Matt Connarton Unleashed 4-27-23

0:00 The day the Mussy Die. Welcome everybody, here we go. It is that time again, Matt Connerton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of wm n H ninety five point three FM and Glorious Downtown Manchester, New Hampshire, also on Comcast ninety seven. If you're in Manchester, Hello to Oliver our online listeners across the nation and around the globe. You can go to my website Matt Connerton dot com for all of your live streaming options, social media links, contact info, show archives, etc. Etc. Today is Thursday, April twenty seven, twenty twenty three, so nice to have you all with me.

1:27 By the way, the music that you heard at the top of the show, we opened with a side of the Times a little band called Chemical Distance, which I happened to have been in at the time of the recording of that little number. So every once in a while I play something that I was a part of, and because why not. It's my show, and that's my favorite song that we did, and I think it's appropriate. It's it's got a certain timelessness about it. Sign of the Times. It's almost a pun really, if you think about it.

1:58 I didn't mean to do that, but I'm so I'm just that good. It just flows effortlessly from me my friends anyway, No, I'm kidding, but except the part about that being Sign of the Times by Chemical Distance, and yes, I was in the band. And then we heard a little bit of a cover. We heard some American Pie by President Yune of South Korea. He visited the White House for an event today and apparently he really likes to do karaoke and that is a song that he likes to sing a karaoke. Apparently it's his favorite song, or at least it's his favorite American song.

2:37 So I thought that was a cool moment. And they presented him with a guitar that was played by or owned by Don McLean and uh, so it was pretty cool. But uh and uh, there was something else about that too. I wanted to mention that was kind of it was kind of interesting. I forget what it was now, but oh, you know what I wanted to mention, and that apparently it's been a decade since since a president of South Korea has visited the White House in the United States, so it's kind of a big deal. But yeah, we have an exciting show for you today.

3:12 Coming up in the second hour, we're gonna be joined by Peter Pappas in studio. He's gonna bring his acoustic guitar and his harmonica and he's gonna play some songs for us and we'll talk. And I'm really looking forward to interviewing him, as I think I'd mentioned the other day because he had told me, oh no, I'm sorry. Peter White had told me that. Apparently Peter Pappas was Peter White's biology teacher in high school. And Pappas played in the band Headshop with don Te Tibbets, so so that's pretty cool.

3:43 So who knows, maybe we'll hear from one of those guys while Peter Pappas is here today. We'll see, but really looking forward to that. I love his music. I played a couple of his songs the other day and great voice, really really good songwriter, so I look forward to hearing him live. So that'll be coming up in the second hour to at five pm. In the first hour, I think we're gonna be joined for a little bit by EASYG for his entertainment report. I also want to talk today too, and we'll see how much time we have to really get into it.

4:11 But there's a piece of bipartisan legislation currently in the Senate, and it is so unusual to have actual bipartisan legislation. Always nice to see both parties working together on something, isn't it? Well, not necessarily. What if the bipartisan legislation happens to be a terrible idea, Well maybe we'll get into that. We'll see how much time we have. If not, if we don't get to it today, we'll definitely get to it tomorrow. But if you'd like to join us, Oh, actually, this is probably EASYG calling for his entertainment report.

4:45 Hello, Hey, I didn't have to guess your name comes up on the caller ID. Oh good, yeah, yeah, I never have to guess. How are you? Eric? Not too bad? All names come up when they say call in. I cannot tell you that because it is a proprietary information. Yes, it's a secret. True. Actually, i'll you know what. You know what. I will be completely honest with you. I was, I was sort of kidding. Your name does not come up on the caller ID. The reason I know it's you is because I just recognized the phone number your name.

5:29 Now, some people's names do show up on the caller ID. So, for example, when someone like like Shannon calls, when I say Shannon's on the line, it's because her name shows up on the caller ID. But some people, uh, sometimes it'll be a familiar phone number, but their name doesn't come up, but yours is easy to remember your phone number, right, right number for a while, I guess, Yes, how are you? Oh, I'm not too bad? Good you are? What do you do? Oh? I'm good? Yeah? What are you? Uh? What are you up for?

6:05 An entertainment report? I believe so. Yeah. Well, I hope it's a good one. I do on Thursday. I hope it's a good one. I hope it is informative and entertaining. I'm gonna mentioned somebody and I think I've ever mentioned the radio before, So that's a good time during the report, right, Oh, well, this is exciting. I'm already on pins and needles. I'm gonna go ahead and hit your intro. Here he was once, I'm around the way. Easy you want to know about stock market crashes? COVID nineteen, drive buys, celebrity gossip, Easy, gee's got you?

6:44 Entertainment reports stacks wowes think nutting, but a jeep, Thank baby back. Are you ready for stock? Let's find out? Ready, let go? Anyway, I might have bumped in this girl, I think once and they had that Pride Pride party over by the oh yeah, right down the street from from First Church. They had it because they have that restaurant there with the two fellows there. Well, I hope you go ninety five. The grease out was a real hot day. I hope you said excuse me when you bumped into her? See what I did there?

7:21 Yeah? I think she was playing up on the stage area. There was Elie and if you right here from Manchester Jazzmine Man, Jasmine Man. Yes, you asked me to play a sorrow today on Facebook and I told her the I was gonna dedicate the show to her today. S oh cool. Do you think she's listening right now? I don't know. I've ever reached out to her as far as I'm sure she has songs, but I reachurned to today. There might be on Google or something. I do know anyway, Google, but the Google I reached out, I told her played this only song aqufine is that cover song?

7:56 But make no difference. I guess she sings huh and I'm quite sure who's things that song but me and neither. It's pretty good. Yeah, she's very talented. I guess we can play at the end of the short report. Well, actually, Zeg, I'm gonna meet you halfway once again. I will play a Jasmine Man song for you, but not that one, because I found one of her originals and I think it would be great to feature because she's I think, an excellent songwriter. I think it would be great to feature in one of her original songs.

8:29 By the way, she's been on she's been on Granite State of Mind, Rob as a Vetos show. That's what I thought. I think, I think more than once. She In fact, she played at the book release party at the Bookery a few years ago for one Yeah, for Rob's book notes from the Last Breath Farm. Jasmine played there there. Yes, and she has played at the hop Knot. I believe more than once. Yeah, she just played there the other day. According to uh a little retalt to me on Facebook, mantor there I believe. On on twenty it's around the corner.

9:02 Well, she has a song There's a Little Bag. A couple of days ago. Well, she has a song called Mountain Green, which she performed live on Rob's Show. And that's actually what I'm what I'm gonna play or information trying to find something. I'm like an internet sleuth, EAZG. I want to know who your real father is. I can probably find out for you. I'm that I retail during Facebook mess so I'll send me a link. I can find us in a song. Great. Yes, speaking of guys, he's gonna be playing all right tomorrow over the new Cafe La n at the north end, right down the street from the back room there.

9:41 It's on the north side where Blake's used to be. I think everybody remembers that place. Oh yeah, Blake's white. Alex bought it over from the other She's the same mornings at Cafe laun. I'm sure what's been there for ten years? Huh.

9:54 I suspect you might have gone in there. I went to twice again some coffee or something. So's trying to eat woo me. Yeah you no, never, Okay, I know what. Guy loves that place. That's why they never went there. If I'd got there a million times, uh huh, damns, yep. I think it's pronounced bod, is it bod? She's still singing, singing, singing up a storm by a great singer here in town. She often performs at the hop Knot as well. Yeah, I know that's great. I haven't seen her there at the hop Knot by seeing the cafe on the run about a million times over the years.

10:31 Uh huh. Anyways, I didn't give a shout out to a guy. I'm shout out. I know this guy. He's a big man, a maccath fan. I sa to see him fisher Cat games, and I've ben't bumped into him at the another thing, I say, Hey, how's it going? John? So that was that was a putt in surprise. No shout outs to John John Who? Johnson like the most common male name in America, John Who. True, I don't always last naybody. He's the biggest guy named John. M I guess you asked me if she's just got married. I said, yeah, around the corner.

11:00 There's no way, I said, tried to get it to come here, but it didn't happen. So if he's listening, he said, he's still doing that thing on the radio. Said yeah, why not? All that's great? Yeah, shout outs to John if you're listening. Yeah, all right, we'll go to the big, big event here. It's coming right around the corner. How to believe next Thursday, the uh it's gonna be I don't know how. Yeah, it's gonna be a difficult feet against hid the bend, but I know you'll figure it out. Next Thursday. Call it the world's largest tacle tour.

11:29 Over one hundred restaurants, and I've been told this year they're gonna order more tackles. I guess last year they ran out, so that's not good. Oh yeah, if you want to get some handover street, I guess some some infant, yeah guests, some tackle to our merchandise, hats, t shirts and as you can go there and support them, you know, yeah, next week forty eight in cash, three dollars with the tackles. Oh yes, it's rain or shining head. It might be a little bit of rain, but hope won't ran on the parade, as they always say.

11:57 I think the key there is just don't let rain on your taco. Nobody likes a saggy taco. A couple of years ago and right, the weather wasn't too too too good, but it was a more opportunity to get tacos because they weren't bumping into a lot of people anyway. Climan and McCarthy was playing. That was great. I bet if I would talk about the music, the sponsor is ninety two point five. All these events are giving a veterans park. He might have heard this band and they should be the headline. MS. Donner right local band here, Yes, very talented gentleman nothing Jeffrey Keynes and band Stand, Frank Violey not all Best, not Broken, and Colleen Green.

12:37 None of those bands are anything familiar to me, but I know I see Donner once and they at um right downtown here at the right down the street from Calf of Iron losing but the end of way that I started to play once in there. Boy, they're pretty good obviously. That's been a band for a long time here. I mean, I know Peter White's the big band. Oh yes, daughter A Yale who was on That's Liver on here anymore. But she's a bigger doughter of FM fandom of the story right yeah yeah, nick La Valley of course, uh and uh some other some other yeah.

13:11 Yeah. He's always busy, Yes, yes, he's a very busy man, which is great. Yes, I admire that. I want to check that out four to eight pm obviously, then be next Thursday. And also it's also the day's Star Wars day. Oh that's right, May the fourth, Wait, No fIF is single the miles. It's gonna be a lot of people downtown supporting local business. Yes, yes, you know a business. I'll think you speaking local businesses. Don't forget too. I'm assuming the house I got a taco abandon. It's a cover because right downtown Queen City cup gigs.

13:45 Oh yes, so tasty, so tasty, and I don't I don't they'll be involved because they're over in VALLEYSI well go check them out. The business called about Creamland. They are my friends here. So where's I could get a nice penny? The boat with with ice cream and all that puckers? I said, well you go with a cream does uh? I don't look, I don't know the lay. He's ever been there before. But does that I cream float and all that fun stuff? Does that Green City Cupcake? Do they participate in taco to her?

14:15 I believe they did a couple years ago. And I can't speak for them going out there, obviously, but because I guess the white, because why would they not a delicious cupcake taco And we always say, what don't been a cupcake with nine degrees out? Oh that's right on a on a hot day, nothing like a like a delicious cupcake.

14:37 Yeah true, All right, well, well I'll go on to the next great thing here. Yeah, April the date. But she felt he playing with playing, you know, he might have heard those big big machines. There were a big machine. Oh the in the I'm born. I'll forget about that stuff around or on the local Inhampster area and other bards. I don't don't forget to check out of our new available on music called Smoke on Spotify, Apple and all the platforms. And I'll just go into this one because I talked about the other events that they're kind of far away, so the focus on this one made made twenty tickets are available courseman dot com called the Country crawled landsdowne Boston, right down around the corner from Fenway parkets around the area called Country Fast and starts at ten ams, probably gonna go on most of the day and ticket us there are thirty five dollars and if you want to get extra lucky with the seats and you have a two x dollars in pocket VIP or one hundred dollars and we'll go through the list one more time.

26:40 Crystal, our friend from the great state of Illinois, joins us, Hello Crystal. Also Tom Blanchard is in the chat. Hello. Jay Fed of course from the great state of Vermont joins us. Crystal, says Peter Pappas plays would be a tongue twister for Cindy Brady Brady Bunch reference. If Peter White is listening, I'm sure he appreciates that there's a book. Oh maybe he's not here anymore. Maybe he took it home. There was a book here of Brady Bunch trivia. Actually at one point here in the studio behind the desk here, Scott Robinson joins us in the chatwoman says, now this is entertainment, a new affirm of the spark from of course checking in from Greensboro, North Carolina, says, good afternoon.

27:20 Hashtag Matt, we said, how are you doing high? Hashtag Crystal we say to you from us Hey. Hashtag Texas Mike, we say to you, we said you are going to be our good manager producer. We said, going to be. I thought that was already a done deal. I thought Texas Mike was already on board. Jay Fed says, I never met a cupcake. I didn't like you're referring to, of course Easyg's entertainment report. He was talking about tacos, you know, the taco tours coming up, and then knock Queen City Cupcake Crystals suggested maybe they have a dessert taco there.

28:02 I'll tell you what, I cannot eat that stuff. I can't eat anything. I don't think I'm ever again eating a cupcake or any kind of cake and anything with that much sugar in it. I recently I had gone a long time without eating anything like that anyway. I don't have much of a sweet tooth to begin with. I did when I was a kid. I don't anymore, and haven for a while. But it was somebody's birthday and I had a piece of cake for the first time in a long time, never again. That was it. That was it. I told Jenny.

28:31 I said, I'm done ever eating anything like this. What happened was I ate this piece of cake. It was delicious, But the stomach ache that I had immediately afterward, it was clear to me. It was my body telling me, hey man, we don't ingest cake anymore. We got used to not having cake, and now you're having cake, and it was. It was the strangest stomach ache I've ever had. It wasn't like a normal stomach ache. It felt different and in a very bad way. It felt like it was almost like heartburn, but in my stomach.

29:11 It's very hard to describe. It was a sensation. It was a kind of stomach ache I'd never had before in my life. And I just said, that's it. I'm never eating anything like this again. So that that broke me of any inclination to eat any any cake or anything with a lot of sugar like that. No, no, thank you. So I don't think I'll be eating any cupcakes anytime soon. A Crystal says, maybe the cupcake cupcake people make a different a dessert taco cake, taco shell with a with an icing or ice cream filling, maybe some chocolate, caramel, strawberry or marshmallow sauce.

29:55 That actually sounds kind of disgusting to me. Maybe I'd feel differently about it had I not had that bad experience with the cake. Rick Smith joins us in the Facebook lave chat. He says, I hope there will be many porta potties near the tacos. I don't know. I don't know how that works exactly. I've never uh participated in Taco Tour because I'm on the air when it starts, and then by the time I get off the air and get out there, there's huge lines everywhere. So you gotta get in there early, you know what I mean.

30:25 Easyg is back on the line. Hello, Yeah, look at my report if I got one taking important thing walk against hunger for the Yeah. Yeah. May twenty first is for the charities of the Soup Kitchen and all that stuff that you can. Yeah, I can sign up a noontime. There's a couple of hours. I don't know. It's a little bit walk three and a half miles and the jolly old time there would be some food after hot dogs and Coca Cola soda. Papa has to call it in chips so many which I that is very you and everybody else on the station very much.

30:58 Yes, ma, any first, yep, very good. I'm sorry to hear about your sigar thing. Are you interesting? Yeah, he's sure you're not diabetic or something. I am sure, yes, yeah, I don't know. It was just very strange. I think it was just because I hadn't eaten anything like that in a long time, so eating that was just uh, it was nasty and my body just rejected it. That's weird. I guess you gotta stay were from the cigar retreats. I guess, I guess. So. Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, oh yeah, not known.

31:35 I'll be hanging out all right, Eric, bye bye, all right, very good. Yeah, So walk against Hunger. That is a wonderful and very important event. You should have known by now, easy do let's see um Scott Robinson says in the chat room, I heard the Hulkster is going to make an appearance at the Taco tour. I don't think that's true. Jenny is in the chatroom and says shalom, peeps, R I'm late. And also Eric Street joins us in the Chatwoman says, yo, hello Eric. Yeah. Scott says we need to stop forgetting stuff for the Entertainment Report.

32:11 Yes, I agree. Also, our friend Miriam banishes in the Facebook live chat. Hello Miriam. It was nice to see her on the show yesterday.

There, sir, but hanging out in the corner with the giant cardboard Peter Whitehead, Peter Pappas is here.

49:04 How are you, sir? Good? Matt, how are you doing good? Good? Did you notice the do you feel like he's staring at you the giant cardboard Peter Whitehead a little bit? Yeah, yeah, he's kind of kind of looking off into the sunset here. I have to tell you when that first arrived in the studio. Initially I found it a little bit off putting because I felt like he was staring at me, you know. And I love Peter, but it took a little while to get used to the giant cardboard Peter Whitehead. But now I find him oddly comforting.

49:35 It's like he's he's just sort of watching over everything, and it's it's quite nice. And uh I gazed into his eyes, and I find it quite soothing. I can understand that he looks like he's very inviting. Yes, yes, and we were talking. By the way, he had texted me. I think it was yesterday. He sent me a text and said that you were his biology teacher when he was in high school. Yeah, I was, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a while ago, all right. So I don't know how much you remember because it was a while ago, obviously, But what can you do You remember anything about what kind of a student he was or are you legally prohibited from sharing that with us?

50:13 So I remember peeping a really good student. Yeah, oh yeah, oh that's so fun. I wish I had a story for you, man, But yeah, no, I understand, I understand. You know, I'm always looking for the dirt. Yeah, but uh did you um, do you do you actually remember him from yesh? Yeah, okay, I do, I do, yeah, because he was you know, he's so tall that he probably shods out in your mind for that reason. He's like, what is he like Sixthtown or something? He was, he was tall. Yeah. And uh, the other thing too that he told me is that you used to play in the band Headshop with the one and only don Te Tibbots exactly.

50:52 Yeah. That was Those years were great. I mean, what a what a blast? Uh. You know, the music was great. You know, we did songs that we loved, from the one hit Wonders to the you know psychedelic era. It was. It was great, you know, and you know, keep ta kept us laughing all the time. It was. It was just a fun, fun thing. Yeah, I was in I was in it for sixteen years and then I, uh, you know, dropped out. And you know, they continued, they continue to play for for a while a long time, maybe even maybe even twelve years before.

51:22 And I would sit in every once in a while when they needed someone on base. But or I'd go to see him and asked me, you know, sit in do a couple of songs, so it was always great. Yeah, yeah, that was a that was a great uh experience. Yeah, why why did you why did you leave? The band? Just got busy with other things I did, and you know, I've been playing professionally since seventy two, yes, so you know, and uh, you know, I mean I was gone almost every weekend, so I think it was time to give my wife a break.

51:52 I got you. Yeah. By the way, so our friend Jason Fetterson we call him j fed but he's uh currently living in the great state of Vermont. He says that you were his biology teacher too. Do you remember Jason Federson? Yeah? I do. I remember the name. YEP, I'll be damn yeah. I'm really good with names, but like faces, you know, especially now students come up and they've changed so much, you know. Oh yeah, uh he says, Uh, mister Pappas, are there any body parts that get oxygen directly or just through blood?

52:25 A biology question? Wow, you weren't expecting that. Worry. Oh no, I got music on the brave. He can't just shift gears. You can give me his email. I'll get back to him one that one. He's not a dancing bear. Jay fed. He can't just uh give you what you wanted at any given moment. Oh that's funny though, that he that he asked you that. I mean, even bone has cells that need oxygen, So I don't know. I don't know what he's conferring to. Okay, okay, um I was, He says, Haha, you are the best. I was. I was terrible at science in schools expect I certainly wasn't.

53:01 I wouldn't know. Do you still teach? Uh no? No, Uh my wife are also taught too. She taught art, so uh we both we both build an oh eight? Okay, yeah, yeah, gotcha. Um, well, I'm I'm dying to hear you played. Do you want to? Um? Do you want to play a couple of songs? We'll we'll chat some more. Yep, sure, cool, cool, I'll let you Uh what what are you? I don't know? If you want to let me pull that guitar up? There we go? That sounds good? Yeah, I thought I would. This is seventy three Martin and I I got recently got totally rehauled.

So Andrea was a next student and she she played in my uh my son's band or the band uh with my son uh back in high school and then uh like first a second year of college and then she went out and did her old thing. So yeah, we go way back. Oh yeah, yeah, Andree is a sweetheart.

54:13 The reason I thought of her is because she she also she was on the show last week and she had an old guitar. Oh and and she was talking about how you know a great deal you know, because it's she explained it, like there's a warmth like old guitars as long as they're well taken care of, they have a warmth to them that comes with with time. Yeah, and the aging process too of the wood, you know. So you know, like a lot of tailors are really they sound a kind of high endy, but over time they'll warm up a little bit.

Hey man, it's Polly, Hey Paul, what's up. I don't know if mister Pappas is going to remember me. Mister Pappas. It's Paul Cormier, class of eighty five at Central.

I saw you at the beginning of the show, but now that I'm listening to you on the radio, you've got a very distinct Paul Simon ish voice.

1:03:17 Yeah. I get a lot of that when I play out, like yeah, I can imagine, yeah, yeah, I was gonna do. Uh, I'm gonna do a couple of one Paul Simon tune at least, but maybe another. But uh yeah, and you know, usually I I don't know, Matt, if you if you had heard that, uh you know, I usually play with a harmonizer pedal. Oh yes, right, and you know and uh so you know the harmonizer pedal. I call it Garfuncle because that's basically you know, it's always like a third above sell. But anyway, but I think I can do a couple of Simon tunes without Garfuncle.

He and I've done a lot of work together over the years. Wow, for over many years. Oh my god. If you're just joining us, we are live with Peter Pappas is in studio here and he's been playing some songs for us.

1:17:11 Sounds absolutely amazing, is there, um, Peter? Is there? Like when when you were playing, uh, when you played the Neil Young song, I was I was just thinking. I've heard people say that Neil Young is kind of difficult to cover? Is that true, like because he's a little unconventional in terms of how he writes songs. And yes, um, I do a ton of Neil Young, and uh yeah, some of like Heart of Gold is rather hard to sing. I don't know why. Uh maybe it's the register. But also you know, he sings really high.

1:17:45 So but I mean that's you know, easy to fix because you can do it out of another key. But m yeah, I was gonna ask, you know, one like you transposed it to a different key. No, that's the actual key he does it. That is yeah, okay, But um, there's a you know, some other songs that I do, uh not. Actually most of the songs I do are actually in the key that he does it on the record, But uh, Uh. Yeah. I watched a clip of him do a song um u, an old Buffalo Springfield song, and I was going to actually try but um when he was in Buffalo Springfield and he actually did it out of another key, which was interesting.

1:18:24 Oh okay, but yeah yeah yeah. Neil Young is not you know, easy to do in terms of vocals, you know. Yeah, and even some of his guitar work, you know, if you want to get it just right, he adds these little tiny things in between verses and stuff, which is really cool. Yeah, so you know, you got to pick up on that. So yeah, yeah, he has a unique approach. Yea. His solos are very different, Yeah, that's for sure. Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah. Um. I was asking to too about the harmonica because I've always been fascinated by you know, because it occurred to me when you're playing the harmonica while you're playing the guitar.

1:18:59 I mean, you're literally really playing two instruments at once, did you, Um, was that a challenge for you to learn to do that or or does it come as naturally as singing and playing at the same time. Um. It took a little bit, but it kind of fell into place, you know, So yeah, yeah, you know, I recently started doing a duo again with um, a long time BAM mate. We go back to well, our first gig together was in seventy two. We've been in an acoustic trio, played full time in seventy four, you know, lived in newber Report, traveling all around, so that was great and so uh and then you know, we played off and on as a duo, and then recently I decided to get back together with him.

1:19:40 So occasionally we do a duo and I'm you know, I still do my solo thing, which is great, so I have the best of both worlds. But you know what, the duo gives me a chance to play some leads and also break out my mandolin which I left Oh no kidding, Oh you play the mandolin too. How did you put any other instruments that you play? I know you bass. You said you played bass and head shop, right, Yeah, that's that's about all I play on the tracks, you know when I when I do my own stuff, so it's you know, mando, harmonica and guitar and bass.

1:20:10 So um yeah, so that's a lot of fun. You know, I get to you know, rock it out a little bit, so um, yeah, so we're actually we're playing as a duo tomorrow night at the Holy Grail as a little plug if Oh yeah, yeah, Ben Epping, So if you want to come and hear that, and uh what do you do the full night you do? Uh yeah, it's six to nine. Okay, yeah, sorry about that, six to nine. I always leave out the time and well it's on my on my Facebook page. So yeah, yeah, so that'd be fun and uh um, you know I'm around you Just check out Peter Pappas Music on Facebook and you can find out where I'm playing.

1:20:47 Yeah. Oh, by the way, Paulic says, DJ Steve sat in with Buffalo Springfield. Do you know DJ Steve Steve Light No, Yeah, he's he's kind of a legend around. Well, he's one of our co hosts on Retrospectrum Radio. But he uh yeah, he sat in with Buffalo Springfield. He he did a lot of work with fog Hat. He knows those guys very very well. Really yeah, yeah, I think he actually filled in for one of them, one of them was sick and they were playing in Manchester. Yeah, it's a whole thing, but uh yeah, yeah, DJ Steve he's he's a legendary around here.

1:21:16 Um oh you know what I wanted to ask you too. So you told me a little bit about um off air the your originals, right, we played we played a couple of them earlier. We played at Life a Struggle and uh, You're in My Head. I really like both songs. You're in my Head though, in particular, something about it really connects with me. I love that song. Oh thank you, so it gets stuck in my head. I mean I just that's that's a great song. Did did you write both of those? Uh just by yourself? Or yeah? All yeah, all those songs you're written by me?

1:21:50 Uh that song in particular. Um so, uh, you know, my my wife asked me one day, she goes, you know, you've playing a long time, and you've written some stuff. I've written a lot of stuff that I haven't recorded. Yea, And she said, but she never wrote a song about me, and so that song is about her. And the first time I saw her, it's literally that's what happened. She was walking in the crowd and I just could I just saw no one else but her, you know, And that's the first first and then uh, you know, we were off and on for a while and then we finally connected that last time when I was playing and people might remember this back in the day when I was playing at the Salty Dog in Manchester, which was down by where the old the bank.

1:22:34 There's a bank now, but it was on the corner of Bridge and Elm Street there right in that area. So that's you know, that was the old Tryad Salty Dog, Red Onion and then it was another place I forget, I keep forgetting the name of that, but anyway, so, uh so, yeah, she was, she was there. She was working as a waitress there, so oh wow. And that's and that's when we finally uh you know, she chased me down and then so I kind of knew it was serious at that point, you know, yeah, yeah, that's really cool.

1:23:05 And uh fortunately, you know, when when I went out to La to visit my son, who's who, like I told you, he's a LA musician. Yeah, he brought me into his studio and he called a bunch of his musician friends and they came and played on it and I played the song for the really interesting thing this is how really good musicians they are. I played the song for them twice, and then we set up live. Everybody was you know, uh, the guitar player, the drummer, Christopher, my son, Christopher played bass on that.

1:23:37 And I was in another you know, uh studio, no, I mean another uh uh forget what they're called my boo booth. Yeah, yeah, thank you, and uh and we just played it a couple of times and then I overdubbed the harmonies and then Christopher played, Um, he played a melotron on it, yeah, because studio had an old melot like an original melotron, so he played some keys on it too, and uh and then uh, I sent it to um, another guy that's played on my records, and he uh he mixed it and mastered it and you know, sent it back to me and we tweaked it a little bit.

1:24:18 I wrote some notes and said, now I want I want the reverb turned up where this turned down. And then that's how it came the boat. So oh yeah. So uh and and this this fall, I hope to have another song ready and we're going to do it again and hopefully all those guys would be around. You know, I told you Jack Lawless, who tours with the Jonas Brothers, play drums. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, that's awesome, and then we all go and hang out. It's just great man. Like I told you, it's just a it's a different scene out there.

1:24:48 Yeah, yeah, no doubt. Oh. DJ Steve is in the chat room and says, does your guests remember the Morning Sun Coffee House? The Morning Sun Coffee House. I don't. I don't remember that. Where can you give me a little bit more, a few more clues? Yeah, give us give us more clues there, DJ Steve and Tom Blanchard says, uh, salty dog owned by Joey Ferrety Fred FARRETTI my my big brother's best friend. Oh yeah, see I I didn't grow up in Manchester, so I don't you know. I'm always learning. I'm always learning more of the history of the city, and you know I live here now.

1:25:29 But um. DJ Steve also said, good afternoon. Matt stops spreading rumors. He's very humble about his experience, like with fog Hat, you know. But uh, well, we'll we'll we'll see. Uh, we'll see afterward if he if he answers your question. But do you want to play another song? Sure, we're dying to hear more. I say we because everybody in the chat room is loving it. Oh, let me turn that pike down there we go. God, I love the way that guitar sounds. Yeah, it's it's yeah, I'm actually impressing it's mind.

1:26:03 Yeah, okay, let's let's let's try this right him. Yeah, it's smoothed a little bit. That's the other problem too. You got you gotta put this, especially if you want to bend notes. If it's like a little sideways, you just can't get that, you know, total suction on the thing's right. Yeah, So I do this a little bit different. That's more of a I heard this um uh, this Americana band do it, and I love their version of it. And because I used to do it really fast, but I love this version of this song.

1:26:53 A little girl with your dad, does he go leave you love? I've gotta strange his side. I haven't a little girl that he go to. Does he do to you the things that I do? Let me take you high?

1:27:27 I haven't find It's like someone cannot be at the end of the sections, ball through the middle of the sky, when the night put the ship's supping wed, and the free train running through the middle of my head. Let me take you high Lab and five Lab and the five It's like someone taking Nappy be Idi and now and got a sections ball through the middle of the sky when the night wake up, the ship's supping red and the free train running through the middle of my Let me take you High. I'm in the fire. It's like someone cooking Nappy b G and Nolan had a six cents battle through the middle of my scalp when the night wake up and the sheets sucking red and free train rooman through the middle of my head.

1:29:53 Let Me take you High. Yeah, I like the way you do that. That sounds really good. Thank you really good. Yeah, Melanie La Liberty and the chat room said love this song. Oh and we did get an answer from DJ Steve So the Morning Sun Cafe says it was on Amhurst Street in the mid seventies. It was on the top floor above the paint store and had a mural on the side of the building. Oh so he's talking about Stan's Paint Store, right. Yeah, so it was on the third floor. Oh wow, he says. A guy named John Richardson ran it.

1:30:51 Oh um, it's not one of the places we played when we when we played in Manchester is mostly the uh, the Onion, Red Onion and uh occasionally a Salty Dog as But we were you know, in seventy four when we started the trio. We played till like eighty four for ten years. Oh okay, so and then we came into Manchester pretty much just for the Onion I think. Um, so, now, how often do you play out now? Uh? Uh four or five times a month? Oh that's pretty good. Yeah, so you're you're pretty busy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's great.

1:31:27 Do you um, do you have any idea how many songs? You know? Probably hundreds, I would imagine, right, Um, no, on my list, I have about seventy oh okay, yeah, about seventy seventy tunes that you know. I mean I know a lot more than that, but yeah, stuff I can choose from, you know, playing out and then you know, some songs you just like doing and you seem to do them a little bit better, so you know, you tend to lean towards those on a given night, you know. Yeah, do you do anything obscure that maybe you know as a cover but people don't necessarily know it's like or some people don't necessarily know it's a cover When you play it.

1:32:01 Um, let me think on that for a second.

1:32:08 So I know some people, you know, like they'll they'll do something that maybe a lot of people don't know it wasn't necessary. You know, maybe it's from a mainstream artist, but wasn't necessarily a mainstream hit, and they'll play it and and and some people don't realize that it's a cover and they assume it's an original. Yeah, exactly. Um, let's see man um

1:32:39 Yeah, like, um, there's uh, is there a hermit's hermit song that I know? Oh? No kidding? Yeah, yeah, I mean if you want me to do that. Usually this requires sort of the harmonize the harmonize. So I was gonna do, uh, you know, something a little bit more modern for the uh, younger listening crowd if you don't mind, Oh absolutely, I would love it. Yeah. So this is a I think this is um the best song by Ed Shearon. Oh okay, yeah, and you know I don't I don't listen to him that often. Yeah, but um, this song just hits me.

1:33:18 So um anyway, Oh, I bet, I bet I know what it is. We'll see if I'm right. Stop the clock gets amaze. You should see the little lot dancers off your million colors of his golden red satted the morning his favor, the sun's reflected by the coffee had mies of cotton. Games over again.

Andrea paquin Is in the chat room. Oh nice, Yeah, yeah, yep. Andrea, yep, she's she's enjoying it.

1:37:34 Um, let me ask you this is this is a I think we have a request. So Ronda Ferverro, who's joining us from California, she says, oh, man, I'll bet he would cover Elvis Costello beautifully. He has that awesome quality to his voice. Do you know any Elvis Costello? Um, because you do have a yeah, you do kind of have a voice like yeah. Actually, um no, but Randa, that's a great suggestion, and I will add a couple. Yeah, that's a great suggestion. No, actually we I don't, but I like Elvis Costello a lot.

1:38:13 Oh yeah, yeah absolutely. Um. Now do you when you when you play out, do you do you work in any of your originals or do you stick to the covers or how do how do you approach that? Uh? No, I just know I I stick to the covers because um, I don't know. I you know, like you know, one of the songs has mandolin in it. So unless I I am now working with um um some some loops. Yeah, so I I bought a pedal recently and it's half of its loop and half of its drums. So I added some drums to certain songs. And then um, I looped uh um yellow by h Cole play so I can play my mandolin to that.

1:38:59 So again I changed it around to a little blue grassie. Yeah, yeah, so um. As a matter of fact, let's see here, I jumped to cost I spam cost you want? Would you like me to do that? Yeah? If you want, Yeah, I'd love to hear it. Yeah. Let's see if I can remember the words. I can't. I can't remember the first line. Man, you gotta get a you gotta get a telepropter like Aussie. Um.

Six ZO three two five O six Z seven is a studio line six zo three two five zero six Z seven. What's the um? What's the hardest song to play? Is there a particular song that you do that you that you just found really challenging, particularly challenging to learn? Um?

1:44:01 Oh uh, well, one of the songs by I do the song by Chris Isaac what's his what's his hit thing? Yeah, and that that's really tough to sing. And we're working on a song as a duo right now. Actually, we had rehearsal today for tomorrow and we're working on a Steven Still song that he did in Buffalo Springfield called Bluebird, and uh, you know, I'm trying to learn the lead of that song vervatim and it's crazy. It's Stills with just a great guitar player, so you know. So, you know, some songs are vocally hard to sing, and then other songs are hard to you know, play on the guitar or an instrument, you know kind of thing.

1:44:39 So um, yeah, I mean I usually steer away from songs that I know I just you know, can't do vocally, you know. Um, but fortunately, I'm, um, I'm really kind of able to do all the songs that I really love and used to listen to.
