00:01:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, except we decided to invite ourselves to his place to do it. This show is basically we went to his apartment and to just be in his world that he does his streams from. And I was just got to sit there and be part of it. And we made all these songs on the spot, and I had no idea what we're going to do till we got there, and it was a blast.

00:04:49
Speaker 7: Were you really? Yeah? I didn't know that existed, did you. That's pretty cool.

00:04:53
Speaker 1: So you went to the same high school we went. Yeah, much later than me.

00:05:00
Speaker 7: I don't know about that.

00:05:00
Speaker 10: But I'm when we talked about this, I'm getting up in age. I'm sixty five years old, feeling good. No, but yeah I was.

00:05:11
Speaker 7: I was in theater. Actually I wasn't in music.

00:05:12
Speaker 3: Are you serious?

00:05:13
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:05:13

00:05:24
Speaker 7: Okay.

00:05:25
Speaker 4: Well I played a piano in school and oh cool synthesizer.

00:05:30
Speaker 7: That's so cool.

00:05:31
Speaker 1: It was so cool.

00:05:32
Speaker 10: Actually, they would never have a synthesizer crew in school.

00:05:36
Speaker 7: Now, I feel like, you.

00:05:37
Speaker 4: Know, I wonder it was still a little bit left over from the teachers being like synth geeks from.

00:05:42
Speaker 7: The eighties, all right, yeah, yeah, a good way. Yeah.

00:05:45
Speaker 4: And they had all these synthesizers and everybody would we would write songs and we actually they would record them in the band room.

00:05:53
Speaker 1: Oh wow, put out a tape. There's a tape somewhere.

00:05:55
Speaker 7: Really.

00:05:56
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:05:57
Speaker 4: It was like the last song I wrote, yeah for a while, because the teacher said it sounded like Yanni, which I just kind.

00:06:04
Speaker 1: Of went right.

00:06:07
Speaker 7: Vibes it's true dreamy sort of since escape.

00:06:42
Speaker 10: I came here for two years and sort of worked, you know, jobs, trying to make the music thing work very unsuccessfully, and then went back to Dallas to help take care of my dad. He was sick, and that's when I started. I lost a job there and started playing at bars and restaurants in Dallas at Twilight Lounge and Deep Elum and uh some other places. And then I moved back here once I you know, garnered like a local following there, moved back here to try and take it to a bigger place.

00:07:18

00:17:43
Speaker 7: This is so fun, Like it just happens immediately.

00:17:45
Speaker 3: How do you?

00:17:47
Speaker 7: I have so many questions, That's what I'm here for. Ask away.

00:17:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, so when did you start looping in Dallas when you moved back or did you already been into.

00:17:56
Speaker 1: That kind of thing?

00:17:57
Speaker 23: No?

00:17:57
Speaker 10: I started right when I went back to Dallas. I I Reggie Watts.

00:18:04
Speaker 7: Is what kicked it off for me.

00:18:05
Speaker 1: Get that.

00:18:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's just the dude.

00:18:07
Speaker 10: He's the legend, the og improvised Lupert And yeah, I saw him while I was living here.

00:18:14
Speaker 1: Oh you saw him live?

00:18:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, and he blew.

00:18:20
Speaker 10: He completely blew my mind, you know, just and then I sort of watched more of him and discovered that all that he just makes it all up, And that was just so intensely beautiful to me. And I sort of just hoped that if, you know, if I ever did anything musical, that maybe I could sort of do something in that way you know that was all made up. That just seemed really appealing. I had been trying to make music just as sort of a bedroom producer for years, you know, trying to make beats for people and stuff and oh yeah, that didn't work out at all. Never made a sent doing that. So yeah, anyway, when I'm back to Dallas, I got one of these. I got one of these RC five O five's. It's the only hardware Looper that is made for fingers and not feet.

00:19:10
Speaker 7: Oh you know every other.

00:19:11
Speaker 1: Loopero playing guitar.

00:19:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're exactly.

00:19:16
Speaker 10: So I think they made this originally for like beat boxers. I think, I want to say something like that. A lot of beat boxers use it, but I got one just because it was not because you use it with your hands and it's more designed for the hands, which I don't know why that appealed to me, but it did. And I just sort of figured it out in Dallas, played around with it, and then slowly started making little videos using it, and.

00:19:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was it.

00:19:41
Speaker 4: It's pretty cool because you make everything up on the spot. And it reminded me of how people talk about improv comedy.

00:19:50
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yes and yes, yes.

00:19:54
Speaker 1: Yes exactly.

00:19:56
Speaker 4: So that makes sense now that you were in theater, are you into improv?

00:20:02
Speaker 7: I haven't even actually thought about that. Were you right?

00:20:05
Speaker 1: Were you deep in Shakespeare or were you doing any improv?

00:20:08
Speaker 7: I was pretty into improv.

00:20:09
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I was mostly doing uh, just sort of standard stage stuff, you know, I would do you know, I did like The Crucible and Inherit the Wind and these kinds of like right of passage, you know, school theater stuff. But it was always I mean, I was always much more interested in like comedy leaning things, I suppose, and maybe better at it arguably, you know, I think I just was more inclined and better suited for that sort of stuff. And so, yeah, like you say, it's really no surprise that this is kind of where it ended up.

00:20:47
Speaker 4: I guess it's making more sense to me.

00:20:50
Speaker 10: Yeah, I never thought about that, but you're absolutely right. Yeah, yeah, that's bizarre. It's weird how things just sort of wind around and work themselves out in that way, isn't it. I mean, I guess if it takes work, of course, but like somehow things just always end up like figuring themselves out in a way that makes sense in relation to who you.

00:21:14
Speaker 7: Are, you know, in a way you find yourself. Yeah right, I guess, yeah, yeah, hopefully, Yeah that's the hope. I guess.

00:21:24
Speaker 1: Are you Are you the only musician in your family?

00:21:27
Speaker 7: I am, really yeah, only one.

00:21:29
Speaker 10: Yeah, which is a disadvantage, you know, it just is it's Yeah, I feel like I'm.

00:21:36
Speaker 7: Not you know, I I've.

00:21:39
Speaker 10: Always felt as soon as I got into this, I felt that I am a little bit of imposter syndrome because so many people who I look up to in music and people who I've been lucky enough to play with, you know, a lot of them come from this deep musical family. And what I would have given. I mean, I loved my childhood. I love my parents, but you know, and they were always playing records around me.

00:22:07
Speaker 4: So they had good musical taste. Musical taste that's all you need.

00:22:11
Speaker 10: Yeah, I guess so to develop a beer you know, totally. Yeah, that's probably true, I think so. You know, it would have been nice to spend time in studios as a kid and stuff.

00:22:18
Speaker 7: But I just it just wasn't my childhood.

00:22:20
Speaker 4: I feel like it's not most people's child That's probably true.

00:22:23
Speaker 1: It wasn't my child Yeah, no, oh that's nice.

00:22:26
Speaker 7: Well how did you What was your childhood like musically?

00:22:30
Speaker 4: Well, I was always enrolled in piano. I started a piano when I was seven, and but mostly I sing in church choirs. That was my reeling because I had a natural singing voice. Yeah, and so I was in church choir since I was five.

00:22:43
Speaker 7: Oh wow, that's like the Aretha Franklin thing.

00:22:45
Speaker 1: Except very different kind of church. But it was it was still good. It was great.

00:22:50
Speaker 4: And yeah, but and then school choirs and then band. Right then I grew up in Grapevine.

00:22:58
Speaker 10: Oh, no way, yeah, Gravevie. I know that's out there.

00:23:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was. It was all I knew. It was fine, and yeah it was a marching band. And then in tenth grade I wanted to go to Booker t Yeah, for high school, so we moved to Dallas.

00:23:12
Speaker 8: Then.

00:23:12
Speaker 7: Oh so you had freshman year in another high school.

00:23:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, in marching band, right.

00:23:17
Speaker 7: Right.

00:23:17
Speaker 1: So so what part of Dallas did you grow up in.

00:23:21
Speaker 10: I grew up sort of all over. I was born in Greenway. Park's sort of a little fancy little collection of houses that are built on these greenways. They're all all the houses in this neighborhood are built on like these public sort of greenway parks. Nice, and there's kind of nice, bucolic, little family, you know area in Dallas. Yeah, it's like sort of nestled. I can't remember if it's I think it's like just a little north of Highland Park. It's right off the toll way. So I grew up there. But then I lived, I mean all over the place. We lived in Uptown, we lived in East Dallas, I lived in North Dallas, all over the place.

00:24:05
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love that city, you do, Yeah, yeah, I do.

00:24:09
Speaker 10: I have a lot of just I mean, my whole childhood is there, you know, I have all the every time I go back.

00:24:15
Speaker 7: I just went back to play a New Year's.

00:24:17
Speaker 10: Eve show at the Bomb Factory, at this amazing venue in deep Ellum. And that's not called the Bomb Factory anymore. That's just called the Factory now. But terrible name change.

00:24:28
Speaker 5: Terrible.

00:24:29
Speaker 7: It used to be a Bomb Factory.

00:24:31
Speaker 10: Yeah, great branding, great name, very recognizable, and now is just the Factory because I think the owners had a falling out or something so they had to rebrand. But anyway, every time I go back, I just know every like square inch of that place.

00:24:50
Speaker 12: You know.

00:24:50
Speaker 10: I can just take my I take my mom's car and I just drive. I go around, just drive for hours, and it fills me with some sort of really yeah, some sort of joy that cannot be duplicated any other way this nostalgia joy.

00:25:08
Speaker 4: Totally, that's the childhood nostalgia of home.

00:25:11
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:25:12
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. It is.

00:25:14
Speaker 10: It's really what about Do you feel like I would? I would imagine you feel like New York is very much.

00:25:18
Speaker 7: Home for you.

00:25:19
Speaker 10: I do.

00:25:20
Speaker 1: My childhood was a little fragmented.

00:25:23
Speaker 4: I I I grew up in Grapevine, but I went to like somehow, I went to four different schools. Oh wow, because I don't know, it's not worth getting into.

00:25:32
Speaker 1: But they were all great.

00:25:34
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:25:34
Speaker 4: It wasn't like I was in one specific group of one school for so long, right right. We moved to Alaska in sixth grade or seventh grade for a few months, and then when it came back, I was in Colleyville.

00:25:45
Speaker 7: You went to Alaska?

00:25:46
Speaker 3: Yea, what did you do?

00:25:47
Speaker 7: Worries it? What was going on in Alaska?

00:34:16
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm down. Yeah, we could definitely make a song out of that. There's something there. Then you just take it to some other little set of chords for another section, you know. But that's just a sweet little you can sing about, sing about fee, can sing about las, sing about tea anything.

00:34:39
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:34:41
Speaker 7: And if yeah, something it's nice.

00:34:44
Speaker 4: Need a minute, you should finish.

00:34:47
Speaker 7: That's all I got, you know, I got little slices.

00:34:50
Speaker 10: That's what I do. I do little slices. But that is something that I'm working on that I need help with.

00:34:57
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was wondering is because you've put out albums.

00:35:01
Speaker 7: Yeah, well those they're not real albums.

00:35:04
Speaker 10: They're they're I mean, they're like album length things that I put out, but they are rips from the videos that I do.

00:35:13
Speaker 7: They're all yeah, they're all just audio rips. Yeah.

00:35:17
Speaker 10: So that's that's actually something that I'm trying to do now, is you know I have for a couple of years now, I've been wanting to do like a full length, like a really a produced composed.

00:35:31
Speaker 7: Exactly.

00:35:32
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:35:32
Speaker 10: Yeah, and I'm trying to figure out you know, because I hope I would like it to be.

00:35:37
Speaker 7: You know, I have a lot of.

00:35:42
Speaker 10: Sort of melodic ideas and chord structure ideas that I think have value. But the thing is, okay, this is my little train of thought with this, is that like I have a very hard time with like the regular sort of studio process. I'm not very good with it or patient with it.

00:36:03
Speaker 1: You know, well you're so quick.

00:36:06
Speaker 7: It's like a blessing and a curse, you know.

00:36:10
Speaker 10: Frustrating it is it's just boor it's maybe more boring more than anything or that I don't have the patience for it, and so I I when I get around to trying to and I've tried a few times. I've like gone to la for a couple of months and tried to link with some of my people over there and start making songs. I never can lay a note down. It's very difficult for me to get there, which is upsetting for me because I want to, you know, I want to create a piece of work like that.

00:36:39
Speaker 7: And so I have this idea.

00:36:44
Speaker 10: And it sort of has to do with this this studio that I just got, but it could also be separate from that. But the idea is that in order to force myself to make a record, basically, what I would like to do is, like my original idea was to do it as a performance, so in other words, to schedule a series of dates where you buy tickets to this very intimate sort of like black box ish venue, and I imagine it being in the round, but the stage is set up like a music studio, so it's there's there's a board for an engineer and a producer. Yeah, the stage is a studio. There's a vocal booth, there's keyboards, there's a drum kit, there's a but whatever everything you need for like an actual studio setup, and people come in and you the the experiences you are in. It's not seats, it's couches, it's bean bags, it's carpets. So you're buying a ticket for a full day and essentially you're coming in to sit in on a studio session.

00:37:58
Speaker 7: But it's a show, so you won't get bored.

00:38:01
Speaker 1: That way.

00:38:02
Speaker 7: It's a way to force myself, you know.

00:38:04
Speaker 10: It's like, let me put these dates out so that I can get this ship done and force myself to do that. The other version of it is, instead of having to do it with an audience, which is its own sort of logistical thing, would be to do it as a series of live streams in this new studio space that I have, so, in other words, to live stream the writing and recording of this thing over the course of a series of dates.

00:38:33
Speaker 1: That's very fun.

00:38:34
Speaker 7: You like it?

00:38:35
Speaker 1: I do.

00:38:35
Speaker 10: I think it could be fun. Come through you know what I mean, like come you just oh watch it?

00:38:42
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, no.

00:38:43
Speaker 10: But also I mean I would love it. It would be fun to have, yeah, to watch it too, be you know. But yeah, it's a way to get myself back on the internet in a different context. You know, I've sort of grown bored of these the live streams in the way that I've done them, just been doing them for a long long time, and I'm sort of tired of the format and to be able to get to do something that's formatted differently in the service of like a real LP. And then it's also a way for me to I can bring my friends in you you know, anyone who wants to come in and help with the writing process can just come and fuck around. It's like a playground, you know. I'll have this whole place that's just set up to play, but it's being recorded and broadcasts.

00:39:29
Speaker 1: That's a great idea.

00:39:30
Speaker 7: You like it, I do, Okay, cool if you're.

00:39:32
Speaker 4: If you want to change it up online and that's that's like a great also.

00:39:36
Speaker 1: People love to be.

00:39:38
Speaker 7: A part of They love that ship.

00:39:41
Speaker 10: The reason I thought about it was because I was watching Get Back the Beatles documentary.

00:39:47
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, you see it, not.

00:39:49
Speaker 1: All of it yet. It's incredible.

00:39:51
Speaker 7: It's really incredible.

00:39:53
Speaker 1: Watching just watching the process.

00:39:55
Speaker 7: That's it. That's it. I was super stoned. I was watching it and I was like.

00:40:00
Speaker 15: Wait a second.

00:40:02
Speaker 7: I was like wait just a fucking second. I could just do this for me.

00:40:09
Speaker 10: I don't know if people would be as interested in it, but people like to watch me, yeah, bumble around online.

00:40:15
Speaker 7: People like it, you know, I think they do. I think they like watching that happen.

00:40:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, and especially if you change it up.

00:40:22
Speaker 10: And yeah, yeah, it's a different way to serve it. It's a different way to serve this experience. And it also hopefully at the end, you know, it's like, even if I don't write the songs fully and completely during those sessions, it's like, don't have to be done.

00:40:39
Speaker 1: You don't have to say it's going to be this exactly right.

00:40:44
Speaker 7: I think so too.

00:40:45
Speaker 4: Also, it's a good way to push yourself into a new territory, which is how you grow, you know, and how you keep it fresh, trying to do oh no.

00:41:00
Speaker 1: For your fresh, for yourself.

00:41:02
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, no, no, it's true. It's true.

00:41:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's the thing.

00:41:05
Speaker 4: You can't just keep doing the same thing over and over, no, getting kind of tired of it.

00:41:10
Speaker 10: It's yeah, you feel like that sort of thing. It feels like to me, like it's like creative death. It's just like you feel like, what the fuck am I doing, you know what I mean, just like Jesus. Yeah, it's really it can screw with your head.

00:41:28
Speaker 7: I think have you ever had you had that feeling?

00:41:32
Speaker 1: Not too bad?

00:41:33
Speaker 7: Oh that's good.

00:41:34
Speaker 4: But I I think I got really hung up in my after my first second record because I didn't really write a lot of songs on either of those records. I wrote a few of the songs, yeah, I didn't write the bulk of the material.

00:41:47
Speaker 7: Oh wow. Yeah.

00:41:47
Speaker 4: I got a little hung up on being a songwriter and not knowing how to be a songwriter, or not liking what I was writing interesting, feeling uninspired. But then I realized that I'm always inspired. I just have to catch it every once in a while.

00:42:01
Speaker 7: And it's so true.

00:42:02
Speaker 1: I haven't really had a bad period since then. But I think it's I think it's because I've.

00:42:06
Speaker 4: Been open to I've been yes ding my whole career pretty much. Like people asked me to do stuff, I'm like, sure, you know, try and it always leads down a different path that kind of like leads to something.

00:42:18
Speaker 7: I mean, wow, it's great, that's really cool.

00:42:21
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:42:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a good way to be. It's a lucky just follow the thing. The thing whatever.

00:42:26
Speaker 4: Also because my first record was a really big success. Yeah, I think I just never felt like I was ever going to match that.

00:42:33
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, that's a classic feeling chasing that.

00:42:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, but instead of trying to chase it, right.

00:42:40
Speaker 1: I didn't.

00:42:41
Speaker 7: That's that's very smart.

00:42:45
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I don't know if it's smart. It depends on like, I don't know it worked.

00:42:50
Speaker 1: The label thought it was smart, but yeah, I think for me it was it was the only way I could keep making music.

00:42:56
Speaker 10: It was not to try to like you would have driven yourself fucking crazy.

00:42:59
Speaker 4: Not to try to create that. Yeah, I've just been pretty open.

00:43:03
Speaker 7: That's nice. That's really nice.

00:43:05
Speaker 4: But did you grow up singing because you have such a great voice?

00:43:08
Speaker 7: Oh, thank you.

00:43:09
Speaker 1: And did you grow up singing R and B?

00:43:11
Speaker 10: No, not really, No, I mean I grew up loving R and B and motown, particularly my mom always listened to a lot of motown. Listen to a lot of Ray Charles James Brown, Temptations for Tops, Smokey Robinson, a lot of you know, Thelma Houston and Aretha, a lot of Aretha. Yeah, so a lot of that stuff. You know, we're playing a lot of that. So I guess it's just sort of burrowed in my brain and I and I always felt very guided by inspired by that tonality, like that sort of feeling that attitude in music. It was always that sort of soul attitude. Always spoke to me that the most strongly, I suppose and and but no, I mean, well, actually yeah, I mean I went to the Manhattan School of Music. I spent a little part of my childhood in New Jersey, in Inglewood, New Jersey, about seven years, I think, from when I was like five to eleven or twelve in Inglewood, just right across the George Washington Bridge, Bergen County was up. And so we would come come into town and go to the Manhattan School of Music. And I took piano lessons there and choir there.

00:44:27
Speaker 1: Oh so you did grow up doing.

00:44:30
Speaker 7: A little bit yeah, yeah, which I loved.

00:44:33
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:44:33
Speaker 7: I missed choir, man, that's fun.

00:44:35
Speaker 1: What did you sing in choir? What kind of choir was it?

00:44:39
Speaker 10: It was sort of a modern choir. I think we did most like like jazz stuff. I remember we would do blue skies, you know that sort of stuff that.

00:44:50
Speaker 1: Was like dense harmonies, Yeah.

00:44:52
Speaker 10: Dense multi part sort of sliding harmonies like that that were really fun. I have never really done it since, but I remember having such a blast doing that choir work learning.

00:45:02
Speaker 1: I did those kind of choir things in high school and college.

00:45:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, isn't that just the most fun thing? Fun?

00:45:08
Speaker 1: Any kind of choir is fun.

00:45:10
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:45:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've never done it since. I love it.

00:45:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's why you're good at harmonies too, and.

00:45:16
Speaker 10: Maybe, yeah, maybe it's fun to figure those out, you know, as you just figure them out like that, how does one thing slide in relation to another? But yeah, so anyway, now that was but that was about the bulk of the singing experience that I had. And then I would just just for the joy of it, would sing all the time and.

00:45:37
Speaker 4: Nobody else would your house, your brothers and sisters or only child?

00:45:42
Speaker 1: Oh wow, kind of No, not really.

00:45:44
Speaker 4: Well no, I have a half sister, very close with her, but we didn't meet until we were sixteen and eighteen.

00:45:49
Speaker 11: Holy.

00:45:50
Speaker 4: So we both have this thing where we tell each other yeah, I always I grew up an only child, and then we laugh at each other. Yeah, but yeah, so you did your parents sing with you?

00:46:03
Speaker 7: My dad enjoyed singing.

00:46:04
Speaker 10: He was you know he listened to is like my mom would listen to a lot of motown and soul, and then my dad. My dad enjoyed the Beatles a lot. He was big into the Beatles, and he enjoyed like opera and Gypsy Kings and like Arabic music. Really ah, yes, So he was always walking around the you know, he just walk around the house doing that sort of shit. Fine, was singing and stuff like that, but no, I mean really it wasn't like it wasn't really like a singing family as you would expect, you know, it was he would just sort of sing passively.

00:46:43
Speaker 7: And then I.

00:46:45
Speaker 10: Enjoyed it too, you know, just because I grew up you know, playing piano and being sort of musical, I suppose, but yeah, not not in any regimented way, you know, outside of those little lessons at the midhat school music.

00:46:57
Speaker 1: You're just always musical.

00:46:58
Speaker 7: I guess. Yeah, yeah, very musical.

00:47:01
Speaker 11: Yeah.

00:47:01
Speaker 10: I was enjoyed making noise. I was making ship and was making noise I think, banging on desks and stuff, little rhythm stuff on.

00:47:10
Speaker 4: Desks, you know, always making it out, yeah, always like doing little drum beats.

00:47:13
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh yeah, all the time, all the time.

00:47:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you play drums?

00:47:18
Speaker 5: Drums?

00:47:20
Speaker 7: But I would like to learn.

00:47:22
Speaker 10: Definitely buying a sick drum kit for the studio.

00:47:26
Speaker 4: You're going to get really good at it.

00:47:30
Speaker 7: Do you play?

00:47:31
Speaker 4: I started playing a few years ago in this band I'm in called Boots.

00:47:34
Speaker 7: Oh cool.

00:47:35
Speaker 4: We all trade around and I finally got the drum seat.

00:47:38
Speaker 5: Nice.

00:47:39
Speaker 4: I'm okay at like a pretty straight beat. But yeah, it is the funnest thing.

00:47:43
Speaker 15: Really.

00:47:44
Speaker 10: Yes, I I learned just a tiny bit in terms of like how to do like the brush, you know, the brush and sort of. It was a guy that's a drummer that was teaching me about it, how like how like you can use it to keep time, how like the like one rotation around the snare with the brush is like back to one sort of thing, which was interesting.

00:48:09
Speaker 7: I didn't about that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, Yeah, that's better than me.

00:48:16
Speaker 3: I don't know how to do I.

00:48:18
Speaker 10: Don't really either, but I'm excited I should learn. I'd love to learn the bass as well as another instrument that I would really love to learn.

00:48:23
Speaker 7: How to play.

00:48:24
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun.

00:48:25
Speaker 7: Yeah, we'll see. Gonna suck at first.

00:48:28
Speaker 1: And did you hang out with musicians in high school or were you kind of very much a theater It was kind of like that.

00:48:35
Speaker 4: I remember all the groups sort of hung out with the music kids, hung out with the music kids, all the theater kids.

00:48:41
Speaker 7: It was like that when you were there too, it kind of was.

00:48:43
Speaker 1: I mean I definitely had friends.

00:48:45
Speaker 7: Yeah, I did too. I did too.

00:48:47
Speaker 10: I had, you know, a handful, Yeah, but by and large, Yeah, it was like the clusters clusters such a bizarre it was like a medical term, the cluster, the eastern cluster moving into the appendix.

00:49:05
Speaker 7: Yeah it was.

00:49:06
Speaker 10: But yeah, I mean they were all it was all fairly separate, you know, because we all have separate classes, and like.

00:49:10
Speaker 1: We did, we had a lot of classes with each other.

00:49:12
Speaker 7: If that's the other thing.

00:49:13
Speaker 4: Samelus Cluster, cluster plus cluster.

00:49:20
Speaker 31: Was renovated when you went, no, I spent, I spent Let's see, Uh, it would have been two years in the original building and then two years in this interim building Nolan Est in Oak Cliff, which was really fun.

00:49:41
Speaker 10: We were it was our building and only our building for two years. We got it in the day.

00:49:47
Speaker 7: And that was it.

00:49:47
Speaker 10: We graduated out of that and then they moved everyone into the new building.

00:49:51
Speaker 7: Building. Yeah, me too.

00:49:53
Speaker 1: That was such a cool vibe.

00:49:55
Speaker 7: Right, amazing space.

00:49:56
Speaker 1: It's so different.

00:49:57
Speaker 31: Yeah, oh my god, now it's like it looks crazy.

00:50:00
Speaker 10: It's like the CIA. Oh, well, live and learn. I'm not a producer. As you can see, i don't know what the hell I'm doing.

00:50:13
Speaker 1: You're about to be.

00:50:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, gotta learn.

00:50:16
Speaker 10: I mean, I think i'd like to have a producer sort of with me through that process. Someone who did you yeah, exactly, you know who I can I can just play and they can get it down, you know, and help me structure it.

00:50:28
Speaker 4: You don't have to think as much about the technical stuff exactly.

00:50:32
Speaker 7: Pro'all be a good way to go, right if you have the right person. Got to be the right producer.

00:50:38
Speaker 10: Yeah, someone who like understands your sound, your aesthetic, the way you kind of.

00:50:46
Speaker 7: Amazing.

00:50:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw your thing with her, that wasn't She's awesome.

00:50:50
Speaker 1: She she was our queen, you know.

00:50:53
Speaker 12: Yeah.

00:50:53
Speaker 1: She went to our high school.

00:50:54
Speaker 7: That's right.

00:50:55
Speaker 4: And she's you know, a few years older than me. So when I was a junior she that was when her first album came out.

00:51:02
Speaker 10: Oh really yeah, we were just like, yeah, she's royalty, she's Royalty.

00:51:12
Speaker 7: Oh my god.

00:51:12
Speaker 10: It was terrifying because it was like it was this big, mad rush. It was a lot of fun, but it was like, you know, she just called me out of nowhere while I was in Dallas.

00:51:22
Speaker 7: There was no warning, she just like called me.

00:51:25
Speaker 15: I was like what.

00:51:27
Speaker 10: She was like, Yeah, I've been watching you like what you're doing. You know, I'd like to maybe come, like be a background singer at your show or so I was like, yeah, oh great, you don't have to be background, just come and sing with me, you know. And so we were rushing to sort of set it up. And the first day she was supposed to come and do like a sound check. Of course she didn't come. Sarahaby she does whatever the fuck she wants. She's very much like that, you know. She just come when she pleases, and she is she's a queen. She could do that totally fine. But anyway, the second day was the day that she was supposed to come play, and she was supposed to come early for that day, didn't come. Getting closer to showtime. What's going on? Probably not going to happen. So I was like, Okay, look, this whole thing is fucking ridiculous. This is not happening. Who am I kidding? It's Eric Abadu, It's probably not. This is just you know, it's like it was fun to think that maybe it was going to happen, but it's not happening, and so I resigned myself to that.
