6:23 Speaker 11: Oh? Man, you want the short story of the long story?

6:25 Speaker 8: We got time for the long I like I like

6:27 Speaker 8: long stories. We got we got time.

6:30 Speaker 11: I'll try to not make it too long. I've got

6:32 Speaker 11: a good buddy that lives up in Rochester, New Hampshire,

6:35 Speaker 11: New York, New York, right, New York.

6:37 Speaker 4: Yeah.

6:38 Speaker 11: Uh. He was playing in a Dave Matthews tribute band

6:40 Speaker 11: way way back, you know, before if tribute bands were

6:43 Speaker 11: really popular. Yeah, And I have to say, you know,

6:44 Speaker 11: when I was in high school, we didn't call them

6:47 Speaker 11: tribute bands. We call them clone bands. Really, we looked

6:50 Speaker 11: down on it. We did, well, that's interesting. It's not

6:52 Speaker 11: cool to be in a tribute band. It was not

6:54 Speaker 11: something I wanted to do. But I am a Neil

6:56 Speaker 11: Young fan. Yeah, yeah, playing his music forever. So he

6:59 Speaker 11: made me come down and see these guys, and I

7:02 Speaker 11: just couldn't believe it. There was people were going crazy

7:04 Speaker 11: for it, So that planted the seed. Interesting story. Chucky

7:09 Speaker 11: had a kind of a relationship with Brad Delp from

7:12 Speaker 11: the band Boston. He did some recording in his home

7:14 Speaker 11: studios years ago. So one late night I was in

7:19 Speaker 11: Duncan Donuts and Lawrence Mass at like two in the morning,

7:21 Speaker 11: and who walks in but Brad Delt the guitar player,

7:25 Speaker 11: and he was doing the Beetlejuice thing. Oh no kidding,

7:28 Speaker 11: So true to his reputation, he sat and talked to

7:32 Speaker 11: me for thirty forty minutes.

7:33 Speaker 8: For people who don't know, Beetlejuice was, of course, the

7:35 Speaker 8: tribute to the Beatles and the.

7:38 Speaker 11: Bread did and Who's the Least Thing or Boston in

7:40 Speaker 11: a tribute band. Yeah, so that kind of opened up

7:43 Speaker 11: my you know, my mind to say, well, you know

7:46 Speaker 11: it is cool because he was a huge Beatles fan.

7:48 Speaker 11: So we came into it that way. And I had

7:53 Speaker 11: to I had to round up Chucky because we played

7:55 Speaker 11: in the band when I was eighteen and I hadn't

7:58 Speaker 11: seen him for years.

7:59 Speaker 8: Oh no, kidding him down.

8:00 Speaker 11: He was doing a gig in Boston and oh wow, hey,

8:02 Speaker 11: would you be interested? He says, I would. He says,

8:04 Speaker 11: I'm not leading any more bands, but if you want

8:06 Speaker 11: to lead it, then we'll do it.

8:07 Speaker 8: Oh no, kidding. Yeah.

8:08 Speaker 10: I had taken on my first day job at that point,

8:11 Speaker 10: so I you know, I used to play full time

8:14 Speaker 10: but then had a kid.

8:15 Speaker 8: Yeah.

8:15 Speaker 10: Life changes.

8:16 Speaker 8: Yeah.

8:16 Speaker 11: Yeah.

8:17 Speaker 10: That kid was Nate, who was here in your studio perfect.

8:19 Speaker 8: Yeah. Well I'm glad you had them.

8:21 Speaker 10: Yeah too, And I'm glad the bug bit him too.

8:24 Speaker 8: Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely.

8:27 Speaker 11: Kind of the story for us. You know, It's like,

8:29 Speaker 11: because I went to Berkeley for three years and Chucky

8:32 Speaker 11: was out there write in original music, and you know,

8:35 Speaker 11: we wanted to do it, but we were also starting

8:37 Speaker 11: to raise families. It's not really a practical lifestyle. So

8:41 Speaker 11: we're I think we fall into that category of you know,

8:45 Speaker 11: I don't know if i'd even call a semi pro,

8:46 Speaker 11: but we just we want to do it. We still

8:49 Speaker 11: want to do it, yeah, even twenty five years later. Yeah,

8:51 Speaker 11: So we just make it work the best way we can.

8:53 Speaker 8: Yeah.

8:54 Speaker 10: We do it because we love it, not to make

8:56 Speaker 10: a living doing it.

8:58 Speaker 11: Yeah. Back back then it was about that, but then

9:00 Speaker 11: we smartened up. We had to get kicked in the

9:02 Speaker 11: head a few times along the way.

9:03 Speaker 8: I did anything.

9:05 Speaker 11: What do you mean, just like you can't make it's

9:07 Speaker 11: hard to make a living? Yeah, yeah, to make big sacrifice.

9:10 Speaker 10: Right, I missed a chunk of Nate's earliest years. I

9:14 Speaker 10: was still full time going at it, and I missed

9:16 Speaker 10: so much. Let's choice you gotta make.

9:19 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, of course I know I made the right one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

9:23 Speaker 8: And so Rena, how did you? How did you come

9:26 Speaker 8: to be in the band?

9:26 Speaker 9: Yeah, A really good friend of mine, Rob Hamilton. He's

9:29 Speaker 9: the pedal steel player in the band.

9:31 Speaker 10: Okay, keyboardist, keyboardist.

9:33 Speaker 9: He's a multi talented instrumentalist, and we were good friends

9:38 Speaker 9: we were playing in a band that was kind of

9:40 Speaker 9: starting to disband a little bit, and so they were

9:43 Speaker 9: looking for some harmonies while Chuck was on the road

9:46 Speaker 9: with a Bow's gig, and so I came in to

9:49 Speaker 9: start singing some harmonies. And I was just doing a

9:52 Speaker 9: couple of songs a gig, hanging out, you know, showing

9:55 Speaker 9: up at gigs and filling in, and then these guys

9:58 Speaker 9: kind of adopted me in and I've been with them

10:01 Speaker 9: ever since.

10:02 Speaker 8: Outstanding, Yeah, outstanding. I'm done to hear you play something.

10:07 Speaker 8: Let's see, so I want to Chuck, can you play

10:10 Speaker 8: a little bit? I want to make sure we can

10:12 Speaker 8: hear you? And is there a gate on that I'm

10:15 Speaker 8: gonna well or is that might.

10:19 Speaker 10: Be getting from my vocal my kids? You're getting any

10:23 Speaker 10: level on that?

10:24 Speaker 8: Yeah? I kind of want to.

10:27 Speaker 10: This is the beta that I'm tapping now, and I'm

10:29 Speaker 10: not hearing it. I can all right, No I'm not either,

11:00 Speaker 8: I think it is. No, that's not. This is the

11:03 Speaker 8: room Mike. Here, I'm thinking about moving that.

11:10 Speaker 10: Uh sounds like kind of a pretty tight gait on that.

11:13 Speaker 8: And I just I'm just surprised that that's you know,

11:20 Speaker 8: what we might do? I have an idea, but I'm

11:22 Speaker 8: wondering if while I do this, I could play something

24:36 Speaker 8: what you meant, because you know you were saying when

24:38 Speaker 8: we were kind of getting set up and trying to

24:39 Speaker 8: figure everything out as far as Mike's you know that

24:42 Speaker 8: the harmonies are the main thing. Indeed, and I see

24:46 Speaker 8: what you mean.

24:48 Speaker 10: That's what we work the most on for sure.

24:50 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, No, the three of you sound amazing together

24:54 Speaker 8: when you when you play live with the full band,

24:56 Speaker 8: is it always the three of you harmonizing or are

24:59 Speaker 8: there other band members also singing with you?

25:01 Speaker 10: Or there are like our bass player kicks in a

25:04 Speaker 10: lot of times, like Kenny O vamp on a melody

25:07 Speaker 10: thing while we're doing a three part harmony in the background. Okay,

25:10 Speaker 10: so much fun.

25:11 Speaker 8: Okay.

25:11 Speaker 9: And does Rob ever sing No, no, now, he's too busy.

25:17 Speaker 10: Right yeah, both hands and both beat.

25:21 Speaker 9: Mikey Garren, he's that bass player and he does he

25:24 Speaker 9: does do some vocals with us sometimes.

25:25 Speaker 8: Okay, Okay, very cool. Kenny, So you had said earlier

25:30 Speaker 8: that you know, incorporating Dylan into the Neil Young material

25:34 Speaker 8: that that works really well for several reasons. So I'm

25:37 Speaker 8: curious if you can expand on that.

25:38 Speaker 11: You know, I think mainly the singer songwriter thing. Those

25:41 Speaker 11: two artists really respect each other, I think, And you know,

25:45 Speaker 11: Neil has kind of not hidden the fact that he's

25:49 Speaker 11: kind of based his career in many ways off of

25:51 Speaker 11: Dylan sure, and in his work ethic and you know,

25:54 Speaker 11: kind of his approach. These guys kind of approach it

25:57 Speaker 11: like a painter. They put on a lot of material

26:00 Speaker 11: and they don't expect it all to be good, but

26:01 Speaker 11: you know they're going to hit gold with a lot

26:03 Speaker 11: of it. So oh yeah, when you think of some

26:05 Speaker 11: artists that have three, four or five albums and these

26:07 Speaker 11: guys have like thirty some odd albums and they're just

26:11 Speaker 11: putting it out and they're they're they're following the muse. Man,

26:14 Speaker 11: they're looking at the inspiration. And I mean that's and

26:17 Speaker 11: in a lot of ways, I think for us as

26:19 Speaker 11: a live band, that's that's why we I wouldn't be

26:21 Speaker 11: able to do it for twenty five years if we

26:23 Speaker 11: were trying to do exact renditions of the songs. Sometimes

26:27 Speaker 11: it kind of pans out that way. A little bit

26:29 Speaker 11: or people think it does, but more often than not,

26:32 Speaker 11: we do what they do. They play their own songs

26:34 Speaker 11: in very different ways. So well, you know, we're still

26:37 Speaker 11: six musicians that are expressing ourselves through that music, like

26:41 Speaker 11: a bunch of people sitting playing in the you know,

26:45 Speaker 11: symphony orchestra right.

26:47 Speaker 10: Playing there, or a bunch of people sitting in a

26:48 Speaker 10: living room somewhere. It is often how it feels to

26:51 Speaker 10: me when we're playing in a theater, even just like

26:53 Speaker 10: we could just as well be gamming in someone's living room.

26:56 Speaker 10: And that's I think what our audience appreciates as well,

27:00 Speaker 10: a very intimate thing.

27:01 Speaker 9: You can always tell that we're that we're loving it,

27:03 Speaker 9: so it really brings them in with us. We've always

27:05 Speaker 9: had that vibe with the with the audience.

27:08 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent in terms of you know, because

27:14 Speaker 8: you mentioned Kenny that you know they're there's still active.

27:18 Speaker 8: When when you're choosing, when you're figuring out what to

27:21 Speaker 8: cover of these artists like Bob Dylan and Neil Young,

27:23 Speaker 8: do you ever i mean, do you kind of say, okay,

27:28 Speaker 8: we're just going to do the classic stuff or are

27:30 Speaker 8: you ever is it ever a question of Kenny's a

27:32 Speaker 8: vault man.

27:34 Speaker 4: Yeah.

27:34 Speaker 10: Yeah, he's also the king of audibles. We never know

27:38 Speaker 10: what we're gonna play, really, yeah, no kidding.

27:41 Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I kind of I go by this

27:46 Speaker 11: rule because I kind of because I have to. Yeah,

27:49 Speaker 11: I have to be inspired to want to play those

27:51 Speaker 11: particular songs.

27:52 Speaker 8: Yeah.

27:53 Speaker 11: So if we have a show coming up, I'm starting

27:54 Speaker 11: to think about it, I might sketch out a set

27:56 Speaker 11: list and I'm thinking listening to different things and and

28:00 Speaker 11: that's how I come to it. And I'm really if

28:03 Speaker 11: I ever going to do a song because we should. Okay,

28:06 Speaker 11: now I've taken some heat for that really, and you know,

28:09 Speaker 11: and I get it. I get there are certain songs

28:11 Speaker 11: that people like to hear. But yeah, but for the

28:13 Speaker 11: most part, I mean, that's been us, that's that's that's

28:17 Speaker 11: that's just who we are, you know. Yeah, And in

28:19 Speaker 11: that way, for me, it can be authentic every time

28:21 Speaker 11: we play it.

28:23 Speaker 9: I never played the very rarely have we ever played

28:26 Speaker 9: like the same show twice. I've no Sea tribute bands,

28:28 Speaker 9: and you can almost tell and I know what's next, Yeah,

28:31 Speaker 9: I've and this one's very different. This one you always

28:36 Speaker 9: and then you've got some classics in there and people

28:39 Speaker 9: that people love, so they always get a chance to

28:42 Speaker 9: hear something that they love.

28:43 Speaker 10: They also get to hear obscurities that you don't often

28:46 Speaker 10: hear on the radio or on you know, live.

28:50 Speaker 11: I say, you have tell a funny story about that.

28:52 Speaker 8: Uh.

28:52 Speaker 11: There's a a Neil tune that we like to play

28:56 Speaker 11: called big Time and it's it's influenced by the kind

28:59 Speaker 11: of or guitar guys, especially link Ray okay, and link

29:03 Speaker 11: Ray was famous for a song called Rumble, Yes, Yes, Okay.

29:06 Speaker 11: So and I kept hearing it. I'm going that, man,

29:09 Speaker 11: Rumble is in big Time. So we started doing shows.

29:12 Speaker 11: We would open with Rumble and we go right into

29:14 Speaker 11: big Time. So one of our biggest fans, who's a

29:16 Speaker 11: big Neil young fan, has seen Neil on hundred times.

29:19 Speaker 8: Yeah, he calls me up one night and.

29:20 Speaker 11: He goes, hey, I saw that Neil tune on a

29:23 Speaker 11: commercial on the radio, and that's not even possible Neil.

29:26 Speaker 11: And it turned out it was Rumble on a on

29:28 Speaker 11: a lawn seed commercial. But we tricked him. We tricked

29:33 Speaker 11: the guy that knows Neil really well.

29:34 Speaker 8: You know, yeah, Oh that's wild, that's wild, do you

29:40 Speaker 8: I mean for the most part. Well, let me ask

29:42 Speaker 8: it this way. Are there any songs Neil Young songs

29:44 Speaker 8: or Dylan songs that you've done where they become very different?

29:47 Speaker 8: I mean you obviously you kind of do them in

29:48 Speaker 8: your own way, but I mean, are there any of that? Like,

29:51 Speaker 8: I guess what I'm getting to is, has anyone ever

29:53 Speaker 8: had a problem with like coming up to you at

29:56 Speaker 8: a show and saying, hey, you really you know you

29:58 Speaker 8: shouldn't mess with that?

30:00 Speaker 11: But never heard it?

30:01 Speaker 1: Well?

30:01 Speaker 11: No, because I think I think anybody that comes to

30:04 Speaker 11: most people to come to a show to see either

30:06 Speaker 11: of Neil or yylling yeah music, they know that the

30:10 Speaker 11: original artist is famous for doing just.

30:12 Speaker 10: The exact same that like the record.

30:15 Speaker 11: Yeah, Well there's a there's a very famous story about

30:19 Speaker 11: Neil toured on Time Fades Away album and seventy four.

30:24 Speaker 8: Yeah he was.

30:24 Speaker 11: He went out and he toured and he hadn't released

30:26 Speaker 11: the album yet. Okay, so he's out there and he's

30:28 Speaker 11: playing an album's worth of songs. Yeah, oh can you

30:32 Speaker 11: hear me? Okay? Uh so somebody, uh, somebody's pissed off

30:37 Speaker 11: and they yell from the front audience play something we know.

30:41 Speaker 11: So so he stops for a minute and he huddles

30:43 Speaker 11: with the band. Yeah, comes back to the mic coast.

30:45 Speaker 11: We're gonna play something you've heard before. And they launched

30:47 Speaker 11: it to the song they just played a minute.

30:51 Speaker 8: Oh that's fine, that's wild.

30:54 Speaker 11: Now we're not we're not looking to do anything like that,

30:56 Speaker 11: not looking to spite anyone.

30:57 Speaker 10: But we haven't gotten No, I've never heard anybody. They

31:01 Speaker 10: seem to enjoy that. We're just running with it. This

31:03 Speaker 10: is tonight's version, and I think that's part of why

31:07 Speaker 10: we got some folks like Natt and a few others

31:09 Speaker 10: that come to near every show. They don't get bored

31:12 Speaker 10: because they're not hearing the same thing over and over again.

31:14 Speaker 9: We do have people that come and come back and

31:16 Speaker 9: it's just awesome, and they've come they've become part of

31:19 Speaker 9: like our family too, like some really good friends. Out

31:22 Speaker 9: of some of the fans that have come.

31:23 Speaker 10: Shut Yeah goodness. Yeah, well we Mark and Eileen.

31:29 Speaker 11: Yeah we don't. We mentioned you mentioned. I want to

31:32 Speaker 11: shout out the rest of the guys. Yeah, yeah, absolutely piano,

31:36 Speaker 11: and we mentioned Mike Garrene on bass. But we have

31:39 Speaker 11: a new drummer this past year, Matt Smalley and he's

31:42 Speaker 11: a young guy. Yeah, and he's kicking us right down

31:45 Speaker 11: the highway. It's good to have young energy in the dance.

31:48 Speaker 9: I used to be the youngest. Now I've been really

31:50 Speaker 9: But the cool thing about.

31:51 Speaker 11: Him is he is really deep into this type of music.

31:54 Speaker 8: He knows.

31:55 Speaker 11: He's a real student of.

31:56 Speaker 10: He's shedding too. You can tell he's listening to, you know,

32:00 Speaker 10: all the different people that like crazy horse versions whatever,

32:05 Speaker 10: Like he wants to really know this stuff. You can

32:07 Speaker 10: tell when he comes to rehearsal that he's been shedding.

32:10 Speaker 8: Yeah. Oh wow, Now what what happened to the previous drummer?

32:14 Speaker 8: Because I know that it seems like it's become a

32:16 Speaker 8: running theme on the show. Every drummer is in like

32:18 Speaker 8: ten different bands. Yeah, I'm wondering.

32:20 Speaker 10: We had a spinal tap.

32:22 Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, yeah, our longtime drummer Jeremy was, you know,

32:26 Speaker 11: amazing drummer. And it's a great guy around Yeah, Western Mask.

32:31 Speaker 10: Okay, he plays with Danny Klein.

32:33 Speaker 9: Yeah, he plays with the bass player founder.

32:37 Speaker 8: Oh wow, Okay, so.

32:39 Speaker 11: That's I think the travel got to be a lot. Yeah,

32:43 Speaker 11: so you know it's I wouldn't be surprised if we

32:45 Speaker 11: played with him. Again in the future, but.

32:46 Speaker 10: I hope so. But yeah, it's no offense to Matt

32:50 Speaker 10: just the way.

32:50 Speaker 8: It is now. Yeah.

32:51 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, he put in He put in twenty years.

32:54 Speaker 8: So okay, he put in some time then, yeah, put

32:57 Speaker 8: in some time. Wow. Wow was it so after twenty years?

33:01 Speaker 8: Was it scary having to find a new drummer.

33:03 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, because it worked so seamlessly. Yeah, it might

33:08 Speaker 10: have been scary thinking about it to do it.

33:11 Speaker 9: There are just certain fills and stuff that you get

33:14 Speaker 9: used to, yeah, you know, in certain drives and now,

33:17 Speaker 9: but it kind of brings this new energy, you know,

33:19 Speaker 9: playing with Matt and kind of feeling a new way

33:22 Speaker 9: of of doing interpretating the songs. He definitely Matt has

33:26 Speaker 9: this like classic feel, like you said, you can tell

33:28 Speaker 9: he's been studying this stuff. So but definitely, like over

33:32 Speaker 9: time you start to kind of expect certain fills and

33:35 Speaker 9: things like that, Right, So that's changed, but Matt's holding

33:38 Speaker 9: it down really well for us, And you know, it's a.

33:42 Speaker 11: Huge part of being in this band is not just

33:45 Speaker 11: your musicianship. It's like, are you a good hang right?

33:48 Speaker 8: Right?

33:49 Speaker 11: You shit with us? Like the vibe is it just uh,

33:51 Speaker 11: whatever our vibe is I could, I could describe it,

33:54 Speaker 11: but I mean it just has to kind of fit.

33:56 Speaker 8: Yeah, of course.

33:57 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's probably as important as a musicianship.

34:00 Speaker 8: Oh not more, but equal. Yeah, yeah, no doubt.

34:03 Speaker 11: We've been lucky that way.

34:04 Speaker 8: Yeah. Oh that's really good. That's really good. If you

34:06 Speaker 8: are just joining us, Russ Never sleeps is with us?

34:08 Speaker 8: You want to play another one? I'm dying to here,

38:54 Speaker 8: in studio here and that's amazing. By the way, you

38:57 Speaker 8: got a compliment from Peter White, who just texted me.

39:01 Speaker 8: Peter is of course host of the Morning Show with

39:03 Speaker 8: Peter White, but you can hear weekday mornings from seven

39:05 Speaker 8: to nine am here at w M and H. But

39:07 Speaker 8: he also is the program director here and yeah, he

39:10 Speaker 8: just texted me and said, you guys sound really good.

39:11 Speaker 8: So Peter, thank you, absolutely absolutely. If you are just

39:15 Speaker 8: joining us, of course we have rest Never sleeps here

39:18 Speaker 8: with us alive in studio. And is there a favorite

39:21 Speaker 8: like within or maybe you each have your own. I'm

39:24 Speaker 8: curious if if you have favorites that you play live

39:27 Speaker 8: that you're.

39:28 Speaker 11: That's a common question. It changes for me a lot.

39:31 Speaker 11: But I guess the tune I mentioned before Big Time

39:34 Speaker 11: is kind of really just because of the message of it.

39:36 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's like asking what's your favorite color. It's it's

39:40 Speaker 10: really hard to pin it down like you. It changes

39:45 Speaker 10: from moment to moment.

39:46 Speaker 9: Yeah, and it depends like what we're playing at the time.

39:49 Speaker 9: If something news coming up and we've really meshed on

39:52 Speaker 9: it and stuff, we get excited to play it.

39:54 Speaker 8: Yeah.

39:55 Speaker 9: For me, yeah, yeah, this is our new favorite. For

39:58 Speaker 9: my classic favorite, I would say comes the time, just

40:01 Speaker 9: because it's the first one I did with the band,

40:04 Speaker 9: and it's just kind of, you know, always stuck with

40:07 Speaker 9: me and my kids too. So my kids were like

40:10 Speaker 9: babies when I joined this band, and so they grew

40:13 Speaker 9: up with it, so they you know, it's just it

40:16 Speaker 9: just became like this family song, but because of me

40:20 Speaker 9: being a rusted So it's pretty cool.

40:21 Speaker 8: Oh, very cool. Is there anything that's been particularly challenging

40:26 Speaker 8: to learn?

40:29 Speaker 9: How many? Sometimes? Yeah?

40:31 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I'm going to say actually with the Dylan stuff,

40:34 Speaker 11: really well not playing it, but it's ten verses.

40:39 Speaker 2: Okay.

40:39 Speaker 8: You know what's funny about that because this came up

40:42 Speaker 8: on you know, in the second hour when when we

40:45 Speaker 8: had the Pop Farmers on and you know they do

40:47 Speaker 8: all these Irish songs for for St. Patrick's Day, and

40:52 Speaker 8: they were talking about how some of those some of

40:54 Speaker 8: those classic Irish songs are very wordy because they've got like,

40:57 Speaker 8: you know, there's one I think they do. It's got

40:59 Speaker 8: like seven to eight verses to it, and and and

41:02 Speaker 8: how that can be challenging.

41:03 Speaker 10: So so that's trying trying not to do it karaoke style,

41:07 Speaker 10: you know, right right?

41:08 Speaker 8: That is good.

41:10 Speaker 9: We do have some eight ten verses long my god.

41:13 Speaker 21: Yeah.

41:13 Speaker 8: Yeah.

41:14 Speaker 10: Fortunately they are stories, which makes them easier to remember.

41:17 Speaker 10: And you know most cases, you know, you know I

41:19 Speaker 10: Tangled Up and Blues a great example. Yeah, yeah, a

41:21 Speaker 10: lot of verses, but it's a great story. Yeah, you've

41:25 Speaker 10: heard it, and you know the stories, yeah, tend to

41:27 Speaker 10: stick a little easier.

41:29 Speaker 8: Yeah, Like like what's the one, like the wordiest Dylan's

41:33 Speaker 8: from The.

41:35 Speaker 11: Hard Rain?

41:36 Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, definitely.

41:39 Speaker 8: You ever you ever play them live and forget the words?

41:41 Speaker 11: Oh you know, I'm gonna little aids.

41:44 Speaker 1: Ye.

41:45 Speaker 11: And you know, years ago I saw Elvis Costello doing

41:48 Speaker 11: a show.

41:49 Speaker 8: Yeah.

41:49 Speaker 11: It was yeah, two big music stands with books on him.

41:52 Speaker 11: You know, it was his own music. Yeah, so he

41:56 Speaker 11: had some aids. Said that's not such a bad thing

41:57 Speaker 11: if you.

41:58 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, of course of course. And then like

42:03 Speaker 8: what's uh so the songs that you started because again

42:06 Speaker 8: you've been is twenty five years thereabouts. The way that

42:12 Speaker 8: you play some of those because I assume the songs

42:15 Speaker 8: that you played in the beginning you're still playing, right, Yeah,

42:17 Speaker 8: a lot of them. Have those kind of evolved in

42:19 Speaker 8: terms of how you approach.

42:21 Speaker 10: Them, sure, a little bit, not in huge ways, but.

42:24 Speaker 11: I mean we're testing went off for the next show

42:26 Speaker 11: that we haven't played in a long time. Really, yeah,

42:29 Speaker 11: that'll be surprised.

42:30 Speaker 10: You're not giving them a way Okay, okay, yeah, but

42:33 Speaker 10: by that, I mean they don't change drastically. But tonight

42:37 Speaker 10: I felt different than I did the last time we

42:39 Speaker 10: played it. So my little part is going to be different, right, right,

42:42 Speaker 10: And that's going to everybody in the band's playing off

42:45 Speaker 10: of each other. Rights their nuances to change, but not

42:49 Speaker 10: major ways. Sometimes we've come up with a different groove

42:52 Speaker 10: trying to yeah.

42:53 Speaker 9: Differently, rhythm will change. We'll play around with the rhythm

42:56 Speaker 9: sometimes and sometimes we have a slow version.

42:59 Speaker 10: We have a fast for yeah, yeah, yeah, and sometimes

43:03 Speaker 10: that's not on you know, that's not planned.

43:05 Speaker 14: Right.

43:07 Speaker 8: I'm also curious if any of the Neil Young stuff

43:09 Speaker 8: is hard to play from a guitar perspective, because I

43:13 Speaker 8: don't know, like the solos. Some of his solos are

43:16 Speaker 8: so weird.

43:18 Speaker 7: I love it.

43:19 Speaker 9: Kenny.

43:20 Speaker 10: Kenny does a lot more shutting on how Neil would

43:22 Speaker 10: approach that, and then he lets me do what I do.

43:25 Speaker 10: Oh really, I don't feel like a crazy horse guy

43:27 Speaker 10: when I get to a solo. I just play what

43:30 Speaker 10: you know, I don't read, I don't you know. I

43:33 Speaker 10: just wing it because I've been doing that since I

43:34 Speaker 10: was a kid. And uh, it's nice to have that

43:38 Speaker 10: kind of and you do the same.

43:40 Speaker 11: Yeah, but I tend to. I tend to in the

43:41 Speaker 11: rock tunes anyway. I have that sound you hit.

43:46 Speaker 10: On your black lest Paul, You're hitting that Bigsby and

43:48 Speaker 10: I'd swear sometimes and I'm listening to Neil playing Yeah.

43:51 Speaker 9: It's one of my favorite parts of this of when

43:54 Speaker 9: we play out listening to them play yeah, yeah, yeah,

43:58 Speaker 9: it's definitely a tree yeah yeah. But Kenny gets that sound,

44:03 Speaker 9: that raw, you know, dirty Neil Young tune, and it's

44:07 Speaker 9: just really good.

44:08 Speaker 10: A lot of folks just compare it to the Stills

44:10 Speaker 10: Young okay interaction from back in the day. Really, but

44:14 Speaker 10: when we listen to it back you know, recordings or whatever,

44:17 Speaker 10: I get the similarities, but it's so different. It's us.

44:19 Speaker 8: Yeah.

44:20 Speaker 10: Yeah, we're not trying to be them.

44:22 Speaker 8: Yeah, of course.

44:23 Speaker 11: And I think that's the testament to that we we

44:25 Speaker 11: get we captured the vibe. Yeah, because you know, like

44:28 Speaker 11: I don't sound like Neil Young, but a lot of

44:30 Speaker 11: people think it's dead on, but no, if you listen

44:32 Speaker 11: to it side by side, it isn't. But there's something

44:34 Speaker 11: about it that I get.

44:35 Speaker 8: Well, that's what I was curious about, because I mean,

44:37 Speaker 8: it's one thing to get the tone, but it's another

44:38 Speaker 8: thing to actually play like him, right, because I don't know.

44:42 Speaker 8: I can't think of anybody else who plays like him,

44:45 Speaker 8: you know what I mean? Right? And I don't even

44:46 Speaker 8: know how to maybe you know you probably do. I

44:48 Speaker 8: don't even know how to describe. Like if somebody were

44:50 Speaker 8: ask me, well, how does Neil Young play a guitar solo?

44:53 Speaker 8: I wouldn't know how to even describe it. Well.

44:56 Speaker 11: There was a Rolling Stone interview or not Know. It

44:59 Speaker 11: was a review of of his albums back in the day.

45:01 Speaker 11: It was one of his rock tones. I think it

45:03 Speaker 11: was like a hurricane, okay, and the person writing the

45:08 Speaker 11: article said it sounds like down power line snapping off

45:13 Speaker 11: the ground, you know, like that. That sounds pretty good.

45:16 Speaker 11: And I found out later that he had been listening

45:18 Speaker 11: to a lot of John Coltrane, Okay, and it's very

45:20 Speaker 11: kind of anastic that that got into his and got.

45:24 Speaker 10: Into you can hear that intro City pics.

45:26 Speaker 11: Yeah, sure, absolutely, And I think his musical beings were

45:30 Speaker 11: all like that. We kind of absorbed different things and

45:33 Speaker 11: it comes out in our own little way, you know.

45:35 Speaker 8: Yeah. Absolutely. Is there a crowd favorite? Is there? Is

45:39 Speaker 8: there anything particular that you all play that you notice?

45:42 Speaker 10: Harvest Moon? They love Harvest Moon.

45:46 Speaker 9: They always asked for it.

45:48 Speaker 11: Sure, we don't always play that one now, but.

45:51 Speaker 9: One one crowd favorite too is Cowgirl in.

45:53 Speaker 10: The Sandy because of the jam.

45:55 Speaker 9: Yeah, because of that jam. Sectually, Old Man Hard. We

45:58 Speaker 9: do play this mostly, okay, okay, Yeah, and then once

46:02 Speaker 9: in a while they'll get a treat. We'll do Rocking

46:04 Speaker 9: in the Free World and oh no, everyone.

46:05 Speaker 10: Digs that we've done that acoustic handle liqu that's right,

46:09 Speaker 10: really yeah, and I love both of them, but yeah,

46:11 Speaker 10: that can go twenty minutes.

46:13 Speaker 8: Yeah really yeah. Yeah.

46:14 Speaker 11: And there's the first thing about Neil, because he's got

46:18 Speaker 11: those two versions out there, yeah, they're different from me, John.

46:20 Speaker 9: Yeah, everybody knows that. That's a popular one that we do.

46:24 Speaker 8: Yeah, Oh, very cool, excellent, excellent, So we should remind

46:29 Speaker 8: people too as we get close to the top of
