018. So they waited way too long. Shame on you. No, it's almost funny to me, because it is, you know, you, listen, if in 1980, Chet Atkins, the legend, you know, credits you with saving country music from the commercialization that it was undergoing because of the urban cowboy fad and John Travolta hiss. But it's just kind of funny to me, because you've been in this world, you know, forever. The idea that you were playing with Ralph Stanley, when you were just a kid, what was it, 1971, so you're like 17, were you still in high school? I mean, you're still in high school. Yeah. Did you graduate? No, I wanted to go to the Stanley School of Music, so I wanted to stay. We started, Keith Whitley and I started when we were 16, and played the summer with Ralph, and then we had to go back to school, and, you know, Ralph wanted us to go get our education, and I thought, man, this is the education I want right here, you know. I think a lot of people understand. Folks, I'm talking, in case you're just tuning in, this is Ricky Skaggs sitting here, we will continue the conversation on all kinds of subjects, don't go away.

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.

"He didn't really have any giant hits after that from 84. And you know what? The funny thing is is if you actually look at like in terms of like Grammy Awards and his, you know, him charting, you know, his song is getting on the charts. He did not have a ton that ended up on the charts. Like, if you look at the highest grossing, most popular, you know, David Bowie songs. His remake of dancing in the streets with Mick jag, which is a horrible. Horrible song. I like under pressure better than that one. Yeah. It's like number four in terms of the success that he had. You know, David Bowie was definitely he was an album oriented kind of guy. Yeah. Yeah. All right, so I said, what did I say, diamond dogs? What do you got? Did I pick so I have to go with space oddity. You know, they go wrong. Well, you know what? It was the first, right? So space oddity was my introduction to David Bowie. My parents used to play it. Right. You know, so it was one of those, you know, classic songs. Like, if you go back into the early 70s, you had a lot of singer songwriters out there that were actually writing songs that were stories. Yeah. You know, like Jim Croce was a story guy and I know one of your favorite favorite favorite people to Harry Chapin with cats in the cradle and that's like Harry cheap and I hate that song. Yeah. And I'm not saying that space oddity is on par with Jim Croce or Harry Chapin. But it had that kind of theme that was kind of like a story that was you could follow. And there was a lot of drama and there was a lot of mystery into it, especially for a little kid listening to it, you know, can you hear me major Tom? Like, you weren't really sure what happened to him. Not until scary monsters came out. But everyone ashes through ashes, right? Which is great, great song. Yeah, we know major Tom's junkie. That's when he finally came out and said it, but the thing about space oddity is this. It's very few songs very few performers can pull this off where they actually put you right in the moment of the song. You can visualize what's going on when that song is playing. It's no like Bruce Springsteen lyrics that none of them make any fucking sense on their own, but they sound good together. They started, he put you in there..

it continues to develop nuclear capable weapons state media say the missile precisely hits a target 700 kilometers away adding that it was the second successful test in September The test came days after leader Kim Jong-un indicated nuclear talks with the U.S. were indeed a low priority for Pyongyang Now Italy is to make jabs compulsory for people over 50 and will further reduce while unvaccinated people can actually do That's after COVID cases rose to record levels Meanwhile president Macron is under pressure after France suffered Europe's highest ever daily count of infections yesterday with more than 320,000 cases And this month's Grammy Awards a show has been postponed because of surging coronavirus cases either in the U.S. organizers of music's biggest night of the year say the omicron variant means they are simply just too many risks Global news 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quick take powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries I'm Leanne guerins This is Bloomberg Caroline Thank you so much With the world news Now it's time for property portfolio Our weekly deep dive into the sector This week the outlook for UK property in 2022 CBRE the global commercial real estate services and investments firm predicts actually that a growing economy and a strengthening labor market will provide a positive backdrop this year Joining me now is yen sea boots who is the head of UK research at CBRE Thank you so much for being with us It's really great to have you on Just tell us firstly your headline forecasts for all UK property is oh Macron changing the picture at all Caroline as you said our outlook for proxies positive I'm considering the events over the last two years or so The economic backlog is generally supportive Obviously we're not out of the Woods And growth will have been dampened a little bit by the on the covariance And how this pans out That would probably dictate how growth will be over the next few months But while the hospitality might have suffered over the Christmas period we know this is going to bounce back and the desire for people to get out back to normality leisure event People make up for lost time and miss Christmas parties is going to be huge I mean the finances finances the support as a nation that we've been saving What are above normal levels since the start of the pandemic Are we going to use money and go out albeit maybe not in January and February So focusing just on property Despite all of these challenges all these ongoing pandemic challenges Try to investment last year with increased by about 40% We haven't got the final figures yet but it's likely to be an edge and over about 6 billion which is well in its best of 2019 So we expect this rebound to continue in this year And we further growth in investment about 10% Since we first saw total returns then we were looking at tech returns for about 6% this year Okay slower than last year last year was really boosted by this huge investment in industrial and logistics So pretty positive really Yeah which is kind of staggering isn't it What about the office outlook during the Financial Times I noticed reported that the amount of office space in England is actually plunged by millions of square feet Pandemic Is that it's also expected to continue to fall So what do you think about office space now Because maybe the pandemic has changed work from home et cetera so it's two things have just been if we look at the office investment levels Again this is figures that are hot off the press and step over 11 billion of investment in central London offices last year That's really 50% ahead of 2020 And what's really interesting is there's still this huge demand for development sites in London Interestingly talking to our clients they seem to actually be less concerned now about remote working from home than this time last year Seems to me that it's almost becoming part of the general's sidekick We know that in many cases hybrid is here to stay but hybrid work doesn't mean that demand for office space will necessarily fall There may be fewer people in the office on a daily basis but the way that the space is being used is different Gone are the days where you've got the lines of office lines destined to offer on their computer We know now from our work we've got a brilliant workspace team And we know from them that what's happening is when you've got fewer people in the office actually when you go in you want more collaborative space You want to be sitting and talking and being more creative in the office which actually means you need more space for less people Just briefly Yeah And just briefly in terms of warehouse demand in a couple of words increased demand for that Massive Even before the pandemic ecommerce has been growing But if you spend accelerated everyone up online shopping and people know that companies need to come wake a store all their stock and they can see rates for logistics It's about one and a half percent It's very.

"Me permission to play one of your granddad songs absolutely so i will share with you. Probably the most popular song on the album at least spotify standpoint. This song really kinda gets to me. Because there's there's a couple of songs on here that have vocals. The band had a vocalist guy. Who sings on some some songs. He has the most nostalgic voice. You'd ever heard. I kick myself just about every time. I hear it for not asking my grandpa. Hey who's the the singer of the group because to this day. I don't know who the singer is. I vowed that i will track down. Who voice. This is such an incredible voice as more people learn about this project. I'm sure his identity will come out. Yeah that's that's that's my hope. Is you get more eyeballs. Eventually some family goes hey. That's that that group that grandpa was in an hopefully eventually one of them is a relative of the the lead singer. So this is If you are but a dream by the seven forty six airforce band. Be vocalist is unknown. So if you know him you'll.

"We buy the original cd. You release those solo. Cds will be available. Probably october late mid october. Pretty much anywhere. The distributor gives them. It's all these music. Like tower records online and barnes and noble so eventually october. You'll be able to see him there. The world war two museum in new orleans. They will have it in their online store. They're going to do a test run and see how people like it i. I'm hoping people like it. So don't get picked up there for even more and more people can see it. Because that's i feel like a historians in people who love world war two at. That's the place you wanted to be. Because that's where the most eyeballs are going to see it and and listen to it and enjoy it and hear about these guys. So hopefully when the the hurricane steph wraps up and people are sick to go back to their lives down there new orleans We'll have it for sale down there and their online store in new orleans to. I wanna get one of the cds from my mom. She really enjoys reading and learning more about world war two because she was a little girl when this happened and her two older brothers served in the war. 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.

"Instruction in the banned picks up again so it's pretty neat. Cute did some work with the recording industry. The firm that operates the grammys. Tell us about that. The sound engineers. That i worked with the original one. The guy who did some of the a lotta transfer work Remove them from the records that they're on and digitalize them these down in southern california and he works for less and mastering and he's he's won a grammy himself. I think he has his. Latin grammys worked but a lot of big name people. Unlearn massacring is worked with big name musicians and they've done big time movies and done the sound. Editing for movies have won oscars have been nominated for different things. So there's him and then there's a sound engineer new york who had linked up with doing other podcasts. A jazz podcast. 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. These guys and there is little goal was to just get an album out and get it on the shelf of the the national world war museum at some point but somewhere along the way it all kind of evolved as i started to talk to different susan's start to talk to different jazz. 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.

"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.

I mean, why wouldn't that be A good person to listen to my right exactly Right. And you know if you're out there, and you think you already know enough about business, I know enough about love. I knew enough about Listen, whenever you're in a place where you're continually learning, you are sharp. You are wise you on a growth pattern that's going to take you into the stars. It's the people that think they know it all. They're usually operating in some form of pride. Those that don't want to be spiritual at all. I love them anyhow. I mean, I've got loads of friends that you know, Some of them are not so interested in anything spiritual, and I just impatient with them because I know one day they're going to reach out and they're going to say Listen, I need some help in the spiritual area of my life. Because I have some things I need healing about. And and so I just want to encourage everyone to least be open minded. Listen, we love you if you're not But if you are, listen, we're going to really take a great journey here today we're talking about the second principle of the first one was operating out of love and compassion. Of course, Christ always operated in this incredible, amazing place of love and compassion. That's why he was instantaneously drawn. So many people were drawn to him immediately when you're expressing that kind of love, day in and day out. It's a powerful source of touching people that compassionately that changes lives. And that's why even in hospitals, you'll see that there are chaplains or they'll even some of the nurses that will come into the room. They'll express love. They'll have what they call this incredible bedside manner. What does that mean? Sometimes when a doctor doesn't have That bedside manner Your nurse or someone assisting or a chaplain that comes in expresses the kind of love you really need when you're going through it, And so I just want to encourage that first principle again as we recap going into the second one thinking big Speaking a large and in charge and taking action expecting big results. Let's break that down. Just a little bit. Ephesians Street 20 a great scripture I'd like to bring up Not to be religious, to be spiritual for a moment and to say that this Scripture says now to him, who is able to do exceedingly above and beyond all that you can ask, think or imagine, according to the power that works in you. You know, when you have the love of God in you, you've got the power of God working in you because God creates through love everything. That he's created on this earth has come through his love. And you know, I've noticed even with people that I meet that I've only known for a short period of time if I really express the love of God in my conversations with him, not being religious or Pushing anything on them, but rather just expressing a loving demeanor, carrying about them being interested in their career in their life, where they're going, what they're doing, and even how they're feeling. Sometimes when you just ask someone Are you doing today? And they say, Hey, listen, I'm having a real rough time. Sometimes. I'll just say, Do you mind if I pray for you and I'll tell you what I'd say. 99.9% of the time that I've asked someone if they needed some prayer when they were going through it. They've said yes. And I can't even remember the time that they didn't but I'm talking the last 35 years. I can't remember one person, even if they were atheist. I have a friend who is an attorney, and he's had some physical problems, and he's an atheist as families and atheists. If this and kids are But one day I asked him I respect him in every way. But I just felt he needed some prayer. And I asked him it was okay. He said, Yeah, go ahead. And that was his way of reaching out to God in a sense, because When I pray. I pray to God for God's assistance as we mentioned earlier, Cal, All things are possible with God, you know, people have been ministering tube praying with and You know, just advising. I've had three over 300 reported healings in the last three years from the people that I'm working with over 300 Imagine doctors offices with 300 healings over three years, Right? And I'm not talking about with medication I'm talking about. These are true healings from depression, some of them from cancer, all kinds of Different things. Most people say no, that can't be possible. But we have the testimonies. We have the real life people and the doctor reports. And so it's incredible to watch. What's possible when you think big now. Speaking big is important. Some might say, Isn't that ego? We talked about that earlier? No, it is it as long as it's coming from the right place in your heart to think big and to speak big means that you're just Speaking in alignment with your thoughts, Jesus said something very interesting, he said. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks so in your heart, you're expecting big things in your life you're believing with God, You're part I like to say, partnering with God because I like to partner with God and everything I do. I sort of lay it before him, And there's a beautiful verse that says, if you dedicate the work of your hands To him. He will establish it. So, Cal every day that you and I dedicate the work of our hands to God who has created the universities certainly knows how to establish big things. He established the universe. Then we'll know that he's going to be alongside of us helping to establish what we're thinking. And speaking. That makes sense. It makes a lot of sense. I mean, you might want to, uh You might think reading a book of Big CEO or somebody who's accomplished a lot would be a great thing. And I'm sure it is. But why not? Why not read the book of the one who created the biggest thing? The one who created the universe? The one who created the businesses who created the businesses? Who Who are the crew who create all of the abundance? I mean? Really, It makes so much sense that it's it's just plain to see. And, you know, just the last few weeks, Cal, you've been a witness to this. I brought some of my friends on that. You know, I am not only a friend but very often there to be a support to them in many different areas of their life. I brought Denise Williams on Who's a Grammy Award winner..

Can you kind of tell our listeners about the the roles of this dinner. It's kind of little a little bit different. So i wanted to figure out how to connect with these highly influential people and i realized i needed to do something completely out of the ordinary or they would never notice me so invite twelve people at a time. But they're not allowed to talk about what they do or even give their last name. They cook dinner together. And then when we sit down to eat we play a ridiculous game. We try to guess what people do professionally. And then we find out we're sitting with about laureates. Olympians editors achieve celebrities. Grammy award winning musicians. I hosted over two thousand people ranging from like the world's foremost expert on infectious diseases to members of royalty and even the voice of the dog from who let the dogs out who won a grammy for the fell. Like just ridiculous people right and it's grown into by the largest community of its type in the world of thousand members. Two hundred twenty seven dinners ten cities in three countries. Yeah it's kind of silly also not silly. It sounds awesome and this idea. You know what it's turned into. It seems like it's a little bit different than what it really starts. Your original goal wasn't necessarily like changed the world. It will bring together awesome. People is what you're saying. Yeah book yeah it's I figured that you know. I didn't wanna be networker when you look at the the research networking people absolutely hate it. I mean it's just miserable. It makes us feel dirty. But i realized doesn't make us feel dirty is making friends and being a part of a community so i figured if i could get these people not just to connect with me but with each other. Their lives would improve and so admired in the process so that was my focus. It's not just about knowing somebody but for them to know that. I know and as many of them as possible. Everybody's better off.

Streaming music services fighting for your ears
"Has never been more important. You see in the new world of streaming If an artist can create that perfect single, their song will be streamed billions and billions of times, making them anywhere from 2 to $3. Welcome back to for my Mariana Trail that was comedian Trevor Noah, making a music streaming joke while hosting last month's Grammy Awards ceremony. This hour. We've been talking about artist compensation in the age of music streaming and in the age of the pandemic, I'm talking with Cody Fitzgerald and Josephine Shetty, both co founders of the Union of musicians and Allied Workers. And both musicians themselves. Josh can the CEO at Band Camp and not still going? Oh Sky associate editor here at KQED for KQED Arts So Trevor Noah joke on a stage like the Grammy shows that there's pop culture level awareness enough to make a joke that you know the audience will get nasty. Do you think this could be an inflection point? Culturally, where organizing efforts can maybe move the needle on artist? Compensation? Is this movement that will gain momentum? You think Radio. I think for so long music and art in general, such an individualistic pursue and then also not to mention artist kind of a lot of the time feel pressure to project this image of financial success, which makes it really hard to transparently talk about the economic realities of music. So I think just the fact that artists are building collective power and just talking about how much they make out in the open and identifying as workers is actually a big cultural shift, But I think we'll make this Conversation. Keep progressing. And Eric

The Weeknd Is Boycotting the Grammys
"Music's biggest stars, is boycotting this weekend's Grammy Awards. He's the artist behind one of the most listen to tunes ever spending 52 weeks in the top 10 of the billboard hot 100 lists. But the weekend is now saying Science Nora to Music's biggest night the best selling singer, announcing he intends to boycott all future Grammy ceremonies and will no longer permit his music to be considered for upcoming awards. This just months after the Grammys overlooked the Canadian artist completely shutting him out of all nominations following this snub the Grammy Award winning artist harshly criticizing the recording academy, calling them corrupt writing. You owe me my fans and the industry transparency. And the Grammy goes to critics have blessed the show before accusing the awards of being biased and out of touch. One of the things that has been very astonishing about all this is that three out of the last four Grammys have been racked by one scandal or another for the weekend, not to be nominated, either points to corruption or Severe dysfunction. Last year, former Recording Academy CEO Debra Dugan, ousted for alleged bullying filed a bombshell discrimination complaint against the recording academy, alleging the board manipulates the nominations process. I'm saying that the system should be transparent and that there are there are incidents of conflict of interest. That taints the results. Dugan also highlighting the longstanding struggle with gender inequality and lack of diversity when it comes to the most prestigious awards like album of the year. Saying those awards rarely go toe R and B stars like Beyonce or Kanye West. But instead, the winners tend to be in the rock, country and pop genres. But the weekends most recent statement taking it one step further, saying because of secret committees, I will no longer allow my label to submit my music to the Grammys. Something's wrong with that process. If an artist like the weekend can't even get nominated. It's something that needs to be fixed. The Super Bowl headliner is just the latest big name star to tune out the Grammys. Others include Drink, Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj. Now. In response to the weekend statement, Harvey Mason Jr. Interim president and CEO of the Recording Academy, told The New York Times We are all disappointed when anyone is upset. We are constantly evolving. And this year as in past years, we're going to take a hard look at how to improve our awards process, including the nomination review Committee.
