Speaker 1: nine demographic or what's your what's your demo?
Speaker 2: I'm really shocked. I'm very big with the college crowd. Yes,
Speaker 2: soon I understand that. But maybe it's because of the
Speaker 2: music that I'm playing and I'm in tune with them. Yes,
Speaker 2: I do have a following with the young people who

Speaker 2: just not me. I'm a simple guy. I'm a regular citizen.
Speaker 2: And I'll have to get I'll have to grow out
Speaker 2: of it, I guess, but I'll never forget who I am,
Speaker 2: and I'll always think of the people first.
Speaker 1: Always think of the people first. Remember your roots. You know,
Speaker 1: you see the same people on your way down that
Speaker 1: you saw the way up. Yeah, So that's important.
Speaker 2: Here's a question for the audience. Yes, when I do
Speaker 2: the dance, the last dance, it's by Daniel BETTIPETI I
Speaker 2: don't know if I'm pronouncing that right, but uh, and
Speaker 2: I do it in English, parts of it in French,
Speaker 2: and then the last paragraph is done in a different language,
Speaker 2: and no one's figured out which language it is yet.
Speaker 2: At the end of the show, I will tell.
Speaker 1: You so you but you saved that part for the
Speaker 1: last paragraph of the song.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's specific.
Speaker 1: Yes, I understand. Okay, So what would you like to perform? First?
Speaker 1: For us, We'll let Glenn.
Speaker 2: Come what may from from the uge.
Speaker 1: Now, for people watching the video, I should explain because
Speaker 1: they're about to see something unusual that they don't see
Speaker 1: typically on the program. I'm going to actually turn this
Speaker 1: monitor toward you so they I believe it's pronounce mulan rouge.
Speaker 2: Correct. Yes, I'm French.
Speaker 1: Yes, because you said it like like some people, you
Speaker 1: know lame is that they pronounce it less miserables because they.
Speaker 2: Don't know is it up? Yes, French.
Speaker 1: Yes, you're French, so you know you know the right
Speaker 1: way to and.
Speaker 2: You'll find that I really am French. At the point
Speaker 2: that they say, oh, he really rolls his ours.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people, I can't roll my rs.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know any any French really, I know like
Speaker 1: we we, I know like uh we we.
Speaker 2: Uh pepee pooh pooh, oh my god.
Speaker 1: That's about it. Okay. So so what we're gonna do is,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna start the song and then going to
Speaker 1: as quickly as I can. I'm going to turn the
Speaker 1: monitor towards you so that you can read the lyrics.
Speaker 1: Do you are are any of the songs that you
Speaker 1: do live? Have you memorized the paragraphs as you say?
Speaker 2: Yes, some of them?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: The thing is is that right now in my right
Speaker 2: eyes eight line oh and uh and I uh and
Speaker 2: I know about a thousand songs, and at my age,
Speaker 2: you're not going to know a thousand songs by heart.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 2: So that's a handicap for me, and so I'm using
Speaker 2: it as my benefit for me to perform I need
Speaker 2: in case if I get the words, they're there.
Speaker 1: I was recently reading a study about neurology and memory
Speaker 1: and so forth, and apparently the uh, it's estimated the
Speaker 1: average musician is able to memorize somewhere between nine hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty and nine hundred and seventy five songs. So
Speaker 1: if you're going for a thousand, yeah, you're kind of
Speaker 1: you're you're over the you're over the cap. I read
Speaker 1: that online somewhere, so obviously it's true. Okay, let me
Speaker 1: get the volume up here. So I'm going to start
Speaker 1: the song, and as quickly as I can, I'm gonna turn.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn this monitor, and then we'll be ready
Speaker 1: to go. If you are just joining us, we have
Speaker 1: will let Glenn the artist, am I said? Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it the artist will let Glenn? Or is it
Speaker 1: will let Glenn the artist? Or does it matter?
Speaker 2: Well, Glend the artist is fine.
Speaker 1: And is there a comma involved or a dash or
Speaker 1: how do you? Okay, just will let lend the artists?
Speaker 2: Okay, I will tell you that I do my own
Speaker 2: special effects.
Speaker 1: You do special effects?
Speaker 2: Yes, you'll hear.
Speaker 1: It like like like you make noises?
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh I do like instruments, Oh uh I I do.
Speaker 2: I do an opening, a closing.
Speaker 5: What they do?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 2: But they do what a normal artist has for the music,
Speaker 2: for the for the for the openings in that the
Speaker 2: middle when it's just music. Yes, I do something, Oh
Speaker 2: you do. I'll need to continue singing, adding my own
Speaker 2: words all my songs at cover songs, okay, which makes
Speaker 2: them my song?
Speaker 1: Right? How do you what's your logic behind that? How
Speaker 1: does that make your song?
Speaker 2: If I ever chose to do an album, m I
Speaker 2: can't use every word it's in that song. That's plasury.
Speaker 2: Oh so I have to use.
Speaker 1: You don't want to commit pleasuring?
Speaker 2: No, I have to do. I have to do a
Speaker 2: cover song.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, first reality, right, I understand. Have you ever
Speaker 1: considered writing your own songs, your own music? You're a
Speaker 1: creative guy.
Speaker 2: Yes, I have. I now have a software that was
Speaker 2: installed two weeks ago and I'm learning how to use it,
Speaker 2: and I'll actually be able to do my own album
Speaker 2: at home. I have my own studio with the house.
Speaker 2: Oh very good, very good, own mix and everything.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, right, I was gonna sugget. I mean,
Speaker 1: someone of your caliber you might want to consider, you
Speaker 1: know well, but it costs a lot of money to
Speaker 1: actually recorded.
Speaker 2: Everything's digital today, yes, so you don't see no more
Speaker 2: tapes than CDs that much? Right, right, my music would
Speaker 2: become out digital. I'm now talking with Spotify. If I
Speaker 2: could get on Spotify, that would be great.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, who are you talking with at Spotify? Or
Speaker 1: he's talking to the head guy there, mister Spotify himself.

Speaker 1: I mean they would they would be there would be
Speaker 1: some religiou hymns, but there was also you know, the
Speaker 1: ones you're used to hearing, but there would also be

Speaker 1: songs that were not like classic religious hymns like share

Speaker 1: Now do you know have you heard from the Vatican
Speaker 1: at all about that? Do they approve of you as

Speaker 2: lonely cole hotel room, just to hear her say I
Speaker 2: love you one more time. And when he heard that
Speaker 2: sound are the kids laughing in the background, he had
Speaker 2: to wipe away a tear from his eyes. A little
Speaker 2: voice came on that boone said, Daddy, when are you
Speaker 2: coming home? He said the first thing that came to
Speaker 2: his mind, because I'm all already there. Just take a look,
Speaker 2: take a look around. I'm that sunshine in your hair.

Speaker 2: touch you with your fingertips. So turn out the light
Speaker 2: and close your eyes, because I'm all already there. Don't
Speaker 2: you make a sound tonight on the beat in your heart,
Speaker 2: on that wond light shining down.

Speaker 2: reach I'm already there yet, I'm all already because I'm
Speaker 2: already there. Yes, I'm already there.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Wow. Well let Glenn the artist. But that song you know,
Speaker 1: I never really paid much attention to the lyrics before.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's about uh, it's about the supernatural,
Speaker 1: Like he's threatening to be a ghost and haunt this person.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm the shadow on the ground. I mean
Speaker 1: that's creepy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about the part of about don't make a sound. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that kind of creeped me out a bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be a good Halloween SONGA I.
Speaker 2: Added that, Oh you had it. It came right behind
Speaker 2: the shadow things, so it made sense.
Speaker 1: Oh that, yes, shadow on the ground don't make a sound.
Speaker 2: Remember I make these songs in my own spooky.
Speaker 1: You made the song spooky. I like that a little,
Speaker 1: a little halloween swist.
Speaker 2: Known that I also need it a little bit spiritual
Speaker 2: that you've lost someone.
Speaker 1: I may have taken it the wrong way.
Speaker 2: I'm still there.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm sorry. Sometimes I misinterpret thing, but that's
Speaker 1: something about art, right, you know, you can you can
Speaker 1: interpret it different ways, you know. And I uh choose
Speaker 1: to interpret that as somebody dies and they come back
Speaker 1: as a ghost and they're haunting the person doing scary things,
Speaker 1: and it's like it turns into like an Amityville horror
Speaker 1: kind of situation.
Speaker 2: Created than I guess.
Speaker 1: So oh, by the way, so speaking of creativity, So
Speaker 1: our friend, you know Dan Dan Randlett also known as
Speaker 1: Dan Randall of Dan Randall and the Randlets. He also
Speaker 1: has a stage name. Yes, he says in the chat room,
Speaker 1: this is a masterclass vocal control reminiscent of later Sinatra
Speaker 1: or even Tony Bennett, amazingly beautiful in a style we
Speaker 1: don't necessarily hear in this day and age, all without
Speaker 1: auto tune and other overprocessing.
Speaker 2: And I do both those artists very well.
Speaker 1: Yes, you do, and you're humble about it.
Speaker 2: Now why shouldn't I be? I was raised with that music.
Speaker 2: I was born in pitchy two.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, so all right, well, very good? You want
Speaker 1: to do another one. I don't know if we're going
Speaker 1: to get through all of these necessarily, but I know
Speaker 1: the audience wants to hear more.
Speaker 4: One is.
Speaker 2: Actually it's better Roses, it's ben Jovi.
Speaker 1: Oh, this song makes me blush when I hear it.
Speaker 1: I wonder if I'll have that reaction when you sing it.
Speaker 2: It's a long song.
Speaker 1: This is a long song, probably bon Jovi's longest song.
Speaker 1: Is that why you chose it?
Speaker 2: Probably my longest?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: I like this song? Yes, yes, every song I do
Speaker 2: is a challenge, and I love a challenge.
Speaker 1: Yes. He also uses a stage name. Did you know that?
Speaker 4: What is he?
Speaker 1: John bon Jovi? Is not his real name?
Speaker 4: Probably not.
Speaker 1: I believe it's uh uh Bonjie of bon Giovi. I
Speaker 1: think it's bon Giovi, but uh but he made it
Speaker 1: bon Jovi. All right, So uh so this is Beat
Speaker 1: of Roses? And why this song, Glen? It's very romantic?
Speaker 2: First of all, I am a romantic.
Speaker 1: I've heard that about.
Speaker 2: Yes again. The songs that I sing and what I
