The Kaden Gordon Show today's best country mix coming up here. We got some interviews with the Terry Newman project
Katie Linnendahl
QL of landfill and Michael Austin so stay tuned you are listening to the Kaden Gordon show today's best country mix
Hello and welcome to the Kaden Gordon show today's best country mix joining me right here today is Terry from the Terry Newman project Terry
How are you?
Well, I'm fine. Hello
I'm going well
That's so nice to hear so why don't we get started by getting to know you a little bit and how you got started in
the music industry
Well, it started very young and
playing guitar and singing and I did loads of
well gigs everywhere and well most in Europe and then I
I started with my first record a long time ago. I had a record
company who gave me a deal and a
bit famous band took me up and then we started and later on I
went a lot of live shows and well, it's always the grass is growing all the time and like saying
so I mean
It's music. It's in yeah, it's in your veins and you love it and you never stop with it
so that's why I took it second chance and more chances to get more records out and
Well, I'm going next week for the third single and so on. So I hope to get a nice album together
And that's a bit of story. I got my
My bass player Don Skiff is based in California
and
while the last
singer-songwriter
Producer is David Hershey's in Liverpool. So we're all over the place and
Since we have the internet and then studios we can send our
Products to each other and well, we mix it and then we have a nice record out. So it's going for the lifetime
Come together and play life. That's what the plan is
with this band
If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about?
Um
I
Didn't get really that question if somebody is going to write a song about me
Yes, what would they write about? I
Think the passion and I think
the way of how I sing probably and
like to be a good person good for another person and
Well have it all on the on the good spot and I think it's maybe it's a little bit
cliche, but
Well, hey, whatever to be a good person. I think it's not really to be shamed of so I
Think it would be like that but
Well, did the guy who was having fun in the music and all this passion is there
So that's I think it gets a bit around that
Do you have any upcoming singles or projects you want to tell us a little bit about
Yeah, there's a new single coming baby blue and
It's
It's guessing a bit. It's it's more like
Someone loves the other one and it's all about love and I think we miss a bit
Really the love on each other at this moment because we're fighting and fussing and doing things
Well international everywhere. So it's a bit scary and I
Hope everybody gets a bit in a row and and does it a bit better? So a good love song and a good
Opportunity
To do to have each other on a good side?
Probably is a good way to do
but baby blue is
Well, it's a nice new thing. The other one walked me through the fire was with Tully Winfield and Don Skriven
Lance Matthew, it's more for me cover. I asked Don
Do you have a sound a song for me? What I probably could sing?
and so it went with David Hershey with the with
Cherish the Sun so it's one two three coming up and it's going well
We're going very nice
What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music whether that be singing songwriting
What would be the advice?
I would say discover what you have in yourself and be yourself
Don't try to do what you're not and do just what you feel and
Develop where your heart is and make it
May work for yourself. That is probably the best thing. I mean
You can try to be as good as somebody who is your who you like so much
But if it's not in you then you will never get that so try to be yourself
That's the most important thing and follow your dream
Never let it go
Where do you see yourself and the project in the next couple years or where do you see yourself?
I want to be touring a bit and I want to have well a nice
form of row songs together that
That works the crowd and I would love if I'm going to play live
That you just
Put the microphone in the air and people sing
I would love to have a nice
You just put the microphone in the air and people sing it. That is my biggest compliment that they know the songs and
That will be fantastic. That
That's a bit the dream as well what I had before and I did lots of gigs, but there was loads of covers
And I know everybody knows the songs. Otherwise, yeah, you don't have the time to
To spread like now do so I hope it's coming there where I want
If people want to learn more about you, where can they find you?
Well, it's on the terry newman project. I've got um, mr
melodic revolution records there. I have my record label and
And uh, it's a bit on spotify
iTunes is everywhere and there's also information to find on on bandcamp and
Well, there's always something to find and we put nice things up in the new website and it's coming with new video clips and
it's all coming up so if people like to find something about terry newman project and
They probably can find it
What do you like doing as that in music do you have any hobbies interests anything like that
Ah, okay. Yeah, well hobbies is uh
It's more like the music and then a bit mechanical things
repairing and uh
doing stuff up a motorcycle or a car or
It's just like filling out the hobbies. But most is the music. It's my heart is there and uh,
well, I breathe even and think always music so playing guitar and
What I did not do so much latest time but I pick it up again and going in the studio like next week and
Meet some other musicians and that's the main thing for me
If you had an opportunity to do it or collaborate with any singer who would you choose and why terry
I would
Say if somebody follows the heart what i'm following and just make well collaborate with with the music
side that i'm doing
Then this is most of most welcome. I I don't have a really particular
Uh idea over to get people who want it interested
Well with with the whole thing then I think it's good. I mean
If the people are nice, I like to work with anybody
Is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here on the show today
Not for me, I hope your show is doing well and uh, it was nice to uh
To have a chat and nice to to let myself known having me there in the show for to know me a bit a bit better. So
I'm happy i'm thrilled. I'm uh, i'm okay
So I'm happy to be here and uh, I'm happy to be here and uh, I'm happy to be here and uh,
I'm happy i'm thrilled. I'm uh, i'm okay. Thanks for all
Terry newman from the terry newman project. Thank you so much for taking the time to come on the kate and gordon show today's best country mix
We definitely appreciate your time and support. Thank you
Thank you so far. Bye. Bye. Hello and welcome to the kate and gordon show today's best country mix
Joining me right here today is katie linnendahl katie. How are you?
I'm doing great. How are you? I'm wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time to come on the show today
Oh, it is a blessing. Thank you for having me. It's good to be able to chat and talk all things country
Absolutely. So let's get started by getting to know you a little bit and uh how you get started in the music industry
Absolutely. Well, my dad is a drummer. I like to say my dad's way my parents are way cooler than I am
So I grew up in a house full of noise, which was awesome
And you know, i've been musically studying for vocally for about 20 years
And dabbling in guitar and music theory and piano
But it really wasn't until a few years ago that I just said, you know what you get one life
You get one spin one shot at this
And i'm going to put the blinders on and start sharing my music publicly
And my career which is crazy to explain to people really has been in television in consumer technology my background and degree
I'm a total nerd has been in it and working on some of the biggest tv shows showcasing the newest technologies
So when people had heard that I was like putting out music
And it was like starting a whole other career while I was still working in my tech career
They were like what what is going on? And I was like, you know what again you have one chance at life
And I think there's so many of us that have this side passion and this hobby and it's
For me, the music is so vulnerable because one of my favorite aspects of music creation is the songwriting process
And it's a lot of things about my life and I put it out there and you know started
Really just working with some of the most amazing producers
In nashville and the most amazing co-writers and bringing this music to life and every single song has been such a journey
But for me publicly sharing it all has really been only in the last few years
Which is pretty wild even though i've studied so so intensely over over decades
If someone wants to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about?
I might actually say it would be a song called the one that I already had that my country debut
Which was called renaissance lady because it is kind of this empowerment song
It's for my girls out there and I always like to say we love our men
We sure do but renaissance lady was a song that I wrote that says you know what like go after it
You can be everything that maybe you saw
In somebody that inspired you or a boyfriend or a guy you were dating or somebody that
Really had you in awe you can be that too
So renaissance lady has always been kind of anthemic if you will just kind of an anthem to
I guess a little bit to who I am and with with no ego and with humility but saying you know what go
go after your dreams and go after everything that you wanted to be because
You can you can be everything that you wanted to be all gone at work
What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music whether that be songwriting singing? What would you tell them katie?
I would tell them to to
Stop making it perfect and to hit the button because i've seen so many times, you know, just being
You know going through life and being wiser and having years of experience in a multitude of different things
That passions of mine from music to technology to tv
I think we all aren't ready to hit send on that post or upload or
Or ready to say that that song is good enough. You have to hit the button at some point
It's never going to be good enough. And for me, it's really just like
Kind of focusing on how like jesus didn't want anyone to be perfect. He doesn't expect perfection
and to just go for
The sending it out there and putting the blinders on people won't like it people will love it
Most people will love it. Most people will support you turn the blinders on to any anyone that's that's giving you anything negative
Which i'm going to tell you to it's going to be very very few people on that journey people want
To see people succeed and to be happy
And when you're sharing your passion and you're finally doing it publicly even though you've been putting it on the back burner for so long
It's such an amazing rewarding feeling
Katie I definitely agree and uh to keep in mind too. There always is going to be a hater. It's just reality. Yeah
That's a sign of success, right? Yes
Congratulations, like you are winning
You've really got to look at it into that mindset of okay, you got someone hating on you great you did your job
Yep. Yep, totally
Where do you see yourself in the next couple years? So where do you want to be?
Yeah, I am loving this process and it's with
Humility and just really at a stage in my life. We're kind of almost
Learning everything all over again from scratch and just having that grit
To figure things out that I don't know because i've been in the tv world for 20 years
And you know you you and i've started from the very bottom up
I started as a production assistant at espn before I now have been many many years on camera
And it's wild to start this journey almost like I was saying all over again
But it's so fun at the same time and I find such success in collaboration
And listening to people that are so much better than me
You know with the producers and the musicians that I work with I just listen and I think that's like one of the
The most important things in life is like surround yourself with people that are better than you and it's only going to make you better
But also like you might your idea might not always be the best idea like I am always
Adjusting and listening to people that are that are better than I am in this space and putting out great songs
Changing songs that in a way that I never thought they would be done before because they've been made better
And then also just using my strengths, too
I think one of the
One of the really cool parts of my music journey is the production side on the music videos and because I have this tv background
Just like coming in as a producer and having now two videos hit top 10 and all of itunes across all genres was super exciting
And I think our team was like small
Team just full of grit was just geeking out because it was like we did it like we felt so accomplished and so excited about that
And again, I was able to bring a lot of my strengths to the table in terms of production and bringing things to life
If people want to learn more about you, where can they find you?
Yes, you can find my music anywhere you stream music is at katie linendahl and also across the board on social
And uh, i'm big on ig, too
I have a music specific account katie linendahl music and I would love to hear from you
What do you like doing outside of music? Do you have any hobbies interests anything like that katie?
Oh, yeah, I am a big I I say I like i'm all about f-words and I say that
A little pun tug-of-the-cheek. I am all about faith family fitness
I'm a huge fitness girl lots of distance running strength and conditioning martial arts
and and i'm a big church girl, I still sing in church when I can and
You know every day I just try to pack if somebody saw my life
It's kind of like a reality show because I try to jam in every single minute of the day with productivity
And with with something that you know, i'm growing every day. I want to be better every single day at everything that i'm doing and
I study two different languages as well russian and spanish and it's exciting
I think you know, like again, I I think my one of my big things is you get one chance and you got to make the most of it
Absolutely, I definitely agree with that there
If you had one message to tell anyone that might be listening right now, what would that message be?
My message would be if for anyone listening, I think everybody has that side passion or that passion to listen to
that side passion or that
side project that they've always wanted to do
I think each one of us has it deep down and it's so fulfilling and it can be so strange and unique maybe
You know, but when people you tell people it but they're like, oh really?
I didn't know you were into glassblowing. I got this amazing friend in technology
He's one of the biggest players in technology. He's like a crazy glassblower and he's like incredible at it
He like wrote a book on it and i'm like, wow, that's amazing. Like who would have guessed
Don't let life pass you by
Go for it
And this could be something even if you wanted to learn a language or if you wanted to learn how to play guitar
Or if you wanted to get into the music industry
Don't wait any more time if you're looking for a sign. This is your sign take it on today
If you had an opportunity to duet or collaborate with any singer katie, who would you choose and why?
I would have to do a duet with somebody that inspired me growing up big time in the country music world
And that would be desica andrews and i'm going to throw it all the way back to a song called who I am
Which was just it's still and will always be on my playlist
I think that woman is gotten one of the most powerful voices
And I just can't when you know back in the days of cds and you know
She was just in running home from the bus to catch country music videos with a first were so
Instrumental and in my love of country music and I would have to say desica andrews
If you had an opportunity to play anywhere in the world, where would you go to play and uh, why?
I would have to pick my hometown of eerie, pennsylvania
Because I feel like I have a bone to pick. I like here's a here's a message for anyone listening. I
When I was in seventh grade, I I didn't make it into the eerie playhouse musical
I flopped so
It just goes to show you can come back with success and be like here I am
I'm going to sing that same song that I auditioned with you know what in all fairness I burned like
It was not good. It was not my best performance
So I wouldn't have picked me either but
I'd love to go back and just my hometown. I am big on my roots and where I came from and
Growing up in eerie pa taught me a lot about character and a lot about grace and grit and i'm very grateful for it
For sure for sure and katie is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here on the show today
I would like to mention that you're awesome and you're amazing and
Everybody needs to keep following you and you're amazing
And everybody needs to keep following you and all the great work that you're doing and I know I said this offline to you
But congratulations on all your success, too. You just made a made a name for yourself and congratulations
Thank you. I really do appreciate that and I really appreciate you katie for taking the time to come on the katie

Oh, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Hello and welcome to the katie gordon show today's best country mix joining me right here today
Is ql of landfill? How's it going? How's it going?
Oh, not too bad. Just uh hanging out just in the studio right now freaking
Yeah, just spend all night recording and
Let's see what happens
How you doing?
I'm doing great. Thanks. Thank you so much for asking
So let's get started by getting to know you a little bit and uh, how you got started in the music industry
Um, well I started kind of just because I found a piece of paper on the floor when I was in grade eight
I picked it up and uh friend of mine or now a friend of mine. He he's was just like hey
Can you pass it back? Those are some lyrics I wrote to a thought for a song. I just I don't know at that moment. I was just like
Normal people can make music. I I was in grade eight. I didn't know much about it and um
From there he got me on to the aftermath music.com forums
Where I met my producer and a couple other artists I still work with today without that was back when I was 14
I'm 34 now, so i've been making music for about 20 years
Um, I started writing lyrics on the forum and then slowly I got a little mic and I started recording
I mean, I didn't even know how to
Keep on time or keep on the beat. I didn't know what it was
I basically just talked on a beat the first couple songs I did
um
And then six months after I started like writing I got I found a an article in the newspaper
Uh for a program with that reskeuth where they helped them record
So I it was called emanate sound like mn8
and
Yeah, those guys they kind of sent me on my path. I am
They they told me they were student students of sound engineering at the art institute of vancouver
and then in grade eight after I
After I like hung out with them for months and months and like I actually worked with
One of the engineers in his own personal studio after the program shut down for a couple years after that until I was about 18 19
and then right after I
Right after I graduated high school when I was 18. I went to the art institute and I spent the next four years there
And yeah, i've just been making music ever since
Do you have any upcoming singles or projects you want to tell us a little bit about today?
Oh right now, um, I got a song called wicked ways that i'm doing with uh with an artist named sebi joho
um
it's actually uh
I'll send you the track after after this it's pretty it's a cool little track
It's I i've been doing a lot of emotional stuff lately just because like i'm an adult
Life is a headache. Um, but you know, I like to do uplifting stuff
This one is more like more more just bumping just like just fun and we made it in about four hours and it was just like
It was it's a really dope track. I really like how it turned out
If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about?
Oh god
Um three years in an australian prison
um
freaking
Saving my ex's life when she was a freaking addicted defend freaking
just helping people when I can but like
Yeah, no, I'm not
like
Yeah, no, I just
It would be about my a lot
I'm not even kidding. I was uh, if I ever got big I would be definitely selling movie rights
It's holy crap, man. But anyway, yeah, there's a lot to write about in my life
Do you have any advice to those who might want to start doing music whether that be sing singing songwriting anything like that
Learn to do everything yourself as much as possible without paying people
um
Like I didn't I never had the money to pay people so like I learned how to engineer myself
I learned how to do
Uh, like photo work. I learned how to do video work
Like I paid photographers and stuff like that here and there and like whoever I needed to but mostly I tried to learn the skills
people paid for
Like learn a bit of music theory if you can but like it's not it's not totally necessary
But if you want to sing play piano play guitar play anything
rap
just learn
the back end of the business learn learn how things actually work and just
I don't know
Do it because you love it. Don't do it because you think you're gonna get somewhere do it because it it
Keeps you going
What do you like doing us out of music do you have any hobbies
Interests anything like that that you would like to share with us here on the uh show
Music consumes your freaking life. This is
Um, like
I don't know. I just hang out with friends. I I don't drink much anymore like at all
They're just kind of phased out. I don't I used to party a bit, but like now i'm kind of calmed down
mostly just
I don't know just living day-to-day life trying to
Do the best that I can like
hobbies fishing camping like, you know the regular stuff just
Yeah, it's
Life gets boring when you become an adult not gonna lie
If you had an opportunity to travel anywhere and go to any venue, where would you go and why?
It's a hard one
I mean
Honestly, I don't know i've never really thought about that like I
I performed a lot but it was all around vancouver
um
I think I
I don't know. I I
I have no idea on that question. Like I
anywhere
Anywhere people will listen hell
I'd love to perform on streets of vancouver and just have a crowd actually. I did have that a long time ago
but I mean like just
Anywhere where people would want to hear me
I'm not gonna lie. Just if you want to hear me, I'd love to perform for you
Where can people find you on social media if they want to check you out
Um
So if you search up ql of landfill
Uh, i'm on everything spotify apple music these are tidal
Um, i'm on I mean I got my youtube channel
um
Like facebook like i'm on everything if you even just type me in a google search, you'll find a lot of my pages
If you had one message to tell anyone that might be listening right now, what would you tell them?
Learn to love yourself
It's like one of the hardest things to do when you come older and sounds cheesy whatever but
Like actually learning to care about yourself is one of the hardest things to do in life
You go through life just thinking that every day is going to be the same thing and then it all
either falls apart comes together or whatever but like
It's easy to seek external validation and validation from everybody else around you but
It's really hard to give yourself internal validation and not
Need to care what anybody else thinks and just know who you are
I think that's the biggest thing is just learn to love yourself
I agree with that and is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here on the show today
Um
Just I go by it just yeah not too much
But if you're looking me up ql the letters ql
of landfill
If you're wondering how I got that name. Well, my producers my producer goes by landfill productions
Um, I used to go by a different name, but it's
Yeah, uh, you can also search up q-rate l and rhythm. That's my old name
We actually have a track that freaking went up went off with freaking one of the uh, tick tock
videos that uh, whatever happened to the boy I once knew
Oh, no. Yeah, we used that sample in 2009 and it took off with capone. We got about
I don't know only like 40 000 plays on it on swatify, but like
Yeah that
The algorithms work. Yeah ql of landfill
Really? It's easy to find seriously
Not that difficult
But yeah, um, otherwise I can't think of too much
Ql of landfill. Thank you so much for taking the time to come on the catered ordnance show today's best country mix
We appreciate you so much. So thank you
No worries. Thanks. Thanks for having me on. Hello and welcome to the catered ordnance show today's best country mix
Joining me right here today is michael austin michael. How are you?
I'm doing great kid. And how you doing today? I'm doing all right. Thanks so much for uh coming on on the show today
Yeah, it's my pleasure. So let's get started by getting to know you a little bit and uh, how you got started in music
Well, uh, I was uh a whopping seven years old
I did my first paid performance in a little place called the liberty bar and grill in warsaw, missouri
Uh, I was out back, uh,
Behind this little place and there was a guy named orn nickels
Uh, i'm guessing he was about 19 or 20 years old at the time and he was picking on a guitar and I kept
Singing in with him every time he'd start one
And he said hey, he says, uh, do you know anything all the way through and I said, well, yes, sir
And he said what do you know and I said, well, I know kenny rogers coward of the county and mac davis lord
It's hard to be humble
And he says i'll tell you what he goes i'm gonna call you up there and if they like you i'll pay you
So I went back inside and my parents were mortified that he called me up
They had no idea what was going on and I sang those two songs and uh after it was all done
He passed the hat and he handed me a ten dollar bill which back then was a lot of money
So that's uh, that kind of kicked it off man. It was kind of crazy, but i've been in love with uh with doing it ever since
If you have any questions about the song, please leave a comment below
If you had an opportunity to duet or collaborate with any singer, who would you choose and why do you choose them?
Right now i'd have to go with laney wilson. Um, she's hotter than two dollar pistols. She's uh,
She's kind of like all over the place. I know she's done some stuff with uh with party and she's done stuff with jelly roll
I just think she's in a in a great spot in in her career and I love her voice man
I could I could listen to her all day. She's so authentic. So I think that's why I'd pick her
So, uh, yeah look at me now it's kind of like a little life story and
You know, like I said, there's something for everybody
There was a cut in there that was on hold with tim mcgraw, but I liked it so much
I decided to pull it back and ended up cutting it. So
Super excited about to see how that one does. But yeah, we've been having blasts. It's uh, the american dream and it's
You know on spotify and apple music and everywhere else you can get your streaming
If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about?
Oh man, that's you know what man i've been doing this a long time and that's
A great question. Let me put some thought behind that I think
Uh that they would write about determination loyalty
uh patriotism
You know that I think that's that's definitely the three things that should be included
for sure
If they had an opportunity to only write one specific thing about you, what do you think that they would choose out of those three?
Oh, man patriotism i'm a patriot through and through man
Man, there you go. I had to stump you there because that was a good answer. So
Oh, yeah, man, that's the good stuff right there
Walk me through a day of michael austin
So right now a day in my life is moving in my new house over here in mount juliet and uh,
You know making it a home. It's always a house when you start moving it
but it becomes a home when you put your stuff up and
So today it started I went out. I got a quarter acre backyard
So I I got on my my john deer and I mowed that and I mowed the front yard
Uh went for a walk with my dog. Gracie, which is always a must and uh, I think we walked three and a half four miles today
And then I came back and I started hanging pictures around the house and uh went and had some oscar's tacos for lunch
and now i've got uh my cable guys here and uh getting some work done getting my internet all set back up because
Living without internet is a travesty
and uh tonight i'm just gonna relax i've got a song write and uh gonna try and write another banger and
And then gracy and i'll watch a an episode of swat and go to bed
Nothing too exciting
What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music would that be songwriting singing what would you tell them?
I'd tell them that they've got to be true to themselves. I meet a lot of young writers and a lot of young artists, uh,
I produce a lot of young artists
I write with a bunch of them and I think that sometimes they get caught up on who they they think everybody wants them to be
Instead of who they they should be
And you know the the great thing about music is is if you're true to it and you're and you're who you are
When you start the writing process people know, you know, they can they can pick out the fakes
Uh, they know what's going on
So your fans are going to know you and if you really want your friends fans to know you then you got to be true to yourself
You got to write about what you know
And you got to believe the songs that you're singing or you're writing so i'd say just be true to yourself
And uh always give it 100% because the minute you start flacking off somebody else is going to take your spot
I agree with that. It's one of those things where this industry is such a hustle. You've got to keep up with the hustle
Absolutely, and I mean I saw in your bio
I mean you picked you wanted to be a dj when you were young
So, I mean you you've got to really make that statement
Uh with with what you want to do and you really got to stick to your guns
I mean, there's so many people that get discouraged
And uh, you know, it's it's one of those things where I tell everybody
I said if you really think you got what it takes go down and watch these guys on broadway
Uh that are picking for you know tips in a pickle jar literally
Still this day and if you think that you can hang with them, then then bring it on back, you know
Or you know, just find that spot. You need to find your niche. Don't be somebody else be yourself
Absolutely, I definitely agree with that michael if people want to learn more about you, where can they find you?
Uh, they can give me a michaelaustinlive.com
Uh that has all my socials from twitter to facebook to instagram to tiktok the whole whole works
Has my tour schedule on there a little bit more about me
And uh, yeah, that's the easiest way to get a hold of me. I mean
You know, you never know these days something might pop up next week that'd be even easier, but right now that's it
Do you have a message to those who might be listening just one general question
Do you have a message to those who might be listening just one general message to the world?
You know, even though uh, it seems like it's really uh, it's really dark and you're having trouble times right now
It only gets better
Uh believe in god I do and uh pray every day and it'll get you through I guarantee it's the
It's the biggest crutch we all have that a lot of us don't use is just you know, uh pray every night
I definitely agree with that and michael is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here on the show today
No, just uh get out there listen and if you like it that's great
You know, I think that my album is the only one where I sell live that if you don't like it
Uh, I give 100 money back guarantee. I've been offering that for years when I do these live performances, but uh,
Get out listen to all kinds of artists. You don't have to listen to the same 14 people on the radio every day
Explore new artists, you know get out there hear new music
and uh, because you'd be amazed the treasures you can find when you're when you're rummaging through some of these uh,
These different radio stations, you know get out there listen to new music and new artists and you know
You could uh help make dreams come true man because it's all about the fans and the listeners and the more of those we have
the the more we can do so
That's my message
I agree. It's one of those things where it's like, you know
A lot of people that are not in the industry that we're in particularly independent. They don't get heard and it's
quite frankly
Sad because a lot of these people are really really good. Well, you know
That's that's what really turned me off from the music. I'll give you a little caveat here
uh, I signed my first record deal and uh back in 95 and I know that's really aging me but
uh, and I you know was with the sheriff's department and I left the sheriff's department to pursue music and then I found out that
That you know, it's such a cutthroat industry that uh that you know, they end up playing the same 14 artists on the radio
And and they decide who's going to make it
so I went back to to working for the sheriff's department doing music on the side and I found that I had
more joy being in control myself
And uh and getting it out there and I think I learned more doing it that way than I ever had before
but uh, yeah, man, it's
If people realize how many
Great artists there are out there and and what a selection
I mean, it's like going into to mike's ice cream down on second man
There's so many good flavors you you want to try them all so you just take a sample of each and see what what you
Really love and then you run with it from there
I definitely agree with that
Michael, thank you so much for taking the time to come on the kate gordon show today's best country mix
We appreciate your time and support. So thank you
Thank you
Thank you so much kate and you have a great day and uh, man
I hope your show gets syndicated to even more stations you take care
I spent a year one night in new york city
I tried to find a girl to dance with me
Me but I couldn't find a bar with country music
So I headed down to nashville tennessee
I spent a lot of time down on broadway
The music from those bars was country gold
The girls there were fine, but not the tossing kind
Oklahoma's calling me home
Where bob wilson music can be found
Where t-step is a thing they still love their western swing i'm home the home of bound
Oh, yeah
The ladies there still love the dancing cowboy at closing time they're up for having fun
If you want to stand dance, you best know how to dance. I'm a rug cutting son of the gun
I'm
Where bob wilson music can be found
Where two-step is a thing they still love their western swing i'm oklahoma bound
I'm oklahoma
Where bob wilson music can be found
Where two-step is a thing they still love their western swing i'm oklahoma bound
I'm oklahoma bound
So
Great we've been together for a long long time
In a world of tribulation a good love is hard to find
As the world goes rushing past our door our time stands still we're charmed for sure
Oh, I can't promise you forever
I can't change the march of time
So lucky we're still together
So happy that you're mine
I can't promise you forever just till the end of time
My friends all tried to tell me i'd have nothing that we're wrong
They couldn't see our future then but we're still going strong
In these days of wild uncertainty you're the one true thing that I can see
I can't promise you forever
I can't change the march of time
So lucky we're still together
So happy that you're mine
I can't promise you forever just till the end of time
So
I wouldn't change a single day wouldn't have it any other way couldn't do it
Without you
I can't change the march of time
So lucky we're still together
So happy that you're mine
I can't promise you forever just till the end of time
Sometime
Sometime the day will come when we part for a while
But we'll always have the memories of each touch and loving smile
On the day when we'll be joined again I'll kiss your lips you'll take my hand
I can't promise you forever
I can't change the march of time
So lucky we're still together
So happy that you're mine
I can't promise you forever just till the end of time
Just till the end of time
I can't chance you forever
Just till the end of time
I can't chance you forever
I'm just a little bit of a...
Another day's been waiting
Another day's been dreaming on the other side of town
I don't wanna keep fading
There's so much more to life than sitting around
Blah, breathe tonight, blah, breathe
Break free tonight, break free
Let's see what it's like to be
Somebody and nobody
I wanna lie free like a hummingbird
Above the trees flying high, got a care in the world
I wanna be where the flowers grow
Cabinets and petals from all over the world
Fly free like a hummingbird
Life's sweet, don't bleed, just get lost in the blur
I wanna swim where my heart feels pure
Surround me in flavors from all over the world
I've been thinking about how the way the seasons go round
I've been thinking how we always feel lost, wanna be found
There's a place in my mind where there's never a doubt
That life would not just end living, dreaming up in the clouds
Blah, breathe tonight, blah, breathe
Break free tonight, break free
Let's see what it's like to be
Somebody and nobody
I wanna lie free like a hummingbird
Above the trees flying high, got a care in the world
I wanna be where the flowers grow
Cabinets and petals from all over the world
Fly free like a hummingbird
Life's sweet, don't bleed, just get lost in the blur
I wanna swim where my heart feels pure
Surround me in flavors from all over the world
Fly free tonight, blah, breathe
Break free tonight, break free
Let's see what it's like to be
Somebody and nobody
I wanna lie free like a hummingbird
Above the trees flying high, got a care in the world
I wanna be where the flowers grow
Cabinets and petals from all over the world
Fly free like a hummingbird
Life's sweet, don't bleed, just get lost in the blur
I wanna swim where my heart feels pure
Surround me in flavors from all over the world
It's different, I love it, they're kids, they're following their passions
There's something that hits differently
About this project versus my other projects
And don't get me wrong, I love working on my other projects and helping other artists
But there's something about this one in particular
I think it's because they're young
And they're following their passion
And their mom, Maya, shout out to Maya by the way
She is very supportive for the kids
And I love that
I mean, I think having her to guide them
And to be their biggest cheerleader is important
So to anyone that's listening out there, shout out to the moms, am I right?
And Ivy too, Ivy Lundin over at
Ivy Artist Management, who's the Wong quadruplets manager?
Oh, she is awesome
She has, wow, I said it for a second
I hate her, that's not how I meant that to be
I was like, who? That was bad
That was not what I meant, but Ivy's great
We also love Ellie Rodriguez who had a big role in this
She just started working with them as a talent coordinator
So shout out to Ellie too, thank you to all the ladies for taking the time
To have me a part of the project
And congrats to the kids, I gotta say
They are super talented
We are going to continue more nonstop music your way
Right here on the Kate and Gordon Show, today's best country mix
Where some work it evolves to be
Something that artists like to hear and see
It's all in a package and ready to go
It will create some smiles in every show
It has a bunch of letters blended to make meaning
It also has some eyes to clarify every screen
Where it starts, nobody knows
Where it departs in every life we show
This growth can be endless even into outer space
It is something we can use to warp us in our pace
It also takes a mix in where a man sits in his chair
It even goes home with him where he brightens it with flame
It wisps into a world where tones and tunes are added in
It heightens every element that builds its base from within
Where it starts, nobody knows
Where it departs in every life we show
This growth can be endless even into outer space
It is something we can use to warp us in our pace
It comes from the work that forever fits those four
Who stand, sit or hover above the floor
It makes it real and wonderful for each and every
What do you call it when it sounds out right here?
It flies full and flat once it's complete and whole
It complements efforts to touch every part of the soul
Its first step cannot be varied
It's planted in a batch to remain tary
Its second step is to fly through the air
In the back of a plane to a stoop or a stair
It finally lands and stops moving
It waits for the master to see it improving
Where it starts, nobody knows
Where it departs in every life we show
This growth can be endless even into outer space
It is something we can use to warp us in our pace
There's a little honky tonk bar down the street
With neon lights, looks real neat
Every Friday night I go down there
And dance with my girl who looks so fair
It's Friday night and it's time to have fun
Let's party till the sun comes up
It's Friday night, it's Friday night
I've been working hard all week long
Now it's time to have a little fun
It's Friday night, now it's time to let loose
Maybe have a cold beer or 22
We're gonna party till the sun comes up
It's Friday night and it's time to have fun
It's Friday night, it's Friday night
Well I meet my girl down at the bar
She put on that little red dress that I bought
She looks real fine, everyone knows
Makes all the men in the bar wanna take her home
She's pure country and she dances so fine
In that honky tonk bar on a Friday night
It's Friday night, it's Friday night
In a honky tonk bar we're gonna drink till the sun comes up
I'm gonna dance with my girl all night
And kiss her sweet lips because they taste so fine
It's Friday night in a honky tonk bar
Let's party till the sun comes up
It's Friday night, it's Friday night
It's Friday night
Walking down the street today
I couldn't help but glance your way
When I did you looked at me
But turned your face so I couldn't see
As if maybe to justify
That you were already taken
But then I took a second glance
And I came to this realization
You put your hand in your pocket
So the world wouldn't know
That you just lost your man
And you have no ring to show
And though you walked along with a child at your side
Everyone thinks you have a man
All you got left to you now is an empty hand
The expression's written all over your face
Your look can feel right out of place
You feel as if all eyes are on you
Because being alone ain't easy to do
You put your hand in your pocket
So the world wouldn't know
That you just lost your man
And have no ring to show
And though you're really such a beautiful thing
And that's why you caught my eye
We stared at each other
But it was only seconds we were eye to eye
You put your hand in your pocket
So the world wouldn't know
That you just lost your man
And have no ring to show
And though you walked along with a child at your side
Everyone thinks you have a man
All you got left to you now
Is an empty hand
All you got left to you now is an empty hand
And all you got left to you now is an empty hand
