We've had so much fun and the response has been so awesome that people actually listen, So thanks for listening, because we had so much fun doing it that it's like, well, if nobody listens, we're just having so much fun doing it. But the fact that people get it, yes and kind of understand what it is. Yeah, seem to you know, enjoy our weird brain ideas. Yeah, it makes me really happy. We're finding our way.

Speaker 1: Kind tips. Just a tip, just a tip.

00:01:43
Speaker 2: And also we will say that we have a very long dream guest list ourselves. Oh my gosh, probably about five hundred names. Yeah, it is so long, and so it runs the gamut.

00:01:55
Speaker 1: Yes, I would say for sure.

00:01:56
Speaker 2: But it's nice to see that some of these suggestions that y'all had were in line with what we were thinking too.

00:02:02
Speaker 1: Did you just say, y'all, yeah, who are you?

00:02:04
Speaker 2: Well? I think are you me? I'm becoming you? I can't have a little bit country you know you are.

00:02:15
Speaker 1: I'm also, like I wanted to say, sometimes we listen back to the podcast once it comes out. Have you been listening to every episode after it comes out or did you kind of stop doing that?

00:02:25
Speaker 2: Are you asking me if I podcast your bait every time?

00:02:31
Speaker 1: Yes I am. The answer is yes, every single time, every single time.

00:02:39
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:02:40
Speaker 1: After editing it and putting it all together.

00:02:42
Speaker 2: It's a different experience to hear it.

00:02:45
Speaker 1: On the platforms.

00:02:46
Speaker 2: Yeah you do.

00:02:48
Speaker 1: You have a different platform you try every time.

00:02:50
Speaker 2: Probably, I don't think I really even think about it. I just great, go to it. Yeah, that's great because it's available everywhere.

00:02:57
Speaker 1: Yes, podcasts, and don't forget to subscribe and like it if you do. As I'm learning, that is kind of important. Yea, like us, like us. But yeah, this is awesome. Yeah, this is fun. Also, we are in our friend Pete's little home studio with a fire going right at my feet. It is delicious where we are right now.

00:03:17
Speaker 2: There's plants galore. Yeah, we have coffee.

00:03:21
Speaker 1: And we're stoked. Yeah, yes, all right, let's dive in.

00:03:27
Speaker 2: All right, what did you guys?

00:03:28
Speaker 1: Tell us? What did you want to say?

00:03:31
Speaker 2: So I'll start with some emails.

00:03:33
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's hear emails.

00:03:35
Speaker 2: So this first email is from Jeffrey and he says, hello there, big fan of the podcast. I look forward to it every week. I love the intimate dialogues and getting interesting insight into different songwriting processes. A couple dream guests for me would be Dave Roll and Meryl Garbus.

00:03:50
Speaker 1: Awesome.

00:03:51
Speaker 2: Dave seems to interview so well and bring a lot of fun wherever he goes, I've always loved the Foo Fighters acoustic stuff from In your Honor, and it would be great to hear Virginia Moon and I think Merril is so vocally talented the jams and harmonies would be amazing. So appreciative what you've made so far, and can't wait for future episodes. Best.

00:04:10
Speaker 1: That's so nice, Jeff, Thank you, thank you, Jeff. Yeah, thanks for taking the time to write. Nobody ever writes letters anymore, and I think at this point people just don't even write emails anymore.

00:04:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true, it's kind of true.

00:04:23
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, I know that when I get a long email, I don't even read it. An It's hard. It's so hard. And I think I've had this conversation with every single friend in my life about our attention spands being.

00:04:34
Speaker 2: So shorter and shorter.

00:04:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think it's the fault of our technology and stuff. Its foes.

00:04:42
Speaker 2: But I will say the other day though, I like had a quiet moment to myself and my brain. It's kind of like when you eat a bunch of junk food and all of a sudden you're like, I want a salad. Yeah, like your body just my brain was like I want to read a book, and you did well, and then I have like, let me scroll and find a good book, and then I got stuck and then I was just scrolling.

00:05:03
Speaker 1: It's funny anyway.

00:05:04
Speaker 2: Book recommendations, Yeah, yeah, send us some.

00:05:07
Speaker 1: Book recommendations please. I feel like I just finished. I just finished that book where the Crawdads saying.

00:05:13
Speaker 2: Oh, which that was on my list.

00:05:14
Speaker 1: Well, everybody read it like two years ago, so I'm a little late.

00:05:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do that too. I watched the movie and then like five years later. Yeah, I'm just late to the party, all right. So this next email is from Chris. Hi Chris, Hello, Nora and Sarah. I have absolutely loved every single minute of the podcast. It has brought me so much joy and so many incredible musical moments, just jaw on the floor, incredible moments where I stop what I'm doing and listen over and over and over again.

00:05:38
Speaker 1: Oh my god, thank you.

00:05:39
Speaker 2: Plus I've been introduced to new artists that I've never heard before the pod cast. Yes, the podcast feels to me like a true breath of fresh air, one of the most real, raw, authentic, in the moment podcasts I listen to. Thank you for using your energy and time to make it and share it.

00:05:55
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, so sweeze.

00:05:57
Speaker 2: So some artists I'd love to suggest would be Trey Anastasio from Fish Awesome and his various side projects. Fish's music has been the backdrop to so much of my life. It's part of the tapestry of who I am. And Trey is a genuinely nice human and has done so much for so many people through his telling about his sobriety, and he's a prolific storyteller and massive music nerd. My geekdom would be off the charts.

00:06:18
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's a great suggestion. And we have a friend whose geekedom would also be off the charts.

00:06:24
Speaker 2: It's true. Yeah, multiple friends.

00:06:26
Speaker 1: Actually lots of fish head friends in our family.

00:06:29
Speaker 2: Fish Heads.

00:06:30
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:06:31
Speaker 2: Ryan Montbleau a singer songwriter that I first heard somewhere around two thousand and five six Fish. His songs are so beautiful and playing is so intricate when I write my own poetry off and think about his lyrical style and wordplay, which have a music and rhythm all of their own. He also does so much for the communities of his fans and is a one person light of incredible love, humility and honesty. To hear you play together would be so much fun.

00:06:54
Speaker 1: That's such a beautiful way of introducing me to someone.

00:06:57
Speaker 2: Is so nice.

00:06:58
Speaker 1: That was a really beautiful description.

00:07:00
Speaker 2: Yes, I love that. We want to know more. Yeah, and Alison Russell. I first saw Alison Russell perform on NPR's Tiny Desk. I bought her record immediately. Her music is beautiful and there's deep power and wisdom and soul and her lyrics and playing that elevates anyone who hears it. I cannot fathom how beautifully the arrangements would be. I get chills and goosebumps thinking about the combination of you playing together.

00:07:21
Speaker 1: Ah. I love that she's on our list and we love her and.

00:07:24
Speaker 2: Who those are some ideas will cross my fingers said, it will come to fruition someday. Apologies as well for a brief moment of geeking out as well, but I cannot wait to someday see you perform in concert. Come Away with Me was the song my wife Noreen and I danced to at our wedding. Ah. We'll be celebrating twenty years next year. That's amazing. Thank you for being an important piece to the soundtrack of my life. Thank you for all the amazing music that you have shared with the world. I am truly grateful.

00:07:50
Speaker 1: Thank you.

00:07:51
Speaker 2: Sending you all wishes of peace and joy. Wherever the road takes you. Take good care, Chris.

00:07:55
Speaker 1: I thank you, Chris. Thanks for those recommendations and for listening and for saying things that make me want to cry. They are so sweet.

00:08:04
Speaker 2: We needed this little boost.

00:08:06
Speaker 1: We Yeah, it's like I kind of needed it too.

00:08:08
Speaker 2: It's like a little bit like is this thing on?

00:08:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. We send it out into the ethers. And it's so cool how social media you can actually get feedback from stuff.

00:08:18
Speaker 2: So we just had to ask for it.

00:08:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's not like we haven't been able to get any feedback, but it's nice to hear those words of affirmation. That is my love.

00:08:27
Speaker 2: Las, both of our love language, words of affirmation. It's the love language of this podcast. Yeah.

00:08:32
Speaker 1: Basically, yeah, I feel like when I'm podcasturbating every time I hear myself, I you know, I always a little bit cringe when I hear myself talk and laugh and be like I love that, I love that, I love that. I think it's a drinking game. You could say I love that every time. Every time I say I love that in the podcast. If you take a shot, it's a it's a total drinking game. But be careful, don't do that because you're probably driving on your commute. Yeah, on your commute. I also wanted to say, Chris, one thing that you said that I really am stoked about is that you've learned about new artists from it, because yes, that's kind of what our goal was, not necessarily exactly that, but to have kind of a variety for this show instead of it just being, you know, one type of singer songwriter. Of course everybody has a different personality, but like a wide variety of musicians.

00:09:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's hard to know everything that's out there. So part of what we're trying to do is introduce you, take you on a little detour.

00:09:32
Speaker 1: And me too. Like the Mark Rebia episode, I didn't even know him. I knew his videos, and then I got to know him more as we worked up to the podcast, but like that was such a fun intro for me even so.

00:09:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this next email is from Tim, thank you so much for this show. I recently found it and I'm loving all of the episodes. There are a couple of artists that I'd love to see with Nora. First one is Lyle love It. He's a great singer and funny human. Think those two would make a great pairing. Jason Isbel Yeah, yes, another brilliant songwriter that has a wide range, sings about things that matter and is super fun to listen to in conversation. And lastly, it would be great to see Dave Matthews and Nora do an episode. Awesome, Yes, thank you Tim, great ideas.

00:10:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks Tim, that's rad I think yeah. And Lyle love It is a fellow Texan. And Jason Isbel's awesome. I think he's on our list. Yeah, he's definitely there. And Dave Matthews Dave Matthew's awesome suggestion. I opened for Dave Matthews in two thousand and two, right, it was like either right after my first record came out, yeah, or right before, Like, yeah, he was right after because we had a tour bus, So I know it was not before it came out because I wouldn't have been able to afford into the US. But I remember we opened up for Dave Matthews for like a week and it was so fun. They were so nice.

00:10:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I always hear about him, is that him and his whole group super nice people. Yeah, accommodating forever ago. This next email is from Adam Hi, Jolly Jones, and Sarah Nice. First off, congratulations on the podcast. It's been a revelation. Still hoping Cat Popper will be on as well. Heck yeah, she's a multiple requests for cats. That's awesome. You're on there. Okay, we're coming after you. And then my dream guest is a big ask, but here goes Sir Paul McCartney.

00:11:30
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.

00:11:31
Speaker 2: Now that would be something with love from down under.

00:11:34
Speaker 1: Adam. Oh thanks Adam, Thanks Adam. Well, certainly that would be something, wouldn't it.

00:11:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Cat Popper, you and Paul mccartny I love.

00:11:44
Speaker 1: I mean you said Paul McCartney. That's amazing and I agree with both of them, Yes, exactly. That is a rad Yeah. I can't wait to have Kat on. She's also been She's been releasing so many cool singles and stuff lately too. I feel like we'd have a lot of fun stuff to do. Sure, and Sir Paul McCartney, you know. I mean, I'll check in with him.

00:12:05
Speaker 2: See, we'll see if we can find a little window time for him. We're really busy.

00:12:14
Speaker 1: There is something about about sir can I keep wanting to say, Sir Paul McCartney, But I also.

00:12:18
Speaker 2: Just want to say I feel like we're supposed to say sir.

00:12:21
Speaker 1: I guess we are, but I feel like there's something about McCartney. I'm just went straight last name. Yeah, there is something about him that I feel like if you catch him and he has the right window and you're like where he is, he would just jump in and jam you know, if he was in the mood, you know what I mean? Should we just follow him around and see if he's like what about now? Yeah, so that's a great suggestion, of course, putting it on the list.

00:12:50
Speaker 2: Actually, both Kat and Paul hope we have multiple requests.

00:12:53
Speaker 1: Really.

00:12:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. They're both high on the list. We should make a grid.

00:12:58
Speaker 1: Of a grid. Well, they're high on my list. Yeah, Okay.

00:13:02
Speaker 2: This next emails from Tom Dear Sarah and Nora. I hope you're both doing well. I'm enjoying the podcast. Great way to meet new artists and new songs. I would love to see an episode with Danger Mouse. Oh, yay, I would loveyan well, Brian Burton. It's an extremely talented producer and produced my favorite album of yours, Little Broken Hearts. Ah. I think it's a great change to play some songs from the album and other songs that you and Danger Mouse have collaborated on in the past.

00:13:32
Speaker 1: That would be cool. We could do some songs from the Rome album.

00:13:35
Speaker 2: Song request. I would love if you would play killing Time. Oh, this is one of my favorite songs of the album. It's a beautiful and unique song. Oh bus it.

00:13:45
Speaker 1: Was a bonus track, so it was on some I don't know what it was on at the time.

00:13:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that would be a great idea.

00:13:50
Speaker 1: That is a great idea to do. Actually, and it's been We had like the ten year anniversary of that album last year.

00:13:56
Speaker 2: So yeah, yay, thanks great, Yeah, Tom, Tom You're you're awesome. PS. I love the song that you wrote with Sarah Oda Burne.

00:14:12
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love it and I love the broken heart emoji. I like when people email please email us more. Thanks Tom, You're awesome. I agree. It would be so fun to have Brian on. Yeah, I feel like he might take some convincing. But if we promise him that we can just have fun and see how it goes and may be, like, you know, entice him. How do we entice Brian, I don't know. Dinner? Well, cook dinner, dinner, that's all we gotta do. That would be great, that would be amazing. Danger Mouse is the best.

00:14:43
Speaker 2: All right, Brian, you're on the list. We're coming after.

00:14:46
Speaker 1: You, We're coming for you. Oh. Also, Tom, I wanted to say I'm glad you liked the song we co wrote together. We've done a few songs together. For those of you who don't know my relationship with Sarah Oda here written songs together. She also has written songs that I've sung. And I think one of these days, Oda, I'm just gonna put you on the spot. We're gonna have to do a Sarah Oda episode and you can't edit this out.

00:15:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, do I edit that episode?

00:15:18
Speaker 1: Because you know you can't edit the episode?

00:15:21
Speaker 2: Well, that changes everything.

00:15:22
Speaker 1: Okay, So we'll do a Sarah Oda episodes one of these days when she's ready.

00:15:26
Speaker 2: Well, maybe we'll do burn Although I could play viola on it.

00:15:30
Speaker 1: You could or maybe we'll do some of your other new songs that you're working on. Hint, hint, hint, hint.

00:15:36
Speaker 2: Yes, stay tuned.

00:15:37
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm displaying alone.

00:15:44
Speaker 2: All right. This next email is from John. Thanks for the opportunity to provide input on potential guests. My ideas would be Taylor Goldsmith, Oh, Lindsey Buckingham, Dream Guests, Dream, Glenn Hansard and or Marcada or Glava awesome. Nancy Wilson, Yeah, Colin Hay.

00:16:03
Speaker 1: It took me a second because I'm like which one, but I'm like, well, the jazz singer has passed away, so of course yes, heart, Nancy Wilson, who I love?

00:16:11
Speaker 2: Colin Hay, Robert Plant another dream guest, Oh Dream, and Bonnie Rait Oh dream guest. Thanks again. I've really enjoyed the podcast and look forward to more.

00:16:22
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you John, John, Thanks for the input. Those are great suggestions.

00:16:27
Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the time to think of some great ideas.

00:16:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for emailing.

00:16:32
Speaker 2: This next email is from Jay Hi Sarah Nora, Hello from Connecticut.

00:16:36
Speaker 1: Oh.

00:16:37
Speaker 2: Hi, First, just a big thanks for the podcast. It's brilliant getting to be a fly on the wall in these conversations and collaborations is just an amazing listening experience. I'm sure it does a lot of work to put these together between planning, travel, post production, et cetera. But as a listener, I want you to know that it is so worth it and very much appreciated.

00:16:54
Speaker 1: Oh that feels good. Thank you, because it is good that it has been quite the prep.

00:16:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're working hard over here.

00:17:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we got to mix all the songs separately. It's not like we just throw micccepting you. Yeah, thank you for appreciating that.

00:17:08
Speaker 2: My kids seven and four have been listening to Nora pretty much every morning for the past seven years. After the singles with Mavis and Chris Thealy had popped up a few times, I did a little digging to see how I had missed these songs in the past and learned about the podcast. Hearing those episodes it works.

00:17:22
Speaker 1: It works. Releasing this time works.

00:17:25
Speaker 2: Hearing those episodes after already knowing the singles that came from them was just so cool. As a parent and former touring musician songwriter who no longer has endless hours of available for creativity, I feel inspired when witnessing what you've been able to create during these short podcast sessions. It's a reminder to me of what can happen when we spend an hour with another creative person.

00:17:46
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that is so true, Jay, I was thinking the same thing.

00:17:51
Speaker 1: That's how it is for us when we're doing them. Yeah, it's endlessly inspiring to sit down with someone and be creative and even just be focused without your phones and have a conversation, right, but especially about music and everything, and then to play songs together. It feels like it feels like like dancing with someone or something, yeah the first time, you.

00:18:13
Speaker 2: Know, for the first time, but like just finding your groove.

00:18:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:18:17
Speaker 2: Second, I would love if you added the song title and timestamp of the song in the show notes. This way we know the names of the songs you're playing.

00:18:23
Speaker 1: Ah, that's a really interesting idea, very good idea. I wonder if that will prevent people from listening to the talking yeah, you know, and they'll just like fast forward to the song.

00:18:35
Speaker 2: Maybe why we didn't, Yeah, maybe.

00:18:37
Speaker 1: That's why we didn't. But that's not to say that it's not a great idea for people who want to go We.

00:18:40
Speaker 2: Could put the song titles in maybe and.

00:18:42
Speaker 1: Just yeah, I will say one thing.

00:18:44
Speaker 2: Also, we don't want to give away what's in the episode.

00:18:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, we wanted to be a surprise, that's the only thing. So it's a great idea, but there's there is a reason we haven't done that. Also, you know, in my dreams, you know, after we release each episode, we would release a mini EP of all the songs only. But it you know, it takes a ton of clearances to get rights for to use from the record labels for these artists for the songs. Publishing costs money for each song, so it's just it's really preventative in that way. Yeah, that's the only reason we're not because I would love to just release all the music.

00:19:19
Speaker 2: That's yeah, that's been kind of our hurdle that we've had to overcome.

00:19:22
Speaker 1: That's been the prep too, a lot of prep between management and record labels all.

00:19:27
Speaker 2: It takes a little bit more time, yeah, and just talking. But yeah, we're learning how to do it as fast as we can. Yeah, Okay. Third, my guest request is Chadwick Stokes of the band Dispatch Awesome, only independent band to ever sell out Madison Square Garden three nights in a row. It would be a dream to hear Nora sing on the chorus of his song The General, and to talk songwriting with him.

00:19:49
Speaker 1: Oh that's so cool. See now I'm learning about new artists myself. Yeah, that is so great. Yeah, thanks for the suggestion.

00:19:57
Speaker 2: Thanks Jay, keep it up, and if you ever need some listen feedback, we are here.

00:20:01
Speaker 1: Oh thanks for that. I love that feedback. Jay. That is great, and thanks for appreciating all the production work that does go into the It's definitely more than you would think. Yeah, all right.

00:20:16
Speaker 2: This next email is from John Hello, a copy of my comment to the recent post dream guest idea is Paul McCartney.

00:20:23
Speaker 1: Of course, Caleb Followill Kings of Leon right, he's a great singer.

00:20:28
Speaker 2: James Taylor of course, Linda Ronstadt.

00:20:31
Speaker 1: Oh, I wish she could still sing. I mean, she's my dream human. Maybe maybe she'd want to shoo. I don't know how she's doing, but I will check in Jewel. I love Jewel.

00:20:43
Speaker 2: She's a great speaker.

00:20:44
Speaker 1: Also, she has a crazy story that is incredible. Her life story is incredible, and i've heard her give interviews about Also like the work she does now. And also I loved her when she came out and in college, I had her one of her albums and I loved it and I love her.

00:21:00
Speaker 2: She was there in a moment for us.

00:21:01
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, she's definitely on my list.

00:21:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, good idea. And Lenny Kravitz, Oh, great idea.

00:21:09
Speaker 1: I've been listening to Lenny Kravitz a lot lately, but like the stuff that was big when we were Yeah, like nostalgic wise, but I remember listening to it recently and thinking like, I don't think I appreciated how actually good this was for being popular right at the time. It's so good.

00:21:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes it takes kind of that, like revisit distance.

00:21:29
Speaker 1: I mean, I knew it was good then, but I didn't think about how good it was.

00:21:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good.

00:21:34
Speaker 1: How many times can we say good?

00:21:35
Speaker 2: Great rad Another one I forgot to add, though not as world famous, is Matthew Perryman Jones love the name. Most of the ones I mentioned are songwriter type anyhow, looking forward to more future podcast posts.

00:21:50
Speaker 1: Thanks John, Thanks John, that was awesome, great suggestions.

00:21:54
Speaker 2: This next email is from Spencer, Hey, Nora, and Sarah. I can't tell you how much I love the podcast. I often listen while I'm work, and I can't tell you how much better. My days are when there is a new episode.

00:22:04
Speaker 1: Ah, that's really good.

00:22:05
Speaker 2: I love hearing the stories of Norah and her guests, how improvisational this setup is and the beautiful and surprising ways music comes together. Thank you both so much.

00:22:14
Speaker 1: Thank you.

00:22:15
Speaker 2: That's so say. And it is improvisational. That's kind is That's what we're trying to capture, is how these aren't rehearsed. No, these are we're winging it, but in controlled wing.

00:22:26
Speaker 1: We basically, if you're curious how it works, we narrow it down to four or five songs between me and the guests usually all give suggestions, or if they're very proactive and give suggestions, that's great. And then we kind of go back and forth and take one out and add a different one, and so we both know what we're going in gonna attempt to play right. And then we get in there and we have two hours max. And occasionally we'll redo the song if we mess it up, but I would say about eighty percent of the time it's just the one time we're doing it together.

00:22:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty raw. I mean, you can hear just from your reactions at the end of the song that it truly was the first time most time. And also it's just a duo set up instead of whatever the original recording of the song or performance would.

00:23:11
Speaker 1: Be, which is fun. You can definitely hear at the end of the song my loud gifa the surprise, the surprise joy of us playing a song together. But yeah, thanks for listening.

00:23:22
Speaker 2: Thank you, Spencer. And so they say dream songs would definitely be waiting. Oh I love that one, or Light as a Feather from the Fall, Thank you. Is it weird to say I love that one because it's my song?

00:23:33
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, I mean I love that suggestion.

00:23:41
Speaker 2: And that song okay, walking my Baby Back Home from the twentieth anniversary released Away with Me.

00:23:46
Speaker 1: Oh, that's that old timey song. Thanks for listening to that, by the way.

00:23:51
Speaker 2: Sleeping Wild or It's a Wonderful Time for Love from Daybreak.

00:23:54
Speaker 1: Which we're both written, Thank you very much, and Oda. Actually I don't know if I wrote Sleeping Wild. You just wrote that one, right.

00:24:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I don't quite remember. It's a blur or maybe say Goodbye r after the Fall from Little Broken Hearts. So that's like a multi cattle, I mean, multi album, Spence.

00:24:15
Speaker 1: You know you're no.

00:24:16
Speaker 2: Joe makes Spence, thank you so much. Dream guests would be Robin Pecknall Fleet Fox's awesome, John Stevens, Oh yeah.

00:24:27
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, stevieen x of am the list. Another vote for Alison Krause.

00:24:48
Speaker 2: That makes sense.

00:24:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really beautiful. I think she's tight with him. Also, I asked my mom to email to see if she had any did she have anybody? She texted me and she said, it would be great if you could get of course, I mean great, I sure would be great, of course, duh. Willie Nelson would.

00:25:07
Speaker 2: Be like, we didn't think of him?

00:25:09
Speaker 1: Huh wait we did?

00:25:10
Speaker 2: Oh wait, we think about him every day.

00:25:14
Speaker 1: And then I said, can you email it to me so I don't forget? And then she emailed me get Willy on.

00:25:21
Speaker 2: So two votes for Willie.

00:25:22
Speaker 1: I thought maybe she'd give us, like some some some my mom personality email and it would be fun to read but she didn't.

00:25:29
Speaker 2: Like I thought she would say Chris Stapleton, she.

00:25:31
Speaker 1: Loves him too. I don't think she thought about it very much. It was like half an hour ago. Well, Willy is a great first and only thought.

00:25:37
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you and thank you again for your beautiful podcast, says Spencer.

Speaker 2: Okay. This next email is from Joel Hi, Nora and Sarah, thank you so much for bringing us this incredible podcast. Nora, thank you. Your music has been the soundtrack throughout my life. Aw must be a young and I was twelve when Come Away with Me debuted, and I'm so thankful your CD came into our house and became a staple to my family. As a closeted gay youth as it was throughout the two thousands, your music became my safe space and helped to provide the light through some very dark times. Since then, your music has accompanied me through celebrations, losses, breakups, and new chapters. Over the years, you helped spark my deep love for jazz and inspired me to continue playing the piano. Your music still fills our home every single day, and I could not be more grateful for you and for the comfort and love your music provides. Thank you for everything you do.

00:26:45
Speaker 1: Oh, I love you.

00:26:46
Speaker 2: Thanks Joel, Joel, thank you.

00:26:49
Speaker 1: This was a beautiful email.

00:26:50

Speaker 2: Ones.

00:27:06
Speaker 1: There's a cat, a cat, A cat has appeared. Okay, Sarah's really allergic to cats.

00:27:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, but as long as they don't and he's rubbing.

00:27:14
Speaker 1: On your back, I swear to god, cat your backpack.

00:27:16
Speaker 2: They know I'm allergic, and they come to the very sweet cat. By the way, I'm like a cat whisper. I'm an allergic cat whisper. They want to be with me because they crave my affection because I can't give it.

00:27:28
Speaker 1: Because you they know you don't want them near the Sarah like the ultimate.

00:27:31
Speaker 2: They want what they can't have.

00:27:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why they're so not forthcoming whenever you want them, or are they I'm not really around.

00:27:39
Speaker 2: I've dated that guy, yeah, the cat cat guy.

00:27:43
Speaker 1: Wait, can we go back to this email? So that was really sweet. I loved your email and it's so appreciated, So thank you.

00:27:53
Speaker 2: There are a couple of dream guest ideas here. Katie Lang oh dream, Yes, Sarah McLaughlin dream buddy guy awesome, very cool. Was on our list yeah because he was coming through town. And yeah, so well he's still on our list. Lucy Rose awesome, Becky Hill and Diana Krawl.

00:28:12
Speaker 1: Oh, Diana cal We know her well, Sarah knows her extra will I do?

00:28:18
Speaker 2: She is my pal?

00:28:20
Speaker 1: Yeah? You worked for her for what how long? Just a couple of years on tour with her. Yes, yeah, she's on our list.

00:28:26
Speaker 2: We loved that great. We had a great time on the road.

00:28:29
Speaker 1: Yeah. And also I've known Diana forever through we used to have the same manager, so every time I see her it feels like family.

00:28:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:28:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, great suggestions.

00:28:39
Speaker 2: And then Joel has a couple questions here. Number one, what is something you'd learn if you had the time?

00:28:44
Speaker 1: Oh oh, well, for a while there it was Violin. I was trying, remember, yeah, but I started.

00:28:51
Speaker 2: You're still a student.

00:28:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't touched it in maybe five years. We still have time do a little brain or Spanish. I wish I knew another language.

00:29:03
Speaker 2: Oh, and Spanish would be your first choice.

00:29:05
Speaker 1: Probably. I dabble in French, so it would be easier to get that going, probably from high school. But I think I would rather just fully learn Spanish.

00:29:14
Speaker 2: Do you have a recent favorite book that you'd recommend?

00:29:17
Speaker 1: Back to Books, Back to Books? Well, I talked about Where the Crowd Ads Sing at the beginning of the episode, and I do love that book. It's amazing. But the one I recommend lately is Calypso by David Sidarish if we love David se Well, I mean you know, I'm like his biggest fan. I've read everything he's ever written, even like random New Yorker and.

00:29:36
Speaker 2: We went to his book reading that one time.

00:29:38
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right, Brooklyn, and we waited in line to meet him. And I love him. But you probably are familiar with David Sidara's SJOL. But if you're not, all his books are incredible, but this particular one is it's just it's kind of heavy. It's a lot of family stuff, but it's also hysterical because he's just his way of looking at life makes me laugh.

00:29:59
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's incredible.

00:30:01
Speaker 1: But it's it's a nice balance of like really heavy stuff and then also it's really funny.

00:30:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's heavy, but you're laughing through it.

00:30:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's deep. It's a deep book and I recommend it good idea. Yeah, oh did you see our Conan? My Conan episode came out today?

00:30:17
Speaker 2: Yeay, Oh my gosh, check out Conan. It was so fain.

00:30:22
Speaker 1: Do you guys listen to the Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast? Because I do and I have since right before the pandemic And it made me laugh the whole way through and I got to be on it and it was pretty fun.

00:30:33
Speaker 2: He's just so like on the spot funny. It's this is not like scripted. It is like.

00:30:43
Speaker 1: It was fun to meet him and again after many years of being on his shows, and then also Sona and Matt Gourley.

00:30:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, the team.

00:30:52
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's so funny when you listen. When I mean I listened to certain podcasts a lot, and they become they feel like they're your friends. So I wonder if people feel that way about us, if they listen long enough, like if they it's just so weird.

00:31:07
Speaker 2: Maybe like at the end of the session we could have them fill out a survey and be like, so on the scale of like friend, like.

00:31:15
Speaker 1: Are we are we your friends? But can you just you know, would you have us in one coffee?

00:31:20
Speaker 2: Do you like me yesterday?

00:31:21
Speaker 1: Do you like me? Yes? I check? Yes? Thank you, Joel? Did you have any more questions?

00:31:27
Speaker 2: That was it?

00:31:28
Speaker 1: Oh?

00:31:28
Speaker 2: I like questions, many many thanks and a big giant hart thanks and a big hug to you, Joel. Okay, so now I want to read some ideas that we've had in the comments of our Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.

00:31:40
Speaker 1: Cool.

00:31:42
Speaker 2: All right, so we have a suggestion from Warnick Alice please play Sinking soon in one of the episodes awesome, and the Natalie page says, oh that would be such a fun one.

00:31:53
Speaker 1: Oh they comment on the suggestion, yeah, oh a couple times. Cool. I wasn't allowed to look at these comments. I couldn't look at them.

00:32:01
Speaker 2: Well, you were allowed. It was a suggestion, you know, to keep fresh, even fresh.

00:32:04
Speaker 1: I love that suggestion. I guess it would depend on who the how it fits in with the guests.

00:32:10
Speaker 2: Norah and Alison Kraus would be an insane duo, says Trigs O nine, Please make that happen.

00:32:15
Speaker 1: I would love to.

00:32:16
Speaker 2: And Popelinus one, says Robert Plan and Alison Krause together Nora singing A Whole Lot of Love or Battle of Evermore would be a dream a sure.

00:32:27
Speaker 1: So one thing we haven't done yet, which we were actually talking about trying to do, was possibly having two guests on it once and it would have to be an appropriate matchup and it could be really fun.

00:32:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would still be intimate, totally. I mean to have a duo or even trio.

00:32:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, trio. It gets tricky because, like, you know, the thought of having a band on or something would be so great if I love the band, But unless there, I don't want to insert myself where I'm not needed musically, you know what I mean. If they have it all dialed and like it's not that different, I don't know.

00:33:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe like conversationally it's easier to get a little deeper one on one, yeah.

00:33:07
Speaker 1: Or two people, But I think more than that is maybe I don't know. There's no rules.

00:33:12
Speaker 2: There are no rules to playing along. Yeah, that's right, yere May Coel eight four says Eddie Vetter, Eddie Vetter, Eddie Vedder.

00:33:23
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I love Eddie Vedder. I would do it.

00:33:27
Speaker 2: Cedric Dial says Bob Dylan. One can dream.

00:33:30
Speaker 1: Oh we've dreamed.

00:33:32
Speaker 2: I've dreaming.

00:33:32
Speaker 1: I can't imagine he would do it, but that would be incredible.

00:33:37
Speaker 2: Should I call him?

00:33:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, just call.

00:33:38
Speaker 2: I'll give him a call when we get off this thing. I'll just yeah. Bobby Jadja Skelton says, listen to Mayvia Staples and Lucas Nelson and both were awesome. Thank you. M F Benji says Sharon van etten. Yes on the list, and the Natalie page says okay, yes, please to this one. Yes totally on the list, tab says Randy Newman please, oh my god. And I that's a great idea and sing I think it's going to rain, but Christely was already perfection. So y'all are nailing it.

00:34:10
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, but I agree, and I love Randy Newman so much.

00:34:14
Speaker 3: Yes.

00:34:14
Speaker 2: The Natalie page also suggests, oh plus one to Sharon van Att and someone else in the comments wrote her and that would be awesome.

00:34:21
Speaker 1: That would be also, I know exactly, I have like twenty songs I would suggest for Sharon that we could do together. Yeah. But you know what I would love to try with her is the first time I met her. We did a best fest with her and where I was singing harmony and it was a Neil Young fest. Oh, and she did that song I Believe in You, that Neil tune.

00:34:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:34:43
Speaker 1: Oh, it was so beautiful with all the harmonies in her singing it. I would ask if we could do that song.

00:34:48
Speaker 2: Oh, that would be a great one. And then you gotta do seventeen.

00:34:52
Speaker 1: And she has so many good songs. Her new album is awesome.

00:34:55
Speaker 2: I just love the way you both saying that one together.

00:34:58
Speaker 3: I love her Rich Monk gt R says Dream Guest Nico Case, Oh me too, Dream, Same f N Country eighty seven says Willie Nelson Dream, Dolly Parton.

Speaker 1: Uh Dream, You've got our number.

00:35:27
Speaker 2: Thank you, Yeah, thank you. Mister Ud says I have a question you see Japanese because that later it says mister ud is pronounced e as in t or mister e mister Dunn spelled backwards.

00:35:44
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's adorable.

00:35:46
Speaker 2: So I probably totally screwed that up. But okay, so I have a question. Mister Enid says, I have a question. Can you make the I am just playing a long song into a full song, like four minutes long.

00:35:58
Speaker 1: Oh, listen to it.

00:35:59
Speaker 2: I'll listen to it.

00:36:00
Speaker 1: It's great, that's sweet. I feel self conscious about that long because it was such a quick thing and now it's like the theme of the show.

00:36:07
Speaker 2: That's why it was so great. We were basically sitting down to record like the first intro of the first episode ever of this podcast, that we were just figuring out what we were doing, and we're like, oh.

00:36:18
Speaker 1: I said we should have a theme theme.

00:36:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, quick, somebody think of something. And you just said at the piano, and no, you were like, I might have something.

00:36:28
Speaker 1: I just thought of it. I was like, I'm just playing a long and then I sat at the piano and we recorded it really quick.

00:36:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, but guess what, it's in all of our heads.

00:36:37
Speaker 1: But the first version we had of it was so slow. I was self conscious about it for a while. Yeah, but then we did a new version.

00:36:45
Speaker 2: It was a little catch pipettier.

00:36:47
Speaker 1: And then I did like a different version of it in EVERYCID just so we get inserted.

00:36:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have like twenty twenty versions for all occasions. Yeah, happy, sad, dreamy. I'm glad you like rag time.

00:37:01
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll all do an extend oversion at the end of one of the episodes.

00:37:05
Speaker 2: And then Sophie Panosian says, great idea, I second this, please, Ah okay, Nick's MP five. Can we get Susan Tedeski or Bonnie Rait on the podcast?

00:37:16
Speaker 1: Oh? On the list? So it's hard Tore, Yes, I think we can do it. We'll do that. I bet if I blug them enough they might say yes.

00:37:25
Speaker 2: Ever, Riend's twenty six point two says, would love to hear you collaborate with some of the musicians from your first album to hear a reflection of the wild Ride twenty plus years later. Apologies if you've done this and I missed.

00:37:36
Speaker 1: A No, that's a brain eye to the pod. That's a great idea.

00:37:39
Speaker 2: Actually, lifelong fan.

00:37:41
Speaker 1: Definitely want to have Jesse Harris on Yes, who was already suggested.

00:37:46
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:37:46
Speaker 1: Also, I never get to hang out with Jesse anymore. Yeah, he's always everywhere in the world, and I haven't properly had a good hang with him in a while.

00:37:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's like the story of how you met and kind of came together.

00:37:59
Speaker 1: It's pretty fun.

00:38:00
Speaker 2: I've heard your version and I've heard his version, but to tell it together.

00:38:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and yeah, there's a lot of people from that those days.

00:38:08
Speaker 2: Valentine Refault here, there and everywhere with Sir Paul McCartney.

Speaker 2: I live in New York, but I'm on tour right now. Hello from Vienna. Hi, I love you guys.

Speaker 2: They are all such wonderful writers and musicians.

00:42:05
Speaker 1: I mean, Tom Waits is my dream, of course. I also I love Lona Delray's voice as much.

00:42:13
Speaker 2: Let's stop, let's discover, let's stalk her, Luan Tarso, says Billy Jo Armstrong.

00:42:19
Speaker 1: Yes, on my list, on the list. In fact, I bugged him about it once and I need to bug him again. Because he said yes, but then there was.

00:42:25
Speaker 2: No follow up. So now that we're gonna be saying this in this episode, hopefully well.

00:42:30
Speaker 1: Because she's totally going to listen to this email, So.

00:42:32
Speaker 2: Billy, yeah right, I know you're at home.

00:42:34
Speaker 1: Now, I'll just text it.

00:42:35
Speaker 2: I'll be like, Hi, bugging you now, that might be more.

00:42:39
Speaker 1: I will say. I want to tell you guys this, I've never been good at bugging.

00:42:43
Speaker 2: People for stuff you're not You're really.

00:42:45
Speaker 1: I really hate doing it and I'm not good at it. And there's people I've met over the last twenty years in this business that have been so kind to me, and I've had the opportunity to keep like up with and keep in touch with. But I'm so sh i around these people that I love so much, like people I admire. I'm talking like Dolly, you know that, I like, I don't reach out when I have the the the email like shame, you know what I mean. It's like, I get really nervous reaching out to people are shy to do that. I think I have a fear of rejection.

00:43:17
Speaker 2: Well, of course, I mean, I don't know. The worst thing they can say is no.

00:43:21
Speaker 1: Well also if they say no, it doesn't mean they hate my guts, you know what I mean.

00:43:25
Speaker 2: It's like it just means.

00:43:26
Speaker 1: They don't want to do something you're not how busy they're by, Yeah, exactly.

00:43:30
Speaker 2: You know, as an artist, how many things you've had to say no do that you wanted to do.

00:43:33
Speaker 1: That's true. I have had to say no to the stuff I wanted to do. But also I just think it's a funny thing to note that I've been really shy about asking people to do.

00:43:42
Speaker 2: That's why you have me, because it's my job to like professionally reach out and nudge people.

00:43:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but there's some people I do know that I could nudge personally that I just I always feel weird about. I feel weird about that because it's like crossing a little friend barrier where you're asking them to do something but it's actually something really fun that they might like, but it's also feels like an imposition.

00:44:05
Speaker 2: So I think you got to think of of what you're asking us as a real fun thing that you're offering, because it's not just for you, it's for them too, and they like every time you put it.

00:44:16
Speaker 1: That way, Hey, I'm offering you this special spot on my special place show.

00:44:22
Speaker 2: I think every time we end a session, the guests are always like, this was so much fun.

00:44:27
Speaker 1: It is so much fun.

00:44:28
Speaker 2: You have to remember that you have something great.

00:44:32
Speaker 1: Well, yes, I know, but I think it's super fun. But I anyway, I just thought it was funny to note I'm scared to ask you. I'm a scared, big, old, scaredy cat, and you're allergic to me.

00:44:40
Speaker 2: Don't be I'm not a lerned to you, but I do think. Yeah, I mean, I get it. There's a reason to be a little like you.

00:44:47
Speaker 1: Don't want to be so bold and Pasha, I don't want to be in asky pants.

00:44:51
Speaker 2: We try to make it really easy. Yeah, for the people that we ask, you'll show up at your doorstep.

00:46:29
Speaker 1: We could do something from Rome. We can do anything. That's the fun about this podcast is like, I feel like each episode could be anything. We could make up songs. We could do all of songs from their new albums if they want. We could do a few of mine. We could do a bunch of covers. Though it's harder to get clearances for certain things I will put out there. But for me, it's open doors, wide open.

00:46:51

00:50:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, but oh I remember that.

00:50:03

00:54:02
Speaker 1: The list is endless, and that's what's so fun about it. But we love your suggestions because there have been a few that The thing about the suggestion lists and our dream guest list is that everyone has been at the top of it at some point. It's not like it's set and it's like every time we hear of somebody and we think of somebody that like, how could we have not thought of that person, it's just because it wasn't in our orbit at the moment. And then it's like they go to the top of the list automatically.

00:54:26
Speaker 2: It's like waves, and then we just one idea sparks another idea, and we just keep coming up with more and more.

00:54:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty fun.

00:54:33
Speaker 2: It's a big job to try and like hone in, it's actually where to go next.

00:54:37
Speaker 1: Actually, I will say it's been a little tricky because we're just getting this started. It's been tricky to hone in on a good variety of guests because we wanted to curate the first chunk of guests in a way where it didn't get pigeonholed as a you know, only singer songwriters, only jazz or only country, right, And so I feel like now that we're going, we can just start going out to people more though, and it can be a little less curated.

00:55:03
Speaker 2: So now it's just like it can be take us in any direction already.

00:55:06
