Did it gear more towards acoustic. 637 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 15: Early early on, I was really careful about trying to 638 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 15: kind of lead basically just trying to drop breadcrumbs the 639 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 15: whole way so that people could follow. I feel like 640 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 15: that's really important as as a host of something that's 641 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 15: different than than being an artist. I feel like as 642 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 15: an artist, part of our job is to just surprise people, 643 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 15: you know, to kind of. 644 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if they think that, though, I think 645 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: that's more fun for us. Sometimes they like it, and 646 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: sometimes they're like, I don't know if I like that. 647 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 15: Right, you know, But I also feel like, well, I 648 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 15: mean that is that's the great balancing act that we're 649 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 15: all playing. But but I ultimately, you know how they 650 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 15: they say you have to be true to your audience 651 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,879 Speaker 15: of one. It's true, right, you know, And if if 652 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 15: I crave, I crave being sort of uncomfortable in the art, 653 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 15: like I want I want, I want to be challenged 654 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 15: by a by a piece of art. And what I 655 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 15: realized as the host of that show is that that 656 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,760 Speaker 15: instinct was only gonna serve me to a certain extent, 657 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 15: and that I needed to I needed to make sure 658 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 15: that people felt safe so that they could enjoy when 659 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 15: they were challenged. And if I if I it was 660 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 15: basically the opposite of being true to your audience of one. 661 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 15: Although although I found within myself someone well and I 662 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 15: thought of my relationship with the show and how it 663 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 15: was a source of comfort and like a like a 664 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 15: true north or like calibrating my week. You know, It's 665 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 15: like here's Garrison and here's that song that the you 666 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 15: know here that will piano from Downey Avenue.

Who tell me about him? 850 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:09,359 Speaker 15: So Tony, it's so it's so interesting the I mean, what, like, 851 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:13,720 Speaker 15: what a legend he is in the bluegrass community and 852 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:18,439 Speaker 15: kind of a relative unknown outside of it, although there's 853 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:23,800 Speaker 15: there's certainly, you know, pockets of musicians who who you know, 854 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,760 Speaker 15: are very influenced by him outside of the bluegrass community, 855 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,240 Speaker 15: but in you know, within the bluegrass community. 856 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:34,359 Speaker 3: He's he's on Mount Rush, you know, and was one 857 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:35,400 Speaker 3: of the first people to. 858 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,440 Speaker 15: You know, the first thing people think of when they 859 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,399 Speaker 15: think about Tony Rice, if they think about Tony Rice, 860 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,520 Speaker 15: is is his guitar playing. He really changed the game 861 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 15: in terms of flat pick guitar and and non bluegrass 862 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:53,320 Speaker 15: flat pick acoustic guitar players would almost certainly have studied 863 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 15: up on what Tony did with with an acoustic guitar 864 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:56,399 Speaker 15: and a flat pick. 865 00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Oh I'm done. What is the flat pick. 866 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,399 Speaker 15: So a flat pick as opposed to like playing guitar 867 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 15: with your fingers. So fingerpicks just picks that mold to 868 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,840 Speaker 15: your fingers, you know, like like like what a banjo 869 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,279 Speaker 15: player uses or you know certain guitar players, whereas a 870 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,320 Speaker 15: flat pick is just an actual it's a flat pick. 871 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 15: But he's playing and you're going back and forth. So 872 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:23,359 Speaker 15: I flat picked the mandolin as opposed to like fingerpicking. 873 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, where you can do all at once. It's kind 874 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,040 Speaker 3: of yes, yes, okay, So he was a flat He. 875 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,920 Speaker 15: Was a flat picker and kind of yeah, a total 876 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 15: master of the flat pick guitar and solo. He he 877 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 15: he was one of the early players to really make 878 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,480 Speaker 15: guitar a soloing instrument in a bluegrass band. Previous to him, 879 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,439 Speaker 15: it was it was not the rhythm, the support, Yeah, 880 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 15: predominantly support. And I wish Chris Elders from Punch Brothers 881 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,520 Speaker 15: were here to give you the real, the real straight 882 00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,839 Speaker 15: Yeah that's right and now, but it's so him and 883 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,560 Speaker 15: this guy Clarence White and Doc Watson was another another earlier, 884 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 15: but people think about that part of his Doc Watson, 885 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 15: but he he was also a tremendous singer. Uh, and 886 00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 15: song curator is I. I feel like one of the 887 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 15: things that goes a little under heralded about him is 888 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,279 Speaker 15: his ability to find a song's best best self, like 889 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 15: find the best songs and then find that song's best self. Yeah, 890 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 15: just that that whatever he would cover, to my ear, 891 00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,799 Speaker 15: became the definitive version of that of that song. And 892 00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,320 Speaker 15: he would get in there and and fundamentally change these things. 893 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 15: So he wasn't just here's my thing, here's me doing 894 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 15: this song. It was like here's here's this song, and they. 895 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 3: Became the best ever. Here's yeah, here's. 896 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,360 Speaker 15: Just he would bounce himself or he would Yeah, he 897 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 15: would bounce his ears off of these songs and they 898 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 15: would be forever changed. So listening to Church Street Blues, 899 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,080 Speaker 15: that's what the record is called Church Reet Blues. That 900 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,080 Speaker 15: that's been lasting. Yeah, the Tony Rice record and Punch 901 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 15: Brothers decided to cover the whole record.

But do you bend notes? You barely don't. 1000 01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,160 Speaker 3: I don't know, because you go out of tune. Exactly. 1001 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,760 Speaker 15: Mandolin tension, mandeline string tension is so high that the 1002 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,360 Speaker 15: force that requires to actually get a bend. 1003 01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:16,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you're out.

I was like, oh, 1060 01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,920 Speaker 1: I think I know that song, but I didn't really 1061 01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:54,520 Speaker 1: know it. 1062 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,640 Speaker 15: It Also, even even what I was pretty sure I 1063 01:06:56,680 --> 01:07:00,160 Speaker 15: have it has that era about it as a song 1064 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:05,400 Speaker 15: that has always existed somehow. Like sometimes sometimes people it's 1065 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:07,600 Speaker 15: almost like when you when you're writing a song, you're 1066 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,720 Speaker 15: kind of excavating songs. 1067 01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,560 Speaker 3: It's not necessarily like you're you don't.

You know, that's the best song. 1072 01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:26,960 Speaker 15: But this, yeah, this, this feels to me like one 1073 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,640 Speaker 15: of those songs.
