(02:06):
also tomorrow as well. Chris Lawrence and Tom Bragger here, Chris,
good morning, our show. You know, we got a little
bit of a Logan County flair going on here because
you are rocking the Man High Hillbillies hoodie today. I
go wearing this.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Somebody said goes, oh, you from Man because they are yeah,
and I went, no, I just know a guy.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yes, you know the American psychic. I do know the
American American Psycho. Every Christmas there's a there's usually a
box that rolls in here to the radio ranch, and
it's usually got Hillbilly gear in it. I've got all
their baseball hats. They've got more baseball hats than major leaguers. Yeah,
they got like four different versions of that thing. And
the odd thing about that is T shirts and hoodies.

(02:47):
And Mike Crosby, who were referring to there's coach down there.
Mike and I have been friends for well over thirty years,
I have never gotten anything. That's because I graduated from Logans.
I am rocking the Logan high gear today because they
played Dodridge County. Well, so man Man gets another shot
at Wahama. Yeah, good luck, good luck. Tom Bragg is

(03:07):
here as well. Now man all right, Chris, I'll start
with your game that you're doing.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeah, we got a rematch of the Capitol Cougar's taking
on the Nitro Wildcats. This was a game that on
Halloween Night resulted in a twenty two to twenty final.
The first half featured just back and forth scoring with
lots of that game had everything, great defense, great offense.
We had a big boy touchdown with Zion Clark intercepting

(03:32):
a pass on the one yard line and stepping over
the line to score. And we had a couple of
missed extra points by both teams. So it was twenty
twenty at the half, and it was the second half.
A safety was the difference that Nitro tackled quarterback Fernando
Valdivia in the backfield, and the backfield just happened to
be in the end zone, and that was the I
did not think at the time that happened that would

(03:54):
be the end of the game. But that was the
final result of the game, was a two point win
by Nitro. They escaped that night. Can they do it again?
I know that Capital is relishing the opportunity to get
another chance at.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
That, and you guys are on the air, ats.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
We'll be on there at six thirty because playoff games
all kick off at seven o'clock on Friday night, so
that'll be the game. We'll we'll dump out of sports
line a little bit earlier this.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
And you'll have a lot better weather than what you
did last week. Indeed, and I'll be in the booth
this week in the press box. They have made accommodations.
See take that, streamers, I said it. I don't care.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Well.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Well, we'll be in the booth tonight. But it's supposed
to be a beautiful night. It's a great night for
four Yeah, temperatures in the sixties and just a clear evening,
so it should.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Be a lot of fun, all right. West virgin Outdoors Tomorrow,
we're talking about deer season, a buck season in particular.
Coming up.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
We'll have the deer Project leader from West Virginia DNR
on with us, Brett Skelly and we'll pick his brain.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
About what we need to know going into hunting season.
All right, Chris Lawrence will be listening to night and
listening tomorrow morning. Have a great broadcast, have a good one,
and I will get a picture of us for you know,
rocking the logo. And then I'll have somebody from Chapmanville
region a little hit me up and go out. Can
we don't have Chapmanville gear on.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
We don't have any friends in Chapmanville. We've had very
few friends to begin with. All Right, I will rock
the Chapmanville gear if they send some little fit. That's
kind of how I am. I'm gonna I'll take it
all so.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
All right, we'll talk to some of the women down there.
All right, Tom Bragg is here. Uh you got Hoover right, yeah, Winfield,
Hoover and Winfield tomorrow. Fellas, I've got friends in Chapmanville.
I've got a Chappinville football shirt. I could have warned
we got to coordinate these things about Yeah, all right,
I do want to say this though, in all seriousness,
you know, hearts are heavy in LF right now because
of the mister Lipskin.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yeah, I saw that this morning where the hometown of
the gentleman who passed away in the mind this week,
just an unfortunate situation that unfortunately, if we've been around
the media long enough, you've seen this a couple of times.
It never never gets any easier. Always a bad deal.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, and apparently, I mean, you know, we talked about
it at Nausey Masterday. The guy died a hero. He
was a decorated war veteran as well, and so uh
uh and and I would say, you know, because he
was pretty well known in the l community. Even when
I understand that they'll probably do something that, yeah, I reckon.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
They're pretty good about that stuff down there. But it's
an interesting game. David rematch, similar to Chris, is of
a regular season game, this one a little earlier in
the year, a little different result. In the regular season,
Hoover and Winfield played in Week two. That was the
Friday night. I'm sure Chris remembers of all the rain
and lightning. The games got delayed and a lot of
them pushed back to Saturday. Hoover and Winfield was one
of those. So we were on the air, Matt and

(06:21):
I for the Friday night portion of that. I forget
what the score was at the break, but Winfield hadn't scored,
Winfield hadn't gotten a first down by the time we
went into the break, resumed on Saturday, finished thirty five
zero Hoover, and I said, early in the year and
seeing that performance from Winfield, Matt and I both talked
and we were like, man, maybe this isn't going to
be a great year for Winfield. Seems like maybe they're

(06:41):
a little bit down. But the general seems to have
figured some things out along the way. They finished the
season seven and three. Their three losses pretty good teams.
They lost to Hoover, they lost to Nitro, and they
lost to Princeton. They won all the rest of them.
So we'll see what happens on Saturday. That's a one
o'clock kickoff out in Elkfu. We'll have that on ninety
six one and on five to eighty. But I'm curious

(07:02):
to see what this version of Winfield is because just
judging from the results and the people I have talked to,
it's a very different team than what we saw early
in September.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
All Right, and of course after the game tonight, we'll
have the scoreboard show, right it's called Metron's Game Night,
Game Night. I don't know why. I just I was
gonna say spill on the air like twenty five years.
I don't know why. I just suddenly drew a blank.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
And what the name of the Fred like the most
legendary broadcaster in high school football?

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, so that's the Yeah, that's the little thing that
they do. Yeah. So that's that'll be on like thirty
five all right, and the internet. I know, I know,
I was in charge of putting that thing on the
air for many many years, and yet never knew the
name of it. I just called it the Fred Show.
All right.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
All right, guys, go do some work. Usually I usually
just say Dave and Fred keep it simple.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, yeah, But which Dave, which of the fifty seven
days in this company is that you run into that sometimes?

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Right?

Speaker 2 (07:54):

Angie Gillenwater from the Canal Charleston, You're main association with
this week's Adopt Me Please Pet of the Week, Angie,

(08:16):
Good morning, how you doing?

Speaker 6 (08:18):
Good morning.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
I'm excited to talk about the pet this week.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah. I mean we've already got, you know, a little
internet buzz going on because our Adopt Me Please pet
of the Week this week. Not a dog, not a cats,
it's a pig. It's a big name, Amy Swinehouse. I
got at you sent me that last night, and as
you always do, you send them with the information, and
I thought, well, that's that's good. Angie's drinking, That's what

(08:43):
I thought. But so we got a pig and we
got the picture posted Dave Allen Rainio on Facebook at
Dave A seventy and x. Also the WCHS network page.
Tell us the story of our Adopt Me Please put
of the Week Amy's Swinehouse.

Speaker 6 (08:57):
Uh So, miss Amy, she came to us yesterday yesterday afternoon.
She was abandoned in like a little pig pen area.
We initially thought that, you know, she had just been
left abandoned, but it turns out that her owner passed away,
so we are searching for a new home for her.
We don't really have the means to take care of

(09:17):
her long term at the shelter, so we've been her
adoption to zero dollars for potential adopters to come up
and take her and give her a much better life
than what we can long term. But she's super sweet.
She literally she just walked up to all of us
yesterday with her little piggy tail, just wagging and grunting

(09:38):
and oinking at us. But I don't have any history
on you know, how old she is, what breed she is,
So if the pig experts want to weigh in on
that one for me, yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I mean, I don't know the first thing about about
pigs and other than I will say it's a good
looking pig, and the picture is posted you can go
check it out for yourself. But you said it's about
one hundred pounds, right, Yeah, I would say she's.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
About one hundred dish pounds and me being around five
foot eleven, she comes up to about my kneecasts. Okay,
all right, so she's kind of on the petite side
of the pigs that I've seen in my time.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
There's something you'll ever say again. All right, So for people,
and I don't know how much experence you have at this,
but but for people, for people that maybe you've encountered
in the past that have raised pigs, what do you
need to know about raising pigs? Because I was just
we were talking off air. Chris Lawrence's son when he
was growing up, had a pet pig. Leah, one of
the girls in her office, she had a pig at

(10:37):
one point. It's not for everybody, because it's not It's
a little bit of a different animal to have, right, correct.

Speaker 6 (10:43):
So I've never personally had pigs as pets before, but
I have heard and also reading through our Facebook comments
that they are very very very smart creatures and they
need a person to take them that can you know,
if that can handle that and train that appropriately or else.
If they're not you know, trained appropriately and cared for appropriately,

(11:04):
they do become menaces, is what I've heard. So, but yeah,
I would say that if you had if this is
going to be your first time pig, please research before
you come up to us, because we also are first
pretty much first time pig owners and don't have a
lot of info for you, so please please please research well.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
And we had a text here about that, and I
would have put it says, how do your research an
adopter for a pig that they will not harm her?
And I and I know what they mean by harm her.
They mean put her on a plate more than likely,
That's what they mean. These type of pigs, I mean,
you know, and I'm going to say this as nicely
as I can. Chris and I talked about this. These
type of pigs are not going to make good bacon.

(11:43):
They're not They're not designed for that, I mean, and
then they're they're not good. These are pets. These are
not designed for that. And they're probably what I from
what Chris told me and his son said, uh, and
his research is that they are not They're they're not
to be eaten. They're not that kind of pig exactly.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
That's just how we were talking about like yesterday, That's
how we were deciding on, you know, what heard options
you would be and how we were going to avoid that.
And somebody made the point that people that butcher pigs
for me and raise them for me, know what kind
of pigs to raise and butcher for meat and whatever
type of pig she is, which to me she kind

(12:21):
of looks like a pot bellied pig. They like you said,
they do not make good meat. Pigs that you know
are going to last year through the winter.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
All right, all right, we had a question here, said,
how this, How are the six puppies that were left
outside in an unsecured tote with no food, water, blankets,
soaked and freezing? Saw the pick on Facebook and they're
beautiful and do you know anything about that?

Speaker 6 (12:43):
So later in the day we noticed that they were
a little ill, so we did a parvo test to
test them for parvovirus and they did end up testing positive.
So they are all receiving treatment in our parvo isolation. Ward,
all of them are doing phenomenal. All they're still playful
and happy little puppies. And say, if you're interested in adopting,

(13:05):
they should be available within the next ten days or so.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
All Right, you guys out and about anywhere this weekend.

Speaker 6 (13:12):
I'll be at the Sell Charleston Library tomorrow from twelve
to three hanging out with some adoptable puppies and kittens.
If anyone wants to stop.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
By now, if you wanted to take the pig out.
Could you do that?

Speaker 6 (13:23):
I guess I could, But my key a K five
is not quite equipped to transport her, so I guess I.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Could, though, Yeah, I mean I just was kind of
wondering about that. And somebody also had asked you of
the text on Angie about some of the restrictions about
having pet pigs, like in city limits and things of
that nature. You don't anything about that, correct.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
So that actually is so within certain city limits here
in Kandall County, you are actually not allowed to own
pet pigs, farm pigs, et cetera. So a lot of
the pigs that we do get into the shelter are
because of those, you know, those laws that are set
in that you may not have the pigs.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
So, I mean, what we would urge people to do
is is just reach out and do their research and
find out if you live in city limits of Charleston,
Saint Aubans, wherever you may be listening, make sure that
you can have one of those in city limits. I mean,
that's it. And again, these pets are these pigs, I mean,
they're basically like dogs. I mean they stay inside, for
some of them do anyway, they stay inside they're very,

(14:23):
very gentle, most of them are. There's going to be
exceptions to that. So I would say before you think
about adopting the pig, that you do a little research.
Call your city hall, go online or whatever and find
out whether you're allowed to have said animal within within
the city limits. All right, what do you need of?
I know you always need some stuff of their donation wise,
what do you need of?

Speaker 6 (14:41):
Purina, dog, chel dog, wet food and volunteers are big
ones right now to just help us get the dogs
outside a little bit more than what we can offer.
So if you want to walk a dog, and I
know it's a little cold outside, but they would truly
appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
All right, and you we appreciate it. And we got
an all out effort to try to get this pig
adopted by somebody, and I appreciate We've got it all
over So and now I'm gonna ask if I got
I got Tony the Taylor and his band coming in
here momentarily, so I'm gonna ask them if if one
of them will adopt it. This is gonna be my
question to everybody today, HENK, would you like to have
a pig? Because we got to get this pig adopted

(15:17):
and you will talk again next week. Thanks a lot.

Speaker 6 (15:19):
Sounds good one, all right?

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Doct me please better? The week is Amy Swinehouse. She
is a very sweet pig and her picture is a
posted Dave Alan Radio and Facebook and at Dave A
seventy on axel so the WHS network page as well.
We had to text someone says, if I adopt the pig,
can I butcher at? The answer to that is no,
because it is not designed to be butchered. These type

(15:41):
pigs are not to be eaten, all right, So no,
you you cannot. All right, We're gonna take a break.
We'll get serious on a Friday a little bit later
on because today's the fifty fifth anniversary of the Marshall
plane crash. Steve Cotton, voice of the Thunder and Hers

Speaker 10 (18:25):
I will, uh, and you are and I'm Johnny Compton. Okay.
We started the band in twenty eighteen.

Speaker 11 (18:31):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (18:31):
At that point it was myself Doodle here and my
son on bass and we recorded our first album, West
by God. It came out with twenty twenty, twenty twenty,
I believe it did. And Uh, since that time, man,
it's been a We've evolved and uh now to we're
we're a seven piece band, three guitars, keyboards, if we
have a female vocalist, and uh, you know, we're where

(18:54):
we are right now is where we wanted to be
at the beginning. So we're really happy with the lineup,
really happy with these songs, uh, and just excited to
get them out to you guys.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
How would you describe to music? We're gonna roll some
of it here a little.

Speaker 10 (19:07):
Bit so people get out rock and roll West Virginia.
Rock and roll is what we call it. Obviously, there
are some our influences do show, uh, Southern rock and
blues and that that sort of thing. But we call
it West Virginia rock man.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Well, and that's the thing about you know, growing up
here in West Virginia. Are you all you guys from
West Virginia?

Speaker 10 (19:26):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (19:26):
All right? Uh so we we get a lot of
different kinds of music in here. I mean because being
West Virginia, you're gonna have a little country, but you're
gonna have some bluegrass and you're gonna have some rock.

Speaker 10 (19:36):
And I mean we got we had a little bit
of or and there is some country influence in what
we do too.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
And there is a I mean people, I think sometimes
don't realize that there is a thriving music secene a
West Virginia. I mean you talk about everybody knows about
mountain stage and things of that nature, and but but
I mean there is.

Speaker 10 (19:51):
West Virginia is fantastic. It's fantastic. So many amazing musicians.

Speaker 12 (19:56):
Quite a few good great musicians just here.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
A little absolutely and talk about mean the history of
musicians that have come out of West Virginia. I mean
people like Johnny Johnson and uh John Ellison, and I
mean there's a lot of good uh, Bob Thompson, Charlie McCoy,
I mean I could just go on and on about
the legend. Yeah, and that's just a few of them.
That's just a few of them.

Speaker 13 (20:18):
Well, we did the we did the first album we did.
Somebody reporter did a review and he described us. He said,
if Leonard Scanner and Motorhead had a baby, it would
be a steel And that's.

Speaker 10 (20:32):
The first the first record. Yeah, the first record is
is Uh. It came out a little heavier than that
I think we anticipated in coming out because of the
time period we were it was. It was written written
during COVID and you know, we couldn't be around each
other very much, so just wound up being a little
darker and a little angrier than than but which I mean,
it's a great album, very very but it's it's It

(20:54):
definitely has the that uh that bob to the edge
to it. This one. This album is uh. I I
like to think we've refined it a little a little bit,
you know what I mean, and and really settled into
what we are.

Speaker 14 (21:06):
So you know, with the with the addition of the
keyboards and Bush on base and the vocals Tracy and
Terry and we've got several of us sing so uh
that having those extra weapons, So to pull upon we
get these songs together really makes a big difference.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
And this is all original musically. Okay, you guys, when
you're in concert, I'm sure you do a cover.

Speaker 10 (21:28):
Yeah, yeah, in concert, we we throw some covers in.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I mean, because it's required that every band do give
me three steps. I mean that's before you get your
musician's license in West virgin You got to do that
and figure out how to do country roads somehow. Everybody
that those are those required.

Speaker 10 (21:45):
Exactly we do.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
We do.

Speaker 10 (21:47):
We actually do a version of country Roads, but it's not.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Like and that's good. That's what we want to hear.
All right, you want to play a little bit of
their music here. I don't know what we're gonna That's
why I put parent Zeno in there. Mountain song. Okay,
that's what you were screaming in my earlier with Mountain song. Okay,
so we're gonna play this, uh, this particular track and
we'll let it go for a little while. You starting
from the beginning, Stephanie, Okay, we're starting from wherever Tony
the Taylor says, we're supposed to start it from missus

(22:11):
Mountain song, don't.

Speaker 15 (22:16):
Sing enough being no word, chasing his tail, Losy Dacy shoes.

Speaker 13 (22:27):
Man in the brooks down and.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
In another soul for nuts, got.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
A nice cold beer, my feet rocked.

Speaker 15 (22:45):
Second calm whiskey from the coffee.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Let it.

Speaker 13 (22:54):
Not saying.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
It singing a cold.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Matter?

Speaker 10 (23:02):
Who's wrong?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Over all? Right?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
What you're listening to? You there, that's a little lamous
steel there and that's Mountain song. Now, which one of
you is responsible for that or the collaborative efort? It's
pretty much a collaborative effort. I tend to start things
with the first three.

Speaker 10 (23:20):
Songs anyway, Uh, I tend to. I wrote, I think
I wrote all the lyrics.

Speaker 12 (23:25):
And mostly we just we added a few, Yeah, we had.

Speaker 10 (23:28):
I wrote this first right now this so I it's
just a song about being from West Virginia, living up
in up the hills and not not wanting to be
messed with, you know, by anyone, just want to live
your life.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
And sure, what's your guy's writing style? Like, I mean,
is it? Do you get in? Because that's one thing
I love to talk to musicians about or even authors.
It's like, well do you sit down and say I'm
gonna write or do you say I'm driving through the
Wendy's and I get this idea for something I write
on the back of a napkin. What's your what you're
writing song?

Speaker 10 (23:55):
Little bit of both, I think, uh, yeah.

Speaker 14 (23:57):
We uh like I'll write stuff, come up with lyrics
all the time, almost spend a lot of time on
the road. So I have done exactly that, just literally
kind of yeah, he'd come back, but I'll have a time.

Speaker 12 (24:07):
I've got to from point A to point B. Have
done written song.

Speaker 10 (24:11):
Keitha Keisa extremely prolific. Uh, lyric writer man and writer period. Uh.
The next three songs that we're working on for the
for volume two are all his lyrics are on his songs.

Speaker 14 (24:21):
And but you know, for instance, you know, Johnny and
I sit down sometimes I'll say, hey, let's take this
this practice session and see if we got right, got
if we got and he goes, I got this. Uh,
I was coming up with this, and he had this
guitar thing, and I said, I got something for it.

Speaker 12 (24:39):
I think this will go with that. And next thing,
you know, here it comes.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
And this happens with bands more than you will think,
because I've done a lot of you know, reading about
you know, watching biographies and reading biographies and whatever, and
that is that is a frequent thing. It's like somebody
will come in with some lyrics and go, look, I've
been working on this guitar riff, but I didn't know
where to put it exactly. Uh, and that's what we're
gonna do.

Speaker 10 (24:59):
The thing about this new record, Like I said, with
the first record, it was pretty much, you know, I'd
done most of it and Merry Travis had done most
of it, and then uh, you know, just but this
this record is much more, much more collaborative effort. We're
all we're all involved in the songwriting. We're all involved
in arranging. And that's when Terry, Terry and Anders are

(25:21):
extremely good at arrangements and and you know, putting stuff in,
taking stuff out. Yeah, you know, great ideas, great ideas.
I mean, they really keep this. They made these songs
come alive.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
So talk about you guys individually as far as like
when you first realize music is what I want to do,
your guests start. I mean, just because I'm going to
presume you started when when you're really young or what
I was about.

Speaker 10 (25:43):
Guess about thirteen when I started, and uh, at.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
The time that you would have been discovering girls pretty much.

Speaker 10 (25:49):
Yeah, generally say that wasn't a driving force, you know,
I'm sure it. It definitely had a had a hand
in it. But man, for me, it was a kiss's three.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
I was gonna say, we have your text here. Somebody
want to know about your influence.

Speaker 10 (26:03):
My very first influences, uh was was Ace Freely. I mean,
I mean you the Kiss a live record. Anybody who's
starting to play guitar or want to play music, I
challenge you to look at that album cover and not
want to play music. It just looks so cool, it
looks so awesome. And he was my first hero, in
which we recently lost him, which was a huge bluff.
But yeah, and then after that it went on to uh,

(26:24):
you know more uh Randy Rhodes, uh from Oi Osborne
and then into southern rock like Ricky Medlock and uh
Steve Gaines and and stuff like that. And vocally I'm
more long like Greg Allman, Warren Haynes and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
So what about you, guys.

Speaker 13 (26:44):
I started beating on pots and paint when I was
a kid, and.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Then somebody and then somebody, somebody, smam, you're gonna have
to get your son out of the show kitchen.

Speaker 13 (26:56):
Okay, what's funny the amount he mentions kiss right, Well,
I remember the first concert I went to was Kissed.
I was in the third grade, my brother was in
kindergarten and Mom took us to Huntington for it was
the Dynasty tour and Judas Priest opened up and I
remember it like it happened yesterday. Yeah, so yeah, Mama

(27:19):
is to blame for this. And uh, just like you
know Bonham, I'm a big Zeppelin fan. John Bonham was
a god Neil Perk. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
You know.

Speaker 13 (27:31):
I wouldn't try I play caveman drums.

Speaker 10 (27:34):
I beat.

Speaker 13 (27:35):
I beat the drums like they owe me monk. Yeah,
that's the best way that I can.

Speaker 14 (27:41):
What about you, I'm very much like Johnny I remember
of being I was about I'd always had a little
guitur and stuff the time I was really little, and uh,
but the time I said, about twelve thirteen years old,
I was, you know, really started buying, you know, started
getting music, old Columbia house, you know, getting you know,
signing up.

Speaker 13 (27:57):
By the way.

Speaker 14 (27:59):
Yeah, yeah for that, you probably do. It's probably still
looking for me. But again, it was Ace Rayley and kiss.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
It was a huge.

Speaker 12 (28:07):
Influence for me wanting to get started.

Speaker 14 (28:09):
And then I just I love the lot of that
southern rock and classic rock.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
And you're speaking my language now, you know. I mean,
I I don't know what what age that I discovered
Leonard Skinnered, but it I mean, it sounds like it's
hyperbolic to say it changed my life, but it changed
my life. I never get tired, I'll never get day.
The worst. In my opinion, the worst Leonard Skinnered song

(28:34):
is better than ninety five percent. There there's no bad
I mean, in my opinion, yes, much like better than others.

Speaker 9 (28:39):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (28:40):
And of course people, I mean people kind of want
to bag on the newer Leonard Skinner, but it is
really really good music.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
I agree, really. I mean, it's not going to be
Ronnie van zandt nobody is.

Speaker 10 (28:51):
But if you go, get no closer than Johnny.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
And when they put when they added Ricky Medlock, I
mean to the band, I just watched it. I have
a concert, uh that I recorded up somewhere, and every
so often, you know, it's just like I just hit
play and I just want to just want to watch
that again.

Speaker 10 (29:06):
Man and Ricky Medlocke is. I mean he's royalty Southern relations.
Absolutely no, He's like he's like seasoned salt, yet didn't anything.
It makes it better.

Speaker 14 (29:15):
Yeah, going to concerts. Charleston used to get so many
concerts back in the day you could go. I mean
they were every month. Seemed like somebody who want or
more rock concerts, good rock, And.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Hopefully that's coming back. I mean it is, but but
we don't want to. You know, everybody wants the big
artists and and I get that, but but there's something
to be said for the local music here, no matter
what the genre. And they all started, yeah, they all started. Definitely,
Let's roll another track here. This one's called Ain't going
out that way?

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Those are.

Speaker 11 (29:50):

be honest.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Well, yeah, this is Tony the Taylor.

Speaker 10 (34:22):

but we bought him a cricket bat in honor of
Peter Grant. So he's our Peter Grant.

Let's bringing the Voice of the Thundering heard Steve Cotton.
Good morning, sir, How are you doing well?

Speaker 3 (38:55):
Dave? How about you?

Speaker 2 (38:56):
I am doing fine. Thank you for taking time out
of your schedule to be here today. And by the way,
I want to start with this. The general theme of
the show today, Steve is you know, we do our
adopt Me Please Pet of the Week, and we're trying
to get a pig adopted. I think Steve Cotton needs
to adopt this pig.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
The problem there, Dave, is my travel schedule.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
We'll take the pig with you.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
I've gone so much I would spend all my time
trying to find somebody to come take care of the pig.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Just take it with you.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
Maybe on the bus trips we could get away with that,
but the flights might be an issue.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
It's a service pig. Everybody's got a service animal these days,
are gonna have a service pig. All right, Well, we'll
talk about that a little bit later. I want to
get serious here for a moment. Today is a somber day,
of course, and heard nation fifty five years ago that
the plane went down the Fountain ceremony coming up later today,
and Steve is someone who has been around Marshall for
some time. You get the importance of this, sir, talk

(39:52):
about it certainly.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
And even though I did not arrive at Marshall in
Huntington until Bill nearly a quarter century after that. One
of the first people, a few of the first people
I met were family members of those who were on
the plane. So even though I sort of knew the
story before that, and this was before the We Are

(40:15):
Marshall movie and the Ashes to Glory documentary, so now
people know more far and way, far, far and wide
the gist of the story. But I knew that it
had happened. But as soon as you meet Keith Morehouse
and on and on, it really hits home. And now,

(40:35):
thirty three years later, for me, every year I still
learned something new, somebody whose story connects them in some way.
Recently talked to one of the Crito Canova firefighters who
was the second one on the scene and heard that
story for the first time. So it is intertwined not

(40:59):
only with Marshall, but with the Tri State area and
so many people. And it is the day now where
it really comes to the forefront in everybody's mind.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
And the new one to mention that the keynote speaker
for the Fountain ceremony today is a lady whose father
was killed in the crash, and she's going to be
the first guy well, she's gonna be on talk I'm
not really sure the positioning, but she'll be on talk
line with Wilson and Meadows coming up later today. And
you know, Steve and I talked about this somebody recently.
One of the things I really, I really love is
the university goes out of its way to make sure

(41:33):
that every newcomer there, whether it's a player coming in,
whether it's a coach, new ad Jerald Harrison to Talk
We interviewed him last week on Metro News Midday. They
make sure that everybody that comes on campus knows that story.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Yeah, it's critically important to get an understanding, to know
exactly how to go into the situation. And this year,
more than seventy new players, Dave nearly an entirely new
coach staff, and so they're all going through it for
the first time. And then this is unusual. Typically we've

(42:06):
been able to work it out with the conference and
so on, where we play a home game on the
date closest to the crash. It is extended this year
because tomorrow's game is at Georgia State. Last Saturday was
the home game closest to the date, and so that
was what we now call the memorial game or the

(42:27):
seventy five game where Marshall players wore black head to
toe and you have almost like a memorial service right
before kickoff, and that's emotional in and of itself. And
now a week later you're going through more emotions. So
that's a lot for the people who've never been through
this before.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Talking to Steve Cotton, the voice of the Thundering Hervey
Dave Allen Show on five eighty Live is brought to
you apart by Pinnacle Consultants Pour Indoor air Quality because
a variety of health issues allergies, respiratory problems and more.
Pinnacle offer specialized indoor air quality services for residential, commercial
and industrial type settings. Visipinnacle court dot net. Because what
you don't know can't hurt you. And I will mention
too that this is what I understand. I was talking

(43:08):
to some folks in Marshall a little bit earlier this morning.
So they're going to do the ceremony today, players I
guess are going to be there, but then they got
to hop a plane for Georgia, right.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
Yeah, it is straight from the In fact, they're taking
the buses, taking the team and parking the buses right
outside the student center, so that as soon as the
ceremony ends, they can jump on the bus head to
the Huntington Tri State Airport. And yeah, there's a football
game at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Marshall at Georgia State.
That in and of itself carries a lot of importance.

(43:40):
It's not yet do or die for the Thundering Herd,
but this team really really wants to extend the season.

Speaker 10 (43:48):
To a bowl game.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
And at four and five right now, you're down to
three games. You have to win two of them to
get the bowl eligibility.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
All right, Hey, Steve, I appreciate you jumping in here
and talking about the memorial service, and I believe it
is live streamed, so if people can't make it to Huntington,
they can they can check it out on the live stream. Guys,
have a good broadcast tomorrow. We'll talk soon, buddy. Thanks
a lot.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Thanks, They've have a good one you as well.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Steve Cotton, the voice of the Marrish University Thundering Herd.
And I can tell you as somebody who's attended a
few of those Fountain ceremonies, I mean it's very, very
touching and I do think it's interesting. And we talked
about that with the Dave Wilson yesterday who wrote a
commentary about it. He's a son of Marshall as well.
And it seemed like that the remembrance there for a

(44:33):
few years had started to kind of wane a little
bit for one reason or another. I was a student there.
I hit my first year. There would have been nineteen
ninety on campus, and it didn't I'm not to say
it didn't seem like it was a big deal, but
it seems like it's gotten bigger over the years. And
I think that's a good thing because so often with commemorations,
I mean, you think about historical things that have happened,
and don't think I'm not putting this on the same

(44:55):
level as a nine to eleven or a Pearl Harbor.
I'm just saying things in live that are historical in nature.
With generations, it starts to fade a little bit. That's
just natural. But I think with this whole thing that
they do at Marshall, with the Fountain ceremony and bringing
back family members and you know of people that were
killed and others, that it's it's just gotten bigger. It's

(45:18):
gotten bigger every year. It is a nine to fifty
