But we have some music artists 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: coming up. I don't want to talk about new music 10 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: out this week. For example, lady Like, which is Ingrid 11 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: Andrew's first album. It's her debut album and it has 12 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: this song more hearts than mine, I guess. And she 13 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: also has another song that wasn't put out until her 14 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: record came out, called The Stranger See Place. She's really good. 15 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: Ingrid and I have been friends for a long time 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: and her first ever radio performance was on the show 17 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: and she played Ladylike. If we're playing lady Like and 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: I also like to that's only eight songs on the record. 19 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: I can listen and actually listen to eight songs before 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: I decide what I like, because there's a like fourteen 21 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: songs I'm listening in the first seven seconds, I'm like, no, 22 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: I'm not like some of them. Look when Ed Sheeran 23 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: puts out his twenty seven tracks and I like Ed Sharon, 24 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: but that whole duo duet album he did, there's a 25 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: lot of tracks, right. I don't think I got through that, 26 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: or I didn't get through it fairly because I would 27 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: be like, there's so many tracks here, I'm just gonna 28 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: go through and see if I liked first fifteen seconds. 29 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: I do like an eight song album. If you're gonna 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: put that mini and called an album, I prefer an 31 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: EP these days, unless it's my favorite artist. How many 32 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: tracks that have Let's see, it's so many you can't 33 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: even get through it is. There's some great songs to 34 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: and some songs I discounted earlier. They are not big hits, 35 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: but I I didn't give them enough time on that. Yeah, 36 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: too much. Let's do about eight, nine, nine, nine, a 37 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: bit too much. But when they do twelve and thirteen, 38 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: I just know there's five songs. I'm not going to 39 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: be able to really focus on. Decatur Country read excuse me, 40 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: Decatur County red from Jesse, Alexander. She's written hits for 41 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: Blake Shelton, Miley Cyrus, and Lee Bryce.

Um, so we got to be friends through that. 50 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: And then she's done the Bobby Cast. We did a 51 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: whole long episode with her when she wrote Miley Cyrus 52 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: as the Climb, Lee Bryce, I Drive your Truck, Blake 53 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: Shelton a bunch of stuff.

The interesting thing about that Kane 66 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: was talking on a radio show about this and he 67 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: just got a calls like, hey, you want to right, 68 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: So he goes to the studio and writes with him. 69 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: He's like, oh my god, and him and John Legend right, 70 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: and they recorded right then, like they wrote at the studio, 71 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: which is something that doesn't happen here in Nashville.

Really Yeah, that's cool. Here is 78 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: Don't Start Now and the album is called Future Nostalogists. 79 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: I guess the whole album's done. That makes sense because 80 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: I've been seeing people mostly females in their mid twenties 81 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: young thirties. Instagram story about it. Five seconds of Summer 82 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: put out a record I'm trying to see if I 83 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: know anybody else, a self titled album from count singer 84 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: James Robert Webb, who's also a real life physician. Yeah, 85 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: I know, don't do we have new music? Okay, but 86 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: I did see that was out there too, so decent 87 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: amount of music. It's just weird that they're putting it 88 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: out in the whole world is kind of focused on 89 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: the news and Corona and what can we do? And 90 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: we're trapped. And I wonder, because I saw the metrics 91 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: that streaming music is way down, I wonder why that is. 92 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like BO aren't in the 93 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: mood for new music right now, but just streaming music 94 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: in general has been down. But I guess I haven't 95 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: streamed much music. I guess you're not driving as much, 96 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: so driving or running or work at the gym. Yeah, 97 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: maybe I find it's out of my routine now, me too. 98 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: As I was going, I don't know why I started 99 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: think back in unless I'm take getting out of the 100 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: shower and I yelled at lexit to play something, because 101 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: I don't just sit around the house listening to music. 102 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: It's when I'm doing something and it's all the things 103 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: I'm not doing anymore. That's a good point because when 104 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: I read that, I was like, why would I would 105 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: feel like it would be up because I was anything 106 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: to do. But maybe it's because everybody has nothing to do, 107 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: including Yeah, because I definitely haven't turned of music on. Okay, 108 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: well that's what's up. That's music out. Check out Mike's 109 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: podcast called Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.

I had met her 122 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: pre the finale and she was singing this song on 123 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: the finale. I didn't know she was going to sing 124 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: it over when we were getting ready to go out 125 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: to actually win the Mirror Ball, right, And so I 126 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,239 Speaker 1: saw Lauren and I went up to her and said hello, 127 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,559 Speaker 1: and we did some rehearsal stuff together, kind of getting 128 00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: ready for the show.

But Keith Urban as the one that kind 131 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: of put me onto her, and then he mentioned her 132 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: on my show too. I was like, hey, Lauren Daego, 133 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: She's uh, I mean, it's really great. And so she 134 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: had mentioned that to me and so we kind of 135 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: we're talking back and forth and nobody expecting me to 136 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: win that show dance one of the stars, and so 137 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: we made a bet. I said okay, because her manager 138 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: was there too, and everybody's in Nashville. It's like, all, 139 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: if I win, we're all going to dinner. And um 140 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: I ended up winning, and so we weren't able to 141 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: go to dinner before she left. And those world tours 142 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: that they do, they don't come back home. It's not 143 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: like country tours, we're they go away for Thursday, Friday Saturday, 144 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: or like my tours where I go away for Thursday, 145 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: Friday Saturday or Friday Sat or whatever. They you away 146 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: come back flight four or five months um. And so 147 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: we become pretty friendly after that. And then anyway I 148 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: win the show. But on that finale part where we're 149 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: all standing there, they show a clip of you throughout 150 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: the whole season.

Everybody's kind of emotional, 157 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: and then as soon as she finishes her song, they're 158 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: like in the winter is and then it was boom 159 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: Bobby and Charness.

So when did that 191 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: decision get made? Um, we made that. Gosh, that was um, 192 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: maybe the Grand Rapids Show. So like I think the 193 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: twelve something like that of March we had to. Um, 194 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: it was kind of one of those moments where it 195 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: was an hour by hour, like we get a call 196 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: from the CDC. It's say, we're gonna postpone all even 197 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: so larger than a thousand people two for the next 198 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: two weeks, and then it was like for the next month, 199 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: and then it was like for the next seven weeks, 200 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: and they just kept pushing back back back, and so, um, yeah, 201 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: we're not I don't know the exact dates that everything 202 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: quite yet, but we're not canceling, which is good. It 203 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: just means we're just having to move at all. Have 204 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: you talked to your family at home? I was watching 205 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: this morning that New Orleans is really struggling. Like they're 206 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: one of the real hot spots now as far as 207 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: like New York, l A, Chicago, New Orleans with coronavirus. 208 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: Have you talked to down there having a good old 209 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: time and then everybody got the dad gums virus? I mean, 210 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: it's not funny. I told I told my friend the 211 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: other day, I said, you know why New Orleans is 212 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: the next hot spot? It's because we're We're a culture 213 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: that just loves being with people. We love being around 214 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: each other. We share everything. It's like, come on inside, 215 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: I got a cup of pot of coffee. Oh you 216 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: need a different cup, you know what I mean. It's 217 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: like we're just very communal and um it's so vibrant. 218 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: The culture is so vibrant, so rich and so alive 219 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: and um, so it makes sense to me as to 220 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: why it would be the next the next hotspot. People 221 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: don't really stay away from each other too much. But 222 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: I have some friends down there that up and calling 223 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: pretty much every day FaceTime and every day and just saying, 224 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: all right, all y'all doing, how's everybody holding up? And 225 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: one of my friends was like, we decided to stay 226 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: home and we're building chicken coops and we ordered chickens 227 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: and and seeds and stuff. I'm like, of course, there 228 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: you go, New Orleans quirk. I love it. What was 229 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: like growing up for you? I love a fiah. It 230 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: was very rich in in culture and um, whenever I 231 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: was a kid, it was you know, my grandfather who 232 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: put me on his feet and he would teach me 233 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: how to dance. And then you know, you'd go into 234 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: all the zytic rooms and people are playing the washboard 235 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: and the accordions and it's generational, you know, past down 236 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: from one family member to the next. And I think 237 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: that says a lot about our culture. It's very where 238 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: I came from, it was pretty hippy, honestly, Like there 239 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: were a lot of people that. Um, it was like 240 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: where the oil field and art collided, like Lapia is. 241 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: The city was a lot of oil, a lot of 242 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: business there. But there's this like kind of sective people 243 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: that you know, make everything from scratch and play music 244 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: all the time and create. It's very creative. Um. People 245 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: are always you know, creating festivals and different things like 246 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: that just to bring people together. And I remember as 247 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: a child, we we had this thing called Festival International 248 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: and every year, um lat Yett would host this and 249 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: it was it was named one of the world's largest 250 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: free festivals. UM and I think like over a hundred 251 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: thousand people or something would each year. But um, the 252 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: beauty of it was it was this celebration of culture, 253 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: and so people from all over the world would fly 254 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: and perform like their traditional African dances like from the 255 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: congo or you know, certain things from South America and Canada, 256 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: lots of French music and so it was really diverse 257 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: and really beautiful. Um to see Lafayette like celebrate something 258 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: so so um unique honestly, and so I think something 259 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: about growing up underneath that musical influence. Um, it really 260 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: inspired me and kind of I would say that was 261 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: probably one of the most influential things I was a 262 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: part of as a kid. I think I, like a 263 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: lot of people that are listening to this show right now, 264 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: probably started to learn of you in the last couple 265 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: of years, Like we were kind of late to the 266 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: Lauren Dagel train, and I think you are talking about this. 267 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: At one point I knew of you because Keith Urbone 268 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: was like, hey, you should listen to Lauren Dagle, Like 269 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: he told me that that he came on my show 270 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: and said that as well. So when I started to 271 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: look up some of the early stuff about you comment 272 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: on this because I didn't know this. It says Lauren 273 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: did not consider music seriously until contracting a debilitating illness. 274 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: She claims it was one of the best things that 275 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: happened to her. What what is that little block of 276 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: what happened there? Okay, I don't know how how debilitating 277 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: it quite was. You know, that might be where that 278 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: was expanded upon, but um, yeah, it's actually it's true. 279 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: When I was in high school, Um, I was diagnosed 280 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: with this virus that put me on homebound four about 281 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: eighteen months. And um, honestly, I went to a college 282 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: preparatory school. It was very academics driven. Um, I knew 283 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: I always wanted to sing. Like growing up, they did, 284 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: what do you want to be when you grow up? 285 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: And I say, how would be a singer? Because I 286 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: would love listening to you Whitney Houston and to Len 287 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: Beyond and these women that had these powerhouse voices and stuff. 288 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,239 Speaker 1: And I'd sing all over the house and make up 289 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: melodies or whatever. And it was I guess about my 290 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: eighth grade year ninth grade year when it was kind 291 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: of like okay, but what are you really gonna do? Um? 292 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: And I remember my my grandfather sitting me down and saying, okay, 293 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: come on, what are you thinking of? What do you 294 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: want to do? And for some reason, I just adopted 295 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: that I can't really do music, like that's just some 296 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: pipe dream. I'm gonna go into the medical field because 297 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: I love anatomy. I love biology. It's fascinating to me. 298 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: So um, I end up kind of in my mind 299 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: thinking I'll probably go into something medical. Well, right as 300 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: I started kind of gearing my world for that, um, 301 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: I end up getting this illness. And because I was home, Um, 302 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: I would just sing all the time, like uh, it 303 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,959 Speaker 1: was basically the only thing that I could do that 304 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: wasn't allowed me to dream and allowed me to create. 305 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: And my mom put me in voice lessen because it 306 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: wasn't too hard on my my body and kind of 307 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: kept me out of depression and helped with it, if 308 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: you will, And so um, yeah, I really is. It 309 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: became therapy for me. It became like just a source 310 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: of healing during that time. And because of it, I 311 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: feel like that's why I sing the songs that I 312 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: do now. It's because if I walked through something that 313 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: was difficult or painful, isolating lonely, um, maybe I can 314 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: make music that inspire someone who's walking to that same situation. 315 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: You know, at what point, though, when you're singing, do 316 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: you realize, well, I'm actually really good. And I don't 317 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: mean that in a funny way, but when did you 318 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: realize that you were better than even the local contemporaries 319 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: for you? So, okay, this is funny because I feel 320 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: like I've really struggled with confidence for a long time 321 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: as far as if I was good or not. Um, 322 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: my mom would hear me singing all over the house 323 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: and she went to our choir director at church and said, 324 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,239 Speaker 1: my daughter sings. I have no idea if she's good 325 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: or not. But if you like meet someone in the 326 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: back road the choir, please call her. And he said, 327 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: come on around in the back of the church. I 328 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: want to I want to see what you seem like. 329 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: And he had me sing this song and I was 330 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: really cheepish about it, and he said, Laurence, I've heard 331 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: you sing like I mean, i've heard you laugh, and 332 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: so I know that you can you can built And 333 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: I was like okay, and so I just went for it, 334 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: and he said, get ready because in two weeks you're 335 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: gonna start singing that song in church. And I remember 336 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: in that moment feeling like and Okay, this is kind 337 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: of exciting, this is like a shred of hope. Maybe 338 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: I can do this. Well. Then after a couple of 339 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: months of singing that church, everybody did the classic you 340 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: gotta go on American Idle. So I went. I tried 341 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: out for American Idol, and um that was in Atlanta, 342 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: and I remember there was ten thousand people there and 343 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: I got a golden ticket after all those ten thousand people, 344 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: And so that was kind of when I was like, huh, well, 345 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: am I only good for like my little community? Or 346 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: am I good for the states? Or am I good 347 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: for the country or my good for the world? Like 348 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: how do you measure this? And I think going on 349 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: American Idol gave me a boost of confidence. But I 350 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: got cut at the point where you can go onto 351 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: the the live shows, and so that was me having 352 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: to wrestle, Okay, are you gonna actually believe in yourself 353 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: a little bit? Um? And I think I went back 354 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: home and I started singing and random bands and stuff, 355 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: and we would sing cover gigs all over the the city. 356 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: And I went to L s U and I took 357 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: voice you know with L s U. And there were 358 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: just so many things that I think slowly but truly 359 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: started building my confidence along the way. UM. And so 360 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: I would say American Idol was one moment and I 361 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: was like, UM, maybe I maybe I actually have a voice. 362 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: And then UM, another time was um, whenever I was 363 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: getting signed by the record label. Um, that was another 364 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: moment that I was like, is this a joke? Like 365 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: is this really happening? Am I really good? Am I 366 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: like good enough for a record label? Too? Invest in? 367 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: Like there were all these questions, Um, but they were 368 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: and so they were kind and it helps grow me. 369 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: And now we're here, and you know, it's so funny, Bobby, 370 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: is that I feel like there are so many different 371 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: stages in this industry. You know, there's so many different 372 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: moments and UM, sometimes you feel like, wow, how am 373 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: I getting a chance to be here? And sometimes I've 374 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: got to keep working hard so that I can get 375 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: to the next spot. And I feel like the that push, 376 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: UM makes me want to keep learning. So even though 377 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm in this space that I'm in right now. All right, Well, 378 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: what qualifies me to go to the next level? Or 379 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: how can I um train myself or even in times 380 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: like the quarantine, like learn something new that is going 381 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: to keep me excelling um to reach the next bar? 382 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: You know, I feel like that quest and that journey 383 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: for Okay, Well, am I good enough for this? Or 384 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: do I have potential here? Um? I think that's probably 385 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: gonna exist in me until I die. And I think 386 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: there's something really here's something good about that. You know. 387 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: You bring up American Idol. It's I've been working on 388 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: the show for three years now, and what I talked 389 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: with him about off the camera. You're one of the examples. 390 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: And I used to one as Hillary Scott from d A, 391 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 1: who's who's I'm close friends with? And the other one 392 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: is you, and that it's never an on camera moment, 393 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: but it's an off moment to tell people just because 394 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: you didn't make the show means you just weren't right 395 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: for the show. It doesn't mean that, It doesn't mean 396 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: you're not good, doesn't mean you don't have your own style, 397 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 1: Does you have your own thing? You just weren't right 398 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: for this one little lane of a TV show that's 399 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: happening right this second. And so you know your story 400 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: is one did you try it more than once? So 401 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: just do it one time. I did. I tried out. 402 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: So the first year I tried out, I made it 403 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: to the end of Hollywood Week. Second year I tried out, 404 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: didn't even make it to Hollywood it was brutal, had 405 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: the flu. And then the third year made it to 406 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: the end of Hollywood Week and then went to Las 407 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: Vegas as when they were doing that, and then I 408 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: got cut after off Vegas Wow three times and that 409 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: in It Isn't a wild You're here now And I 410 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: think you mentored last season or the season before, right, Yeah, 411 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: it was amazing last season. It was honestly one of 412 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: the most exciting things I had done in my career 413 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: so far. I told Leave my manager, I was like, 414 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: I would do that any day, Like there is something 415 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: so it's so real about just encouraging someone who's at 416 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: the very very beginning of their journey, Like, uh, that 417 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: I can understand why you would go on the show 418 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: and kind of like be a voice for those people 419 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: because it's it's exhilarating and there's so much potential behind 420 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: these people. It's it's amazing to be a part of it. 421 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: Did you always set out when you started to go 422 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: I can do music? Did you just always set out 423 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: to go down the Christian lane? No, It's funny. Whenever 424 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: I was sick, like back in that season, when I 425 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: was really sick, I would always say, God, I'll do music. 426 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: But I never want to sing Christian music. I like 427 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: did not want to be a part of that at all. 428 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: One is because I did not want my friends to 429 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: make fun of me. Um. I was so against that. 430 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: It was just because I wanted, um, something sonically different, 431 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: and I didn't know if what I like, what I 432 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,719 Speaker 1: really loved, would fit that format. Um. But I knew 433 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: that the hope that I was given when I was sick, 434 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: because like I would have these crazy dreams like I 435 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: thought I was having cabin fever, like losing my mind, 436 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: you know. Um, but I would have these dreams and um, 437 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: while I was while I was at home, and it 438 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: would be of me on stage or what'sin a ward 439 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: or art or song or whatever, and they were so 440 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: vivid and so real. Um. And then like years later 441 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 1: when they actually started happening, I was like Oh my gosh, 442 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: these are these are those dreams that I was shown 443 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: like when I was like fifteen and sixteen. Um. And 444 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: so I think the hope that I was given during 445 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: that time to just hang on and I would research 446 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: all like so many stories about different actors or business 447 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: owners that went through a really hard time. Um, how 448 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: did they overcome it? How did they use their difficulty 449 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: or the obstacle um to be kind of a platform 450 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: in which they launched from instead of like the space 451 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: that overcame them. Um. And in that I found just 452 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: so much hope in Jesus. And so I remember saying, 453 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to sing Christian music, but I want 454 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: to sing music that brings hope to people. And then 455 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: the first record label that called was a Christian label, 456 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: and I was like, well, this is an open door. 457 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: And they've been so kind and they've been such great 458 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: partners the entire way. It's been wonderful. You did mission 459 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: work too, right, um, a little bit. I went to 460 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: I feel like I do more mission work now, which 461 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: is funny. But I went to um Africa once, who 462 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: went and visited some hospital old and then I went 463 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: to Brazil helped build a church when I was like eighteen. Um. 464 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: But and then went to Tuscaloosa when all the tornadoes 465 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: came through and helps clean up and do things like that. 466 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: One fun thing when I was a kid there. This 467 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: is pretty awesome. Myum my parents are just there are 468 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: people that would just give the shirt off their back, 469 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: you know. And Katrina came through and wiped out in 470 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: New Orleans when we were in Lafayette two hours away, 471 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: and so a lot of people in New Orleans came 472 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: to Lafayette to kind of seek refuge with nothing. I mean, 473 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: they had nothing. And people think that the quarantine is 474 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: is intent, and it is and it's I was telling 475 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: a friend, how similar to Katrina that that dis quarantine 476 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: is because we had no waters, no water in the 477 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: um you know, grocery stores, all the gas was out 478 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: and things like that. Um, just because so many people 479 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: were trying to get as much as it possibly could. Well. 480 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: UM my parents went and made these huge parts of 481 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: gumbo and brought us down to the Red light district 482 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: as like you know kids, we were probably ten years 483 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: old maybe and um brought us down to the red 484 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: light district and we served gumbo. We would go and 485 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: knock on all the motel doors and say see that 486 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: table down there, that there's free gumbo down there. Come 487 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: on down. We got potatoes, salt and gumbo. We'll serve you. 488 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: And so you'd see all these people just coming out 489 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: of their hotel rooms, motel rooms or whatever. And it 490 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: was so special just to see such a diverse and 491 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: unique group of people coming together over food and in 492 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: a time that everything felt chaotic and wild. And I 493 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: think that that built love for humanity inside of me, 494 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: you know, in a way that sometimes words don't. Sometimes 495 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: you have to experience it um like that, like where 496 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: it's really real. So yeah, those are some of the 497 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 1: mission stories from when I was a kid. And I'm 498 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: always curious about when songs start to cross over because 499 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: it happens where I come from the country, and I've 500 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: worked on the formats too, But when your song starts 501 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: to cross over and go from big in the Christian 502 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: world and Christian radio to pop radio, how wide does 503 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: your reach get and how quickly does that happen? Yeah? 504 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: That was wild. So it happened very organically, honestly, Like 505 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: whenever whenever I put out Look Up Child the record. Um, 506 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: I didn't have a mainstream label or anything like that 507 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: to kind of crossover across the record over um and 508 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: you say, was on Christian radio at the time, and 509 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: then main mainstream program directors would just start playing it. 510 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: And a lot of the program directors that I talked to, 511 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: you said, their wives would come in and say, I 512 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: heard this song on Pandora or Spotify or whatever. Can 513 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: you play this on the record. I just love it. 514 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: I just think that you would love this, and I 515 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: think people would love And it was a lot of 516 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: wives honestly that you know, got it on there, which 517 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: is really funny. But um, so organically they started adding 518 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,479 Speaker 1: the song and after that I was like, okay, well, 519 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: well we gotta get a mainstream radio team, so we signed. 520 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of funny we actually signed to the record 521 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: label after it was already starting to get onto the radio, 522 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: onto mainstream radio. And the difference, Uh, when something like 523 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: that happens, it it takes it from one one people 524 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: group and spreads it so far and wid um And 525 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: you know, the craziest thing is when you're like you're 526 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: in Europe or you're in all of these random continent 527 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 1: countries and people are singing the words to your songs, 528 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: so emphatically, like in a way that I'm like, oh 529 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: my gosh. These people have lived with this music, they 530 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: have absorbed this music as their own. And I think 531 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: that's what's so profound about crossing over is the numbers multiply, 532 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: pretty intensely, um, as far as the amount of people 533 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: that you're you're able to reach. I was looking at 534 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: some of the stuff you're you were talking about, and 535 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: you talk about the Price Fund, which I think is 536 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: very interesting. Would you talk about that for a second, 537 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: The Price Fund, which is the school the school launches. Yes, 538 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: oh that okay. So the sweet girl who works on 539 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: the management team, her name is Liz, and she said, Lawrence, 540 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: there's um a lot of things going on with these 541 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: kids who um aren't they're they're used to getting lunches 542 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: every at school or breakfast every day at school. Um, 543 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: and now that school is being shut down temporarily, you know, 544 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: they don't have a way of getting food. And um, 545 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: there was this picture on I followed this Instagram feed 546 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: called Nolan News, and um, Nolan News posted this little 547 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: girl she's like three years old and it said where 548 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: a family in need, anything helps, and like the caption 549 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: was the mother had just gotten laid off from her 550 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: philebotomy job, um, and they were just trying to get 551 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: anything they could.

So I'm pretty pumped. People were really generous. 557 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of times, you know, people 558 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: get scared in times like these, People are unsure in 559 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,719 Speaker 1: times like these. Um. But to see people say, you know, 560 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let the fear control this. I men 561 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: still give and help people that that need it, you know. 562 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: And so I'm so excited.

For me, my charitable pursuits run me straight 596 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: into education because that's my family business. My parents were 597 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: lifelong educators. So I started to school about five years 598 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: ago down the street called the Piscopal School of Nashville, 599 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: and it keeps me pretty busy when I'm not on 600 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: the road. Um. So it's been really fun, not only 601 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: for my own kids, but creating a distance learning program 602 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: for all of the kids in the school. Uh. And 603 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: then on Friday will be the first time that I 604 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: do Instagram Live for the school kids and do some 605 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: story time and some music as well. You started a school, 606 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: I had no idea. Yeah, this is true. You didn't 607 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: want to name at the kid's newest Episcopal school, and 608 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: you didn't want to name at the Catch School of 609 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 1: Arts or you know, Catch Middle School and nothing like that. No, man, no, 610 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: I uh, it's not for my own glory, that's for sure. 611 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 1: If I did I would have picked something a lot easier. Man, 612 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: last time we saw each other was I think side 613 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: stage at the Opery. And so it's always good. It's 614 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,399 Speaker 1: always good to see you because I tell you, when 615 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,439 Speaker 1: you guys play, talking about ol Crow that is, I mean, 616 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: it's like a party on stage. I would compare it, 617 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: and I've compared it in interviews to watching when a 618 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: hip hop artist gets on stage and they're like, he 619 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 1: has like a guys on stage with him. This going 620 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: They're all going, yeah, yeah, except you guys are doing that, 621 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: except you all are supremely skilled with your instruments and vocals. 622 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: Like it is just a site to be seen whenever 623 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: you get to see an Old Crow performance. And I've 624 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 1: been able to see you guys play at the Opera 625 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: a few times, but not out on the road. What 626 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: is the what what's an Old Crow show like out 627 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 1: on the road. Well, let's say it's a lot wilder 628 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 1: than it is at the Opry, because you know, the 629 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: Oprey is at largely a tourist craft, and you know, 630 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: folks are a little bit more presentable. They get dressed 631 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,240 Speaker 1: up and um at Old Crow show to get drunk. 632 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: I have a wild time and uh, and they throw down. Um, 633 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: and so you you'll see, you'll the spirit just almost 634 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: raises the roof when we play out on the road. 635 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: And I can't tell you. I'm sure you're doing a 636 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: lot of interviews with guys and gals right now who 637 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: are saying the same thing. We just can't wait to 638 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: get back to the people. Yeah. You know, I was 639 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: kind of reading about the infancy of All Crow and 640 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: it says that you guys started busking on street corners 641 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: and the late nineties. But who is you guys? Like, 642 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: who are the ones that were busking? Uh? Well, it's funny, Bobby. 643 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,359 Speaker 1: But at this point, you know, it's been twenty one, 644 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: maybe twenty two years now when we started, So this 645 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: is our twenty second year of operation.

Yeah, I guess so it Uh yeah, 651 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: it feels I mean it feels right because you know 652 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,320 Speaker 1: it was my idea and I mean somebody had to 653 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: keep it all together. Um, And I missed my guys 654 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 1: from long ago, and I missed my guys from recently. 655 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: And I love all of the members that have come 656 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: through the ranks, and we've launched careers and we've you know, 657 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: we've just been we've stuck it out, and uh, I'm 658 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: a stick it out kind of guy. So you know, 659 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: it makes sense that I that I'd still be here. 660 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,959 Speaker 1: But man, it is a it's I always thinking when 661 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: when I think about a question like that, I always 662 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,720 Speaker 1: thinking about Merle Haggard saying that a rife in country 663 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: music is like a fifty year bus ride. Yeah, when 664 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: you guys are playing back then, what are you what 665 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: songs are you busting with? Like? What what's catch? At 666 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: the infancy of all crow busking on the street corner 667 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: with what songs well about me? Back then, there was 668 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,720 Speaker 1: this really kind of umu strong ideology to the band 669 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,919 Speaker 1: that we were here to preserve old time Mountain music 670 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: at all costs and protected from the perils of all 671 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: other commercial country forms, including bluegrass and other things that 672 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: we're not pure true vine stuff. Now I think about 673 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,319 Speaker 1: that attitude now, twenty two years later, and I think 674 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 1: I love music. I just want to sing. I don't 675 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: care what it is. But when I was eighteen, it 676 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: had to be old times string band music or nothing. 677 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,280 Speaker 1: And that's what Old Crow was out on the corner 678 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: playing with square dance music from the nineteen center, if 679 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 1: you can believe it, in the late nineties. So your 680 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: parents put what kind of influence on you, because you know, 681 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: most teenagers aren't playing old Mountain string music. Yeah, there 682 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: wasn't so much. My parents. I mean, my parents are 683 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: the ones that taught me how to I mean in 684 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: my educational background, and so it was really helped me 685 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,799 Speaker 1: with this. You know, the same kind of guy that 686 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,760 Speaker 1: can keep an old time string band from a curb 687 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: to a to uh arena, as we've done largely as 688 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: an opener. We don't play a lot of arenas, but 689 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: when we've played to some big crowds, um and uh. 690 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 1: The same kind of spirit that allowed me to do 691 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: that is also the same spirit that could help me 692 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 1: start a school. Because what you need to start in 693 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: the music business is luck and and a divine talent 694 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: and patience and faith and commitments. And it turns out 695 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,760 Speaker 1: those are actually the same prerequisites for starting a school 696 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: as well. Um. But for me, the reason I went 697 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: with old time music in my teens. Wasn't because of 698 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,359 Speaker 1: my parents, but it was because I played punk rock 699 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: and suddenly I made this transition to old time string 700 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: band music. And it felt so much like the same 701 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:39,399 Speaker 1: rabble rousing, all for one, guts and glory, last man 702 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: standing kind of you know it. To me, it was 703 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 1: like social distortion or the Ramons. I just felt I 704 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: felt a raw intensity to to the fiddle and the 705 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: banjo working together and shouting out those lyrics. Yeah, I'm 706 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: reading here too about Wagon will and which Now it's 707 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,879 Speaker 1: for me. It's in two generations because I didn't know 708 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 1: that Dylan part. I know, it wasn't even a full 709 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: song to you guys, got it, but I knew you guys. 710 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: And then I knew again when Darius did it a 711 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: country but you were seventeen years old. Is that true 712 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: whenever you got ahold of Wagonwell, yeah, my my buddy Critter, 713 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 1: who's who is a founding member of OA Crow who 714 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: just retired last year. Um, Critter brought me this bootleg 715 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: when I was in you know, a junior in high school. Um, 716 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: and it had this you know, we were listening to 717 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: so much Bob then it was like we were at 718 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: the school of Bob Dylan, um, and so I heard 719 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 1: this bootleg and and I just knew it was a hit. 720 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: And so I wrote some quick dashed off some lyrics, 721 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: and then I had this song. But the story got 722 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 1: even richer when I went to publish it, because it 723 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: turns out because Bob Dylan said, sure, we'll split a 724 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: fifty fifty. But by the way, Bob says he didn't 725 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: write it. Bob said he learned it's it's a traditional 726 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,359 Speaker 1: song that he learned from Arthur Crudup. Now big Boy 727 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: Crudup was from Memphis, a rhythm and blues player, and 728 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: he's the guy that first recorded the song. Or oh 729 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,439 Speaker 1: that's all right, mama, that Elvis made such a big hit. Well, 730 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: then it turned out that big Boy crowd Up didn't 731 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: lay claim to the song either. He attributed it to 732 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 1: Big Bill Bruns, a generation earlier from Mississippi who moves 733 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: to Chicago. So, anyway, if you believe that story, that then, 734 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 1: in its near century long gestation, Wagon Wheels sees a 735 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: shared authorship among three African Americans, Jewish musical icon and me. 736 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: That's how far it took to get to Darius and 737 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,919 Speaker 1: to go number one. Unbelievable story. But when you get it, 738 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: it's not complete. If there were all of these writers 739 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: on it, how come the song wasn't complete? Catch I 740 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,760 Speaker 1: was missing that part about Johnson City and the Hitchhike contribute. 741 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 1: It was missing the odyssey. It had this framework. But 742 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 1: you know, and what makes the song really beautiful to 743 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,240 Speaker 1: me is that it's an example of a true folk song. 744 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 1: I mean, it took people that that couldn't even sit 745 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 1: down at the same lunch counter together to become a 746 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: hit for the biggest African American star in country music. 747 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: So you have it, you write it? Do you? Ever, 748 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: how long did you actually get to talk to Bob 749 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: Dylan in human life? I've never met the man, Bobby. 750 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 1: You still haven't met him. Unbelievable. Now, I've never met him. 751 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: But one time, one time after after we were we 752 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,359 Speaker 1: have done a lot of work with Mumford and Sons 753 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 1: and UH and Mumford's were on the Grammys and we 754 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: were out at one of our guys was out at 755 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: the graham Is hanging out with the Mumford boys and 756 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,280 Speaker 1: they did this big mash up one year with Dylan 757 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: and the Avid brothers and they're all hanging out before 758 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: this rehearsal, and Bob is and then my friend from 759 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: Old Crow is talking with with Tebow and Burnett and 760 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 1: he sing, yeah, I'm from Old Crow. Remember we just 761 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 1: did that project together on that Buildman Roal movie that 762 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 1: never came out. When all of a sudden, a shadowy 763 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 1: figure lurking in the corner comes forth and says I 764 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 1: lit Old Crow, and uh and gil my buddy and 765 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,479 Speaker 1: Old crowsish man, I'm an Old Crow.

I had 771 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: to approve a couple of lyric changes, but they were 772 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,800 Speaker 1: just written on paper or in an email or whatever. 773 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: So um, the first time I heard it was on 774 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 1: WSN and two thousand and thirteen, and I wept great, 775 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: big muddy tears and just felt like, uh, I just 776 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: said Harry Loujah, and I still say it.

My kids and I heard 785 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:21,359 Speaker 1: the sirens go off at on the morning of Super Tuesday. Uh. 786 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 1: And I looked out the window and there was no wind, 787 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 1: and I thought, oh my god, this is gonna be 788 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: something a lot worse than a tornado. We went downstairs 789 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 1: when the wind started whipping, uh, and the kids screamed 790 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 1: and it was really intense and and I and then 791 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 1: it passed. And I turned and I said, I bet, 792 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 1: I bet. Let's say a prayer, honey, because I know 793 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people might have been killed by this 794 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,839 Speaker 1: somewhere in Kentucky. Little did I know when I got 795 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,320 Speaker 1: up the next morning that it was two blocks away 796 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: from my house, literally two blocks. Um. You know, I 797 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 1: lived right by the Five Points neighborhood. You know, we 798 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 1: frequent the very community that has been destroyed um. And 799 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 1: so it was really easy to feel deep empathy. I 800 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,280 Speaker 1: didn't have power for a week, and same with others, 801 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,280 Speaker 1: and and along with my friends in my school and 802 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: and other colleagues, we went right out and pitched in 803 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,800 Speaker 1: and East Nashville, North Nashville, up in Mount Juliet, UM 804 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 1: and checked in with friends up in Putnam County where 805 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: so much terrible damage was done about a week after 806 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 1: the storms hadn't been out there. And you know, bringing 807 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 1: in cutting cutting up wood and bringing roof materials out 808 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 1: to curbs and doing that work, that's that makes you 809 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,360 Speaker 1: feel so good. I wanted to do more, and so 810 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,919 Speaker 1: I one more end. Saturday morning, I took a walk 811 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,400 Speaker 1: and I saw the East End Methodist Church UM, and 812 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: it was I'm gonna get choked up and start crying. 813 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: It was so intensely destroyed and stained glass sitting there 814 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 1: hanging on and you can see right into the you 815 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: can see the pulpit from the from the road. It's 816 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: just smithereens uh. And I went home and wrote this 817 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 1: song real quick. And then this was the day before 818 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 1: the national quarantine was announced. UM. Now we still made 819 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 1: the record about six ft apart, because that's sort of 820 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 1: what you do in a studio anyway, we called Molly 821 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 1: Toddle up. We got a few members of Old Crow 822 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 1: had a brand new song that was eighteen hours old, 823 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 1: and then we just sung it and then we sent 824 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,759 Speaker 1: it out to our buddies because then by then the 825 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,359 Speaker 1: quarantine was in and uh and so a bunch of 826 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 1: Old Crows were recorded remotely, and then some special guests 827 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 1: from the East Nashville community also lended a voice. Then 828 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 1: we worked it out with the Community Foundation to U 829 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 1: to have a fundraising initiative, and then we had a 830 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 1: great time making this video for it. UM largely made 831 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: up a cell phone photos that many of which I took, 832 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 1: or UM friends from my school took from just living 833 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 1: here in East Nashville where there's so much destruction. Proceeds 834 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: from the song will directly benefit the Community Foundation of 835 00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee's Emergency Response Fund. Wow, the whole the whole 836 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,319 Speaker 1: story is crazy. So how is it over? Buy your 837 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: house now? Because isn't it weird that the tornado hits 838 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,319 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden the coronavirus hits and 839 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: it's like the focus has just been shifted so quickly. Yeah, 840 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: it certainly feels really strange. I think anywhere in the 841 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 1: world right now, but here in at least in East 842 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 1: Nashville where I live. Um, there's I mean, there's rubble everywhere. 843 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like it went away here and 844 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 1: the cameras went away. Um, a bunch of the volunteers 845 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 1: are or well, of course you can't do it anymore. 846 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,880 Speaker 1: You've got to social distancing. So it's like it's the 847 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: rebuilders on pause. But the way I've been thinking about 848 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:45,360 Speaker 1: about the isset, our community had a kind of a precursor, 849 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,440 Speaker 1: like we had a we got to sneak a peek 850 00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 1: behind the curtain at what was coming and what did 851 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 1: it make us do? It made us unite. The tornado 852 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: brought us so close together, when now coronavirus has brought 853 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: us six ft apart. But we are still united, and 854 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 1: we've got a head start on the kind of unity 855 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: that our nation is gonna need right now. We got 856 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 1: a head start on it in Nashville. So when I 857 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 1: think about Nashville Strong, and when I think about Nashville Rising, 858 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,400 Speaker 1: I think about that for everybody around the country, around 859 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,280 Speaker 1: the world, because of our getting through this natural disaster, 860 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 1: we're we are better equipped to handle this second one. Well, Catch, 861 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: you've convinced me. I was on the fence. I was like, 862 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:27,880 Speaker 1: I don't know will we make it, But now I 863 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 1: believe we will after that speech right there, Catch, I'm 864 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 1: totally in baby. Mean, hey, do you let your kids 865 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 1: watch Netflix? Catch? Uh? You know, I just i'd call 866 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: it on my landlan because I just got a smartphone. Um, 867 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 1: I've been sort of in the dark here, but I 868 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,640 Speaker 1: just got Instagram and all this other stuff and it 869 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 1: really worked out well. Um, because I'm starting to do 870 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,520 Speaker 1: stuff on Instagram now that I can't tour anymore. But no, 871 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,239 Speaker 1: I to answer your question, Mr Bones, I have not 872 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,720 Speaker 1: gotten Netflix yet. That's all right. Well, I was wondering, because, 873 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,359 Speaker 1: you know, just knowing of you outside in real life 874 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 1: land a little bit, I knew you probably didn't, but 875 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,680 Speaker 1: I didn't know if quarantining had opened your eyes to 876 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 1: the vast amounts of media there is to consume for 877 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 1: your children.
