4:04 Speaker 6: Jam Demic one of my best buddies these days. Yeah.

4:07 Speaker 6: They're really on top of things, on top of their game.

4:09 Speaker 6: They're a hot band. Yeah. I run sound for them, Okay,

4:13 Speaker 6: and yeah, Eric said, Matt Connerton has some spots and

4:19 Speaker 6: so I'm new and I have all my material ready.

4:22 Speaker 6: I'm just getting started in the local area. Yeah. Yeah,

4:25 Speaker 6: Eric sent me over here and I'm glad to be here.

4:28 Speaker 10: Yeah, well we're glad to have you. Yeah, I love

4:31 Speaker 10: what you're doing. What can you tell us about that song?

4:34 Speaker 6: By the way, So that particular song was inspired and

4:40 Speaker 6: a couple of roots. The ascending rhythm line came when

4:47 Speaker 6: I bought my Yamaha trans Acoustic is an acoustic guitar

4:51 Speaker 6: that has cours and reaver built into it. Okay, my

4:54 Speaker 6: boss at work brought one in two years prior and

4:57 Speaker 6: played it for me, and I was absolutely amazed, and

5:01 Speaker 6: over the course of I wanted one. I wanted one,

5:04 Speaker 6: but I really didn't buy things too much. I didn't

5:06 Speaker 6: buy new instruments or things like that, and I really

5:08 Speaker 6: wasn't doing my own music, just a little bit here

5:10 Speaker 6: and there. But I sold all kinds of little things

5:15 Speaker 6: on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace and saved eight hundred dollars

5:19 Speaker 6: and bought a brand new my first brand new instrument, yeah,

5:23 Speaker 6: in my late fifties, Yamaha trans Acoustic guitar. And once

5:28 Speaker 6: I got it, I picked it up and played it

5:30 Speaker 6: every single day. So the rising line in that come on,

5:34 Speaker 6: people come on. The guitar rises in there, and it

5:37 Speaker 6: was born out of that people come On. But it's

5:42 Speaker 6: a really a song about revolution and joining together and

5:47 Speaker 6: the power of unity. And it was inspired by there

5:52 Speaker 6: was an Iranian woman who was shot and killed for protesting,

5:58 Speaker 6: and shortly afterwards, all the iran and women started coming

6:01 Speaker 6: out into the streets and protesting. Yep. And I really

6:05 Speaker 6: don't remember what happened with all of that, but it

6:07 Speaker 6: really inspired. It showed me the power of what they

6:10 Speaker 6: were starting to do. Yes, and even though they were

6:13 Speaker 6: against all odds and they really didn't have much of

6:17 Speaker 6: a chance, what they could do together made a difference

6:21 Speaker 6: and made an impact. So that song speaks to the

6:25 Speaker 6: power of unity, one heart, one voice mind. Yeah, I

6:29 Speaker 6: love it. I love it.

6:30 Speaker 9: Where did you record that?

6:32 Speaker 6: So all these songs were recorded at A shout out

6:34 Speaker 6: to Zach Kazik Wild Feather Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Excellent.

6:40 Speaker 6: So last October, it's been a year now. These songs

6:44 Speaker 6: haven't existed until a year ago. I started recording all

6:47 Speaker 6: these and I just got the master that you played

6:51 Speaker 6: two weeks ago. Okay, wow, so I've had I went

6:55 Speaker 6: down I did fourteen songs down there. Yeah, and that

6:59 Speaker 6: was one of the first ones. Yeah. So it's a

7:04 Speaker 6: magical place. It's just a little small place, much like

7:07 Speaker 6: the radio station, and all the studios down there, all

7:10 Speaker 6: just small old houses converted and all vintage equipment. And

7:16 Speaker 6: I walked in to that place and I had my

7:19 Speaker 6: dream of recording all my life. I walked in there.

7:22 Speaker 6: I said, I'm not here because I think I have

7:26 Speaker 6: something that's going to sell a jillion or anything like that.

7:28 Speaker 6: I'm here because I don't want to playing crap at

7:30 Speaker 6: my funeral. I have all these songs. I have basement recordings.

7:34 Speaker 6: They're just not good. I have old live recordings, old bands,

7:37 Speaker 6: and something's not recorded and people Come On was a

7:41 Speaker 6: basement recording. A lot of the elements of it, like

7:44 Speaker 6: the beginning whispered come on Yeah, was developed in the basement.

7:48 Speaker 6: Over time, some of those things came together. Yeah. But

7:52 Speaker 6: you just walk in the studio there, and the studio

7:55 Speaker 6: pros are worth every penny. They seem to know what

7:58 Speaker 6: you're thinking. I just laid down my dummy track with

8:01 Speaker 6: my trans acoustic yeah, and they take it all to

8:04 Speaker 6: the next level, and then I get to sing on

8:07 Speaker 6: top of it. I got to play bass on all

8:08 Speaker 6: those too, lucky me. Yeah, it was only taken out

8:11 Speaker 6: of my hand at one point from someone who could

8:12 Speaker 6: do a little better. Really, that's funny.

8:17 Speaker 9: Yeah, so you recorded how many and fifteen?

8:19 Speaker 6: I did fourteen songs in the studio. I have fifteen

8:22 Speaker 6: tracks for you, okay. One of them is from nineteen

8:25 Speaker 6: ninety two. I recorded at Ryan's songs in pepperl Wow

8:28 Speaker 6: and had to be remastered. So I've had the opportunity

8:32 Speaker 6: to record a couple of times over my life just

8:34 Speaker 6: that really, well that one time in ninety two and

8:37 Speaker 6: now here at Wildfeather Okay, so Wildfeather, Zach Kazak, he's

8:42 Speaker 6: a complete pro. All the magic is the producer. The

8:47 Speaker 6: people are good, you know, the musicians of course, Off Notch. Yeah,

8:50 Speaker 6: the producer who tells you no, don't do that, here,

8:53 Speaker 6: do that there a little less? Think about that baby

8:55 Speaker 6: you're singing too. Ye. He was really an inspiration and

9:00 Speaker 6: uh he sent me in the right direction. So that's excellent. Yeah,

9:03 Speaker 6: it's been tough for showing up with the whole band

9:05 Speaker 6: of YEA, so it was very It was fun to

9:09 Speaker 6: just be the only person so and yeah, I went

9:12 Speaker 6: with his input a lot of times over mine. I

9:15 Speaker 6: don't care later on that you we might play. I'm

9:18 Speaker 6: not sure. There's a part we cut out a little

9:21 Speaker 6: talking part that I do live. The time I do

9:23 Speaker 6: open mic, everyone gets a chuckle and I do live

9:26 Speaker 6: because I do an implied rhyme with a bad word. Okay,

9:30 Speaker 6: and I never say it. But he said, this song

9:34 Speaker 6: will hit the radio. You can't leave that in there.

9:36 Speaker 6: They don't want that. Yeah, so he was really conscious

9:40 Speaker 6: of what could how he was aware of what could

9:43 Speaker 6: happen in my music, and he was really helpful.

9:45 Speaker 10: Yeah, was that intimidating at all going to Nashville and

9:49 Speaker 10: doing all that? Or because we've had a lot of

9:52 Speaker 10: artists on the show, a lot of guests over the

9:54 Speaker 10: years who have done that, and and I hear different.

9:56 Speaker 10: You know, some some people say, oh no, I felt

9:58 Speaker 10: really comfortable, and you know, I knew exactly where I

10:01 Speaker 10: was going and everything, and other artists will tell me.

10:04 Speaker 10: Other guests have said, you know, yeah, it was kind

10:05 Speaker 10: of Nashville. That's kind of a big deal going there.

10:08 Speaker 10: I was a little it was a little scary, Like,

10:10 Speaker 10: how did you feel going there and doing this?

10:12 Speaker 6: So this relationship was cultivated over a number of years

10:16 Speaker 6: through Facebook friends and through connections that helps. Yeah, So

10:20 Speaker 6: I sent a few things to Zach over the years,

10:22 Speaker 6: and you get mixed reactions. Yeah, And I sent him

10:28 Speaker 6: Round Up the Vote, which I did in the basement

10:30 Speaker 6: barbershop quartet. It was me myself and I all me

10:34 Speaker 6: except for Tom from the Milk Crates came over and

10:37 Speaker 6: played piano for me. Okay. But I sent that to

10:40 Speaker 6: Zach and he said, wow, that's a cute little thing.

10:43 Speaker 6: You need that mastered, and he offered to do it cheaply, yea,

10:48 Speaker 6: And so I sent him. I was, I was a fool.

10:52 Speaker 6: I sent him my mess of tracks from the basement.

10:54 Speaker 6: I sent him forty three different tracks for maybe six

10:57 Speaker 6: different eight different elements. Yeah, but he cleaned it up

11:02 Speaker 6: and made it real nice. And after that point he h.

11:07 Speaker 6: I said, can you listen to the rest of my

11:08 Speaker 6: stuff and put them into folders? And I let him

11:11 Speaker 6: listen to twenty odd songs, maybe old live band recordings,

11:17 Speaker 6: some just me doing it by myself in some basement recordings. Yeah,

11:21 Speaker 6: I said, put them in hits and shelf, you know,

11:25 Speaker 6: And he put most of them in hits. Nice. So

11:31 Speaker 6: I had I found myself with some money to do

11:34 Speaker 6: some stuff, and I scheduled my time for October to

11:38 Speaker 6: go down there, and we picked six of them, eight

11:42 Speaker 6: of them the first time. Yeah, and did did those

11:45 Speaker 6: in a week. I stayed down there a whole week. Yeah, yep, excellent. Wow.

11:49 Speaker 6: It was one of the funnest times in the studio.

11:52 Speaker 6: Magical place. Yeah. And you know when they're tracking and

11:55 Speaker 6: when the lead players are doing all their work a

11:58 Speaker 6: couple of times down outside and cry tears of joy,

12:03 Speaker 6: magic happening upstairs. You didn't expect these things to blossom

12:08 Speaker 6: into this. I knew in my head what they sounded like,

12:12 Speaker 6: so they didn't make it sound exactly like that, but boy,

12:15 Speaker 6: they did an awesome job and making it sound into

12:19 Speaker 6: something spectacular. Absolutely. So some of the things they're completely

12:24 Speaker 6: different from the basement recordings, I don't care. And the

12:28 Speaker 6: basement recording is real guitar heavy and stuff, and the

12:31 Speaker 6: studio recording is just pretty yeah. And so yeah, things

12:38 Speaker 6: changed in the studio too, But it was the most

12:40 Speaker 6: It was one of the most fun things, fun times

12:43 Speaker 6: ever around in my life. Oh that's great.

12:44 Speaker 10: Now, while you were down there, did you get a

12:46 Speaker 10: chance to play out at all? Did you do any

12:48 Speaker 10: open mics anywhere or anything like that?

12:51 Speaker 6: Not? This time. Yeah, a time prior. I had made

12:55 Speaker 6: sure I went down to visit and I made sure

12:57 Speaker 6: I went to an open mic. So yeah, and I

13:00 Speaker 6: had never done any up here at that point. This

13:02 Speaker 6: was like three or four years back, and I told myself,

13:05 Speaker 6: I'm going to Nashville. My daughter went to college in Nashville.

13:09 Speaker 6: Oh okay, I was in and out. Yeah. And I

13:13 Speaker 6: went to an open mic there and had never been

13:16 Speaker 6: to one, and so I didn't know what to expect.

13:18 Speaker 6: I didn't know you had to listen to the featured

13:20 Speaker 6: artists for like an hour and a half or two

13:22 Speaker 6: hours before you get to play your one song in

13:26 Speaker 6: a chair with four other people in a row. So yeah,

13:29 Speaker 6: it was a little tough in Nashville's tight town and

13:32 Speaker 6: there's not too many open mics.

13:33 Speaker 10: That's the part that where people have told me it

13:36 Speaker 10: can be intimidating, that that whole element of it.

13:39 Speaker 6: Yeah. They were all sitting in the chairs and that

13:42 Speaker 6: was the last one, and I couldn't sit in my chair.

13:46 Speaker 6: I'm not a sitter when I sing, Yeah to stand up. Yeah,

13:49 Speaker 6: And I did my Tequila song and I did really well. Yeah.

13:53 Speaker 6: I did my basement recording of Tequila is out at

13:56 Speaker 6: the time, and it still is out right now. On

13:58 Speaker 6: sodcast you can find Kevin kirstaid hashtag Hydrate is the

14:02 Speaker 6: name of the song. Okay aka Tequila. But I played

14:06 Speaker 6: down in Nashville. I made little QR codes on business

14:10 Speaker 6: cards and little stickers. Smart. I went in bathrooms and

14:14 Speaker 6: stuck my stickers and stalls. Ye left my little cards everywhere. Yeah,

14:18 Speaker 6: my reverb Nation page got a few hits from some

14:20 Speaker 6: of those things. Yeah, that's good. So it was fun.

14:23 Speaker 6: Self producing is tough. There's a lot to do, a

14:28 Speaker 6: lot a lot to do. Yeah, absolutely, But Nashville it

14:33 Speaker 6: was a little intimidating. But I'd been there with my daughter,

14:36 Speaker 6: so I loved the town. Loved the town obviously. Yeah.

14:39 Speaker 6: I couldn't wait to play there. I can't wait to

14:41 Speaker 6: play there someday as artist. Oh I can imagine.

14:44 Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely absolutely, Well, should we play another one of

14:46 Speaker 10: these studio tracks?

14:48 Speaker 6: Uh? Missed me when I'm gone? It's one of my favorites. Okay,

14:51 Speaker 6: that was one of the ones I was never able

14:53 Speaker 6: to pre record. Most of the other ones had a

14:56 Speaker 6: pre recording. That one I went down with and I

14:58 Speaker 6: just play through it and they took it from there

15:02 Speaker 6: get a groove to it and got a Yeah, it's

18:58 Speaker 10: The radio edit from kat K Kevin Kier said, who

19:03 Speaker 10: is here with us live in studio? Yeah, you were

19:06 Speaker 10: saying at the end of the song. The other version

19:08 Speaker 10: ends a little bit differently, a little differently, a little differently. No,

19:11 Speaker 10: but I love that. I do love the groove on

19:13 Speaker 10: that and the guitar playing.

19:15 Speaker 9: So is that all you as well?

19:16 Speaker 6: No? No, I don't play the guitar on that, only

19:18 Speaker 6: bass okay, okay. Guitarist was in Nashville, Mike Sherry is

19:21 Speaker 6: his name, and amazing, absolutely amazing.

19:24 Speaker 10: What's going on in your mind when he's laying down

19:27 Speaker 10: that solo, Like you must be over the moon, like

19:30 Speaker 10: at how well that's coming out? That was a solo

19:32 Speaker 10: is fantasy. Everything he did on that track was fantastic.

19:36 Speaker 6: Absolutely fantastic. And that was like his second time. That

19:40 Speaker 6: was only like a second really, Yeah, So I think

19:43 Speaker 6: that was one of the moments I listened to it

19:45 Speaker 6: and then it was being remixed. I went down and cried.

19:47 Speaker 6: You know these things, it's like so amazing what these

19:51 Speaker 6: people come up with. The pro Like I said, the

19:52 Speaker 6: pros are worth everybody. Yep, yep. But he nailed it

19:57 Speaker 6: exactly what I wanted, exactly what I I wanted because

20:00 Speaker 6: he heard the angst in the song. Yep, he caught

20:03 Speaker 6: the growing and that was the bassline too. The groove

20:09 Speaker 6: is in the bass line. It's in his line. But

20:11 Speaker 6: he there's multiple multi So you listen to that and

20:14 Speaker 6: you only hear a guitar or two, but you don't

20:16 Speaker 6: know this several layers, and so the amazing part of

20:20 Speaker 6: the studio.

20:21 Speaker 2: Uh.

20:22 Speaker 6: He plays the rhythm part for that, and then producer says, Okay,

20:26 Speaker 6: pick up the strat the same exact thing with the

20:28 Speaker 6: Stratton now instead of less Paul, okay do that. Okay,

20:31 Speaker 6: Now we're plugging you in a different amp. Multiple, multiple

20:34 Speaker 6: takes of the same thing, keep different sounds and different instruments.

20:38 Speaker 6: The producer built the sound so it sounds like one guitar,

20:41 Speaker 6: but it's actually multiples of different guitars and different amps

20:45 Speaker 6: that are cleverly woven together to craft that. And so

20:50 Speaker 6: there's the different tracks too and this, so there's multiple

20:52 Speaker 6: takes of multiple That was the fun part of listening

20:56 Speaker 6: to it. Yeah, the leads weren't just the one time obviously, yeah, things,

21:00 Speaker 6: and then the producer would reached out. So all the

21:04 Speaker 6: leads and most of the guitar playing was done in

21:05 Speaker 6: the control booth, you know. The amp was in the

21:07 Speaker 6: other room, and it was Oh, so this was the

21:10 Speaker 6: funniest part. I went to help Mike come in and

21:15 Speaker 6: I went to pick up his amp. Have you put

21:17 Speaker 6: it on the ground outside the car And I went

21:19 Speaker 6: to the handle, and Zach and Mike both looked at

21:21 Speaker 6: me and say, don't pick it up by the handle.

21:23 Speaker 6: Oh really, fifty seven Fender Tweed Vintage something other other. Yeah,

21:29 Speaker 6: just don't pick them up by the handle. Yeah. Yeah,

21:31 Speaker 6: But brought it upstairs. They plugged it in and had

21:34 Speaker 6: a giant hum in it. What are they why are

21:37 Speaker 6: they bringing this here? Yeah, And Zach gets in the

21:40 Speaker 6: studio on the other side of the control booth and

21:42 Speaker 6: he pulls up this little plug in and all of

21:45 Speaker 6: a sudden, no hum on. Yeah. So he just knocked

21:48 Speaker 6: it right out of the thing, and then everything out

21:50 Speaker 6: of it was clean and pure. After that, it was

21:52 Speaker 6: on eleven, and so the guy was in our round

21:54 Speaker 6: room playing. So you're just sitting in a room with

21:59 Speaker 6: his pedal board just few pedals. Yeah, the producer is

22:02 Speaker 6: reaching down half the time, changing the pedals, doing all

22:06 Speaker 6: kinds of stuff. Yeah. Yeah, the musicians are one thing,

22:11 Speaker 6: and the producer, the magic producer, is the really the

22:13 Speaker 6: key element of all that. Zach Kazak a shout out

22:16 Speaker 6: once again. Yeah. Wild Feather Recording, Nashville Studio, Nashville, Tennessee. Yeah.

22:22 Speaker 10: Did any of those songs that we recorded there become

22:25 Speaker 10: out like a lot different than what you had imagined?

22:28 Speaker 10: Or was everything pretty close? Or I mean, obviously, I'm

22:31 Speaker 10: sure a lot of them came out, you know, better

22:33 Speaker 10: than you had you would even imagine, right, But but

22:35 Speaker 10: but did any of them come out I guess what

22:38 Speaker 10: I'm really asking is were there any surprises where at

22:40 Speaker 10: the end of it you were like, wow, this is

22:41 Speaker 10: I like this, but it's not necessarily what I thought

22:45 Speaker 10: it was going to be.

22:46 Speaker 6: Absolutely I don't care that. I hope we play later. Yeah.

22:49 Speaker 6: One of those songs that was the basement recording, and

22:52 Speaker 6: it was heavy, heavy guitar, heavy into the guitar and

22:55 Speaker 6: I leaned on the decord and just rolled around with

22:59 Speaker 6: the bottom things. But it was heavy on the top

23:01 Speaker 6: end of the two strings being the same sound all

23:03 Speaker 6: the time, and when it got to Nashville, that was

23:08 Speaker 6: gone and I kind of realized it, but I loved

23:10 Speaker 6: what was happening with it. And I got back and

23:12 Speaker 6: I let a friend listen to it. Yeah, and they

23:15 Speaker 6: said that song is completely different, and I was like,

23:19 Speaker 6: you know what, You're right, it is different. So what

23:22 Speaker 6: they morph and turned into. I accept that there's different

23:27 Speaker 6: versions of different songs and they'll be played differently many times.

23:31 Speaker 6: And so the heavy guitar version is my open mic

23:34 Speaker 6: version that I go to all the time, and it

23:36 Speaker 6: still is the root and like it's sure, and but

23:40 Speaker 6: I love the stuff that came out of the studio

23:43 Speaker 6: is excellent.

23:43 Speaker 10: Yeah, that must be exciting too, like like not only

23:49 Speaker 10: seeing these things or hearing these things that you've you've

23:51 Speaker 10: come up with these ideas that have now that are

23:53 Speaker 10: now these fully produced songs. But when something does turn

23:56 Speaker 10: out differently, that's that's there's something kind of advance terious

24:00 Speaker 10: about that, right.

24:01 Speaker 6: Like absolutely, yeah, you'll let take it to the edge

24:04 Speaker 6: and push it. And so all of my ideas I

24:07 Speaker 6: think are good and in my head, and songs there

24:09 Speaker 6: of course in my head, they're all hits. Yeah, when

24:13 Speaker 6: you present them to other people, and other people's input

24:16 Speaker 6: comes into them and they morph is when they start

24:19 Speaker 6: to get wings, yep, and change into something different, hopefully

24:23 Speaker 6: for something good you know that you're working with. But

24:26 Speaker 6: all these guys were pros and and this stuff even

24:29 Speaker 6: happens live at open mics and things when you're working

24:33 Speaker 6: on originals and uh, you just throw it out there,

24:35 Speaker 6: come on up and play. It's ea, b let's go one, four, five,

24:38 Speaker 6: you can do it. Yeah, And what it what they

24:40 Speaker 6: end up coming up with is is unique. Sometimes you

24:43 Speaker 6: need stuff I hadn't thought of.

24:45 Speaker 9: But we should talk about the open mics.

24:48 Speaker 6: Open mics. I've been to open mics for about the

24:52 Speaker 6: past fourteen months. Yeah, i'd only done that one in

24:55 Speaker 6: Nashville prior. Oh, that was intimidating.

24:58 Speaker 10: It's it's cool though that the one, the first one

25:00 Speaker 10: you did was in Nashville of all places. Right like

25:03 Speaker 10: you jumped into the deep end of the pool before

25:06 Speaker 10: you really had had any experienced swimming, you know.

25:09 Speaker 6: What I mean. Absolutely, I wondered what the New Hampshire

25:13 Speaker 6: open mics were going to be like. So my niece

25:15 Speaker 6: Rachel Rachel Evan Jocos shout out to granted State Blue Society.

25:21 Speaker 9: Oh, yes, we've had a couple of people from there

25:23 Speaker 9: on the show.

25:24 Speaker 6: Yeah. My very first open mic in New Hampshire was

25:27 Speaker 6: July one Keys Piano Bar when they had an open

25:32 Speaker 6: mic on I think it was a Monday night. I'm

25:35 Speaker 6: not sure. It might have been a Sunday hosted by

25:37 Speaker 6: One Dying Band. Shout out to One Dime Band. Uh,

25:41 Speaker 6: they were great hosts. I showed up at a blues

25:45 Speaker 6: open mic with an acoustic guitar. I felt like I

25:48 Speaker 6: had a rubber knife at a gunfight and I didn't

25:52 Speaker 6: know what to play. But I signed up and Rachel

25:55 Speaker 6: was going to meet me there, and Rachel all of

25:58 Speaker 6: a sudden couldn't make it. So here I am my

26:00 Speaker 6: first open mic all by myself. I'm like, oh, okay, wow.

26:04 Speaker 6: And then he called me up and I played Mustang

26:07 Speaker 6: Sally and so we did blues and other people played along.

26:11 Speaker 6: Obviously they were awesome, yeah, and I was like, wow,

26:14 Speaker 6: it's great playing with these people. But I wish I

26:16 Speaker 6: knew some blues or something. Yeah. I didn't do any

26:20 Speaker 6: original that. I just played along with a couple of

26:22 Speaker 6: other things. But that was my first open mic. But

26:23 Speaker 6: of course, I was a bit by the bug and

26:28 Speaker 6: I started looking for where there was open mics, and

26:31 Speaker 6: it was you can. You can do an open mic

26:34 Speaker 6: almost every night of the week if you're clever enough.

26:37 Speaker 6: It's hard to find him on Fridays and Saturdays where

26:39 Speaker 6: the people get paid. But yeah, Monday nights I found

26:43 Speaker 6: stumble in Lisa Guyer's open mic. She doesn't have it

26:48 Speaker 6: there anymore. I don't know if that'll come back. That

26:49 Speaker 6: was a wonderful time. I can talk about that a

26:52 Speaker 6: little bit. Tuesday night Casey's Ribshack, Manchester Tuesday night also

27:00 Speaker 6: Alford Station one on one. Okay, Wednesday night Riley's Place

27:05 Speaker 6: in Milford and Thursday night Rilly's Place in Milford. That's

27:08 Speaker 6: become like my home base. Yeah, so that's where I'm

27:11 Speaker 6: living now. I go there almost every week. So if

27:14 Speaker 6: you want to hear any of my stuff, any originals,

27:16 Speaker 6: come down to Riley's Place in Milford Wednesday or Thursday.

27:19 Speaker 6: I'm usually there. Yeah. I usually end up getting signed

27:23 Speaker 6: up last because I get there late and so you

27:25 Speaker 6: won't catch me till near the end. On a Thursday,

27:27 Speaker 6: But Wednesday Night's acoustic open mic there. Thursday nights they

27:30 Speaker 6: have a whole backline, drum set, bass, guitar. You could

27:34 Speaker 6: come down with your band, Matt and jump up on

27:36 Speaker 6: stage and play your stuff or my stuff if you want. Yeah. Yeah,

27:40 Speaker 6: but it's fun showing up with a band. Sometimes sometimes

27:43 Speaker 6: I do organize a few people and we show up.

27:46 Speaker 6: But those are yeah, so open mics have been. I've

27:51 Speaker 6: been doing them the past fourteen months, almost every night

27:56 Speaker 6: of every week. Excellent. I sag all my life. I

28:01 Speaker 6: always helped people and did gigs with people. Play bass.

28:05 Speaker 6: I play based mostly.

28:06 Speaker 10: Yeah, me too, I'm a player. Oh yeah, by five string? No,

28:11 Speaker 10: I've never played a five string in my life. I've

28:12 Speaker 10: never picked.

28:14 Speaker 6: I know. Wait till you hit that other string. That's

28:16 Speaker 6: what That's what everyone says. Drummers love that other string. Yeah,

28:20 Speaker 6: you can move drummers with your fifth string. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah,

28:24 Speaker 6: I believe it. I believe it. I've got more smiles

28:27 Speaker 6: out of drummers that have never played with a five

28:29 Speaker 6: string bass player kid, and then all of a sudden

28:31 Speaker 6: they jam with him and they're like, whoa, what is

28:33 Speaker 6: that vibe? I'm feeling? No kidding, that's part of getting

28:37 Speaker 6: your songs. Haven't a groove to them. Yeah, you got

28:40 Speaker 6: the groove and you can bounce down and have some

28:42 Speaker 6: low rumble going on. They haven't felt before like that.

28:45 Speaker 10: Stuff some of the bands I've played, and that would

28:47 Speaker 10: have been really uh handy. Actually yeah, I never Oh,

28:50 Speaker 10: you know what. I wanted to mention too though, about Milford,

28:52 Speaker 10: because you're talking about Milford. This comes up a lot

28:54 Speaker 10: on the show Milford, so so for people who don't

28:57 Speaker 10: know people listening online from other areas, Milford isn't even

29:00 Speaker 10: And because people from other areas who don't know New

29:02 Speaker 10: Hampshire might think, because Milford comes up so often that

29:06 Speaker 10: Milford is like this booming metropolis in New Hampshire, because

29:12 Speaker 10: it's like it's almost like the center of the of

29:15 Speaker 10: the music universe in New Hampshire is in what is

29:18 Speaker 10: actually this little town Milford. There's so much going on

29:21 Speaker 10: in Milford for music, Like it's like it's at a

29:25 Speaker 10: point where like at least, you know, we do the

29:27 Speaker 10: show every Saturday at least two or three times over

29:31 Speaker 10: the course of a month, Milford. Somebody's talking about Milford

29:34 Speaker 10: and and everything that's going on in Milford with music.

29:36 Speaker 10: It's really interesting, like like it seems like that town

29:40 Speaker 10: really it's a music city, but it's not even a city.

29:42 Speaker 6: It's a town, you know what I mean. It's wild

29:44 Speaker 6: and it's very cool. I had never known that Milford

29:49 Speaker 6: was the music metropolis. I love that term. Yeah, that

29:52 Speaker 6: it is. You can walk around the Oval in Milford

29:56 Speaker 6: and there will be six different places that you could

30:00 Speaker 6: walk in that someone's playing an acoustic guitar singing.

30:03 Speaker 9: It's wild.

30:04 Speaker 6: Absolutely one of the most musically magical places. Yeah, I

30:10 Speaker 6: had never known a place like it existed. I surely

30:14 Speaker 6: hope there are other places in the country like Milford.

30:18 Speaker 6: I would love to visit them.

30:20 Speaker 9: And I'm sure there are.

30:21 Speaker 10: We just don't know because you wouldn't hear about them

30:22 Speaker 10: because they're just these towns, right, These just these small

30:26 Speaker 10: towns where.

30:26 Speaker 9: For whatever reason, music is really prevalent.

30:28 Speaker 6: It's the smallest little town. Yeah, there's music, and within

30:33 Speaker 6: walking distance you could go to ten different places hear

30:37 Speaker 6: a live act or a band. It's amazing. It's amazing.

30:41 Speaker 6: It is a blast showing up at the open mics

30:43 Speaker 6: of these different places too. And now that I'm there,

30:47 Speaker 6: I'm recognized and I recognize others. I'm invited to play

30:52 Speaker 6: with others too. That's the funnest part. I don't I

30:54 Speaker 6: don't want to ask to play, but if they want

30:56 Speaker 6: to ask me to play, I will. Yeah.

30:58 Speaker 10: Absolutely, that's tremendous valady right when somebody says, hey, you

31:01 Speaker 10: want to play with us?

31:03 Speaker 6: Yeah. Fun. So I was doing open mics and I

31:08 Speaker 6: was playing bass along, playing bass with some things that

31:11 Speaker 6: I would have my sister. So one of the greatest

31:14 Speaker 6: joys of my life has been making music with my sister.

31:19 Speaker 6: She's the alto, I'm the tenor. We could make you

31:21 Speaker 6: sound great, Matt. Yeah, yeah, we'll back you up and

31:24 Speaker 6: make you sound awesome. Yeah. It's been fun. And so

31:28 Speaker 6: sometimes she's available and we'll she'll come down to Riley's.

31:32 Speaker 6: And I have different drummer friends. One of my drummer

31:35 Speaker 6: friends Jean Richard from Six Ways to Sunday, the band

31:37 Speaker 6: that I'm working for tonight, Okay, Okay, he's their lead singer,

31:42 Speaker 6: but he's my drummer okay, And I bring him in

31:45 Speaker 6: there and and different guitarists and stuff. But we will

31:48 Speaker 6: do the whole band stuff with some of these originals

31:50 Speaker 6: as well. Yeah. And we also play annually at a

31:56 Speaker 6: camp for physically mentally handicapped people. We've played it fifteen

32:00 Speaker 6: years now. We started out in the dining hall, me

32:04 Speaker 6: and Barb doing an amazing grace take me out to

32:06 Speaker 6: the ballgame on the piano and guitar and bringing in others,

32:10 Speaker 6: and now we play in the gymnasium. This past year

32:13 Speaker 6: we were told no light show, no blow upst no

32:19 Speaker 6: confetti can its okay okay? Yeah, So this past year

32:24 Speaker 6: I actually brought cotton snowballs instead and we had an

32:26 Speaker 6: indoor snowball fight.

32:28 Speaker 12: Oh.

32:29 Speaker 6: I try to bring something every year for these people

32:31 Speaker 6: to props to play with. One year it was noisemaker things. Yeah.

32:37 Speaker 6: One year we let them come up and sing a

32:39 Speaker 6: few things too, but we played there. Yeah, fifteen years

32:43 Speaker 6: running excellent. It's one of the greatest blessings is playing

32:48 Speaker 6: people who really appreciate it. Don't get to see bands

32:51 Speaker 6: and things where they're dance for their week. It's a

32:55 Speaker 6: faith based camp where they're let their hair down and

32:59 Speaker 6: have a dance night. Yeah, we do a couple of

33:02 Speaker 6: faith based songs, but we do mostly Taylor Swift and yeah,

33:06 Speaker 6: you know, all that kind of stuff. So we'll have

33:07 Speaker 6: the whole band and that's fantastic. One year, we did

33:11 Speaker 6: the Stroll by the Diamonds. Well, all the wheelchairs went

33:15 Speaker 6: down the middle of the gymnasing for ten minutes we

33:17 Speaker 6: played that song. Yeah, we loved it. Yeah, and they

33:19 Speaker 6: love it. It's one of the greatest joys to playing

33:22 Speaker 6: there year. But that's with my sister. One of the

33:25 Speaker 6: greatest joys of my life. Yeah, music with my sister.

33:27 Speaker 6: So shout out to Barb Patch. Yeah, Oh that's awesome.

33:31 Speaker 10: Does she also do like, does she do her own

33:33 Speaker 10: thing musically or does she only perform with.

33:36 Speaker 6: You or so she's recorded with me on this on

33:38 Speaker 6: the fourteen songs, So we did. So. I went to

33:40 Speaker 6: Nashville the first time by myself. Yeah. I went in

33:43 Speaker 6: February again to do six more songs, and me and

33:47 Speaker 6: Barb drove down. Yeah. Great trip of my life. If

33:51 Speaker 6: you want a good trip of your life, spend eighteen

33:53 Speaker 6: hours in a car with your siblings. Yeah. The person

33:57 Speaker 6: who knows you the best will bring up all kinds

34:01 Speaker 6: of things you don't need to you know, sure, no doubt.

34:03 Speaker 6: Wonderful time. And she had never been in a big

34:07 Speaker 6: studio either, and uh, it was I think one of

34:11 Speaker 6: the greatest trips she's had as well, so that's so cool.

34:14 Speaker 6: My daughter also came in and did some of the vocals.

34:17 Speaker 6: One of the songs that we won't hear today, but

34:19 Speaker 6: tied up Baby in Love. My daughter sang with me,

34:21 Speaker 6: so she's the female lead on that song that goes

34:23 Speaker 6: back and forth. Nice.

34:25 Speaker 9: Oh that's so cool.

34:27 Speaker 6: And several songs that we wrote even at church. So

34:31 Speaker 6: with Barb, I did five years of church band my

34:35 Speaker 6: kids were two and five and five years of every week,

34:42 Speaker 6: three new songs a week. So at the time I

34:47 Speaker 6: looked at it as difficult and oh I got to

34:49 Speaker 6: go do this again. But it was the greatest learning experience, Oh,

34:53 Speaker 6: no doubt I could have never asked for. And it

34:56 Speaker 6: was absolutely wonderful. I had to work on new things

35:00 Speaker 6: every week, things you've never heard before. Yeah, And you

35:02 Speaker 6: had to learn your harmony part and your guitar part,

35:05 Speaker 6: your bass part, all the drummers out you're playing drums

35:07 Speaker 6: this week, so things like that. Yeah. So one of

35:12 Speaker 6: the greatest learning experiences she gave me without me realizing it. Yeah.

35:16 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's the thing you don't realize still later, right,

35:19 Speaker 10: how how important that was and absolutely you know, and

35:23 Speaker 10: having that foundation musically and ye.

35:26 Speaker 6: And the foundation did come from the religious music in

35:29 Speaker 6: the beginning. We were all brought up there and she

35:32 Speaker 6: does that every week. Still I do that probably once

35:35 Speaker 6: a month. Yeah, there's a need for musicians at local churches.

35:41 Speaker 6: They could use any of us anytime. They are so

35:45 Speaker 6: glad when I come play music. Yeah, just so thankful

35:48 Speaker 6: and joyous. Yeah, and they try to pay me. I

35:52 Speaker 6: don't accept it at this really. Yeah, some of the

35:55 Speaker 6: piano people, you know, they're paying gigs at churches for sure,

36:00 Speaker 6: but I'm not interested in any But yeah, there is

36:03 Speaker 6: a need for any musicians out there to serve in

36:06 Speaker 6: that fashion if they're available to do so. Oh yeah.

36:10 Speaker 10: I grew up in Concord and we used to go

36:12 Speaker 10: to Saint John's on Sunday and they they always had

36:15 Speaker 10: a band.

36:16 Speaker 6: The worship team, be part of the worship team. Ye,

36:19 Speaker 6: it's funny.

36:19 Speaker 10: I don't I don't remember ever hearing that term specifically

36:23 Speaker 10: worship team, but I just remember like, and I don't

36:25 Speaker 10: think they had any kind of a name or anything.

36:26 Speaker 10: They were just but but I think it was pretty

36:28 Speaker 10: consistently the same people each week. But they would do

36:31 Speaker 10: these songs they were like they were religious songs. But

36:34 Speaker 10: they were like they but they weren't hymns, you know

36:36 Speaker 10: what I mean. Like like they would do a song

36:39 Speaker 10: called share a little Bit of Your Love, Okay, but

36:40 Speaker 10: it was like share a little bit of your love,

36:42 Speaker 10: my friends, share a little bit of your love. But

36:44 Speaker 10: it wasn't it wasn't a hymn. You know that that

36:47 Speaker 10: I did any of us had ever heard before.

36:49 Speaker 6: I don't know.

36:50 Speaker 10: They may have even written it themselves, I don't know.

36:52 Speaker 10: But they would do songs like that, you know what

36:54 Speaker 10: I mean, like almost like almost borderline secular some of them,

36:59 Speaker 10: but but just very positive, uplifting songs, if that makes sense.

37:03 Speaker 10: But but yeah, I was always kind of fascinated by

37:05 Speaker 10: that because it was like I've never like, I've never

37:08 Speaker 10: heard that. I mean, they would do I suppose they

37:11 Speaker 10: would do him too. My memory of it is fuzzy.

37:13 Speaker 10: This was when I was a kid. But but but yeah,

37:17 Speaker 10: Darryl Hall, I've heard say in interviews he credits his

37:23 Speaker 10: mother taking him on Sundays and they, you know, in Philadelphia,

37:27 Speaker 10: they would go to they would go to a black

37:29 Speaker 10: church and that's how he learned to sing, singing at

37:33 Speaker 10: the black church because that that gave him that that foundation,

37:37 Speaker 10: you know. And his mother was apparently a really good

37:39 Speaker 10: singer too, but but she insisted on bringing him there

37:43 Speaker 10: so that he could learn how to sing like her,

37:45 Speaker 10: and that's that's how he developed that that soulful voice.

37:48 Speaker 6: It's a great foundation and it's a lot of fun

37:52 Speaker 6: to sing in church. I did the choirs, and then

37:55 Speaker 6: they learned that I could find the note and read

37:58 Speaker 6: the note and follow it on the sheet music. So

38:01 Speaker 6: I was pulled into a quartets and things like that.

38:04 Speaker 6: And quartets were good sing along with background tapes yep,

38:08 Speaker 6: and touring different churches with the PV and short column speakers,

38:13 Speaker 6: the old school stuff. Wow, And so that was yeah,

38:16 Speaker 6: my younger days, that was a lot of fun. The

38:18 Speaker 6: church was a great foundation to learn, and so singing hymns,

38:22 Speaker 6: we would sing those in the pews and we would

38:24 Speaker 6: sing our harmony parts, and sooner or later we would

38:26 Speaker 6: get bored singing harmony and we would sing off key

38:28 Speaker 6: on purpose. The old ladies would look at us really funny. Yeah,

38:34 Speaker 6: we would sing so well that we would sing off

38:35 Speaker 6: key on purpose a few times. The church was the

38:39 Speaker 6: foundation of singing and learning sound stuff, learning how to

38:43 Speaker 6: plug in wires, learning with all those buttons.

38:45 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, all that stuff. Absolutely well. We talked

38:49 Speaker 9: about it a bit. Do you want to play this track?

38:51 Speaker 9: I don't care.

38:51 Speaker 6: Let's do. I don't care and one of my favorites.

38:54 Speaker 6: This is my radio song. Okay, so at every open

38:57 Speaker 6: mic and I get smiles from this minute every open

38:59 Speaker 6: mic too. So it sounds like a love song. It

39:02 Speaker 6: is a love song. It's actually written from the perspective

39:06 Speaker 6: of your pug. Oh you pet Oh okay, so it's

39:11 Speaker 6: it's unconditional love. I don't care about anything, you know.

39:16 Speaker 6: I don't care about why you look like, what you

39:18 Speaker 6: smell like, and I don't care what Just let me

39:20 Speaker 6: be with you. Yeah. So, I don't think people will

39:23 Speaker 6: hear that it's from their pet. I always thought it

39:25 Speaker 6: could be used as the ASPCA commercial or something like that.

39:28 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, so, but I don't care. It's one of

39:31 Speaker 6: the ones that morphed from the basement recording into something

39:35 Speaker 6: quite different when the pros got it. And it's beautiful,

39:38 Speaker 6: lots of keyboards layers that I didn't expect. That's where

39:41 Speaker 6: a lot of the new stuff came from. How sounds

39:44 Speaker 6: changed when you added a player on an instrument. That

39:47 Speaker 6: could be any other instrument, and so a lot of

39:50 Speaker 6: things changed in that it really became something beautiful.

39:52 Speaker 10: Yeah, all right, great, let's give this a spen. This

39:54 Speaker 10: is I don't care, and this is K T K.

43:49 Speaker 10: wanting to come in. Well, well I shave, watch me shave.

43:53 Speaker 6: You know, I don't have a pet. But that's the

43:55 Speaker 6: perspective I chose when I wrote it. Yeah, you know

43:59 Speaker 6: how they they don't care what you look, they don't

44:01 Speaker 6: care that you smell, They don't care. Just let me

44:04 Speaker 6: be with you, right that the whole vibe of that song.

44:07 Speaker 10: Exactly, yeah, exactly. Now are these so the songs that

44:11 Speaker 10: you've recorded, are these all? Are Are these part of

44:13 Speaker 10: an album?

44:14 Speaker 6: Or what?

44:15 Speaker 9: What's the plan with to do with these?

44:18 Speaker 6: That's my hope is that this is an album package.

44:20 Speaker 6: I have fourteen of them. Yeah, I mean I'm working

44:24 Speaker 6: on my artwork right now, so I will have CDs

44:27 Speaker 6: to sell and I want a physical media. Yeah. It

44:30 Speaker 6: costs a little a little bit to get the albums done.

44:33 Speaker 6: I'll probably make an album pressing if I sell enough CDs,

44:36 Speaker 6: I'll probably press a couple of Ye. The CDs are

44:39 Speaker 6: real cheap to have made. So the do it yourself,

44:43 Speaker 6: do it yourself music career thing is is just coming

44:47 Speaker 6: upon me now and just learning all the ins and

44:49 Speaker 6: outs of that. Yeah, I'm finding partners and helpers like

44:53 Speaker 6: Eric from jam Demik. Yep, it was great with all

44:57 Speaker 6: that marketing stuff. Yeah, and let's talk Gamdemic for a

45:02 Speaker 6: minute while I can. They have lots of their own

45:04 Speaker 6: original stuff out. They're a force in this southern New

45:07 Speaker 6: Hampshire area and so you guys can get out and

45:09 Speaker 6: catch a jamdemic. Do it. They're good and I'll probably

45:13 Speaker 6: be running sound for them. So come on buy and

45:15 Speaker 6: say hi. Excellent, excellent, yeah, absolutely, so, yes, the dream

45:19 Speaker 6: is to make the package, and so I'm working on

45:22 Speaker 6: my artwork. I've written my liner notes, I have all

45:24 Speaker 6: my credits for all the people, and yeah, to have

45:27 Speaker 6: the package in my hand before Christmas to hand to

45:30 Speaker 6: my family at Christmas time, but to have stuff to

45:33 Speaker 6: sell it open mics. So I have a couple of

45:36 Speaker 6: options of how it's getting posted online. And I posted

45:40 Speaker 6: I don't care on my song cast account and it's

45:43 Speaker 6: having a little trouble with the artwork, all the artwork. Yeah,

45:46 Speaker 6: I'm not sure if they're the venue I'm going to choose.

45:48 Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm undecided as to how how to release

45:52 Speaker 6: it all. Yeah, I don't care. We'll be out there eventually,

45:55 Speaker 6: because that's the first one I was hoping to tell

45:57 Speaker 6: you today it's available. Okay, not quite. Yeah, it's still

46:00 Speaker 6: having some issues, and that's also making me wonder. So

46:05 Speaker 6: do it yourself. Music we were talking about is a

46:07 Speaker 6: tough gig. There's lots of different options things to choose

46:11 Speaker 6: from and things to where to release your music through.

46:15 Speaker 6: So I'm hoping someone loves me, and what I really

46:18 Speaker 6: need is management. I'm doing it all myself and I'm

46:23 Speaker 6: stepping out there and this is the year that I'm

46:25 Speaker 6: going to put the effort into showing up and getting

46:29 Speaker 6: all the music out there. And so it's going to

46:31 Speaker 6: be an album package excellent, all fourteen songs good. I

46:36 Speaker 6: didn't want to sell anyone short and just have tens.

46:38 Speaker 6: The fifteenth song I recorded in nineteen ninety two, a

46:41 Speaker 6: song called rat Race and at Ryan Song Studios in

46:44 Speaker 6: pepperle and that was remastered. So that'll might not make

46:49 Speaker 6: the album, but I'll keep that one in my pocket,

46:53 Speaker 6: you know, as a bonus track for something or who knows.

46:58 Speaker 6: The original tape on that was quarter inch tape. Zach

47:02 Speaker 6: had it in Nashville, but when he opened the tape

47:05 Speaker 6: that had been in storage since ninety two. Heat had

47:09 Speaker 6: gotten to it over the years and it was unusable. Okay,

47:12 Speaker 6: so we had to use an old MP three and

47:14 Speaker 6: he said, this is okay. I said, it's okay. Make

47:17 Speaker 6: it sounds as much as you can like the others.

47:20 Speaker 6: But yeah, it's not quite as as good as sounding

47:23 Speaker 6: as the others. It's a different vein. So it's not

47:25 Speaker 6: going to make this collection, but it'll definitely be out

47:29 Speaker 6: there posted some day.

47:30 Speaker 10: Curious to hear it.

47:31 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so I'll have it for you later. You

47:34 Speaker 6: can have a cop Oh awesome, Yeah, thank you? Yeah

47:36 Speaker 6: yeah wow. Ninety two.

47:40 Speaker 9: And then so when's your next when's your next appearance?

47:43 Speaker 6: So I let's see, I just did a pumpkin fest

47:46 Speaker 6: in Milford talking to Milford. Yeah, I ran sound for

47:50 Speaker 6: six bands at the Keysfield stage, the first time they

47:52 Speaker 6: had bands of the Keysfields brand new wooden, beautiful that

47:57 Speaker 6: they built on a super fun site, nice stage. I

48:00 Speaker 6: wouldn't top stone Back. Ran sound for six acts there

48:05 Speaker 6: and I was the seventh act that was right before

48:08 Speaker 6: the end, second to last. We got to do four

48:10 Speaker 6: songs there. Yeah. So my next thing, I have a

48:13 Speaker 6: showcase at Riley's place. In Milford coming up December twenty seventh. Ok,

48:17 Speaker 6: I get an hour and a half. I'm gonna start

48:19 Speaker 6: off some things by myself. Probably I don't care all

48:27 Speaker 6: I did really planned my fourth song set really well

49:45 Speaker 6: end of the song he gave me a big giant

49:48 Speaker 6: thumbs up in a smile and yeah, you're a good singer. Yeah,

49:51 Speaker 6: And so I was really I had won him over

49:53 Speaker 6: in that one song, and uh, and then I played

49:56 Speaker 6: along with blues. I just played bass with whatever they

49:58 Speaker 6: wanted to be after that. But yeah, I have then

50:00 Speaker 6: back since other than just visit and say hi. But
