5:00 Speaker 4: Day of spring.

5:01 Speaker 5: So happy uh, almost spring everybody. We'll see if the

5:05 Speaker 5: weather cooperates with that. But let me get those mics

5:08 Speaker 5: up and uh, I'm really looking forward to this. So

5:11 Speaker 5: Peter the photographer is here. Good morning, sir, Good morning.

5:14 Speaker 5: How are you very well?

5:15 Speaker 4: Very well? Love that song?

5:18 Speaker 3: What what can you?

5:20 Speaker 5: I mean? We should we should talk about that a

5:21 Speaker 5: little bit. We should also mention too, you did bring

5:23 Speaker 5: your guitar and you're gonna play live, which looking forward

5:26 Speaker 5: to that. But uh yeah, I mean what inspired you

5:29 Speaker 5: to uh what inspired you to write that song?

5:31 Speaker 4: Not not that you have to look too.

5:33 Speaker 5: Deeply into the lyrics to figure out the meaning. A

5:35 Speaker 5: righty is for pretty direct, which.

5:38 Speaker 8: I love front. So the spark for the song, which

5:42 Speaker 8: uh became the original bass of the song, came out.

5:48 Speaker 8: I was sitting in my home studio and uh, I

5:52 Speaker 8: was looking to record something else. I need to get closer.

5:58 Speaker 3: Uh.

6:00 Speaker 8: I was attempting to record something else and having some

6:04 Speaker 8: technical issues and I needed a break. So I started

6:10 Speaker 8: scrolling on my phone and it was right when they

6:15 Speaker 8: had released the report that they that Don Lemon had

6:18 Speaker 8: been arrested.

6:19 Speaker 5: Ah.

6:20 Speaker 8: Yes, and I literally just shut the phone off, put

6:24 Speaker 8: it down, sat back and went. They kidnapped Don Lemon

6:32 Speaker 8: but left us Hannity and my brain went and ten

6:37 Speaker 8: minutes later I had ninety percent of the lyrics written.

6:41 Speaker 8: I didn't overthink the music, which is weird for me,

6:44 Speaker 8: but just sat down and strummed a couple of chords.

6:47 Speaker 8: And you know, I can't say I've always been an

6:52 Speaker 8: overly political person, but I've had my beliefs. I have

6:56 Speaker 8: stayed true to those beliefs for most of my life. Yeah,

7:01 Speaker 8: And one of those beliefs is that most politicians, most presidents,

7:04 Speaker 8: are not the best, not the best. I think some

7:10 Speaker 8: have great intentions. I think they all think they have

7:13 Speaker 8: great intentions, but my perspective on what has gone on

7:17 Speaker 8: over this past year is complete ridiculousness. Whether you agree

7:24 Speaker 8: with the policies or not, the show is ridiculous, ridiculous.

7:29 Speaker 8: So I made a ridiculous song.

7:32 Speaker 5: How do you describe the style of that song, like

7:36 Speaker 5: in terms of the genre. I mean, it reminds me

7:38 Speaker 5: of something you might hear in a bar on St.

7:41 Speaker 5: Patrick's Stay.

7:42 Speaker 8: That was I don't know that that was the intent,

7:46 Speaker 8: but the delivery brought it there.

7:48 Speaker 4: Yeah.

7:49 Speaker 8: I certainly if I were to envision the perfect scenario

7:54 Speaker 8: of playing that in a live situation, it would probably be,

7:59 Speaker 8: you know, at the Strange Brew tavern on Saint Patrick's Day,

8:03 Speaker 8: right right, with everybody swaying and yeah yeah, everybody kind

8:07 Speaker 8: of saying, got that six eight feel of We're just

8:09 Speaker 8: gonna clank our glasses, which if you listen in the background,

8:12 Speaker 8: there is actually two beer bottles being clanked on the beat.

8:15 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, So that style of song. Because you know,

8:20 Speaker 5: we have a couple of your your studio tracks from

8:23 Speaker 5: from earlier in your career, but you never recorded anything

8:25 Speaker 5: quite like that. Nore right, No, yeah, no, is it

8:30 Speaker 5: the way that it came out? Is it kind of

8:32 Speaker 5: exactly the way you heard it in your mind or yeah, yep.

8:36 Speaker 8: The minute I finished the lyrics, although those aren't the

8:40 Speaker 8: all the original lyrics, but the when I heard it

8:43 Speaker 8: in my head as I was writing it, I think

8:46 Speaker 8: it was very much that flogging Molly's drop kick Murphy's,

8:51 Speaker 8: which it's it's kind of been compared to Wow, it's

8:53 Speaker 8: got that vibe, and it does, and it was, but

8:56 Speaker 8: I think it's a little more over the top vocally, yeah,

8:59 Speaker 8: than that kind of stuff. And it was because that's

9:01 Speaker 8: how I wanted the message delivered.

9:03 Speaker 5: Right.

9:04 Speaker 8: It's not the news that makes me think this, it's

9:06 Speaker 8: watching who the song is about, right, And that's that's

9:11 Speaker 8: how he comes across to me. That's how I hear him, Like,

9:14 Speaker 8: if he really spoke the way his character wanted to,

9:17 Speaker 8: that's how he would sound.

9:19 Speaker 5: Right, right. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, that makes sense. No,

9:23 Speaker 5: I love it, of course.

9:24 Speaker 3: You know.

9:24 Speaker 5: We were very happy to do the world radio premiere

9:26 Speaker 5: of it here on and.

9:27 Speaker 8: I thank you for that. Absolutely, been like fifteen years,

9:29 Speaker 8: twenty years since I've done a song on the radio. Yeah,

9:33 Speaker 8: it's kind of exciting.

9:35 Speaker 5: Well, speaking of which too, you know, because we were

9:36 Speaker 5: talking off air earlier, So it was probably fifteen to

9:40 Speaker 5: twenty years ago.

9:41 Speaker 4: Oh my god, but I interviewed you before.

9:43 Speaker 5: Yeah, because the first sort of radio show, our podcast, well,

9:48 Speaker 5: we weren't even using the word podcast.

9:51 Speaker 8: Right, it was internet radio.

9:53 Speaker 5: Internet radio was the term.

9:55 Speaker 4: Yeah.

9:55 Speaker 5: Our friend Hammer, whom I haven't seen in a very

9:58 Speaker 5: long time, but he had Rage rock Radio dot com.

10:01 Speaker 5: And I'll always be very grateful to Hammer because not

10:04 Speaker 5: only did he and I become very good friends at

10:06 Speaker 5: the time, but although I haven't kept in touch with him,

10:09 Speaker 5: but he gave me my first opportunity to actually do this. Like,

10:12 Speaker 5: if it were not for Hammer, I might not be

10:15 Speaker 5: sitting here right now at w M and H. Because

10:17 Speaker 5: Hammer I gave me an opportunity to host a show

10:20 Speaker 5: on Rage rock Radio dot com and and and that

10:24 Speaker 5: gave me my start. And uh so I had interviewed you.

10:27 Speaker 5: We were trying to figure out so it must have

10:28 Speaker 5: been fear of flying was because I remember during the

10:31 Speaker 5: interview we talked about your pension for climbing staff folding

10:34 Speaker 5: it shows and you were a climber, and for some

10:39 Speaker 5: reason that stuck out in my head. But you were

10:41 Speaker 5: in fear of flying, and of course was Soundtrack to Monday,

10:44 Speaker 5: which was before or after?

10:46 Speaker 4: I get after? That was after okay, f.

10:48 Speaker 8: O F then then Soundtrack to Monday. Gotcha a handful

10:52 Speaker 8: and a half years of nothing.

10:54 Speaker 5: Okay, Now, why why did you step away from it.

10:57 Speaker 4: For a while?

11:01 Speaker 8: I would say I made poor choices on my handling

11:06 Speaker 8: of my available time, okay, and close influences in my life,

11:13 Speaker 8: I think driving me in a direction to spend less

11:18 Speaker 8: time expelling my energy on the things that I really

11:23 Speaker 8: wanted to.

11:24 Speaker 4: Yeah.

11:25 Speaker 8: You know, we've all had bad relationships that we've made

11:28 Speaker 8: choices during those relationships that change the direction of or

11:33 Speaker 8: trajectory of where you want to be going. Oh yeah,

11:36 Speaker 8: and I'm outside of those situations now and rekindling the

11:40 Speaker 8: love for you know, pouring my energy into all of

11:45 Speaker 8: the things that require my energy.

11:48 Speaker 5: Something that I ask everybody who's ever taken a break

11:51 Speaker 5: from music, did you always kind of know that you

11:53 Speaker 5: would get back to it, or did you or was

11:55 Speaker 5: there a point where you really got okay, you always knew?

11:58 Speaker 4: Yeah?

11:58 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, there was never a time where I didn't

12:03 Speaker 8: have this desire to dump everything in my life to

12:07 Speaker 8: pursue it.

12:08 Speaker 4: Okay.

12:08 Speaker 8: I think music in general has always been my first

12:13 Speaker 8: true love, okay, and anything that got in the way

12:16 Speaker 8: of that, I think in a way probably felt the brunt.

12:20 Speaker 4: Of that, okay.

12:22 Speaker 5: And yeah, yeah, it's always interesting, you know, I reflect

12:28 Speaker 5: back on you know, Fortunately, I have a partner who's

12:30 Speaker 5: obviously you know, Jenny's very supportive, and she's involved in

12:33 Speaker 5: the show and everything in fact. But but I know

12:36 Speaker 5: what you mean about relationships where maybe you know, because

12:39 Speaker 5: I've had them too, where maybe you have a partner

12:40 Speaker 5: who's not so supportive and maybe they're even actively trying

12:43 Speaker 5: to destroy tale.

12:45 Speaker 8: As old as time, oldest time. And like you, I

12:49 Speaker 8: I have a partner now that is so supportive. It's ridiculous.

12:55 Speaker 4: Yeah.

12:55 Speaker 3: The the.

12:58 Speaker 8: Freedom that I now have, that's wonderful, having a partner

13:03 Speaker 8: that allows me to feel free. Yeah, my wife, Megan,

13:07 Speaker 8: meg my love.

13:08 Speaker 4: Yeah, she's probably listening.

13:10 Speaker 8: She hopefully is listening and is probably laying in bed

13:13 Speaker 8: just rolling her eyes, going, don't talk about me.

13:19 Speaker 4: No, that's awesome. Though.

13:20 Speaker 5: There's nothing worse than when you get in a relationship

13:22 Speaker 5: with somebody who says when they say, basically I love

13:25 Speaker 5: everything about you. Now change yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely so.

13:29 Speaker 5: Now having a supportive partner is wonderful by the way.

13:32 Speaker 5: So speaking of support, Michael Martina, who we know here

13:35 Speaker 5: at WM and HS Texas.

13:37 Speaker 4: Mike, that's a long story, but he says.

13:40 Speaker 5: Peter is an amazing human being and a great photographer.

13:44 Speaker 5: I love his work with Jolly Cations. Yes, yes, what's

13:47 Speaker 5: what's Jolly Cations?

13:49 Speaker 8: Oh? That is Jake and Christina Jolly Moore. They have

13:53 Speaker 8: a foundation or a nonprofit that they've put together where

13:59 Speaker 8: they raise funds to put together, if I remember correctly,

14:06 Speaker 8: vacations for families going through or have gone through cancer treatment.

14:11 Speaker 8: Oh wow, Okay, Jake had you know, I don't want

14:14 Speaker 8: to speak too much for him, but I will say

14:16 Speaker 8: is an amazing, amazing human He and his wife both

14:22 Speaker 8: excuse me, and they put together these adult prompts I

14:30 Speaker 8: speak for the past couple of years and you pay

14:33 Speaker 8: to get in and all of the money that they

14:35 Speaker 8: raise goes towards these vacations. And Jake had been diagnosed

14:40 Speaker 8: when he was I believe seventeen or eighteen and had

14:44 Speaker 8: beat cancer and is very much alive and well and

14:49 Speaker 8: just puts all of his energy into helping people going

14:53 Speaker 8: through the same thing. Okay, yeah, oh wow, yeah, amazing,

14:57 Speaker 8: couple of them to pieces.

14:58 Speaker 5: Oh wow, that's that's wonderful. And of course, you know

15:03 Speaker 5: he referred to your photography too. Do you want to

15:05 Speaker 5: mention that because you are, of course, Peter the photographer.

15:07 Speaker 5: I am.

15:11 Speaker 3: So.

15:11 Speaker 8: I do weddings, engagement sessions, maternity sessions.

15:17 Speaker 9: Yeah.

15:20 Speaker 8: I've been doing it for about ten years or so.

15:24 Speaker 8: I don't have a website. I can't afford a website anymore.

15:26 Speaker 8: They're just too expensive to keep up and running. But

15:30 Speaker 8: you can find me on Facebook because the photographer LLC.

15:34 Speaker 8: I love doing weddings. I love capturing real things that

15:37 Speaker 8: are happening.

15:38 Speaker 4: Yeah.

15:39 Speaker 8: That must be fun, the stories that unhold throughout the day. Yeah,

15:42 Speaker 8: it's it's just it's it's wonderful to be part of

15:47 Speaker 8: that story for people. And I'm fortunate enough that most

15:52 Speaker 8: of my clients have become kind of friends online.

15:56 Speaker 4: Oh that's great.

15:57 Speaker 8: They've supported some of my music, some of them come

15:59 Speaker 8: on to see me play. We keep in touch here

16:02 Speaker 8: and there, and you know, we've kind of developed, you know,

16:06 Speaker 8: small friendships. Ye kind of grows a little bit from there.

16:09 Speaker 8: So that's one that's amazing and I love working with am.

16:14 Speaker 8: I allowed to mention another radio station. Absolutely so Greg

16:18 Speaker 8: in the morning buzz I've done the Buzzball the past

16:20 Speaker 8: three years, which has been an amazing opportunity, very cool.

16:24 Speaker 8: Gotten to do a few things that stem from there.

16:26 Speaker 8: But I love concert photography. I just love, just like

16:31 Speaker 8: writing a song, taking pictures or grabbing images of moments.

16:36 Speaker 8: It's it's really all the same thing. You're just capturing

16:39 Speaker 8: a moment and it's it's there. Yeah, you know, these

16:43 Speaker 8: moments for these couples, these moments for these musicians, they

16:47 Speaker 8: have that split second that they now get to carry

16:52 Speaker 8: to the rest of their lives. And I love being

16:54 Speaker 8: somebody who gets to give.

16:56 Speaker 5: That to Somebody's fantastic. Yeah, that's awesome. Well I'm got

17:00 Speaker 5: and hear you play. You want to play something, I.

17:02 Speaker 8: Will play something. I'm a little nervous early.

17:04 Speaker 5: So I'll just I'll share with the audience. So, Peter,

17:07 Speaker 5: was you know we were doing a soundcheck before the show.

17:10 Speaker 5: Sounded amazing. I don't know that prior to today, I've

17:14 Speaker 5: ever actually heard you live because I don't remember ever

17:18 Speaker 5: seeing I don't think I ever saw Fear of Flying

17:21 Speaker 5: or a soundtrack to Monday Live, believe it or not.

17:23 Speaker 8: Well, Soundtrack to Monday was a cover band. Okay, so

17:28 Speaker 8: if you weren't into going to hear the cover songs

17:31 Speaker 8: of the day, we wouldn't have. And Fear of Flying

17:35 Speaker 8: was was mainly a cover band that wrote a bunch

17:38 Speaker 8: of really good originals and got pretty dang far on

17:42 Speaker 8: y handful of originals.

17:44 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah that I remember. I remember the songs. Yeah,

17:47 Speaker 4: I remember.

17:50 Speaker 5: I remember Hammer, you know, because he you know, he

17:54 Speaker 5: was obviously producing the show we done on Rage Rock,

17:56 Speaker 5: but he would also kind of be like an extra voice.

17:59 Speaker 5: He would, you know, he chime in on things during

18:00 Speaker 5: the interview, and I remember there was I wish I

18:03 Speaker 5: could remember the name of the song, but I do

18:06 Speaker 5: recall though, like there was a particular Fear of Flying

18:08 Speaker 5: song that he was really enthusiastic about.

18:11 Speaker 8: I bet it was amnesia.

18:13 Speaker 4: That title is familiar.

18:15 Speaker 8: Really, like much heavier Limp Biscuity. Yeah, yeah, which was

18:20 Speaker 8: actually my first and people I still don't think people

18:23 Speaker 8: realize it to this day, because people will still post

18:26 Speaker 8: that song on Facebook. Yeah, every couple of months, somebody

18:30 Speaker 8: will post it and everybody will kind of reminisce on it. Yeah,

18:33 Speaker 8: that was my first political politically charged song. Oh wow,

18:38 Speaker 8: and that came out, I would say two thousand two Wow,

18:44 Speaker 8: two thousand and three, okay, and I wish I had

18:49 Speaker 8: a copy. I'm sure I have a copy of it someway. Yeah,

18:51 Speaker 8: but that song is very much about today.

18:55 Speaker 3: Wow.

18:56 Speaker 8: That talks about you know, people just screwing up everything

19:01 Speaker 8: on the internet and what are we doing? And yeah,

19:05 Speaker 8: this is dumb and there's no place to hide from it.

19:09 Speaker 8: And I don't think people realize that. I could. I'm

19:13 Speaker 8: a talker. I could go on a rant about that,

19:15 Speaker 8: but I won't right now. Maybe if you have me back,

19:18 Speaker 8: we'll talk more about that. Definitely, definitely, yeah, yeah, I

19:22 Speaker 8: think that's probably sorry.

19:24 Speaker 5: Oh, no worries if you're just joining us. Peter the

19:27 Speaker 5: photographer is here with us live in studio and uh yeah.

19:34 Speaker 8: So, oh I don't I don't even know.

19:38 Speaker 4: Well you you want to talk about what you're gonna

19:40 Speaker 4: what you're gonna play?

19:40 Speaker 10: Oh?

19:41 Speaker 8: Sure?

19:42 Speaker 10: So this is.

19:45 Speaker 8: This is a song called Ghosts, and uh, I'm not

19:50 Speaker 8: sure one hundred what it's about, except for it's me

19:55 Speaker 8: just trying to figure out how to effectively move on

20:02 Speaker 8: from making so many mistakes in life and being part

20:06 Speaker 8: of so many mistakes in life and not getting stuck

20:09 Speaker 8: with what I what I refer to as conversations with ghosts.

20:16 Speaker 5: As someone who ruminates constantly, I can already tell I'm

20:19 Speaker 5: going to connect with what you're about to play.

20:22 Speaker 8: Yeah, And I think I think it's it's pretty common.

20:25 Speaker 8: I think a lot of people do it. But this

20:27 Speaker 8: is me kind of journaling the idea that I can't

20:32 Speaker 8: get stuck in my head above the past.

20:35 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, this sounds. It sounds very relatable, and it

20:40 Speaker 5: is something that I think everyone does to varying degrees.

20:43 Speaker 8: And it is brand new, so if I mess it up,

20:45 Speaker 8: I'm sorry.

20:46 Speaker 5: Oh wonderful, brand new, brand new.

20:48 Speaker 4: We love it. We love it all right.

20:50 Speaker 8: So it kind of goes like this. I'm okay, but

21:08 Speaker 8: I'm not.

21:10 Speaker 11: Sticking everything of God.

21:15 Speaker 3: One minute?

21:17 Speaker 9: Half a minute?

21:18 Speaker 3: Do go too? First?

21:22 Speaker 9: When a tickets smoke?

21:25 Speaker 8: Is it all too much?

21:27 Speaker 3: Is it me.

21:30 Speaker 11: Conscious of may insanity?

21:34 Speaker 8: The God's come on.

25:02 Speaker 4: Oh my god, that is so good, dude. I love that.

25:06 Speaker 5: I love that, And uh I was right. I did

25:09 Speaker 5: find that very relatable. Wow, what a great song. If

25:13 Speaker 5: you're just joining us.

25:14 Speaker 4: Peter the photographer is here with us, alive in studio,

25:17 Speaker 4: and that oh that that was so good.

25:20 Speaker 8: So that's brand new, brand new.

25:22 Speaker 4: Oh, that's amazing. That's amazing.

25:23 Speaker 9: Yeah.

25:24 Speaker 4: Now when you record you, uh, do you record everything

25:26 Speaker 4: at home or what's what's kind of your process?

25:28 Speaker 8: So right now I am demoing everything at home, okay,

25:34 Speaker 8: and I'm doing the best that I can the best

25:37 Speaker 8: of my abilities with my limited knowledge of all of

25:41 Speaker 8: the recording world.

25:42 Speaker 4: Yeah.

25:43 Speaker 8: Uh. And I'm gonna be releasing what I do at home,

25:48 Speaker 8: uh and at the same time sending those demos out

25:53 Speaker 8: to some local uh and not so local musicians hopefully

26:00 Speaker 8: fill it up to a fully fully done song or songs.

26:05 Speaker 4: Yeah. So is part of the idea.

26:09 Speaker 5: Are you looking to work with people you've worked with

26:11 Speaker 5: before or.

26:14 Speaker 8: To start Yes, yeah, I think having been out of

26:18 Speaker 8: the actual scene if they're you know, if you want

26:21 Speaker 8: to refer to the area as a scene, I've been

26:27 Speaker 8: largely out of it for about fifteen years, with the

26:30 Speaker 8: exception of doing cover bands and doing some solo acoustic

26:33 Speaker 8: shows here and there, I haven't really been part of

26:36 Speaker 8: the creative scene in well over a decade, maybe closer

26:42 Speaker 8: to two decades. So reaching out to the people that

26:47 Speaker 8: I know, I think is the easy start because there's

26:51 Speaker 8: a lot of players out there that I've heard, not

26:55 Speaker 8: only where we practice. There's a lot of bands over there,

26:58 Speaker 8: and you get an opportunity to hear.

27:00 Speaker 4: Whereas over at Morgan Organs.

27:01 Speaker 8: Yeah, and I am starting to tiptoe my way back

27:06 Speaker 8: out there to places like Bad Burger where they're they're

27:09 Speaker 8: hosting a lot of original stuff, which is awesome. I

27:13 Speaker 8: feel like the original scene, if I can kind of

27:17 Speaker 8: vocally meander for a little bite, was amazing Back in

27:23 Speaker 8: the day. I'd say around ninety eight ninety nine you

27:29 Speaker 8: really started to see there was a lot of bands

27:31 Speaker 8: in the area, but there was really no place to

27:33 Speaker 8: play original stuff, so you kind of had to get creative.

27:37 Speaker 8: But i'd say two thousand and one it really kicked

27:44 Speaker 8: off around here. Like you, you felt the energy if

27:47 Speaker 8: you were part of the scene. You had Mad Bobs,

27:50 Speaker 8: you had the Uptown Tavern, you had the Black Brimmer,

27:54 Speaker 8: the bomb Shelter, the bombshell, my god, the bomb.

27:57 Speaker 4: Shelter wonderful and not so wonderful memories right right.

28:02 Speaker 8: But you had places that really were supporting the creativity

28:07 Speaker 8: of the area, the energy of the area, and I

28:10 Speaker 8: think that built quite a bit. And then you you

28:12 Speaker 8: ended up having the Rage Rock Radio, you had spider

28:15 Speaker 8: Bite Radio. You had so many people in the area

28:18 Speaker 8: that even if they weren't musicians, were helping to really

28:22 Speaker 8: prop the scene up. And it was awesome. Yeah, And

28:25 Speaker 8: somewhere around two thousand and five, two thousand and six,

28:29 Speaker 8: I feel like it just kind of went hmm, and

28:32 Speaker 8: now it's like there there's there's some rumblings that it

28:36 Speaker 8: feels like that ninety eight, ninety nine, two thousand is

28:41 Speaker 8: kind of vibe where people in the area are like, Okay,

28:44 Speaker 8: I'm kind of sick of having to go out to Boston, right,

28:47 Speaker 8: and they're starting to build it.

28:49 Speaker 4: Here's what it feels like.

28:50 Speaker 8: And I hope that that's the case.

28:52 Speaker 4: Yeah.

28:52 Speaker 5: Well, there's so much incredible talent around here. There is,

28:55 Speaker 5: you know, and people will ask ask me, or they'll

28:57 Speaker 5: ask Jenny, because Jenny handles the book in the guests,

29:00 Speaker 5: you know, like, how do you find you know, how

29:02 Speaker 5: do you find all this great talent?

29:04 Speaker 4: It's like, well, that's that's not hard.

29:06 Speaker 3: Right, you know what I mean?

29:07 Speaker 5: Like like for Jenny, the you know, the challenging part

29:10 Speaker 5: is keeping it all organized, which you know she's very

29:12 Speaker 5: good at. But actually finding the talent is you know,

29:16 Speaker 5: this is so much of it. And I'm sure that's

29:17 Speaker 5: true anywhere.

29:18 Speaker 8: Sure, you know.

29:19 Speaker 5: That's why I always tell everybody, you know, check check

29:21 Speaker 5: out what's going on in your area.

29:23 Speaker 3: You know.

29:23 Speaker 5: Obviously we have you know, listeners locally. We also have

29:26 Speaker 5: a lot of people who listen online from other places.

29:28 Speaker 5: And I tell everybody you know, there's there's a lot

29:30 Speaker 5: of incredible music being made right under your nose. You know,

29:34 Speaker 5: you just got to look. It's but it's there. You know,

29:36 Speaker 5: there's there's so much. My dad, you know, he passed

29:40 Speaker 5: away not long ago, but he used to say that

29:43 Speaker 5: we live in a golden age of music because there's

29:45 Speaker 5: so much of it.

29:45 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know it's true. Yeah, it's true. And I

29:52 Speaker 8: think it's difficult too. And we were talking about this

29:59 Speaker 8: before we we went on There is is, there's this

30:02 Speaker 8: this also, so when I talk about the the scene brewing,

30:07 Speaker 8: I'm talking about the twenty somethings.

30:10 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, and we are not that.

30:13 Speaker 8: We have been that and we've lived that. But you know,

30:17 Speaker 8: you and I, if we're talking candidly.

30:20 Speaker 4: We're we're a little older.

30:21 Speaker 8: We're a little older, and most of us as musicians.

30:27 Speaker 8: Being around my age, we took time off for whatever reason,

30:34 Speaker 8: whether there was to to raise our kids, to pursue

30:38 Speaker 8: a career that actually paid the bills. But I find

30:43 Speaker 8: that there's a lot of people our age that are

30:47 Speaker 8: rekindling that love and reigniting. Not that they ever forgot,

30:52 Speaker 8: but but we put it aside. Yeah, for whatever whatever

30:55 Speaker 8: the reason. Yeah, And it's kind of like fifty ish

30:59 Speaker 8: is where where it starts going. Oh, I can open

31:02 Speaker 8: this back up again. Like me fifteen years or so

31:07 Speaker 8: without writing a song, It's like, I still have something

31:09 Speaker 8: to say.

31:10 Speaker 4: Yeah.

31:10 Speaker 8: It doesn't mean I think the whole world is going

31:12 Speaker 8: to grab onto it, but I still have something to say.

31:16 Speaker 8: I didn't do it in my twenties. I mean, I

31:19 Speaker 8: think when you're younger, you get that rock star mentality,

31:22 Speaker 8: like I want to be a rock star, But at

31:24 Speaker 8: the core of it, especially within the jam room, you're

31:27 Speaker 8: just doing it for the love of I have something

31:30 Speaker 8: to say, and these guys have something to play and

31:33 Speaker 8: it sounds great together. And I think we're at fifty

31:39 Speaker 8: plus we're relearning that we just love to play and

31:45 Speaker 8: we still have something to say, and we're not dead yet.

31:47 Speaker 8: And I think I told you, you know, I kind

31:49 Speaker 8: of coined it for myself. It's like there's an un

31:54 Speaker 8: young revolution that's going on that really didn't happen with

31:58 Speaker 8: the generation prior to to us. You know, they got

32:01 Speaker 8: to forty or fifty, and the thing was, now it's

32:04 Speaker 8: a sprint to retirement and relaxation and sitting on the

32:10 Speaker 8: front porch screaming, get off my lawn. Right, And that's

32:14 Speaker 8: that's not us.

32:15 Speaker 4: No, it's not even a thought in my head.

32:17 Speaker 5: Right, I've always thought, although this is something I've always

32:20 Speaker 5: thought my whole life. It's weird to me when people

32:22 Speaker 5: talk about, oh, I can't wait till I'm retired, you know,

32:27 Speaker 5: and just relax. It's like, really, you're looking forward to

32:29 Speaker 5: being old and not having any use anymore.

32:33 Speaker 8: I mean, I love the idea of relaxation. I mean,

32:35 Speaker 8: I'm a photographer, I mean musician, I work a full

32:37 Speaker 8: time job. I got a wife at all. Yeah, he's

32:40 Speaker 8: you know, pretty much two kids.

32:43 Speaker 16: Yeah.

32:43 Speaker 8: I mean, relaxation is nice, but I can't stay idle,

32:47 Speaker 8: no meaning I don't know many people our age that can't.

32:50 Speaker 9: No.

32:50 Speaker 8: No, yeah, especially in the art scene.

32:53 Speaker 5: Well, it's like I was saying to you, too. I've

32:55 Speaker 5: I've always felt that, you know, you can't help getting older,

32:59 Speaker 5: you can't help the past sage of time. But getting

33:01 Speaker 5: old is a choice.

33:02 Speaker 8: And we harkened to what was it clinicood, just don't

33:07 Speaker 8: let the old man.

33:08 Speaker 5: He's the first one I ever heard saying I think

33:09 Speaker 5: that's saying predates him, but probably yeah, yeah, but yeah,

33:12 Speaker 5: don't let the old man. And it might have been well,

33:15 Speaker 5: we know what happened, poor but uh but but yeah,

33:21 Speaker 5: And I think the Internet has a lot to do

33:23 Speaker 5: with it too, because you can, you know, you can

33:25 Speaker 5: be any age and put your music online and and

33:29 Speaker 5: people of any age might connect to it.

33:31 Speaker 4: And I actually think that has a lot to do

33:33 Speaker 4: with it because we have.

33:36 Speaker 8: An outlet, yeah, an easy outlet, an easily accessible outlet.

33:40 Speaker 4: Right right.

33:41 Speaker 5: There's no gatekeepers anymore. I mean in some in some

33:45 Speaker 5: ways there are, but but in terms of like you know,

33:49 Speaker 5: it's it's not like when we were growing up, where

33:51 Speaker 5: if you wanted to get your music out there, you know,

33:54 Speaker 5: you had to try to get signed to a label

33:56 Speaker 5: who would then you know, and all go and all

34:00 Speaker 5: of it, and now you know you can there really

34:03 Speaker 5: is no barrier of entry now whether or not people

34:06 Speaker 5: are gonna hear what you're doing. You know, that's that's

34:08 Speaker 5: a whole other thing. But but you can, you know,

34:11 Speaker 5: anybody can put their music online and you know, maybe

34:14 Speaker 5: it connects with somebody and maybe it means something to someone,

34:16 Speaker 5: and you know, it's it's it's a pretty amazing time

34:19 Speaker 5: to be alive.

34:19 Speaker 4: In that sense.

34:20 Speaker 8: Sure, it's a pretty amazing time to be alive.

34:23 Speaker 4: It's both both both good and bad.

34:27 Speaker 5: But one of the really good things is you know,

34:29 Speaker 5: like I don't I don't know that I would have

34:31 Speaker 5: It was, like I said earlier, had I not had

34:33 Speaker 5: a chance to do a quote unquote internet radio show,

34:35 Speaker 5: I don't know if I'd be sitting here right now, I.

34:37 Speaker 4: Probably probably wouldn't be.

34:40 Speaker 8: Absolutely so.

34:41 Speaker 4: No, so it is.

34:42 Speaker 5: It is an amazing time. Do you want to play

34:44 Speaker 5: an I'm dying here more? Do you want to play

34:45 Speaker 5: another one?

34:46 Speaker 8: I think I do?

34:47 Speaker 5: Okay, I hope you do, because that last song was amazing.

34:51 Speaker 5: If you're just joining us, Peter of the photographers here

34:53 Speaker 5: with us live in studio and uh sounding amazing.

35:01 Speaker 8: Uh so this song again is brand new, uh nice?

35:07 Speaker 8: And again it's it's kind of like writing in a journal,

35:13 Speaker 8: tearing the page out and throwing it onto a microphone.

35:18 Speaker 8: The song is called Florence, and it's actually about kind

35:24 Speaker 8: of a snapshot of a play on a snapshot of

35:29 Speaker 8: my wife and myself and and the way we support

35:34 Speaker 8: each other. It's my version, I guess, of a love song.

35:40 Speaker 8: But yeah, I'll stop me injuring. I have not played

35:44 Speaker 8: this for anyone except for a couple of musicians in

35:46 Speaker 8: a room. I'm not even sure it's finished yet, but

35:49 Speaker 8: I'm gonna. I'm gonna play it and see what happens.

35:51 Speaker 8: All Yeah, here we go. This song is called Florence

35:56 Speaker 8: for my wife.

36:11 Speaker 11: She cries when she hears the old religion, wrestles with

36:18 Speaker 11: her blankets while fighting with herself.

36:24 Speaker 8: She was never one for romance novels.

36:30 Speaker 15: She lies when she says that she needs nothing, no,

36:35 Speaker 15: nothing at all, and seeing I believe her, even when

36:44 Speaker 15: she cries herself to sleep.

39:47 Speaker 5: Yes, oh that sounds sounds done to me. You said

39:49 Speaker 5: you weren't sure those don it's a great song.

39:52 Speaker 8: I'm not sure about this part of this part, but

39:53 Speaker 8: we're gonna see how it's gonna go.

39:55 Speaker 4: I love it.

39:56 Speaker 5: I think it's great. I think it's great. I'm sure

39:57 Speaker 5: your your wife enjoys that song.

39:59 Speaker 4: I hope so.

40:01 Speaker 8: Actually it's it's called Florence, and there there are two

40:04 Speaker 8: specific references to her favorite artists and one of mine

40:08 Speaker 8: Florence in the Machines. Oh okay, so the very first

40:12 Speaker 8: line she cries when she hears the Old Religion. There's

40:15 Speaker 8: a song on the new album called the Old Religion

40:19 Speaker 8: one that she absolutely loves. The ending part of the

40:22 Speaker 8: chorus is I get all of this in heaven too,

40:26 Speaker 8: all of this in heaven two is is uh. I

40:31 Speaker 8: don't know if it's the name of the song. She's

40:32 Speaker 8: she's gonna yell at me when I get out of that,

40:35 Speaker 8: but it was the song that was the first dance

40:38 Speaker 8: song from our wedding. Ohkid, very call Florence brings out

40:43 Speaker 8: My wife is a very stoic woman. She's a very

40:45 Speaker 8: practical woman. She is a healthcare professional and just amazing

40:52 Speaker 8: at what she does. And because of what she does,

40:56 Speaker 8: she has to be a very strong, very skinned woman.

41:01 Speaker 4: Yeah.

41:01 Speaker 8: But oh man, you put on Florence and the hands

41:05 Speaker 8: go up, the spirit fingers. It just it's that thing

41:09 Speaker 8: that really pulls pulls her through that. Ok So, I

41:13 Speaker 8: thought naming a song after Florence was very appropriate for

41:17 Speaker 8: my wife.

41:17 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's very cool. That's very cool.

41:20 Speaker 5: How did you learn to sing? Because you've got such

41:22 Speaker 5: a great voice?

41:23 Speaker 8: Thank you?

41:23 Speaker 4: Are you?

41:24 Speaker 5: Are you self taught? Did you take lessons or.

41:25 Speaker 8: I am very self taught?

41:27 Speaker 4: Really?

41:28 Speaker 11: Yeah?

41:29 Speaker 8: Trial and error. I think singing for cover bands for

41:32 Speaker 8: a long time taught me a lot because when I

41:35 Speaker 8: first started was you know, we were doing a lot

41:38 Speaker 8: of like creed Stone, Tuble, Pilots, Pearl Jam, and there's

41:43 Speaker 8: such distinctive voices. Yeah, that it was always like when

41:51 Speaker 8: I heard a cover band, I wanted to hear them

41:55 Speaker 8: almost act as a tribute to these artists, okay, And

41:58 Speaker 8: so that's what I did, Yeah, and really just found

42:01 Speaker 8: where the voice goes. And in doing that, I learned

42:05 Speaker 8: what I can do with my own voice for myself, okay,

42:08 Speaker 8: which is actually it serves me because depending on the

42:12 Speaker 8: type of song that I'm writing, I can kind of

42:13 Speaker 8: put a different feel on it, much like the Ballot

42:16 Speaker 8: of twenty six which is completely different.

42:20 Speaker 5: Yeah.

42:21 Speaker 8: But yeah, trial and error. When I first started singing

42:23 Speaker 8: in my first band when I was fourteen, I actually

42:26 Speaker 8: still have a tape of that band. Thanks Hill buddy Tom.

42:29 Speaker 8: Actually I get to return.

42:30 Speaker 11: That to him.

42:33 Speaker 8: And the tape is dead, like you can barely hear anything,

42:37 Speaker 8: but you can hear that. I sounded like Kermit the

42:38 Speaker 8: Frog trying to do kind of eighties rock kind of stuff.

42:43 Speaker 4: Yeah, and just over the years.

42:44 Speaker 8: Just found what worked, found what didn't work, found what

42:47 Speaker 8: blew it out, found what didn't And yeah, completely self taught.

42:51 Speaker 5: Okay, I've heard other people say that too, that singing

42:54 Speaker 5: in a cover band is a great way to really Yeah, you.

42:57 Speaker 8: Build your stamina and figure out, you know, how many

43:00 Speaker 8: beers you can drink before it all goes to you

43:04 Speaker 8: know where it?

43:06 Speaker 5: Is there any particular cover song that you ever found

43:08 Speaker 5: especially challenging to pull off vocally?

43:12 Speaker 8: If I do, I won't. Oh yeah, well yeah I did.

43:15 Speaker 8: There is one and I do still pull it out.

43:18 Speaker 8: Possum Kingdom.

43:20 Speaker 4: Yeah.

43:20 Speaker 8: Yeah, don't ask me to do it right now. It

43:22 Speaker 8: is too early for that.

43:23 Speaker 10: Yeah.

43:23 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's hard. That's a hard one to say.

43:25 Speaker 8: Oh my good lord, it is. It is. That guy's

43:29 Speaker 8: voice is It's not high in the respect of like

43:33 Speaker 8: a Ronnie James dio, but it is powerful and piercing

43:38 Speaker 8: and at the top of a tenor register is just yeah,

43:44 Speaker 8: probably the most challenging cover I've ever done again, probably

43:51 Speaker 8: because I want to match, you know, with the style

43:53 Speaker 8: of what he was going for. Especially in that song.

43:56 Speaker 8: You have this almost control old maniacal feel to it,

44:03 Speaker 8: and it pulls an energy and it's hard to pull

44:06 Speaker 8: that energy with delivery, but hold back on overdoing it, right, Yeah, right, No,

44:12 Speaker 8: that makes sense.

44:13 Speaker 5: That makes sense. And then what about playing guitar? Are

44:15 Speaker 5: you self taught on guitar?

44:17 Speaker 16: Yeah?

44:17 Speaker 8: Okay, had my buddy Matt when I was fourteen, conned

44:23 Speaker 8: my mom into giving me forty bucks for she used

44:26 Speaker 8: acoustic that was on a sidewalk sale.

44:28 Speaker 4: Yeah, went home.

44:29 Speaker 8: He taught me every rose has its song baby Yeah,

44:39 Speaker 8: and those three cords or four chords, because there's a

44:42 Speaker 8: minor in the solo somewhere, but it started with those

44:45 Speaker 8: four chords and you couldn't stop me from there. It

44:48 Speaker 8: was any book that I could I could find in

44:50 Speaker 8: a used book bend and just kind of figure out

44:54 Speaker 8: what chords were. I think in totally I learned about

44:57 Speaker 8: twelve chords overall, and then learned how to use a

45:00 Speaker 8: KPO and those twelve chords or a chords or whatever

45:04 Speaker 8: it was. Yeah, kind of served me to this day.

45:07 Speaker 3: Yeah.

45:07 Speaker 8: Yeah, I slapped my fingers on the neck and if

45:11 Speaker 8: it sounds cool, I'm like, I'm gonna go with that.

45:13 Speaker 3: Right right.

45:14 Speaker 5: Did you in.

45:17 Speaker 4: The cover bands do you play also or do you

45:20 Speaker 4: just saying I play as well? Okay, yeah, okay, that's

45:23 Speaker 4: what I thought.

45:24 Speaker 8: Acoustic and electric?

45:25 Speaker 5: Yeah, And then so now, what's what's your current live situation?

45:28 Speaker 5: Like are you are you playing any shows as Peter

45:31 Speaker 5: the Photographer? So, because I know you're kind of waiting

45:34 Speaker 5: back into things.

45:35 Speaker 8: Yeah, So for the past couple of years, I do

45:37 Speaker 8: one show a month acoustic solo at the Strange Brew Tavern,

45:43 Speaker 8: and forgive me, I can actually tell you the next

45:46 Speaker 8: one I'm gonna be.

45:47 Speaker 4: Oh b all means yeah. Yeah.

45:49 Speaker 5: While you're looking that up, we should mention, of course,

45:50 Speaker 5: that Peter the Photographer is here with us live in studio.

45:55 Speaker 4: Sounded amazing, Well, I thank you, sir, absolutely so.

45:59 Speaker 8: Mark thirteenth, I am, as Peter the Photographer, going to

46:05 Speaker 8: be at the Strange Root Tavern from eight to eleven,

46:08 Speaker 8: and then on March fourteenth, Forever forty one, my cover

46:12 Speaker 8: band will be at the Dairy field.

46:14 Speaker 4: Oh, very good.

46:15 Speaker 8: Yeah. So two nighter back to back?

46:17 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. Is that tough on your voice or a

46:20 Speaker 4: little bit?

46:21 Speaker 8: Yeah, a little bit. Luckily with the acoustic stuff, I

46:23 Speaker 8: can kind of I've got a long list of songs

46:27 Speaker 8: that I play, so I can kind of you can

46:30 Speaker 8: carefully craft that so that it doesn't hurt too much.

46:33 Speaker 8: But I think at this point I'm strong enough that

46:36 Speaker 8: a two nighter doesn't completely kill me, although there is

46:39 Speaker 8: much harder stuff that I do with the cover band. Vocally, yeah,

46:43 Speaker 8: I can imagine you should come and see that.

46:44 Speaker 13: Though.

46:46 Speaker 8: It's a great time. The list literally is from We

46:53 Speaker 8: Built This City to Barbie Girl to grunge stuff. I mean,

46:59 Speaker 8: it's all over the map, but it's all fun. Yeah,

47:02 Speaker 8: it's all fun.

47:02 Speaker 4: Yeah.

47:03 Speaker 5: Why is it called Forever forty one?

47:05 Speaker 8: So so there's actually two singers in the band. It's

47:08 Speaker 8: myself and Jess Vaughn.

47:09 Speaker 4: Okay, oh, yes, I'm sorry.

47:12 Speaker 8: She actually asked me to tell you.

47:13 Speaker 5: She said he I'll be damn from Oh my God,

47:17 Speaker 5: I'm blanking on the name. Oh, she's gonna kill me

47:20 Speaker 5: me too, Because I've interviewed her a bunch of times

47:22 Speaker 5: over the years in that band and now I'm blanking

47:26 Speaker 5: on the name.

47:26 Speaker 8: Yeah, sorry, Jess, Sorry, sorry Jess.

47:30 Speaker 5: It'll it'll come to me when I'm not thinking about it.

47:33 Speaker 9: Yeah.

47:33 Speaker 8: So she sings in the band as well. Okay, now

47:37 Speaker 8: I got lost. I took a left turn and then

47:39 Speaker 8: got lost. Oh, Forever forty one. Yeah, so there was

47:45 Speaker 8: a store I think it was called Forever twenty one. Yes,

47:49 Speaker 8: and Jess kind of threw it. I think it'd be

47:52 Speaker 8: funny if we did Forever forty one.

47:54 Speaker 3: Yeah.

47:54 Speaker 8: We're not gonna get any older than forty one, that's it. Yeah,

47:58 Speaker 8: And it kind of lends it because if you're forty one,

48:01 Speaker 8: you're gonna know most of the songs that we do.

48:03 Speaker 4: Right, And so.

48:07 Speaker 8: It was a little bit silly, but it was like, yeah,

48:09 Speaker 8: that that works. Yeah, I'll be forever forty one.

48:11 Speaker 5: There.

48:12 Speaker 8: That wasn't the worst.

48:13 Speaker 4: No, no, this is a good edge. Is she still

48:17 Speaker 4: in that other band than?

48:18 Speaker 9: Oh?

48:18 Speaker 4: Wait? Complex?

48:20 Speaker 5: Something simple? Complex, a simple complex? Thank you?

48:23 Speaker 4: Yes? Is she still in that band?

48:25 Speaker 8: Oh?

48:25 Speaker 4: Okay? Are they done that?

48:28 Speaker 16: I don't know?

48:28 Speaker 5: Okay, okay, yeah, because she wasn't the original like that,

48:32 Speaker 5: they had a dude and then she joined and really,

48:35 Speaker 5: I mean they were really really a good band.

48:37 Speaker 8: Jess is incredible. Yeah, yeah, it's incredible getting to not

48:41 Speaker 8: only share a stage, but you know, once a week

48:43 Speaker 8: getting together at the jam space. Yeah, she's she's a

48:47 Speaker 8: great soul. Yeah, she's a great humane, great performer. I'm

48:53 Speaker 8: pretty confident in my abilities, but I don't know why

48:57 Speaker 8: they let me sing after here her. Yeah you know,

49:01 Speaker 8: I say that with with a little humbleness.

49:05 Speaker 5: Yeah, So as how does that work? Do you kind

49:07 Speaker 5: of split up the vocals like she summon yep, and

49:10 Speaker 5: we built the city? You probably do together? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we.

49:13 Speaker 8: Have a couple of duets. Can't think of any besides

49:16 Speaker 8: that one off the top of my head. But she's

49:17 Speaker 8: got her songs, and I'll stay back and either play

49:20 Speaker 8: guitar and do backup vocals or just backup vocals and

49:23 Speaker 8: do my best to sing things that maybe other people

49:27 Speaker 8: won't pick up, but she will because she's got her

49:29 Speaker 8: in her in so I can mess with her.

49:31 Speaker 5: Yeah while she's doing her things. Oh that's funny. That's funny. Well, Jess,

49:36 Speaker 5: hello if you are listening, and yeah, yeah, it's been

49:39 Speaker 5: a it's been a few years since I've seen.

49:42 Speaker 4: Her, but no, that's very cool. That's very cool. Well

49:45 Speaker 4: we are.

49:45 Speaker 5: We are rapidly running out of time. But Peter, this

49:48 Speaker 5: has been amazing. I love this and let's not let
