1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Hello, they're my friend. That welcome to love someone with Delilah.

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: You know, I've often mentioned that country music it's a

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: very special place in my heart. For those of you

4
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: who have not heard this from me before, you might

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: not know that I come from from a music filled childhood,

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: specifically mostly country music. My parents were close with two

7
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: other families that we considered family. I mean, they were friends,

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: but they were family closer than family. We spent most

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: weekends in each other's company. It often involves some kind

10
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: of project that the adults worked on together. They did

11
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: home remodeling together, fence repairs, fishless fishing trips. That'd go

12
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: on fishing trips, but they never brought any fish home.

13
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: And kids. There were four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: of us. Nine kids underfoot, ten kids doing crazy things

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: that kids do while parents are otherwise occupying. Dinners were

16
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: rambunctious and delicious affairs. Lots of Southern fried chicken that

17
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: was Mom's specialty, baked beans, fresh baked bread. Everyone loved

18
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: my mom's homemade pizza. After dinner, the men and one

19
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: of the women would settle down with their guitars and

20
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: their playbooks filled with hits by Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard,

21
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: Marty Robbins, Charlie Pride, Hank Williams, and they would begin

22
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: hours long jam sessions till the middle of the night.

23
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: Early in the morning, us kids nine and all would

24
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: still be up to our high jinks, but tired from

25
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: a long day. Our muscles and mine would relax. The

26
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: music soaked into us, becoming a part of us, even

27
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: if we were unaware at the time of its profound

28

76
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: so many you know, artists back in the day that

77
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: spent their whole life on the road and just had

78
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: great stories to tell. Realie Nelson come in, come on,

79
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: you know he could. One of my favorite songs, one

80
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: of my favorite songs that he recorded that Chrisker Stopson

81
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: wrote take the Ribbon from Shake and Loose and Let

82
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: It Fall Oh, my gosh, such great music. And I

83
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: assume you were raised on the same just listening to

84
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: your songs and your lyrics. You had to have been

85
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: raised on the same kind of poetry set to music. Yes, yes, absolutely,

86
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: And that was the stuff, you know, is that Willie

87
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: and some of those love songs that Kenny Rogers. My

88
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: daddy listened to. He listened a lot of vocal groups

89
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: because he was like, you know, gospel kind of quartet stuff.

90
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: So like he was way into Alabama and Oakwards Boys

91
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: and the Statler Brothers and stuff like that. To the harmonies.

92
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: And my mama and her sisters all, you know, they

93
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: sang every harmony there was and they even made a

94
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: Nashville record when they were kids, you know. And so

95
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: I grew up with my mom and her aunt doing

96
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: all the singing, and so I learned harmonies in every

97
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: which way, shape and form from from them and singing

98
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: in church and and so that's the roots right there.

99
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: Everyone in my family, there are four kids and my folks.

100
00:06:54,040 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: Everyone in my family is musical except me. I cannot.

101
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: I cannot carry a tune in a bucket if it

102
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: only had four notes. And I think the reason I

103
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: figured out because that there's not many things I cover

104
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: it like, I've never coveted things. I could care less

105
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: about things. Um. When I was younger, I coveted a husband.

106
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: I wanted a good husband because the ones I found

107
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: were rotten to the bone. But but the one thing

108
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 1: I coveted and I still do, I mean, I confess

109
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: it all the time is musical talent. And I think

110
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: the reason that God said no to that is because

111
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: I have such a bad ego, and I think he

112
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: knew if I had that gift, I would abuse it,

113
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: um and and put myself in harm's way. Boll. I'll

114
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: tell you you know, it's easy to do if you're

115
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: coming out young and you got music and um, and

116
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: you could find yourself. And there's been plenty of people

117
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: I know, and myself included who you know. You find

118
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: yourself doing your dream, which is basically all you ever

119
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: could dream of is playing music for a living, right,

120
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: writing songs for a living, for producing playing songs live,

121
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: and then you can find yourself in a quickly if

122
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: you let yourself, you can find yourself in a place

123
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: to where all of a sudden, music isn't the most

124
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: important thing. And that's when you catch yourself and go away. Um,

125
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, uh, it's nothing, has nothing to do with

126
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: with fame, has nothing. I always had everything to do

127
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: with the music, and so you know, luckily I was

128
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: able to catch myself. And I've got a bunch of

129
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: friends have been through it, and they they said, manage

130
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: And I could always tell, like I could tell if

131
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: they were going through it, maybe a patch and like

132
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden their music change, even

133
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: their look, their field of looking there out of twinkling

134
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: their eye, and I'm like, you're back, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

135
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: I kind of caught myself, you know, falling off that

136
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: edge and realized and that that that the music was

137
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: always what it was supposed to be about, and then

138
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it wasn't. You know, whenever you

139
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: make it a business and then you start having fun,

140
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: you get on the road and make it about fame

141
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: or money or anything like that, and none of that

142
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: has anything to do with what we all dreamed about

143
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: when we were kids, you know, and listen to some

144
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: music that we love and so so yeah, I mean

145
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: that can happen pretty quickly. I've taken piano lessons, I've

146
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: taken music lessons. I've taken vocal lessons from three different

147
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: vocal coaches and they all say the same thing. Stick

148
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: with your nighttime job. You know, a lot of a

149
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: lot of musicians, including myself, A big piece of y

150
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: love to do music is because I love people to

151
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: hear it, right, I want them to hear my heart

152
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: through music, and that would be mostly through my songs,

153
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: but of course I found outside songs, and so a

154
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: little bit of a I just gotta tell you this,

155
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: I think we we are a lot of like in

156
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: that way. You know, you might not be a singer,

157
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: but you're sharing your music and your musical heart with

158
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: with people, and you have been for so long and

159
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: you have influenced so many lives, including mine, and um,

160
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: you just want to you just want to impact people,

161
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, and that's that's a big part of why

162
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: most of us do this. Now we'll say the whole

163
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: some of us who are kind of meant to be

164
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: on that stage, you know, like we're missing those live

165
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: shows right now, you know, we're missing that piece of

166
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: us as a whole, a little bit a little hole

167
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: in our hearts, like wanting to get out there and

168
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: see people's faces when whenever we're playing that guitar and

169
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: in or playing that piano and and and seeing that

170
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,440

Speaker 1: It's so I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you

190
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: where the song came from. My co writer. We were

191
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: talking that morning, we were going to write, and he said,

192
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: now you know we got any duds? He said, well,

193
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: I got you know, this happened this morning, and he

194
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: would be proceeded to tell me that he got up

195
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: early and you know, and he had a TV young

196
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: watching the news and his four year old, little Dallas,

197
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: walked in and said, hey, Daddy, can we turn the

198
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: TV off? And Dallas, my my friend, Dallas said, said

199
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: my co writer, Well said yeah, I mean cand son,

200
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: but like wow, like what you know, wy would you

201
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: want why would you want me to turn the TV off?

202
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: You know? And uh a little Dallas, his four year

203
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: old son, said, well, because it's it's scaring me. Well,

204
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: Dallas was watching the news and the heck, if you

205
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: really think about it, at the time, in the beginning

206
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: of this this pandemic and this whole thing, everything on

207
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: that TV was scary even to an adult, much left

208
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: a four year old. You know, so many cases and

209
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: so many of this mat depths and not in the

210
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: danger and all the stuff. And so it hit Dallas

211
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: how much that impacted that moment with his son, and

212
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: he said, you know, and I always said, was hey, world,

213
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: leave me alone, and it and it wasn't anything. You know.

214
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: We we we kind of struggle a little bit with

215
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: we don't want to make people think, we don't want

216
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: to like beunify, to be together. But you know, even

217
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: ten years ago and ten years from now, there are

218
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: times when this world gets moving so fast that everybody

219
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: at some time wants just a second. They want to breathe,

220
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: They want a minute. You know, you need a minute

221
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: to yourself and to understand and maybe reevaluated, rEFInd yourself

222
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: in a in in a quiet space, you know, and

223
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: let and hear the wind and see that you know

224
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: the stuff the song talks about, and and listen to

225
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: the pines. I love that. You know. That's where we

226
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: went the song and we said, you know this the

227
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: song really does. Yes, obviously it comes from this moment, right,

228
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: but truthfully, it could have been twenty years ago or

229
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: twenty years from now, and like it's on. You know,

230
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: I think a piece of this whole thing. You know,

231
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: maybe God was saying, you know, you guys are going

232
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: too fast. I need to slow you guys down. I

233
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: need a lot of you to look up and see

234
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: what's important right and and not take so many things

235
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: for grant and and and take advantage of some of

236
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: the small things I give you every day. And I

237
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: think it has for pro most of I find I

238
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: think most of the whole world has realized and learned

239
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: a lot of those little things that are really actually

240
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: big things, you know. And And so we didn't really

241
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: we just wrote it how we would write it, you know.

242
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: And we I didn't know what was gonna happen. And

243
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: then I met blessing and and and a whole new

244
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: level came into the song, you know, and just um

245
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: it was. It was a special song. And actually I

246
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: was supposed to play on a on a big network

247
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: show my new, brand new single, right and I decided

248
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: which label wasn't too happy about at the time, But

249
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: I decided that the world and the moment needed to

250
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: hear Hey World. So I played Hey World instead last minute,

251
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: didn't tell anybody, and they couldn't turn the cameras office time.

252
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: I love that you don't need my label blowing up

253
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: my phone and my manner to go what are you?

254
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: What are you doing? What are you doing? In your

255
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: new single, You're supposed I said, well, I felt like

256
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: the world needs to hear it. And because you know,

257
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, I didn't know if it was gonna

258
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: be able to reach the ready or reach this or that.

259
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: It was just a song we'd written and it wasn't

260
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: even supposed to be on the record, and then it

261
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: ended up being the title of the record because right now,

262
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: that's where I am, and that's what my records are

263
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: all about, is where I'm at or I'm out of

264
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: my life at that point in time, you know, and

265
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: those those last year or two and and so, Hey

00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: World has been a very special song since day one,

267
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: and and it's real, and it's it's kind of like
