The Kaden Gordon Show today's best country mix!

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,500
We got a lot going on for you today.

3
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:12,500
So, um, we have interviews coming up in just a few moments with Gable and John DeRosa,

4
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:16,500
so, uh, stay tuned for that, and, uh, thanks so much for listening to the show.

5
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:20,000
Hello and welcome to the Kaden Gordon Show today's best country mix.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,500
Joining me right here today is Gable He-Gable. How are you?

7
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:27,000
I'm so good. How are you?

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,500
I am doing alright. Thanks for coming on the show.

9
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:33,000
Of course. Thank you so much for having me.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
So let's get started by getting to know you a little bit and how you got started in music.

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Well, so, I spent part of my childhood in the Smokies and got a lot of exposure to a lot of wonderful music up there,

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,500
specifically bluegrass and gospel and all that good jazz.

13
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:59,000
Then my family, they moved, uh, me and my parents and my sister, we all moved to Texas,

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
because my parents are both Texans. They're both originally from Texas.

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Uh, and that's where I got introduced to more like country, more modern kind of country western acts like, uh,

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:22,500
the Chicks and George Strait and, uh, Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn and just fell in love with music over time.

17
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:27,000
What is it about music that you absolutely love about it?

18
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Oh my gosh, that I think my favorite part of music is and specifically country music,

19
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,000
because that's, that's, you know, it's just my love is the stories behind it and the people behind it.

20
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:51,000
There's no other genre where people dive half as deep or tell half as, in my opinion, half as well structured, you know, stories.

21
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:59,000
I mean, you really have to get personal in this genre and be willing to open yourself up and speak from experience.

22
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And if you don't have certain experiences and you aren't willing to do that, I think people can tell.

23
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:12,000
If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about?

24
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Oh, that's really good one.

25
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Well, I think if somebody were to write a song about me in my life, um,

26
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:38,000
I would hope that it would be about, you know, may love maybe, maybe adventures or something exciting that we got to share together.

27
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Friendship, family, different experiences like that.

28
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Do you have any upcoming singles or projects you want to tell us a little bit about today?

29
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Yes, my first single that's actually off of my first project just got released.

30
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
It's called Rumor Mill and it's part of my debut EP, which the entire EP is able to buy in CD form on my website.

31
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And I'm releasing each song slowly over the next few months in single form until everything is on streaming.

32
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
So be sure to keep an eye out for that.

33
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:26,000
The next song that is that I'm going to be releasing off that EP onto streaming is called Diamond in a Rhinestone World.

34
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:35,000
And that should be out here in a in the next couple of weeks.

35
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
What do you like doing outside of music? Do you have any hobbies, interests, anything like that?

36
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Oh, yes. So I shoot archery pretty regularly.

37
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
I love to go out and shoot hay bales and different targets and things.

38
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:56,000
I love yoga. I love to stretch and get a good relaxing breath in and go do that.

39
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:05,000
I'm a really big avid hiker. I really love to go out into the woods, up and down different trails, find different animals, different plants.

40
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:13,000
A lot of them I've taken upon myself to learn the names of and kind of discover as I discover them and as I go.

41
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And part of that, I think, is from growing up in the Smokies, we were pretty close to Great Smoky Mountain National.

42
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:32,000
And if you've ever driven through Knoxville or Gatlinburg or any of that, the towns are all kind of just cornered in there.

43
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Where do you see yourself in the next couple of years or where do you want to be?

44
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
In the next couple of years, I'd love to be sharing what I do with everybody.

45
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:53,000
My big end goal is really just to write, make good music, you know, make good music that tells a story and touches people's hearts

46
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:03,000
and really supports, you know, country music and the communities that are a part of the country music family.

47
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:12,000
And so I think for me, if that means being on the top of the chart and all that, I would love it.

48
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:20,000
If it means writing and going for other people and going from town to town and playing shows for the few that love it,

49
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:30,000
then that's what that means. But, you know, to my own self be true, first and foremost.

50
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000
If you had an opportunity to go anywhere in the world to perform, where would you go and why?

51
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Oh, my goodness. Man, that's a really good one.

52
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,000
I would love, I think it depends, like, is it a show that I would be headlining?

53
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
It would be somebody else's show. Would it be some kind of showcase or something?

54
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Would it be a festival? There's so many amazing concerts and shows out there.

55
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Of course, there are the big ones that I think are goals for me. Like, I would love to play at the Grand Ole Opry someday.

56
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,000
I'd love to play the Ryman to just, I don't know if they'd even let me in the building right now,

57
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
but I'd love to go and do that. And that's a huge goal.

58
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:20,000
If it's somewhere outside of the United States, I think it would be really interesting to go and check out some of the Scandinavian countries

59
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000
because they're apparently like really big into country music and I didn't know that.

60
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:34,000
And it would be great just to share, you know, any venue I'd be grateful for, like inside the United States, outside the United States.

61
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,000
And I've had the opportunity to play so many great places already.

62
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000
It's all just about sharing the music with people that love it.

63
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:50,000
If people want to learn more about you, where can they find you?

64
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,000
If y'all would like to learn more about me, y'all can find me on my website.

65
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:08,000
It is www.gable.gable.com.

66
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:18,000
That again, that www.gable.gable.com.

67
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:26,000
If you had one message to tell anyone that might be listening right now, what would you tell them, Gable?

68
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,000
You can truly do anything that you set your mind to.

69
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:42,000
And if you work hard and you're loving and kind to people, eventually you will be found and you'll be seen.

70
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,000
And you will have your place and you will have your time.

71
00:07:48,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Don't worry and try not to, if you're waiting on that right now, try not to worry about it.

72
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,000
If you had an opportunity to duet or collaborate with any singer, who would you choose and why?

73
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Oh my gosh, Miss Dolly. Miss Dolly Parton.

74
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:21,000
I mean, I'm sure so many people say that she's such an icon for so many reasons and everybody loves her for one reason or the other.

75
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
But, you know, for me personally, she was one of the first country singers I ever heard.

76
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:37,000
She's like, in my opinion, one of the best writers of all time. And vocally, I've been told that in a lot of ways we have kind of a similar sound.

77
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:46,000
And I would love to be able to learn from her and gain knowledge from her by collaborating with her.

78
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:54,000
And Gable, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention today?

79
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Well, let's see. If you all would like to listen to my music, I am on every single streaming platform.

80
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000
You can just look at my name, Gable, G-A-B-L-E, or you can access it through my website.

81
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:15,000
All my links to all of my music are on my website, if you have any issues.

82
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:22,000
And all my social media, if you all would like to follow me, it's at itsjustgable on all platforms.

83
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,000
That's at its-I-P-S-just-Gable, G-A-B-L-E.

84
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Gable, thank you so much for taking the time to come on the Cading Order Show today's Best Country Mix.

85
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
We definitely appreciate your time and support.

86
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Thank you, Kayden. Thank you so much for having me. It was a pleasure.

87
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Hello and welcome to the Cading Order Show today's Best Country Mix.

88
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Joining me right here today is John DeRosa. John, how are you?

89
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
I'm very good, thank you.

90
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,000
You're so welcome. Thanks so much for taking the time to come on the show today.

91
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Sure, definitely. Definitely excited about it. Glad to be here.

92
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:10,000
So let's get started, beginning to know you a little bit, and how you got started in music.

93
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Sure, well, I've always loved music, and just like about everybody else, but I was in my early 20s,

94
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:27,000
and suddenly picked up a guitar and kind of knew how to play it, and within three months I was in the band, and never stopped since.

95
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Is there something about music that you absolutely love about it, John?

96
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Yeah, it takes me to another world. I can go and visit places I can't normally visit without music.

97
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:57,000
If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about?

98
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Oh boy, that's a good one. Probably how much I love to laugh, how much I love my family, how much I love life,

99
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:17,000
and then also all the little hills and valleys that come with that. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.

100
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:25,000
So actually, my entire life is just one big country song.

101
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:32,000
If it wasn't for music, what do you think you'd be doing right now? Do you know what career path you would have gone down if it wasn't for music?

102
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Yes, absolutely. I'd be doing archaeology and history.

103
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,000
There you go, there you go. That would be really, really cool.

104
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Yeah, I've always loved history. It's a passion of mine. I still do, and sometimes even incorporate music within it.

105
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Years ago, I was in the metal detecting a whole bunch, and NBC News actually did a story about me.

106
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:12,000
I've metal detected about 30 years, and I did find some stuff, and I found some major stuff in the early 2000s

107
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:19,000
that indirectly had to do with the Declaration of Independence. I found it outside of Philadelphia.

108
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:30,000
I keep everything, and I hold it sacred. There's a couple items here and there that were really spectacular and wound up giving to museums.

109
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,000
That's really, really cool.

110
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Yeah, I love it.

111
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Do you have any upcoming singles or projects you want to tell us a little bit about today?

112
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Yeah, actually I've got a couple things coming out. There's been a song that I've been working on for a long time.

113
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:59,000
I originally wrote it for my grandmother. It's an old East Tribune song. Many years ago, I was in a heavy metal band. I had long hair.

114
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:12,000
I used to drive her back and forth to Hilton Head, South Carolina, to visit my aunt. One day, we were listening to Ricky Nelson and Fats Domino and Chuck Berry and a couple other people.

115
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:20,000
I was singing along, and she couldn't believe that a guy in the heavy metal music liked the oldies. I was like, yeah, Grandma, I love it.

116
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:27,000
She was like, well, I always wondered what happened in that music. I loved it so much. One day, I turned on the radio, and it was gone.

117
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:36,000
I wanted to write a song about it. She never did get a chance to listen to it, but all the bands I had throughout the years, I would show them it, and they would always make me play it.

118
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Well, last year and this year, I decided to record it, and it will be coming out. It's going to have some guest musicians on there. I'm really happy about it.

119
00:13:48,000 --> 00:14:02,000
I'm really looking forward to doing it. Then I have a new song. It's a cover tune coming out June 9th, but that's another one I'm really happy about. It came out really well.

120
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:14,000
It's an old Olivia Newton John song. I did it for somebody, and I got the licensing for it, so I'm releasing it June 9th.

121
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,000
What do you like doing outside of music? Do you have any hobbies, interests, anything like that, John?

122
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Outside of music? Yes.

123
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Like you said, the metal detecting thing, definitely. I have a 1929 Chevy fire truck that I love. I take it out and put it in the yard, and I drive it around the neighborhood, and neighbors love it. Sometimes I play guitar out of the back of it. Just try to have some fun with life.

124
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Where do you see yourself in the next couple years, or where do you want to be?

125
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:08,000
I thought at my age, I'm 58, 57, something like that. I stopped counting a while ago. Everybody else laughs at me, but I'm around here somewhere. I thought it would be over with, honestly.

126
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:21,000
I was a former guitar player, lead guitar player for a multi-golvin' platinum Nashville recording artist. His name is Jamie Teachner. He just wrote the anthem for the new Space Force. I'm real proud of him.

127
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:47,000
I thought that time of my life was gone, and then all of a sudden, I decided to write this song called Thirteen, and it has just taken off like a rocket. It continues to grow. Daily, weekly, monthly, it just expands far beyond what I could have imagined. I'm just having fun with this ride.

128
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,000
If people want to learn more about you, where can they find you?

129
00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:01,000
They can find me at www.johnderozamusic.com.

130
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:09,000
If you had one message to tell anyone that might be listening right now, what would you tell them?

131
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Follow your dreams, stay with your dreams, don't give up. There's always a possibility. You only fail when you don't do anything. As long as you try, that's not failing. That's just figuring out another way to do it right.

132
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:41,000
What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music, whether that be writing, singing, performing?

133
00:16:41,000 --> 00:17:05,000
If you really want to do it, just do it. Don't let doubts get in you. Don't let other people say, you can't. You can do anything you want to do if you put your mind to it. You just got to do it. That's all it is. That's the simple thing. Just do it.

134
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:12,000
If you had an opportunity to play anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

135
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Oh boy, that's a good one. The entire world is wide open. I would love to play in Europe somewhere, maybe the UK or Germany or Italy. I don't have a specific spot I would like to go play.

136
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:45,000
I would love to share my music with people that want to hear it, that want to see me play, that want to hear what I write or see the show that I perform.

137
00:17:45,000 --> 00:18:10,000
It's kind of fun watching the different people around the world friend me on Facebook or send me messages. I have this lady in Italy. She goes nuts over my stuff. She's constantly inviting me. They come to Italy. She's probably out of about 30, 40 people to my friends list alone because she's so excited about what she likes, what I do.

138
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:17,000
That makes me excited. That makes me want to do it more.

139
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Absolutely. John, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here on the show today?

140
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:43,000
No, other than you can find me on Facebook. You can find me on Instagram. My Instagram is John D'Rosa Jr. It's just John D'Rosa on Facebook. I have a lot of stuff coming up in the future. Keep an eye out.

141
00:18:43,000 --> 00:19:02,000
On May 21st, I'm playing at a baseball stadium in Somerset, New Jersey. Then July 8th, I'm opening up for Ace Freely. I'm really excited about that. Ace Freely is a guitar player. Kiss in case some of you youngins don't know.

142
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Well, John, thank you so much for taking the time to communicate and show today's Best Country Mix. We definitely appreciate your time and support. Thank you.

143
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Sure. Thank you very much and enjoy my song 13. Thank you.

144
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Hello and welcome to the Kayden Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix. Joining me right here today is Adrian from the Heartland Roots Band. How's it going, Adrian?

145
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Hi, Kayden. All good, thank you.

146
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Thanks so much for taking the time to come on the show.

147
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000
No problem at all.

148
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:43,000
So let's get started by getting to know you a little bit and how you got started in music.

149
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Well, the Heartland Roots Band has been going on for a few years now.

150
00:19:49,000 --> 00:20:03,000
And in the beginning it was a pretty low key kind of band. We were playing a kind of like a little kind of acoustic type, folky country type thing.

151
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:21,000
And then over a period of time, it got a little bit more serious and a little bit bigger and a little bit louder and evolved over a period of time into what we are now, which is a big, loud six piece rocking country band.

152
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:37,000
And we obviously the UK country scene compared to the American country scene is much, much smaller. But in terms of UK country bands, we're pretty much the number one UK band, UK country band.

153
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:51,000
We've won the UK CMA Awards two years running and we're hoping to win it again this year. And we've got some good numbers on our Spotify and we've had 11 singles in the top 20.

154
00:20:51,000 --> 00:21:07,000
And we've played some pretty big gigs and festivals over here. But that's, you know, we haven't got fans in the USA, but it's more of a kind of it's more of a cult thing in the USA for us, I suppose.

155
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:13,000
If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about?

156
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:24,000
What, me personally? Yes. God knows. If someone's writes a song about me, I've no idea. I was just talking about this with some people who are here right now.

157
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:38,000
How, when people meet you, do they get the right impression or the wrong impression? I have no idea what they would say about me. Some people seem to really like me, some people don't.

158
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:53,000
I don't know why that is, but you know, it is what it is. I don't know why anybody would say, I'm sorry. That's the first question anybody's ever asked me. It's completely stumped me.

159
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:00,000
What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music?

160
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Yeah, okay. I think that's an easier question for me because I would just say, anybody who's new to doing music, I just, I would say, try to learn all the time. You're never too old to learn and you're never too old to learn off somebody younger than you.

161
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:32,000
And I spent a lot of time working in music. I always felt like that I could write songs and I always knew I could play.

162
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:56,000
But when I first got to, it started to happen for me a little bit. I started to really hone down what I was doing in terms of songwriting. I realised that I would just, what I've got a bit of a niche in now is that I've worked out how to make, how to say simple things and make them count, I suppose.

163
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:11,000
And find a market as well. So for instance, I like all kinds of music, but I worked out that one of the kinds of music I liked, which was country music, I realised there was a market, a growing market for it in the UK.

164
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:33,000
And I realised that I could, I could have, you know, make that successful and have a career in that. And that's what's happened really. And I'd say be true to yourself and what you believe in and the kind of things you'd expect to hear really, you know, about being honest about what you do and what you can do.

165
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Don't be worried about other people being technically better than you. I don't care about things like that. If someone's, say if I see someone who's amazing guitarist flashing all over the fretboard, doing a 20 minute long solo, it doesn't worry me because that's just them doing their thing.

166
00:23:50,000 --> 00:24:06,000
That's not my thing. It might not be even something I like, but I respect them. But it's not what I do. What I do is I can sing and I can play, and I just, I try to do my thing. And I'm not the lead singer in our band.

167
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:17,000
We've got a beautiful young woman who's a singer in our band. I'm just a songwriter and I kind of like put it together a little bit, you know.

168
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Do you guys have any upcoming singles or projects you want to tell us a little bit about today?

169
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Yeah, sure. We're actually going into the recording studio this Friday and Saturday. We're going to record our next single. Our next single is going to be called Midnight Call.

170
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:47,000
And it's going to be the first single from the new album which we're going to be making. So that's something which we're really excited and looking forward to doing.

171
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Walk me through a somewhat typical day of Adrian.

172
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Oh man, you're really giving me some questions there. A typical day for me, I suppose, is like most other people, fairly ordinary. I mean, I just do ordinary things like everybody else do.

173
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:18,000
You know, I get up like a proper Englishman. I have tea first thing in the morning. Then I have some coffee after that to kind of really kick myself into my day.

174
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:28,000
And then, you know, this time of year I like to get outdoors. I like to go walking. I like to be out in the elements.

175
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:38,000
And then while I'm out walking, I'm in the rhythm of while I'm walking, I kind of, that's when I sort of get more ideas for my music in the kind of rhythm of walking.

176
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Sometimes even when I'm driving I can do that as well. I might record a few little snippets of lyric or whatever they get onto my phone.

177
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:59,000
And then maybe in the evening, depending if I'm going out or staying in, if I'm staying at home, I might sit and sit with my wife and watch some TV, watch some Netflix.

178
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Or if we're not doing that, I might pick up my guitar or sit down at the piano and start putting some ideas down. But they're kind of typical, just pretty much ordinary stuff, I guess, really.

179
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,000
If you weren't doing music right now, what do you think you'd be doing?

180
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:31,000
If I weren't doing music, well, I'm always going to be doing music, so I can't really even answer that. If I wasn't successful at doing music, I'd still be doing music because if you're a singer, you don't suddenly stop singing.

181
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
You don't be a singer so you could sing in front of people. You might just sing in the shower.

182
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:46,000
But if you're a songwriter, if self-expression is something which you do, you can't stop yourself doing that, even if nobody is remotely interested in what you're doing.

183
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:53,000
So if I wasn't doing being a musician, well, earlier in my career, I was a teacher.

184
00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:07,000
And I have done that and that's fine, but it's not what I want to do all the time. The only thing I want to do all the time is do music and that's where I'm at, really.

185
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:13,000
If people want to learn more about you, where can they go to find more information?

186
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Well, they can go to...we have a website which is www.theheartlandrootsband.co.uk. But really, the way you see the most updated stuff about us, if you want to hear our music, you go to Spotify, The Heartland Roots Band, or go to YouTube, the same thing.

187
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:47,000
And we've got a big presence on Facebook, Instagram. Yeah, please come on, give us a like and you'll find everything about all of the band. There are six of us, not just me.

188
00:27:47,000 --> 00:28:00,000
There's Anna on keyboards, Paul on drums, Nick on bass, Lee on guitar, and Hannah is the lead singer. So there's lots of people to interact with if you want to come on and talk to us.

189
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:07,000
If you had one message to tell anyone that might be listening, what would that message be?

190
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Be yourself.

191
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Absolutely, I definitely agree with that. And Adrian, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention today?

192
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Hey, I don't know, but good luck to you, Caden, in all that you do. I see you're a very busy guy on media, working in radio and TV, and best of luck to you, and hopefully we can chat again soon.

193
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Adrian from The Heartland Roots Band, thank you so much for taking the time to come on The Cading Order Show today's Best Country Mix. We definitely appreciate your time and support.

194
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Hello and welcome to The Cading Order Show today's Best Country Mix. Joining me right here today is Patty Reese. Patty, how are you?

195
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Doing great, Caden. Great to talk with you.

196
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Well, thanks for joining us.

197
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Happy to be here.

198
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:10,000
So let's get started. We're getting to know you a little bit, and how you got started in music.

199
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Okay, sure. Is that the first question? How did I get started in music?

200
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Yeah.

201
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Well, I just always loved music. No one in my family was playing music. I'm the youngest of seven.

202
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:44,000
There was nobody in my house like really hanging out playing guitars or anything like that, but I just was infatuated with Kasey Cason's Top 40. I listened to the radio constantly, and I just loved music, period. Wanted to be a part of it.

203
00:29:44,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Oh, that's awesome.

204
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:15,000
If music wasn't an option for you, what do you think you'd be doing right now? Like if music wasn't an option, if, I mean, what would we do without it? But if it didn't exist, what other career path would you go down? What would you be doing right now?

205
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Well, when I was in high school, they had these tests that they would have us take that would tell us, based on how we answered a plethora of questions, what would be the best career for us. And the career that came up for me was a rancher.

206
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:48,000
And I do love working outside. I do love working with animals. So that kind of life would be good for me. I like working with my hands. I like the kind of work where you do a day's work, and when the day is done, the work is done.

207
00:30:48,000 --> 00:31:07,000
So, I've never worked at a desk. I've never worked in an office. I don't think I'm cut out for that kind of thing. So, yeah, something to do. Maybe farming. I don't know. Something like that.

208
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Where do you see yourself in the next couple years, or where do you want to be?

209
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Where do I want to be? I would like to be in a place where I've got a nice circuit touring with time off to write. Right now, it's like I just work and I write at the same time, and I always have.

210
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:48,000
But I've noticed some friends of mine, they tour, they work, and then they take time off and they write. But they've got it set up so that one finances the other. I never quite figured that out. So, maybe traveling a little more. My husband's going to retire soon.

211
00:31:48,000 --> 00:32:03,000
But you know what? I'm a lifer. I'm in it to win it. My quote-unquote peers who are older than me, I don't see anyone retiring from music. You know what I'm saying?

212
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Bruce Springsteen, I don't consider him my close peer, but I mean, Rolling Stones or Dolly Parton, I mean, who would have guessed when I was a teenager that these people would still be playing, and the most popular people in the world still? You know what I mean?

213
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:27,000
So if I were to follow their example, I'll still be playing, no matter what.

214
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:34,000
If you had an opportunity to play anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

215
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Wow.

216
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Anywhere in the world and where would I go and why?

217
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,000
That's a great question.

218
00:32:47,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Well, I mean, for me, I would love to play the Ryman in Nashville, Tennessee, the Mother Church, because that is the heart and soul of the music I love.

219
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:13,000
And I don't just mean country. I mean like, you know, soulful, truthful music. Americana, great, great, great music.

220
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:30,000
So, even though I've been down there a million times, I haven't been on that stage. I've been there to see other people play, but I sure would love to be on that stage one day. That would be a dream come true.

221
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:37,000
If people want to learn more about you, where can they find you, Patty?

222
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Well, I always say if you can't find me, it's because you're just not trying. My name is Patty Reese and that's P-A-T-T-Y R-E-E-S-E, like Reese's Pieces.

223
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:57,000
And if you just put my name in your search engine, my websites will come up, my social sites will come up. I'm streaming on all platforms.

224
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:15,000
This is my fourth album out and they've all charted. I'm out there. You can find me. So just put my name in your search engine or PattyReece.com, P-A-T-T-Y R-E-E-S-E, and you will find me.

225
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:22,000
If you had one message to anyone that might be listening, what message would you give them?

226
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Don't ever give up. Don't ever give up. In your darkest hour, just don't give up. Nothing lasts forever.

227
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Things that are great, things that are horrible. The only thing that stays the same is change.

228
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:54,000
I know for me, the saying, if nothing changes, nothing changes. Mood follows action. I just have to keep, like they say, throwing spaghetti on the wall.

229
00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:01,000
People are going, guy, you just keep producing, you just keep putting it out there, and blah, blah, blah, blah.

230
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:12,000
But for me, a lot of it is just like you've got to just keep moving. Being still isn't really good for me. I don't think it's good for anybody, really.

231
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:20,000
I'm not saying go out there and paint a masterpiece. For me, a lot of times, it's just, hey, get up and walk to the mailbox.

232
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Sometimes that's the 10-minute thought that takes me. It takes something for me to do that on a bad day, on great days.

233
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Like today, I did a ton of gardening and played some music, and I did a bunch of stuff. But not all days are like that.

234
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:47,000
So just take it a little tiny bit at a time, and just don't get up. I'll also say, because you know what? People are watching.

235
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:54,000
People are watching, and we can be an inspiration, especially when things aren't good, as long as we just keep going.

236
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Patty, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention today?

237
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Wow. I would just ask you to please check out my new single. It's called Lift Us Up. It's the new single off the same titled album, Lift Us Up, Patty Reese.

238
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:28,000
You can stream it or download it. I wrote it during the pandemic just to cheer myself up, really. I just wanted to write a happy song.

239
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:37,000
It starts out, who's going to lift us up? So please check it out.

240
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Patty, thank you so much for taking the time to come on The Kaden Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix. We appreciate your time and support so much.

241
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Thank you, Kaden. It's a pleasure talking with you.

242
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Hello and welcome to The Kaden Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix. Joining me right here today is Sharon Persilla. Sharon, how are you?

243
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,000
I am doing fine, Kaden. How are you?

244
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,000
I am doing wonderful. Thanks so much for taking the time to come on the show today.

245
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:10,000
I am honored. I hope Massachusetts gets to hear me.

246
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:16,000
So let's get started by getting to know you a little bit and how you got started in the music industry.

247
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Well, how I got started was actually when I was 10 years old, in the 70s, children didn't have really a good upbringing.

248
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:41,000
So my pain went to music. So my sisters had like the Carpenter's, Olivia Newton-John, stuff that I wasn't really known about.

249
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,000
So I would take them and I would listen to those records and listen to them.

250
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:54,000
And then one day I was like driving down the road with my dad in a station wagon singing Humming Along to Have You Ever Never Been Mellowed by Olivia Newton-John.

251
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,000
And my father screeched his tires and said, where did that come from?

252
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:05,000
But to let you know the background, we live in New Star, New Jersey.

253
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:18,000
So my aunt lived right across the street, right across the hall in those big buildings on Hamilton Street from May Rabbit, which was Eddie Rabbit's mom, the country singer Eddie Rabbit.

254
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:26,000
So I kind of knew him, kind of called him my honorary uncle. I was only three or four maybe years old seeing him.

255
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Then my uncle, because my parents didn't go to church, so my uncle did go to church and he took us to the Newark church.

256
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:48,000
So we, me, my sisters and brothers went downstairs to Bible study and we knew this little girl named Nippy, same age as me, to come find out she was Whitney Houston.

257
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:54,000
So, you know, and we grew around a lot of people that were in the music.

258
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:05,000
But I guess I have to contribute the pain that I went through to music and I never went to anything else and just stay with music.

259
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:15,000
And just kept, actually Bill Turner knew me since I was 18 years old.

260
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Bill Turner is a former lead guitarist for Bill Haley in the comments.

261
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,000
You know that one, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock song?

262
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:28,000
So he knew me. He knows me and he's still performing.

263
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:36,000
So I learned a lot from him and I did some work and studio for him besides my own.

264
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:44,000
I also sang, did some shows with Bobby Valley, which is Frankie Valley's younger brother.

265
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:49,000
So basically that's how I got started.

266
00:39:49,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Sharon, I have to say, isn't that interesting that you went to Bible study when you were younger and then happened to find out it used to, it was actually Whitney Houston.

267
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,000
That, that opened my eyes. I was like, what? Wow.

268
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Yep. It was Whitney Houston.

269
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:15,000
And I don't know if you know Dionne Warwick. Well, Dionne Warwick was her cousin.

270
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Dionne Warwick sang that song walk on by, or you know, a lot, a lot of the 70s songs, but she actually babysat me and my sisters and brothers one time.

271
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,000
And she got us church clothes and stuff. She was good people.

272
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:36,000
And there was a show in the 70s called Good Times with JJ Walker, whatever that guy was named.

273
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:45,000
And we, me and my sister Maureen actually stayed at the father and his wife's, John Amos.

274
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,000
That's what his name was. John Amos.

275
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:53,000
And yeah, me and my twin sister Maureen, we stayed there.

276
00:40:53,000 --> 00:41:01,000
So, and I got to tell you the other, other thing besides God, my sister Maureen,

277
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:09,000
she, she, because I went through a lot of pain when I was, I was a victim of sexual abuse when I was a child.

278
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:18,000
And nobody did it back then. Nobody did nothing about it. But my sister saw the rebellion, you know, how children rebel, throw things, smash things.

279
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,000
So she's got the tape recorders and she would bring it home and I would smash them.

280
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:33,000
She would never give up on me. And I thank her for that because I wouldn't be who I am today.

281
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Yeah, absolutely. I thank Maureen for that.

282
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,000
What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music?

283
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Where does that be like writing, singing, performing? What would you tell them, Sharon?

284
00:41:52,000 --> 00:42:03,000
I would, I definitely would tell them, make sure that's the right lane they want to go into because a lot of kids are pushed into it and they find out later it really wasn't for them.

285
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:11,000
So I will, I would say to anybody, reach for your dreams, go for your goals, you know, and then if it doesn't work out, you go for something else.

286
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Like this song, I have another original song called The Sun Shines Down. It's a yellow rose CD.

287
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,000
And I, somebody said that was climbing in Russia. And I was like, really?

288
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:29,000
But this song, I didn't think was going to, this country song, I didn't think people were going to relate to it.

289
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:35,000
But somebody said, oh, Sharon, I can relate to this song, you know, and I'm like, really, really surprised.

290
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:42,000
So, you know, I'm just, you don't question God's timing. I'm like, now God, really?

291
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:48,000
But, you know, I had a relationship with the late Loretta Lynn only on, only through Facebook.

292
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:55,000
And she would send me Bible verses and she would listen to my music and she would come at me and say, get your ass on the road.

293
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Because, Kayden, I was bullied a lot. I went through a lot of bullying,

294
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:09,000
during my life. And I still do because of my looks. But, you know what, now I know how to deal with it.

295
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:17,000
And you know what Loretta Lynn said? She said, you know, they used to bully me because I wore those big fancy dresses and

296
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,000
with the crystals on it. You remember Loretta Lynn, right?

297
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Yeah.

298
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Call Miner's Daughter?

299
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:31,000
So she like made me feel so much better. She was, don't pay no mind to them.

300
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:37,000
You just keep going. And I was like, thanks, Loretta.

301
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:42,000
So, you know, I would tell anybody, you know, make sure it's your plane, make sure it's your right goal.

302
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:53,000
And practice makes perfect. Always practice because now, because of me listening to my sister's songs and their albums like Carpenter's Olivia.

303
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,000
I do Carpenter. I can sound like Karen Carpenter. I could sound like Olivia.

304
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:06,000
And, but that's just things I do on the side for people to make them happy because we did a Carpenter show and it was awesome.

305
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,000
People were like lined up outside.

306
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:19,000
But, and then there was a contest in Victoria, Australia, Pulse of the Valley's FM for Olivia, best sounding Olivia.

307
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:24,000
So everybody goes, oh, why don't you sign up? So send the audio tape in. And I did.

308
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:31,000
And then one night, two weeks later, my husband said, you know what? There's a radio station on the phone for you.

309
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,000
I go, really? Yeah, I got a phone. And it was a DJ.

310
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:44,000
And he goes, we got a lovely girl from the stage and her name is Sharon Priscilla and she's got a song and she won the Olivia and John contest.

311
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Well, you know where I went like silent skating when Olivia got on the radio and told me I was going to take away her day job and that I won.

312
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:02,000
I said, I won just hearing her voice because I always want to hear her voice.

313
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:13,000
And the best thing to say that I can say to them, learn to take criticism and this business and don't get offended by it.

314
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:20,000
Because it only makes you more better at your craft.

315
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Sharon, if people want to learn more about you, where can they find you?

316
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:39,000
At www.SharonPriscillaVieira.com

317
00:45:39,000 --> 00:46:02,000
There are CDs up there. There's a tour date there. If somebody wants to book me for a venue in Massachusetts, just write a letter to there's like a thing in the back of the form you fill out and it will go to one of my promoters.

318
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:14,000
So, yeah. Sharon, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention today?

319
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Oh, they often go to, yes, they can go to Spotify.

320
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:26,000
If they have an Alexa, they can say Alexa, can you play Sharon Priscilla Vieira?

321
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Music, iTunes, I'm all over.

322
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:43,000
Sharon, thank you so much for taking the time to communicate and order show today's best country mix. We appreciate your time and support. Thank you.

323
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Thank you. Can I give some shout outs?

324
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Sure.

325
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:54,000
I want to give a shout out to my husband Tommy for always being there for me.

326
00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:16,000
My sister Maureen, my number one fan, and my family for their support. My London fans, Julie, and Australia fans, and everybody on Facebook and TikTok. Thank you so much for supporting me.

327
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Hello and welcome to the Kaden Gordon Show today's best country mix. Joining me right here today is Don Carnivore. Don, how are you?

328
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,000
I'm good. How are you, Kaden?

329
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:32,000
I'm doing quite all right. Thanks so much for taking the time to come on the show.

330
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Yes, no problem.

331
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:41,000
So let's get started by getting to know you a little bit and how you got started in music.

332
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Well, I've been in music for a while. I used to play in bands in the early days. I don't play as much now. I mostly write and record. That's kind of what I focus on.

333
00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:13,000
Just so people don't confuse me as the voice on the record, my voice has long been replaced on that tune. Since I wrote that tune, I use the same group of studio musicians and staying with the same singer. I like the guy that I'm using.

334
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:29,000
But it's all under my name, so it does seem like a misrepresentation of some sort that I'm not out there being the main artist. Clear that up right out of the bat so everybody knows.

335
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:38,000
And that's where I'm at. Mostly a songwriter, I would consider myself, and a producer.

336
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:44,000
What is it about music that you absolutely love about it, Don?

337
00:48:44,000 --> 00:49:01,000
For me, I think it's necessary, like a therapy or, you know, it's just something I have to do. I have to get the headphones on, I have to listen to tracks, assemble tracks, write parts.

338
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:12,000
I don't know, there's something about it in many different ways. Now I can just sit at a piano and just be perfectly content sitting there clinking keys and listening to, you know, chord things.

339
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:27,000
And then I can also sit there and, you know, bang out some rock songs or whatever. So I mean there's so many aspects to music, whether, you know, or just listening. Let's say it's not even my music. I want to listen to someone else. I enjoy that tremendously too.

340
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:33,000
It's been a big part of my whole life.

341
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:40,000
If you had an opportunity to duet or collaborate with any singer, Don, who would you choose and why?

342
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Any singer?

343
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Yeah.

344
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,000
That's a tough one.

345
00:49:48,000 --> 00:50:05,000
You know, it's so funny because my favorite singer is my daughter, who sang on a lot of tracks I did from the time she was probably 13 to 17 or 18 and then she doesn't want to be a singer. I mean that's what she, you know, I don't blame her.

346
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:15,000
I mean it's nobody needs to be a singer or whatever, be an entertainer, but she has such a wonderful tone to her voice and I don't know. I'd like to do a record with her.

347
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:30,000
As far as famous people, there's so many people I admire, but it would be hard for me to pick somebody. They're all good. I'd work with anybody that's talented, if I feel they're talented.

348
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Do you have any upcoming singles or projects you want to tell us a little bit about today?

349
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:45,000
Well, the single that's out now is Everything Changes When I'm Around You and it's kind of a country feel single.

350
00:50:45,000 --> 00:51:04,000
It's doing well as far as I can tell. I mean as far as people liking it and commenting and kind of building a buzz around itself with, you know, not a lot of promotion or anything and it's really fun to see. It's fun to watch people enjoy stuff like that.

351
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:16,000
Someone told me I needed a video and I just did a video with stock images, which is just clips you can find on the internet so there's no repercussion of putting this, you know, miniature movie together.

352
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:28,000
And I did that and put it up on YouTube just to see what, you know, I don't know. I've never done a video before and it, you know, when you think about it, it took me an hour to do a video whereas the song itself,

353
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:42,000
you probably got what 30, 40 hours in there at least, you know, on the one song. So, you know, between from writing to full production, mixing, mastering, I would say 40 hours.

354
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:56,000
So reasonable number of hours, if not more. But yeah, and so it's interesting but it does when you put pictures to the words, it does illustrate the lyric, you know, a bit and

355
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:09,000
I could say, you know, I mean, in the old days videos were big production items so I don't know. We'll see. We'll see what happens with it. That's all I'm at now. You know, you never know when inspiration hits when you write something.

356
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:14,000
When I wrote this song, I had nothing in my head it just came very quickly.

357
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:31,000
And I had just done a copy. I did a copy of a Robin Trower song called Bridge of Sighs and I changed it up completely change it up and so that's, you know, a long way away from a country version but and then suddenly within a week, boom, this song was there.

358
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:37,000
So you take what what they give you.

359
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:44,000
What advice would you give somebody that might want to start doing music.

360
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:49,000
Well, if your passion, follow your passion, you know, you know, it's not a.

361
00:52:49,000 --> 00:53:08,000
You know, you're Ed Sheeran or somebody fantastic you know I don't know there's no guarantee what you're gonna, how you're going to survive in this business you know or even if you teach music or anything but if it's your passion you'll enjoy it and that's, that's good enough for you.

362
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:18,000
It's a strong will inside you.

363
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:25,000
If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the time to write about Don.

364
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,000
We don't want that to happen.

365
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,000
We don't want that.

366
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,000
No, let's pass on that question.

367
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:39,000
Can I ask why.

368
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:50,000
I mean, you want to write a song about me but maybe someone like my wife or my daughter somebody, and I don't want them to do that so that's fine.

369
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,000
We'll just stay away from that idea.

370
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Got it. Okay.

371
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:05,000
Don if people want to learn more about you where can they find you.

372
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Well I mean I have songs up on Spotify, and I noticed they're all on YouTube I mean on YouTube you can now see my first ever video what I should, like I say I put it together in an hour so it's spectacular.

373
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:35,000
But I mean it's, I don't know it's interesting to do to see. But that's about, you know, the only place I mean I'm just trying to be out there and a couple of them in Apple has it.

374
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:52,000
It's a game so it's, I'm simple to find out there, and you know people want to enjoy it, you know, check it out there's all sorts of stuff for, you know, different flavors not not all country I've done a couple country but I do a lot of rock stuff

375
00:54:52,000 --> 00:55:06,000
and now some easy listening, you know it's whatever you write, you know I wrote during the pandemic a couple things that are probably dated pandemic dated now but that's up for everybody to enjoy.

376
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:10,000
That's all I care about.

377
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:19,000
Don, do you have one message that you would like to give to anyone that might be listening whether that be my fans or your fans.

378
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:26,000
No, just, you know, peace and love. I mean that's what it's all about here right.

379
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000
You know I heard a.

380
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:45,000
I guess it was the Michael grassy Tyson, and I got you whatever. He was talking on the science thing and he was just saying, you know that now see I'm going to make this a big mistake here and trying to paraphrase.

381
00:55:45,000 --> 00:56:01,000
He was saying there was like from the whole time of existence has only been 100 billion people on earth. And you know you think about it so you are one of them and then when you think about the odds of you being conceived, compared to, you know, what we know

382
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:13,000
about how the reproduction works. You know you're one in a million, if you're here. It's a very special place you're very special person to have this opportunity to.

383
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:22,000
I hope people realize that. I mean I think it's a wonderful thought, you know.

384
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:29,000
Absolutely and Don is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention today.

385
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:46,000
I would like to say something on my mind to be like just like you to hear the new single.

386
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:59,000
And then came out so nice so. Don, thank you so much for taking the time to come on the catering today's best country mix. We appreciate it so much. That sounds thank you very much.

387

388
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,920

393
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:50,680

395
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:05,280

398
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:23,840

399
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,360
I

400
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:37,840
Head to the beach, go hard and join us

401
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:45,840
Summer, summertime in California

402
01:00:45,840 --> 01:01:04,840
The sky is always blue, sunshine in Orlea

403
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:10,840
The moment your eyes are locked on mine, I knew it was gonna be a hell of a ride

404
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:16,840
Blond hair blowing in the east coast when it's like you were true godsend

405
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,840
Rolling fresh out of Broken Heart Boulevard

406
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,840
You and I were getting in that car

407
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:28,840
Going anywhere we wanted to go, but I, yeah

408
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,840
I felt love in the middle of the back road

409
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,840
Looking back, I can't believe I didn't know

410
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,840
Your heart was matching the beat of mine

411
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,840
Keeping rhythm and keeping time

412
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,840
There's no letting you know where the snow's gonna go

413
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,840
But the only thing that I really need to know

414
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,840
Is wherever you go, I go

415
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:54,840
I felt love in the middle of the back road

416
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,840
Moonlight shining right off the rear view

417
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,840
Hockey talk angels got nothing on you

418
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,840
You got my heart scared of skipping a beat

419
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,840
And we ain't even left this front seat

420
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,840
Sunrise is gonna be the tenth of me

421
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,840
Cause I know with the morning light you'll have to leave

422
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:16,840
But I know that this ain't gonna be the end

423
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,840
Cause I know that this ain't gonna be the end

424
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,840
Cause I know that this ain't gonna be the end

425
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,840
But I know that this ain't goodbye

426
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,840
I felt love in the middle of the back road

427
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,840
Looking back, I can't believe I didn't know

428
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,840
Your heart was matching the beat of mine

429
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,840
Keeping rhythm and keeping time

430
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,840
There's no letting you know where the snow's gonna go

431
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:45,840
But the only thing that I really need to know

432
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,840
Is wherever you go, I go

433
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:53,840
I felt love in the middle of the back road

434
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,840
In the middle of the back road

435
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:05,840
Here the stars are shining from your eyes like diamonds

436
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,840
And sun is coming out on the horizon

437
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:13,840
Feel more free than I ever thought I could be

438
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,840
I felt love in the middle of the back road

439
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,840
Looking back, I can't believe I didn't know

440
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,840
Your heart was matching the beat of mine

441
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,840
Keeping rhythm and keeping time

442
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,840
There's no letting you know where the snow's gonna go

443
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,840
But the only thing that I really need to know

444
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,840
Is wherever you go, I go

445
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:40,840
I felt love in the middle of the back road

446
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:46,840
I felt love in the middle of the back road
