with addiction. He's described as a mama's boy, former professional
basketball player who he loves. He's looking for love that

documentary on the Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe. If you didn't
know this Old Quarter, it's old originally in Houston back
in the sixties and now is a present location near
the Strand that opened in the nineties and it is
a long story history. Joel Moore is the current owner,
says he has hours of footage enough to easily blow
past the two hour mark, maybe even make this thing

(03:12):
a series. He's opened a rap filming up and begin
editing by the end of this year. He's also working
with the Galveston Historic Downtown Cultural Arts District to map
out an event they're calling the Old Quarter Songwriter Festival,
tentatively scheduled for November next year. Which he envisions as
Galveston's next must go to festival. It's really cool, especially
with that prequel nineteen twenty three filming down the island

documentary and festival. Keep an eye out for our own
Galveston Island getting the spotlight.

of the eighties nineties and today we've been talking about

What do you rely on? Our face question at Sunny

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Your alarms, the radio, your significant other, and what do

for so long that I just naturally wake up Selenia.
It says God awakes me. Then Sunny ninety nine point
one music, love that Renee. I have three alarms which
I usually snooze through. Then my wife tends to wake
me up. Then we had a bunch of people named Debbie.
Cat's waken her in the morning. Sherry, her dog LEXI
pause at her to let her out right around five

The min For me, coffee wakes me up.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
That is, That's what when I don't feel like it,
I think of that smell.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
And I'm like, there we go, and we're asking you
to We've got candor calling in.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Now you've used alarms. How many do you use to
wake up?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Well, I said it three, but typically I'm up on
the first one. All right, So you said three three
different times? And do you ever wake up before the
alarm goes off?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Well? Just for it? And by how much?

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Because sometimes I set my alarm for two forty five
and sometimes I'm wide awake at one thirty and I'm going,
why what is going on?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well? It was probably about fifteen minutes before. It's like,
my body knew it was gonna get it was gonna
go off. But I have an alarm like that says
I need to get up, and then I have one that.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Says like, okay, this is it, you have to get
up now, and then I have one that says you
about to leave for work.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
It's such a rip off when your alarm goes off
fifteen minutes before. No, when you wake up fifteen minutes
before the alarm goes off, because yeah, it's not it's
silly to go back to sleep.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
What's the point? Oh you can't. Oh you're gonna screw yourself.
What is your morning time? When do you win? When
do you have to wake up in the morning? Well,
the kids just started school, so I have to get
up earlier. So now I have to get up at
five thirty, but I've been get up at six. Yeah,
about five fifteen in this morning?

Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Do you at least set aside time to make some coffee?

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, the first day, I'm going straight to the coffee.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
It's actually the coffee is the reason I wake up
in the morning.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
That's my motivation. What are we talking about candor and
how's everyone de When did the kids go back to school? Yesterday?
