Exploring Nashville's Music Legacy: Dave Lenahan's Journey Through Songwriting and Radio in Music City

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Taking a Walk Nashtille.

00:00:02
Speaker 2: Hi, this is Sarah Harrelson, your host of Taking a Walk Nashville, and today I am here with songwriter, artists, podcast and radio host Dave Lenahan. We're here in his home in Hermitage, right outside of Nashville. And for listeners who don't know and Hermitage visitors can also find the home of President Andrew Jackson, our seventh President of the United States. So a lot of history here, but I'm excited to share with listeners Dave's story today. Dave Lenahan, He's originally from Cleveland, Ohio, the birthplace of rock and roll, and he's a lifelong musician and radio veteran of over forty years, working at different stations in different formats in Ohio, including B one oh five and Cincinnati, a station that's a six time winner of the CMA Awards for Large Market Station of the Year. And through radio he has met and interviewed many different country legends and then proceeded to move to Nashville in the twenty three where you now write with several independent artists. You've earned over a million Spotify streams.

00:01:06
Speaker 3: Wow.

00:01:07
Speaker 2: And in addition to songwriting, Dave, you're the host of the popular podcast Songwriter Connection and the host of Nashville Connection radio show every Friday morning on w n OI and Illinois.

00:01:21
Speaker 4: I believe yes it is.

00:01:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Dave, there's a lot for us to discuss today.

00:01:25
Speaker 3: I'm so tired. Do I do all that?

00:01:29
Speaker 5: Wow? Crazy?

00:01:30
Speaker 3: Well?

00:01:31
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me in your home today.

00:01:32
Speaker 5: How are you for coming to my home dinner? If you me it's crazy, I'm so honored.

00:01:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm excited to be here.

00:01:39
Speaker 2: And you know, songwriting performing wasn't just something you decided to do one day. It seems you're always performing music, playing with the band.

00:01:48
Speaker 4: While you were a radio host.

00:01:51
Speaker 2: Did you have a love for both being a broadcaster.

00:01:55
Speaker 4: And performer or did one come before the other.

00:01:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, As a matter of fact, there were there were probably ten years in there where I didn't even pick up a guitar because I was so focused on the radio career and trying to make it there as I was helping. I was too busy being a radio star.

00:02:13
Speaker 3: But it was always there, you know, it was always in my heart.

00:02:17
Speaker 5: Got my first guitar when I was eleven, and my brother and I got them for Christmas, and he was a couple of years younger than me, and he picked up right away. He was the kind of guy they could hear it on the radio and then just play it, you know, without even taking lessons. So we played a lot together. We played in church, and then when I was in radio for a while too, it was in a really good worship band in Cincinnati.

00:02:42
Speaker 2: Wow.

00:02:42
Speaker 5: In fact, the bass player in that band is now Taylor Swift's bass player. Oh wow, names Haller. Great guy.

00:02:50
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:02:51
Speaker 5: So anyway, it's been a neat journey.

00:02:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like it.

00:02:55
Speaker 2: And I love how in your biography mentions your career radio is always under your real name, because you know, so many radio hosts have a different name from what they go by. So that was interesting and it just seems very authentic for you.

00:03:10
Speaker 5: And that was that was it, And it was a conscious decision. I didn't I thought about being authentic, you know. And it's the same in country music today. I mean, people can see right through if it's not authentic. So I always wanted to be myself. I don't know it was the greatest strategy in the world. But I didn't have to play a character on the right, you just that was just me. So I hope that worked. Yeah.

00:03:31
Speaker 2: So when you were playing with your band in Ohio, did people see you and be like, oh, that's also the radio host of that station.

00:03:40
Speaker 5: Sometimes Yeah, I have a minor celebrity in our church. That's kind of cool, eh, you know. But the nice thing about radio is people don't see your face, so they don't recognize you a lot.

00:03:51
Speaker 2: That's true, but yeah, I'm sure they recognize your voice when you were talking. Now, when you were in Cincinnati, you also became the chapter anader for NSAI, which is the Nashville Songwriters Association International. It's a wonderful organization for songwriters. How did you get involved with them?

00:04:10
Speaker 5: And that's eventually what brought me here. I was working for a station called ninety six five in Cincinnati, where I did afternoon drive, and one day got a call from an SAI and they had a huge chapter in Cincinnati and Dayton Wow, and they said, would you mind come and we want to talk about how songs are added to playlists and how they chart things like that. I said, well, let me bring my program director and we'll come. And I went to the meeting and there were sixty people in this room, maybe more and they were all songwriters, and I'm like, oh my god, you guys all write songs because I was writing songs when I was a kid, you know. And I just fell in love with these people. We were like kindred spirits. And I started going to the meetings and becoming a part of it and really getting into songwriting again, and eventually became one of the coordinators. And it was an honor to do that. And through that we were coming down to Nashville and writing a lot and meeting new people, but for different reasons. Wasn't through rating anymore. It was for songwriting and it was so cool, and we just knew eventually we were going to end up here, and here we are, you know.

00:05:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's great they do chapters to support songwriters who maybe aren't able to make it to Nashville right now, but they're still living their dreams, you know, wherever they's from.

00:05:29
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, And I tell folks on my podcast, join at, I say I if you're into it, and if there isn't a chapter, well start one. Get a bunch of like minded people who love music and love to write. Start meeting every week. If it's just once a month, build your own group, challenge each other, come up with song prompts, critique each other's music.

00:05:48
Speaker 3: You know, that's what it's all about.

00:05:51
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:05:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're such a great resource for songwriters. And I want to talk about your upcoming project. It's really interesting because you're currently preparing to release a new album, Absolom, a concept driven project inspired by a forgotten Tennessee cemetery that you helped uncover and preserve. Now you've released a few singles from this project already, and with help from historical researchers and songwriters, you uncovered seventy graves, which is really actually.

00:06:22
Speaker 5: Now, They're Historical Society in their latest email to me say they believe there's between seventy.

00:06:28
Speaker 3: And one hundred graves there. Oh my godness, that's something.

00:06:30
Speaker 2: What made you want to do this project?

00:06:35
Speaker 5: This is the craziest story and the craziest thing I've ever been involved with. It really is. I mean, I was going for walks around this neighborhood and right leave and Hermitage, Like you said, this is where Andrew Jackson was, you know, yeah, and I had thought and I thought I heard somewhere red. I always believed that all of this used to be owned by Andrew Jackson, but I found out it wasn't the case. When I discovered the cemetery, there was a new you know, if at the end of our road here to the grove, there was a huge wooded area. It was just wild and one day they started plowing it and next thing I know, they're building homes and you know, in this area. And so one day I went for a walk and I'm going through where the new homes were, and I cut through this empty lot and on the right I see this sign. It it's all beat up and bent. It looked like a mud thrown on it or whatever, and it said Absolute Gleaves Cemetery. And I go, what the heck is that? Because it was all woods and it was all I go, oh, it's we're crazy. So, you know, my walks every now and then, i'd go through it, and every time I was like a little you know, it's just something in your mind is very curious about it. And so one day, because I couldn't remember that Absolute was the name, I was really familiar with the absolutlying what's it was?

00:07:48
Speaker 3: It is like two families, where's the cemetery? The sign looked like it was pointing somewhere I didn't know. So one day I took a picture of the sign.

00:07:55
Speaker 5: I went home and I googled it. It came up Absom Leaves that he was a county magistrate, and I said, well, where is this cemetery? So it was like October and leaves are falling now, you know, late October, and I go over there and I said, I don't want to figure out where this is. And as I walk to where I saw this sign, I could see this little obelisk like pointing out from under the trees, and I.

00:08:20
Speaker 3: Go, it's right here, it's behind this sign.

00:08:23
Speaker 4: Wow.

00:08:24
Speaker 5: And it was all overgrown. I mean, there was honeycyuckle up over my head. There was trees, and so I dug my way back there and it's beautiful obelisk standing up and there was a little stone and it said absolute Leaves departed life in eighteen thirty four, and I went, wow, this is Anna Bellin. It's really on my interest some switter history. And I walked on the other side and it said Catherine Leaves eighteen sixty six. It was his wife, and I thought, what in the world. So I went back that evening with a saw ont of prerooming shears, and I just started cutting my way all around there. And I went back home that night and I googled them again and I come up there was this whole Gleaves cemetery site. And as it turns out that Gleaves family were very prominent in this area. They were contemporaries of Andrew Jackson. Appslom actually fought with Andrew in the War of eighteen twelve. Abslince's father fought in the Civil War. And then they came west, go west, young man right, and they acquired a lot of property in this area. In fact, there are a bunch of different Gleaves cemeteries. I just happened to stumble across absoluence, and so I made it my project to clear it. And I reached out to them through that website, and I found a descendant, a guy named Owen Gleaves, and we became really dear friends. He said, when I was a kid, I used to maintain that cemetery of some tool. Now and you know, I have some health issues, he said, but you have my permission, you have the family's permission to start clearing it. So I'm remember a few sleepless nights going how am I going to do this? This is a lot of work. I mean, trees had fallen down, you know. We had her a tornado through here, and and Owen said to me, if you can make it back to the old oak tree, Mary Wolford's buried there, I go, Who's she? He goes, We don't know. So that was my first path I cut. I spent an afternoon cut all the way back. There's this old oak tree. We think it's about Arbust tells us it could be seventy years old, so it's like a witness tree. It was there when Absolom basket wow. And it was all on Absolom's property, you know, all of this. He owned this property where I live today. So I made it back to Mary Wolford and it just I started climbing down that rabbit hole. I found on the website that there was somebody named Aunt Nancy buried there. Again, what the connection is to the family, I don't know. My friend Loretta found her her gravesite, just walking through, I mean, you know, chopping her way through, and she gets to this tree and and another she had fallen over and had broken her stone in three places just and all I could do was reach in there with my phone and take a picture, and I bowled it back out and went Mary Wolford and I went, all right, you found Mary Wilford's berger. I knew she was here. And as we were clearing, we would step on a stone, and we'd step on a stone, and these were great markers.

00:11:22
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:11:22
Speaker 5: No, So eventually let me got the Historical Society out there. Owen and I and a few other songwriter friends like Joe Bizzelli would come out and just spend an afternoon clearing and cutting trees down and you know, getting to the bottom of it. The Historical Society came out a couple of different times. They helped me put so much a bit together. And what we found out is Absolom was the county magistrate in this area in the eighteen twenties and thirties, which which is kind of the justice of the peace. You know, some people would come to him to get married, to settle disputes and things like that. And they said that being the person that he was, probably a lot of people would come to him, you know, with problems, and so and so died and he goes, well, I've got a cemetery. You can just bury him right here, you know, And that's probably what happens. They tell us that between seventy and one hundred people are buried there in this small area fifty two by eighty two area.

00:12:13
Speaker 2: Wow.

00:12:14
Speaker 5: And so I still go by there every day and pay my respects and take a look. It's just hard to It just grows up stuff around. It grows up so fast. But here's the really interesting story. I couldn't figure out. These are the are These are very God fearing people, you know, Baptist, strict Baptist. And how we know this is the circles? I sis. You notice all these graves are facing east, and there's a reason for that. I got, Really, what is that he goes because that's where Jesus is supposed to rise when he comes back. So always bury their people facing east. So that was a big clue. But I couldn't figure out if you were God fearing people, why would you name your child Absolom, who was a bad guy in the Bible. If you read the Bible, Absolom was David's son. He raised an army to try to kill his dad and take it over and died a horrible death. So I figured out, why would you name your son Absolum? And so I googled it and here's what they found out. And this is fascinating to me. They felt they loved religious names, they loved biblical names, and but so you start running out, you know. So they loved the story behind the name more than the story of the person in the Bible. And so if you look at the name Absolom, and it didn't hit me until I read this. Absolom means Abbah, his father, and Shalom is peace, so his name meant father of peace, and he was the justice of the peace in this area. It just blew me away.

00:13:52
Speaker 4: Wow.

00:13:53
Speaker 5: So that became the second song, Father of Piece that we released, and that was ritten by Jessica Nixon and myself.

00:13:58
Speaker 2: Okay, so is each song on the album about a different person that you uncovered from the cemetery?

00:14:06
Speaker 5: No?

00:14:07
Speaker 3: No, from there.

00:14:08
Speaker 5: I just started recording songs that you know, I write a lot of songs, and I got a lot of indie cuts, but not a lot of major cuts, you know, So I thought somebody needs to record these, so I started recording them on my own, and so the rest of these songs, we did two here in Nashville with Cedric Israel, who did a wonderful drop. In fact, you know, he produced Father of Peace and Abslon and he brought Joe Spivey in from the Time Jumpers to play violin fiddle on Appslom and just turned out so great. And so he did the next one. It was fantastic, and then long Coats. My friend Alan Sanderson, his wife and I write a lot of songs for Namis Tylan Ray. She's a great singer. And he is a Grammy Award winning engineer and producer in San Diego. And this guy has worked with everybody from Elton John and Michael Jackson. His stories are amazing. In fact, we did a podcast with him. We tell all these great stories and just for the heck of it. One day, Alan, you got your own studio in San Diego. It's called Pacific Beat. It's really cool. It's just a few blocks up from the beach. I said, well, would you be interested in recording some of my songs? And love to have you if you my producer. He goes, dude, I will put together a great man. You come out to San Diego. We're recorded out there, and that's exactly what we did. So the next four songs we recorded out there and they had nothing really to do with it absolom, but they were just fun songs, you know, Like I always wanted to do my version of Baby I'm Gone. That was my big cut. Chancey Williams cut that and was cut by a four other artists, and then finally my own version that I recorded in San Diego, So that was one of the first that we cut, and we did a video and that was so fun. And the one out there right now is called Diane's Barstool. We shot the video recently at Betty Luz not too far from here, is one of my favorite bars, and just had a blast on it.

00:15:52
Speaker 3: So you know what I'm you know, I tell people say how you doing, I.

00:15:56
Speaker 5: Say, I'm living the dream. I always wanted to do this right here, and the podcast is my mix of my two loves of broadcasting, specially interviewing people and songwriting. So I'm just doing everything I love and I'm staying real busy. So Mark Allen Barnett coined this term retire up.

00:16:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I feel like I did.

00:16:16
Speaker 5: I'd be tired up.

00:16:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have so much going on.

00:16:20
Speaker 2: I'm really excited for this album.

00:16:22
Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more of the Taking a Walk Nashville podcast. Welcome back to Taking a Walk Nashville.

00:16:34
Speaker 2: Country music is all about the storytelling, and you certainly did this by uncovering graves in a cemetery. Do you have a projected release date for this album?

00:16:44
Speaker 5: You know, I don't right now because I'm with I sang this little India label and this wonderful publicist named Jill Pavel, and she's just been wonderful in getting the word out about my songs and also my podcast. She's just been just wonderful. And so we've been doing a lot of strategizing and I've been still recording, so we're thinking about a new concept. Maybe it won't even be called absolute. You know, things changed so fast in the industry, right. So We've got a couple of new songs that we've recorded that I'm really anxious for people to hear. One is called Wildflowers that we wrote with Cayrie Phillips and turned out so good, so you know, we may extend it a little bit, but we were hoping for a January release. There's one more song from San Diego that we've got to release. It's called First, and that was just This past year was just nuts for me. I just cannot begin to tell you good and bad roller coaster in February is when we went out to San Diego to record. But also in February, I lost my mother, you know, and she had been sick with Alzheimer's and her cancer came back, and it was so hard on my dad. You know, he was the main caregiver, and God bless I love him so much. My dad just turned ninety and he did everything for us, you know, and I would feel guilty not, you know, being so far away up in Ohio. They're up in Ohio, and one day I was visiting and we had this really heart to heart talk, you know, about life and everything. And the song that came out of it was First, which is going to be released in January, and it's kind of sad listen with Kleenex. And so I came out of that conversation again Jessica and Nixon an amazing songwriter. I helped writing that. As a matter of fact, she sings background that and a las Yeah.

00:18:33
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, we're looking forward to hearing your new single from that. I'm not sure if you've done this already or I thought about this. Maybe you should even record music video or music performance in that cemeteryya, I think.

00:18:46
Speaker 5: That would be Well, it's actually we did. The absolute video is out there. Okay, check it out on my YouTube page. Just google it and it'll come up. But my friend who's documentary filmmaker, Martin Buchanan, now has them three of my videos, and that was the first one. And we actually went into that cemetery. Well, I'll tell at one point he took a little drone and he went went up over the sign and down into the cemetery and you can see all the graves and it's check it out. And oh and by the way, Owen Gleaves he was my dear friend who also he died like a week after my mother and I missed him so much.

00:19:20
Speaker 3: He he.

00:19:22
Speaker 5: As I was clearing the cemetery and I was doing eighteen thirty four style, I'm chopping it by hand, and all these couplets started coming into my head. You know, his family owned this property, you know, from Wilson County to the stone. All these rhyming cup I must have add about twenty e one and I just record them in my phone and I couldn't figure out how to attach them all, you know, I you know, we're looking for a good and one day Owen meets me at the cemetery. He pulls up in his truck into the field. He hops out of that truck, does a little jigging, and he goes, absolute absolute what you doing in that ground? And my eyes opened up and I'm going, what did you just sing? Do it again? And he did, That's exactly what I'm looking for, Owen, and that became the chorus of the song. Well, absolum apps on what you're doing in that ground. So on the very beginning of that cemetery you will see the marker apps and leaves departed light. You'll see that, and then all of a sudden we switched to oh and go in apslum apps what you're doing in that ground?

00:20:20
Speaker 4: So that's amazing.

00:20:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that you got the idea for it when you were in the actual cemetery.

00:20:26
Speaker 4: So definitely check out the music video.

00:20:28
Speaker 2: Is there a place where people can read through everything you've uncovered from the cemetery?

00:20:35
Speaker 4: Is that an ongoing.

00:20:36
Speaker 5: Project, so it's it's just an ongoing project. There are websites for Gleab Cemetery and if you if you look go up, you can find the Absloum Gleave Cemetery. I'll tell you where it is and everything. So I can get back out there do some clearing well curring. You know, we had all summer's worth a growth.

00:20:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's wonderful.

00:20:53
Speaker 2: And you know, you think you know Tennessee right in the middle of the Civil War, there's got to be so many cemetery just in Tennessee in general with on March Grave.

00:21:03
Speaker 5: So yeah, I had learned my Buddiesho just lived here for a while and I was telling me about your Yeah, you'll find cemeteries here, as if it was nothing, And I went, well, but I found this one. Yeah, this one I'm I'm going to take care of. So yeah, I'm sure there are a lot. But you were so cool about I mean, he died before the Civil War, but his wife lived through it, Wow, right through the whole thing. So I just I just fell down the rabbit hole. I could read everything I could you know about that family and about about head rejection too, So it's very interesting.

00:21:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure there's so much history in there, good and bad. Yeah, definitely a lot of good and bad history intertwined there. In addition to this and your own music, you know, you've got your podcast Songwriter Connection going on at the same time. It drops weekly with Nashville songwriter Guest.

00:21:50
Speaker 4: I even got to be a Bowers women.

00:21:53
Speaker 2: Behind the lyrics.

00:21:54
Speaker 4: People can hear that episode.

00:21:56
Speaker 5: It was so great to have you, which I love what you're doing with that and Judy and.

00:22:01
Speaker 4: And Delaines de Lainey Gus.

00:22:04
Speaker 3: I love her voice.

00:22:05
Speaker 5: You guys are awesome together. I'm so excited for that project to get released.

00:22:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited for it to come out to next year. And you know your own podcast, you've interviewed hundreds of songwriters on it. How did you even come up with the idea for this podcast?

00:22:20
Speaker 3: No, it's cool.

00:22:21
Speaker 5: I got it was during COVID and I got a call from the guy who should do traffic on my radio show in Cincinnati. And I love him as Lenna Harvey, we used to have a blast on the radio. And he calls me out of the blue and he goes, hey, man, would you come and be on my podcast? I go, you've got a podcast, Land, he is, yeah, man, we'll just do it's a zoom thing and and uh it's it will have fun, just like the old days. And they went interesting. I said, I'll tell you what, Land, I will do it on one condition.

00:22:49
Speaker 3: It's what's that I see?

00:22:50
Speaker 5: You tell me everything you know about podcasts, because I have this idea of I want to do one about songwriting. And it's just started right there. And I started doing my research. I was up late nights, wasn't sleeping much. I had this thing called polymyelgia, which affects all your joints and the only recure is through predna zone, a big dose of preadda zone. The problem with the preadoism Have you ever had any kind of that steroid kind of things? You don't sleep very well, you know, you're just antsy. So I'd use that time to just research podcast break everything I could about it, you know, find a host, the whole thing, you know, and what kind of equipment are you gonna use? And I just took four or five months doing nothing but that, And then, of course you know how it goes. You start, Okay, we're gonna are we doing it? I guess we're doing this, so you start lining up people that you that you think would make good guess in. My first guest was Billy Lee. He wrote Gary Allen's big hit, The One, and has been a dear friend for a long time. I said, we're gonna use you as a guinea pig, and that was the first episode and then we were off and running and it's just been a blast, and we're to the point now we're almost a three million as we record this, we're almost a three million streams.

00:24:03
Speaker 4: Wow, that's amazing.

00:24:04
Speaker 5: We're about to do our second live one in front of a live audience at the local and day drinking, early evening drinking. Yeah, and it'll be a blast. We're gonna have Randy Brooks. Randy Brooks wrote Cramwell got run over by Ery. You hear it every Christmas? Right, You're about nor by Heart and we're going to get the story behind that song and any others so nice.

00:24:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be a great episode.

00:24:27
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:24:27
Speaker 2: There's hundreds of episodes for people to dive in on your podcast on Writer Connection, so people can check out that in addition to your own music and upcoming album Absolum Dave. I always like to ask this on my podcast. Since it's called taking a walk Nashville, I think I might already know the answer. But do you have a favorite place to take a walk in Nashville? Is it the Absolum Cemetery?

00:24:54
Speaker 3: It is really is? Yeah, Hello, I'll walk there. Yeah, very cool.

00:25:00
Speaker 2: Is it open to the public now because people walk through it, they'll find it.

00:25:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's in the back of this field, one of the only empty fields left in the Hermitage area. And it's at the very back of that field.

00:25:14
Speaker 4: Wow.

00:25:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll see the sign.

00:25:16
Speaker 2: So are these unmarked gravestones are they being populated with names?

00:25:24
Speaker 4: Now? Are you keeping them as they are?

00:25:26
Speaker 5: We're keeping them as and there's just no way to tell who's who. The ones that are marked are absolute and Catherine Mary Wolford underneath the tree to the right. We repaired that sign. It's you can see that it's been gluted three but it stands about this tall now, uh. And then Mary Wolford under the tree. And we just left that stone leaning up against the tree as we found it.

00:25:48
Speaker 4: Wow.

00:25:49
Speaker 5: So but yeah, you can walk through it. And like I say, there's some more growth. I got to get up there.

00:25:55
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:25:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, we also wanted to talk about though I'm sorrying how what crazy year it was. So also in February, I'm getting off the plane from San Diego and I get a call from my friend Shantel Ogden. She's a sink supervisor and a great songwriter and a great emo shan I do, yeah, She said, give me a call when you get a chance. So the next morning I texted her. I say, you're good for a call. Boom calls and we caught up. Because I didn't talked her for a while, I thought, you know, we had once she'd been on the podcast. I don't even she wanted to be on the podcast again.

00:26:28
Speaker 3: She has no.

00:26:28
Speaker 5: I don't know if you know this, but I've been a sink agent for so long and I'm thinking I can write these movies. So I wrote a Hallmark kind of movie for Christmas called Music City missilete And.

00:26:36
Speaker 3: I said, that's great.

00:26:37
Speaker 5: Shantell, She says, I think I got a part for you. I go meet, did you ever do any accurate? I said, yeah, but it's been a long time. She goes, well, I'm gonna send you a script. You just read this into the phone and we'll let you know like, okay, so I did, and Son of Again I got the part. So that movie launches tomorrow as we record this, and it'll be available to rental by I believe it's Amazon in Apple Plus, and I think eventually it's going to be on the Faith and Family Network.

00:27:09
Speaker 2: So very cool, congrat.

00:27:11
Speaker 5: I mean it was such a stretch. I got to play a songwriter guy named Tom Martin. Now, the difference between Tom Martin and me, Thom has had a lot of number ones and Grammy at least one Grammy, which I am because you know, if I did, I'd be sitting right there that Grammy right there under my lava lamp. So but anyway, no, and so that was a blast.

00:27:32
Speaker 3: So it's been a did I tell you it's been a crazy year.
