(03:41):
much info and so much grace and mercy that time.
We're gonna even probably cut a few steps, you know,
you know after the end, you know, because you know
I'm gonna have to call an obstacle for that, you know,
my brother.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yes, yes, yes, wrong with prayer, and there's nothing wrong
with the altar call. Well, a lot of folks don't
know Lucifer was the first musician. And you know, if
we're not if we're not careful, you know, we can
get swallowed up into the hype.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Of the world.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
So yeah, there's nothing wrong all to call at the
studio at the gas station studio.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Because keeping of that, I've been going through so much,
my brother, I had to do that, let a lot
of stuff go because it was taking a lot of
stuff from the ministry of my ministry, you know, the
stuff that I'm doing, like what I'm doing right now,
my family and my home. You know, yes, I do
(04:50):
love the community. I love what I was doing. You know,
it's a lot you're stressing somebody out and you don't
even want the person to be there. It's not good now,
it's not.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
It's also good to be in good company as well,
especially in this line of words. Well not just music
individually just to see, but just anything that you touch.
You always want to surround yourself a good company, yes, yes, Motivation,
motivation to do better and to be better.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, you're right, and it's not it's just it's not
the far as of the church aspect, you know, it's
it's what I was going through with with community aspect.
And yes, I do love those children. I do love
the the things that I was doing for the community.
(05:52):
But you know, when you stressing your co workers out,
you know you got to let them know. You know,
this is not the only thing that I got going on.
You know, you understand what.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
They're trying to underestimate you and try you exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
That's basically what they was doing. Yes, especially out at
the same time. And God was not going to get
the victory. I mean, Satan was not going to get
the victory on that situation, right, So, my brother, we're
going with the Popkins intros tonight. What you okay? Good
(06:33):
number number ten, my brother?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
All right, I see me being a musician. I appreciate
this piece a lot because I'm uh, it's one thing
to play with the band that has.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Horns mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
But when you it hits different when you're playing with
the with the live band that has live orchestration, and
with this song, with this artist and this song, I
would have to say, you know, with Gloria Estefan and
the Miami Sound Machine congo, the first intro, Yeah, just
(07:15):
the intro within itself, you already know that. Okay, you
you got there, they got you got the attention of
the crowd, yes, sir, just just by the first two
to three bars of the horns, just saying okay, it's
time to come in and dance. We're about to have fun.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yes, sir, you're right about that.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
But that congo, when I listen, I hear I heard
bits and pieces of it, but listening to it for
the first time, I was like they really on that
back then, Yes, like instrumentation was I didn't realize how serious.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It was you know, you know we're speaking of that percussions.
Drums and percussions. It plays a big part of intro
and outro, you know that, right, right, So that's one
thing I listened to is the drums and the percussion
(08:25):
because I like me some congos and I like me
some percussion items, you know, like the shakers. Matter of fact,
I was using some on this Resurrection Sunday. You know,
people will call it a Easter, but it's a resurrection Sunday,
(08:48):
and we celebrated resurrection every day, you know, right, we
die daily, That's right. I heard that, you know. So
I'm thankful for God for shedding that blood on that
crust for us. He didn't have to do what he did.
(09:08):
He didn't have to do it, but he really did,
and I'm thankful for that.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Great is our faithfulness, Yes, sir, Yes up, yes sir.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
That's all. That's all I gotta say, so, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And it also says praise on with trumpets and horns
and streams. So he being being a musician, I am
listening to horns.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yes, It's like.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
We in the church community, we neglect the horns. They
use synthesizers as horns. I mean, ye, it doesn't. I'd
rather have the real instrument than the synthesizer.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
You you're correct, you're correct, But you do have some
peop pool that can play the horns on them. Synthesizers don't. Don't,
don't get it, don't get it incorrect. I'm not talking
about you. I'm talking about the world today. They they predict,
or they see or they hear. Okay, where's the horns
(10:17):
that but them synthesizers are playing the mornings.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Right, you can't forget about it, you're right, but not
the beats. The real thing though. I'm sorry. I wish
I wish I had milk and cookies and enjoy this.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
This man. Yeah, speaking of horns, I'm shot to shots
out to uh shots out to my stroll. David Breakley
when he came out with the h one night only
(11:03):
you know, you know White Knight. You know he had
orange and I love him for that, you know, and
that that took it. Just like you said, off the box,
off the box a whole nother level.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And don't and don't let the praise, don't let the
praise get too hot.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
It's game over.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
It's game over, that's all I gotta say.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, yes, sir, it is game over.
You are right about that, because them boys can do
some some serious things, you know, you know with them
the windpipes, you know. Mm hmm, yeah, you're right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
So we we have, you know, Gloria and stuff. Fine
shout outs to Gloria stuff fun in the Miami sound machine.
I'm not sure what year that song came out.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
But it was waiting for my time. Okay, all right, okay,
she said, was way before my time.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I'm not listening, man, I'm a little bit young. I mean,
come on now, get cut to slack now, bro, Yes,
I understand. But you know what, you get a lot
of wisdom or you know what you're doing, you know,
and that's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
You know. I've been falling you for quite some time, bro,
And it's a blessing to have a lot of wisdom
at your early age. It's a blessing. Well, thank you man.
Great people would like to listen, you know, people would
like to listen and be around you when they are
doing you know, you know, when you're giving that great
(12:39):
knowledge and that and that's a blessing to happen.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yes, yes, we we we love, we love wisdom. I
like I like wisdom because it helps you learn stuff.
That's that what you thought, you know, you don't know,
So it's always good to soak in good godly wisdom.
(13:03):
M you know the impression, you know, impression is always important,
but leading an impact, just being impacted, Yes.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Sir, you're right right, that's the one thing. Ah we
we we are having the conversation of the first thing
that you having an impact on. We're doing intro. So
that's a blessing. The first thing you listen to is
(13:38):
the intro and the outro or the chorus. If that
ain't right, you know, then we got a problem, right.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I love harmonies, but the intros and outrous is most
important to the song is how you start and how
you find it.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yes, sir, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yes, So shoutouts to Gloria st. Faun Miami Sound Machine

I would not want to mess with them music wise.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
You know, he's.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
He's doing that tour of us all the time. Matter
of fact, he recently recently just left here, I think
probably uh four to five months ago. He was at
open at the opening of a school and you know
I was there. Oh okay, yeah. It was a pastor

he you know, opened it up for the pastor and

If it ain't right, he will never do it at all.
Right you noticed that, Yeah, everything gotta be on plane.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And he's a musician himself, so that that makes it,
that makes a huge difference because you have singers. Even
though singers is a voice, is is a music musical instrument.
But to have vote to be a vocalist and a
musician that plays. He understands the dynamics of of songs, intros, outros,
(17:24):
and my favorite part about past the key, he lets
his musicians get a taste or something some of that shine.

I mean by top a lot as far as of
a musician. He's one of the best drummers that I know,
(40:15):

(03:41):
much info and so much grace and mercy that time.
We're gonna even probably cut a few steps, you know,
you know after the end, you know, because you know
I'm gonna have to call an obstacle for that, you know,
my brother.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yes, yes, yes, wrong with prayer, and there's nothing wrong
with the altar call. Well, a lot of folks don't
know Lucifer was the first musician. And you know, if
we're not if we're not careful, you know, we can
get swallowed up into the hype.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Of the world.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
So yeah, there's nothing wrong all to call at the
studio at the gas station studio.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Because keeping of that, I've been going through so much,
my brother, I had to do that, let a lot
of stuff go because it was taking a lot of
stuff from the ministry of my ministry, you know, the
stuff that I'm doing, like what I'm doing right now,
my family and my home. You know, yes, I do
(04:50):
love the community. I love what I was doing. You know,
it's a lot you're stressing somebody out and you don't
even want the person to be there. It's not good now,
it's not.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
It's also good to be in good company as well,
especially in this line of words. Well not just music
individually just to see, but just anything that you touch.
You always want to surround yourself a good company, yes, yes, Motivation,
motivation to do better and to be better.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, you're right, and it's not it's just it's not
the far as of the church aspect, you know, it's
it's what I was going through with with community aspect.
And yes, I do love those children. I do love
the the things that I was doing for the community.
(05:52):
But you know, when you stressing your co workers out,
you know you got to let them know. You know,
this is not the only thing that I got going on.
You know, you understand what.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
They're trying to underestimate you and try you exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
That's basically what they was doing. Yes, especially out at
the same time. And God was not going to get
the victory. I mean, Satan was not going to get
the victory on that situation, right, So, my brother, we're
going with the Popkins intros tonight. What you okay? Good
(06:33):
number number ten, my brother?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
All right, I see me being a musician. I appreciate
this piece a lot because I'm uh, it's one thing
to play with the band that has.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Horns mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
But when you it hits different when you're playing with
the with the live band that has live orchestration, and
with this song, with this artist and this song, I
would have to say, you know, with Gloria Estefan and
the Miami Sound Machine congo, the first intro, Yeah, just
(07:15):
the intro within itself, you already know that. Okay, you
you got there, they got you got the attention of
the crowd, yes, sir, just just by the first two
to three bars of the horns, just saying okay, it's
time to come in and dance. We're about to have fun.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yes, sir, you're right about that.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
But that congo, when I listen, I hear I heard
bits and pieces of it, but listening to it for
the first time, I was like they really on that
back then, Yes, like instrumentation was I didn't realize how serious.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It was you know, you know we're speaking of that percussions.
Drums and percussions. It plays a big part of intro
and outro, you know that, right, right, So that's one
thing I listened to is the drums and the percussion
(08:25):
because I like me some congos and I like me
some percussion items, you know, like the shakers. Matter of fact,
I was using some on this Resurrection Sunday. You know,
people will call it a Easter, but it's a resurrection Sunday,
(08:48):
and we celebrated resurrection every day, you know, right, we
die daily, That's right. I heard that, you know. So
I'm thankful for God for shedding that blood on that
crust for us. He didn't have to do what he did.
(09:08):
He didn't have to do it, but he really did,
and I'm thankful for that.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Great is our faithfulness, Yes, sir, Yes up, yes sir.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
That's all. That's all I gotta say, so, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And it also says praise on with trumpets and horns
and streams. So he being being a musician, I am
listening to horns.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yes, It's like.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
We in the church community, we neglect the horns. They
use synthesizers as horns. I mean, ye, it doesn't. I'd
rather have the real instrument than the synthesizer.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
You you're correct, you're correct, But you do have some
peop pool that can play the horns on them. Synthesizers don't. Don't,
don't get it, don't get it incorrect. I'm not talking
about you. I'm talking about the world today. They they predict,
or they see or they hear. Okay, where's the horns
(10:17):
that but them synthesizers are playing the mornings.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Right, you can't forget about it, you're right, but not
the beats. The real thing though. I'm sorry. I wish
I wish I had milk and cookies and enjoy this.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
This man. Yeah, speaking of horns, I'm shot to shots
out to uh shots out to my stroll. David Breakley
when he came out with the h one night only
(11:03):
you know, you know White Knight. You know he had
orange and I love him for that, you know, and
that that took it. Just like you said, off the box,
off the box a whole nother level.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And don't and don't let the praise, don't let the
praise get too hot.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
It's game over.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
It's game over, that's all I gotta say.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, yes, sir, it is game over.
You are right about that, because them boys can do
some some serious things, you know, you know with them
the windpipes, you know. Mm hmm, yeah, you're right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
So we we have, you know, Gloria and stuff. Fine
shout outs to Gloria stuff fun in the Miami sound machine.
I'm not sure what year that song came out.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
But it was waiting for my time. Okay, all right, okay,
she said, was way before my time.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I'm not listening, man, I'm a little bit young. I mean,
come on now, get cut to slack now, bro, Yes,
I understand. But you know what, you get a lot
of wisdom or you know what you're doing, you know,
and that's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
You know. I've been falling you for quite some time, bro,
And it's a blessing to have a lot of wisdom
at your early age. It's a blessing. Well, thank you man.
Great people would like to listen, you know, people would
like to listen and be around you when they are
doing you know, you know, when you're giving that great
(12:39):
knowledge and that and that's a blessing to happen.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yes, yes, we we we love, we love wisdom. I
like I like wisdom because it helps you learn stuff.
That's that what you thought, you know, you don't know,
So it's always good to soak in good godly wisdom.
(13:03):
M you know the impression, you know, impression is always important,
but leading an impact, just being impacted, Yes.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Sir, you're right right, that's the one thing. Ah we
we we are having the conversation of the first thing
that you having an impact on. We're doing intro. So
that's a blessing. The first thing you listen to is
(13:38):
the intro and the outro or the chorus. If that
ain't right, you know, then we got a problem, right.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I love harmonies, but the intros and outrous is most
important to the song is how you start and how
you find it.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yes, sir, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yes, So shoutouts to Gloria st. Faun Miami Sound Machine

Speaker 3 (14:08):
What do I have?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Oh yeah, John p Key and New Life Community. Quiet
clap your hands so yes as.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yes, yes, up, yes up all the way from the
Carolinas Man.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I tell you you know, same thing with Gloria step Fauns,
Same thing with Pastor John p Key dumb Horns. Oh
my goodness, I guess I'm on a horn fanatic tonight.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I guess I don't know, but yeah, it's how. It's
how they.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Shout out to shout outs to mohrns. For those of
y'all who don't know who mo Horns are, you can
find them on John p Key's records, and you can
find them on Fred Hammond's records, as well as Antalie
Wilson and s O P The Mohorns as as a trio.
I would not want to mess with them music wise.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
That's right. That's right, You're right about that. I sure
were not neither. I will go to any Jump can
Key concert any day. Oh yeah. And he still got it.
He still got it.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
You know, he's.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
He's doing that tour of us all the time. Matter
of fact, he recently recently just left here, I think
probably uh four to five months ago. He was at
open at the opening of a school and you know
I was there. Oh okay, yeah. It was a pastor
(15:50):
that started a church in one of the schools though
he you know, opened it up for the pastor and
it was a.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Great experience, I must say. You know, anytime you call
Pastor John P. Key and New Life, you will never
be disappointed, amner that you will never be disappointed.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Never, never, never, never come on. Clap your hand. Yeah,
I mean he'd be having the click tracks. Oh my goodness,
I'll be like Pastor. He'd be like, if it's not right,
(16:37):
he won't do it at all. That's that's that's that's
his uh, this clientele. That's just the way he is.
If it ain't right, he will never do it at all.
Right you noticed that, Yeah, everything gotta be on plane.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And he's a musician himself, so that that makes it,
that makes a huge difference because you have singers. Even
though singers is a voice, is is a music musical instrument.
But to have vote to be a vocalist and a
musician that plays. He understands the dynamics of of songs, intros, outros,
(17:24):
and my favorite part about past the key, he lets
his musicians get a taste or something some of that shine.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
So he does to harg it all yes, yes, yes,
hold on you you you about to mess up with
my my, my, my numbers. Bro Come on, come on.
