Speaker 12: us on this Saturday morning, as we enter the third
Speaker 12: hour of Matt Connorton Unleashed on this Saturday, we are
Speaker 12: going to spend this hour devoted to Brooks Young, remembering
Speaker 12: Brooks Young. If you don't know, Brooks Young was fatally
Speaker 12: killed in a car accident in Alton on Route eleven.
Speaker 11: I believe earlier this week.
Speaker 12: I was quite shocked when I saw the news, and
Speaker 12: Brooks is someone who had been on the show quite
Speaker 12: a number of times over the years, I had the
Speaker 12: honor of interviewing him.
Speaker 11: And what I would like to do with this hour
Speaker 11: so a couple things.
Speaker 12: I want to share some of his music, of course,
Speaker 12: in memory of Brooks and such a talented musician and
Speaker 12: just a really really good person too, just such a
Speaker 12: great guy. So you know, we'll play some of some
Speaker 12: of his music, and I might even I have it
Speaker 12: queued up. The last interview that I did with Brooks, uh,
Speaker 12: the last time that he was on. Uh not not
Speaker 12: too many months ago. Actually, uh, we might we might
Speaker 12: revisit some of that too. But another thing that I
Speaker 12: would really like to do with this hour, again, this
Speaker 12: is for those of you listening live, if you are
Speaker 12: listening live on Saturday morning, uh, because there is a
Speaker 12: replay during the week. So, but if anyone would like
Speaker 12: to call into the show, the studio line is open,
Speaker 12: uh six O three two five oh six oh seven, Uh,
Speaker 12: if you'd like to call, and if you have memories
Speaker 12: of Brooks that you would like to share, either personal
Speaker 12: memories or or maybe you didn't know him but you
Speaker 12: were a fan of his music, whatever it may be.
Speaker 12: If you have anything that you would like to say, Uh,
Speaker 12: six o three two five oh six o seven is
Speaker 12: the studio line six o three two five oh six
Speaker 12: oh seven. I'm also keeping an eye on my email
Speaker 12: if anyone wants to email me anything. If if you
Speaker 12: don't want to be on the air, but you have
Speaker 12: something that you'd like to share, Matt at mattconnorton dot com.
Speaker 12: We also have a text line you can instant message me.
Speaker 12: You can say something in the chat room if you

Speaker 12: are listed there so you can instant message me through
Speaker 12: the website. That way, you can click my email that
Speaker 12: way send me something, or again, of course, you know,
Speaker 12: in the Facebook chatroom or the YouTube chat room or
Speaker 12: wherever you know, feel free to chime in as well,
Speaker 12: you know, if you'd like to participate in what we're
Speaker 12: doing with this hour of the program. You know, I'd
Speaker 12: love to hear from you, but the best thing, ideally
Speaker 12: would be to give us a call at six oh
Speaker 12: three two five oh six oh seven if you have
Speaker 12: anything you'd like to share about Brooks Young. I did
Speaker 12: hear from a lot of people over the course of
Speaker 12: the week, so I know people are tuned in, and
Speaker 12: I know people are grieving, So I I'll just tell
Speaker 12: you I first interviewed Brooks quite a few years ago.
Speaker 12: The first time that I interviewed him, it was not
Speaker 12: on this show. It was on another show that I
Speaker 12: do that aris elsewhere, but it was my first time
Speaker 12: meeting him, and I actually went to I brought a
Speaker 12: portable setup with me and I went to Strings and
Speaker 12: Things and conquered because Brooks was actually working there at
Speaker 12: the time. So, you know, while pursuing his you know,
Speaker 12: you know, very early in his career, but his quickly
Speaker 12: it was accelerating fast. His music career, it was taken off.
Speaker 12: I think he had just played with BB King when
Speaker 12: I interviewed him. I think that had just happened. That
Speaker 12: either just happened or it was about to happen, but
Speaker 12: I feel like it had just happened. And so you know,
Speaker 12: he had plenty to talk about. But even just meeting
Speaker 12: him that first day, going to Strings and Things to
Speaker 12: meet him, and he just you know, right away way
Speaker 12: you know, he he just had such a positive attitude
Speaker 12: as well he should have. You know, some some wonderful
Speaker 12: things were happening.
Speaker 2: But uh, but.
Speaker 12: He just he was positive and very humble. He obviously
Speaker 12: enormously talented, that was apparent and clear, hell of a
Speaker 12: guitar player and a and a great voice to kind
Speaker 12: of a unique voice. I can't think of anyone who
Speaker 12: sounds quite like him. But it was such a pleasure
Speaker 12: to just sit and talk with him. And I was
Speaker 12: thinking about this yesterday actually, as I was kind of
Speaker 12: in my mind, just sort of mentally preparing for today,
Speaker 12: I was thinking about how when when we lose somebody
Speaker 12: who is a musician, it's it's at least in my experience,
Speaker 12: it's interesting how you don't necessarily have to have known
Speaker 12: them that well personal personally to feel such a connection
Speaker 12: with him. So when I first realized it was actually uh,
Speaker 12: Mike from h Mike g from Strings and Things, when
Speaker 12: he had posted on Facebook what had happened, that was
Speaker 12: when I first became aware of it, and you know,
Speaker 12: I just felt like I'd been punched in the gut.
Speaker 11: It was.
Speaker 12: It was such a terrible feeling. It was just such
Speaker 12: a shock to see that Brooks had passed away. And
Speaker 12: at that point, there wasn't a lot of information other
Speaker 12: than it was a car accident. But it's interesting how
Speaker 12: so I never I didn't really get to know Brooks
Speaker 12: other than professionally, in the sense that I'd never spent
Speaker 12: any time with him.
Speaker 11: Socially.
Speaker 12: I'd seen him play live, of course, and I got
Speaker 12: to interview him a number of times through the years.
Speaker 11: But but.
Speaker 12: When you are a fan of someone's music, you feel
Speaker 12: connected to them in a way that transcends sort of
Speaker 12: traditional friendship, if that makes sense. That's why, For example,
Speaker 12: if you're a big fan, you know, if it's someone
Speaker 12: you know really famous, and Brooks had a lot of success.
Speaker 12: But if it's you know, a famous musician or a
Speaker 12: famous actor, or a famous author, anyone who's created any
Speaker 12: kind of art, if their art connects with you in
Speaker 12: some way and makes you feel something, then you also
Speaker 12: feel something for that person, even if you've never met them,
Speaker 12: and you never will meet them because they're famous and
Speaker 12: they're sort of out of reach.
Speaker 11: But you feel a connection.
Speaker 12: And then if they pass away, you go, oh, no,
Speaker 12: I feel a sense of loss, even though it's someone
Speaker 12: you may have never met. And I think that with Brooks.
Speaker 12: Obviously I had met him because i'd interviewed him quite
Speaker 12: a few times, but again, i'd never spend any time
Speaker 12: with him socially, not really, but but being a fan
Speaker 12: of his music, but also over the course of interviewing him.
Speaker 11: And this is something I was thinking about.
Speaker 12: I was thinking about this yesterday and I never really
Speaker 12: quite thought of it this way before, but in reflecting
Speaker 12: on Brooks.
Speaker 11: When and I assume this is.
Speaker 12: True for other people too who do this, where you
Speaker 12: interview people, it's sort of like it's a form of
Speaker 12: getting to know someone. So like I said, I never
Speaker 12: spend any time with them socially, but when I'm interviewing
Speaker 12: someone and I'm trying to learn, it's like getting to
Speaker 12: know someone, but in a very compressed period of time,
Speaker 12: if that makes sense. If I sit down with someone
Speaker 12: and I do a one hour segment where we're going
Speaker 12: to play some of their music, and I'm going to
Speaker 12: ask them a lot of questions because I'm curious. I
Speaker 12: want to I want to know about their music, but
Speaker 12: I also want to know about them as a person.
Speaker 12: I want to learn, and I have a natural curiosity
Speaker 12: which helps to.
Speaker 11: Do this right.
Speaker 12: I want to learn as much about that person as
Speaker 12: I can and try to get as much of a
Speaker 12: sense of that as I can. So it's kind of
Speaker 12: like a different version of getting to know someone over
Speaker 12: the course of years socially, because you get to know
Speaker 12: them personally. But what I'm doing, I'm also getting to
Speaker 12: know them, but in a very compressed period of time,
Speaker 12: because I'm asking them questions about things that I'm specifically
Speaker 12: curious about, and I'm trying to learn as much about
Speaker 12: that individual as possible. And I think that that's part
Speaker 12: of why, even though I didn't know Brooks that well
Speaker 12: outside of all of this, I think that's part of
Speaker 12: why it was such a shock when I saw that
Speaker 12: he had passed away, because again being a fan of
Speaker 12: his music, that's part of it, but also just having
Speaker 12: sat down with him and having those conversations where I'm
Speaker 12: trying to learn as much about him as a person
Speaker 12: as possible. I think that contributes to that sense of loss,
Speaker 12: where it's like I feel like I'm I just lost
Speaker 12: a good friend, even though I didn't know him that
Speaker 12: well socially and I'd never quite it was. You know,
Speaker 12: there are other people have interviewed who've left us, and
Speaker 12: there's of course, you know, people I've been fans of
Speaker 12: who you know passed away and they say, oh, that's terrible.
Speaker 12: I'm a fan of their work. But I'd never really
Speaker 12: thought of it that way, in terms of, you know,
Speaker 12: getting to know someone over the course of an interview.
Speaker 12: I'd never thought about it in quite this context until
Speaker 12: this week, until I was thinking about Brooks and kind
Speaker 12: of analyzing that sense of terrible loss that I'm feeling,
Speaker 12: and that I know many of you who are listening
Speaker 12: are feeling as well. And you didn't have to be
Speaker 12: around him very long to be drawn to him anyway.
Speaker 12: I strongly suspect that most people who met Brooks young
Speaker 12: liked him very much immediately, and we're drawn in by
Speaker 12: his his positivity and his charisma and and of course
Speaker 12: his immense talent. So so it was quite a shock
Speaker 12: to me. But again, if anyone would like to join
Speaker 12: us today, and and you know, it might be hard,
Speaker 12: I mean, it's it's a fresh wound, so it might
Speaker 12: it might actually be hard for people to really even
Speaker 12: you know, some some people might not.
Speaker 11: Might not be ready h to talk about it.
Speaker 12: But but if you would like to share anything, the
Speaker 12: studio line is open six O three two five O
Speaker 12: six oh seven. But I'm going to play a song
Speaker 12: in the meantime. I'm going to play another Brooks Young song,
Speaker 12: and this one seems appropriate. This is from h fifteen.
Speaker 12: This is called silver Wings.
Speaker 13: Silver wins, shining in the sun lights, rowing jumps, and
Speaker 13: it's somewhere in flight.
Speaker 1: They're taking you.
Speaker 2: And leaving me loose, silver.

Speaker 12: end too, where it sounds like it's fading out and
Speaker 12: it sort of is but not quite and then it
Speaker 12: fades out. It kind of like you kind of think
Speaker 12: it's fading out sooner than it does.
Speaker 3: I like that. I like that.
Speaker 12: That is hold on to Your Heart by Brooks Young.
Speaker 12: That song, by the way, had escaped me. I had
Speaker 12: not heard that one, but I found it online and
Speaker 12: I was like, ah, one I haven't heard. And the
Speaker 12: thing with Brooks too is, you know, doing a show
Speaker 12: like this, I always have to screen the music. But
Speaker 12: Brooks never had any bad words in any of his songs,
Speaker 12: so I knew that I could play that without pre
Speaker 12: screening it and it would not be a problem. But
Speaker 12: if you are just joining us, we are spending this
Speaker 12: hour remembering our friend Brooks Young who was taken from
Speaker 12: us earlier this week in a tragic car accident. And
Speaker 12: such a talented person, and love his music and and
Speaker 12: loved him. He was just a great, great guy.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 12: It was interesting, As I said, I'd interviewed him so
Speaker 12: many times over the years, and but the when I
Speaker 12: interviewed him in twenty twenty three, I interviewed him earlier
Speaker 12: this year. I'd also interviewed him in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 12: and but I think it was the first time I'd
Speaker 12: seen him in quite a few years, at least the
Speaker 12: last time I had seen him, definitely pre pandemic. So
Speaker 12: but it's it's you know. And his hair had pretty
Speaker 12: much turned completely gray, you know, he's prematurely gray. He
Speaker 12: was only forty two when he passed away. But but
Speaker 12: it was it was I hadn't seen him since his
Speaker 12: hair would turn completely gray. But it kind of suited him,
Speaker 12: it worked for him. But yeah, such a such a
Speaker 12: great guy. I think we should Uh, I think we
Speaker 12: should continue. I you know, I hate to say it's
Speaker 12: such a cliche. I think we should let the music
Speaker 12: do the talking. But I think we should. I do
Speaker 12: think that's probably the best way to honor Brooks uh
Speaker 12: and his memory. So let's play another one.
Speaker 11: Why not? This is called same old blues Brooks Young.
