Jenny John Good morning sunshine. Yes, Jenny is here at the news table. I am present and accounted for. Yes, Yes, and we have joining us a wonderful guest who has been with us before. Eric is here, but he is known professionally as a Temple Mountain. Good morning. Oh, I can't hear you. Let me figure out why. Let's see. Well that mic is quiet, go ahead and talk try again. You are I found you? I no, no, You're good. I just had to look. I knew I could find you. I just had to look right here. There we go, There we go.
Welcome back. Yeah, what's that you're trying to get within people again. Oh yes, yes, Eric, our friend Eric Street, who I did a hypnotherapy session with, he called into the Morning Show and talked about how he felt I was within him, which uh, which Peter and everybody had a lot of fun with. Wait, did you like therapeutize him or hypnos hypnotized him on the show? No? Okay, no, but no, he's a he's a listener, longtime fan of all the shows here at w M and H. And but he contacted me for a hypnotherapy session, and you know, normally that would all be confidential, but he speaks about it openly.
He calls into the Morning show, talks about it openly, and so he's happy to share the experience, which was very positive for him, helping him with his uh yet a bit of a white coat syndrome, you know. So I was able to help him with that. But the way he described it to Peter, it was he said he when he went to the uh, when he went to the doctor for his appointment, he felt confident and he felt like I was within him, is how he put it. So, so that was a by the ends of today's session, I'll feel that Oh, my well, my goodness, No, it's not that kind of show.
That's not how I meant that. That's for that's for Matt Connor to un Sheath, which is a different show, not associated with Matt Connor, not associated with w M n H. I should say, that's funny. It's only available on the Dark Web, and I'm legally prohibited from telling you how to find it, and it's beyond the paywall. So as our friend DJ Midas once said, if you if you can't find it, you can't afford it. Oh my god. So there you go. That's been a while since we've done that joke, one of our one of our running gags.
By the way, I do want to say hello everybody in the Facebook live chat quickly, and then Eric is going to play for us. Really looking forward to this. Our friend Bruce from Legion of Solas, who also they do a lot in the music scene as far as promoting bands and solo artists and everything. They do a great job. Bruce has been on the show, really enjoyed talking with him. Chris Porrier also known as Chris By, a very funny comedian who's been on the show. He is with us as well, in the chat room, Carol z the Warwitz says, good morning, Jenny.
You're in there. Of course, speaking of very talented musicians, our friend Dylan Reynolds is in the chat room. We had Dylan on the show not long ago. Oh no, I'm sorry. We did the world radio premiere of his new single. But I think but he is booked for an upcoming but he's going to be on with us soon. Yes, absolutely, so we look forward to. You know, I don't know what it is. I feel like I hear him more often his music more often than perhaps we actually do. I do too. That was very inside but if you know, you know, we love Dylan very the following very talented, very talented gentlemen.
Uh so, uh, Eric is going to play for us. Now, what what's been going on with you though? First? What's been happening with Temple Mountain now? Since we last spoke, It's been kind of crazy, just a lot of shows I have about I think I have five gigs books this month, and then the summer is just getting more and more chaotic. And I think I started grad school. I don't remember if I was in grad school at that point, when I still when I came here last time. I think I think maybe you were about just about to start.
Yeah, so that's new. Congratulations, thank you. It's been a it's been a great journey. The commutes kind of, but like the journey itself is great. Where are you Goinglymouth State? Okay? Yeah? And you live in Manchester? No, I live in Peterborough. Peterborough. Wow? What's that? The drive about ninety minutes? Jesu? Wow? Yeah? But the knowledge, oh yeah, no, it'll all be worth it absolutely. Now why not tell where? Why? I mean? Why not internet of course instead of in person? What is it about the in person the way my ADHD works?
It's just I'm I'm I learned more, not necessarily from reading or writing. I learned from like interacting and almost being wrong and being told like a new perspective, so that I really like in person learning for me personally. Yeah that with art it's totally different, Like I like to learn on my own with artistic things, but maybe more I don't know. I don't want to say vocational based stuff, but I seem to this type of stuff seems to really help me. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense.
And you've been so you've been playing a lot of shows, a lot of shows, yeah, and getting to know the scene a lot better since we've last time we talked. I've gotten to know a lot of artists and I just I'm completely obsessed and falling in love with this place. Fantastic. That's good. Yeah, yeah, because you're not here, you're not from here originally New York. That I did the New York scene originally, and uh, I'm happy to be doing the New Hampshire good good while we're glad you're here. And uh yeah you want to play something for some down to hear you?
Yeah? Could I play a new song? Actually? Oh please? Yes, so full disclosure. Last night I had a dream that I played the song and I just kept messing up in my dream and I just remember you guys going like, never, we've never done that. Oh it's it's my own intrusive thoughts. Yes, yes, so uh well yeah, yeah, go ahead and strum a little bit. I'm gonna pull that other another mic up there, so we oh there it is, there we go all right. Yeah, I think this song is gonna be called change your mind. So okay, well you can always change your mind about see what I did there?
Yes,
how loneliness can change your hard and distance change your mind. But you know the way I treat you like cherish scripts and wine, and it bothers me that you can't see that I'm the one who tries. I can't spend my years trying to change your mind. I may not look so perfect, I may not believe in science, but when I look between the photos, I can see the way you smile, and I can't believe you're telling me that he is the one you like. I can't spend my ears trying to change your minds. I don't mind this urgent say in the way you can't hold go that's deep in your eyes.
So go on with a coward suppressed feelings all you like, for you'll never have somebody that I can save you, quite like I both the moon and you told me all those moments left in time. I can't spend nice trying to change that's pretty, very nice, very nice. Yes, thank you? If you're just joining us temple mountainous here, Eric, how do you okay? Eric? I can never say your last name. I can't either in polomony, in polmony. Yeah, that's a lot of just one more year of it explain that I'm when I get married, I'm taking my fiance's last name.
So yeah, that's right. I remember we I remember we talked about that last time. Yeah. Wait, it'll be a fewer syllables. I sup. Yeah, Eric Hannings. Oh there you go. Yeah, that's easy. It's still Temple Mountain. But Eric Hannings, I am curious, And if you don't want to, I don't want to answer this, understand, But like, is anybody in your family said, uh, express any objection to that? No? Not really, that's good, not that I know of at least. But I also don't have and I'm okay saying this. I don't want this to sound sad or anything like that.
I don't have like the closest relationship really with my family compared to maybe other families. If anything, I have a very close relationship with my fiance's family. Okay, well, so it makes it feel yeah, and you know, it keeps that last name going. Where there's plenty of impolimenes in Sicily, there's only we don't know, many Hannings left, So this is going to keep the name going. Okay, No, that makes sense? Like that, what kind of a name is is that Irish? Irish? Yeah, that was actually just in Ireland, so a lot.
I visited her family in Ireland. We got our wedding bands there. Oh wow. I just got back like on Tuesday. Oh wow. So yeah, it was an incredible experience. How long did you go for? Five days? Oh? Okay? Yeah, Belfast and Dublin. Wow, I've never been. It must be beautiful. I'm also Irish. But it's the most I want. I want to make sure I phrase this properly. It's the most like it reminds me the most of New England that I've ever been to. Yeah, it's very similar to here. Yeah. Just the accent. Yeah.
And the chips. There's a lot of chips there. Yeah, potato chips. Oh okay, I was gonna say, what kind of chips is there? Gambling? I think'es? Yeah yeah yeah, oh right, fish and chips, yes, yes, yes. Uh. Melanie Liberty from the Great State of Vermont is in the chat and uh, she says, has he ever considered growing out his beard so it becomes more sturdy? Did we discuss discussed it last time? Yeah? I actually I am in the process of growing it out. I don't know what a sturdy beard means like I can like I can stand on it.
Or I think sturdy is if you can successfully drive your car with it. Like if you can steer with your beer, that's a sturdy beer. If it was able to balance the cup, well that too. I mean, really, any of these things. If do you have a cup right here you let's see where I'm at. You need a sturdy beard, though, to to really do any any of these do you put product in my beard? Oh? Well, there you go, there you go. I guess it's not sturdy enough, though, I'll think about that one on my own time, very particular.
Melanie agrees standing on it would definitely be sturdy. Let's see, I saw somebody else. Oh, justin Michaels is in the chat room. Good morning. Let's see. Isaac Banks says, awesome song, eric As Temple Mountain. Thank you. Let's see, oh, Isaac says, eric A Ka Temple. Who do you? Who do you influence of a recording artist? I think I know what he said there. Yes, I think the big ones are like Elliott Smith is a huge inspiration for me. John Mayer is a big inspiration for me. Dave Matthews is a big inspiration for me.
I've come to accept my love for Ed Sheeran, so that's a big one for me at the moment. I was in denial of that for a long time. I don't know why, but now I really like it, and I don't know. I love Steely Dan. I love a lot of music. I love classical music. I love jazz, a lot of jazz actually, but yeah, those are the big ones. The vocals on your studio work kind of remind me a little bit of there's a little bit of Crosby, Stills and Nash in there. Wow, I'm gonna process that one my own time. That's very kind of you, thank you.
Yeah, and a little Simon and Garfunkle too. I love Paul Simon the way the way you lower the vogue, not lower the way you sorry it's early for me. The way you layer the votal. Yeah, yeah, Now I love Paul. I've been actually really heavy on Simon and Garfunkle lately, specifically their second album, Parsley Stage Rosemary in Time. It's like mind blowing how good the guitar work on that album. Like people talk about their vocals, but Paul Simon's an incredible guitar player. Absolutely, yeah, he sure is absolutely.
Uh do you want to play another one? For I'm sure dying to hear another one. We we never talked about how many of your how many you want to play this morning? But no, whatever you want me if you want to do a bunch, we'd love to hear a bunch. Very good. If you're just joining us. We have Eric as a Temple Mountain soon to be Eric Hannings. But you'll you'll still be Temple mountain ized. I'll be yeah, either that or Temple Handings. I haven't gone, just I haven't changed. I thought, no, that's that's just a joke.
Okay, I was gonna say interesting, interesting, But Eric is here with us, live in studio, Temple Mountain and yeah, whenever you're ready. Sure. This is called interpersonal relationships. Let's see. It seems that phone that met you, it's phone down that grain. It's all the ways you make me feel cry fool to take my hands and help me understands as we say, still the world is passed by. I recognize the mistrust, I experience the pain. I've seen the way that men content to life. So while I work hard each day and think of how to say I'm here in love, not here to change my for you knowing nore so focused on the way you're making sounds for you know, it's tough for you to go, But I'll think about the next time you're around, for I made you a promise, promise I can't bring.
For I think I found a way in a companies more. History will show the where you helped me grow make up praying friendship, you and I before you know where No was so focused on the way of making sound before you know. It's time for you to go. But I'll think about the next time you're around because I made you a promise promise I can't break. But I think I found way to compromise for history will show where you help me grow make up pretty friendship. You and I make up pretty friendship. You and I very nice?
What's that one called relationships? Ah? Yes, yes like that. I like that one very much, very much. Yeah, if you're just joining us, we have a temple mountain here with us alive in studio. And now do you have you mentioned earlier because the one that you opened with was was brand new? Are you going to be recording that soon? What are your recording plans. So I actually have Oh I'm really excited about this. So I have a few ideas I have about I want to record three albums within this time until next year.
So one is a collaborative album I want to do with my friend Jay Marie. I want to like have like a songs with j kind of album. That song you heard earlier is a song that is going to be on just a solo album I want to write that's very similar to my first album, and I think it's gonna be called Case Studies, and it's just about all these people I've met New Hampshire and wrote songs about. And then I would like to make a live album, so I want to do something like that, and I have people in actually Vermont who I think could help me with that, so I'm in the talks of that.
But yeah, I just want to have like a lot of quantity on Spotify, almost more than I know about the waterfall effect and the algorithm and stuff like that, but I don't know. I'd just rather have as much of my work out there as humanly possible. Yeah yeah, yeah, well what is the waterfall effect? I don't know that term. It's like so you'll see it. Now, people release like a single and then they wait three months and then they'll release another single and they stack them to okay, and they release the other single, and that's how they release albums.
So they do one song at a time, so it builds up on Spotify and it gets curated. And if that's what you care about, like, yeah, that's great, you know, it's amazing. That comes up a lot on the show. I hadn't heard that term waterfall effect. That makes sense, but yeah, we talk about that a lot on the show. How you know, a lot actually a lot of the artists that we interview here, that's what they do now instead of releasing you know, like when I was growing up, it was, you know, an artist would release a single, yea, the single would come out ahead of the album, you know, maybe five six weeks.
It would go to radio and MTV and everything, and then the album would come out and then eventually a second single. But now, yeah, a lot of artists are doing exactly what you just described, which the waterfall effect. Yeah, but what's cool about the single what you were describing it was also it was like in a smaller ep, right, Yeah, like what they called seven inch. Yeah, well there's yeah, there were EPs, although usually see I don't remember a lot of EPs when I was growing up. There would be a few, but usually it was Yeah, it would be the single would come out ahead of a full album and then you know, and like I said in the video, would go to MTV and all that and try to set up, you know, because the idea was, you know, you want to set it up so the album debuts as high as possible, yeah, on Billboard.
And of course now it's all changed sort of. I mean, you know, the idea of charting and everything, that's still a thing, but now we're in this weird position where like classic rock bands are charting with with singles from decades ago, because if something ends up in a commercial or something, all of a sudden, it's charting. It's really weird the way things. It's almost like like that music a lot. Yeah, but yeah, it's uh, there's so many different ways you can do it now. But I like your, uh, your idea that's pretty ambitious.
Yeah. I just wanna I don't know, I guess when you don't have like a goal in terms of the outcoming, I just want to play shows. Yeah, so like, I'm not really interested in like becoming a popular artist. Yeah I will if so, like just having as much music out there so that one day, if I have like a child, they can go like, ah, you're a cool dude. That makes me happy, right right, very good, very good? You want to play another one? Sure? All right, you're just joining us Temple Mountains here with us live in studio on Matt Connorton, unleashed up.
There we go. I gotta remember how it goes. I'm still like waking up. I apologize. Yeah, it's early. Yeah, this is a song that I called secure bass.
M H. I wouldn't believe it's true that I found someone just like you. Now I'm floating around the star with you got in my heart. One dare my eyes will turn blue, green will cover your hair, roots, red lights of stream from my far with you got in my heart. And then that's all around when I hold you, insane, the good life, a dance fetched up. We take loves not to find love is made, MH. I want to be all love you whereever you go in through world, will appear from afar with you God in my heart and the nuts all around When I hold you and saye good life a dance fetched up.
We take loves not to find. Love is made, and what traveled world will make your disires all in hands with mine, And I'll tell you I love you each night. And I'll tell you I love you each night.
H M. I wouldn't believe it's true. My eyes We'll close and be confused. The world will appear from my farm with you God in my heart
and the ns all round. Why hold you in sane? The good last at chance each step we take. Love's not define. Love is made.
Love's not define. Love is made very nice, very nice. That's that bridgeup a little bit. So I apologie, Well, we didn't know now, Yeah, I'm okay, excellent. Temple Mountain is live in studio with us. By the way, there is a Stacey Hannings in the Facebook live chat. I think that's someone you might know. No, I never heard of her. Oh okay, no, yeah, that's my fance. Yeah, she said, sound great as like always. Oh she's cool. She just got actually, speaking of Ireland, she just got a great tattoo on her arm.
She her grandma used to the way she knows her family in Ireland is her Grandma used to penpal her Irish. I guess I think it's her sister and that's how the family stay connected. So she took one of those letters and tattooed on her. Oh yeah, wow, super beautiful. Yeah, it's a great tattoo. How long did that take? That must have taken a while to tattoo. It was only a line from it, so yeah, it was literally just like twenty minutes. I got tattooed in Ireland too, and that was that was painful? Really?
Yeah, how did you get a clipper ship? Okay, yeah, so I got on my leg. I'll show you a photo after. Uh yeah, how long did that take? Three hours? Oh wow? Yeah, which isn't that bad for tattoos, but it was. It's a painful spot. When I religined in Colored Mine, it was a five hour set. Yeah I've had that. Yeah, I've never had any. I don't have any tattoos, so I don't know. So to me, like, you know, five minutes of that sounds like a lot. I want to I like it. But yeah, yes, yes, I've never even I'm kind of an anomaly because I'm a musician, but I've never not only do I not have any tattoos.
I've never had any piercings. I've never even had an earring nothing. I just don't want to punch holes in my flesh. I think that's I think that literally is what it is. I just never because people always ask me, haven't you wanted to It's like, no, I don't. I have my ears pierced for a little bit. But yeah, now it has like a bubble in my ear that will have for the rest of my life. So I don't know how I feel about. Oh yeah, see that's the thing. I don't want bubbles in my ears. What I don't have bubble?
Well, yeah, but it can happen apparently money get four. Oh oh all right, well upper lobe now still down here? Yeah, no, I'm staying in the soft issue. Yes, no desire to punch the cartilage. Yeah, that hurts. Okay, I believe it. I know we uh we talked about it last time. But for new listeners, where does the name Temple Mountain come from? It comes from the town to Temple or where I live in Peterborough. There's a mountain called Temple Mountain. And it just felt right like I don't It was very extemporaneous.
It wasn't something that I really put a lot of thought into, but it always felt like, oh, that's gonna be my name. Yeah, and yeah, I don't know. It's funny because yeah, everyone comments on it and everyone asks about it, and in facts. Whenever I'm at an open mic with my fiance, she's just like, you have to explain it better because you're you're just yeah, so I don't really have a good exp a nation, I guess, but yeah, it just feels right. It's like a it's an intuitive kind of thing. And uh yeah, I don't really want to go by Eric so right right do uh?
Do people ever get confused and think you're in a band called Temple? Oh yeah yeah, and not many people call me Temple, which is that person? Earlier it was like Temple aka R right. I like that. Yeah, yeah, maybe I should change it. Temple is Ana. Have you have you released music online prior to the name Temple Mountain? Yes, it's not on there anymore. I used to go by Eric Phillip in New York because that's my middle name. Oh right, right, I remember you saying that. Yeah, Yeah, it wasn't I'm it's not that I wasn't proud of the music, but I'm not proud the way it was produced.
Okay, yeah it was, it just didn't work. Well. What's your approach to production? Now? Where do you record? I recorded my room, so yeah, I do like a low fi kind of thing, but I don't know. The stuff I hear in my head is more double layered vocals and like lo fi audio hits and like those types of sounds. But I am interested in a doing higher like produced stuff. There's a there's a couple of people I know, my friend Josh Blair, he actually does his own recordings for his band Modern Fools, and I really like the production on that, so I would love to do that.
Yeah, and I would like to eventually EXPERI them with a band too, So yeah, yeah, yeah, we should mention too. So we did play one of your studio tracks open the show, Diagnosis, and we also played something else we should talk about. Yeah. My friend Jay Marie, her song Trust the Process fantastic. I really like her songwriting. I think she's a very gifted musician, and you know, honestly, she's very new to the whole like music scene and getting herself involved in it. And I think she's gonna do really really well personally.
Yeah, beautiful voice and I really like the song. How did you meet her? I think we met like on Instagram, like, which is how I've met you know, when you hashtag New England or hashtag New Hampshire. I've met so many musicians that way. Yeah, and just start having a conversation and you find out that you philosophically look at music in the same approach and you develop a connection and uh yeah, she just released that song not too long ago, and I was like, you know, you should like promote this song where it's a really good song.
Yeah, and yeah, so if anything I could do to help, you know. So she's from here, she's from New Marlow, Yeah, Marloon, Ne Hampshire. I don't know if she wants anyone Marlon Hampshire. Yeah that's or or is it? I don't I guess I'm realized probably like a good hour Oh okay, Yeah, New Hampshire is weird. It's a small state, but it's also like it takes a while to get to places. Yeah that's true. Yeah. Yeah, Peterborough's nice because you're kind of no more than two hours from any of the major places of New England.
So if you want to go to Portland, you're about two hours. If you want to go to Boston, you're about two hours. But yeah, yeah, that's not bad. That's not Burlington's three hours. When you when you moved to Peterborough, originally, what what brought you there? Because you did you move from from New York straight to Peterborough. No. I lived in Keene for a year. Okay, So I moved out to Keen when I left New York because I had an opportunity to live for very cheap rent and I could just kind of reset my life, which I needed at the time.
Yeah, and I was planning to move. So about one month before I moved to Austin, Texas. I lived in Austin, Texas for six months. Oh wow. Yeah, I met Stacey and I still moved. We kept a long distance relationship. And then when I moved back, I didn't have a place to go, and she's like, well, you're gonna have to find a place to go. I was like, yeah, sure, so it's okay if I just stay at your place while I look for a place. She's like yeah, sure. And I've been living there ever since. Very good, very good.
I love Peterborough though, Yeah, have you been there? I've driven through it. It's incredible. I would say Peterborough it's the kind of place you can drive through. No, I'm kidding. I've never said that in my life. But because it's going for a lot instruction right now, so now you can't drive through. No, but I feel like because you have to go through it to get to Keene right correct. Okay, yeah, so I've definitely driven through it, but I don't think i've I've spent any time beautiful town. Are there any music venues there?
There used to be Harlow's. Oh, Harlow's. Yeah, Okaylos isn't doing anything right now? Oh okay, gotcha. Peterborough needs a venue? Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Well you want to, uh, you want to play another one? Sure? I want to make sure we get at least one more. And if you're just joining us, a temple Mountain is here with us alive in studio, playing some songs for us. Pull those Mike's back up. There, there we go. This is called individuation. Should be just playing like, should be playing covers or I don't even know how to just how this stuff works.
No, this is this is we love it. I mean you can, you can, you can play a cover if you want to. But we love your originals. Okay, yeah sounds good. Yeah before but I've seen your eyes and the leggings that you wore turned me on that night. I felt so insecure. My body is just not right,
So now I need more. Your beauty always shines. I fell refuse sky to reach shutnther shure with mountain tops so high with you for earth?
Would it all be different? Six years ago? And as I grew water to the season scammarcle oh I waits oh? I wonder as I fallen to a hole with another rench shorter and new foot to grow? I bet you once before, a long long time ago, as age less age are a lot has yet been shown, And how it all feels different without you by my side and all else exchanging with you're far away heady would it all the difference? Six years ago? Assack and Walter do the season scab marc oh I wait oh ourder as I fall into a hole with another edge shorter, A new foots grow another its shorter new foot grow another.
In short, the new foot grow very nice. That's called individuation. Individuation and define that if you would for our listeners. Oh, I feel like dja vu. Yeah. We probably talked about that last time, which is kind of like the acceptance and becoming of yourself. OK. That's totally not what the definition is, but that's my definition. Sure, sure, yeah we should mention uh again for people who didn't hear us last time when we had you on Schema your album which you can get it on band camp and Spotify and everything everywhere you're everywhere you find your music.
All of these song titles, they're all terms of well, you're I go to school for clinical mental health counseling, but you got my bachelor's degree in just psychology, okay, and you can't do much of a psychology bachelor's degree. So I wanted to like kind of put purpose to it. Yeah. I wrote an album based on it. Yeah. Yeah, So these are all clinical terms, if you will. Yeah, and uh, I love songs of clinical terms. Was that challenging or did that come to you pulling that off? Because in what sense like the titles of it or like, yeah, and in terms of just making sure and obviously the titles have to fit the songs, yeah, in some way.
So to put all of that together, it's a full album ten songs. I mean, was that a challenge? I think at the moment it would have been like if I did it today, because I'm in a different process and different stage of my career. But by my senior year of college, those were so embedded in my schema. If you will that that makes sense, Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, absolutely. Do you intend to continue that theme in the future with maybe the next album I think is gonna be called case Studies, which you could say is psychology based.
But I don't think I'm going to title them with psychological terms anymore. I think I'm gonna give them. I think the titles are gonna fit more with the lyrics stay okay, yeah, okay, Melanie and the chat says a song with a clinical psychology terms. How intriguing is that the person that says my beard is yeah, sturdy, sturdy? Well actually, uh, I think she was expressing a concern that it's not sturdy enough. Yes, you want to Uh, it's too late. I don't mind. You want to grow it up? I have curly beard hair.
So how would how would Stacy feel about that. If you if you had a sturdier a bigger, sturdier beard. I don't know, Stacy, how would you feel I have? I think she would like it. She likes the beard good. Yeah, she had the beard. That's that's that's good. Uh. J Fed is also in the Facebook live chat who is Melanie's husband, and he also is always very concerned with beards. And Andy seems to like your music too. Oh uh. Stacy says, your body your choice. That's such a Stacy line. I love that. There you go.
Yeah, well, your beard is a part of your body. I mean, there's just no getting around it. Love you, Stacy. By the way, when Justin Michaels made a comment to about how a lot of places need more venues, you know, we were talking about how Peterborough Harlow's and they're not doing anything. Do you have any favorite venues to play or there are certain places that you really like particularly going to I do. Well. What I will say is people like do you know New Hampshire Music Collective, and like, yes, Midnight and Midnight in Nashua too.
They're doing they're doing really credible things with music. At the moment. We know very well Ellen is Ellen and you have my heart. I'm actually playing at Terminus in a couple of weeks, so I'm very excited about that. Yeah yeah. So in terms of favorite venues in New Hampshire, at the very least, I really like playing at Nova Arts and Keene. That is a very intimate room and the people who go there they listen. Anonymous coffee house in Lebanon, they're really great, They're very intimate. The New Yorker just came out in you I was so cute.
That's really funny. Oh you know when I was on the Real New Yorker, I was trying to sound like an Irishman the whole time in Ireland. Yeah, and I could not get it down. On the last day, I feel like I finally got it. But now I sound like a beatles Man. But let's see, the loading dock in Littleton's really great. I haven't played anywhere in Manchester yet, but I want to play at a Strange Brew. Yeah yeah, that's big on my list and uh yeah, any for it. That's that's done by New Hampshire Music Collective has been a really great experience too.

Oh yeah, rabbit, Rabbit forgot about that. Yes, have you met John before? Yeah? Yeah, we have. We met John at the Run Like Thieves Show and Conquered. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a nice venue. Yeah, I saw a Renny Hunt there. Actually, it's a beautiful venue. I'm what's his canton the Canton Room. I think it's called the one of the artists that they actually just got for that sold out completely and then they had to do the bigger room.
Taylor his last name's blanking on. Oh Taylor Hughes. Ye, he's been on the show. Oh yeah, we had him a couple of years ago. He's such a good guy. Yeah, very He sold out like three hundred tickets. Wow. Actually, really it's awesome score for New Hampshire. You know that's that's really good. Yeah you want to uh yeah, you want to play one more? Sure time for actually play a new one? Oh awesome, awesome. This is also gonna be on the album. Uh. It was originally called Layton Content When I was still obsessed with like names.
But I think I'm gonna call this Stacey song. That actually very nice, kind of an honor of als. Paul Simon has a song called Kathy's Song. This is a song I wrote for
