"A combination on now. I know what i'm doing. No i know the modes stale and large changes. I couldn't read what we read travel. And all and you give me enough time. I read it. But i made it would take me. You know probably ages. Yes basically similar trains. Take you an hour to make minute rice. Who would you say the number one influential musician or band was for tony. Hazelden in our band. No just inject. Well it can be in your band or just out of all the musicians you've ever encountered or seen or heard over your over your span. Who do you think sticks out as the most influential for you find a flavors. Top layer. Jeff okay you know me He doesn't sound like anybody else. He's not shredder necessary east but it takes chances of yours the ios in directions that contrary to an all solid. Sure how i'd say he's a big influence. There was ties to the yardbirds there with him right now. The baby. you just All abacha to shovel name rain sleet. Lvs mersing yup. Yeah he's just he's he's he's take naked. Feel taking me john. What advice would you give a young up and coming guitar player. Somebody this look to learn the guitar but knows really nothing about it. What what would you know somebody of your caliber of player. Say to a young person or even an old person doesn't have to be. You don't have to be young to learn the guitar right. But what would you say to somebody. Just start now. i'm not. I'm not sure about this. I'll tell you. I wish i had done. I learned a. They had a good learn learning those and no matter what you learn try to find out why it and if you if you try figure out what happened to china do is build a mass and star civilized you need to learn learn a scale Hale and then it was boring sound like your views but once you learn that and not learning all positions and if he plays a lot of things i'll learn i've learnt yet. I just know out if i had gone back and said how did he do demand their day matters it and then end up back at sea. Learn to learn learn. Why they lord. I can play a lot monasteries. That i didn't know why. Yeah but if if i think if i had learned why earlier it would make a big difference so i would say. Learn songs that you like once. Did you out why they happened that way. Why then why that change will if you figure out why. Then you're opening so many doors for yourself to be more creative and and do so many more things than just pigeonholing yourself into knowing one thing about the guitar and over the years i feel like i missed the boat. You know i you know. I probably didn't ask why. And you know i'm an okay player but in the grand scheme of things with all these catch your and on youtube and whatnot i mean. They're just phenomenal phenomenal players. And and they get it. They understand why they're doing what they're doing. And how it all fits. And that's that's taking it to a whole different level. You know anybody can read a tablets and mimic something but to understand to to dissect what works with what and can do that on the fly that takes you to a whole different level. I think the more you do it. It's just like darna. Somebody after played a hundred times. Yup in god we got it down but then okay learning in that position negative. Everybody's you to that late jubilant. A map of december. So that you know if i take a riot among those baton rouge all it is is a map and then you learn the side roads and all that and And it's hard to do his boring than it. Yeah well planned fields net. Our by in thirty minutes outdo. Will you have to do all those things to become proficient. And i think steve miller said it best years ago you gotta go through hell before you get to heaven right and i think there's a lot of truth to that in a lot of things that we do whether it's playing music or being a great football player.

"Bostick you guys can certainly see the video that we're talking about rock or country hence he your rock person at all. We haven't talked about that. You know it's funny. I used to thing some rock songs and my cover band back in the day. And i just haven't really spent a whole lot of time in like a rock phase where territory. Yeah country taught me how to write songs. I feel like listening to and singing country pop song hit songs over and over again. So i think if i had to choose one but third. I think you'd find beauty and every absolutely would you say that you're an early bird or naito. Early bird loria yes. I was up at five fifty five mornings. Well yeah we're we're a rare breed for musicians most musicians or up all night and sleep all day kind of thing. But i think it's also maybe what kind of using that you're doing and what kind of places that you're playing i think will dictate a lot of whether you're up all night or sleeping all day kind of thing. You might even come back to that age thing you talked about. So yeah i was gonna say sews or something wrong with like sitting around at eight o'clock at night and start start. Yawning man must be must be midnight. And you look at your watch is like wet is only eight ten so i used to say a very late and that was by creative time but over the years. I've just gone to bed earlier and gotten up earlier. Xp creative when whatever you know. But you know what i find too is that i find my most creative time is five six in the morning. Like i'll come edit. And i'll do things like that for my show early in the morning that i think that's just when my brain is fresh and my brain at seven thirty eight o'clock it starts to do this. It starts to. It's like you look out the window and it's like it's getting dark so the brain just kinda like shuts down the body follows it but i find my most creative times are in the mornings and i don't know if that's the case for you or not but it's it sounds like that it might be whereas it used to be made late at night at right yup about a favorite place to play. You might plead the fifth on this. Because i tell a lot of my guests. You might want to plead the fifth. Because you don't want to hurt anybody's feelings that might be booking you and whatnot but if you can share a favorite place to play pretty hard to beat the running auditory sure. Yeah i would say the rhyme or the opera house that was just such a dreams. Come true for me that when it happened you know it was not only the space but the dream being realized my dream. Venue this point now that those have already happened as well overhaul so i keep saying that hope that i can. Maybe play that that menu in london some day and i don't. I don't know that. I'm all that familiar with it. But i do remember her. Adele doing a live recording At role albert hall. And i don't remember the song i'm not. I don't follow adele. But i know the song that she sang can't think of the name of it but she singing it and the crowd starts singing back to her. I don't know if you've seen that video but it's also another like it's where she like breaks down when she hears her song saying back to her. But it's in the value that you spoke of so if you get a chance in like to get sappy that's nine good one zero. I'm telling you all the sappy stuff to listen to. But about a favorite song to play live can't make you love me. Love that song so much. So and what about a number one influential musician or band. The just did it for you that you would say. That's they're just it for me or that person's it for me that so hard because there are few but people often here in my music and she's definitely influence and i love that she does so many different styles but i would have to say fair. Barilla's is a big one for me. I mean the fact that she could do musical theater and pops and you know all these others on ras and right for other people well and just. She's incredible so. I would say their relics but also funnier susan. Tobac- their voices. Ross emotional laird thing. Area that's awesome. I love bonnie rate for sure. Is there a favorite song of all time in your is. Is there one song that you can pick out that has been your song your staple song you call the greatest song of all time for whatever reason i say about can't make you love me. I love that song I don't know if there's a second to that in my mind. I want song that kind of become back in my hometown. Like my song. That i cover. So maybe i should have answered the previous question. What this is bobby. Mcgee i do some good sapling every once in a while but it's funny. I used to play this festival in my small hometown. Called nickeled dickel bay and ban that i played with they. They're called travel ground and they would play eight hours that day. And i swear i would say about mcgee an hour by the end of the day my has gone. My voice has gone like janice joplin or you can. I don't think there's any pretending like you can sing like janice joplin and kasey is a true gravel. Throated singer that definitely the the pride of beaumont orange texas which is probably about two hours from from me here in houston. But i wanna thank jen for joining me on the show.

"Here's your host of backstage pass radio randy hosie. Hi cindy. welcome to the show. Randy induced. I did so it was going to get me to line. I'm horrible with dates I think it was two thousand eighteen at green hall and green texas. You're opening with michael and kevin. So that's where i yeah company. It's it looks like that is the way it's spelled but it's pronounced green g. r. e. e. gap that day on my face memory. Khaimah lean years ago today so i was right then. Two thousand eighteen is something. I'm i'm like don't forget i don't forget faces. I don't forget names but if you ask me what yesterday's day was i'm gonna lie to you and tell you the to- totally wrong day drive horrible date so my memory of me running outside the great hall interesting so have to. I'm getting a little ahead of myself. But did they. Did they get you to come in through the window on the side of that building. That's usually where the artists enter. Green hall is through a chicken wired window on the side of the building or did you just walk through the front door. When you played there definitely remember walking. Were no and i do not remember coming you the front door and then you remember there were a lot of those yes very very welcome to texas in the summertime right. Yeah i mean yeah well if somebody was smart they would've told you don't even bother doing your hair your makeup because it's going to be a wreck before you even get started. Good shower well. The green hall is famous for the musicians. Entering from would be it would be stage left so it would so. If you're standing on the stage looking out at the audience it would have been to the left. And so there's a window that folds out in it's basically open aired so it's chicken wire and that's where the artist come in because the dance hall is so full of people that the artist you know really can't walk through the crowd to get to the stage so they have them crawl through a window on the side of the stage. So i don't. That's what one of the things that green hall is famous for anyway. We'll we'll talk a little bit about that here in a minute. But i wanted to maybe think melissa for share a bunch of emails back and forth with may trying to get the setup and i'm assuming that she is.

"Do solos like nobody. I've ever heard it very much stuck out in my mind to it's like wow that's pretty pre technical playing there. It sounds really good. If i asked the same question of savage what song. What was your song back in the day. What was your favorite song to dubai savage when you guys played live. Probably break away okay. It was that was on. The first record of that was actually written by lance ross. He was he was in brittany for a while and then came over into savage. He was actually the first guitar player. Savage and then michael scott came. Let me get my chronology together right. So yeah he. He came into Savage and then then michael scott but he wrote hero breakway and that was off the ep. Our remember yeah and was. Cut it out a unoriginal yahoo by you guys. That was always one of my favorites formal training on the drums. Yeah the funny part of it is is a just said come back from l. a. Thomason bang bang out already. Done the winter cat thing and was in bang. And it's word. I met the the great greg lemay. He was at one of my shows and he just walked up to me and he goes. Hi i'm craig lane you ever think about taking drum lessons. Here's my car. Give me a call and any will turn out walked away. And i was like man if fucking but you know i thought card and i thought about it for a couple of weeks and i said you know i found out that actually he had he had Todd bobby rock and blas elias. A probably should give this guy call and he he certainly changed my drumming life for sure he he took me to unravel. I was not at all if it hadn't been for him the lot that i'm doing now. That would not be able to do him. For so bobby rock he he was. I think a houston guy right and then left and went and auditioned for the vinnie. Vincent invasion right and landed that big. We were in the hallway together because auditioned for that too. Oh did you. Yeah i went in. I and i knew that it was over. Bobby going in after me because it was There's no way that i was going to win. Something over that guy. He's he's beyond incredible. Joey had a lot of nice things to say about yum yum. Right great guy wonderful. I've carrying guy known him all these years and you know was he. I'm trying to remember. So i was he a drum instructor at h. and h. music here does sound. Oh i didn't. I knew of him. He he would come see savage economy of him. I didn't renew found more about him. After a loss audition you know started doing some research about who who was and what he did and so but i. I don't know as good as he is. Probably you know. I can't see him not teaching. You know all i know. I don't know to what extent that he worked with craig. I'll know that they actually did work together. And they remain Best of friends to this day. Great in it seems like if my memory serves me correctly he might have done some producing with dana strum well. Dana strum was Our producer you. He produced the sweet savage record. Okay and That's actually how. I got the audition for the vinnie. Vincent invasion and then Dana strum was the bass player for the vinnie. Vincent invasion bobby. Got that gig. So that's how they stayed together scout and for the listeners. That are wondering who the hell is. Vinnie vincent right. I was one of the guitarist that was in kiss. Yeah he was a while. I think that they might have been the third replacement i think. Mark saint saint. John hewlett bruce kulich. And then i think vinnie and Tommy something is the new guy. I can't remember no. I don't follow kissed him on. Don't either interesting radio.

Make sure you liked subscribe and turn alerts on for this and all upcoming podcasts. And now here's your host a backstage pass radio randy hosie randy. How are you versi man. Good to see you. Thanks for coming in a chat with me today. I think the last time that we probably ran into each other was at one of my romero shows. Probably pre cova. It's probably been a while. Yeah yes oh there and again romero's my favorite restaurants still. You know they're all the time. So how surprised to see you. It seems like we eat there three or four nights a week. Sometimes it's i don't understand. How's the family doing post cova Fine the cova didn't really affect my work too much which was fantastic family wise. Nobody that i know in my family has contracted coveted some are getting vaccinated some or not you know but everything's been been wonderful for us. I mean i know it's been horrible for a lot of people. We are one of the few The lucky ones. Yeah for sure. I think there was only i think my daughter was the only one in the immediate family to get actually diagnosed with kobe. But she's also a nurse at a major hospital here in town that was working in the cove unit so it was inevitable that she might contract it from being in the same place with a lot of people that already had the the virus. Yeah we had. We had a few people at my work. That contract and Actually my closest co worker that rides with being a truck every day he got it and i can't believe i didn't laos Pretty amazing but Like i said all in all everything's been fine. That's good now. Did it slow you down work. Wise did you guys fill an impact where you're working like with the the work load. Did it slow down a little bit. During covert march and that was it We had a great january february at It kind of slowed things down just because nobody knew what was going on and what to expect. Then we were deemed essential workers somehow being in surveying and construction of you so we picked dry backup having missed a beat on on course to have a really great year. So that's good that's great. I know that in my line of work there was some impact there for sure but oil and gas you know oil was down in the shitter for awhile and that you know a lot of my customers are wall and gas customer so i felt a little bit of the wrath of it but so you and i are basically all kinds of neighbors like. We're not neighbors in the same neighborhood. But we live in the same area in the cyprus area and we were talking before the show that you guys were down off highway six before. Now you're out in cyprus proper How long have you been out in this area now. On november of last year moved out there I sold my house. Actually we moved to cybersea november. And i didn't sell my house until february so But we actually moved in november. So yup i love it. I mean the reminds me a lot of mississippi pine trees for sure like it. Well that's a great segue. So let's let's let's set the listeners straight because you kind of set me straight before we Before we went on and started recording you were not born in mississippi but the whole your whole family was from. Mississippi is is that right. Every single aunt uncle cousin Mom and dad brothers sisters. Everybody was born in mississippi. At from me and i was on the the tail end of my fathers air force career and he happened to be stationed in salina kansas on air force base. And that's where. I was born so interesting. A missed out so you grew. Would you say that. Was kansas where you grew up than the no. No i was only there about a year and a half okay. Then we went to miami beach. Florida then to albany new york and then finally when i was in the third grade moved to pearl mississippi and That's that's basically my from there till the eighth grade and again we had talked about this before is that's where we met. Time tie taber. And i lived three houses away from each other so that kind of connected us many years down the road. Sure show. we'll get to that some. Yeah for sure. My mom was born in vicksburg. So she's a she's a mississippi girl. Family either select mississippi. It's a beautiful place. And like i said. Even though we moved out later on in life. I mean my mom and my brothers still live there for quite some time before everybody decided to move the texas and and i would visit frequently at least once a year to go back to see everybody so yeah now growing up as a kid. At what age did you get interested in music or even more so learning musical instrument you know. I think we all start here music at a very young age right but some never pick up. Won't the be an artist or a rub instrumentalists like do you remember that far back like when you really got interested in. I wanna be this or that. Yeah living around the corner from tie his father and his brother and tie himself. They were in a bluegrass band. So i became introduced to actual musicians for the first time through that relationship with tying his family and My mom and dad got together and bought me this crappy little sears or i think actually montgomery ward drums at that die proceeded to beat holes in immediately. But you know ties is talked about this before but We used to play in his front yard discount. A banging around and there was a ban That was a right across the street. He lived in bermuda circle and Tournament can't remember the name of the band. They were in but two of the musicians. Mickey pogue and Think i don't know if. Tommy alters isn't obama tommy aldridge was from pearl but nonetheless they would come out of their rehearsal room and drive past us and laugh at us and stuff so it was gonna so. Is this the same. Tommy aldridge from ozzy osbourne his He grew up in rural. That's interesting i. I had somebody the other day. Maybe it was a co worker. That said something about. Does he live and high meadow ranch. Is he local here in houston. Now i don't know All i know is that and i say i don't want to say that. He grew up in pearl but his family lives in parole for a time. Okay and after at some.

If you like we go to some Quickfire questions real quick This is kind of a a little segment that i like to do. I just like just throw out the first answer that comes to mind. You don't have to elaborate unless you want to kind of keep it concise. But the first one is strike cats or elvis elvis carl perkins or jerry lee lewis. Oh that's the toughest one I'm going to say jerry lewis. Which is crazy. Carl perkins's one of my favorite guitar players on the planet. One hundred percent. Like that's would be a number one go-to guy but jerry lewis Really really effected my guitar. Plan my my guitar style. I learned how to play the guitar. Because i wanted to play the guitar. Like he played the piano. Yeah and and so much of my tonk in boogie. Woogie stuff come is straight straight out of the book of of jerry. Lewis crazy jerry jerry lewis trivia question for you maybe maybe i'm wrong but where where is he from where to. Where was he born to. you remember. he's louisiana guy. Yeah yeah faraday.

I'm so happy and just like grabbed him on his shoulders and everything and he's sitting in this chair with his feet propped up in these these white shoes white shoes and he's got this this huge snarl on his face and he's kicked up a toll mom story and she said well john janis. Mom talks like this. He's southern belle said johnny. You will those What he would call his go to hell shoot. That means. He can wear those shoes where he wants to keep his chin up high.

But yeah i like okinawan nice What about Formal training or play by ear. Play by your number one influential musician or band Might sound. Strange hank williams. Yeah he wrote From songwriter standpoint. He he in my opinion wrote it all and he wrote it in the simplest format so used the fewest amount of words and got the most impact out of every word. That's the goal for me. Yeah right and songs is like. That's i think that's where the genius in the song is can say it in the fused amount of words for sure. Yeah i never thought of it that way.

"Guy been back to dallas in almost twenty years so i don't know what it's like now but i don't have to go with houston. Well you know if you compare dallas back to the the backstage and the cardi's days like you came up during that time. Oh like you know. I'd still say houston. Okay yeah. I always tell people you can plead the fifth on this one. Because you don't wanna fill partial like to the places that you play but do you have a favorite room or a favorite place that you liked to. Oh you mean like venue. Yeah jackie's okay. Yeah somebody else. A jackie's too. Yeah brit yeah. That's joe yeah. Brett abraham britt i yeah. He did say that didn't yeah was trying really somebody. I interviewed said that. I was thinking that kent said that but i don't remember if i asked him i haven't heard kent's no no come out thinking about throwing his away. I'm just kidding poor. Can't we've like done a who teen. Whose kent well at least. It's not on video. Because i heard he was naked. Gosh jeeze okay. No so jackie's man jackie's. He's just cool room. The people love their music there. Yeah and you know. Come on john and the staff. There are top yeah. They're so awesome. I think i played certainly have not played jackie's as many times as you guys but i've done probably six or maybe six seven shows there and i've always joy because i grew up on that side of town so my following you know is on that side of town already so it's easier to get them.

"They were so talented. And it didn't matter back in the thirties. Exactly so yeah you and there were probably some people that were like a rare articles by christopher cross. You know he was remember. That's how you won a grammy. He was at whatever year that was that was it san antonio boy and he always talks about how he just. It was right before the visual era. And he just isn't a. I mean he's just a dude as a good looking guys abnormal looking guys. He's fingers you're out of his head but he i mean and these are his words. I'm not saying but he said he was just a little. That was just that era and then you had that magical weird time where it all worked like a youtube good looking people. The police Duran duran i mean you can say what you want about duran but those guys took their that was. They were serious about that. Know so it all worked kinda worked together but that was when the visual you know again. The that's where you're saying like when we grew up it was not the visual part of it was something but it wasn't all you now. You can almost kind of almost always think about that for sure. You almost can't separate it at all and you'd always hear about i remember. I gave a great example. We went and saw the cars. This was like the candy. Oh album came out and we love the cars and these are like all musician buddies who use other great so we go see him in austin and we had no idea they were like a chick ban they were like benjamin order like the most beautiful creature ever said and these women are just like. We didn't know at all really. This is the have that appeal. We think about that. You know so it wasn't that we were disappointing. But you're just like okay. I guess right but it's true. I mean it's just a and everybody makes it's about the i dunno performance or it's about sincerity. You look like a guy like rick springfield you think of being more about image than music right man they. Nobody's more serious about music than rick springfield he. He's he lives and dies. Songwriting you he just pretty man. He's a rockstar. Have you ever go see rich. Springfield live even if you're not a fan but it's on a great show. God you guys should be. I think the media has taken it. I mean you look at american idol and the voice. you know. there's some fantastic singers that are like you said. Have a face for radio but when i think when these people are signing talent you have to have the appeal to. I think that's part of it is part of the marketing of the music. And here. here's a crazy thing. Is i see a lot of The the artists that i follow on instagram specifically and some of the female artists. Every picture you see on post on instagram is almost like it's like a glamour shot and how about how about singing a song or your musician. So and so music. How about singing a song and showing us your talent. I don't yeah you you're beautiful and everything but it's like that has preceded the whole talent thing. I'm beautiful but oh i play a little guitar too ended tricky. I mean it's again. I don't i don't know i mean everything's just different. You know music in general consume so differently than it used to be. Yes that was. That's the thing that. I think being older that i just i would never pretend to be some kind of historian like a kept track of it. But i've seen it. I actually have played music since there was nothing like that. I mean i remember the first time i saw four track recorder. You know up until now was actually create an album with no one. So i've seen i've been in. I've lived in an interesting transitional time and has kinda done it the whole time. A lot of people will either adapt or die or just quit doing it. Because it's not the way they want to do it so they say i wanna do it anymore. Yes or or some people adapt. They don't really get good at it until they adapt like i don't know how to say this but like i have friends that were not that are like in production now and they really kept up with the technology and now they have jobs and they're doing stuff but they might not have the best year they just knew exactly to run the machine. The best you know guys didn't talk real quick to the listeners about bands that were pre wrapped ranch where what can't do in pre pre right ranch and i know you are with ranch a long time but what happened was it was every. I think everybody has a weird. They think their stories weird. But i i play in the emotions which was a fantastic group like fifteen and sixteen because those guys were all like twenty. I'd been in like high school band. And when i and the where the way that's relevant. I mean like i'd been in groups of people trying to create music. I've been in jazz ban stuff like that. So the first rule band. I was in was a bunch of big country. Boys from shire. Do don't do that. And i think when you're fifteen or sixteen that's what you need. You need somebody kind of telling you know man. Don't you know it's like the old a lot of my most respected musicians. I've ever play with kind of said the same thing. And when i say respected i mean guys that were way. More talented than me and had a lot more complex than they. They would all a few of them have said to me. My one of my best. My best friend. David simpson when we we grew up playing together and he played piano and i play guitar and i learned a lot every pretty much everything i knew about music up until we quit working together all from david and are just from having a communicate with them but he was a great musician and he could play anything but he would say something like no. It's not can you play it. It's should you play. Yes and i think. I learned not that i always knew what the play. I would never pretend that i ever learned that lesson but i just was all. I was from a very early age. Like the i bands our was in our in. I was in those guys were they were. They didn't let you just do whatever you want it. You know and i think you kind of need that when you say maybe not everybody but i already kind of jammed already kind of gotten that out of my system that you know just doing. I'm gonna just do what. I wanna do right at a very early age kind of gotten past that yes and i kinda immediately had already thinking in that one guy playing something awesome or like when you're talking about like the voice or american idol. You see one person doing something in the they've spent a million hours and they're really really good at it and it's impressive. There's no doubt about it. But i was always more impressed. You know by everyone. Doing you know like a band like us. Because it's rarer to this day it's rare you go see a band and you know i've said this and i don't know i'm probably not the first person to say but five guys all playing the same song as an that's doesn't mean it's a ban and even when i was in for thirty years i like we'd all be on the same page and just it just couldn't have been better four guys or even five and then a month later it was just horrible. It's not even a lot of it's just timing. You know and people's attitudes at the time but so before range they're really. I kinda had quit. I really wasn't doing it at all. And then when that started back up the philosophy was this. I don't know if this is a good win or not but was no plan. B like these. I already had a job. And i was doing something. So the guys that wanted to start this ban. We're doing anything. So i was like okay. I'm going to quit what i'm doing. I'm gonna quit working with my dad. I'm gonna give all this up. That i know is money in my bank account to do this. So everyone's gotta do it for a living. At least we'll have that in common. Yeah you know that if we don't all agree on everything we at least all have to make a living doing this some common. No plan b if you have a plan b. go do plan b. Yeah and in my life and that was one of the advantages to get into it. I wasn't a kid. That point a kid but i was my late twenties so i kind of approach it'll differently. I didn't it was like it's not gonna fail. It's just not yup. I i i've done things long enough and done enough research and gone and seen other bands ago. Okay i know what works what doesn't work and the one thing i learned or not that i learned but i i noticed right away was you can't create something that's not there and what i mean by that like like you had your ford especially when it's a small band like four or five guys. They're going to do what they do And they're gonna all have strengths and weaknesses. Got a play to those. Yeah you can't hire like if your keyboard player leaves. You can't fill that guy's roles exactly. It was correct so we would always adapt like every time we would lose a member or change it. Would you know what does that guy do. You know exactly what he does and whatever he does good. That's what we're gonna do. Well ranch formed by think back and eighty nine. Is that correct. And what did the original lineup look like for it was drums bass guitar and keywords in Everybody's saying for guys. You know like. I said were in victoria so we would travel. You know we get a gigging corpus. We get in austin so we had a lot of places to choose from. Yeah and it was a different again. I'll say this a lot. It was just things were different than there. Were probably more fulltime. I want to say fulltime bands. There were there. Were more bands back then without a doubt because more people just went out to see bands like you could go up and down the yon- sixteen austin do thousands of people out every night of the week. Not just the weekends. I mean you. Probably inserted. Sunday at maggie maze. And there'd be four hundred people so there was a mechanism to keep those bands working. Yup you know. How would you say that the set list. The song choices changed when i think the original singer was mark is that it was me and malcolm our original. While it was the three of us was pretty even look at when mark russell joined that was a fifth guy okay and he and he became more of a lead singer just because we kinda felt like we he was a he played guitar too but we kind of had felt like we needed that like we needed a more of a focus in just something to sing lead. Yeah that's kind of the way it happened but really with mark on a personally. I mean i wanted mark in the ban because he was just so serious about it. Yeah i mean he was serious and he still is. He's one of those guys that i knew that. I don't bands are tricky. I mean they're like any other relationship. They're they're very very complicated. But i've always felt like if you had at least have two guys. They're really really on the same page. Yeah you can. You can drive the drive. The ship that way. Well i was just curious. Like 'cause i remember when mark was with the band. If my memory serves me correctly there was quite a bit of things. Like sticks. And i remember rush. Yeah and and then he left and it went four piece. I think yeah and then some of those songs fell out. And i'm assuming i mean. Of course you have to adapt to what the the lead vocalist is capable of being right. They can't pull off every artist golota in that particular case We're doing. we're doing originals. Into so we were thinking in along those lines but also you know everything kind of runs. Its course like it sounds funny but there was a time whenever mark was in the band when that kind of music like now i have abandoned some seventies rock man. That's all we plays that kind of stuff but at the time you know there weren't a lot of bands at did that and that's kind of why we wanted. We thought you know what we like. Some of our favorite music we wanna play journey and russian and stuff so we kind of got him. In the band do that and he became. It wasn't a novelty but we did pretty well if the band was suited to doing that kind of stuff you know people really liked it. We did it and we were playing a lot so when he left in some of those songs. Kinda got retired and this through. Nobody's planning this is just highness happen. We had to learn a lot of new songs and we had a lot of learning more current sauces. We play anything current for a while so we were learning like blink one eighty two and all of a sudden that was when it was a big deal will. The reaction was huge to that because all of a sudden they're all my god i'm people are not they're never going to tell you they don't like what you're going to do with playing that song but when we did quit they're all my god. I'm so playing that now and it's just so much better. It wasn't better. No it's just different different. Yeah and So yeah we just kind of had again because we had to adapt to yes. I think Later on scott holding join our band and he was a like a kind of a. He's a great singer but he could sing like that kind of he added that to kinda high screaming voice. He could do a lot of stuff. We can do audio slave stuff like that and that's when it was a big deal so we adapted and we started doing stuff you just have to have to win and i think that that's a great segue into walking into the now with current bands you know. Let's talk about those so you have shotgun road you have the still newman do. Oh you have Mr wonderful you have diamond jack which happens to be my favorite of all of them. I just maybe. I'm just a seventies kind of guy that music just resonates with me. Diamond jackson kelly your favorite. Because i do the least well. You heard it first ladies and gentlemen all you listeners. I didn't want to say it but has confirmed the obvious. And i'm just sexy and that s my only purpose every ban has fabrio right. Yeah i think the brel brett brett was it and rat ranch while right and know what happened was again. Those are bands. That kinda they will like. Stacy already had his theory. Won't stacey stills. he's the best man and that was a relationship. That really helped me when i got out orange because he had his vision for his country ban which was classic country. It's like eighty nineties country and that's just as you know what he's really into and we were finding that it was it worked. You know he was right. I mean people like that kind of music. We ended up and with that with our country band. You know there's a lot of how i put this. There's bans is still kind of bill. Say their country band. They'll say us and they still want to try to be like a variety being. They still kind of want to be everything to everybody. Get away from it and that's okay. I'm not. I'm not look. It's if it works for them. I'm not gonna say they're anybody's doing anything wrong. There's no one way to do it but for us. We kinda san thought about it and we're lying you know we like to rock songs and it's all country you know and what we found again. No one's going to come up to you and man you guys suck it when we get any kind of complimentary one of the ones that we get. A lot is over so glad. 'cause y'all just do deaths which do do country right. We're playing in a country bar it's like actual guy can play the wobble. The dj complained that stuff. That's what for that's the point is and i think people kind of took to that and nowadays everything's so pigeonholed. I mean the tribute band thing. People kinda wanna know what they're going to get and i think that's why tribute bands are such a big deal right now. So variety bands are just. You know it's just not like it used to be you know. Play everything like what was cool about that and it was a band of its era. The thing that we did in a rare ranch where we'd probably we did anything right was we didn't man. You never knew what the hell when we play anything. Yeah and that was cool because because it really opened up we can play anything and the only criteria we had in that band was. Can we make it sound. Worth a damn does sound good. Are people going to know it. That's it and i think i'm not gonna say song. Selection is an important because it obviously is. But if there's one thing i kinda learn. I think i've learned but for me it works. Is that the main thing is can you make it sound good. Then the next thing is are people going to kind of know it. I really my kind of know it. i mean. it doesn't have to be the most popular song but they kinda either like your band or they don't they make up their mind pretty quick so even if you're up there playing their favorite music and they don't like you that's actually worse because you more like i can't believe it. I love this song. Why are they playing the song. So and so. What i mean by that is if you have a focus is that seemed to have that seems to have helped with these bands. What we have now is right saying having. We didn't wanna. I don't wanna be an attribute. Man that i didn't wanna be one but i didn't nothing really comes to mind and there's a lot of great tribute band but you know. We started doing the diamond. Jack thing and scott madigan's in that one for my ranch and we started talking about it and we were just kind of like we'll just nothing after one thousand nine hundred eighty man. Let's just keep it all seventies and see what we got at the guys in it just lend themselves to that kind of stuff perfectly exactly worked out great awesome. So would you say that of of the. I think four or five four bands four things. Yeah that's that's three more than i do. Is there one in. It's not a slight on any of the players in any of them. That's not why mask this question but does one of the band's genres register resonate better with you as a musician like the seventies or the eighties. I mean what i mean. It's unique. I get different and i like. I don't know man and everybody's unique mixture of chemicals but like for me. It's i mean. I like playing everything i mean. Always have mean it's just it's fun to be in a good band and you know what it doesn't really matter what you're playing you know. So that's all i care about are they. Do they sound good. You know. I mean and it's fun to play things at different. The country band was it wasn't it wasn't challenging. Because i kind of already knew what the play. And i had to learn. I just had to learn so many songs i wasn't familiar with. That was hardest part of that van. I don't because historically you aren't probably a country country western ever played it. I mean. I like everything and i was growing up. I probably the first people that i saw playing guitar. That i liked country. Guys like glen campbell and jerry. Jerry was as big influence on anybody when i was little because he was having so much. Fun yeah great picker. Everything about him was you. Were just like i want to do that. And i think that's what i'm looking for in a band is just as when you're in a band your job is just creating namath's fear i mean that's i agree with us all you're doing and so i think as long as those every band's doing that and whatever atmosphere is creating that's that's the point of it yup. It didn't that if you're original cover as a matter of doing the same thing really yup and and you touched on it a little bit earlier. You're doing some guitar instruction on your maybe on your own and through the school of raw. Can you do score a couple of days. Do like tuesday saturday. And that's and i love it. It's awesome not a slide against the but mainly because it just right my house so it's so easy to do and then of course i got a tat and you get attached to people and yeah. It's hard to not do it anymore. Not that i would. Never i would ever stop but i i would never do more than that and i'm assuming is just guitar that you're you're you're teaching your thing. I learned there right. you wanna do keyboard. Can you teach keyboards like will again. I yeah i could. But sure i'm not gonna you know well for the listeners are you. Are you taking new. Students are you. Looking for new students allowed really. I know things are picking back up from from covert a little bit and you guys are getting back out on the stage Which is gonna keep you busy but Wanted to make sure that if there were listeners. Out there that were looking for lessons We wanted to make sure to plug how how to find. You rightly the only ones doing privately. That i still do or like songwriting. Housing guys with ryan songs. According i've done a lot of i got a lot of recording on logic since they invented logic. I've been using so so. That's just one of those things where i've given i give There's a buddy of mine in dallas. Soon now we just started out as just friends just working all stuff and now he actually you know actually help him here and there but yeah it's just hard to. It's hard to find time. I i don't want to. I like to work with somebody. That has a specific goal. You know like they're learning. They wanted to get this thing. Done a good friend of ours. It was She wanted to sing in her wedding. You know she had a goal. Want sure absolutely made it cool. Well how long have you been associated with school. Arado about three years four years yeah operation. I mean it's so cool to to see. I mean it's a cool concept and it's it's music in a i don't know how to put it. It's a very it's just a it's just the attitude of it is is good. I think you know dorte like the teamwork and stuff. And i mean it's just a good. It's just a good concept because really to me. Like even when i give lessons for right now i got teenage boys at school rockin and you know they play guitar the rest of their life. You know whatever. I don't you know they're going to end up being whatever they're gonna be but i think anybody. That's i think the best thing that i learned from playing guitar. It's providing with the living and it's been fantastic and absolutely love to do it. Every time i get to go do it but it was. It's a challenge and it you never master it. Yeah like when. I get people lessons. I'm like this is like a rubik's cube with an infinite number of tiles because you're always learning new things about it. And i think anytime you pursue something like that. That's just good for your soul your your character. Especially if you're young like i said like boy saying to me. I was mad at my aunt. Because she said i was. You know she kind of took away the amount of work he put into exactly you know so. Hopefully that kind of work ethic not that i would ever try to teach somebody at work ethic but it the way it was explained to me one time and i thought it was great. Was that if you want to do something because it's fun within play a game on your phone. That stuff is designed to be detained but playing guitar is fun but it's a worthwhile all of the sacrifice you make to do. It is fun is part of it. That's just a part of blink and it's such a weird thing to make a living. Doing something is fine settings. It's like playing sports or something people they never they always kind of. Think it's a phase right when your family liberal up one day ten and cut your hair and get a real job at the you know the the mart or whatever the reason is because when they see what you're doing and you're the ultimate product of it is fun you're in you're putting on a show but they don't realize it all the work. Was you know. Ninety percent of it was not you. Don't see it and going back to the teaching thing. I think you can get kids involved with. I don't have any kids. So what would i know but that shows them that the work is worth it. you know. it's worth the best students are always the ones that have been like a musical theater or band where they're used to like working at it but then we had those kids like a like you have the school rock they put together these shows and you'll have a theme like punk rock or whatever. I don't direct the shows ever but mike mccullough from a diamond. Jackie we're player. He directs them and he always laughs about it to these kids will be like. Oh my god. I'm so sick of this song. You know you don't get to be sick of song That's not your. You can't play it until you're sick of it. You have to teach curbing until repetitive. This whole thing of you. Don't practice until you get it right you practice until you can't get it wrong and i still play stuff wrong constantly because you're still going to mess it up email but if you ever have a kid that's been like a musical theater which being nobody works harder than those people. Yeah who is it. Thirty people making one thing. It's not about how you feel about it. Yeah i agree. And i was always told to. I tried to instill this into my son brandon. Who's playing a lotta shows with me now. You get better. When you collaborate with other musicians and play with other musicians you can be The stevie ray vaughan king in your bedroom right but pushing him out on the stage and it's like a stage fright and it's like you just have to. You have to get out there. You have to experience you have to do it and once you do you look back six months from now and you say to really. Wasn't that big of a deal is just the unknown that we're afraid of and again i think you you hone your talent and you get better when you learn from other people and not. Just stay secluded by herself. And sometimes that's learning what not to do exactly not being negative but it's true. I mean especially like. I've been playing for so long. I mean i've learned more from people that have had to get rid of or you know where on my okay. Why what made that unpleasant. And then i don't wanna do that. Y'all don't be that guy even just something simple like drink or drunk you know i mean i. I never really did. I was never a big drinker. But after i played with guys who were then i was like man. There's i don't wanna be that guy exact thin any unfortunately in in especially in like a local music scene or people that are hobbyists when they're not actual and nothing against people that do as a hobby or they do it part time because they could still do a professional job of it but basically some guys play because they can get drunk. You have a bar tab. Where i'm not even joking about. I mean there are people that have that career because they can be an drinkers drink and might even looking down on. I'm not even. I'm not even looking down. Drinking people are time for drinking. I'm just talking about when it you know affects your performance and they tell themselves a dozen and they rationalize it just like anybody that drinks a lot does but you know like that was the other thing is i would always get. Why would never pretend to know how to run a club or manager book bands or any of that stuff and stuff. I've always kind of dumb. But i would never do it from a living but you know i heard too many club owners complain about those guys. Yeah because we didn't like in romance. We were pretty straight so they'd be like oh my god i mean we were like it when you all your because you don't get drunk and that's just so that's kind of depressing when you think about it. Why would you be praised for something you should do anyway. I know you wanna cookie. Well i never been to prison. Your so they would. They would tell me that. And so i'd hear all. I mean these are really good club owners guys that were did a great job of and own their own club and they would be drunk but they own perogatives. You're you're the employee your hard help. And and that's interesting. You say that. Because i won't mention the name of the place that i play but for a while at this place it was you know all of your food for the musicians was taken care of all all of your dreams. Were taking care of all night long and it got to a point. And i'm like you. I might have a beer here. And there are many of the micro breweries and rarely. Do i go in there. I just. I just don't probably because i don't wanna feel like shit for four days after that even if i drink when but but my point is there was groups and bands that have come in there and abuse that so much that the owner says no more no more. It's like well wait a minute. That was kind of part of my deal. That i worked out with you and now i'm getting stripped of that because somebody else's abuse it so you're always going to have those people i think and then you're never going to get away from that one time Ricky phones a club in tyler rix on the square and he's owned it forever and he's an awesome club. Owner any hardworking guy takes incredible pride and one time and he would be trouble. No no offense. Rick you hear this but brick like to drink at his uncle if he's the host of the party and it was cool but you're on stage plan and i'll never forget one time he said to me. Let me tell you something. He's older and i kind of took. What he said seriously said. No one wants to pay someone to get drum. And i didn't really know i mean i kind of knew what he meant. But he was talking specifically about being club owner and paying a bunch of guys to do a show and in drunk and he and he was dead serious he said man. Nobody there's no boss. That's happy that they're paying you and you're getting drunk on their job even if it's that job that they're not happy well it can be humiliating to the bar owner if you if you have a group in there that is underperforming. And they're amusing the well. I think it's it's. I don't know everyone has their own opinion. And i don't like i said i i in my experience you know i've played with guys in that you know. Will they kind of drink or they don't drink are they. This whatever and generally speaking if someone tells you econ we're kind of getting back into that area of people you wouldn't are you know not to work with and i've had people tell me i mean well i really don't feel like i'm complete until i have a couple of beers and that just right there. I'm like well. I'm never going to play with that guy and i mean and that's just me not being prejudice on but i'm but i know like i've played. I don't want to drag anybody into i. There's guys that i played with that. I play them when they were drinking. I play them. When they weren't touring up. Played with them when they were kinda drinking. And every you know every you can't tell me that they did a better job. When i mean almost exclusively when they weren't they think they think they're doing but what it is but what. I don't even know how we got on this subject but it's a shame that it's become a shame. It's interesting to me that it became intertwined know like banner doing shots and all that and when we were like in the in like when the ranch like during that whole ninety s era when we were playing. We actually traveled quite a bit. But we play like those houston clubs and and those vans party man oh yeah party harsher and we never did it all and you'd have your buddies that are another bands. Yeah we party with the crowd and that's what people like and they like it when you interact with them and all this stuff and we didn't do any of that we didn't talk between songs and no no. I don't mean this. I'm not bragging but we were is big abandoned. There was and so at in that little seen so freedom has to do all those things and it wasn't that we were trying to purposely. Not doing it. And i wasn't even looking down my nose even to this day. If they wanna do that's fine. I'm just talking about me. What worked for us. And what i saw work and it's just it's just weird that became. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the whole drugs and rock and roll. And i don't really know the mistake behind are just that you're in a bar. I think it so well from a from a gig perspective. How many shows a year are you personally. Play in across the across the band's man that's good so weird now thinking about it because last year was so crazy on a on a normal conditions. i mean i'm usually playing optician. Oh not even close. We're only playing three days a week. Now okay yeah me. And i mean i'm playing on pretty much every weeknight. We've knowing off tonight. I'm playing on a thursday. We played last sunday. And what's weird about now as it's real it gets real bunched up like normally like mr wonderful is our eighties man. And it's just three guys and we played a tracks and it's kind of a mtv girl band anyway That vampire plays a most. Because there's only three of us and it's pretty easy to to get. It's easier get three guys together to even just go play the show and then our country ban probably plays the next and then our diamond jacker seventies band. It's five guys more money. It's a bigger deal usually would play like twice a month. Okay well like in april. We have like six shows. He's what i'm saying. So he kind of goes her diamond. Jackie fits and starts. They don't really. they don't really so recently. Probably over the last few months you guys added mike mccullough to the the diamond check lineup. Tell us how that came about. I've known mike for some time and Remembering back from the sister. Mary tarantula day so yeah mike don't mind forever. Actually we're was. Mike was one of the first persons Will we left when we got a ranch me in scour talking about doing something and he's one of the first people we call and then is just didn't really and then paul byron was playing with us and he just he was done. He didn't wanna do anymore. corner do whatever he needed to do and so it was a man. It was a no brainer. You know he's just one of those guys. You can play guitar it saying. He's so talented. So that was one of the easiest like okay transition. Yeah i mean we. I a little bit and and we need to rehearse more ban is the one that's hard and it's like deceptively hard because you think you know those songs because you played them so often and then you'll be in the middle of the show going Wait a minute. Is it not here and so we were. We gotta rehearse before our next. We did a show on saint patrick's day and we hadn't played in a while. And we probably should've i and of course it's not again. It's one of those that whole perception like people can't really tell if you just kinda smile and get through it. Ninety percent of the people can't tell you did it but it's kind of a confidence unit you know when you do it on your the thing about the thing. That's weird like the big difference with ranch to. We played two hundred shows a year. You know four days a week sometimes five days a week so like mistakes happened but you immediately got to fix them right away your next day. You're like alligator tomorrow things. And what was weird for me. Was going to these bands like when stacy and i start playing together like it was country one night and then it was A rock and it was it was different and you play a show would just kind of fluff something up and it sucked because it would like you was on your mind for the next three. We can't wait to do that. Against like can make up for that. When i stunk the place up with that you know. are you. See the video. And you're like oh my god. I can't sing that anyway. I got some different right. There and the other thing was really. What's been a challenge for me. Personally i have a terrible memory. Anyway is just lyrics man. I used to 'cause i you know. We used to do song so often. They memorized them in a week. You're done playing him so much that you neum right away and these bands on my me and do i gotta do the ipad. I get you hated do it. But you didn't have a choice you know. I mean you just had to do it. So i have to do is sometimes and what sucks about that is. And that's just me. But i can tell when i'm reading. I can listen recording until you. That's yeah i had to look on. Alvar can hear me. I can't sing in tune anyway. So i don't need something else. Any other distract. If it's any consolation. I was at compaq center and i was watching. I had tickets to see cheap trick aerosmith and it was maybe to my surprise. Maybe surprised me all that much. But i noticed that there were teleprompters off. They look like wedges. The stage and steven tyler is reading the teleprompters. And what does that. Tell us that this guy has been singing. The songs for forty five fifty years ago and rodent still doesn't can't remember. Wait which i went before the Favorite teleprompter story my good friend. George olson used to be the sound engineer for george strait. You know he was the guy right. So george strait has a teleprompter bagel teleprompter right. So he's he's details story about how he doesn't look at it. You don't notice george strait. It doesn't seem like he ever looks at it and they see him on the big screen they say you know george olsen's done hundreds of shows with him but if it goes out he gets all look at it and i'll tell you it's become somewhat of a crutch for me but here's what happens with the teleprompter is you learn how to look at it and it's more of a place like okay. I'm here and it's a glance at it. It's not like you're not reading it like you're reading a book but you're you're saying okay. That's the next you know when you progression. Yeah exactly and with me with us like in like diamond. Jack and our country band is all live tracks. We we don't vary very much but we might change. Something might get changed or whatever but if somebody messes up no big deal but in our eighties band man. We got keyboard tracks and percussion and like we did in him. And you can't mess up no you can't and when people make kind of look down their noses you playing with tracks normally. It's people that have never done it. You know 'cause it's hard and it's and it's nerve-racking wool rhythm. The tempo of the song is everything. Because you can't like slow or speed the track upper armor do it but yeah but that's the one where you like. You have to have a notes because you're like okay does three times and then and then what's funny you'll get mad at like the guy that wrote you know. Relax by. Frankie goes to hollywood. Like why did he added measure. You're like mad at the guy stupid all of a sudden you're some sort of critic about like the one that always cracks me up is a and it's even like really mechanical mod very mechanical stuff sequence everything but their arrangements are always a little weird. Yeah there's a spot where they leave a measure out or do something like those sons vigia mad at him watch ally because now it's not a standard track. Two year i'd the blue felt at the time they only do three. Those what does kent newman do. When you're not on stage or their hobbies pets like sleep. I have a fantastic wife. She's awesome and we spend as much time together as possible remarried for twenty years. What guy what was the anniversary day. Look dude no no. We're not recording the recorders offer more bad about her move on a ryan broadcasts for a long time. So you know she's gonna listen to this and tell me oh. You should've gotten closer the my day while. She's married to me so she's used a disappointment her expectations or an all time low. At this point right is the same way like thirty one years. We've been married. Yeah there's no expectations like people will ask her how she just she'll do that thing where it's like not really answering. It's like a no. I can neither confirm or deny. No she's awesome and we got to spend a lot of time not to the during this whole thing. It was actually. We had a great time. Because i was gone so much of our relationship traveling. Yeah that we really like being together. So that's cool but hobbies. I read a lot. I mean i. I read a lot and Dr seuss your favorite stuff for. Anybody says it's bad for me. That's what i i read a lot. I mean i as much as i can. But i have you know i do a lot of music. I'm usually doing something and it. I enjoy it. I mean there's never. There's not a lot that i have to do that. Feels light hama amadou busy work or i gotta go. Get this radio yeah. It's usually fun her you know. I mean they're things. I'm up against like learn a song or to do something for a song or prepare a lesson from somebody but did very rarely as like just. Oh my god. I do some studio work sometimes and sometimes that's a little you know because will happen is somebody will ask you to do something especially during the When i wasn't playing much in somebody we've got a couple of friends at work in studios all over the country and they'll calls a he man. Can you do this. Can you get all the noise out of these tracks and now we go absolutely. This is something to do. Yeah i do that not knowing what it involved. Yeah so they send man you gotta charge by the hour and you're like there's no way i can charge them. How long this actually me. It took me four hours just to figure out. I'll do it right right so there was a lot of that going on but yeah i don't really ever had to do. They don't want to. I'm a lucky lucky guy. I mean it's the it's been cool. I guess since. I was in the same band for so long. And the thing about the range you got to be a grind mainly just be run. I think having all your eggs in one basket time business. That got hard. Will you definitely have it. Spread out now. And i was going to ask you. Let's see let me let me think about that before. I say it. So mr wonderful diamond jack. So yeah i mean for the most part. Except the duo. All of the band's are generous pacific. Have you guys ever talked about recording your own music as part of those genres like doing doing some country songs or doing some seventy sounding song recorded a lot of stuff originally on his own and we probably will. It's just a weird deal. you don't do. An original music is is writers. Right if you create your doing it you don't think about it. You gotta be a songwriter. You know you just do it or you. Don't do it so when you have a band like with me. I write songs and record them all time. I'll do it for myself. And i have a weird like i'm one of those. I'm not really just dying on my god here. What you got to hear what i did. I usually ride a again kind of get him out of my system just because i wanted to get them recorded. But i'm not like just dying to everybody's got to hear this and then nothing wrong with people that feel that way just the way i am if i really if i'm gonna write a song because i can't not i mean it just. It just has to be done right right. So at this point the reason recorded anything with any of those vans really is the kind of just kind of keep people listening or kinda maybe generate some also thought about it because most dip and i could be you can correct me if i'm wrong but i think well maybe a lot of you guys do that for a living. Music is a living and i'm just thinking about it from a monetize perspective. It's another source of income. You know how i mean. I believe me. I work on projects for people all time. That actually make money in their ryan music and it's soon i don't know that it's a source of income for anybody. You know what i'm saying. Change to me. It's like you're really doing it. You know even like again we. We didn't really really get into this but you know things the way people consume music is first of all very personal every person they had their own thing. But it's just different. I mean like now like if you went back to one thousand nine hundred seventy eight. When everything was based on album sales you know like guys would tour so you would go by their album. Because that's what they were going to make labour supporting the writer and now finally shifted to performance. Where now they have to go play. Kevin fowler's gotta go performed to make money. The recording is just to keep his name in front of people. yeah. I don't know that he's really not goblets kevin fowler. I'm not bad mouthing the guy in the least he's a he's awesome. Yeah but when he records yeah. I don't know if he's making any money on those recordings or i don't know i mean he. I hope he does. I know for a fact like Listing something about like air johnson. Johnson's incredible you know money record. Music sure is only making money performing. He's as good as it gets like. Joe bonomo talks about that all the time. He records just so that he has material. But it's all about put in the face of somebody It's it's kinda. That's again and i don't know it's a weird mon- whenever we start doing every start talking about money always kind of glaze over anyway because of male living in an and make good money and i. I can't do it just because it's going to make me some money. Oh no it has to be You know from the heart does love what you're doing sin sincere. I guess sure. I mean even like we're in ranch you know there was so much back in the day. There was a lot of private parties. And we never did that. There's so much money we didn't make because we'd do one wedding and go. Oh my god. They're gonna pay us like five thousand dollars. Oh my god. This is so great and we'd be so excited and then right in the middle of it we'd be like let's never do the again brian. I don't care how much they're paying and then a month later you go do it again. So it's hard to get motivated to do something just because it's gonna make money but at the same time. Don't get me wrong. You know we have to promote ourselves. We have to you got to keep keep things in front of people. And i think that's our good reason and we've actually just started talking about recently. Mike written a lot of songs we have tons of material. And yeah i imagine we will record something because i can do it at my house. Pretty easy I'm trying to cut back on other things that i'll we'll have time to do that. Specifically what you said. We should. And i think i think people and the way people consume music like. I don't know why people put out albums anymore. I mean really. Everyone only bites off one song at a time any. It's not like it was back in the day where you bought an album a lot of times. The album was conceptual. You know coward concept album or whatever not only but it's the it's the delivery system. Isn't it like now. you can look at know spotify. That's how many times people listen to you know like you don't know how many albums led zeppelin sold. But i don't know how many times people listen to right. I mean it's a completely different way of keeping track of thing agree. It's almost impossible to compare. Now what's crazy about is like if you went back to one thousand nine hundred ninety eight and found somebody that was just getting into music and you had like had an iphone from the future and you said this. This is how many millions of people are listening to music. You would think. Oh my god the music business is going to be bigger than ever was and it's just not it's not just the because the delivery systems is different. There's not a mechanism to create rockstars. Like there was on radio. Yup not like there was and it's just it's just different. I don't again i don't ever wanna be those wounds to be better. It's just different if you go. I was showing a kid a video the other day it was it was a peter frampton right like the texas jam or something right and there's one hundred thousand people and there's little bit peer. Nobody even you can't even tell who it is. He's so far away and everybody's there for because it's the event and there listening to his songs. There's not even a jumbotron there. Isn't that what you were there. Four there was but it was so cheesy definition to it at all. So you didn't even know what you look. There's no way that many people would go to see something like that. It's just it's just different. It's not better or worse it. It is we'll probably record some. It's so easy to record now that there's really not a good reason not to well. No you could almost produce in your your own home if you know what you're doing same quality that you're going to get an a. On music row in nashville. Right the ranch thing we did. I recorded all of it at my house. Most other than some vocals and some other stuff and ernie wells helped us out along. I mean it's not a it's easy you know what's interesting to me about that. Is i remember every technology step. Like i'm like when drum machines became a thing right nearby is like oh my god you know. They're gonna. They're going to replace drummer so they're going to Now everybody's gonna make an or four track recorders came out now. My everybody's going to record stuff and they didn't. Yeah it was available. But i think the number of actually motivated talented people has kind of stayed the same otherwise we would be just inundated. I would think with stuff. You know what i mean. You have to be pretty motivated last brad. Think of all the stuff all the motivation. He had to have to go to all of those steps and everybody all and they'll beal could've done that. Well you could have done that but did you do it. It's the same thing as watching a performer. Like if you go to a coffee shop and you see a guy. And he's got a tip jar and he's up there and he's got a speaker on a stake in. He's hammering through a bunch of songs there so many musicians. It'll be like i. I could do that matter. Or you know or look down their nose but that guy is doing it yeah. There's a lot that he had to do to get to that point and you have to hand it to somebody that got that far with it. Yeah i mean it's not again just because you can do. It doesn't mean you're going to be able to do what a lot of people don't know is the same amount of work goes into that. That goes into being in a band. You have to show you have to learn the songs you have to you have to deliver the songs you have to load and load out. I mean there's no there's no difference just one person versus four people right. That's nearly the big difference from that and it's just that that that's probably the kind of the nature of allow musicians. It's very easy. I guess look down your nose if anything alcohol. I could have done that or i. Well yeah you but whatever excuse exactly. It's kind of like guys that he played sports in college professional. It's kind of the same thing that doesn't really mean anything. It just you know you got to have respect for anybody that goes to that much trouble to perform well and i told my son brandon when i started finally getting him kick in the pants to get out and play some shows with means a great lead guitarist. I said brandon. Keep in mind that if there's one hundred people in this place tonight ninety nine point seven of them cannot do what you do jerry and if they could they would be like you said they would be were. Winter show wins your next show her spirit critic but yet where you booked again. When's your next show is kind of the mindset the other part of that or the guys that actually do play a lot and still act like it's no big deal kind of look down their nose at the at the actual activity they're doing like oh we're just gonna get up there and you know we gotta sit in bass player and we're just gonna like why go to all that trouble and you know what i'm saying. Finish not take it to the next eiger i. That's another thing is like if you're gonna do it if you're going to be a cover like they're in a cover band but then they look down their nose a cover band doing the same. That's the call the kettle that. But there's no okay. Look everybody gets tired of a song or tired of doing everything. It doesn't matter what you do. You're going to get tired of anything you get fatigued but the fact of the matter is really part of your job as a professional musician. If that's what you're trying to be is to kind of make that sincere in new again. Sure you know that you know. I mean yeah. I'm tired of hearing sweet home alabama. But that doesn't mean it's not a fantastic songs act has nothing to do. It's still a know hotel california's a masterpiece i get. I wouldn't listen to it on the radio but that is just because of my perception of it doesn't make it any less awesome. I agree with that. So let's real quick. Let's talk about on the the gear you use on stage. Is there a goto guitar for you know you played multiple ones. But is there one working guitar. That i'm more right now. I have to tars for each band. You know like the two. I take just for that show or they all different guitars different guitars for every show. 'cause like in my country band play telecasters eighties ban. I play those guitars are a little hall because everything kind of had that sound. Even if it wasn't rock and roll it had that kind of pushed sat down my seventies bands. And celeste paul mistrial. And they're kind of vintage e so you know there. It's pretty much different tools for different bands but use the same. I use a practical exit amp. I don't have a real anthony more. And what about. What about from a potter pedal percents okay. It's it's everything it's young it's all the effects and what's cool about that is with three different bands. It's all three different. Everything's completely program for. That's that's really cool. And is there a guitar string of choice. That is your go to or do you just put whatever if certain gauge or abuse da. Just because i've always used them. That's an uncoded stirring right. I have no idea pretty fast. I do know that. I like the balanced tension strings. That's a news of any kind of weird are not weird but like the newest technology that just i guess over the past few years. I do like those. Yeah i don't know why. And i play lighter strings now when i was in play. Eleven or twelve rookie. Now i don't i just don't wanna work that hard. It's an ask beaten on the fingers right. I play a lot like in our country band. I play the most leads. So that's when. I went to lighter strings because i play the guitar all night and then also and i'm like well just put this on all of them so there's a couple of songs that you guys need to learn for. Diamond jack yeah. Yeah i'm i'm giving you that's right But it was funny. Because i had one on here and when i went to see you guys not too long ago. You're you're actually doing that song so to act like i'm putting it on my phone but i'm just looking cat video. Okay so caleb. I'm marie million eighty s. okay miss. Oh yeah ali by donnie. Our well so it's Yeah so well. And i don't. I don't really care which ban does say. Let let me clarify doing both of those songs. I'm pretty sure yeah see. I'm not so dumb after all again. Okay go for a soda by kim mitchell. That would be a great long. There was a band that did they redid that song. Kind of a weird not weird. It's not weird at all. It's kinda that modern kind of con- is kind of but it sounds really really good one Baby come back by player would be a good one from for diamond jack and maybe how long by ace. That was pretty cool. We've always wanted to do not always in what i'm saying but one thing we've talked about doing stacy's a huge like yacht rock. He loves stuff right and we were like me. If there was ever band not that we would start a whole nother project but we thought maybe some kind of diamond. Jack yacht rock ny talk especially now with mike being such a. He's such a great piano player. You know and there's so many of those songs that lynn themselves that like we started doing what a fool believes. Oh yeah grind the stuff that we do know. It's kind of yacht rocky. What a full believes ride like the wind. You and i can't remember. There's lonesome loser kind of have that kind of relaxed kind of. Yeah so yeah. That's good stuff though for sure. That's my prediction. I think next. I know there are a couple of bands and there's even like a national axe there white yacht rock bands. But i have a feeling that's going to be the next. That'd be cool. Did those radio stations are like the most popular one The yup smooth sailing. I agree with you outside of the four bands. We talked about any new projects coming up band wi no way doug monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday and sunday. I mean we're on when else can you. Can you work so moving right along. I we're going to wrap here pretty quick. Because i know you have a show at mahoney's tonight in the woodland's great place. We saw mr wonderful play out there to what two or three weeks ago. Charity came out and brattleboro came out. Yep and what about where the listeners can find you and the band on social media. Well there under the names. All the band's diamond jack Mr wonderful chugging road and then also there stacey actually we still have a website of your remember those but it's space space city band dot com just dot net. I believe i. I love to be stumped go ahead. Let's look what it says. No space city bands dot com. Isn't okay well now. The dumb ass. That's all right. i had. I didn't even know so. I looked like all of his his solo gigs. He got tired. Because stacy keeps it all together man. He's engine and he does. That's what i don't understand. He does like you know plays bass in one band. Plays guitar on one band plays drums really. So yeah well you got. Everybody has to have that guy in the man. that's good though. Because you feel like a slacker. He keeps everybody on track. So let's do some quick fire questions. Then we'll get out of here. So beatles stones beatles van halen or hendrix van halen here you go summer or winter winter. Tv or radio. I don't really listen to roy tv. Because i don't even listen to the radio. Tell everybody i turned it off in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine. There's i guess. What does that perfect vacation. Oh my god with my wife really. We can have fun. Not even going these meghan orlando we can edit that part out but we gotta get right digs lovely wife beth new and there you know. Yeah anything with hers. Good strat or telecaster man. There was a time. When i would've said strat immediately but of had the play on telecaster so much more proud stratton heartbeat man. Because you can kind of make a strat almost damn near anything if you play if you have the one and you've played it long enough. Yeah it's hard to be man. What about les. Paul or strength. I even a i like my i have. I thought it was a les. Paul guy for so long and i had know how many owned will a lot less balls but i have one. It's a less paul custom that i and it's like if you had if i had to have a favor. Guitar probably is my favorite guitar. But it doesn't really sound like any other les paul. So i think that's what would happen is that was my. It's real bright and twangy. And every time i would get less. Paula just sounds dead to me. Because i was comparing it to that. Yeah so there's a saying that as you get older you want a less paula. Sounds like a telecaster and telecaster. This sounds like a les paul and what that means you want a telecaster. You want something. That's twangy enough like a les paul. That hasn't of twang where you can actually hear the notes and a telecaster. You don't want it so twenty. You don't hear you want to kind of beefy right. So yeah but yeah. I love my les paul. i'm it. I'm not much of an electric guy but i'd through my sons over my shoulder not too long ago his les paul and i couldn't believe how heavy that guitar is different. Mazing kinda heavy. I don't know wait. What wait some guy's lighter tar sound better than having. I know 'cause. I've heard bad sounding heavy guitars and ray sounding heavy guitars. I do guitars. That are a little heavier. I don't like super super guitar. Just throws me off. I used to have gym. That sounded really good. But maybe i don't know what is made out of but it was just too light. I just could not play well early. Bird or night owl. How favorite place to play and you can plead the fifth on that If you like. Because i know sometimes we don't want to hurt the places that we play feeling like i really like playing jackie's brickhouse because all of our bands play there. So that makes it cool. And i've just i've known john the gm forever and maybe just comfort zone. Yeah i know what to expect. Charlie's a good guy. And i think i think you know when if you don't john john and i were best friends forever and live together for a while. Oh yeah john and cairn cairns great awesome. Yeah we we did a lot of bad things together. And that's another podcast for for another time. How 'bout favorite song to play live. And i don't think i have one probably the bieber tunes. They just all kind of come and go if it sounds good man. I don't care what it is. You know if you're if it's a song you don't even there are times when you learn a song because just everybody else wanted to learn and you're like oh man and then you play it in san and he's not even crowd reaction none of that. You just sound so good. You're like yeah. We should've yup. That was a good move formal training or play by ear. I don't think there's a difference in a way. I don't think formal. I don't think you have to choose in a way. Because i don't know. Let me put it this way. I don't know anyone who ever had a really good ear. Who didn't benefit from some training. Does that make any sense like well. I think we're i'm going. My question is if you put four quarter notes on staff right right and you ask a musician. Eight of them would probably tell you. I have no idea what that means right. So that's what. I mean by formal training a theory trained or play by ear and i would say i'm a hybrid of reith right. The older i get it sounds weird. The more i kind of because the thing about theory and when i give lessons there's theory and practical theory. I agree and i'll get like these young guys especially only about modes and i'm like why don't you don't even know how to spell that work. I mean a lot of a lot of your trump. i mean a lot of Theories kind of reverse engineering life. As like the suzuki method when they teach those little biddy three year old kids how to play violin. Everyone has to learn by ear. I think anyways. That's what i meant by the difference. You have to learn how to play by ear. Oh i don't think you have a choice. So i think it's weird. You get those guys at that. Look down their nose at like somehow. Musical theory is going to make them less of a musician. Ridiculous that's like being a rider and going okay. I know all the words i need. I don't need to learn any. I don't even extend my vocabulary at all. That's ridiculous you gotta have as many tools in your toolbox as you possibly can. Yeah i never and you'll never have it figured out otherwise you won't ever evolve as -sition and you you have to get to that point where you do realize that were there's no you unlearn -able. Yeah there's no amount that's going to make you the best or whatever. Yeah and you never endless how it's endless always. There's always stuff. I learned and i go which i would've known that before. Wow look i can do that. Also exactly number one influential musician or band queen. What by when you're talking about formative years and it would be. Yeah no doubt about it. Yeah i mean everything about exactly. They're all of the camaraderie the combination of people coming together and making something greater than any individual. You know you had those guys. They were also good. And then you had freddie mercury who is and that's it l. another planet you. He really was Emotionally The way everything everything about what he did was amazing. Yeah i agree. They were phenomenal ban. And i think the older. I get the more i enjoy them. They're kind of like the stones. I never was into the stones early. But i've really grown to love their music on years and everything has a different perspec- you have different perspective but that is definitely one where every time i go back and i'm like okay. Yeah that was. do you think well. Maybe i was a kid and it wasn't that great exactly. What was the one. The i used to really be in the ted nugent house. Look and you know. I got out of it. Exists gotta y like that just seems like something you outgrow. Wanna thank against. I love him. You know what i'm saying. He just that was the way i felt the time. Now listen to this. So i went and listened to came remember. I think it was like the free for all album and it was so good like it's me loaf singing on it and you're like wow this is really good you know. That's another great artist. Yeah sometimes you go back and it's horrible. What the hell was i thinking. But why you go yeah. That was pretty bad. He is the motor city madman for sure last question.
