8
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.880
Hi, Welcome to the Sound of Gold. This is my

9
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.399
seventeenth show. It just so happens to be November seventeenth,

10
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:02.320
and I just thought that was kind of funny. So

11
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.599
if you've been here before, welcome back. If you're a

12
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.000
new welcome. The Sound of Gold is based on My

13
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:14.680
focus is on music, musicians, music schools, music teachers, and

14
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:20.920
there is so much talent in our communities and there's

15
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:24.599
you know, if you go out and you go to restaurants,

16
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:30.480
you there's music playing, there's musicians, and sometimes you know them,

17
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.799
sometimes you don't. But the more you get out, the

18
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.239
more you get to know local musicians. And if you

19
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.959
have not started going out a lot, but are thinking

20
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.879
about getting out and maybe getting involved in some communities

21
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:52.519
that offer live music or some venues that offer live music.

22
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.400
You can go to dinner venues, dinner restaurants, you can

23
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:03.280
go to gosh, there's so much. There's there's the vfw's,

24
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.480
the Moose, the I don't even know all of these,

25
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.159
but there is so much out there. So if you're

26
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.360
looking to get out and about and groove and dance

27
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.960
and move around to some live music, definitely, wherever you're

28
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.719
calling it or wherever you're tuning in from, check your

29
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.759
local either google it or ask your neighbors, but definitely

30
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.840
your local environment, your local community has live music. With

31
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:33.599
that being said, I have and this is a return,

32
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.439
a return of what we call SoundStorm and the return

33
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.479
of SoundStorm. I say it that way because my very

34
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:47.000
first show wash with SoundStorm and we had a little

35
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:51.479
bit of technical sound issues. So it's my pleasure to

36
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:56.599
welcome back SoundStorm. And I'd like to introduce Steve Smith

37
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.000
and Dave Nudick.

38
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:03.000
And Steve, are you there, I'm here.

39
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.400
Hi, Yes, And we got message that Dave is working,

40
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.400
but he will try and pop in, but you can

41
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.919
and if he can, so thank you for making the

42
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.280
time to join us today on our show. And if

43
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.919
you heard, this is November seventeenth, and this is the

44
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.919
seventeenth show. I thought, that's pretty cool. That's funny.

45
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.479
Seven plus one is eight. That's infinity.

46
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.960
Yes it is. I love that. That's great.

47
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.319
So yeah, thanks for having us me or them.

48
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.680
And I'm a big fan of the show, so I

49
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:38.159
really can't wait to do this.

50
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.240
So Steve is not only a guest on my show,

51
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.280
Steve can I give it away? Steve is also my

52
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.159
husband and he's calling in off the road because he's

53
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.639
working today. So again, thank you for making the time.

54
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:01.080
And I want to dive right into Soundstore, and I

55
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.479
mean actually even before we dive into SoundStorm see for

56
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:08.599
our listeners. Music for us, for you and me, is

57
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.800
such a big part of our lives and a lot

58
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.719
of friends and family that we know are also musicians

59
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.439
or involved with music. And then we have friends that

60
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.839
are really not too involved because they're not musicians. And

61
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:27.079
that's okay. But I think for you and Dave, I

62
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.519
want to later get into like where you're performing and

63
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.879
what you perform, but being that you have the stage

64
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.160
right now, share with our audience, like what was your beginning,

65
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.680
like what led you to this musical path.

66
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.759
Well, it all started probably with my late mother.

67
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:50.879
Who was always play music while we were home, and

68
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:58.600
I was influenced her by her singing voice, and yeah,

69
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.560
we used to She used to play on a chord

70
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.199
organ and we would sing carpenters songs and things from

71
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:10.399
the early seventies because I'm that old, and and it

72
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.279
just grew from there, and then I had to take

73
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.199
a put it on the back burner for a long time,

74
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:22.839
and I got back into karaoke at home in middle

75
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:28.279
two thousand, no, not even OK, yeah, about two thousand probably,

76
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:34.040
And then from there I went to Smule, which was

77
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.079
an app remote app for karaoke all around the world,

78
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.160
and I would record with other people on that and

79
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:48.480
time and time again, everybody would say, why aren't you

80
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.240
out doing that for a living?

81
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.199
And I never gave it a second thought.

82
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:59.720
And then I started doing karaoke in person, and it

83
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.680
was right then that I said, yeah, I want to

84
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:03.240
be a singer.

85
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:04.279
That's that I mean.

86
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.240
I always wanted to be a singer, but I knew

87
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.680
that I had the chops for at that point.

88
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:13.480
And from there to open Mic, I met Jim.

89
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:19.199
Siggy and I finally did my first live performance January

90
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:20.800
of twenty twenty three.

91
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:25.319
Nice. Yeah, now you mentioned karaoke for our listeners, for

92
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.279
those that are maybe venturing into the music world or

93
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.639
thinking about it or maybe just starting. Now. You and

94
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.839
I'm skipping a little bit, but I'll get back to

95
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.480
my point. You and I we we do most of

96
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.360
mark so you but us together, we do have karaoke

97
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:46.879
every two weeks since Stewart. Right, So from you mentioned

98
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.120
you kind of started with karaoke and the smell, which

99
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.399
is like an online karaoke, just not in person, right,

100
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:59.279
And would you say to our listeners that karaoke is

101
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:04.160
a wonderful place to start because I know what my

102
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.240
definition is, but what's your definition of why karaoke would

103
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.800
be a good place to start if you love singing

104
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.319
and want to learn to kind of be a part

105
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:13.959
of the community and sing.

106
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.199
Yeah, there's there's a karaoke community, which is a phenomenal

107
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:24.519
support system within the venue that you're at. There's no

108
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:29.680
there's no belittling people and anymore and stuff like that.

109
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:35.199
Everybody's right there because they know where they were when

110
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:40.360
they started, so everybody gives everybody a fair shake, you know.

111
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:45.639
And then to transfer to the live community was even

112
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.920
more of a surprise because you know, once you have

113
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:55.639
the pitch, and once you have the cadence correct and

114
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:01.040
you can hit your marks, then live views as a smooth,

115
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.160
smooth transition or I felt it was, you know sure,

116
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:06.040
and I.

117
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.040
Would say I can if you don't mind me adding

118
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:12.439
to that karaoke you said, you know, people do not

119
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.879
belittle you. A's a group of it's a community where

120
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:21.839
everybody started somewhere the beginning usually, but to step outside

121
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.120
and to be on stage is very a little bit

122
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.319
scary because we're all afraid of rejection. However, to be

123
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.560
able to be in that community, stand up, show up

124
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.480
and do the best that you can. After a while,

125
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.879
and I can say this for myself, after you keep

126
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.879
on doing it over and over again, you really build

127
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:45.399
your confidence, of course, and you not only build your confidence,

128
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:49.879
but you can you get feedback, like not criticism, but

129
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.360
feedback that you want because I think in life, whether

130
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.759
you're a musician or whatever you're doing, we kind of

131
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.879
need that feedback to know that if we are doing

132
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.120
it right or wrong or whatever. So we all need

133
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.320
a little bit of support and guidance in our journeys

134
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:11.679
whatever we're doing. Absolutely, yeah, so that's wonderful. So Jim

135
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.919
I know you sing with Jim, and we haven't seen

136
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.159
Jim in a little while. However, you have joined with Dave.

137
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.000
And as we mentioned a few minutes ago, Dave is

138
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.120
working and may pop in if you can. How did

139
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:26.879
you meet Dave?

140
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:30.759
So I started going to karaoke the first time at

141
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.000
Johnny Mangoes in.

142
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:34.960
Stupiter.

143
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.480
There was a guy, yeah, Juper Florida, And there was

144
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.679
a guy there named Tony who always sang every work,

145
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.120
every week shout out Tony Simon's wherever you are. He

146
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.120
was the one that invited me up to the Stuart Moose.

147
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:57.240
And again the community just envelops you and brings you

148
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.360
in as one of their own. Afterwards, just to few

149
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:04.559
short weeks, and you know, Dave and his wife Tammy

150
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.840
are like family to me and now us, you know.

151
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.759
And yeah, that's where everything started, was right there.

152
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:17.759
And then every and I'm not so new anymore but

153
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:23.360
fairly new, newer to the community of like the Moose

154
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.960
or the VFW. And from what I understand and what

155
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:30.440
I've learned is that because I actually knew nothing about it,

156
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:34.840
I mean, I didn't understand it. But it's a it's

157
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.399
a meeting place, it's kind of like the idea of Cheers,

158
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.960
Remember Cheers, that bar where everybody is like the.

159
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:43.960
Same, everybody knows your name.

160
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.320
Everybody knows your name. Yeah, and it's welcoming. It's not

161
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.480
like that typical idea of a bar of like if

162
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.519
people go and get slashed and they're rude and obnoxious.

163
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.200
It's a community that wants to get out and about

164
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.000
that doesn't really want to stay home alone or just

165
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.279
like watch TV. They want to be in a community.

166
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:05.799
You don't have to necessarily drink. I don't drink. You

167
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.159
don't drink. So it's not about the drinking. It's about

168
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.080
the community. It's about connecting. It's about the support system

169
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:17.120
that's there, and that I'm advertising the Moose or VFW.

170
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:23.919
But it's just I never knew before how like you said,

171
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:28.639
they embrace you. They embrace you because you just it's

172
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:32.480
the same people over and over again, and it's and

173
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:36.080
there is I think in every chapter from the Little

174
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:39.240
I Know, every chapter there is a karaoke night. There

175
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:44.200
there is events for like barbecues and parties and and

176
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:49.679
here's Cali, our cat is visiting on stage here. And

177
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:53.519
so you know, for our listeners, if you use our

178
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.559
home a lot. If you're not sure where you want

179
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:57.679
to go in your community and you're kind of shy

180
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.360
about going to like the local restaurant or the local whatever,

181
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.320
like we have a brew house, right, If that doesn't

182
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.919
throws you off a little bit, definitely check in with

183
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.639
your community and your town for the local chapter of

184
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:14.440
your MOOSE or VFW, and you don't necessarily have to.

185
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.519
I know, I used to think to be a member

186
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.240
of the Moose you had to be in the military,

187
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.519
but you don't know. Yeah, so that would be a

188
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.919
wonderful place to start. And then the VFW. I don't

189
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.600
know if that's a different story, but we don't really

190
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.879
go there, but you do perform there, so going so

191
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.399
skipping a few notes here performing. When is the next

192
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.879
time that you and Dave are performing and where so

193
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.639
our audience can tune in and maybe show up.

194
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.360
Yeah, we are at the Jensen Beach VFW on Black

195
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.840
Friday Friday, November twenty eighth, so everybody's got a four

196
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.399
day weekend. Usually come on out to the Jensen Beach

197
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.039
VFW and here Dave and I.

198
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.960
Okay, now, if people want to check out your music,

199
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.879
can listen to some of your music. What are some

200
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.879
of the maybe connections social media that they can tune

201
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:11.519
into to listen to some of your songs and your work.

202
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.120
Yeah, you can find that on Facebook.

203
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:19.840
I have a wonderful videographer who takes great videos of

204
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.799
practices as well as performances, and we throw it out there.

205
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.000
SoundStorm twenty twenty five, I believe is in the way

206
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.600
to find it. You can't miss the sound with the

207
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:40.519
lightning bolt Storm insignia. So that's that's where we are

208
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:47.399
there nowhere else yet. My website hasn't updated to use

209
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.240
that yet, so I can't go to Steve Smith dot

210
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.879
live and see those dates yet.

211
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.720
Facebook is a wonderful social media platform. I mean I

212
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.320
do most I would have to say ninety percent of

213
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.679
my marketing, not marketing, but my what I do I

214
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.519
put on on Facebook. That's like my go to and

215
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:12.559
I think that's one of the best go tos because connections.

216
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:16.039
Thank you, because you you've reached the most people. And

217
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.480
I think it's easily accessible. There's so much out there.

218
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.279
There's the TikTok, there's the LinkedIn, there's Instagram and a

219
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.320
lot of I think younger generation is more on the

220
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:33.879
Instagram However, Facebook also is LinkedIn with Instagram, so if

221
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.320
you're on Instagram and not more on Instagram than you

222
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.000
are on Facebook, you can still find SoundStorm on stor

223
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.519
So Steve tell us, I know, but tell the audience

224
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.879
what kinds of music do you and Dave love to play?

225
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:50.200
Like?

226
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.559
What is your like from start to finish? Let's say

227
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.759
you have two hours and I'm kind of playing a

228
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.879
little silly here because I'm there every practice so I know,

229
00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.399
I know.

230
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:00.519
But for our.

231
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.240
Audience that wants to get to know you and Dave

232
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.799
and SoundStorm, let's share with them. How do you share

233
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.720
with them how you show up, what you deliver, and

234
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:10.559
what you bring to.

235
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:13.559
The dance for Yeah, we bring a lot of two step.

236
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:19.000
We're trying to get more of other dance songs, you know,

237
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:25.639
seventies grooving, eighties grooving songs. We're working on getting some

238
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.399
of those in. We got some, but probably not enough.

239
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:34.080
We like country. Both of us sing it very well,

240
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.279
and we do a great job playing off each other

241
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:42.720
and harmonizing and and splitting up vocals and then splitting

242
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:47.720
the harmonies as well. Jim Segy, you taught me most

243
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:52.840
of that. So again, shout out to Jim.

244
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:55.840
So, well, let me ask you this, what is your

245
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.879
favorite like? Do you have a favorite genre that if

246
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:02.120
it were You're a team player. And I'm not just

247
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:04.679
saying this because you're my husband, but I've watched you

248
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:09.000
practice and this is a message for all of our listeners.

249
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.000
I'm going to skip a beat, but I'm going to

250
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.279
get back to my point. I had one of my

251
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.519
I'm also a music teacher for my listeners, I teach piano,

252
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:20.519
and I had one of my students' moms come up

253
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.679
to me and she said, I want my daughter to,

254
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.320
you know, audition for Bop. Can you help them? And

255
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.679
I said, well, yes, I've I've had other students that

256
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.279
have auditioned for BOB. I said, the biggest secret and

257
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:35.039
I said this to my student as well. I said,

258
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:40.000
the biggest giveaway secret is that judges look for how

259
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:46.240
well you are able to work with others. Right, So,

260
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.840
if you're a musician and you're you're playing a piece,

261
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:54.759
however there's room to play with other musicians. You want

262
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:58.000
to be a team player so that you're not rigid

263
00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:00.519
in your in your practice, and you're not rigid and

264
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:04.799
your playing, and then it makes it easier to say, yes,

265
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.079
you know, this student would be a wonderful addition to

266
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.200
back because she can play with these different groups or

267
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.680
these different genres, and and that would not you know,

268
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.920
that would be great. So back to you, I'm saying

269
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:22.359
that because I've seen you practice and I've even complimented

270
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.559
you before because you're you know, and again for the

271
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:31.519
audience out there that's out listening or practicing or getting

272
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.519
involved with a new band, when you show up and

273
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:37.759
you bring what you've got to the table and I

274
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:40.920
Ellen said this, Ellen Vargas said this. You know, you

275
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:43.480
want to like, it's easy to be stuck in your

276
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.480
head and stuck in your way as how you're trained,

277
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.160
but you want to remind yourself to be flexible. And

278
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.200
you specifically said or didn't say that you were had

279
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:59.759
any training. However, I've seen you practice and you're just

280
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.559
so easy to work with because Dave will say this,

281
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:04.720
or when you were practicing with Jim, Jim would say this,

282
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:07.839
and you were just like you didn't skip a beat.

283
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.720
You were just you listen to what they said and

284
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.759
you just follow it through. And I compliment you so

285
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.559
much because I don't know that everybody could do that

286
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.759
so easily because it's not like second, third, fourth try.

287
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.519
It's like you're right on it, right, Okay, Well, thank you,

288
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.400
You're welcome. You're welcome. And with that being said, I

289
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:30.359
think I know, but maybe I don't know. Have you

290
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.680
had any training in the past, I had coaching and

291
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:35.839
voice coaching or none at all.

292
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:39.960
And I probably still do not sing properly, but I

293
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:44.240
sing enough. I sing well enough to get by and

294
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.359
maybe a short term thing and I might have to

295
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:53.519
alter some things, but for now, it's how I do it,

296
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.240
and I hear it, I can sing it.

297
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.759
It's second nature, you know.

298
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:02.720
It's a natural thing, perfect pitch, whatever they call it,

299
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:03.960
it's just a natural thing.

300
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.680
So I'm also very impressed. And a lot of other

301
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.759
friends of ours and other people have said, Now, let's

302
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.480
say on on a night that you're playing, right, let's

303
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:19.160
say you have two set lists, right, maybe fifty songs,

304
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.279
maybe more, I don't know. You get on stage and

305
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.480
you sing all the words to the songs. I've seen you,

306
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:31.599
I've listened to you. You really don't have the music

307
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:32.160
in front.

308
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.680
Of you, the lyrics right right right, And I know.

309
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.000
Like even when you've played with Jim, you have not

310
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.119
had the music in front of you, but you know

311
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.759
every word to every song. What's your secret?

312
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.079
Well, I eat my weedies in the morning, and no,

313
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:49.079
I have no idea.

314
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:50.240
I have no idea.

315
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:53.480
It's just that you know when you sing the songs

316
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:58.359
as long as you have you know America stylistics, whatever

317
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:01.799
it is, when you sing them since a child, and

318
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:03.880
and you sing them with the radio and you turned

319
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.559
the radio off and you're going down the street and

320
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:07.680
you're singing the song.

321
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:08.839
What difference does.

322
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:11.119
It matter that you're in front of a live audience

323
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:14.160
sing the song as you know it sung you know,

324
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.240
and and if you you know, and and then throw

325
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:18.920
your own style into it.

326
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:24.359
And that's it's it's not to me, you know. They

327
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:25.359
I'm sorry.

328
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:31.279
Jim had me learn the verse of a song that

329
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:33.359
I had never sung. And how many times did I

330
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.039
run it through for and I had it down, you know.

331
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.759
So again it's it's natural ability. It's I don't think

332
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.359
it's anything I can teach anybody, you know, it's just

333
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:48.440
close your eyes, remember the song, remember the way the

334
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.119
song is sung on the radio, and envisioned that and

335
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:53.319
belt it out.

336
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:57.000
Now, there's been times where I've been with you at

337
00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:59.359
practice where there's a song that you might not be

338
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:02.640
familiar with, and I'm saying this to the audience. I

339
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.839
kid you not. He'll look at this the maybe scroll

340
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.880
it on his cell phone because he's learning a new

341
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:12.599
song that he doesn't know, maybe not even five minutes

342
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.039
and he's like, okay, I'm ready. And then Jim will

343
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:18.200
play a song, or you know, play a song, or

344
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.319
a day will play a song and you just you

345
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.519
sing it right through right. Do you have any tips

346
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:28.599
for our listeners on memory, on how to remember something

347
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:33.119
new or how do you adapt to that rhythm and

348
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.200
that flow of the of the words and the notes

349
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:39.279
without any hiccups. It's amazing.

350
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.079
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

351
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.240
I like I said, I don't think it's anything that

352
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:46.640
I could teach anybody.

353
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:49.319
I just feel, you know.

354
00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:52.319
There were one of the guys of the Stewart Moves

355
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:54.960
used to always say somebody would come up to me

356
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:56.839
and say, hey, would you do a duet with me

357
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.000
for this song? And I never heard it in my life,

358
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.160
And I'd go out back and listen to it twice

359
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:05.799
and go back in and act like I've heard it

360
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:08.640
for thirty years, but I don't know how I do.

361
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:12.799
That's it's a gift, God's gift, you know. And I'm

362
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:16.839
just out now finally I figured out my path and

363
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:21.599
now I'm finally when well, yeah, you do.

364
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.160
A great job. Thanks, You're welcome. So the next time

365
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:29.640
you're playing is November twenty eighth with Dave SoundStorm and

366
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.240
you're playing at the VFW and Jensen.

367
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.480
Beach, Jensen Beach, yep, right, and a.

368
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:38.400
Lot of shows that you and Dave do are mostly

369
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:42.640
in the Treasurer coast right now, right right now. If

370
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:46.119
a venue is our listeners right now. If somebody wants

371
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:50.319
to contact you and Dave is Facebook the best way

372
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:51.119
to connect.

373
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:55.880
Facebook has Dave's number on the page so they can

374
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.279
call him and book and then he gets with me

375
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:02.200
and I check the calendar or any other you know,

376
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:04.640
thing going on if there's conflict or whatever.

377
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:07.960
But yeah, that's that's the fastest way really.

378
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:12.680
Now the holidays are upon us. Next week? Is is it?

379
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.680
Next week? Yeah? Next week is Thanksgiving already? Wow?

380
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.240
It is? So next Friday night, next Friday, and.

381
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:23.640
Then with the holidays coming up, are you booked? I

382
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.960
think you have the VFW next month as well.

383
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:31.799
Yeah, we have the VFW again Friday, December nineteenth, and

384
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:34.079
if you want to keep on going, we have the

385
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:39.480
Friday January twenty third, twenty twenty six at the same venue,

386
00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:44.839
Jensen BEACHVFW and it's free to enter and just sit

387
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.759
and listen, you know, have a drink, sit back, and

388
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:51.039
let us take you on a magical journey.

389
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:51.720
You know.

390
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:56.400
It could be sixties, seventies, eighties, could be country, could

391
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:57.480
be blues, could.

392
00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:02.599
Be you know, you know I love the slow. Yes.

393
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:08.799
So with that being said, and we talked about how

394
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:11.480
to get in touch with you, what would you share

395
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:17.160
with our audience as far as you've made your connections

396
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.200
the way you have, but let's say some of our

397
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:22.960
audience is just venturing out or thinking about venturing out

398
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.160
to meet people like you didn't. As you mentioned, you

399
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.960
didn't just start like where you're at today, Like you've

400
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.039
built your way here and you continue to grow and

401
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:37.839
you continue to meet people in the community and have

402
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:46.400
other opportunities greet you. Would you recommend that Let's see,

403
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:48.000
there's a few questions I want to ask at the

404
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:49.519
same time, but I can't do that. I got to

405
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:53.440
ask once one at a time, would you recommend that

406
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:58.799
people go out and get a feel for maybe a

407
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:01.400
place like if there been wanting to venture and step

408
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:06.519
like similar to your pathway with singing. What would be

409
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.759
your advice for for somebody that's not sure.

410
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:12.960
I mean, I'm just an infant in this industry, so

411
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:17.400
I really can't specifically say what to do, but open

412
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:22.039
mic seems to be the best chance I think for

413
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:27.119
venturing out, playing your guitar, playing harmonica, whatever you're going

414
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:32.240
to do. Another great community Angelo's in Jupiter Monday night,

415
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:37.359
six to nine will be there tonight. That's just the

416
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.680
you know, Gary Frost's hosts, and he's such a gracious host.

417
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:43.079
He'll play guitar for you. If you just want to

418
00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:45.680
go up and sing, he'll play guitar for you. That's

419
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.559
how I started. I went up, I said, you want

420
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:51.200
to play Tequila Sunrise for me? He played it, I

421
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:54.440
sang it, and then the then the I was off.

422
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:58.519
It was off right there I had I said, this

423
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:01.599
is where it is, this is it? And after that,

424
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:05.359
you know, Jim Jim put me on stage with him

425
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:08.559
and the race was on. But yeah, that that's the

426
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.599
that's the best thing. Bring your bring your equipment. It

427
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:14.359
is a great community.

428
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:18.400
And you don't want you don't want to hum it.

429
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.000
We all juggle so much. We have you know, we

430
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.000
all have a most ninety people have a job and

431
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:29.960
a family, your friends, and so it's a constant juggle.

432
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.839
And then like you have, our show is about SoundStorm.

433
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:36.839
However we're also talking about Jim. So my point is

434
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:41.160
is that you know, don't limit yourself to like one group.

435
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:46.839
It's all fair play to kind of dabble in a

436
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:49.480
couple of different groups because then it brings different parts

437
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:53.920
of you alive and you get some experience, different realms

438
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.279
of yourself that you didn't even know. Because music is

439
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:59.119
so magical, we don't even know what we've got to

440
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.440
give until we're giving it. And yeah, and so you know,

441
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.119
with with the juggle, I mentioned this I think to

442
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.559
Ellen or or THEA in one of our previous shows.

443
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.079
It's a juggle, right, So you know, you want to

444
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:16.960
do what you can, but you definitely want to get

445
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:19.920
your priorities, keep your priorities straight and not you know,

446
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:23.240
give up. Okay, I'm not going home. I'm just going

447
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:28.640
open mic hopping and band hopping. Like you want to

448
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:33.039
have priorities and be sensible about it. But you know,

449
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.920
in a reasonable amount of time, let yourself, you know,

450
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.119
spread out a little bit enough to kind of see

451
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:43.440
where you fit. Because maybe one band here might not

452
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:47.559
feel as homey as this band over here. So you

453
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.519
want to you want to try a little bit. My

454
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.880
dad used to say, and I lived by this when

455
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:54.720
my dad was alive. He used to say, life is

456
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:57.119
a schamorgous board, and you want to try a little

457
00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:59.519
bit of everything because you want to know what you

458
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.279
like because the next time you go, you'll know what

459
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:03.400
you don't want.

460
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:07.960
So Spielberg got it from your dad then, right laugh

461
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:10.079
is like like a box of chocolates.

462
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:11.079
Right then?

463
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:12.000
That was Forrest Gump.

464
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:12.759
I know.

465
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:17.359
I said Spielberg did did Forrest Gump, And that's where

466
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:18.480
he got it from your dad.

467
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:23.480
Now we know probably And you mentioned open mic, so

468
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.880
I'm gonna I'm gonna just raise the bar here. So

469
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:31.400
open mic is not only fun to meet other musicians

470
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:34.279
that haven and to have an opportunity to be on stage.

471
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:37.480
But you and I met at open mic, and if

472
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.039
it were not for open mic, we might I don't

473
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:44.440
know where we would have met if not so so

474
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:46.359
you never know who you're going to meet at open mic.

475
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:50.839
You never know what opportunities, So open mic is very

476
00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:56.480
special to us, exactly. Yes, and uh Angelo's and Jupiter.

477
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:01.000
Angela's also opened to another venue in Stewart and I

478
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.480
do not remember the date right now, but angela is.

479
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:06.440
I will have the owners on on this show to

480
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:10.119
talk about the venue. I just don't have a date

481
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:14.240
in mind right now. So yes, So Angela's in Jupiter.

482
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:17.880
If you are a Floridian and you live in the

483
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:21.160
Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter area, come out and visit us

484
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:25.279
tonight every Monday night right with Gary Frost.

485
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.440
And we try to make every Monday. I mean it

486
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:29.920
depends on where am I where I am on the day.

487
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:35.279
Yes, yes, and that's okay. I don't know what do

488
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:39.279
you think, Steve would would it be strange? I don't

489
00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:42.079
know how the sound would be If we do, we

490
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:45.599
have a piece that you and Dave have recently sung,

491
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:48.599
or maybe a practice that we can share because I

492
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:53.799
know we're live. However, our listening audience who's not seeing

493
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:56.759
us can still listen to what to what we're talking

494
00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:58.880
about and listen to our music. I mean, is it

495
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.000
do you think it would be possible to to share

496
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:05.279
some music or your You are on your.

497
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:07.559
Phone, correct, I'm on my phone right.

498
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:09.440
Okay, so then that's not possible.

499
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:11.759
No, no, unfortunately not.

500
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:15.400
I'll tell you next time if I get to do

501
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:17.759
this again, I'm definitely going to use an iPad so

502
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:22.119
I can see you better, your beautiful, beautiful face.

503
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:23.440
Oh, thank you.

504
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:27.680
I told you I was a fan. I told you

505
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:28.359
I was a fan.

506
00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:33.319
Yes, you are my biggest fan. You flatter me.

507
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:33.640
Still.

508
00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:39.720
So getting back to Dave and SoundStorm, I'm going to

509
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:43.839
give a secret away because this is only going to

510
00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:48.319
benefit some of our listeners. And that secret is and

511
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:53.200
Tiya told Dave who told you? Who told me about

512
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:54.160
jam Zone?

513
00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:55.519
Right? Right?

514
00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:58.200
What do you know about jam Zone that we could

515
00:30:58.200 --> 00:30:58.920
s Zone?

516
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:07.720
Jamsung's an app that uses studio musicians to recreate thousands

517
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:12.039
and thousands of songs and allows you to take out

518
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.920
every channel of the music. You want to take out

519
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:17.839
the horns, you take out the horns, you want to

520
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:20.799
take out the background vocals, you can do that. You

521
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:24.240
take out the main guitar and play over it, you

522
00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:28.119
can do that. So, yeah, that is a fantastic app

523
00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:30.519
and we use it now, yes.

524
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:35.160
And would you say that it has better or more

525
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:39.920
music on it than like is it comparable to like Terrafun?

526
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:41.400
Is that like.

527
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:46.440
No carafun Cara Fun is strictly a karaoke app. All

528
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:50.039
you can do is drop out the main vocal with

529
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:56.880
kampu Host is another app that uses tracks, so you

530
00:31:56.920 --> 00:31:59.559
can drop out certain certain.

531
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:01.920
Instruments out of it.

532
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:05.720
That would be the comp the comp to it, which

533
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:09.559
I've only been experienced with Dave once or twice.

534
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:13.319
But now now jam Zone is the way to go,

535
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:14.079
and that.

536
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:19.039
Sounds more reasonable because, yeah, like you said, you could

537
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:23.240
drop out the horns or the bass or you know,

538
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:27.440
the violin, whatever other instruments are in that song, so

539
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:31.440
you can actually nitpick and take out what you don't want,

540
00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:36.160
which sometimes is good because all music is beautiful. But

541
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:40.119
sometimes you have a beautiful voice like you do, and

542
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:45.279
sometimes I think maybe I'm just partial. The less instrumental

543
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:49.559
that's backing you up, the more we can hear your instrument,

544
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:50.799
which is your voice.

545
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:51.400
Yeah.

546
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:56.160
That that's one thing that I'm looking toward within the

547
00:32:56.200 --> 00:33:00.519
future is dropping some extra stuff out of it and

548
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:07.079
making it more acoustic and just a homey feel, you know.

549
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.799
Not the bombastic you know, extra piano solos and things

550
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:17.359
like that, you know, but it's a work in progress and.

551
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.839
We'll figure it out as we go along. Yes, because

552
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:21.799
there's nobody there.

553
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:23.799
On stage playing piano for us, So why do we

554
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:25.440
have piano playing in the background?

555
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:30.480
You know? Not yet, not yet, that's true.

556
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:35.680
Not yet, yes, intind Well, thank you so much for

557
00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:38.440
taking the time. I know you're you've had a busy

558
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:42.200
day at work and you know you've taken the time

559
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:45.880
to detour a little bit to make this happen. And

560
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:49.240
Dave is stuck at work. Well we miss him today, however.

561
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:52.519
Yeah, for sure, if you're.

562
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:56.200
Wanting to connect with Dave and Steve SoundStorm on Facebook

563
00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:59.720
Downstorm twenty twenty five you said, is the easiest way

564
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:06.480
you connect, and sure and actually tune into Facebook Sounds

565
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.599
from twenty twenty five so you can hear some of

566
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:11.519
their music and kind of get some glimpses of some

567
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:14.840
of their practice time behind.

568
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:18.840
State, behind the scenes, made by a world class videographer.

569
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:20.599
That would be me.

570
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:24.920
Do you have any last minute words to share with

571
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:29.760
our listeners today? Again, this show is going out to

572
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:38.239
amateur musicians, skilled musicians, professional musicians, music schools, music teachers,

573
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:40.159
music venues.

574
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:43.119
Yeah, well, if you like to sing, go to karaoke,

575
00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:48.039
because that's where that's where it's at for singers. If

576
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:51.360
you want to be into the into the live music

577
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:54.280
and start playing out on your own, go to open mic.

578
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:56.480
Yep, that's the way to go.

579
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:00.920
And do I plug us at Stuart Mood every other week,

580
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:04.119
come out and uh sing karaoke with us.

581
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:06.599
And the date that you'll be doing that, we'll be

582
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:07.360
doing that again.

583
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:08.599
That would be.

584
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:11.960
December second, is that or no, December fourth.

585
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:15.360
I'll take your word for it. I think I think

586
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:19.159
you're right. December fourth, correct, December fourth from at what

587
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:24.119
time we started seven and we go to ten okay yep, all.

588
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:26.800
Right, And there's all kinds of music.

589
00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:31.320
And yeah, there's venues everywhere for karaoke and there's probably

590
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:34.360
in the Treasure Coast area alone. You could probably go

591
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:39.639
once every night somewhere just just Karaoke. Stars of the

592
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:46.000
Treasure Coast has a Facebook page and on that page

593
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:52.079
is a chart that shows where everything is in this area.

594
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:55.119
And did they have the same thing in like the

595
00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:57.000
Palm Beach Gardens in Jupiter area.

596
00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:00.239
Do you think they may but I've never seen it.

597
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:04.440
I know they I know they cover Jupiter and Hope sound,

598
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.119
but I don't think they go any further than that.

599
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.559
I think I think if you wherever you are in

600
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:14.320
the world or in the United States, uh, if you

601
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:19.239
just google open mic, yeah, I think you'll find a

602
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:21.920
whole list of venues in your area that you can

603
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:29.000
And it's just it's like extended family. Sure is well,

604
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:30.719
thank you Steve for for being.

605
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:33.559
Um, you've got plenty of those family all You've had

606
00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:36.639
plenty of those family on our on your show already.

607
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:40.559
You know, Yes, our extended family, our friends. Yes, yep,

608
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:43.559
they've been on our show. And they're nothing but inspirational.

609
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:48.679
I mean that they're not an offing. Nobody's nothing but yes,

610
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:54.280
everyone in our lives is just like so inspirational, so supportive.

611
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:57.800
And for our listeners out there who are wanting to

612
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:01.960
get out there, you're just gonna find like minded people

613
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:05.400
that just like you, just like me, just like we're

614
00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:08.440
not any better than anybody else. We're just regular folks

615
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:12.239
that just want to enjoy life and meet new people.

616
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:16.000
And there's the saying I've heard that the older you get,

617
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:20.480
the less likely likely is to like meet more friends.

618
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:23.639
But you know what, the older I get, I don't

619
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:26.239
want to say that. The younger I get, I find

620
00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:30.280
the more opportunities I have to meet more people and

621
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:34.440
to meet more friends. And it's just it just makes

622
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:38.519
life so much sweeter because nobody's judging you any you know,

623
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:42.119
it's nobody's judging you. We're all in the same boat,

624
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:44.840
like more people. If you're worried about what somebody else

625
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:48.559
is thinking, I promise you I almost can bet on

626
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:51.800
so much to say that that person is more worried

627
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:54.960
about what you're thinking about them than what you think

628
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.559
they're thinking about you, right right, And we get so

629
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:00.920
stuck in our heads. So if you get stuck in

630
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:03.360
your head with that, not you, but our listeners like,

631
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:08.920
just stop, stop and recalibrate and think. You know, they're

632
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:11.360
probably thinking the same thing and worrying about what I'm

633
00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:15.239
going to think of that. So so just get out there,

634
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:18.400
you know, and if you're not very social, just show

635
00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:23.159
up anyway. There's a time her yeah, when I will

636
00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:25.559
say this, not to take away from a sound storm,

637
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:28.400
but in our conversation here, there was a time when

638
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:34.000
I raised my daughter and once she was seventeen eighteen

639
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:36.719
and kind of like doing her own thing. I started

640
00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:39.039
stepping out a little bit and meeting more friends and

641
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:43.440
doing more things, and I was I found myself to

642
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:48.920
be very sheltered because I was you know, I'm not

643
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:51.760
going to call it rejection, but it's just it's a

644
00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:54.360
little scary when you step out of your comfort zone

645
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:58.559
and you want to get out there. So whatever stage

646
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:01.599
of life you're in and you're want need to expand,

647
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:05.360
do it right, Just step out, step out there. And

648
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:08.840
if you're if you are like really really scared, maybe

649
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:11.519
bring a friend, like go somewhere, do something different and

650
00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:15.480
uh and you'll be surprised how many more friends you'll meet.

651
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:21.199
Even the uh Karma Coastal Karma I had, I had

652
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:24.800
the owner on here, Charles I think it was I

653
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:27.920
think that was his name, Charlie, And he even said

654
00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:30.039
a lot of people that show up end up becoming

655
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:32.639
really good friends and end up like meeting for lunch

656
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:35.719
and it's not about the alcohol. It's just a place

657
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:39.480
to meet, get together, listen to live music and and

658
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:40.239
be supportive.

659
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:43.519
But right, yeah, and one of the other things, going

660
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:48.679
back to the karaoke thing, karaoke as I was fearful

661
00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:52.639
of doing it the first time. My therapist said to me,

662
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:56.599
she said, it's not an audition. You're going in there

663
00:39:56.599 --> 00:39:59.800
to have fun. Go go, just go have fun. It's

664
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:03.840
not an audition. Just come in sing your sing your songs.

665
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:06.320
You know you're gonna you're gonna love it.

666
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:10.679
And with that being said, I'm not well. I'm you

667
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:12.880
mentioned a word, and I'm gonna go off of it.

668
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:18.559
Because music is healing. Music is a therapy in itself.

669
00:40:18.960 --> 00:40:22.639
And if you can like like I have this piano

670
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.519
here and in some instances you can look at it

671
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:28.119
like a piece of furniture because it just sits here

672
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:31.559
until I come and I play it. And so if

673
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:35.000
you're a musician, whatever instrument you have, it doesn't do

674
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:38.400
anything without you. And so you're the one that brings

675
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:41.840
it to life. And in so many I mean, words

676
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:43.920
can only express so much, but I mean this so

677
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:48.199
much more. It is a way of therapy. Like you're singing,

678
00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:51.360
like you sing wholeheartedly, you sing from your heart, and

679
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:55.000
when you sing, you could really as a listener, really

680
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:58.639
feel what you're sharing. And even if you're not a

681
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.039
singer and you're playing an instrum, listeners can hear what

682
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:06.440
you're playing, because I will say this live and because

683
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.559
I've said this to my students. If you can't feel

684
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:13.760
what you're playing, I can't hear what you're playing, right,

685
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:17.960
So you want to tune into your feelings and express

686
00:41:18.039 --> 00:41:21.079
them in your voice or in your instrument because it

687
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:24.119
is a form of therapy and you don't need to

688
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:27.119
go out and pay somebody for that. You just need

689
00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:30.400
to be okay with giving yourself permission to get out

690
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:33.719
of your own way and to show up and do it.

691
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:37.480
Well said, thank you, thank you.

692
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:42.159
And on that note, so we mentioned SoundStorm. I'm going

693
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:47.519
to end with this, Dave, please forgive me because this

694
00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:50.239
isn't about SoundStorm. But we are going to be in

695
00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:54.679
Wellington right for the holidays December sixth. I had MTNA

696
00:41:55.960 --> 00:41:59.039
on the show last week. The Music Teachers National Association.

697
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:03.719

698
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:07.159

699
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:10.639

701
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:18.800
to benefit a charity. I don't know if I said

702
00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:21.800
that right, And we will get to play and sing

703
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:25.800
a little bit together, and lots of our students from

704
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:31.480
the areas will come in and play piano. So you're

705

repeating myself. SoundStorm you can find on Facebook platform. That's

719
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:29.199
the easiest SoundStorm twenty twenty five. Listen to some of

720
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.519
their music and find out more about them. Where they're

721
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:36.159
playing next, as we mentioned, but they're always playing somewhere

722
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:40.480
so you can tune into that. In the meantime, we

723
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:43.440
definitely want to keep music alive. This is why I

724
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:46.639
do this show. There is so much talent out there,

725
00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:52.880
and it's time that you all, we all have gotten

726
00:43:53.159 --> 00:43:57.480
some recognition and some acknowledgment, and we don't want to

727
00:43:57.519 --> 00:43:59.800
go unrecognized. We want to be heard. We want to

728
00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:03.920
give what we've got and whatever instrument you play, wherever

729
00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:08.079
you're playing, and if you're not playing yet, venture out,

730
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:11.159
step out there. So with a couple of minutes left,

731
00:44:11.239 --> 00:44:14.440

732
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:17.719

In the
