Show, which is what we're doing right now.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
We just keep on.

Speaker 4 (00:09):
Going, guys. I know we've been talking on the show. Sam,
you said that Jackson now has a new drum set.

Speaker 5 (00:16):
Yeah, my thirteen year old Jackson has it. Well, it's pads.
It's not a like a full blown drum set, noisy.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
It's it practice pads.

Speaker 5 (00:24):
It's practice pads. But they're a raid just like drums.
Are you know the snare and the bass.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Drum and all that, and are they electronic? Sam? Or Now?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Now this is in the eighties, David, why do you act?

Speaker 4 (00:35):
Well, I'm just asking because of that. And then I
know Jody, y'all's oldest Taylor plays piano. Does Phoebe play two?
Or Phoebe played viola?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
And I missed the sound of her practicing that, but
she wanted to take a break from it.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
So where do they get these musical gifts from? Did
y'all play any instruments?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Let me look over my shoulder. I'm here.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
I took piano lessons when I was a little girl
because I thought I wanted to play piano in church
and it didn't work for me, and I didn't love
it and I gave it up.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
But I just never I mean, my parents had a
keyboard really is what they called an organ early on? Yeah,
and so I mean I have developed the love for it,
but I never took any formal training. I do have
an ear for it, so if I taken the formal training,
I probably would do great. I'm guessing the girls just
have picked up me and Jody's love for music, because
do you have to have like the music is constantly

(01:26):
on in the house one way or the other.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah, well that's all I was curios about it. Didn't
know feels something you know, you inherit or something.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Just picked them up. I never thought always well out, Sam,
did you ever play the drums?

Speaker 5 (01:34):
Yeah? I played the drums in middle school for a
year or so.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Really, you could have put that in your true truth.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
I didn't know how to play the drums set I had.
I was assigned one drum for marching and oh okay, and.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
You kept it in time.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
I just got tired of carrying the drum and march
it in parade. So oh, poor baby. Yeah, Okay, I'm
glad you brought that up, because that's what I was
gonna say. I don't know if you'll know this about me,
but when I was in junior high I was in
the band for two years.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Cool, what did you play? That's the fun part. I
played the trombone. Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
This is also the reason why I had to not
quit but not continue the band, because I'm a person
where I like to strive to do the best everything
I can do. Yes, So my first year, you know,
getting used to the instrument first chair, because that's all
it goes. You know that you put your best person
in the first chair and that's the order of things.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
Right.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Well, towards the end of the year, my short arms
couldn't get to all the notes of the trombone, and
so I got bumped down to second chair and third
chair and it kept getting worse, and I was like,
all right, and that was so discouraging. And my parents
always raised me to never quit anything. Once you start,
you see it out to the end. So I saw
it out to the end of the year, and I
just didn't continue to do it.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Right, They can't.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Make adjustments on a trombone like that. I mean, I'm
just asking. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Yeah, the adjustment is play a trumpet.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Hey, there's too many people in the trumpet.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
We had like twenty guys in the trumpets and only
like six trombones. So I didn't really have a choice
because whatever, I didn't want to just file in like
the rest of it.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Had one in your hands today? Did you play that? Could?
Just the weird noise?

Speaker 2 (03:03):
That was my favorite?

Speaker 4 (03:04):
But yeah, I was really good until I mean, not
trying toot my own horn. But but there was just
that point where like I couldn't no matter. I was
on the tips of my fingers and this, you know,
musical instructors like you either got to suck it up,
not be in the best or this is your end
of your band career, not meant to be.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
It for me, not meant to be I guess
