He was crazy about me baby.
I was crazy about me too.
Oh, oh, ooh.
You thought you was the only one.
But I was doing others too.
Oh, oh, ooh.
And it's too late baby.
I fooled around and lost you.
She lost you.
I washed your pack, your suitcase, put on your 3D suit.
Rocked right out the door, was there nothing I could do.
But baby I'm so sorry.
And I feel so bad.
So bad.
It's too late baby.
Didn't know what I had.
Now I'm gonna take care of you baby.
Was your pussycat on a string.
Now baby why'd you never give me a diamond ring.
And it's too late baby.
You didn't know it was everything.
Oh, oh, ooh.
Is a fool that I lost you.
And now my telephone don't ring.
And don't ring.
Now I'm sitting here by the river.
Sitting here all alone.
Wishing I could get my sweet baby to come home.
But he don't let me.
Cause I've been so bad.
She's so bad.
Yeah I lost the one that loved me.
And I feel so bad.
She feels so bad.
Yeah I lost the one that loved me.
And I feel so bad.
Yeah I lost the one that loved me.
And I feel so damn bad.
Oh yeah.
Here we go.
One shot of whiskey and I'm texting my ex.
Two shots down and I'm a heart mess.
Well that's another tipsy call that I'm gonna regret.
I hate the way I love the way you go to my head.
Oh no.
Never look.
I've got a precious that I know I need to burn.
Yeah.
We can talk for a while.
But baby you're nothing but a drunk down.
Drunk, drunk, drunk down.
I know I shouldn't do it but I will anyway.
I'm not accountable for what I say.
Well I've been checking out your socials and you still look cute.
If I talk a little flirty I'm just teasing you.
Oh no.
Never look.
I've got a precious that I know I need to burn.
Yeah.
We can talk for a while.
But baby you're nothing but a drunk down.
Drunk, drunk, drunk down.
I need to block your number and delete your name.
Cause you're the kind of mistake I keep making again, again, again, again.
Yeah.
Oh no.
I never learn.
I've got a precious that I know I need to burn.
Yeah.
We can talk for a while.
But baby you're nothing but a drunk down.
Oh no.
I never learn.
I've got a precious that I know I need to burn.
Yeah.
We can talk for a while.
But baby you're nothing but a drunk down.
Baby you're nothing but a drunk down.
At least she ain't the worst to look at.
She always gets me there and back.
You never have to worry about her letting me down.
Cause it's the only way I get around.
It's a car.
A junk car.
Well it's a four door model with the seats wearing low.
The temp lights are glowing and the oil's reading low.
But I know she's ready to roll.
Cause I just filled her full with petrol.
It's a car.
A junk car.
Yeah there's plastic in one window and the front doors don't work.
Trying to get in there you feel like a jerk.
Have my little boy climb over the seat.
Open the driver's door, hey it's no treat.
It's a car.
A junk car.
Sure the front is kind of weary and if it did it'll shake.
But for five hundred dollars, hey I still extake.
It's a car.
A junk car.
So I'm taking out the old parts, putting new ones in.
Hoping there'll be something there to trade in.
It's a car.
A junk car.
Well it's a four door model with the seats wearing low.
The temp lights are glowing and the oil's reading low.
But I know she's ready to roll.
Cause I just filled her full with petrol.
It's a car.
A junk car.
A piece of junk.
That was Ron Howard and junk car right here on the Kating Order Show today's best country mix.
Earlier you heard Katie Jane, Drunk Dial, and Sharon Brooks.
Crazy baby blues.
We got a lot coming on the show today.
But first, we got Lisa Richard joining us.
So let's get right into that interview.
Beewoop.
And if anyone can guess that wonderful little thing I just did.
You guys are really invested in this channel.
So that's your hint.
On to the interview.
Let's go.
Hello and welcome to the Kating Order Show today's best country mix.
Joining me right here today is Lisa Richard.
Lisa, how are you today?
I am doing fantastic.
Thank you so much for inviting me to your show.
It is my pleasure.
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, you know, there's always a little child before you get into the music industry.
So, you know, this is probably a bit of a common story,
being able to perform and sing and do all this stuff when you're a kid.
But you just do it for fun at the time.
And one of the fun things I used to do was just write and make up songs when I was a kid.
And I just thought everybody could do that.
And everybody sort of did that.
I didn't think of anything special at the time.
That's just what I did.
So many years later, I was going to university.
And we decided to go home and visit our family one weekend in November, my first year university.
And we actually on the way home hit a moose with our vehicle.
So if you are from the northern states, maybe in Maine or you've ever been to eastern Canada,
there's a lot of wild things on the road.
And unfortunately, we hit one of them.
How does that connect to the music industry?
Well, many years later, I found myself on Music Row writing with some dear friends of mine in Nashville.
And I wanted to write a song to thank the people that saved my life that night.
And gosh, there's so much of a story in between there to making it to Nashville and writing with people there.
But essentially, I'm going to say the story starts with hitting a moose because it changed my direction in life.
It really did at the time.
And music was always a part of my life.
But yeah, it definitely became more of a part of my life after that incident.
And eventually I put up my first album writing my own music because I just figured, you know what, life's too short.
And when am I going to do it?
So I finally did that.
Wasn't really expecting a whole lot.
It was my first one.
And it was supposed to be demos and things just for myself that I hoped other people would enjoy.
But I was nominated for Country Album of the Year here for Music Nova Scotia with that first album.
And so I decided to do a second album.
And the list goes on.
We're making our way through with album number two that just came out last year and now working on album three.
So, yeah, there's lots of lots of details in between those those parts of the story.
What an interesting story to go from hitting a moose to making music.
What an interesting pathway.
I think it's crazy.
It's a little bit unique.
I mean, certainly at the time, you know, it was it was going through surgeries.
I mean, the kids that were in the car with me thought I had already passed on.
I was crushed in the car.
And part of the story is there was a cassette tape.
So I'm dating myself here a little bit, but there's a cassette tape that hit the floor and I had to bend forward to pick it up.
And had I not been bent forward towards the floor to pick up that cassette tape, I would not be talking to you right now because the whole top of the roof was crushed in around my head.
All of the other kids got out of the vehicle.
No problem.
I didn't even need a bandaid, but it's just the way the moose landed on the roof that it.
Yeah, it crushed me in the car.
But thankfully, I was bent forward trying to pick something up at the time that we hit the moose.
So there was a lot of surgeries and rehab and different things afterwards.
I did make it back to university.
I did finish my degree in sports science eventually.
And I went on to become a chiropractor.
So that was part of my story as well.
After hitting that moose, I had gotten help from a chiropractor for the first time in my life.
And I couldn't believe what they could do without the use of drugs or surgery.
And I was sold.
I knew that that was a way I was going to give back to help people because really being alive after something like that, a lot of people do not survive moose accidents.
So I'm very, very fortunate to be here and I want it to pay it back.
And I believe I've served a lot of people practicing as a chiropractor to help them.
And music's always been there along the way.
I've been in a band.
I've performed every step of the way.
I try to take a hiatus here and there because things can get busy as a chiropractor at times.
So sometimes I'll take a bit of a hiatus and not be as involved with music.
But I've always been drawn back to music.
And now at this point, I'm only practicing as a chiropractor part time because things have gotten a lot busier with music in the last 10 years.
So I've been practicing pretty much part time for about the last 10 years now.
So I'm still trying to serve and help people with their health challenges and trying to stay well.
But I also try to connect with people on another level and hopefully reach people, giving them positive messages and hope through my music.
And hopefully, yeah, you get to listen to it and enjoy it.
What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music, whether that be singing, writing, performing?
What would you tell them, Lisa?
Oh, my gosh. How much time do we have?
There's so much.
First of all, you know, at the very basic level, you have to love what you do.
You have to love where you live and love what you do.
And if singing is one of those things or writing or playing an instrument or whatever it is that you're feeling that passion and love for that, you know, make that the priority.
And you'll find that you'll attract those people into your life that become part of your group, part of your tribe, part of, you know, the people that support you and understand why you do what you do.
I would say on professional level, if you have associations or groups that you can join professionally to be a member of,
it could be, you know, a musician's union or it could be a singer songwriter association.
Seek those out and you'll be shocked how many people you meet that are doing the same thing you're doing and going to be more supportive than you might think.
A lot of people get the idea that it's extremely competitive.
And I mean, there is an element of that at a certain level. And certainly I can understand under, you know, signed artists with different labels and whatnot.
But if you're just starting to get into industry, I've met more people that have been supportive, who are doing exactly what I'm doing.
And we've collaborated and, you know, have done shows together or maybe have written together.
And I get introduced to their people, they get introduced to my people.
And that's what it's all about. Music is about bringing people together.
Do it because you love it. But try to join with other people that are doing what you do because, yeah, it's a good supportive group usually,
or you hope that it's a good supportive group that you get into. And I've met nothing but that with the groups that I've joined.
So, you know, there's independent music awards in the US, like the Josie Music Awards, the International Singer-Songwriter Association.
There's all kinds of stuff for indie artists, independent artists that you can join in the US.
And then there's associations here on the East Coast here in Canada that I'm a part of, like the East Coast Music Association, Music Nova Scotia.
And that's where you find a lot of help and support because there are people just like you who've either been there and done it
and can give you some really good guidance and what to do, maybe what not to do, or just give you the information to make the choice yourself.
So, yeah, get involved. Try not to stay in your house by yourself too much. Try to get up there and get involved.
So, I know before we jumped on here that you mentioned to me that you've won a couple of awards. Tell me a little bit about that.
Well, I've been nominated for quite a few awards over the years. I have yet to actually bring the hardware home, but, you know, I'm still on that journey to do that.
And over the years I've been nominated for Country Album of the Year, Singer of the Year, Entertainer of the Year, Album, I already mentioned that one, Album of the Year, Video of the Year, Rising Female Artist of the Year,
and this has been with different organizations in the US and here on the East Coast.
So, I'm very grateful to be nominated and in a group of people that are working so hard to be nominated.
And I am just working towards actually bringing one of them home. So, you never know, it could happen this year. My album just came out last year and there's all kinds of stuff happening. So, we'll see how it goes.
Well, I definitely am sending my well wishes to you and good luck. Hopefully you win something.
Thank you so much.
Anytime, anytime. So, for those that want to learn more about you, where can they find you?
Well, you can find me on all your regular social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. I keep telling people my TikTok account is really my cat who's become famous, not me so much, but I have a TikTok account.
And you can look me up under the same name, Lisa Richard Music, and that's where you'll find me.
Lisa, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention?
Oh, and you can also check out my website. There's all kinds of information on there as well, lisarichardmusic.com.
And I'm really looking forward to performing at a couple of showcases this week for the East Coast Music Award and awards. And so this is where the music industry comes to check out the showcases and you get to meet with them one on one
to hopefully make a connection and get hired to do maybe a show or play at their festival, or you might meet a booking agent or all these different things. So we're really excited to showcase to the international delegates that are coming to the East Coast this week.
And next week we're off to the Netherlands, so we're going to be going to a much bigger international showcase. I believe right now I'm only, there's only two Canadians that are going to this one. That's all I've seen myself and one other person from Canada.
So I'm going to be meeting all kinds of people from around the world that are coming to the Netherlands, Rotterdam, for this international showcase and it's the same type of thing.
It is industry that will be there to check out what you do, what you have to offer and see if you can make relationships with, with people in Europe and beyond.
Then I'll be coming back to the East Coast, and I have some shows here to do you can find all this information on my website dates and where I'm playing. And I'm really looking forward to continuing with the summer tour this year.
Lisa Richard, thank you so much for taking the time to come on the Cade and Gordon Show today's best country mix. We really appreciate your time and support. So thank you for being on the Cade and Gordon Show. Today's best country mix.
Thank you so much for having me. Hope we get to chat again.

Fall asleep with you every night when the lights go out.
If I ditch this town.
Yeah, if I ditch this town.
I strum my guitar across the strings.
You've come tonight to hear me sing.
You might have heard my song on the radio.
I was pleased to hear them play it too.
About a girl I once knew.
The brightest light from the nearest star.
While driving my car I've come to music with you.
Share the light.
Harmony with me tonight.

That's what you are.

It's my dream come true.
I've come to music with you.
I'm great. How are you today?
I'm quite alright. Thanks so much for taking the time to come on the show today.
Absolutely.
So let's get started by getting to know you a little bit and how you got started in music.
Well to be honest, my mom was a huge music fan.
In the mornings when every morning I'd wake up, she would have music going all the time and be singing.
You know, every single morning we'd never watch TV or anything.
It was always the radio going or her singing to us in the car or all those kinds of things.
And then as I grew up I kind of fell in love with commercials and jingles.
And I would sing to every commercial on TV.
And it would irritate my brothers because I'd usually be dancing and singing in front of the TV.
I fell in love with Shirley Temple at an early age because she was always dancing and singing.
And yeah, music has just always been a part of my life.
I have relatives. My cousin James, he played in bands and in guitars and he sang.
And yeah, so I come from a long line of music lovers.
What is it about music that you absolutely love about it, Tammy?
Oh my goodness. Everything.
I love how it conveys emotion and how certain songs can just bring up memories or cause a feeling of like...
There's something romantic about it and beautiful.
It's kind of hard for me to describe. I just kind of love everything about it.
I love how a lyric can, you know, or a harmony or anything can just bring about emotion in a human being.
That's what I really love.
If you could give any aspiring artist any advice, Tammy, whether that be them singing, writing, performing, anything like that, what would you tell them?
I would say you need to do the work. It's difficult. It's not just you can't just get in there and just sing.
You know, you have to work at it every day. You have to work on your enunciation, you know, your patterns of singing, spacing of your words.
You want people to understand what you're singing.
And, you know, just get in there and do the hours and do the time and do the work and you'll just come out with just get better and better over time.
And, you know, everybody needs room for improvement.
So, you know, there's always room for that.
Yeah, that's that would be what I would say is just, you know, enjoy it, have fun with it.
And but, you know, don't be afraid to do the work.
Tammy, do you have any upcoming projects or singles that we can look forward to?
Oh, yes, I'm working on my first original album because I've been working with Bo Haas and Cindy Lu.
They're amazing, amazing, incredible people and my mentors and they have taught me so much.
And we did we did we did about I think five or six cover albums.
But now I'm working on my first original country album and we're really excited about it and we have some really great original songs coming up.
If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about?
Oh, goodness. Wow. That's a good one.
I honestly I think they would write about my big heart.
I have a really big heart and a lot of love to give.
And I always try to be respectful and kind.
And, you know, that's and everyone knows that I'm really bubbly and happy and jovial.
And, you know, I think that's what they would write about is my heart.
And probably my love for music, because everybody knows I love music and I love singing.
So, yeah, I think that that those three things would probably be like the biggest things that they could write about me.
In a song.
Well, there you go. That was a good answer.
I hope so.
Walk me through a typical day of Tammy Day.
Oh, my goodness. OK. So up in the morning, you know, shower, get my body moving, that kind of thing.
Get in the studio and start, you know, practicing, you know, songs or working with the software and things that have to do with the recording of the music.
Learning how to do all that, you know, have a protein shake for breakfast and maybe a cup of hot tea.
And then, you know, housework and yard work and, you know, more music and then some rest, because currently I am.
I have I have I have severe rheumatoid arthritis.
So I'm I'm my I'm currently not employed right now because of that.
Currently disabled until they can find a medication that works for me well.
And but most of the time, it's just music. I just I'm constantly going through and working with music every day.
Taking care of my kitty cat.
Where do you see yourself in the next couple of years or where do you want to be?
Honestly, I would really love to have some originals be noted.
And maybe the performing more doing that kind of thing, maybe traveling a little bit.
You know, I'm not looking to look move really fast or become really big, really fast or anything like that.
I kind of I just want I kind of just want something to leave behind for my family and friends.
You know, you know, in the event of my passing, that they can always hear my voice and hear me singing to them.
But, you know, it would be really nice if in a couple of years, you know, I might be further than I am now in my in my music career.
That would be really great.
I'd be excited for that.
If people want to learn more about you, where can they find you?
Oh, I'm currently setting up a website right now.
And as soon as I know that you will definitely get that information.
Yeah, because I haven't really set anything up just yet.
Bo and Cindy and I are working on that currently.
And that will be up, I think, within this next week.
Tammy, if there was one message that you would like to give to your fans, anyone listening or any of my fans that might be listening, what message would you tell them?
Be kind to one another, first and foremost.
You know, don't let the world separate you by opinions or, you know, having an opinion about anything.
Just be kind to one another.
Life is hard enough.
And we are supposed to be here to help each other and love each other through this life.
And, you know, I understand that, you know, people have belief systems and that's just fine.
I just believe that, you know, there's too much harshness and hatred in the world.
And that we should help lift each other up and build each other up.
You know, if you see somebody in need, stop and give them a hand.
Try to be kind is basically.
And spread love would be my biggest thing I could say.
Well, Tammy, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here on the show today?
Oh, sure.
I would love to.
I am a I'm indigenous.
I am a arrow lake.
My mother was a full-blood arrow lake, the night from originating from Revelstoke, B.C., British Columbia, Canada.
And I was born and raised on the interlamb in Interlamb on the Caldwell Indian Reservation here in Washington state.
It was a tough upbringing and it was but it was really, really beautiful.
We have a gorgeous culture.
And I, you know, that's basically all I could say about that.
I currently just that's about.
Honestly, I just think that, you know, everybody should embrace their culture and their life.
And yeah, that's about all I could say about me that you haven't mentioned yet.
Tammy Day, thank you so much for taking the time to come on the Kating Order Show today's best country mix.
We appreciate your time and support.
So thank you.
Thank you so much, Kate.
And I hope you have a wonderful day.
And I wish you all the luck in the world with this.
And it's amazing.
Thank you so much.
And thank you to everyone out there.
Two, three, four.
Well, my heart knows better than I know myself, so I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
Came across a place in the middle of nowhere, the big black horse and a cherry tree.
I felt a little fear upon my back.
I said, don't look back, just keep on walking.
But the big black horse had looked this way and said, hey, lady, will you marry me?
But I said, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I said, no, no, you're not the one for me.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I said, no, no, you're not the one for me.
And my heart had a problem with the early hours, so I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
But I cut some code and I shouldn't have done it and it won't forgive me after all these years.
So I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere with a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Now I won't come back because it's so, so happy and now I got a hole for the well to see.
And it said, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I said, no, no, you're not the one for me.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I said, no, no, you're not the one for me.
Not the one for me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no You're not the one for me
Big black hole in a cherry tree I can't quite get there cuz my heart's
forsaken me Big black hole in a cherry tree
I can't quite get there cuz my heart's forsaken me
It's 9 AM and we don't got no score We're sleeping in and hanging by the pool
One two a Chloe's doing down the block Cuz you know she's trying to make today's
tick-tock And we ain't trying to go the wrong route
We're here to stay, you can't forget the clouds And you know we don't gotta play by the rules
Cuz we're kids, we love to sing and shout
It's summer summertime in California The sky is always blue, sunshine in Ornea
It's summer summertime in California We're heading to the beach, come on and join us
Every day feels like a week now Nothing to do but go and just chill out
We got no plans to tip up Jeremy He's got that switch, let's hit the Mario Kart
2 on 3 And we ain't trying to go the wrong route
We're here to stay, you can't forget the clouds And you know we don't gotta play by the rules
Cuz we're kids, we love to sing and shout
It's summer summertime in California The sky is always blue, sunshine in Ornea
It's summer summertime in California We're heading to the beach, come on and join us
It's summer summertime in California The sky is always blue, sunshine in Ornea
It's summer summertime in California We're heading to the beach, come on and join us
It's summer summertime in California The sky is always blue, sunshine in Ornea
I wish you could feel the things I've felt I've been tried deep down in my hell
They make you feel all day long Bottling it all down in a hole
As they gallop to the open fields I can hear the flames coming from over the hills
Chanting, roaring and calling my name My soul is the only thing that they crave
And I know I will be okay As you turn them off the way
From all the things that I break Sweep them pieces up and bury them all today
Waking up to find an empty room Might as well have found me way too soon
Scraping my fingernails all down the wall I'm screaming out my name down the hall
Then waves of emptiness rush over me like the seas I'm already here as hell inside of me
And I know I will be okay As you turn them off the way
From all the things that I break Sweep them pieces up and bury them all today
We'll be back soon on the Kading Gordon Show. Today's best country mix.
