"Sometimes it's very very difficult. You know i mean you go chase it around everybody who disagrees with you. That's not really a life. Well spent never some people. Who deserve to be snuffed out. You know the the real racist real big it's the real homophobes and all of that stuff but there's other things where it's opinions where were so unbelievably at each other's throats that it just it doesn't seem like there's an end John's on staten island. It's going on john going on good morning. Good morning. John spencer the dave chapelle saying he explained his view on it and we hit stances. And he's like very like very sensitive about it too but he still makes his jokes and he talks about how he had to transfer and things like that. So it's worth watching. I don't think the i think the hoopla's more because it was an internal with the netflix netflix employees. Yes yes. that's one of the reasons. Why so such a big deal. Yes but it's really. It's really really funny. It's really it's really like it's very very good. It's different from his other specialists and stuff like that and i. It's it's worth what's got. Yeah i mean. And i will watch it and i feel sort of naked talking about it because i haven't seen it yet and i hate to try to have these sort of tough conversations having not seen it so you know it's it's it's you know. Here's the here's the initial tweet. That was put out by jacqueline more. The employees for netflix loved so I love so many of the people i've worked with at net flicks brilliant people and executives who have been collaborative and fought for the important art. But i've been thrown against walls. Because i'm not a real woman. I've had beer bottles thrown at me. So so that's basically netflixing done so. She resigned from resign. Yes according to the according to these tweets yes Joe is in peekskill. What's up joe. Yeah you know what. I don't get it. I mean you shouldn't make fun of people and you know daughter with disability. I don't like when people make fun of people with disabilities but you gotta take it in the context of where it comes from and you always have the right to shut it off. I don't wanna watch days you because he's saying something that i don't like i shut it off. I don't pay to watch somebody. That i know is going to be offensive to me. So you know cancel. Culture gets a little bit crazy. I want to protect the rights of people. I get it but on the other hand i mean it is comedy and you gotta you know. Just take with a grain of salt like bouma said andrew dice. Clay makes fun with did make fun of a lot of different people. You the laughing off. We showed him out. You don't watch him in. Don't don't enough people watching job on a phone book bouma. You weren't real good buddy. My tony was stage manager at the nfl today. yeah up in the bronx. good man. tony. Tony yeah i know. So what do you think. I mean i just you know you always have an option to shut it. Yeah i i know. Joe i mean all right the how do you put this. I have not been in a situation where i've been so different. Were people have gone after me. That i'm different and of made me feel less than equal. I've been fortunate in that way in the growing up. I've never felt that way. There are people out there that feel that way. Trans people feel that way. Where they there's people at say things to them and they feel less than equal and it's it's a big part of their lives so yes it may be simple for me or joe peekskill to have because we grew up in a ball boston area with a bunch of like minded and same looking people to turn something off. We don't like it may not be that easy for someone who grew up with either a disability or maybe had some sort of other issue or maybe trans or maybe and then felt less than than equal growing up because there were some mean. People being bullied out there. So that's that's all you know it's it's it's hard it's just it's it's a. It's a difficult conversation to have but i'm not going to tell somebody you you should with your experiences not be offended about this. You know what i'm saying. Yeah okay. I know what you're saying exactly have to take a break next to you for three years. I know i just wanted to. I needed affirmation in that situation. Gotten to you all right.

"That's a song called on the Shoulder from Tony Rice's album from 1984 with the same name and on banjo in that album is my guest, Bela Fleck. But let's talk a little bit about your early years. You grew up in New York City. Can you tell us a little bit about your family and your neighborhood? Um, sure. I grew up on 100 Street in West End Avenue. It was a 3.5 room apartment. I think it cost $120 a month. My mother was a school teacher Elementary school kindergarten. And, uh, yeah, that was it. My my grandparents lived Jewish live in Queens. My grandfather had a car wash business. A lot of people assume that you have Hungarian roots because of your first name, But your name is Bailey because your father named you after the composer Bela Bartok. Was your father, a musician. Yes, my father. Well, I would say he was a wannabe music. He wanted to be an opera singer, and I think he studied in Europe. But it didn't work out for him and he ended up moving into, um Being a scholar and, uh, dead languages, Norse things like that college professor But you didn't know him growing up, right? That's right. I didn't know my father, Um, until I was in my forties or so I never even met him. Um and he and my mother split up when I was somewhere between one and two, and I have an older brother as well. So He's a year older than me. And but anyway, my father named both of us after composers and I finally did get some of that classical influence from my stepfather was a wonderful fella. Named Joe Palladino and he played the cello and so very often I would hear classical string quartet music on Sundays at our house, you know, in our apartment. So, um, yeah, but that's the story. Was Bela. Tough name to have as a kid. Bela got better. It wasn't It wasn't awesome in the beginning, but as it went on, as life went on, I sort of liked having a name that was different from other people. And, um Most people didn't know how to and they could say it if you told them how to say it, But they didn't, um, that if you if they read it, they would call me Bella. Lot of people call me Bella. I didn't really like that. But Baylor was pretty cool. So I think your grandfather bought you your first band show. How old were you? I was 15. I had been playing some guitar kind of hack guitar. I liked it, but I wasn't fired up, as they say, And, but he knew I liked the guitar, and so I went up to Peekskill, New York, where he lived. In those years about an hour north of the city on a train and when I got up there, this was the weekend before I started high school. He had this banjo he had gotten at a garage sale. Just a cheap beater Banjo. And he said here I know you like the guitar. Maybe you like this, and he handed it to me. And I hadn't really been that vocal or public about the fact that I was in love with the banjo, because for one thing, I didn't think anybody could actually play it. It had to be impossible. From what I could hear. So, um, all of a sudden, he hands me What? I've been wanting my whole life and put it in my hand. Hey, maybe you'd like this and I was just blown away. I couldn't believe it, and I just kept trying to play it and I couldn't get it in tune. But on that Sunday, we took the train back to the city, and I met a fella on the train. Who said, Is that a five string? I said Yeah, he said, you know how to tune it. I said no, and he tuned it up for me and gave me like a first banjo lesson. And the next day I started high School of music and art high school, which is, you know, the Fame school. It sounds like you had a series of different teachers over the years and I'm just wondering like When you got really into it. Did you forgo all things like Did your schoolwork suffer as a kid? Yeah, well, my point about the guitar, as you know, sometimes you got a kid in there like interested in something. And then you've sometimes you've got a kid who's fired up about something, and the guitar didn't fire me up. But when I got the banjo, I got fired up. I would not put it down and I just, um Yeah, it was the most important thing in my life. And maybe I've been looking for something you know to fill in. Some lacks. Or some, you know, self doubt or abandonment issues. Who knows, But whatever it was, I poured everything into that instrument. And you know, in just a few years just to two or three years. Um, I was studying with the great Tony Triska, who was, you know, one of the great banjo players of all time. Fortunately for me, he lived in the New York area, and people would say we would be at a party and we'd be playing together. And people would say when I close my eyes. I couldn't tell which one was Tony, you know, And at the time I felt that that was an incredible compliment. And it was in terms of the speed that I, you know, got good on the banjo. But at a certain point, I realized that there already was a Tony Triska and it wasn't me. So I had to find my own way. And it was around that time that I heard Chick Corea and return to forever play at the Beacon Theater, just a couple of blocks from where we now lived. In the seventies, and, uh, had my mind blown and that's when I went back home after that concert instead of trying to map out the fingerboard and trying to figure out how I could play the notes that Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke and now then the other lower playing on their instruments, which I It dawned on me. They were all on my banjo somewhere. I just had to find him. Our guest is Bela Fleck. We'll be back after short break. This is fresh air. This is fresh air. If you're just joining us, Our guest is Bela Fleck, who has a new album, his first bluegrass album in Over 20 years. It's called My Bluegrass Heart. You.

But at at a certain point i realized that there already was a tony tricia and it wasn't me so i had to find my own way and it was around that time that i heard chick corea and returned forever. Play at the beacon theater Just a couple of blocks from where we now lived in the seventies and had my mind blown. And that's when. I went back home after that concert started. Trying to map out the fingerboard and trying to figure out how i could play the notes that chick corea and stanley clarke and album yellow. We're planning on their instruments. Which i it dawned on me. They were all on my banjo somewhere. I just had to find him. You dedicated your new album. We said to to people tony. Rice and chick corea who both died last year. And who were big musical presences in your life. Let's talk a little bit about chick corea. You planted your chick. Corea fan flag pretty early on in your career on your first album from nineteen seventy nine. You covered his famous to spain. And then eventually you had a duo with him. He recorded some albums you had you. You toured. How did that collaboration come. About first of all i have to say. I heard spain in jazz appreciation class in high school. And it blew me away. The same way earl scruggs blew me away the way it just imprinted on my consciousness and i was like wow i want that. I don't know what that is. But i want that. And it was his his keyboard solo on the tune. Spain it just blew me away. As the years went went by. I would run into him now and then. I remember when. I made the drive album my first bluegrass album. I managed to glenn my way backstage. When he played in nashville and hand it to him. I also remember writing him a letter way back way way way back. Maybe after i've been playing a few years and he actually wrote me back chick. Korea would write fans back. Who wrote him letters in the in the late seventies unbelievable that he would do that and then a little while later fled tones. Were doing pretty good. We're playing at the jacksonville jazz festival. Our tour bus pulled up in front of a hotel and iran. In and when i came back out and jump back on the tour bus chick corea was standing there. I said chick. What are you doing on our our bus. And he said baylor. What are you doing on our bus. And our bus had pulled out and pulled up. And we really didn't know each other very well but i got up the nerve to ask him if he would play on a track for me some day and he said yes to my surprise and he played on. Actually i think it was three tracks and i was playing at the newport jazz festival one year and he walks up to me but ted kurland. Who is chicks a booking agent and he says oh chickens thinking about doing duos next year and he. You're on his shortlist. Would you be interested in doing anything with him. I was like what are you kidding. Would anybody say no to this. Sign me up. i'm ready. I'd love to do that and it was. It was a dream come true and then after the pandemic started i got a call from turkey said. Hey i'm bored. Let's do some stuff. And so we started doing pandemic recording back and forth. he would send me a tune. Lay down a track. i would. i would do some banjo on it. Or then i would. Then i would do a track. And i send it to him. Send me an improvisation. I play over it. I sent him an improv. So you know there's a whole bunch of stuff in the can with us. That hopefully will come out someday. That is actually kind of a new angle on our duo so nothing will ever take the place of having chick corea in my life. you know. it's it's such a loss for me. No one will be that from a ever again. But hey not only. Did i get to play with the guy. He became a dear friend. What was it like playing with korea from the live album. It sounds like sometimes you would feel intimidated. Yeah yeah it was intimidating. Because you know he was chick corea and he would just do things off the top of his head that we're just impossible some days i would go. You know i'm gonna practice a bunch of stuff for this song and then when we get on stage. I'm going to do this stuff. And he's going to go. Oh yeah well that's cool but what would happen is i would do that stuff. And he'd go. Well if you can do that will. I can do this. And it would be like getting a swarm of bees buzzing. He would go hyper drive and there was no way i could hang in there with them so it was you know it was humbling until one day i started thinking maybe my purpose of playing with chick corea was to provoke new things out of chick corea not for me a play you know now he certainly provoked new things out of me on a momentary basis. Every moment i was having to to jump and do things. I'd never done before to to try to hang in there with them but the things that he would do after i would demonstrate a banjo technique to him. He would do them in such a way that it was It was just. It was just unbelievable and it was brand new chick. Corea playing that. Maybe nobody else would have provoked from him. So i felt very proud to stimulate the sleeping giant. Will you guys sounded great together Let.

Yeah let's not add complication to your situation. Let's keep it simple and you get the cash whether it's because you take a job you push it off whatever that looks like or you sell the house wherever you get the money from. You're gonna pay in cash. You're taking down off the table. Because that's how you got in this awesome position you're in and you're going to work hard to maintain it but i will tell you it's way easier way easier to maintain this position that you're in that is to get back here out of debt if you make the wrong choice and you decide to take out loans for that so whatever you do you're going to pay for it and cash whatever timeframe even if that pushes back your time frame a little bit you'll be setting those future kids up a whole lot better when you're starting a family debt free versus starting a family in debt great question though and i'm excited for you.

Hundreds and soci- was able to buy this house in chicago house whole house and she basically again. I'm kind of it. Just hit me as you're making me remember this history that what i'm doing in peekskill is what she did because she basically with her partner stood on the poor to the house and waited and it was a huge immigrant community. Lots of issues with poor factory conditions. You know the industrial revolution was at full height and she waited and waited and waited and finally one day. This woman came up to her. And said i see you're standing on your porch and you're not doing anything and handed her infant and said i have to work in the factory and my seven year old usually watches the incident but i want the year seven-year-olds to go to school.

You know we saw south in this industrial law. Lofton you know continuing to be in the buzz and the moving shaking in a city and so this was a very different idea for us. We were almost kind of shocked by it but we wanted to live closer to family and we looked at a couple of places and what we love about. Peekskill is that it is a small city and yet it's a historic city is filled with gorgeous buildings and homes and Has a very rich history. Both good and bad and it's a very diverse city which is interesting given that were still in westchester county which is a very elite kind of suburb of of the city because in the city it's sort of a city that's becoming like people have rediscovered it.

"Every week as we look at sustainability ethics and the business and madness of fashion. How do you feel about getting older. Maybe you so young. It feels like a world away or maybe like me wondering where the time went or like this week's guest who reinvented her career in her sixties going from college professor to instagram star and being described as one of fashion's finest dressed people since then she's been written about a thousand times as this sort of post a woman for growing oldest stylishly but now she's examining further what it means to be old and what we think about that word from old people. Too old houses to old things does old still have a stigma. And how does it relate to slow slowing down. Slow fashion appreciating things that have been around a bit.

"On the third day of deliberations it was eleven one for conviction was one holdout juror. Who thought i was innocent. They were all pressuring him to switch his vote then when they sent the note out saying Asking the judge wealth. They didn't come up with a verdict. Then would they be sequestered over the christmas holiday and the judge said that they would and at that point the pressure increase on him and nobody wanted to be sequestered over the christmas holiday including that holdout jurors switch vote from not guilty to guilty and the end result of all those factors. Which i mentioned to you was that i was. I was roughly convicted of a murder. And rick and at sixteen years old. I mean that's pretty insane. You know what's going through your mind at that point. I mean know that you didn't do it. You know what what is your thought process. Yeah let me sixteen year right. When i was arrested i was seventeen by the time. The trial started in lost. So when i was sitting there in the courtroom Newly turned seventeen and the verdict came in. I was convicted. I mean i was kind of stunned. I mean i had had fully expected to be found. Not guilty because i was innocent up into that point in time. I thought that only guilty people were convicted. And i was just kinda like in stunned disbelief. I mean initially. I while the that i just hear that right today that i missed the word not But then you know. It was clear that i had not missed it I just was kind of like in disbelief. In is really was crushed and i really had no idea what was going to happen next and in the courtroom i were. You tried as a minor or were you tried as an adult altriset though. What were you sentenced to. I was given the fifteen to life. Sentence i big josh overturn verdict. Because i was innocent. That referenced the dna and he told me on the record you said maybe you are innocent. And then but he didn't overturn the addiction. He instead gave me a fifteen to life sentence. And so because i've been charged as an adult. I was sat as an adult. I was sent to an adult prison. Wow now in nineteen ninety. I mean that's when the dna evidence and dna in trial were fairly new. My correct abalta. Dna was but then around from nineteen eighty-seven it wasn't unheard of. You know the same trial. Judge overturned someone else's wrongful someone else's wrongful conviction and peekskill based on dna so while it was new that everybody understood it. Yeah now you said that. The dna evidence didn't match during the trial. So why wouldn't that. Just overturn the entire case right. There is a confession really that deep of an evidence. Yeah it is. It really should have should have stopped the trial but like i said i think it would just desperate to get it to get a conviction so you're convicted. You're sentenced so tell me what jail is like in a maximum security prison for sixteen seventeen year old kid. How does that play out. It was very frightening. I mean there was. There was a lot of our though fully formed adults there many of whom guilty of committing serious crimes. They had armed his biggest by legs. And you know i.

All right, two minutes, tops for five and time for weather with meteorologist race. Did you get the weather channel and boy? This just keeps on coming here right cold this morning. Yeah, Joe, and I don't see any end in sight to the cold weather. Anything in terms of well, I'm not going to stay warm up. I'm going to say anything in terms of not as cold will quickly get shoved back to cold. I think over the upcoming weekend and No in terms of precipitation, just like yesterday. Ah, couple of systems and they try to graze us. But as we expected, some got none yesterday and to the north. We did see 34 inches of snow up through Putnam County 2.5 and put them Valley had to go up there Orange County to get those four inch totals, But Westchester had two ages that Golden Bridge in Peekskill, so there was some snow in spots. In and around the city. Officially, none reported, and that's a good thing. But we'll get another brush late tonight early tomorrow of one of these systems, Joe, where you say any more or less of accumulating snow again as This will bring the snow down the I 95 corridor, maybe down toward Philadelphia and Washington, D c. Where they could get maybe 3 to 5 inches. But here ah, cold morning of clouds, Son mixed teams in the suburbs low to mid twenties and then across the city. 32 later today. That's a light snow on snow showers tomorrow tonight into tomorrow morning. 27. So the timing on it could slip in the streets of even though we're thinking up to an inch accumulating and my think that might even be a little aggressive, Joe and then cloudy tomorrow, for the most part, 33 dry Friday dry Saturday and maybe another storm to try to get in here Sunday as temperatures will stay in the upper twenties in your 30 degrees Sunday system again is going to be a southern system so we may see you go out to sea and barely grazed us. But again, we're still early in the process. May end up seeing another couple of inches of snow in some spots, so heads are coming, Joe. The problem is is that we're just not right on the center of where the heavier of the snow's falling with most of these systems, staying just north on the northern fringe of it for that weekend system also Yeah. You know, this is the worst part of winter when it just It's unrelenting. It's always cold and snowing, You know, especially coming now, you know?

And so the heat rises up above your head level and keeps you cooler on Dove course ceiling fans. Cost a tiny fraction of the amount of electricity of a C but they can cool you off by a few degrees just is equally Let's go to Courtney Online. Nine in Peaks Go. Hi, Courtney. Thanks for calling all of it. Hi. This is Kourtney from Peekskill. Thanks for having me on. Um I like a lot of people. I have the vegetable garden. I drive the electric vehicle I compost and all that, but I realized that all of that requires money, and not everyone is in a financial position to do that, so we really need to change the system so that everybody has access to renewable heating cooling. Electricity, etcetera. And as many people know, New York passed the steel c p a that Climate Leadership Community Protection Act that said, all these lofty goals for getting up getting us off fossil fuels. But one thing that folks can do and actions that they can take is that right now, our New York State Public Service Commission has been tasked with making the actual road map of how we're going to meet those goals. And they were supposed to come out with that back in August of 2020, and since then they've just been delaying and delaying over and over again. Wilmore Focker feel infrastructure gets built. All across New York. So a bunch of organizations from all over New York 130 organizations with 190 elected officials have called on the Public Service Commission to basically put out that plan and get us the rapid and equitable transition. So we're having a virtual rally and press conference on ground Hog Day. The second of February at noon, and we would love it. If folks who really want to see us change this system joined us. You can find all the information at renewable heat now dot org's Or search for hashtag. Get off gas on Twitter. Thanks, Courtney. They're doing that for the shadow. We really appreciate it. My guess is David Pogue. How to prepare for climate change a practical guide to surviving the chaos. This is a big, thick book. There's so much information in here. Something I thought was kind of interesting given some of the headlines of today is you write about investing What are some ways to engage in the stock market? The way you can invest ethically invest if that's the way you want to go about helping this issue. Yeah, And you know this ties in beautifully with Courtney's called just now Climate change. Study after study has shown hits low income areas and communities of color, worse, um, long list of historical reasons for that, Um, so this this chapter on where to invest Profit from climate change adaptation was a long conversation with my editor is, is it Tasteless and elitist to suggest that people can invest. In businesses that will do well in the climate change era. And the answer, according to the experts I spoke to is yes, because in effect, you're helping the problem. You're backing and investing in companies. They're trying to make it better for everyone. Better to invest in, You know something that's going to make the world cleaner than in let's say a fossil fuel company anyway. So the answer The question is e mean the obvious thought is Oh solar power. Oh, wind power. Those actually aren't fantastic investments. Or the simple, wonderful reason that they've gotten really, really cheap. I mean, the price of solar power and wind is So cheap this year, 72% of all new electrical production facility in the United States will be renewable energy, mainly from solar and wind. That's why they're not a great investment. It's kind of a race to the bottom. Better ideas or to think of who will profit. From the solar and wind industries. A bunch of states now have mandates to get a certain amount, including New York to get a certain amount of their power from renewable sources. And they have to buy that power from electrical utilities. So the utilities that get most of their power from solar and wind are the ones who will do well. Companies like Nextera and Excel Energy. Also, you know, we know that the world is going to electric cars. General Motors incredibly announced that they're going to be an all electric car. Yeah, Company within 14 years. Um, So how do you think strategically upstream? Well, they all need lithium ion batteries, and there's only four companies that make them They're all Asian cos there's LG Electronics and Panasonic and so on. And all those batteries require lithium, and there are very few major lithium mining companies, but one of them is American. All tomorrow. It's called, and there's a chill and company too. So it's a matter of sort of thinking upstream from who is going to supply all of these technological solutions to climate change.
