8
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.359
Hi, welcome to the Sound of Gold. It is so

9
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:58.600
good to be back here with you. I am tuning

10
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.000
in from my music studio in South Florida and Palm

11
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.719
Beach Gardens specifically, and for those of you that have

12
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.120
been here before, you know, and for those of you

13
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.280
that are just joining me. I am a music teacher

14
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:17.200
in Palm Beach County, Florida, and I have my music

15
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.920
studio here at home, but I also teach in the

16
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.599
public school system private schools, and I also perform in

17
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.319
addition to that. The reason why I do this show

18
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.040
is because not so much for me, but for my

19
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.200
music friends and my music community. There is so much

20
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:40.359
talent out there in our community that it seems as

21
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.840
though we don't get the attention we deserve. We don't

22
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:48.879
get you know, we have icons, the Billy Doles, the

23
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:51.359
Elton John's.

24
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:51.879
You know, we.

25
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.560
Thrive to be that popular. And there's so much great

26
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.560
talent out there, So why is it that only certain

27
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.120
people get that much attention? And you know, we're not

28
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.479
born with talent. We grow with talent. We make talent

29
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.719
happen by investing the time and the energy into learning

30
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.960
to be better at what we do, especially as a musician.

31
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:21.199
I'm so excited today. I have a wonderful group that

32
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.039
I've invited, a one full band that I've invited on

33
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.560
my show today and they are the new undercovers band

34
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.039
in Palm Beach County and they are traveling all over

35
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.039
South Florida. I can't wait to learn more about their

36
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.360
journey and share it with you. I know they are

37
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.800
hanging out backstage. Please join me. His Hi, Tellia, I

38
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:45.080
thank you.

39
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:47.719
I'm so excited to be here.

40
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.439
Thank you so much. It's a Monday, It's the end

41
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.159
of the day, and it's such a great way to

42
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.080
end a workday on the East coast, West coast kind

43
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.719
of still maybe a little bit earlier in the day

44
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.879
wherever you're tuning in from. It's Monday here and this

45
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.719
is like real talk about music, and Richard, I don't

46
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:15.039
know you well, Idelia, I know you, and I really

47
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.120
want to like get into the nitty gritty and share

48
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.759
with the audiences and the listeners out there that are

49
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.479
wanting to get involved in music, wanting to do more

50
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.960
with music. Sure, get an idea of like we weren't

51
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.360
just born to do this. So Richard, I tell you

52
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.840
mentioned you wanted Richard to start. Richard, give us a

53
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.000
little background about your musical journey and how you've gotten

54
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.080
to where you are now.

55
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.439
I started when I was thirteen years old, started playing

56
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.280
acoustic guitar. A friend of mine handed me a bass

57
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:48.960
and said, here, play this. You only played one string

58
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:54.080
at a time. The rest is history. I've done it

59
00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:00.800
for fifty four years. Took singing lessons through a vocal

60
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.840
instructor back in Rochester, New York. Two and a half

61
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.080
years so I started singing, and of course I was

62
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.719
singer in the band by default because nobody else wanted

63
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:18.240
to sing, so they did that. And I also took

64
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.319
some bass lessons through Hawkstein's School of Music, which is

65
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:26.279
in Rochester. It's a predominant music school, and learned pretty

66
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.199
much theory and where I need to be and what

67
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.439
to do and how to hold myself back. Don't don't

68
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.240
be the star of the show. Just make sure you're

69
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.319
there with the drummer and make sure you hold down

70
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:38.959
the rhythm.

71
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.920
Sure. Nice, Nice, that's really cool.

72
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.399
I can't believe your parents let you take music lessons

73
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:45.720
because mine didn't.

74
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.639
No, Wow, tell us, tell yeah.

75
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.879
Tell us a little bit about your stock. And if

76
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.160
you hear background music of cats, they're just I have cats,

77
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.519
and for some reason, when it's showed time, they find

78
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.319
I think it's time to play, So I follow nice

79
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.879
for any background you're listening, because we're both live on

80
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:08.079
television and on radio. So if you see us right now,

81
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.360
I don't have any cats in the picture. But for

82
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.560
those that are listening, I'm letting you know, if you

83
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.279
hear that background noise.

84
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:16.560
That's nice.

85
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:18.240
So I'm sorry. I was.

86
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.759
When I was just thirteen years old, I linked up

87
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.279
with a bunch of boys on the block in New York,

88
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.839
right and they played bass guitar and I would be

89
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.959
like a group yet sit there and they knew I

90
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.079
could sing. Long story short, They're like dall, They're like,

91
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.120
you know, we're playing at this club. Called February's in

92
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.759
Long Island and they want to hear the go Gos.

93
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:39.839
We got the beat. They're like, we think you can

94
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:41.920
do it. You want to do it for us. I'm like, okay,

95
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.920
mind you, I'm thirteen years old. I'm not allowed out.

96
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.279
I disconnect the alarm at my house. I put my

97
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.839
scandex and my shirt all in the back. I jumped

98
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.000
out the window because it was snow everywhere. The boys

99
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.079
met me up the block. I got dressed in the

100
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.839
backseat and we did We got the beat, and they

101
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.000
crowd served me. I was thirteen years old. Wow, you

102
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:05.959
just to say after that, they said, you're not in

103
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:06.800
the band anymore?

104
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.600
Really nice? Wow, that was not nice?

105
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:12.800
No go yeah.

106
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:13.800
Oh.

107
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.199
They didn't like the attention. And I was like, okay, well,

108
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.439
I'll guess I'll figure it out sooner or later. But yeah,

109
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:19.879
so that's where it all started for me.

110
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.120
Very wow, awesome.

111
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:23.439
Nice? Yeah nice.

112
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:30.519
Now I'll tell you that story, did I No, you didn't.

113
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.519
Now rack I again, I don't know you as well

114
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:36.600
as I know Idelia. Idelia, you know, compliments to you

115
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:41.560
the couple of years that I do know you. You've grown

116
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.920
so much and you've become like such gosh, such an

117
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.480
inspiration because you've come from I know you from open mic, right,

118
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:57.959
I know you from karaoke, and you know you never

119
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.639
gave up your dream and there you are now in

120
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.639
a new band called Undercovers. Tell us a little bit

121
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.639
about your band and how you got together.

122
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.439
Wow. So I was sitting in for another band. They

123
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.240
were doing double Roads. They were doing for Piers. They

124
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.000
were all over even Ralph's if you want to believe that.

125
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.399
So I just yeah, so yeah, we did that. We

126
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.959
won't talk about that, but it went well. Everyone liked me.

127
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.439
I learned I heard Wait, this was the first time

128
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.399
I heard live music. Like when you're doing karaoke, you

129
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.480
hear tracks right, yes, it's perfect. You hear it and

130
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:33.319
you know it's there. But when you're with the band,

131
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:37.199
my whole body vibrates because I feel it. I feel

132
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:40.720
it drums, I feel a bass, I feel it all.

133
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.319
I came alive, like I had to deal with that.

134
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.360
That was interesting. Long story short. I did a couple

135
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.800
of songs with them, and then the drummer from that

136
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.199
band said, look, you need to be doing more, so

137
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.600
come with me audition for this band that I have

138
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.839
now and the rest is history. I did. I met

139
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:03.160
a keyboard player, and then I met Rick, and then

140
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.720
the other two. You know, they phased out, but I

141
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.279
stuck with it as a promise to myself. Nice.

142
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.439
No, yeah, no, when are you guys put when and

143
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.000
where are you guys playing next?

144
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.279
But we are going to be at R.

145
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:22.279
Bradley's in West Palm Beach right by I think it's

146
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:27.040
flag Staff or Flagler Road, Flagler right at being a

147
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:31.399
coastal Yeah, and we're there on May the twenty first,

148
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:36.080
from six to nine. Then we have two dates at

149
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:37.720
swamp Grass Willie's.

150
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.440
We are there on the.

152
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:48.200
And also Adelia's working on some stuff at Uncle Mix.

153
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.919
Yes, we're supposed to be doing a spot a Sunday

154
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:53.600
in May. I have to get with her on that,

155
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:54.759
but they're interested.

156
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.960
Nice, No, share with share our audience out there that

157
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.600
are listening. Might be just like getting involved with a

158
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.840
band or getting wanting to get out there. You know,

159
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.759
it seems so difficult, It seems so hard. But what

160
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:14.240
are your tactics for getting gigs where? Like, how do

161
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:14.799
you get them?

162
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:19.639
Well, for one thing, you got to practice. You have

163
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.519
to get kind of good at your craft. Once you

164
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.080
do that, then you need somebody like a front person

165
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:31.799
or somebody who has the talk to get with these

166
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:36.720
owners or managers and stuff and be persistent on Once

167
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.919
you get that one break out, then you make sure

168
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:41.360
you guys are polished.

169
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.440
You're ready to go, and you performed.

170
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.840
Once you perform and you tell all your friends to

171
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.519
come out and everything else, once you have the support,

172
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:52.480
the band starts to take off.

173
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.840
So for me, yeah, sorry, So for me, I started.

174
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:01.639
I've been singing Karayokate Uncle Mix for the ten years now, okay,

175
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.519
So I built up fans people that come just to

176
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:08.000
hear me. And that's how someone grabbed me from the

177
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.399
karaoke scene and said, look, you would be perfect for

178
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.080
the band. It either works or it doesn't, depending on

179
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.960
the person. You know, how the dynamics work. But if

180
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.360
you if your dedication is real and you're willing to

181
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.799
put yourself out there, which is what I did, Like

182
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:22.480
I don't have people in the back, you know, do

183
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.679
an excellent you know sound for me, Like I had

184
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.440
to put myself out there and I did, and he

185
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.639
worked with me. He would sit me down with just

186
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.600
an acoustic guitar in the middle of like on his

187
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.960
patio and say okay, let's do this. And I'm very

188
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.480
grateful for him that helped me with that, and I

189
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.600
just took it all in and I learned from it.

190
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.600
And from there I met other people that saw me.

191
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:45.840
They're like, wait, I know you. Don't you sing it?

192
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.679
Uncle mixed? Don't you sing here? So that's you just

193
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.159
have to be true to yourself and believe in yourself.

194
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.480
And I feel like the rest just falls into place.

195
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.279
It does being consistent hun yeah, and.

196
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:06.799
Persistent yeahs and persistent always persistent.

197
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:07.960
Yeah.

198
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:12.600
So let's say let's Swamp Press Bullies or R. Bradley's.

199
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.480
So you contact them, do you send them a demo?

200
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.320
Or do you just be like, oh, hey, we we

201
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:19.639
have a band. Can we schedule a date? Like how

202
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.759
how is your presentation? What is your presentation?

203
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:23.519
Well?

204
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.279
I I kind of know Michael at E. R. Bradley's

205
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.799
because I booked a band that I was in before

206
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:29.879
there already.

207
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:30.919
So when I.

208
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.559
Walked in, I kind of looked at him and I

209
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.799
and he looked at me and he said, hey, how

210
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.600
you doing reg And I went yeah, good, I said

211
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:39.639
we're going to have dinner.

212
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.320
What days do you have open?

213
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:42.080
Right?

214
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.919
And my girlfriend that was with me goes, god, can

215
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.960
you be any more pushy? I went, yes, yes I can,

216
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:51.320
and see what Wow.

217
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.840
So Michael came and I said, listen, the band's coming

218
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:59.559
for dinner. So you know, how about you know one

219
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:03.320
hand the other come on? And he went okay, Sure

220
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.639
enough he did. And that's how you break in and

221
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.240
how you get there, and then if you do a

222
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.320
really good job and everything, then they say, hey, why

223
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:11.480
don't you guys come back?

224
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:12.360
And here you go?

225
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:16.679
Nice right right? So yeah, for me Uncle Mikes, they

226
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.600
know me there. I mean I even did New Year's

227
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:23.639
Eve karaoke there badly, but everyone knew me, so I

228
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.320
was okay, it was they was just grateful that I

229
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.759
was there, Thank you for being here, you know. And

230
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:30.799
so I'm like, oh, wait, I have a band. They're

231
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.919
like what, because when you do karaoke you're only up

232
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.879
there on rotation one or two songs. And then everyone's

233
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:38.519
like waiting for me, and I'm like, wait, I can't

234
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.279
go anymore. And then I bust out the car and say,

235
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.720
look this is where I'm going to be. So yeah,

236
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:47.039
I've built it. Yeah, so Uncle Mix knows that. So

237
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.399
they're like, you know, the manager told the ownership.

238
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:50.600
She's like, she's here.

239
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.399
Every Wednesday forever. Her band wants to play. Let's give

240
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.919
them a chance. So that that's exactly what she said

241
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:57.159
to me.

242
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:01.840
And so they are beautiful, nice, And again that's being consistent.

243
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:07.480
That's being persistent. It's being true to living your passion.

244
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:13.000
That's right, and being building relationships. Yes, that's so important.

245
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:14.799
How many people do you know that don't do that

246
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:17.000
and they wonder why they can't go anywhere or do

247
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:19.720
what they need to do because.

248
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:22.360
It's not about the business. It's not about the money.

249
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.440
It's about the passion to share what we have within

250
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.679
ourselves as musicians and give out everything we've got and

251
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:34.879
we don't get paid enough. We all know that we'd

252
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:38.000
like to get paid more. Just like a side note,

253
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:45.080
hint hinted listening, Yeah, you know, but it's it's not again,

254
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.480
it's building relationships. It's not like who you know and

255
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.120
how how can you get me to where I want

256
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:54.000
to go? It's about let's support each other in this.

257
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.000
It's almost like an expended family.

258
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.360
I've always known it to be. You don't get paid

259
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:02.519
to play, You get paid to move equipment.

260
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:08.440
Right.

261
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:13.360
Yes, I was skinners and four peers and I was

262
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.279
singing for the first time the Benatar song hit me

263
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.440
with your best shot, right, and I'm so nervous and

264
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:22.120
I'm singing it with everything I got. This guy and

265
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.279
his wife calm across from the way way part of

266
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.840
the bar that I didn't even know existed, and he said,

267
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:32.879
oh my god, I haven't heard that song in years.

268
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.039
I just had to come down here and tell you

269
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.799
that was awesome and thank you. So it's those moments

270
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:42.080
that that resonate with me, that give people their memories.

271
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.639
Because I'll tell you what, that's pretty much all you

272
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:46.879
have at the end of the day, are your memories.

273
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:47.399
Right.

274
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:54.279
Music makes people reminisce, that's it, and it's magic. It's healing.

275
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:55.879
It's very healing anyway.

276
00:14:55.960 --> 00:15:00.600
That's so true. And now getting back to the band, uh,

277
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.480
for our listeners out there, you know you you sing, rick,

278
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.039
you sing, you also play guitar and I don't know

279
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:11.960
what other instruments you play. But but getting together as

280
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.720
a band, it's almost like what can we share with

281
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.919
our audience As far as like auditioning like, do you

282
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.200
do you audition for a particular part?

283
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:20.519
Do you?

284
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:24.279
Is it like, oh gosh, you know, is it? Do

285
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.720
we all get along? Can we all work together? Is

286
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:27.519
it scheduling?

287
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:27.840
Is it?

288
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.039
How do you blend together as as a band family?

289
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.240
Like what makes the niche? What makes you all connect?

290
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:39.639
It is a give and take, always a give and take.

291
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:44.840
I play bass and I sing. I can sing backup,

292
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:46.519
or I can sing lead.

293
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:47.480
Uh.

294
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:52.399
When Nadalia sings Fleetwood Mac, I usually try to harmonize

295
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.799
with her because you know, Stevie Nicks, that's a very

296
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:59.080
tough voice to imitate, and she does it very well.

297
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:04.159
So to have me being the Lindsey Buckingham that's there

298
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:08.480
and to harmonize with her and everything very very important.

299
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:12.519
And I feel that in bands and stuff like that,

300
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.039
You know, do certain people do have certain jobs in

301
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.559
the band. Your drummer does the drumming. Maybe the he

302
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.080
or she can do backup vocals. You have a guitar player,

303
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.159
maybe he or she can do backup vocals along with

304
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.519
playing guitar, lead and rhythm. You got a keyboard player,

305
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.240
all right, Maybe he doesn't do vocals, but he does

306
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.919
keyboards and he can fill in with different sounds and

307
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:34.519
stuff like.

308
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.840
That, and that's how you kind of do it.

309
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:40.000
And then you go to the lead singer and you say, hey,

310
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.279
can you sing this? Yeah, okay, all right, and I'll

311
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:44.440
back you up and I'll do this okay cool. And

312
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:46.799
then I'll say, now when I do a lead vocal,

313
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:48.039
you back me up.

314
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.960
And okay yep. And then it's always a give and tape.

315
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.000
So we're building. So I'm not noting it's funny you

316
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:57.279
say that, because while we're doing all this, like my

317
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.440
creative mind is thinking, I'm thinking the beat. The beat.

318
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.240
So I picked up the tambourine and I'm just playing it.

319
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.920
Hopefully it's okay, but it adds something because it's it's

320
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.720
what I'm feeling, right, and it does. That's some because

321
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.640
I did have someone say to me more tambourine, please,

322
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:17.720
and I'm like, a real instrument what are you telling me?

323
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:18.039
You know?

324
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:20.319
But I'm like, I got I got.

325
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:24.519
The gist of it right, and it's funny. It's funny,

326
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.839
but not funny. Well, if you're a musician, you get this.

327
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.720
If you're not a musician, or you're in the musician world,

328
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.839
it might be hard to understand. But once you're in

329
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:38.799
the flow, like you, once you're in the flow, rest

330
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:40.680
of the world kind of falls away.

331
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:46.920
Exactly right, You're in your own world. Yeah, it feels good.

332
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:47.680
Yeah.

333
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.519
I mean we rehearse for like two hours, it feels

334
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.519
like five minutes, you know, we play for three hours.

335
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.079
It feels like not even it doesn't feel like anything,

336
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.480
Like like the whole world just melts away. And I

337
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.720
can see look on people's faces and it just that's it.

338
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:03.480
That's all I need.

339
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:04.640
It's like a bit.

340
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:06.960
It's like a big high when you see all the

341
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:08.960
people in the crowd go crazy for you.

342
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:11.240
It's like, wow, this is really cool.

343
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:17.279
That's awesome. That's awesome. Now we are all here in

344
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:22.359
South Florida and we're all like people, and so we

345
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.920
we need to juggle the real life of work and

346
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.240
we have homes, we have families, and this is like

347
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.720
in addition, like both of you again, Rick, I don't

348
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:38.480
know what you do outside of playing, But what's your

349
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:42.200
secret for the juggle? Because I don't call it the struggle.

350
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.839
I call it the juggle because we all do it.

351
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.160
But when you have a significant other, you gotta make

352
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:53.640
time for them because you know, after a while they

353
00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:57.720
if they keep coming to your gigs after a while,

354
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:01.559
it becomes old hat to them to where other people

355
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:05.119
when you go and perform, they see you, they figure, wow,

356
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.119
this is the first time we're seeing them. They're really

357
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.920
really good. But when you have the support that we have,

358
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:16.680
it is awesome because that's sacrifice on the better halves

359
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:22.240
portion to make sure that you are successful. My girlfriend

360
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.279
has been watching me perform for the past eight or

361
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.039
nine years, and she said, she goes, I just like,

362
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:30.839
I love to hear you guys play.

363
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:32.720
It's great. It's really really cool.

364
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:34.640
So awesome. Yeah.

365
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.599
Same. I mean, I met my guy many ten years ago,

366
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:42.200
we were friends, and then he knows what I do, right,

367
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.480
So he's okay with it. He knows what I do

368
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.559
because this is like what I do. I'm not stressed,

369
00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:53.400
I'm not anything I need to be. I'm happy because

370
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.240
I'm doing what I love to do, and that's what's important.

371
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:58.839
He knows that's important to me. He's okay with that. Yeah,

372
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.640
So a lot of people don't understand that that's part

373
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:04.400
of who we are. Right. I sing a song. I

374
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.000
wake up in the morning, I have a song in

375
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:09.880
my head, go to bed, I have a song in

376
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:11.799
my head like this is who I am, this is

377
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.720
what I'm made of. So he's he's okay with it.

378
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:16.559
He loves me, so that's what.

379
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:22.759
He's got, right, That's it. I mean it, and it's

380
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.720
so true. I mean, you know my husband too, and

381
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:28.680
he I mean, he sings, and we have so mention

382
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:33.519
in common that we were. We do the same things

383
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.279
all the time. And unless we're working our day jobs,

384
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.799
all right, like I'm a teacher, but unless unless we're

385
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:42.960
working our day jobs, we're together doing the same thing.

386
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:45.079
Because we do the same thing, we live in that

387
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:50.480
same world. So the support from your partner is so

388
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:55.799
so important. And I mean, family is important, and you

389
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:59.119
know that's just to me. I learned the hard way

390
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.960
that family is priority comes first. However, you know, they're

391
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:07.480
this musical world, this musical vein that we all share.

392
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:10.519
Like you said, Idelia, it's who we are.

393
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.319
It's who we are, it is we are.

394
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:16.759
It's just you can't like it's just that's just it's

395
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:19.240
part of who we are. You gotta accept it.

396
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:21.720
So I told my daughter, I said, Babe, I said,

397
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:24.119
you know, honey, I'm performing at this sceno club. You

398
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:26.519
should come out, She's like, wait, let me text my friend.

399
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.039
So in other words, she's sending a representative for her

400
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.119
to come see me play because I mean doing this

401
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.200
for soul long. It's like, I wish I could just

402
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.960
come out and watch me, but no, they they And

403
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.200
it's funny because you know, my younger daughter, she went

404
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:43.960
to a karaoke party. She's like, mom, She's like, nobody

405
00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:47.880
can sing Carly Simon like you can? Well you have it,

406
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:50.119
so that yeah, I'm making my mark.

407
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:54.920
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, that's very important.

408
00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:57.119
They know who I am and I'm not going to

409
00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:59.160
falter from that. I'm not going to not going to

410
00:21:59.240 --> 00:21:59.559
do that.

411
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:01.680
And never do you have kids as well?

412
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:05.119
Yes, I have two daughters and they grew up watching

413
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:08.759
me play nice all the time. Plus I was a

414
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:12.599
DJ for thirty seven years for parties, weddings and things

415
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:13.799
of that nature, so.

416
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:15.960
They had seen it all with me.

417
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:20.559
So every time when when my girlfriend sends them a

418
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:23.160
picture of me or a video of me playing and stuff,

419
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:28.759
they'll say, my father absolutely there he is is.

420
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:31.240
Rock and Rick. They just know me.

421
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.519
But what great inspirations you I'm sorry, Adelia, no, go ahead, no,

422
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:42.279
I was what great inspiration because you're living who you are.

423
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:45.880
You're not limiting yourself, and you're you know, you're juggling,

424
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:49.119
you know, family, I have a daughter. You know, it's

425
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:53.640
a juggle. But we haven't we haven't completely dismissed our

426
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.119
own self. And I think being a parent, it's so

427
00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:00.839
important to honor who we are, yeah, at the same

428
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.240
time as doing the parent job, because sometimes you have

429
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.319
to give up that life a little bit in order

430
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:10.960
to raise kids and make it, you know, And it's

431
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:12.000
not easy.

432
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:15.599
No, I did that. I know exactly what you're talking about.

433
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:16.720
But now it's my time.

434
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:21.200
Yeah, my time. Yeah, and it's it's a beautiful thing.

435
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.000
And yeah, same thing. I mean, I you do what

436
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:26.799
you have to do within the time, but you don't

437
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.920
never give up yourself. You never can who you truly are.

438
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:35.400
And as a musician, that vein always runs runs through us.

439
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.759
And I just.

440
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.440
Recently started taking guitar lessons.

441
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:40.920
Nice.

442
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:51.759
Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing.

443
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:50.839
Right, but you will, you will, you will learn.

444
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:53.880
I love it, though, Can I tell you I love

445
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:59.359
learning new music. It's whatever I'm like, the more I do,

446
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:02.160
the more want I don't know how to describe it.

447
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:05.160
It's like, oh, I understand syenergy. Like I like, I'm

448
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.319
feeding off of my band members and I'm just living

449
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.079
this life that I can't explain and I love it.

450
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:12.319
I wouldn't trade it for the world.

451
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:14.039
Nope.

452
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.720
Yeah, I've been teaching since high school, but I've been

453
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:22.720
teaching piano specifically for over twenty years. And as a musician,

454
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:28.440
I've also played, and I compose my own music, and

455
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:32.559
when I play or when I don't play, I'm still

456
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:36.400
taking lessons myself. I've played for over forty five years.

457
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:39.119
I'm kind of jumping around, sorry, but I've played for

458
00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:42.480
over forty five years, and it never gets old because

459
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:46.920
there's always something more. I see your baby, Yeah, those

460
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:53.799
listening Idelia brought her cat in the picture. So as

461
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.519
a musician, like, there's no I tell this to my

462
00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:59.359
young students, like there's never any time in your life

463
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:01.680
that you all would go Okay, I'm done, or like

464
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:05.519
I've been teaching guys in a in a classroom in

465
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:09.200
the public school system and they'll be like, Okay, miss

466
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:11.880
gold I finished the song. What's next. I'll be like, well,

467
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.880
that was five minutes. Like you exactly go back and

468
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:18.279
practice it, because the more you practice it the more

469
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.200
you're gonna find there's more in it that you want

470
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:25.599
to expand on or gating or pay attention to. And

471
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:27.759
the more you play it, the more you practice it,

472
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:30.319
the more you hear that, oh that could be like

473
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.559
a quarter note made into like maybe a half note,

474
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.200
or that. You know, it's not just the music theory,

475
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.000
but it's it's you're you're training your own ears as

476
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:43.200
you play and as you grow.

477
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.880
Yeah, yeah, this guy's a limit for me at this point.

478
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.079
These guys have to give them credit because they're making

479
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:54.519
me come alive with that. It's going to be a

480
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:59.160
journey that won't be anything overnight. That's okay, it's the

481
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.680
long haul that's it.

482
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:03.839
But that's what it's all about. It's all about the journey.

483
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.440
I used to take acting classes with a very popular

484
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.079
celebrity who I'm not going to name now, but I'll

485
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:14.160
never forget him saying to me, you know, it's not

486
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:18.480
about your success of where you're at, It's about the journey.

487
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.279
Story tells tells of how you got to where you are.

488
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.759
Because once you succeed and I feel like I'm not,

489
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:31.000
I don't feel successful. I mean, we always want more.

490
00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:33.920
I think That's the beauty of being human and being

491
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.640
a musician and being in the arts is that we always,

492
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:39.920
no matter how high we climb, there's got to be

493
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:40.640
another level.

494
00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:49.480
Like yes, So so from what you said, Idelia, you know,

495
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:51.920
it's it's a constant growth.

496
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:54.799
I mean as a musicians, but constantly growing and it's

497
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:56.759
never ending. That's the beauty of it.

498
00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:58.680
Sure, it really is.

499
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:00.640
And I'm just glad that I have a partner that's

500
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.640
keeping up with me, because poor guy, he doesn't kids

501
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:06.400
saying he doesn't know you no poor thing.

502
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:12.599
Oh well, now, my girlfriend was sitting there and saying,

503
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:15.319
you know what back in this song back in the seventies,

504
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:17.559
you know, I sang back up with this band, and

505
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:18.839
I go, you.

506
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:24.640
Were four years old? Really really, I said, really, she goes,

507
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.920
really I was. I would I just sit there and go,

508
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:29.519
oh my god, good lord.

509
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:32.960
The first song I ever sang was when I was

510
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:38.039
six years old. I sang ROBERTA Flack killing me softly,

511
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.559
and my mom would stand me up in the living

512
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:43.920
room with all our relatives and she's say, okay, go.

513
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:47.000
Puts you on the spot.

514
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:51.519
Yeah, my whole mother's side, they all sang. So this

515
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:54.319
was nothing unusual, right, and I did it and if

516
00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:58.960
it's fun, I was like, okay, I'm home. What now.

517
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.160
I started. I started playing piano when I was five,

518
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:06.480
and my mom's one hundred percent of Sicilian, so we

519
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:10.200
had family every weekend, so my mom my parents would

520
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.720
always be releaseda go go downstairs, go practice, and I'd

521
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.359
feel like, oh, dear, I don't I don't want to practice.

522
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:17.599
I didn't like practicing as a kid. And then when

523
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:20.480
the family would come over, Lisa, please go ahead and

524
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:25.759
play for the family. So it's how did we didn't

525
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:28.279
know then how much it would shape our future. To

526
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:30.400
look at what we're doing now and look at how

527
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:33.759
you know we're we're like fearless. I mean we're shaking

528
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.160
on the inside, but we're still fearless. Yes, you know,

529
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.200
we've learned at such a young age, and we've had

530
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.759
our inspirations, and I hope that we as individuals get

531
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.240
to be inspirations, like I said before, to our kids,

532
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:50.319
to our families.

533
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:55.079
So on that note, I have inspired quite a few

534
00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:59.039
singers over the years. I've been singing you know, teraokee.

535
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:01.000
But now I'm in a band. But they were like,

536
00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:03.160
what should I Because I hear the voices. I know

537
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:05.720
what they can sing, and they'll come up to me

538
00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:07.400
and say, what should I sing next? What should I

539
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:09.359
sing next? And all of a sudden, I've got all

540
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:11.759
these people singing the songs that I told them to sing,

541
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:14.400
only because I know their voice. I can hear it.

542
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:17.359
And they're so grateful, they're so confident. They're like, Wow,

543
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:19.759
my god, I can't believe I can do that. So

544
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:22.079
that's just a small part of who I am. I'm

545
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.119
a bigger person than that, but I do help people

546
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:26.480
with their singing and I have.

547
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.920
That's beautiful, that's great, and people need that confidence, especially

548
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:34.799
when it comes to like like karaoke. I mean, it's

549
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:37.559
just stepping out. And for listeners out there that are

550
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.400
thinking about going to try karaoke, no matter where you

551
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:45.440
are in your community, you can find a karaoke group.

552
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:47.400
You can find I mean there's one that like every

553
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:51.319
other restaurant or every other bar, well maybe every third

554
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:55.519
you know it's not, but well yeah, no matter where

555
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:57.920
you are tuning in from whatever state you live in,

556
00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:00.920
I promise you there are karaoke groups that you can

557
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.920
connect with and step out of your comfort zone. And

558
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.160
you know what, as scary as it is, none of

559
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:12.279
us started where we're at. We know we've all been scared.

560
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:16.160
We've all needed that love and support and our music communities.

561
00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:19.359
No matter where you are in the world, we're here

562
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:21.559
to like support each other because we love each other.

563
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:24.319
I think we all want to. And so we do

564
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:27.160
have that family that that that they miss me when

565
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:28.680
I'm not there because they want to know what they

566
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:31.000
need to sing next. And I've built that, but I

567
00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:32.960
build it wherever I go, like I have it with

568
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.000
my band now, and that that's I'm nurturing both.

569
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:40.839
I always want you know, for listeners out there, we're live.

570
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:42.960

00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:39.400
It is correct because a.

Lot of bands are start with the so although Beatles,

590
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:45.960

595
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:05.119
second season of my show, and I love doing this.

596
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:08.519
I love promoting all my music friends and musicians that

597
00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:11.319
I continue to meet. I want to take a couple

598
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:14.720
of minutes. It's a Monday afternoon, it's a Monday at

599
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:16.839
the end of our day, and I want to just

600
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:19.799
play a little bit of piano for those of you

601
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.319
out there and for you as well, and then we'll

602
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.160
kind of close out the show and remind our listeners

603
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:28.920
how to connect with you. So please sit back and enjoy.

604
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:31.920
And for those that are driving, don't close your eyes.

605
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:34.720
And for those that are in space and a place

606
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:37.200
where you can sit back and relax. This is just

607
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:40.480
kind of my way of saying, Hey, it's the end.

608
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:50.680
Of Monday, and no matter what day you're listening, just enjoy.

609
00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:57.039
And for those that have not heard me play before,

610
00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:01.799
I don't have anything memorized, don't have anything any Sheep music.

611
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:05.480
I'm just kind of feeling what I'm playing, and I'm

612
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.079
just playing becoming an instantramposer.

613
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:34.159
From a longation.

614
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:28.480
From the fl.

615
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:25.320
Nice.

616
00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:26.440
Thank you.

617
00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:29.079
Oh that was beautiful. It was beautiful.

618
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:32.360
I've done this thing. I used to. I performed for

619
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:36.599
three years every week for two hours, and I did

620
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:38.639
it once a week. Oh let me say that again.

621
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:41.960
Once a week for three years and I would play

622
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.639
for two hours. And so I stopped that for a

623
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.320
little while, and I'm going to kind of just spontaneously

624
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:50.840
bring that back and just do live Facebook stuff. So

625
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:53.320
in between that I get to play on the on

626
00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:53.760
the show.

627
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:56.719
So thank you, thank you.

628
00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:02.559
So please tell our audience again when your next show is.

629
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:06.639
And what time it will be on May the twenty

630
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:09.719
first at R. Bradley's and we.

631
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:14.719
Start at six to nine. Okay, and I'm sorry, got

632
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:15.679
to go ahead.

633
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:19.599
Say even a bigger question. You had mentioned a little

634
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:25.360
bit about like Stevie Nicks, but our audience doesn't really

635
00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:26.800
know what you guys play.

636
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:28.679
Well.

637
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:34.519
We play everything from the sixties to the seventies and eighties,

638
00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:39.920
so very very different kind of approach that we have

639
00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:44.679
popular tunes that have been airplayed for a long time,

640
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:51.440
and we select different ones, but mostly it is the party,

641
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:54.440
dance orientated.

642
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:55.360
Rock that we like to do.

643
00:36:56.000 --> 00:37:02.519
So some Blondie Pretenders one, there's a good one.

644
00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:08.800
We do a little Beatles Mac Fleetwood Mac. In the seventies,

645
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:11.199
we play a little bit of Steelers Wheel.

646
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:12.159
Uh.

647
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:15.920
So we kind of bounce all over the place. Adelia

648
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:21.920
will sing a Patty Smith song and we are pretty

649
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:24.519
much we'll we'll cover a whole bunch of I do

650
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:25.239
a little Queen.

651
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:29.519
So it is very much kind of all over the map.

652
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:32.599
But it is popular music and we like to see

653
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:34.840
people dance and have a good time. I think that's

654
00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:38.039
the reflection of our band.

655
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:39.320
Is to have a good thing.

656
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:42.239
I love it when someone suggested we do taking care

657
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:44.599
of business. This was like what two gigs ago, right,

658
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:47.519
the band stand of the night, We're like, so the

659
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:49.840
guys are like, well, yeah, I think we can play it.

660
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:52.400
I'll tell you what. That was the best song of

661
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:53.000
the whole night.

662
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:59.199
Yeah, because yeah, absolutely, because we have the energy.

663
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:03.840
No, yeah, uh, depending where you play. I mean, do

664
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:06.199
you have like a set list, like Okay, tonight we're

665
00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:07.960
going to do this, or do you kind of just

666
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:09.679
go by how you feel and you guys look at

667
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:10.119
each other.

668
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:12.599
And you just know, now we go buy a set list.

669
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:16.800
But that night that she was talking about, we needed

670
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:18.920
a couple extra tunes to kind of fill up the night.

671
00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:21.760
And I said, all right, guys, you guys don't take

672
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:23.960
care of business by Bachman Turner Overdrive.

673
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:26.079
Yes we do. Okay, let's do it. There we go,

674
00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:27.679
And then that was it.

675
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:31.039
I read my tambourine. I'm like, wait, I think I

676
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:36.559
know the chorus, the energy because I filmed it, right,

677
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:40.039
So I'm watching the video and the energy. You cannot

678
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:42.599
make it up. It's just real, you know how the

679
00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:45.920
camera captures real, right, Yes, And that's what it did

680
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:48.559
that night. So that taught me something. You gotta feel it,

681
00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:49.480
really believe it.

682
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.599
You gotta feel it absolutely, now, can you?

683
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:55.079
Can you share more with our audience what you mean

684
00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:58.119
by that you film yourself. Not everybody can go back

685
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.920
and watch themselves. So like, how important is that for

686
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:05.519
you as a performer to watch yourself watch your recording

687
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:06.079
of yourself.

688
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.840
It's very important. I'll tell you why because when I

689
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:13.000
watch it back, I know exactly what I was thinking

690
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:16.880
at that moment. Okay, and it's sometimes and I've done

691
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:20.199
this over the years, it's not good. So I can

692
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:24.679
watch myself and talk myself down from the ledge because

693
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:26.719
in my mind, I'm thinking about all these things, not

694
00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:29.079
the music. How I look, who's looking at me?

695
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:29.760
Like it's going?

696
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:32.400
And I can read myself like i'm watching it play back,

697
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:36.920
I'm like, wait, all right, time to meditate, Time to meditate.

698
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:40.360
That's just me, get it all out, go back to

699
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:41.400
your true self.

700
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:43.280
Who cares perform like?

701
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.639
No one's there? That's for me personally, feel it. Who

702
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:47.679
cares what you look like?

703
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:47.920
Like?

704
00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:51.119
Right right? Because I'm looking at myself and I know

705
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:53.599
I'm looking at myself. I know they're looking at me,

706
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:57.360
and it's like, so you have to talk yourself down

707
00:39:57.480 --> 00:39:59.880
from the ledge. No, that's what I can do.

708
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:03.119
Ricky, about you, do you have Do you like to

709
00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:06.480
watch your performance after you've performed or you're like, you're good.

710
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:10.559
I like to do that because I critique myself that

711
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:13.800
I make a mistake here, Should I have done something here?

712
00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:16.800
Should I have moved here instead of just stand there?

713
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:18.719
Or you know what I mean.

714
00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:21.480
I critique because I want to make sure the next

715
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:24.199
time that I'm out trying not to make the same mistake.

716
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:25.480
Oh, you're perfect.

717
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:28.320
I won't seen anything wrong with You're perfect.

718
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:29.039
No.

719
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:30.800
No.

720
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:35.639
Now, for our listeners out there that are thinking about

721
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:40.239
getting out there playing music and connecting to different venues

722
00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:44.119
or even going to an open mic, I mean I

723
00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:47.320
kind of know, and I've had shows where the topic

724
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:50.519
was confidence right and having courage.

725
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:50.840
To do it.

726
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:54.079
So I'd love to hear from both of you a

727
00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:57.639
little bit about the steps you've taken to take on

728
00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:01.159
yourself to step out of your own comfort zone of

729
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:04.639
being in front of hump in front of the public eye.

730
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:05.920
A good question.

731
00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:10.119
Just relax, do your best and make sure that you

732
00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:13.280
practice and stuff, and when you get out that's your

733
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:14.159
time to shine.

734
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:18.639
So you have to you have to relax. Remember what

735
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:19.719
got you there.

736
00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:24.559
You're practicing your persistence and things should come together.

737
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:28.320
For me, I had to bring friends with me that

738
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:32.159
would give me, you know, not confidence per se, but

739
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:34.760
just support to say, if you grew up, we still

740
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:36.760
love you. So I needed that. So I would bring

741
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:39.559
my friends, or I would build a community of friends,

742
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:42.719
and that helped you love because they were honest with me,

743
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:46.159
you know, they were kind, yes, and I would stay

744
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:48.960
with them. So that So bring your friends out, come out,

745
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:51.559
try it. What you've got to lose? Your friends were

746
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:53.199
they're gonna love you anyway.

747
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:53.599
That's it.

748
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:56.880
They love and come out and come out and see us.

749
00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:59.320
You can ask us questions when we come off the stage.

750
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:05.840
Yeah, sure, that's great. You know, not everybody can get

751
00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:09.079
on stage and remember the words to a song. If

752
00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:12.119
we're singing karaoke, we have the words in front of us.

753
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:13.519
I know this easy.

754
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:17.559
How do you get up on stage and remember, let's

755
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:20.559
say you're singing fifty songs that night, how do you

756
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:22.280
remember every word to the song?

757
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:23.000
What's this song?

758
00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:24.519
I got it is?

759
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:30.679
It's years and years and years of doing this music.

760
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:34.320
Then I just get up and say, okay, we can

761
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:37.000
do this song, and I'll remember the words and do it.

762
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:39.599
But if there was a song then I just heard

763
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:43.400
like five minutes ago. No way, I have to be

764
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:46.320
back from a while back. The long term memory works

765
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:46.960
just fine.

766
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:52.880
So I started my my singing journey in college in

767
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:56.320
live theater. Okay, so I learned how to a musical

768
00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:59.280
theater and I danced and sang. So I learned how

769
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:03.360
to lyrics. So you start with the first sentence, memorize it,

770
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:07.159
start with the second sentence, memorize it. You keep going

771
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:09.639
and you build and you build. So so yeah, so

772
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:12.840
that's how I memorize lyrics. Now I was trained how

773
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:13.199
to do it.

774
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:17.159
Yeah, that's a that's a great that's great advice. A

775
00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:20.320
lot of us we've heard songs hundreds and hundreds of times.

776
00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:22.159
Yeah, it's so funny.

777
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:25.079
It's like, how come I can't recall it. It's like

778
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:27.679
it's like a different part of the brain. And if

779
00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:29.800
you play an instrument and you're starting to play guitar,

780
00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:32.679
if you play an instrument, again, it's a different part

781
00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:36.199
of the brain that's playing that instrum and the song

782
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:39.239
part of the brain the words, it's a different part.

783
00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:42.280
And you know I've said this before on my show.

784
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:45.480
I wish I had more time to research how the

785
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:49.440
brain works and how the brain recalls this kind of

786
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:52.679
stuff because or even like when I play and you

787
00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:54.840
only just heart like three minutes of my playing, but

788
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:57.639
when I really sit down and play, I can't teach

789
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:01.159
what I play because it's just flows. And I care

790
00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:03.840
to tell you where it's coming from or how it's

791
00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:07.280
being played out. It's just almost doesn't whatever people think

792
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:09.400
of I just call it. You know, I'm a channel

793
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:12.079
and it flows through me. But I can't explain it.

794
00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:14.800
And I wish, well, I look forward to the research

795
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:17.519
in our near future or in our future to see

796
00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:20.360
how the brain works in that way, I find.

797
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:23.960
Here's what I do. I create a story. I print

798
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:27.599
the lyrics out, I look at them, I interpret what

799
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:29.880
they mean, and I create a story in my head.

800
00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:33.280
Well he's going here, now, he feels this. Now he

801
00:44:33.400 --> 00:44:36.360
feels this. So I create the story. And so when

802
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:39.840
I'm doing the lyrics, I'm like, well, finish the story

803
00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:42.559
in my mind. Here's the story, and there it is,

804
00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:45.119
And now I know it's all because I've got story

805
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:48.239
in my mind. It's not just lyrics for me. Yeah,

806
00:44:48.679 --> 00:44:49.119
it works.

807
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:53.440
That's awesome. Yeah, I teach. I'm sorry, Rick, did you

808
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:54.960
were you going to share something with us?

809
00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:55.800
I'm good.

810
00:44:56.360 --> 00:44:59.079
So I've been teaching piano for over twenty years, and

811
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:02.280
I say to my students, no matter. My youngest student

812
00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:05.159
I think is five, My oldest is ninety five, no joke.

813
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:08.559
So what I tell all my students is that if

814
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:13.079
you can't feel what you're playing, I can't hear it.

815
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:16.360
So I want you to take the story, take the

816
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:19.559
lyrics and lyrics, and the music world is called the story.

817
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:22.400
So let's read the story, and I want you to

818
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:26.039
connect with a story about how it rewakes. Oh my

819
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:32.000
cats are fighting, Okay, they don't agree. But I want

820
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:34.679
you to take the story and relate it to something

821
00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:39.480
in your life with that song in that way, because

822
00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:42.320
you want to own that story. You might not have

823
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.239
written it, you might not have the same story the

824
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:48.559
composer did, but find a way to connect with that

825
00:45:48.800 --> 00:45:52.320
story so that you can feel it and then you

826
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:55.199
can play it. And I think it is the best

827
00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:58.920
musician ship tip I can share.

828
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:02.199
With you because when I'm singing on stage and I

829
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:04.960
watch myself back back to your other question, now that

830
00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:08.199
you just jog something in my memory, and I tell myself, dell,

831
00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:12.079
feel the lyric, Yeah, feel the lyric. I feel it

832
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:13.559
in here? Why don't you let them?

833
00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:13.880
So?

834
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:17.639
A lot of it is letting myself be vulnerable when

835
00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:19.840
I get up there, to be vulnerable like they. I

836
00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:22.360
to show them how I feel when I sing that.

837
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:26.360
And I've been battling with that for years. I think

838
00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:29.440
that learning how to let it go right, to like

839
00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:32.519
let them feel how I feel. No judgment, but this

840
00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:34.760
is how I feel when I sing that lyric, like

841
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:37.039
when I do because of the night, because the night

842
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:40.760
is so personal to me. Yeah, and it just yeah,

843
00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:43.320
And I feel like they can see through my soul

844
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:44.199
when I sing that.

845
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:46.719
But it is what it is.

846
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:48.519
It conveys well.

847
00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:52.000
