Tell them about tell the world about shared what you've
got going on, because before we get in to our session.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Okay, Well, man, I am a drummer for the majority
of my life. For about forty some odd years, I've
been playing drums my whole life, and I've actually stepped
out to be a mainstream artist instead of being behind
the scenes. So it's a little bit more challenging, man,
(03:40):
just trying to get the fan base going. But for
the most part, a lot of people never knew that I,
you know, seing. So now, Dad, I'm really like doing
that in the front. I'm excited about that. So I've
been like just putting record basically, just you know, getting
my records together versus to working on everybody else's.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Awesome. Man, that's a blessing, man. You know, it's encouraging
to just hear another drummer to say that he sings,
you know, yeah, that's my fourteenth too. But I didn't
pick it up until I was doing like a conference
(04:22):
in the church that I'm in right now. But they
didn't know I could sing. But you know, yeah, I
have to sing, but I don't, you know, I don't
think it up like I pick up some drumsticks.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Right. Yeah, I've been. I've been actually, you know, I
knew that I could sing for a while, but I
just kind of never had the opportunity to be recognized
up front because you know, everybody knows me from drums.
So when I you know, when they got discovered that
I could sing. Uh. They were basically just trying to
(04:58):
keep me in the bag more of me in the front,
you know. So I figured out a way to put
my drugs at the front and my microphone, you know, so.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
You check it out. But you got the microphone next
to your drums.
Speaker 2 (05:15):

Speaker 3 (09:08):
And as and as a drummer, uh you know we
we we coming up in church for me. Uh yeah,
I'm I'm an eighties baby.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I was born in the eighties, the year eighty and
uh watching a lot of the drummers coming up when
I was a kid. It was just it wasn't really
about like showboating or nothing like that. It was more
so about being able to play with people. Uh. So
(09:40):
they tossed the pocket a whole lot. It was always around,
you know, stay in the pocket. I remember the musician
turning around and even putting his hand in his pocket
on his shirt like telling the drummer like play pocket,
you know, but but listening to her music and how
how the band uh it makes the drummer feel. I've
(10:04):
practiced with that music, you know, and it made me
feel good about just developing different grooves on how to
play pocket, you know, and been good about pocket.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's really actually it's best. It's best to play pocket,
you know. Like some of the artists that I know
of out here is they tell you to know them
charts and basically to to know uh the skills what
you you know them songs? You know, if you know
(10:38):
them songs, you know them what you claim basically it's
it'll get you everywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You know. Yeah, that's right, and that used to be
honest with you man. I mean that the pocket is
my thing and it's my go to. I'll start a
groove before I before I sit down to try to
real you know. That's my first thing is the pocket,
because I grew up there. But it's just about making
(11:07):
this feel good. You know, a lot of people think
just because he's playing a straight beat that that's the pocket,
and it's not pocket. It's just a straight beat, you know. Yeah,
so right, so the Erica Badu thing, Man, it's just uh,
if you just listen to a lot of the songs, man,
shout out, shout out to, you know, Poogie, shout out
to uh Loc Johnson, Geno Lock Johnson. Now, uh, these
(11:33):
are the guys that that that played those records. So
shout out to Sian Edwards. You know these guys they
played the record and they understood, you know, what was
supposed to happen, and they kind of incorporated themselves without
going overboard and it you know it, I don't kind
of make it. An'll make the band jail and come together.
(11:53):
Everybody had and the voice. You're right, you're right. It's
number now.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, man, sit again, what's number nine?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Man? Number nine? I gotta stay. It's not in my state,
but it's down the street, I think. Man, you both
can agree when I say this name. Man, But the
one and only Miss Kimbarell herself. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Definitely definitely, most definitely, definitely, most definitely.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
She's she's one of my favorite that.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I can say that, I can say that she could
sing anything and just tear it up.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yes, lord man, let me ask your question. Have you
heard her? Have you heard her on the George Clinton record?
Her and George Clinton got all together. It's called uh matthmatics. Yes, yeah,
get opportunity and listen to that. Man, Like she is
(13:08):
really different. Well, Kim is Kim, of course, you know,
but she's really different on that the here, in that
in that lane. You know, I always I got much
respect for her. I followed Kim from the jazz. She's
always been gospel, you know, but I followed her from
the jazz. Follow you up, and uh, Kim is just amazing. Man.
(13:31):
She's another game changer. See. You know a lot of people,
uh start mimicking her right away, you know, because when
she came to the game, she changed it. She was
not doing what every other singer was doing. Well, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Can't nobody remember her. It's kind of it's kind of
hard to mimic. Uh, that's commit Kim Burrell. The reason why,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Know, maybe maybe be out there, but not out here.
It's like here when they follow in the other with
people here, man, they're gonna they're gonna stack into the
team they want. They want the artists themselves to be
happy about what they're hearing. Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:12):

first of all, thank you for for im to share
(21:26):
share this time man, uh and give my insight who
I think are some of the most greatest women in
the world long comes to our music and arts and
there gives some talents. Uh man, my next one, man,
hands down. I gotta say, miss Angie Stones bro okay, okay,
(21:52):
My reason for being is h Angie Stone came from
so Me I do our Germans of music and and
the phone. Her dad was a blues singer. Yoah wow,
blues singer. And he was told and so and Angie
(22:14):
caught onto the blues and quartet her dad got said
and started saying to quartet music. Oh uh, she caught
onto that man and went to know that her roofs
were blues and quartet. That made me pay attention to
her a little bit more. And so for me, you know,
(22:34):
my dad is a bass player and he grew up.
I grew up watching him playing in quartet, you know
a lot. And on the other end of it, my family,
my other family members was like, you know, into the blues,
you know. So that was sticking to my and my
sister outside of church of course or whatnot. But uh,
(22:57):
when I first heard her, you know approach, uh approached
blues song okay, and just hearing us saying background from
the courts, that that that changed my life. And so
like I started. I started like following her lifestyle and
(23:19):
a story whnot and uh then she started when she
came out with empowering songs about you know, the movement
of loving black men and respecting black men and putting
that out there, that just made me fall in love
with her more as a person, not even not even
so much. You know, I think that pours into you know,
(23:42):
I can't speak for everybody but poison to black musicians, uh,
such as myself. And I'm not biased to anybody, you know,
I love all race O kind or when not, But
this mean I think that that made me appreciate the
art of just one that I bring something to the table,
(24:02):
you know, outside of being a musician, like I was,
appreciate it, you know, so I would play with that
bride just knowing that, you know when I when I
walk in the building, I am somebody. Yeah you know,
so I think I think I think andrews Thoma for
that me myself. That's awesome. That's man, that's awesome. I'm
(24:27):
loving it and loving it. So Who's man? Never met him?
Person man that I wish I would have, you know, Yeah,
you got it? Yeah, so you say, who my next
one is h I know my list is wild, it's crazy, man.
But the render clerk, the render Clark is oh my,
(24:56):
you messed up when you said that, when we've once
said that.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Because I love me some clock sisters, yeah, yeah, I travel,
you know, I travel. I travel anywhere to go to
hear me some clock sisters, like I said, like I
told I would travel anywhere to give me some clock sisters.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Any anyways, I love I love the clock sisters, man. Uh.

the videos when Twinkie was playing the organ. Yeah, like
I've watched a lot of the tours and stuff I've seen.
But point, you got a differently noise mana she does.
(25:41):
She does, Yeah that she does. We got a different
annoying man when she touched that when she touched the
teas you can hang it up, you know up, you know.
But I love I love them all as a group.
But the thing about the Renda with me is, uh,
(26:01):
de Renda is solid all the way across the board.
All of them got that thing. But de Renda for
preaching is silent. Uh. Her singing is silent. Her raspiness,
the rastiness that she has outside of her other sisters.
It's very distinctive. And I've been like I've been on
(26:22):
that since they were little, like since they were young.
I've been Are you sure about that? Are you sure
about that? Are you sure about that?

real good people. Man. You got next, man, my next one.
(30:19):
It's miss Socka come brother, Okay, all right, Docka come.
And the reason why I say is Chaka Khan changed
the world. He changed the world with with from and
and and and not just Shacker Man, but all of
(30:40):
these women that I'm speaking of has done their part
with you know, projecting and creating fingers, you know, and
in in best not just in anything, but in the
world in church. Uh you know period man, So Chaka
Khan Man, I remember, everybody tries to sing, tell me
something good. Remember, you know, like everybody tries to make
(31:06):
that voice, make that big have that big voice. And uh,
her voice is commanded when you hear her while she
opened her mouth and she she she commands and demand everything. Yeah,
she's singing with her teeth smiling and she's still you know,
demanding the room.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
So like you, so I learned.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I learned a lot just watching watching her, man watching
her perform. I watched a lot of her Even today,
I still watch a lot of her YouTube on how
she how she operates on tour, you know, as far
as how the band, what the band does on tour,
and the energy and how it comes every night. Chaka
(31:51):
Kun does not perform the sing every every night. She
does not. It's not it's not it's not rehearsed for her,
even though as a format to the show, what she's
doing is not rehearsed. You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Yeah, and to think good thing about us Shaka Khan.
She's a drummer too, Yeah, yeah, you sure right. I
was surprised when I seen her get on the kit.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I was like, no, for real, no, I I saw you.
Pool could have for that. I wish I could have
witnessed that in person. That would have been nice, That
would have been amazing. That had been Oh my goodness.

like an odd moment because because what she's she basically
brings to the stage. She brings worship to the building.

she sets the atmosphere for these people, and she's telling
these people, you know that y'all need to come to

You about was at the gmw A that night on Wednesday,
and I was trying to get in, and they was
charging for to take I mean charging just the park.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Tell them about tell the world about shared what you've
got going on, because before we get in to our session.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Okay, Well, man, I am a drummer for the majority
of my life. For about forty some odd years, I've
been playing drums my whole life, and I've actually stepped
out to be a mainstream artist instead of being behind
the scenes. So it's a little bit more challenging, man,
(03:40):
just trying to get the fan base going. But for
the most part, a lot of people never knew that I,
you know, seing. So now, Dad, I'm really like doing
that in the front. I'm excited about that. So I've
been like just putting record basically, just you know, getting
my records together versus to working on everybody else's.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Awesome. Man, that's a blessing, man. You know, it's encouraging
to just hear another drummer to say that he sings,
you know, yeah, that's my fourteenth too. But I didn't
pick it up until I was doing like a conference
(04:22):
in the church that I'm in right now. But they
didn't know I could sing. But you know, yeah, I
have to sing, but I don't, you know, I don't
think it up like I pick up some drumsticks.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Right. Yeah, I've been. I've been actually, you know, I
knew that I could sing for a while, but I
just kind of never had the opportunity to be recognized
up front because you know, everybody knows me from drums.
So when I you know, when they got discovered that
I could sing. Uh. They were basically just trying to
(04:58):
keep me in the bag more of me in the front,
you know. So I figured out a way to put
my drugs at the front and my microphone, you know, so.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
You check it out. But you got the microphone next
to your drums.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I do I actually have I have a microphone, like
I said, a microphone, my kid.

thankful for all of the people that I touched with
that my blessings and stuff like that. But we're gonna
get on to this, uh where these people have been
(05:59):
waiting for war. They have been waiting for this music
reaction in the top and my brother, yeah, man, let's
get into it, RISD.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I'm ready, man, ready, all right.
Speaker 3 (06:12):

I'm I love my hometown, I love my city, you know. So, Uh,
it's just it's just, uh, she had an opportunity to
kind of just go across the world and change the
world in our music and inspire other people as well. Uh.
(06:45):
I've seen a lot of a lot of people come
up and just men herr sound or style and form
creation from it. And that's none other than miss Erica
Badu herself. You know. Wow. Uh she's uh, she's going

Speaker 3 (07:32):
She got some nice rhythms, don't you man?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Uh she man, she has a she has a very
eclected found that with not you know, I believe that
she definitely generated that energy of sound to have other
bands to start even mimicking that and other female singers
(07:56):
as well. Like I've been, I've been all across the world,
even over the glove on the other side, and you
find people that men that cursed down and prod of saying,
you know, and do what she do? Yeah right, right, yeah, yeah,
what what do you think?

Speaker 3 (08:56):
To listen to so some more, you know, you know,

Speaker 2 (09:00):
You know, basically.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
It's very eye kitchen and it caitchen.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
And as and as a drummer, uh you know we
we we coming up in church for me. Uh yeah,
I'm I'm an eighties baby.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I was born in the eighties, the year eighty and
uh watching a lot of the drummers coming up when
I was a kid. It was just it wasn't really
about like showboating or nothing like that. It was more
so about being able to play with people. Uh. So
(09:40):
they tossed the pocket a whole lot. It was always around,
you know, stay in the pocket. I remember the musician
turning around and even putting his hand in his pocket
on his shirt like telling the drummer like play pocket,
you know, but but listening to her music and how
how the band uh it makes the drummer feel. I've
(10:04):
practiced with that music, you know, and it made me
feel good about just developing different grooves on how to
play pocket, you know, and been good about pocket.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's really actually it's best. It's best to play pocket,
you know. Like some of the artists that I know
of out here is they tell you to know them
charts and basically to to know uh the skills what
you you know them songs? You know, if you know
(10:38):
them songs, you know them what you claim basically it's
it'll get you everywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You know. Yeah, that's right, and that used to be
honest with you man. I mean that the pocket is
my thing and it's my go to. I'll start a
groove before I before I sit down to try to
real you know. That's my first thing is the pocket,
because I grew up there. But it's just about making
(11:07):
this feel good. You know, a lot of people think
just because he's playing a straight beat that that's the pocket,
and it's not pocket. It's just a straight beat, you know. Yeah,
so right, so the Erica Badu thing, Man, it's just uh,
if you just listen to a lot of the songs, man,
shout out, shout out to, you know, Poogie, shout out
to uh Loc Johnson, Geno Lock Johnson. Now, uh, these
(11:33):
are the guys that that that played those records. So
shout out to Sian Edwards. You know these guys they
played the record and they understood, you know, what was
supposed to happen, and they kind of incorporated themselves without
going overboard and it you know it, I don't kind
of make it. An'll make the band jail and come together.
(11:53):
Everybody had and the voice. You're right, you're right. It's
number now.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, man, sit again, what's number nine?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Man? Number nine? I gotta stay. It's not in my state,
but it's down the street, I think. Man, you both
can agree when I say this name. Man, But the
one and only Miss Kimbarell herself. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Definitely definitely, most definitely, definitely, most definitely.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
She's she's one of my favorite that.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I can say that, I can say that she could
sing anything and just tear it up.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yes, lord man, let me ask your question. Have you
heard her? Have you heard her on the George Clinton record?
Her and George Clinton got all together. It's called uh matthmatics. Yes, yeah,
get opportunity and listen to that. Man, Like she is
(13:08):
really different. Well, Kim is Kim, of course, you know,
but she's really different on that the here, in that
in that lane. You know, I always I got much
respect for her. I followed Kim from the jazz. She's
always been gospel, you know, but I followed her from
the jazz. Follow you up, and uh, Kim is just amazing. Man.
(13:31):
She's another game changer. See. You know a lot of people,
uh start mimicking her right away, you know, because when
she came to the game, she changed it. She was
not doing what every other singer was doing. Well, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Can't nobody remember her. It's kind of it's kind of
hard to mimic. Uh, that's commit Kim Burrell. The reason why,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Know, maybe maybe be out there, but not out here.
It's like here when they follow in the other with
people here, man, they're gonna they're gonna stack into the
team they want. They want the artists themselves to be
happy about what they're hearing. Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
So yeah, the thing is they take it pretty serious,
you know, like you taking real service. Yeah, they taking
real serious.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Man. They try to they do that and go overboard
something they try okay taking awesome? Awesome?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
What's the question, rob, what what's what's what's some of
your favorite Kimbarell uh songs?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Or what what? What song does it for you? Like?

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah. So number uh is it number seven? That was
the number nine? Yeah? What's number number eight? I mean yeah,
number eight? Man, number eight for me, man, thank you,
first of all, thank you for for im to share
(21:26):
share this time man, uh and give my insight who
I think are some of the most greatest women in
the world long comes to our music and arts and
there gives some talents. Uh man, my next one, man,
hands down. I gotta say, miss Angie Stones bro okay, okay,
(21:52):
My reason for being is h Angie Stone came from
so Me I do our Germans of music and and
the phone. Her dad was a blues singer. Yoah wow,
blues singer. And he was told and so and Angie
(22:14):
caught onto the blues and quartet her dad got said
and started saying to quartet music. Oh uh, she caught
onto that man and went to know that her roofs
were blues and quartet. That made me pay attention to
her a little bit more. And so for me, you know,
(22:34):
my dad is a bass player and he grew up.
I grew up watching him playing in quartet, you know
a lot. And on the other end of it, my family,
my other family members was like, you know, into the blues,
you know. So that was sticking to my and my
sister outside of church of course or whatnot. But uh,
(22:57):
when I first heard her, you know approach, uh approached
blues song okay, and just hearing us saying background from
the courts, that that that changed my life. And so
like I started. I started like following her lifestyle and
(23:19):
a story whnot and uh then she started when she
came out with empowering songs about you know, the movement
of loving black men and respecting black men and putting
that out there, that just made me fall in love
with her more as a person, not even not even
so much. You know, I think that pours into you know,
(23:42):
I can't speak for everybody but poison to black musicians, uh,
such as myself. And I'm not biased to anybody, you know,
I love all race O kind or when not, But
this mean I think that that made me appreciate the
art of just one that I bring something to the table,
(24:02):
you know, outside of being a musician, like I was,
appreciate it, you know, so I would play with that
bride just knowing that, you know when I when I
walk in the building, I am somebody. Yeah you know,
so I think I think I think andrews Thoma for
that me myself. That's awesome. That's man, that's awesome. I'm
(24:27):
loving it and loving it. So Who's man? Never met him?
Person man that I wish I would have, you know, Yeah,
you got it? Yeah, so you say, who my next
one is h I know my list is wild, it's crazy, man.
But the render clerk, the render Clark is oh my,
(24:56):
you messed up when you said that, when we've once
said that.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Because I love me some clock sisters, yeah, yeah, I travel,
you know, I travel. I travel anywhere to go to
hear me some clock sisters, like I said, like I
told I would travel anywhere to give me some clock sisters.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Any anyways, I love I love the clock sisters, man. Uh.
I like I like to witness. I like to watch
the videos when Twinkie was playing the organ. Yeah, like
I've watched a lot of the tours and stuff I've seen.
But point, you got a differently noise mana she does.
(25:41):
She does, Yeah that she does. We got a different
annoying man when she touched that when she touched the
teas you can hang it up, you know up, you know.
But I love I love them all as a group.
But the thing about the Renda with me is, uh,
(26:01):
de Renda is solid all the way across the board.
All of them got that thing. But de Renda for
preaching is silent. Uh. Her singing is silent. Her raspiness,
the rastiness that she has outside of her other sisters.
It's very distinctive. And I've been like I've been on
(26:22):
that since they were little, like since they were young.
I've been Are you sure about that? Are you sure
about that? Are you sure about that?
Speaker 3 (26:30):
You?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Are you sure? Listen to listen to the Listen to
listen to uh uh, Jesus brought the sunshine. Listen to
her her part on that as and when they first Lady,
and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. I got you,
I got you. Reason why I was saying that because
I love me some Karen Clock. Uh, Lady Man, I
(26:57):
love shout out. Shout out to Karen Man. Shout out
to Aaron Claus Share, you know, shout out to all
of the clerks.
Speaker 1 (27:04):

take away from Karen Man, you know, not at all.
Karen is awesome, bro, he is. I love her. I
love him even Jackie. You know, they came to Dallas.
It was a beautiful thank for me. Uh, I had
an opportunity to we were actually doing like I want to.
(27:28):
I can't remember exactly what the event was for. I
want to say it was like the Dallas chapter of
the Gospel Music Workshop of America America. Yeah yeah, yeah,
And so they came up to Dallas, man and uh
me and four other drummers. It was actually meet me
(27:49):
and Cleon and and a guy named Dennis Ford, uh
Marcus a guy named Marcus Jones.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
And I'm trying to think and as well, that's what
it was, Uh, Anthony Gardner and we oh we we
put we put five drum kits on on stage. Man,
and and we and we we would have first wanted
to put a routine together and do that, you know
before people start trying to put that together and do
(28:22):
it around the world. But with that just to just
to try to show the musicianship in Dallas and about how,
you know, how drummers can work together and I play
on top of each other, you know. So we we
set up a little It was cool. It was really
really dope. Uh. This happened like maybe around two thousand
(28:42):
and twelve something like that.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Amazing, amazing, amazing twelve.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah that's when this was twenty twelve. Wow. Oh yeah,
man and the Clark Susters many they hung out with us, man,
and they treat us like they treat us great, like
the render Drenda and Jackets started shouting, Man, it was
just our drums and we had our grooves going, and
they started shouting to what we were doing. It was yeah,
(29:19):
it was really good. Man.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
You can't that's kind of hard to get stars out
to your your events. And and they that's that's love
when they came out.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Man. Man, Well, here's the thing is that it wasn't
my event. It was the god for Music Workshop of America.
And my god Dennis for he was drummer. He was
a drummer for for one of the guys that that
was hosting here in Dallas. And so he asked if
we were put on an ad you know, and and
(29:54):

just I appreciate, you know, shout out to speaking the
kay man for for that opportunity just putting us so,
you know, putting this song and putting us in front
of them, you know, because they love good, real good people, bro,
real good people. Man. You got next, man, my next one.
(30:19):
It's miss Socka come brother, Okay, all right, Docka come.
And the reason why I say is Chaka Khan changed
the world. He changed the world with with from and
and and and not just Shacker Man, but all of
(30:40):
these women that I'm speaking of has done their part
with you know, projecting and creating fingers, you know, and
in in best not just in anything, but in the
world in church. Uh you know period man, So Chaka
Khan Man, I remember, everybody tries to sing, tell me
something good. Remember, you know, like everybody tries to make
(31:06):
that voice, make that big have that big voice. And uh,
her voice is commanded when you hear her while she
opened her mouth and she she she commands and demand everything. Yeah,
she's singing with her teeth smiling and she's still you know,
demanding the room.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
So like you, so I learned.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I learned a lot just watching watching her, man watching
her perform. I watched a lot of her Even today,
I still watch a lot of her YouTube on how
she how she operates on tour, you know, as far
as how the band, what the band does on tour,
and the energy and how it comes every night. Chaka
(31:51):
Kun does not perform the sing every every night. She
does not. It's not it's not it's not rehearsed for her,
even though as a format to the show, what she's
doing is not rehearsed. You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Yeah, and to think good thing about us Shaka Khan.
She's a drummer too, Yeah, yeah, you sure right. I
was surprised when I seen her get on the kit.
Speaker 2 (32:22):

like an odd moment because because what she's she basically
brings to the stage. She brings worship to the building.

she sets the atmosphere for these people, and she's telling
these people, you know that y'all need to come to

same energy tomorrow, it's gonna always the bar is gonna be,
you know, ten times higher, sixteen times higher than it
(36:49):
was from the show last night. They go out to
make the show, even though it's the same format. It's
about the energy, you know. So the energy that they
bring to these yohes, man, is just there's so much bigger.
So it makes you want to follow them to the
next city to see what's gonna happen. You know what
I'm saying it's true. Yeah, shout out to Jill's guy,
