But this is of course yep, it's got the logo and the artwork.

Speaker 11: This is the new album. They sent this to me on a thumb drive, USB drive, jump drive, whatever term you want to use. Very very cool. And I bet you there's some stickers in here too, you know, Jenny loves stickers. Let's see, just put some all over our computer. Let's say we go. Oh yeah, and again you won't be able to see these too closely, but I'll just hold them up quickly. There's a bunch of them here. Oh I like that, kind of kind of a play on the bust in Red Sox logo. Is that what that is or the Bruins or something.

Speaker 11: I'm not I don't do sports, but I like these. No, these are these are all very very cool. So these guys are gonna be here Bfraid Boston's Final Raid. Great great band. They've been on the show before August twenty second, they will be here with us live on the show. But the new album called combat Zone, it's up on band camp. That track we played. That's an opener for the album, The Greatest Show in Town. Really really like that. I listened to the whole thing, the whole album. I listened to it on band camp.

Speaker 11: It's really good and now I have a copy of it on a flash drive as well. So very excited about that. So thanks guys. That just showed up in yesterday's mail and I said, well, that's perfect timing. I'll open it this week on the show. And speaking of this week's show, we do have a very very busy one for you. In just a couple of minutes, we're gonna be joined remotely by Jerre Hope. I'm saying his correct name, I hope I'm saying his fors same correctly, Ger Jerre, because I believe it's short for Gerald Jare Eaton.

Speaker 11: A great artist, a great Irish artist who's got a really cool sound. I can't wait to share the single with you that we're gonna play in just a moment. It's called I thought I had a friend and I can't wait to talk to this guy. So he's gonna be joining us remotely, of course, like I said, he is, I don't know if he's literally in Ireland. I think he might be so he will not be in studio with us, but I can't wait to talk to him. In the second hour. We've got the Melted Chapsticks, another great Boston band.

Speaker 11: We met them at the Spot in Nashua not long ago. They were headlining a show our friend grim Rock from Pennsylvania, who was on tour. He opened for them, So that's what brought us to that show that night the Spot in Nashua. We went there to see Grimrock, but of course we stayed for the Melted Chapsticks. Just incredible. Talk to Frankie Hollywood. I believe Frankie is gonna be joining us live in studio. I think the and maybe part of the band will be here in studio, in part will be with us online via Microsoft teams.

Speaker 11: I think that's the plan, but I think the whole band is planning to join us either. You know, whoever can get here will be here, and whoever needs to do so remotely will be with us. But I cannot wait to talk with them. They just sent me to a couple of live tracks, live recordings of a big show they just played. We'll tell you all about that when the time comes. They will be here with us an hour number two New Marrow Dose, as I like to say. And then in the third hour we have brand Hodjack from Wooden Overcoat, that's his project.

Speaker 11: He will be with us in the first half remotely. He's from Portland, Portland, Oregon. He'll be with us in the first half of the second hour, and then in the second half. I'm sorry, see I'm getting confused. I told you it's a busy show. He'll be with us in the first half of the third hour, New Marrow Trace. In the second half of the third hour, will be joined by Charles Richardson, who is of course host of The Charles Richardson Show. And he's gonna be talking some wrestling with us, some WWE because this weekend is Summer Slam.

Speaker 11: It is once again this year, two nights tonight and tomorrow night, and Charles is gonna be here with us to talk about that a little bit in the second half of the third hour. So I was a guest recently on the Charles Richardson Show, and you know, we've known each other a long time. He's been on this show many times. I've been in his show many times. Oh, he's a good time can't wait to talk to him, So that will be coming up at eleven thirty a m. Eastern time for those of you who are in the Eastern time zone.

Speaker 11: Of course, we love all of our local listeners and everybody who joins us online from all over the world. So I think what we're gonna do right now, let's go ahead and we're gonna play this track, this is the single from Jarre Eaton, and then we're gonna talk with him. He will be with us, he'll be with us online again. I believe you know he's intercontinental and intercontinental guest. Can we say that all the way from Ireland. Let's go ahead and play this. Like I said, he's got a cool sound, but I will forewarn you the subject matter of the song itself.

Speaker 3: It's sad.

Speaker 11: It's a bit maudlin, if you will. But we'll get into all of that with him. I'm sure. I'm sure he'll be happy to talk about it, even though it is a sad subject, both the song and the album that he's recorded. But but let's give this a spend and then we'll talk to him on the other side of this. This is I thought I had a friend Jared eaton.

Speaker 3: I thought out a friend, you will not count all to.

Speaker 9: The end, one that it seemed.

Speaker 5: On the studma everything.

Speaker 12: Now I've watched the cand over to the point of then,

Speaker 12: but it's final, so you cross it in your mind.

Speaker 12: I had to get away.

Speaker 3: Still hoots meet every day? Are you wanting or somebody on?

Speaker 7: Oh?

Speaker 9: I wanted puts.

Speaker 4: Some face riding long.

Speaker 13: Now everything that I was thinking off.

Speaker 3: This book, what I lost with Now I've watched the candle burn.

Speaker 14: How I wish I couldn't return back to the time.

Speaker 14: I can still see it in my mind.

Speaker 3: He used the spirit. There was laughter there would see.

Speaker 4: To figure breathing at first, starting every day.

Speaker 15: That's the reason I would throw it off with the things we never said.

Speaker 9: And I watched you.

Speaker 11: I warned you. It's a sad song, but a beautiful one. That is Jarre Eaton, and that is called I thought I had a friend, and let's see we're having a little I think we're having an issue though connecting with him, because this is communicating with him by email. He's got the link and everything. He's ready to go, but he's not there. So I think what we're gonna do. Let's go ahead and play another track while we figure this out. This is called The Time It Takes to Fall. This is this is another favorite of mine of his.

Speaker 16: The donning off tomorrow, the closing of a door, the turning off a corner, the fact of a good.

Speaker 17: The setting of the sun, the genesis and reasons, the soul and of the deathny, the changing of the season.

Speaker 3: The final conson. It's time it six two four.

Speaker 13: Side is.

Speaker 18: The tide has side and flies us a shadow behind

Speaker 18: cover of running from face, the burn of.

Speaker 3: The flame, the sweet bid up, the shade.

Speaker 19: It turned to.

Speaker 3: Turn it to.

Speaker 11: What a great sound. The Time it Takes the Fall? That is jare eaton and we have him on with us via ree stream. Hello are you there, sir, Hey a good, good, Welcome to the show. Yeah, we played, Uh, we played The Time It Takes a Fall, And before that we played I thought I had a friend, and I did warn the audience. I said, these songs are beautiful, and they really are. I love these songs, but but they are sad and uh, you know, and and we'll get into all of it. But first of all, Jared, am I saying your first name correctly?

Speaker 11: Is a jar short for Gerald.

Speaker 19: And I was about to compliment you for that, because it's one of the things that has been a revelation to me is how easily you could mispronounce three letters. But it has been Yeah, I've been called gear and different things, but now you're bang on jarr is the one yet.

Speaker 11: Oh, very very good. I'm glad. I'm glad. Well, I you know, I I do cheat when I'm not sure, I look it up because people might not know this, but you can go on YouTube and find out how to pronounce almost anything. You just type in how to pronounce what you know, whatever it is. And I do that a lot with names. I'll find a video of someone saying the name so that I, you know, try to make sure I get it right.

Speaker 9: So but that works for you? Is that what you did this time?

Speaker 11: That's that's literally what I did. Because in the United States, Jerr is not a common name. Gerald is a common name.

Speaker 19: But my full name is Gerard, Gerard Gerard, and I had a I had an American uncle, uh uncle as I would have known as Uncle Jared when I when I was a kids, and he was really good to be used to send me over baseball hats and T shirts and amazing things like that. But obviously there was an Irish connection there as well. But yeah, so he was he he was a Gerard and was American.

Speaker 9: I gotcha, A great guy, Yeah.

Speaker 11: I gotcha. Okay, So obviously I want to talk to you about the album season changes and you know, as I did say, it is it is up sad, although probably cathartic for you, I would assume, but this is about this is about the the end of a long marriage, correct, Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 9: Mean it was.

Speaker 19: It was written, It began with with with with. The first song was a Toted Friend. That was the first one I'd written a few years ago, and I had no real kind of idea that it was going to become an album at that point. It was just a song that I felt driven to write at that moment. It was how I was feeding. And I worked with a with a close friend of mine, Duncan Maitland, who's actually sitting beside me right now, but he's been very quiet, I don't So we worked in that together and I didn't even release the straightaway.

Speaker 19: He sat on it for a while and uh and then released it. But yeah, I was going through breakup of of of my marriage and yeah, so that it was quite a it was a difficult time and stressful time. Everything's okay now, which is which is is a good end to the story, I suppose, But yeah, it drove me to write these songs and in some way.

Speaker 9: Create I think that the best music i've i've ever I've ever done. You know, well was it?

Speaker 11: I mean, did you find it therapeutic? I always say that when you can take anything, and this comes up a lot on the show, when you can take something that's you know, traumatic, or just very emotionally challenging, whatever it is, if you can create art from it, that's really kind of the best therapy, right, I mean, did you find that with making this album?

Speaker 9: I did? Yeah, I did. I think you're you're, you're, you're spot on.

Speaker 2: I think.

Speaker 9: I'm always a bit kind of I feel self conscious about using words like I'm an artist or I'm.

Speaker 19: A you know, creative, But you know, I've always been a creative person, I suppose, and that's been it's been just it's who I It's who I am, it's what I am. And I think creative people and artistic people

Speaker 19: they always channel everything through whatever that art is. If you're a painter, or you're a musician or you're a writer, and it's just it's it's what you use to to deal with happy situations and sad situations and difficult situations.

Speaker 9: So it was it was very.

Speaker 19: I'm very proud of it, but it's also it's hard to listen to. I haven't listened to the album since.

Speaker 11: I finished it, you know, really interesting.

Speaker 9: Yeah, which is interesting.

Speaker 19: And I watched I watched the documentary Great, the Great documentary bout Scott Walker a few years ago, and in it he is saying how he never ever listens to an album after he finishes it, And at that time I remember watching it going Wow, that's crazy, how could he not do that?

Speaker 9: And I've found myself exactly the same place. Yeah, I don't know. I think it's a number of things.

Speaker 19: You know, you put so much, you listen to it so much when you're making it at every stage of the way, and then you're never one hundred percent happy with it.

Speaker 9: You know, I'm really proud of it, but I'm not one hundred percent happy with it. But you never are. They don't listen back and hear the things that you that argue about it. I think it is probably what it is.

Speaker 5: You know.

Speaker 11: I've often heard actors say something similar to that, you know, I've I've heard many many actors say, I don't watch my own films. I can't. I've even heard directors say that, you know. But but yeah, I think it's less common with musicians. And that's why that struck me as surprising when you said that. But I but I get it, you know, because once it's done, uh, and once it's out, once it's out there in the world, uh, you know, anytime you go back and listen to it. Yeah, it's it's natural as a creative person to think, you know what, maybe maybe I would have done this differently, maybe this mix should have been different, whatever it is, But.

Speaker 9: You can can't change it at that point. So that's that's I think that's that's exactly it.

Speaker 19: When you when you've once you've signed off on it up until that point intil you can always change something. But once you've once you've given the green light at that guy, that's it. Then we're gonna go with that. You cannot change it anymore. So you don't want to hear something that you wish you could change. And I think that's that's probably it. Plus you just move on to the next right down, which which I which I've done and and and you know, so that's that's the other side of you.

Speaker 9: Just you just have to move on to the next thing.

Speaker 11: And this is but by the way, this is your debut solo album. Correct, I mean obviously you know you've you've worked as a musician for for a long time, but this is this is your first solo album.

Speaker 9: Yeah, first solo album.

Speaker 19: I mean, I mean, I'm you know, I've been I've been in bands and making music since I was you know, probably about fifteen, and I would have released, you know, a few few albums with projects of my own where I would have been the singer, but there were always band band names. But this is the first time it's and I even feel a little bit, I don't know, it made this some kind of an insecurity in in me in saying it's a solo album, because I've got so many amazing friends and musicians, you know, Duncan here beside me, and and everybody else has played on there with me, so I do feel it's like a collective of musicians.

Speaker 19: But it is my name on the front, so it is it is a solo album. I've said it, it's a solo album, but yeah, so.

Speaker 9: Yeah, it is.

Speaker 19: It's the first solo album, although it's the biggest band I've ever had right around me. You know, we launched it with a fourteen piece band when we launched the album last late last year. So yeah, it's the biggest band I've ever had on a Maslo Artists.

Speaker 11: How daunting is that because you know obviously, and you know, listening to those two songs, our listeners know just from hearing those that you know this isn't just you sitting down with an acoustic guitar. You know, this is a wash production to say the least.

Speaker 19: Yeah, I think that's the other thing that's been really,

Speaker 19: it's been wonderfully the last couple of years for various reasons. Obviously the personal stuff I was going through, but just as a musician, I faced a lot of.

Speaker 9: Fears for myself, which included going on stage on my own with my.

Speaker 19: Guitar, which was always a fear I had on something I ran a mile from for years, years and years.

Speaker 9: But I've faced that fear and I do that now, and I do it with still a little nervousness, but I look forward to it. I've done it with just my.

Speaker 19: Flawtist, which sounds very very push. We've done gigs just the two of us. We've done it as a trio with double bass as well. We've done it with up to the fourteen pieces. So we've done about everything, and so I've become very comfortable with reworking the songs. I'm not a backing track person and never would be. And people would say to me, you know, when you hear the strings on the album, Oh yeah, you could, you know, you can have the strings on backing tracks, And I'm like.

Speaker 9: No, no, no no.

Speaker 19: If the gig isn't big enough for the string section, we do it a different way. Yes, songs can live and breathe in many different ways. I think the emotion in the songs and the part in the songs is what makes them for me, makes them special for me, and you hope that that makes them special for the audience member too. And I think I know back in tracks work for some people, but as a musician, I'm always very conscious when I go to see somebody if there's backing tracks, my year goes to that and I go who's playing.

Speaker 19: I can't see anybody playing that what's going on? And then once I've once I've twigged that, I think it just sort of taints the whole experience for me a little bit.

Speaker 9: Sure, So I would never do that.

Speaker 19: Yeah, it's like and so so I do do it sometimes on my own and and and but I love doing it. The most recent gig in Dublin we did with with a quartet string quartet flute, and then Duncan was on a piano and twelve string guitar and I was on six string guitar for some of the songs, and that that was a beautiful way doing the songs as well.

Speaker 9: It was it was that felt very special too, you know.

Speaker 11: Yeah, I would imagine it's kind of liberating to be able to to perform these songs in different configurations, you know, because you know, you mentioned backing tracks, and some artists who try to do that, especially you know, arena acts who want to try to replicate what's on the record as closely as possible. But I've always looked at it and I don't have any objection to that. Some people, like some people have an ethical and actual ethical objection to that. I don't personally, but I've always looked at it as you know, if I go to see you live and you're not able to reproduce what's on the record because you know, you're not using backing tracks and you don't have all these people on stage with you, and so what ends up coming out is something a little more stripped down, maybe raw, more raw, you know whatever.

Speaker 11: That's cool to me.

Speaker 20: I like that.

Speaker 11: I don't need to hear exactly what's on the record. I want that live experience, however you choose to bring it forth, you know what I mean exactly?

Speaker 9: Yeah, And I've liked the idea.

Speaker 19: Recently and the gigs that we've done that I kind of feel, I once, every time we do is to be a different experience for people so that they don't feel like they're just getting the same gig each time they come along that you know that they will go away, and god, I just I equally enjoyed that with the smaller lineup or as I did with bigger lineup, and knowing that the next time is a gig that go we're going to go again because what way is he going to do with this time? You know, we don't know we don't know what it's going to be each time we go, and I like that idea, you know.

Speaker 19: But when it comes to back in tracks, I love that.

Speaker 19: The one playing with backing tracks that I love is Keith Moon when he played with the Who way back. I don't know what ear that would have been when he was trying to play along with Oley that, but that was that's crazy and they were popping through headphones.

Speaker 19: Keith Moon trying to stick with a backing track is just the funniest things.

Speaker 9: But that's that that I find. Uh, that was acceptable.

Speaker 11: Now I have to ask you this regarding the album season changes. Uh, you've probably been asked this, I assume it. It seems to me like an obvious question. But has your ex do you know if if your ex has heard the album?

Speaker 19: Yeah, No, we're we're we're still on great terms with each other, you know, we're Yeah, So no, everything.

Speaker 9: Is cool in that way. So yeah, no, she has, she she's she's she's come to see me perform. Oh only recently.

Speaker 19: I did a little festival here last weekend, and she she was she was watching me me, uh, doing a bit of half an hour a seat of the songs.

Speaker 9: So yeah, yeah, no, it's it's all good. I mean, like I think I think what I've said in in in other shots about it.

Speaker 19: As much as it's an album about about the breakup, But there's no malice or venom or anger.

Speaker 9: Yes, I think it's it's it's regrets and it's acceptance and.

Speaker 19: You know, thinking about the kids and how they would feel, and it's it's about those sides of things.

Speaker 9: It's not an angry there's no blame being thrown around.

Speaker 7: You know.

Speaker 19: So, so if it was, if it was that kind of an album, you know, one we wouldn't be talking to each other. And two I don't think you'd sit and listen to that if it were, you know so, So no it's not, it's not. I don't know how she feels, you know, listening to them. But yeah, no, no, no, we're we're in a good place.

Speaker 9: Yeah.

Speaker 11: Good, No, that's good to hear. Excellent, excellent. And by the way, so you call this, I was reading you call this renaissance pop, and I'm curious what that what does that term mean to you?

Speaker 19: But I suppose, you know, brock pop will be a term that is much more kind of views for music.

Speaker 9: Like what we've done with the record.

Speaker 19: In a way, brock pop is normally just pop music that uses classical.

Speaker 9: Instruments and and and so on.

Speaker 19: But for me, like for me, renaissance is like the whole Renaissance movement would have been about uh.

Speaker 9: Re rebirth and trying to to do something new with something old. I suppose it just seemed like a term that was that made more sense. I mean, barock music to me, as.

Speaker 19: I'm dabbling in in more of that kind of stuff, but the currents that I'm doing weirdly, but yeah, barock music,

Speaker 19: it's it's it's a different kind of form of music. So I don't know, rock pop maybe it rolls off the tone better, but renaissance pop. I just thought I needed to create my own genre.

Speaker 2: You know.

Speaker 11: Yeah, no, that makes sense, that makes sense. And it is like I said, you know, the production is very lush, and it's just it's got a sound that well you certainly don't hear on American radio. I don't know about there, but you know here, you know, it's unlike anything that I've heard recently, and it's it's really it just kind of pulls you in because there's so much there's so much going on and just sonically it's it's just so interesting. So and I'm also curious about the recording process of this because I would imagine it was it must have taken a while to do this again because of the the complexity of the production.

Speaker 11: It's not just you with an acoustic guitar, or it's not just you playing in a punk band. This is there's a lot of moving parts here. Obviously. How how long did it take to make this album?

Speaker 9: Well, it took a while, but it took a while for for different reasons.

Speaker 19: I mean probably mostly back to what I said earlier wrong where you know, I wrote the ones, the first song, and we recorded that.

Speaker 9: I had no.

Speaker 19: Plan to make a full album at that point, so so it did kind of happen song by song, to be honest with you. So like we did the first song, then we recorded Hollow and again the first song was me and Duncan. The second song we brought in another friend of our, Sean Coleman, who is from Virginia in the US there and he's he just does a lot of the kind of studio stuff. He's an incredible Musician's part of the Live the Big Live Band as well, so it became three of us, and then on the next song we brought in the brass and so it kind of grew.

Speaker 9: So the the musicians and the the vision I think grew as we went along. So it took longer because of that, I think.

Speaker 19: Really, whereas now with what's going to be the second album, I think I've pretty much got it written because all the musicians are already there, and I know we've got the string players, we've got the class players, we've got the wood with players.

Speaker 9: So this time it will be a lot quicker.

Speaker 19: First time, it was a growing and expanding project as we went so I think that's why it took longer. But yeah, you know, it's all recorded by ourselves, you know, in either our studios. The only time we used anywhere that wasn't our own, I think, was with the string quartet because we just needed a little bit of space. Sure, we went to a friend studio that let us use the space there. Everything else is done in our own, you know, ether my house, duncan tell, Sean says.

Speaker 21: So, yeah, So it's it's a it's a big sound, you know, and we we work combination of some onto tape, some on to.

Speaker 19: You know, onto computer, depending on so we combine the formats. We like to use type as much as we can.

Speaker 19: We're practical and.

Speaker 9: Yeah, so it's it's fun. I think we we we enjoy all of the main people involved.

Speaker 19: I think we all we're all of the same vintage and we we love the same music and we're influenced by the same.

Speaker 9: Sonically as well with the same kind of artists. So it's it's very the direction is kind of understood, so it's an enjoyable and and.

Speaker 11: By the way, for listeners who might not be, you know, I'm enough of a recording nerd, I think I know the answer to this. But for for listeners who don't, when you talk about using tape, I assume that's because you want the warmth with which you definitely capture on this album, but you want you want the warmth that comes with tape versus digital in terms of the sound.

Speaker 9: Yeah, just the warmth certainly is the main thing.

Speaker 19: And then also I think the the focus on getting the take and the performance rather than you know, the thing with digital is the editing possibilities, and you could sing something twenty times and pick words from each bit and put them all together. There's something about the focus of trying to get a take as as in entire as possible. And I think all artists that use tape will will kind of voice that that it kind of focuses there. It focuses them to really try and capture something in that moment, you know, because it's it's better the more you can get down in.

Speaker 9: In single takes, the better, you know, right right?

Speaker 11: Absolutely absolutely? And then so you're already working on the next one. What's what's the next album about?

Speaker 19: The next album is a pretty currently, it's a pretty dark, tending record. I think I've already I think it's going to be called mask. I've got an exclusive now. I've just told you that we're we're bet to start recording again. Towards the end of making the first album, I met a he's become a great friend now. And Andrew Keeling is his name, and he's he's an orchestrator and a ranger. And he heard he heard the title track Season Changes when we released that, and just made contact with me online. He really liked what we were doing.

Speaker 19: And he's worked with like people like Robert Fripp and orchestrated with him and stuff, and so he's become a really he plays flute.

Speaker 9: Now when I do just duo gigs, it's me and Andrew.

Speaker 9: So he's come on board. So as I've been writing now, he's just been ustrating the strings as we've gone.

Speaker 19: So like that's why I'm I'm it's much quicker this time, and I'm really ready to get started recording.

Speaker 9: Yeah, but it is quite dark. It's quite dark. I think it's it's dealing with a lot of the idea of the of the mask. For me is it's just that feeling of.

Speaker 19: The exterior image that we give give outwardly and the real, uh, what's really going on, you know, for for all of us.

Speaker 9: I suppose we are in a world now where everything from social media to you know, I'd be very cynical about that stuff. You know, what people put up.

Speaker 19: Somebody puts up a post about their amazingly happy family life, you know, and all these wonderful photographs.

Speaker 9: For probably the opposite is true.

Speaker 19: Maybe maybe not, Maybe there are a lot of happy people out there, but yeah, I think it's kind of looking yeah, somewhat at that kind of side of of of our personalities. And uh so, yeah, I think there's some I think there's some great songs on this second right, I'm excited to get it done. I want to do it quickly, own to recorded, more like a batch of like how albums should be recorded, where the songs are all written and then we start recording, rather than right first one was one song at a time.

Speaker 19: You know, I'd rather you know, Yeah, I feel like about all the songs and let's let's go, you know so I think I think that's where we're gonna.

Speaker 11: Be right now.

Speaker 22: That makes sense.

Speaker 11: Yeah, No, She's like, I can't wait to hear it. Like I said, I love the I love the current album. Of course, season changes in a moment. Jared, We're gonna let you go, and it's been wonderful to talk with you, but I want to ask you well to two things. One is what song I'm gonna put you on the spot here? What song from the album should we play at the end of our conversation. I'm gonna let you pick.

Speaker 9: I is it? Is it gonna close your show? Or no, that won't be close.

Speaker 11: Well, it's gonna it's gonna close our segment, Yeah, but not the full show.

Speaker 19: Probably probably the title track. I think it's got it's it's the title track. I mean it's a long track.

Speaker 11: So oh that's fine. Uh oh did we lose you? Oh, Juror is frozen. I'm looking over at the screen and not only do I not hear him, but his his picture is frozen. So we might have to end it there. Well, well I'm gonna I'm gonna keep talking. We'll see if he unfreezes. But yeah, he is completely frozen on my screen. But uh, the album is called Season Changes. It is on band camp, by the way. Uh and you know, if you're a regular listener of the show, you know I'm a huge proponent of band camp. Love band camp.

Speaker 11: It's very artist friendly. I'm glad this happened at the end of our conversation, at least with with dr because I've really enjoyed uh jar rather, I'm sorry, Jerr, I gotta get used to saying that. See, that's not in America. I've never met anyone with that name.

Speaker 23: You know.

Speaker 11: Just Jare short for Jeralder Gerard or Jared I think is how he said it. But anyway, Jare Eaton. The album is on band camp. But of course you can look him up online. Just Google him again jare' spelled g E R and then of course eton E A T O N. Check out the album Season Changes. I listened to the whole thing and it's really really great. But yeah, we'll go ahead and we'll give the su spin. We'll listen to the title track and jar, I don't know if you can hear me. I cannot hear you, as I said, you are completely frozen on the screen.
