11:37 Jenny John Good morning sunshine. Yes, Jenny is here at the news table.

11:43 I am present and accounted for. Yes, Yes, and we have

11:48 joining us a wonderful guest who has been with us before. Eric is here,

11:54 but he is known professionally as a Temple Mountain. Good morning. Oh,

11:58 I can't hear you. Let me figure out why. Let's see.

12:03 Well that mic is quiet, go ahead and talk try again. You are

12:07 I found you? I no, no, You're good. I just had

12:09 to look. I knew I could find you. I just had to look

12:13 right here. There we go, There we go. Welcome back. Yeah,

12:20 what's that you're trying to get within people again. Oh yes, yes,

12:22 Eric, our friend Eric Street, who I did a hypnotherapy session with,

12:26 he called into the Morning Show and talked about how he felt I was

12:30 within him, which uh, which Peter and everybody had a lot of fun

12:37 with. Wait, did you like therapeutize him or hypnos hypnotized him on the

12:41 show? No? Okay, no, but no, he's a he's a

12:46 listener, longtime fan of all the shows here at w M and H.

12:50 And but he contacted me for a hypnotherapy session, and you know, normally

12:54 that would all be confidential, but he speaks about it openly. He calls

12:58 into the Morning show, talks about it openly, and so he's happy to

13:01 share the experience, which was very positive for him, helping him with his

13:05 uh yet a bit of a white coat syndrome, you know. So I

13:09 was able to help him with that. But the way he described it to

13:11 Peter, it was he said he when he went to the uh, when

13:13 he went to the doctor for his appointment, he felt confident and he felt

13:16 like I was within him, is how he put it. So, so

13:20 that was a by the ends of today's session, I'll feel that Oh,

13:26 my well, my goodness, No, it's not that kind of show.

13:31 That's not how I meant that. That's for that's for Matt Connor to un

13:35 Sheath, which is a different show, not associated with Matt Connor, not

13:39 associated with w M n H. I should say, that's funny. It's

13:43 only available on the Dark Web, and I'm legally prohibited from telling you how

13:46 to find it, and it's beyond the paywall. So as our friend DJ

13:50 Midas once said, if you if you can't find it, you can't afford

13:52 it. Oh my god. So there you go. That's been a while

13:56 since we've done that joke, one of our one of our running gags.

14:01 By the way, I do want to say hello everybody in the Facebook live

14:03 chat quickly, and then Eric is going to play for us. Really looking

14:05 forward to this. Our friend Bruce from Legion of Solas, who also they

14:09 do a lot in the music scene as far as promoting bands and solo artists

14:13 and everything. They do a great job. Bruce has been on the show,

14:16 really enjoyed talking with him. Chris Porrier also known as Chris By,

14:20 a very funny comedian who's been on the show. He is with us as

14:24 well, in the chat room, Carol z the Warwitz says, good morning,

14:26 Jenny. You're in there. Of course, speaking of very talented musicians,

14:31 our friend Dylan Reynolds is in the chat room. We had Dylan on

14:35 the show not long ago. Oh no, I'm sorry. We did the

14:37 world radio premiere of his new single. But I think but he is booked

14:41 for an upcoming but he's going to be on with us soon. Yes,

14:46 absolutely, so we look forward to. You know, I don't know what

14:50 it is. I feel like I hear him more often his music more often

14:52 than perhaps we actually do. I do too. That was very inside but

14:58 if you know, you know, we love Dylan very the following very talented,

15:03 very talented gentlemen. Uh so, uh, Eric is going to play

15:05 for us. Now, what what's been going on with you though? First?

15:09 What's been happening with Temple Mountain now? Since we last spoke, It's

15:13 been kind of crazy, just a lot of shows I have about I think

15:18 I have five gigs books this month, and then the summer is just getting

15:20 more and more chaotic. And I think I started grad school. I don't

15:24 remember if I was in grad school at that point, when I still when

15:26 I came here last time. I think I think maybe you were about just

15:30 about to start. Yeah, so that's new. Congratulations, thank you.

15:33 It's been a it's been a great journey. The commutes kind of, but

15:37 like the journey itself is great. Where are you Goinglymouth State? Okay?

15:41 Yeah? And you live in Manchester? No, I live in Peterborough.

15:43 Peterborough. Wow? What's that? The drive about ninety minutes? Jesu?

15:48 Wow? Yeah? But the knowledge, oh yeah, no, it'll all

15:52 be worth it absolutely. Now why not tell where? Why? I mean?

15:56 Why not internet of course instead of in person? What is it about

16:00 the in person the way my ADHD works? It's just I'm I'm I learned

16:06 more, not necessarily from reading or writing. I learned from like interacting and

16:10 almost being wrong and being told like a new perspective, so that I really

16:15 like in person learning for me personally. Yeah that with art it's totally different,

16:21 Like I like to learn on my own with artistic things, but maybe

16:25 more I don't know. I don't want to say vocational based stuff, but

16:27 I seem to this type of stuff seems to really help me. Yeah,

16:30 yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense. And you've been so you've

16:33 been playing a lot of shows, a lot of shows, yeah, and

16:37 getting to know the scene a lot better since we've last time we talked.

16:41 I've gotten to know a lot of artists and I just I'm completely obsessed and

16:45 falling in love with this place. Fantastic. That's good. Yeah, yeah,

16:48 because you're not here, you're not from here originally New York. That

16:52 I did the New York scene originally, and uh, I'm happy to be

16:55 doing the New Hampshire good good while we're glad you're here. And uh yeah

17:00 you want to play something for some down to hear you? Yeah? Could

17:02 I play a new song? Actually? Oh please? Yes, so full

17:03 disclosure. Last night I had a dream that I played the song and I

17:07 just kept messing up in my dream and I just remember you guys going like,

17:12 never, we've never done that. Oh it's it's my own intrusive thoughts.

17:17 Yes, yes, so uh well yeah, yeah, go ahead and

17:21 strum a little bit. I'm gonna pull that other another mic up there,

17:25 so we oh there it is, there we go all right. Yeah,

17:30 I think this song is gonna be called change your mind. So okay,

17:34 well you can always change your mind about see what I did there? Yes,

17:48 how loneliness can change your hard and distance change your mind. But you

17:56 know the way I treat you like cherish scripts and wine, and it bothers

18:04 me that you can't see that I'm the one who tries. I can't spend

18:11 my years trying to change your mind. I may not look so perfect,

18:30 I may not believe in science, but when I look between the photos,

18:37 I can see the way you smile, and I can't believe you're telling me

18:45 that he is the one you like. I can't spend my ears trying to

18:52 change your minds. I don't mind this urgent say in the way you can't

19:14 hold go that's deep in your eyes. So go on with a coward suppressed

19:49 feelings all you like, for you'll never have somebody that I can save you,

19:57 quite like I both the moon and you told me all those moments left

20:04 in time. I can't spend nice trying to change that's pretty, very nice,

20:30 very nice. Yes, thank you? If you're just joining us temple

20:34 mountainous here, Eric, how do you okay? Eric? I can never

20:40 say your last name. I can't either in polomony, in polmony. Yeah,

20:44 that's a lot of just one more year of it explain that I'm when

20:49 I get married, I'm taking my fiance's last name. So yeah, that's

20:52 right. I remember we I remember we talked about that last time. Yeah.

20:56 Wait, it'll be a fewer syllables. I sup. Yeah, Eric

21:00 Hannings. Oh there you go. Yeah, that's easy. It's still Temple

21:03 Mountain. But Eric Hannings, I am curious, And if you don't want

21:07 to, I don't want to answer this, understand, But like, is

21:10 anybody in your family said, uh, express any objection to that? No?

21:15 Not really, that's good, not that I know of at least.

21:18 But I also don't have and I'm okay saying this. I don't want this

21:21 to sound sad or anything like that. I don't have like the closest relationship

21:23 really with my family compared to maybe other families. If anything, I have

21:27 a very close relationship with my fiance's family. Okay, well, so it

21:32 makes it feel yeah, and you know, it keeps that last name going.

21:34 Where there's plenty of impolimenes in Sicily, there's only we don't know,

21:38 many Hannings left, So this is going to keep the name going. Okay,

21:41 No, that makes sense? Like that, what kind of a name

21:44 is is that Irish? Irish? Yeah, that was actually just in Ireland,

21:47 so a lot. I visited her family in Ireland. We got our

21:51 wedding bands there. Oh wow. I just got back like on Tuesday.

21:53 Oh wow. So yeah, it was an incredible experience. How long did

21:56 you go for? Five days? Oh? Okay? Yeah, Belfast and

22:00 Dublin. Wow, I've never been. It must be beautiful. I'm also

22:04 Irish. But it's the most I want. I want to make sure I

22:08 phrase this properly. It's the most like it reminds me the most of New

22:11 England that I've ever been to. Yeah, it's very similar to here.

22:15 Yeah. Just the accent. Yeah. And the chips. There's a lot

22:18 of chips there. Yeah, potato chips. Oh okay, I was gonna

22:22 say, what kind of chips is there? Gambling? I think'es? Yeah

22:27 yeah yeah, oh right, fish and chips, yes, yes, yes.

22:32 Uh. Melanie Liberty from the Great State of Vermont is in the chat

22:34 and uh, she says, has he ever considered growing out his beard so

22:38 it becomes more sturdy? Did we discuss discussed it last time? Yeah?

22:45 I actually I am in the process of growing it out. I don't know

22:47 what a sturdy beard means like I can like I can stand on it.

22:51 Or I think sturdy is if you can successfully drive your car with it.

22:56 Like if you can steer with your beer, that's a sturdy beer. If

23:00 it was able to balance the cup, well that too. I mean,

23:03 really, any of these things. If do you have a cup right here

23:06 you let's see where I'm at. You need a sturdy beard, though,

23:11 to to really do any any of these do you put product in my beard?

23:14 Oh? Well, there you go, there you go. I guess

23:15 it's not sturdy enough, though, I'll think about that one on my own

23:19 time, very particular. Melanie agrees standing on it would definitely be sturdy.

23:26 Let's see, I saw somebody else. Oh, justin Michaels is in the

23:30 chat room. Good morning. Let's see. Isaac Banks says, awesome song,

23:34 eric As Temple Mountain. Thank you. Let's see, oh, Isaac

23:40 says, eric A Ka Temple. Who do you? Who do you influence

23:47 of a recording artist? I think I know what he said there. Yes,

23:52 I think the big ones are like Elliott Smith is a huge inspiration for

23:56 me. John Mayer is a big inspiration for me. Dave Matthews is a

23:59 big inspiration for me. I've come to accept my love for Ed Sheeran,

24:04 so that's a big one for me at the moment. I was in denial

24:07 of that for a long time. I don't know why, but now I

24:11 really like it, and I don't know. I love Steely Dan. I

24:15 love a lot of music. I love classical music. I love jazz,

24:18 a lot of jazz actually, but yeah, those are the big ones.

24:21 The vocals on your studio work kind of remind me a little bit of there's

24:25 a little bit of Crosby, Stills and Nash in there. Wow, I'm

24:27 gonna process that one my own time. That's very kind of you, thank

24:30 you. Yeah, and a little Simon and Garfunkle too. I love Paul

24:33 Simon the way the way you lower the vogue, not lower the way you

24:37 sorry it's early for me. The way you layer the votal. Yeah,

24:40 yeah, Now I love Paul. I've been actually really heavy on Simon and

24:44 Garfunkle lately, specifically their second album, Parsley Stage Rosemary in Time. It's

24:48 like mind blowing how good the guitar work on that album. Like people talk

24:52 about their vocals, but Paul Simon's an incredible guitar player. Absolutely, yeah,

24:56 he sure is absolutely. Uh do you want to play another one?

24:59 For I'm sure dying to hear another one. We we never talked about how

25:03 many of your how many you want to play this morning? But no,

25:07 whatever you want me if you want to do a bunch, we'd love to

25:08 hear a bunch. Very good. If you're just joining us. We have

25:11 Eric as a Temple Mountain soon to be Eric Hannings. But you'll you'll still

25:18 be Temple mountain ized. I'll be yeah, either that or Temple Handings.

25:19 I haven't gone, just I haven't changed. I thought, no, that's

25:22 that's just a joke. Okay, I was gonna say interesting, interesting,

25:26 But Eric is here with us, live in studio, Temple Mountain and yeah,

25:30 whenever you're ready. Sure. This is called interpersonal relationships. Let's see.

25:45 It seems that phone that met you, it's phone down that grain.

25:51 It's all the ways you make me feel cry fool to take my hands and

25:56 help me understands as we say, still the world is passed by. I

26:03 recognize the mistrust, I experience the pain. I've seen the way that men

26:08 content to life. So while I work hard each day and think of how

26:15 to say I'm here in love, not here to change my for you knowing

26:22 nore so focused on the way you're making sounds for you know, it's tough

26:30 for you to go, But I'll think about the next time you're around,

26:37 for I made you a promise, promise I can't bring. For I think

26:41 I found a way in a companies more. History will show the where you

26:48 helped me grow make up praying friendship, you and I before you know where

27:11 No was so focused on the way of making sound before you know. It's

27:19 time for you to go. But I'll think about the next time you're around

27:26 because I made you a promise promise I can't break. But I think I

27:30 found way to compromise for history will show where you help me grow make up

27:40 pretty friendship. You and I make up pretty friendship. You and I very

28:02 nice? What's that one called relationships? Ah? Yes, yes like that.

28:06 I like that one very much, very much. Yeah, if you're

28:07 just joining us, we have a temple mountain here with us alive in studio.

28:12 And now do you have you mentioned earlier because the one that you opened

28:17 with was was brand new? Are you going to be recording that soon?

28:19 What are your recording plans. So I actually have Oh I'm really excited about

28:25 this. So I have a few ideas I have about I want to record

28:29 three albums within this time until next year. So one is a collaborative album

28:34 I want to do with my friend Jay Marie. I want to like have

28:38 like a songs with j kind of album. That song you heard earlier is

28:42 a song that is going to be on just a solo album I want to

28:45 write that's very similar to my first album, and I think it's gonna be

28:49 called Case Studies, and it's just about all these people I've met New Hampshire

28:52 and wrote songs about. And then I would like to make a live album,

28:57 so I want to do something like that, and I have people in

29:02 actually Vermont who I think could help me with that, so I'm in the

29:04 talks of that. But yeah, I just want to have like a lot

29:07 of quantity on Spotify, almost more than I know about the waterfall effect and

29:11 the algorithm and stuff like that, but I don't know. I'd just rather

29:15 have as much of my work out there as humanly possible. Yeah yeah,

29:18 yeah, well what is the waterfall effect? I don't know that term.

29:22 It's like so you'll see it. Now, people release like a single and

29:26 then they wait three months and then they'll release another single and they stack them

29:29 to okay, and they release the other single, and that's how they release

29:32 albums. So they do one song at a time, so it builds up

29:33 on Spotify and it gets curated. And if that's what you care about,

29:38 like, yeah, that's great, you know, it's amazing. That comes

29:41 up a lot on the show. I hadn't heard that term waterfall effect.

29:44 That makes sense, but yeah, we talk about that a lot on the

29:45 show. How you know, a lot actually a lot of the artists that

29:48 we interview here, that's what they do now instead of releasing you know,

29:52 like when I was growing up, it was, you know, an artist

29:53 would release a single, yea, the single would come out ahead of the

29:57 album, you know, maybe five six weeks. It would go to radio

30:00 and MTV and everything, and then the album would come out and then eventually

30:03 a second single. But now, yeah, a lot of artists are doing

30:07 exactly what you just described, which the waterfall effect. Yeah, but what's

30:10 cool about the single what you were describing it was also it was like in

30:14 a smaller ep, right, Yeah, like what they called seven inch.

30:18 Yeah, well there's yeah, there were EPs, although usually see I don't

30:23 remember a lot of EPs when I was growing up. There would be a

30:26 few, but usually it was Yeah, it would be the single would come

30:30 out ahead of a full album and then you know, and like I said

30:33 in the video, would go to MTV and all that and try to set

30:36 up, you know, because the idea was, you know, you want

30:37 to set it up so the album debuts as high as possible, yeah,

30:41 on Billboard. And of course now it's all changed sort of. I mean,

30:45 you know, the idea of charting and everything, that's still a thing,

30:48 but now we're in this weird position where like classic rock bands are charting

30:52 with with singles from decades ago, because if something ends up in a commercial

30:57 or something, all of a sudden, it's charting. It's really weird the

31:00 way things. It's almost like like that music a lot. Yeah, but

31:06 yeah, it's uh, there's so many different ways you can do it now.

34:58 bridgeup a little bit. So I apologie, Well, we didn't know now,

35:04 Yeah, I'm okay, excellent. Temple Mountain is live in studio with

35:08 us. By the way, there is a Stacey Hannings in the Facebook live

35:13 chat. I think that's someone you might know. No, I never heard

35:15 of her. Oh okay, no, yeah, that's my fance. Yeah,

35:17 she said, sound great as like always. Oh she's cool. She

35:24 just got actually, speaking of Ireland, she just got a great tattoo on

35:28 her arm. She her grandma used to the way she knows her family in

35:31 Ireland is her Grandma used to penpal her Irish. I guess I think it's

35:37 her sister and that's how the family stay connected. So she took one of

35:40 those letters and tattooed on her. Oh yeah, wow, super beautiful.

35:45 Yeah, it's a great tattoo. How long did that take? That must

35:47 have taken a while to tattoo. It was only a line from it,

35:51 so yeah, it was literally just like twenty minutes. I got tattooed in

35:54 Ireland too, and that was that was painful? Really? Yeah, how

35:58 did you get a clipper ship? Okay, yeah, so I got on

36:00 my leg. I'll show you a photo after. Uh yeah, how long

36:04 did that take? Three hours? Oh wow? Yeah, which isn't that

36:07 bad for tattoos, but it was. It's a painful spot. When I

36:12 religined in Colored Mine, it was a five hour set. Yeah I've had

36:15 that. Yeah, I've never had any. I don't have any tattoos,

36:21 so I don't know. So to me, like, you know, five

36:23 minutes of that sounds like a lot. I want to I like it.

36:28 But yeah, yes, yes, I've never even I'm kind of an anomaly

36:35 because I'm a musician, but I've never not only do I not have any

36:37 tattoos. I've never had any piercings. I've never even had an earring nothing.

36:42 I just don't want to punch holes in my flesh. I think that's

36:45 I think that literally is what it is. I just never because people always

36:47 ask me, haven't you wanted to It's like, no, I don't.

36:52 I have my ears pierced for a little bit. But yeah, now it

36:54 has like a bubble in my ear that will have for the rest of my

36:57 life. So I don't know how I feel about. Oh yeah, see

36:58 that's the thing. I don't want bubbles in my ears. What I don't

37:02 have bubble? Well, yeah, but it can happen apparently money get four.

37:07 Oh oh all right, well upper lobe now still down here? Yeah,

37:12 no, I'm staying in the soft issue. Yes, no desire to

37:15 punch the cartilage. Yeah, that hurts. Okay, I believe it.

37:22 I know we uh we talked about it last time. But for new listeners,

37:24 where does the name Temple Mountain come from? It comes from the town

37:29 to Temple or where I live in Peterborough. There's a mountain called Temple Mountain.

37:32 And it just felt right like I don't It was very extemporaneous. It

37:37 wasn't something that I really put a lot of thought into, but it always

37:39 felt like, oh, that's gonna be my name. Yeah, and yeah,

37:43 I don't know. It's funny because yeah, everyone comments on it and

37:49 everyone asks about it, and in facts. Whenever I'm at an open mic

37:52 with my fiance, she's just like, you have to explain it better because

37:54 you're you're just yeah, so I don't really have a good exp a nation,

38:00 I guess, but yeah, it just feels right. It's like a

38:02 it's an intuitive kind of thing. And uh yeah, I don't really want

38:06 to go by Eric so right right do uh? Do people ever get confused

38:09 and think you're in a band called Temple? Oh yeah yeah, and not

38:14 many people call me Temple, which is that person? Earlier it was like

38:17 Temple aka R right. I like that. Yeah, yeah, maybe I

38:22 should change it. Temple is Ana. Have you have you released music online

38:30 prior to the name Temple Mountain? Yes, it's not on there anymore.

38:35 I used to go by Eric Phillip in New York because that's my middle name.

38:37 Oh right, right, I remember you saying that. Yeah, Yeah,

38:39 it wasn't I'm it's not that I wasn't proud of the music, but

38:44 I'm not proud the way it was produced. Okay, yeah it was,

38:46 it just didn't work. Well. What's your approach to production? Now?

38:52 Where do you record? I recorded my room, so yeah, I do

38:55 like a low fi kind of thing, but I don't know. The stuff

38:59 I hear in my head is more double layered vocals and like lo fi audio

39:05 hits and like those types of sounds. But I am interested in a doing

39:08 higher like produced stuff. There's a there's a couple of people I know,

39:14 my friend Josh Blair, he actually does his own recordings for his band Modern

39:16 Fools, and I really like the production on that, so I would love

39:20 to do that. Yeah, and I would like to eventually EXPERI them with

39:22 a band too, So yeah, yeah, yeah, we should mention too.

39:28 So we did play one of your studio tracks open the show, Diagnosis,

39:32 and we also played something else we should talk about. Yeah. My

39:36 friend Jay Marie, her song Trust the Process fantastic. I really like her

39:40 songwriting. I think she's a very gifted musician, and you know, honestly,

39:45 she's very new to the whole like music scene and getting herself involved in

39:51 it. And I think she's gonna do really really well personally. Yeah,

39:54 beautiful voice and I really like the song. How did you meet her?

39:59 I think we met like on Instagram, like, which is how I've met

40:02 you know, when you hashtag New England or hashtag New Hampshire. I've met

40:06 so many musicians that way. Yeah, and just start having a conversation and

40:10 you find out that you philosophically look at music in the same approach and you

40:15 develop a connection and uh yeah, she just released that song not too long

40:19 ago, and I was like, you know, you should like promote this

40:22 song where it's a really good song. Yeah, and yeah, so if

40:25 anything I could do to help, you know. So she's from here,

40:29 she's from New Marlow, Yeah, Marloon, Ne Hampshire. I don't know

40:30 if she wants anyone Marlon Hampshire. Yeah that's or or is it? I

40:37 don't I guess I'm realized probably like a good hour Oh okay, Yeah,

40:40 New Hampshire is weird. It's a small state, but it's also like it

40:44 takes a while to get to places. Yeah that's true. Yeah. Yeah,

40:47 Peterborough's nice because you're kind of no more than two hours from any of

40:52 the major places of New England. So if you want to go to Portland,

40:54 you're about two hours. If you want to go to Boston, you're

40:57 about two hours. But yeah, yeah, that's not bad. That's not

41:00 Burlington's three hours. When you when you moved to Peterborough, originally, what

41:04 what brought you there? Because you did you move from from New York straight

41:07 to Peterborough. No. I lived in Keene for a year. Okay,

41:10 So I moved out to Keen when I left New York because I had an

41:13 opportunity to live for very cheap rent and I could just kind of reset my

41:17 life, which I needed at the time. Yeah, and I was planning

41:22 to move. So about one month before I moved to Austin, Texas.

41:24 I lived in Austin, Texas for six months. Oh wow. Yeah,

41:27 I met Stacey and I still moved. We kept a long distance relationship.

41:31 And then when I moved back, I didn't have a place to go,

41:34 and she's like, well, you're gonna have to find a place to go.

41:36 I was like, yeah, sure, so it's okay if I just

41:37 stay at your place while I look for a place. She's like yeah,

41:39 sure. And I've been living there ever since. Very good, very good.

41:46 I love Peterborough though, Yeah, have you been there? I've driven

41:50 through it. It's incredible. I would say Peterborough it's the kind of place

41:53 you can drive through. No, I'm kidding. I've never said that in

41:58 my life. But because it's going for a lot instruction right now, so

42:00 now you can't drive through. No, but I feel like because you have

42:02 to go through it to get to Keene right correct. Okay, yeah,

42:05 so I've definitely driven through it, but I don't think i've I've spent any

42:07 time beautiful town. Are there any music venues there? There used to be

42:10 Harlow's. Oh, Harlow's. Yeah, Okaylos isn't doing anything right now?

42:15 Oh okay, gotcha. Peterborough needs a venue? Yeah, no doubt,

42:19 no doubt. Well you want to, uh, you want to play another

42:22 one? Sure? I want to make sure we get at least one more.

42:24 And if you're just joining us, a temple Mountain is here with us

42:27 alive in studio, playing some songs for us. Pull those Mike's back up.

42:31 There, there we go. This is called individuation. Should be just

42:39 playing like, should be playing covers or I don't even know how to just

42:43 how this stuff works. No, this is this is we love it.

42:45 I mean you can, you can, you can play a cover if you

42:47 want to. But we love your originals. Okay, yeah sounds good.

42:51 Yeah before but I've seen your eyes and the leggings that you wore turned me

43:07 on that night. I felt so insecure. My body is just not right,

43:19 So now I need more. Your beauty always shines. I fell refuse

43:46 sky to reach shutnther shure with mountain tops so high with you for earth?

44:02 Would it all be different? Six years ago? And as I grew water

44:13 to the season scammarcle oh I waits oh? I wonder as I fallen to

44:23 a hole with another rench shorter and new foot to grow? I bet you

44:35 once before, a long long time ago, as age less age are a

44:46 lot has yet been shown, And how it all feels different without you by

44:57 my side and all else exchanging with you're far away heady would it all the

45:08 difference? Six years ago? Assack and Walter do the season scab marc oh

45:23 I wait oh ourder as I fall into a hole with another edge shorter,

45:35 A new foots grow another its shorter new foot grow another. In short,

45:51 the new foot grow very nice. That's called individuation. Individuation and define that

46:02 if you would for our listeners. Oh, I feel like dja vu.

46:07 Yeah. We probably talked about that last time, which is kind of like

46:09 the acceptance and becoming of yourself. OK. That's totally not what the definition

46:15 is, but that's my definition. Sure, sure, yeah we should mention

46:20 uh again for people who didn't hear us last time when we had you on

46:22 Schema your album which you can get it on band camp and Spotify and everything

46:28 everywhere you're everywhere you find your music. All of these song titles, they're

46:32 all terms of well, you're I go to school for clinical mental health counseling,

46:38 but you got my bachelor's degree in just psychology, okay, and you

46:42 can't do much of a psychology bachelor's degree. So I wanted to like kind

46:46 of put purpose to it. Yeah. I wrote an album based on it.

46:51 Yeah. Yeah, So these are all clinical terms, if you will.

46:53 Yeah, and uh, I love songs of clinical terms. Was that

46:58 challenging or did that come to you pulling that off? Because in what sense

47:02 like the titles of it or like, yeah, and in terms of just

47:06 making sure and obviously the titles have to fit the songs, yeah, in

47:09 some way. So to put all of that together, it's a full album

47:14 ten songs. I mean, was that a challenge? I think at the

47:16 moment it would have been like if I did it today, because I'm in

47:20 a different process and different stage of my career. But by my senior year

47:23 of college, those were so embedded in my schema. If you will that

47:30 that makes sense, Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, absolutely. Do

47:35 you intend to continue that theme in the future with maybe the next album I

47:38 think is gonna be called case Studies, which you could say is psychology based.

47:44 But I don't think I'm going to title them with psychological terms anymore.

47:45 I think I'm gonna give them. I think the titles are gonna fit more

47:50 with the lyrics stay okay, yeah, okay, Melanie and the chat says

47:53 a song with a clinical psychology terms. How intriguing is that the person that

47:59 says my beard is yeah, sturdy, sturdy? Well actually, uh,

48:04 I think she was expressing a concern that it's not sturdy enough. Yes,

48:08 you want to Uh, it's too late. I don't mind. You want

48:14 to grow it up? I have curly beard hair. So how would how

48:15 would Stacy feel about that. If you if you had a sturdier a bigger,

48:19 sturdier beard. I don't know, Stacy, how would you feel I

48:22 have? I think she would like it. She likes the beard good.

48:24 Yeah, she had the beard. That's that's that's good. Uh. J

48:29 Fed is also in the Facebook live chat who is Melanie's husband, and he

48:34 also is always very concerned with beards. And Andy seems to like your music

48:37 too. Oh uh. Stacy says, your body your choice. That's such

48:43 a Stacy line. I love that. There you go. Yeah, well,

48:45 your beard is a part of your body. I mean, there's just

48:47 no getting around it. Love you, Stacy. By the way, when

48:53 Justin Michaels made a comment to about how a lot of places need more venues,

48:59 you know, we were talking about how Peterborough Harlow's and they're not doing

49:01 anything. Do you have any favorite venues to play or there are certain places

49:06 that you really like particularly going to I do. Well. What I will

49:09 say is people like do you know New Hampshire Music Collective, and like,

49:42 people who go there they listen. Anonymous coffee house in Lebanon, they're really

49:47 great, They're very intimate. The New Yorker just came out in you I

49:53 was so cute. That's really funny. Oh you know when I was on

50:00 the Real New Yorker, I was trying to sound like an Irishman the whole

50:05 time in Ireland. Yeah, and I could not get it down. On

50:07 the last day, I feel like I finally got it. But now I

50:09 sound like a beatles Man. But let's see, the loading dock in Littleton's

50:15 really great. I haven't played anywhere in Manchester yet, but I want to

50:19 play at a Strange Brew. Yeah yeah, that's big on my list and
