Mexican Festival soap. Okay, yes, it's very rare, very expensive.
It doesn't even smell like soap. It smells it smells

then one last one last they've been get it out

So there you well, Dwight. I I these not.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
It's not what I expected when it comes to the
souvenirs from your Cabo.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I'm not a hero, but I know I get rid
so very much.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I know we get ready to say I'm not a hero,
but I did think of you when I was in
Cabo twice, well actually quite a few times. Oh did
you know? Yeah? And here's why we so uh, the
reason we go two or three times a year. We
go for Sammy Hagar's birthday, and then we always go
for our anniversary, which was last week and uh, as
(03:27):
luck would have it. When we always celebrate at a
restaurant down there called Meliano's. That's where we go for
our anniversary. Well, there's another couple from from Buffalo, New York,
and a few years back they know it was our
anniversary and they came over while we were having our
champagne and our romantic dinner and they said, hey, we
can't help, but notice this your anniversary. It's our anniversary too.
(03:51):
That I started talking to this, I said, hey, lady,
I'm trying to have time with them all. Wife, can
you can you get the hell away from our table?
But later we saw him and we apologize and we've
been friends since. Kara and John from Buffalo, New York. Okay, okay,
you're a Buffalo Bills fan.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
So I'm a Buffalo Bills fan by association, because of
the because of the wife, and because of someone else
in my family. We went up to see my stepbrother
who also lives in Buffalo, New York. A few years
back we saw a Bills game at one of like
the famous Buffalo Bill's bars.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And my wife had always she's never really she loves football,
but she never really had a team and so from
that moment on, she decided she was going to be
a Bills fan, and I had attack along and be
a Bills fan with her. Because I didn't really have
an NFL team. I always root for the IU alums,
the teams that they played on that sort of thing.
I still do that, but now you know by association,
I cheer for the Bills.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Okay, I'm glad you said.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Ay.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
You will get to that in a second, because anyway,
let's get back to Buffalo. So two or three years ago,
I guess two years ago, John and Kara, the Buffalo couple,
gifted Susan I Buffalo gear. I got a beautiful Josh
Allen jersey and she had a Buffalo Bill's Mafia shirt.
(05:08):
So the Bills played the Bengals, and they said, hey,
we're going to watch the game, so we brought our gear.
I lifted my non NFL band, first time in ten years.
I watched one quarter of football. Really, So this past weekend,
well I didn't so much watch as they watched the
(05:28):
night Wings. But that was a snowy game too. You
saw something pretty crazy. It was pretty cool because you know,
we were there was a bar called the Cabo CANTEENA
and it's it's all American sports bar and it has
every NFL flag represented a major League baseball It's really
great plays. You love this joint. And the Buffalo Wings
(05:49):
were terrific. Man, So we sat there, had the Keila
Buffalo Wings. And then I went back and I hit
the beat. So that was one time I was wearing
my gear. So I thought, God, I send a picture
to John all uh. And then the second time I'm
at the pool and some lady came up and she
starts hitting on me, like you know, that's every time
I'm there, I gotta fight hit them off with a switch,
(06:12):
you know what I mean. I mean the women there
just love me. They flock to you. Yeah, they flock
to me as a matter of fact. Well I won't
tell you what they call me because uh, I don't
want another meeting. But anyway, so I start talking and
come to find out if this woman is from Ohio, Columbus,
Ohio and her son lives in louisvill Kentucky. And then
they're big Ohio State fans. Oh no, And then they
(06:34):
start talking about hey, Ohio State, it's gotta really run
over IU and joking about IU and yeah, that didn't happen.
And so I'm sitting there and I said, wait, wait
a minute. I'm not a really big sports ball fan,
but is it Uh, isn't IU still undefeated as well? Yeah,
but we're Ohio State and on and on and on
and on and on. Oh the Ohio State, Gary, the
(06:56):
whole bit. And the very next day I wake up
and I said, Honey, because Susan follows every sporting event
there is, I said, Honey, who won the game last night?
She said, oh, I you did? I think it was
my three? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I was thirteen to ten.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh, John add and that had to be some for you, man.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Oh my gosh, it was. It was something to just
take it all in. It was a late game too,
was eight o'clock kick and in the a round eleven,
eleven thirty, whatever it may be. But just seeing it
all play out and then having the moment where you
realize that they're actually going to win a Big Ten
championship for the first time since nineteen sixty seven. I mean,
that's multiple generations of people that have never seen Indiana
(07:39):
be this good at the sport of football. So wow,
it's fun. I called my grandpa who had he's in
his seventies. He saw him play in that nineteen sixty
seven Rose Bowl. He was excited. He couldn't believe it,
just as much as anyone else. And so I it
was a very fun moment to get to experience.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah. And then the next morning, Susan and I we
always get up in the morning, we got like a
routine with a sona cop plunge, all this business, and
then we go for a walk into town. So he's
walking into town. She mentioned to me, this coach has
turned this program around in two years. The city y'all
were like a cellar dwellers and two years ago, right doing.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I mean forever, I mean that.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Indiana, for literally almost their entire existence, has been the
losingest program in college football. They've had a few decent
seasons every now and again, but nothing like they've done
the last two seasons. The last two seasons they're probably
their two best seasons in history. They were eleven to
one last year, went to the twelve team playoff for
the first time, and then this year they're the only
(08:38):
undefeated team left, the number one seed in the playoff
and primed to make a run at potentially a national championship.
So it's it's really exciting.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
That good stuff. Yeah, it's good to be back and
not excited about the weather. It usually rains, just so
you know, in Caablos, s and Lucas it rains an
average of sixteen days a year. I think Susan and
I have fourteen of those covered.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Are you serious it rained that much on your trip.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Well, we were there in October it rained five out
of the seven days. That was a hurricane, and then
a tropical storm came in after that, and then this
week we had three rainy days and then.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Right before you all left. We don't have to talk
about your experience on the tarmac.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Good lord.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
We had the first really big snow of the season.
But now we've got another one coming in tomorrow night
or overnight going into tomorrow where we could get another
four inches. Yeah, it's just in time for you, mister Whitton.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, Seeman Johnny, And when he gets on the news,
I'm sure he'll let us know what's going on with that,
and I'm sure we'll have the roads getting Brian brought
a little bit of Mexico back with me today on
the show. Lonnie Jordan from the band War, the founding
member of War, lead singer of War. He's going to
join us a little bit later. Also commed to Alex
(09:53):
Ruymando and Felippe Esparza. He's going to be in the studio.
Lots to get to I'd have fun to be had today,
but right now Thursday, guys, let me ask you a question.
How do you feel around one or two in the afternoon,
take a dip in energy? Huh? What about on the weekends?
Are you getting things done, hanging out with the family,
(10:14):

I used to be tired, lethargic all of the time
on the weekends. All I wanted to do was sleep.
Wasn't fair to my wife and I hated it. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
We were drowning without you, mister Whitten.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Hey reason we had some Fleetwood Mac. Not to mention
that's my favorite Fleetwood Mac song, but my favorite Fleetwood
Map contribute band front person Kimm and Catwell and Louisville
legend in the studio. How you doing, Kim, It's Chris.
I am well terrific. Are you a vampire because you
never age? You always act as young? Thank you? Yes,
(12:17):

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Being in my late twenties, I'm starting.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
To feel it a little better.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I am a vampire and I'm in the club, and
there are dues that you pay and whatever, but it's
worth it to me.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
So if you ask me, I want to talk about
your musical career here and on the road as well.
But first I want to find out God rest his soul.
Dear friend of mine, a great friend of yours, Doug Florio,
God love him. How did you two end up from
(12:50):
New York to Louisville, Kentucky. I know, I know, in
an Oldsmobile, Yeah, but seriously, how does Louisville, Kentucky get
on your radar in New York? I know in the
nineties the music scene was really big here and people
were getting signed out of Louisville for you know, how
does that get on your radar.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So I'll try to make a long story short. I've
known Doug. We're from the same same place in New York.
I've known him since some you know, young teenager, and
I hadn't seen him in he used to book my
first bands when you know, when he was playing. I
hadn't seen him in a couple of years, and I
ran into him at a place one night and he said, Hey,
I'm moving to Louisville, Kentucky. I said, what what? There
was a couple of other musicians called Another Color that
(13:31):
had moved.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yes, right right right.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
From there, our same place. They've been friendsis Yoh yeah, wow,
So I said, Louislle like in Kentucky, right, Kentucky. You
know cows. That's what honestly, you know, I'm sorry to say,
but that that's what I thought of the time I said,
you're crazy. Is no.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I've been there.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I've visited and it's wonderful. The people are so nice,
the club owners are nice. There's so many places to
play music. They've got a band in the laundromat, he said,
he said, I want to live there. It's just that
the musicians are nice to each other. As opposed to
kind of how it was very competitive where we're from
and not quite as nice. He said, why don't you
do some gigs with me while I save money to go?
(14:07):
And I was like, you know what, Yeah, let's let's
do that. And we started playing together and we were
like instantly really had a kind of an amazing chemistry
and we're and we're very good together. And after a
few months he said, well, come visits. I visited Louisville
and I was like, you know what, I'm I'm going
to move there too. I'm not married, have kids, I
have some money saved. I kind of hate the day
(14:27):
job that I'm doing, although I was making a nice
money at it for a young age.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
What was it.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I was running a chimney company and running shifts of
telemarketers and dispatching work is a very very strange thing
to get into, but into it and wound up being
kind of lucrative anyway. So yeah, we moved here and
without I didn't have any plan. Let me do this
for a while while I kind of figure out what
I want to do, and here I am. So yeah,
(14:55):
we we hit it and really never got real jobs
able to make a living as musicians, and then we
joined a national band. We were on the road with
that for a year.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, with the Days of the News.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Right right, I was playing keys and samples and singing
back up for Days of the New and obviously playing guitar.
Nicole Scherzinger was in the band the time as well.
And then yeah, after that, we you know, just able
to be musicians and I love it here.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Okay, So I want to talk about we played Fleetwood
Mac on the way in for a reason because one
of the many projects you're in is Back to Mac.
It's it's the premiere. It is the premiere Fleetwood Mac
tribute band. You uh, you guys played nationwide constantly on tour,
But do you have any All of you are from
(15:44):
the musicians are from different states. Yeah, so I don't understand.
I mean, how do you rehearse what? So? Where are
how many different states are in this band? And do
you all just leave from your own state and you
arrive at the gig? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
We meet. So what's funny is Ray Rizzo, our drummer,
originally from here but has been in Brooklyn for many
many year. Yeah, so raised in Brooklyn. James and Lauren
that's our Christy McVie and our Lindsay Buckingham. They are
in Nashville Bob's and Louisville. Tim Halcom is in Indiana. Yeah,
so we you know, meet at the first gig, sometimes
in different vehicles. Whatever is logistically, you know, pragmatic at
(16:18):
the time. And yeah, so if we need to rehearse,
we'll get together in a city a day early, okay,
or sometimes reserve with whatever venue that we're going to
be there a few hours early. And like during sound check, workout.
We've got to work out, but we make it happen.
Logistics are difficult with this band. We travel a whole
lot and there's a lot of moving parts right then
(16:38):
mistakes are made. But you're like, oh my god, it's
that time zone. Sorry, okay, okay, I don't have Google.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yah, it's back to Mac playing anywhere because listen, please
don't take offense in this. But even on the beach, well,
who's not. I told my wife we were on the beach,
I said, I totally you're doing the show. And I said, man,
back to Mac. I never was a Fleetwood macfan at all.
I liked never go back again. I love secondhand news
(17:09):
there's a handful that I really love, but it was never,
you know, really into Fleetwood Mac. Here's what I will say.
I went and saw back to Mac a few years
back because of you and of course Bob and a
few others, and I had the time of my life
and I loved every single There's something different about seeing
music perform live, and you all do it so well.
(17:31):
It really does seem like Fleetwood Mac. Are you all
playing anywhere here soon near or playing?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
This will be our last show in the area until July.
We're playing tomorrow night at our Lady of Perpetual Hops
in New Albany. I think seven point thirty is the showtime.
And well, thank you for saying that about the band.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Absolutely, I wasn't a huge Fleetwood Mac fan. Yeah, not
that I wasn't always liked. I like Fleetwood Mac as
much as the next guy. Before we started, and we started,
this thing was only supposed to be for one night.
It wasn't really Yeah, it wasn't a plan. It wasn't
like we're gonna start this thing. We're gonna be the Tribune.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Okay, let me stop. You're right there, and yeah, Chase
the scrore. It just for a second. You say, originally
you go do this Fleetwood Mac tribute for one night only.
That's a lot. It's one thing to say, hey, we're
gonna go out and do a Judas pre show or something.
Fleetwood Mac is quite complicated. There's there's a lot of
stuff to there. There is, and that's a lot of
musicians and getting musicians to rehearse properties like it's like
(18:33):
wrangling cats. There is. So you were going to do
all that work for one.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
One night two shows. It was a special event at
the Rudyard Kipling. I think it was like during the
Saint James Art Fair, okay, And what we were doing
that night, pardon me, was the Rumors album in order
front to back and maybe with like one extra song
or something. Yeah, And that's how it got started. But
it was it was just it was good and you know,
kind of the phone started to ring. And we've been
playing for years and mostly in the past, but five
(18:57):
years we've really kind of amped it up. I amed
up the production and working with an agency. Now we're
still booking ourselves from any things, but also some of
the bigger things. We're with a company called Love Productions
and doing black bigger venues, Atlantic City, and we were
in North Dakota, big casinos, things like that. We play
(19:19):
all kinds of different venues, small theaters, rock clubs, all
these different types of shows. So yeah, I did not
dream that we would still be doing this. And of
course I guess my point was, once you get into
Once we get into the music, Like I said, I
wasn't a huge fan. Once you have to delve very
deeply into it to learn the parts and learn all
the things, get a much greater respect for it and
like a much bigger love for it. We don't think
(19:41):
we're Fleetwood Mac or anything, but we do try to
stay pretty true to the songs. We're pretty meticulous with detail,
and we don't go off a whole way, a whole
bunch or we stay pretty true to the melodies and stuff.
And if we do go off musically, we sort of
do it in the style that Fleetwood Mac would, if
that makes any sense.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I got to tell you you all, look the part,
you say on the part, you play the part, and
I'll see it so many different sized venues. I'll see
you guys, these gigantic venues. It makes me so proud,
That makes me want to talk about this as well.
You've been a Louisville You've been a musician in Louisville.
I want to say what, let's not talk about math,
(20:19):
but don't care for numbers quite. It's been a while.
It's been a while. So but my point is you're
a Louisville musical icon. We have many we have many here.
But one of the responsibilities that you and Eric and
Bob and several other musicians have taken on is playing
(20:42):
Derby Eve at the Barnstable Brown Party. Now, number one,
you're playing in a very select wealthy audience. But number two,
you're also the backing band for kid Rock Travis.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Tritt, Sammy Hagar.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Sammy Hagar showed up. Yeah, you and you sent me
your picture with you and him, which you know, I
photo shopped you out and put me in on that picture. No,
but seriously, so all all of these A list musicians
come and they attend the barn Stable Brown Party. God
bless the barn Stable Brown Party for all of the
money they donate. But that's got to be tremendous pressure
(21:22):
or or not, is it it is? Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
There's a lot of And by the way, Bob Ramsey
has been the musical director of that for I Love
five years or something, so he's got, you know, amazing stories.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Can I say one thing I do? I love watching
Bob play with his organ. Everybody does, everybody does. It's
just simply amazing. But go ahead about Bob.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Yeah, he's been the musical director of the Barnstable Brown
Party for many, many years. I've been I want to
say like maybe eight years, maybe nine minus a year
for COVID or something. But yeah, it is a lot
of pressure. A lot of times we don't get to
find out who we are back backing until just a
few days before, so it's kind of a scramble whoa
are you serious? Not always, but often that list is
(22:07):
kept under wraps and I think there's maybe some last
minute negotiating. Yeah you know, so you know it'll be
you know, two days before and it's like, learn these
backing parts for Smokey Robinson or for you know, many
many big, huge names.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
So do the artist do they? I mean they've got
to compliment the band knowing what's going on.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Some of them are really really wonderful with that. Some
of them are not.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I gotta think Travis s Tritt does a pretty good
job with.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
You guys, and he's a very very sweet he seems.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Very seems very genuine. I want to get back to
Back to Mac because that seems to be probably one
of the most successful projects because you guys too are
the nation. It is.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Yeah, it is the major thing.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
And what happens is you all play play some britt,
you play some big theaters. It's a big rooms with this,
quite different from playing a bar, and you go, Okay,
there's the stage, here's a booth for you. When you're
one of these new venues. You know, every rock band
goes back to Spinal Tap and they think it's funny
because they say it's true to life. The things in
(23:18):
there actually happen on their tours. One of the things
is getting lost backstage. Is that a thing because you
go to a new theater and you're in new theaters
every different month? Is that a thing to lose your
your ways?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
If it's a thing for everybody, but it is absolutely
a thing with me?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Is it a thing?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Really?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Say it? But anybody closes with me, will it will
definitely let you know that. You know, sometimes there's there's caverns,
there's halways, they all look the same. I don't I
need to leave it to have popcorn or something or
fairy dust, you know. But yes, there, I've been done.
We start the show a lot of times with the
chain and I don't I come out after the song begins.
Come make it like a kind of a dramatic entrant.
(23:58):
Still raise do the bass drum begining the song. So
there was a time a few months ago, I'm waiting
to make my entrance. The whole band's on stage. James
starts the guitar part, and I go to step out
and make my entrance. This door is not opening. I'm
at the wrong door.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You here at the broom closet.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I'm I can hear the mixtending, Oh my god. So
I start banging. Nobody's there, so I run down. I'm
running bond state, going back behind, finding other doors, get
out there and.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Try to see my part.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
After I've run to find the stage door. And that's
that's one of several times I've had to call Lauren
form backstage. I'm not really sure where I am. Can
you come? Yeah, So that's that's kind of particular to me.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Not proud. Well, listen, I'm off a proud of you.
I wanted you on. I wanted to talk about Uh listen,
we're just scratching the surface. And here's another thing before
I let you go. The musical sitting here in Louis
of Kentucky. It's it's like none other that I've never
seen in the community. Whenever one of you are down,
everybody steps up. There's so many bands that want to
(25:03):
contribute to whatever fundraiser there is, and I will say
that you've been a staple what every single one of them,
And for that, I say God, bless you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I have While we're on that topic, I always want
to express my appreciation when Doug was going through so
much and so ill like people in this community, I
can't believe the kindness and generosity shown to us and
will be grateful for that forever. So of course, before
that and after that, I try to do everything, and
if I can't make it to the show, I certainly
(25:33):
will send some money.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
When's the next I've forgotten already, When when's the next? Bat?
You're just I'm in a cobo? Heyes, When is the next?

privacy fence. Now you're thinking I can't afford a hot tub,

That's Mexican Festival soap.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Mexican Festival soap. Okay, yes, it's very rare, very expensive.
It doesn't even smell like soap. It smells it smells

Speaker 2 (02:56):
It's not what I expected when it comes to the
souvenirs from your Cabo.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I'm not a hero, but I know I get rid
so very much.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I know we get ready to say I'm not a hero,
but I did think of you when I was in
Cabo twice, well actually quite a few times. Oh did
you know? Yeah? And here's why we so uh, the
reason we go two or three times a year. We
go for Sammy Hagar's birthday, and then we always go
for our anniversary, which was last week and uh, as
(03:27):
luck would have it. When we always celebrate at a
restaurant down there called Meliano's. That's where we go for
our anniversary. Well, there's another couple from from Buffalo, New York,
and a few years back they know it was our
anniversary and they came over while we were having our
champagne and our romantic dinner and they said, hey, we
can't help, but notice this your anniversary. It's our anniversary too.
(03:51):
That I started talking to this, I said, hey, lady,
I'm trying to have time with them all. Wife, can
you can you get the hell away from our table?
But later we saw him and we apologize and we've
been friends since. Kara and John from Buffalo, New York. Okay, okay,
you're a Buffalo Bills fan.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
So I'm a Buffalo Bills fan by association, because of
the because of the wife, and because of someone else
in my family. We went up to see my stepbrother
who also lives in Buffalo, New York. A few years
back we saw a Bills game at one of like
the famous Buffalo Bill's bars.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And my wife had always she's never really she loves football,
but she never really had a team and so from
that moment on, she decided she was going to be
a Bills fan, and I had attack along and be
a Bills fan with her. Because I didn't really have
an NFL team. I always root for the IU alums,
the teams that they played on that sort of thing.
I still do that, but now you know by association,
I cheer for the Bills.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Okay, I'm glad you said.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Ay.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
You will get to that in a second, because anyway,
let's get back to Buffalo. So two or three years ago,
I guess two years ago, John and Kara, the Buffalo couple,
gifted Susan I Buffalo gear. I got a beautiful Josh
Allen jersey and she had a Buffalo Bill's Mafia shirt.
(05:08):
So the Bills played the Bengals, and they said, hey,
we're going to watch the game, so we brought our gear.
I lifted my non NFL band, first time in ten years.
I watched one quarter of football. Really, So this past weekend,
well I didn't so much watch as they watched the
(05:28):
night Wings. But that was a snowy game too. You
saw something pretty crazy. It was pretty cool because you know,
we were there was a bar called the Cabo CANTEENA
and it's it's all American sports bar and it has
every NFL flag represented a major League baseball It's really
great plays. You love this joint. And the Buffalo Wings
(05:49):
were terrific. Man, So we sat there, had the Keila
Buffalo Wings. And then I went back and I hit
the beat. So that was one time I was wearing
my gear. So I thought, God, I send a picture
to John all uh. And then the second time I'm
at the pool and some lady came up and she
starts hitting on me, like you know, that's every time
I'm there, I gotta fight hit them off with a switch,
(06:12):
you know what I mean. I mean the women there
just love me. They flock to you. Yeah, they flock
to me as a matter of fact. Well I won't
tell you what they call me because uh, I don't
want another meeting. But anyway, so I start talking and
come to find out if this woman is from Ohio, Columbus,
Ohio and her son lives in louisvill Kentucky. And then
they're big Ohio State fans. Oh no, And then they
(06:34):
start talking about hey, Ohio State, it's gotta really run
over IU and joking about IU and yeah, that didn't happen.
And so I'm sitting there and I said, wait, wait
a minute. I'm not a really big sports ball fan,
but is it Uh, isn't IU still undefeated as well? Yeah,
but we're Ohio State and on and on and on
and on and on. Oh the Ohio State, Gary, the
(06:56):
whole bit. And the very next day I wake up
and I said, Honey, because Susan follows every sporting event
there is, I said, Honey, who won the game last night?
She said, oh, I you did? I think it was
my three? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I was thirteen to ten.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh, John add and that had to be some for you, man.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Oh my gosh, it was. It was something to just
take it all in. It was a late game too,
was eight o'clock kick and in the a round eleven,
eleven thirty, whatever it may be. But just seeing it
all play out and then having the moment where you
realize that they're actually going to win a Big Ten
championship for the first time since nineteen sixty seven. I mean,
that's multiple generations of people that have never seen Indiana
(07:39):
be this good at the sport of football. So wow,
it's fun. I called my grandpa who had he's in
his seventies. He saw him play in that nineteen sixty
seven Rose Bowl. He was excited. He couldn't believe it,
just as much as anyone else. And so I it
was a very fun moment to get to experience.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah. And then the next morning, Susan and I we
always get up in the morning, we got like a
routine with a sona cop plunge, all this business, and
then we go for a walk into town. So he's
walking into town. She mentioned to me, this coach has
turned this program around in two years. The city y'all
were like a cellar dwellers and two years ago, right doing.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I mean forever, I mean that.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Indiana, for literally almost their entire existence, has been the
losingest program in college football. They've had a few decent
seasons every now and again, but nothing like they've done
the last two seasons. The last two seasons they're probably
their two best seasons in history. They were eleven to
one last year, went to the twelve team playoff for
the first time, and then this year they're the only
(08:38):
undefeated team left, the number one seed in the playoff
and primed to make a run at potentially a national championship.
So it's it's really exciting.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
That good stuff. Yeah, it's good to be back and
not excited about the weather. It usually rains, just so
you know, in Caablos, s and Lucas it rains an
average of sixteen days a year. I think Susan and
I have fourteen of those covered.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Are you serious it rained that much on your trip.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Well, we were there in October it rained five out
of the seven days. That was a hurricane, and then
a tropical storm came in after that, and then this
week we had three rainy days and then.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Right before you all left. We don't have to talk
about your experience on the tarmac.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Good lord.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
We had the first really big snow of the season.
But now we've got another one coming in tomorrow night
or overnight going into tomorrow where we could get another
four inches. Yeah, it's just in time for you, mister Whitton.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, Seeman Johnny, And when he gets on the news,
I'm sure he'll let us know what's going on with that,
and I'm sure we'll have the roads getting Brian brought
a little bit of Mexico back with me today on
the show. Lonnie Jordan from the band War, the founding
member of War, lead singer of War. He's going to
join us a little bit later. Also commed to Alex
(09:53):
Ruymando and Felippe Esparza. He's going to be in the studio.
Lots to get to I'd have fun to be had today,
but right now Thursday, guys, let me ask you a question.
How do you feel around one or two in the afternoon,
take a dip in energy? Huh? What about on the weekends?
Are you getting things done, hanging out with the family,
(10:14):

I used to be tired, lethargic all of the time
on the weekends. All I wanted to do was sleep.
Wasn't fair to my wife and I hated it. Thank you.

Or does this guy just not never work? Never? Never?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
We were drowning without you, mister Whitten.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Hey reason we had some Fleetwood Mac. Not to mention
that's my favorite Fleetwood Mac song, but my favorite Fleetwood
Map contribute band front person Kimm and Catwell and Louisville
legend in the studio. How you doing, Kim, It's Chris.
I am well terrific. Are you a vampire because you
never age? You always act as young? Thank you? Yes,
(12:17):

Speaker 2 (12:20):
To feel it a little better.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I am a vampire and I'm in the club, and
there are dues that you pay and whatever, but it's
worth it to me.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
So if you ask me, I want to talk about
your musical career here and on the road as well.
But first I want to find out God rest his soul.
Dear friend of mine, a great friend of yours, Doug Florio,
God love him. How did you two end up from
(12:50):
New York to Louisville, Kentucky. I know, I know, in
an Oldsmobile, Yeah, but seriously, how does Louisville, Kentucky get
on your radar in New York? I know in the
nineties the music scene was really big here and people
were getting signed out of Louisville for you know, how
does that get on your radar.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So I'll try to make a long story short. I've
known Doug. We're from the same same place in New York.
I've known him since some you know, young teenager, and
I hadn't seen him in he used to book my
first bands when you know, when he was playing. I
hadn't seen him in a couple of years, and I
ran into him at a place one night and he said, Hey,
I'm moving to Louisville, Kentucky. I said, what what? There
was a couple of other musicians called Another Color that
(13:31):
had moved.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yes, right right right.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
From there, our same place. They've been friendsis Yoh yeah, wow,
So I said, Louislle like in Kentucky, right, Kentucky. You
know cows. That's what honestly, you know, I'm sorry to say,
but that that's what I thought of the time I said,
you're crazy. Is no.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I've been there.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I've visited and it's wonderful. The people are so nice,
the club owners are nice. There's so many places to
play music. They've got a band in the laundromat, he said,
he said, I want to live there. It's just that
the musicians are nice to each other. As opposed to
kind of how it was very competitive where we're from
and not quite as nice. He said, why don't you
do some gigs with me while I save money to go?
(14:07):
And I was like, you know what, Yeah, let's let's
do that. And we started playing together and we were
like instantly really had a kind of an amazing chemistry
and we're and we're very good together. And after a
few months he said, well, come visits. I visited Louisville
and I was like, you know what, I'm I'm going
to move there too. I'm not married, have kids, I
have some money saved. I kind of hate the day
(14:27):
job that I'm doing, although I was making a nice
money at it for a young age.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
What was it.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I was running a chimney company and running shifts of
telemarketers and dispatching work is a very very strange thing
to get into, but into it and wound up being
kind of lucrative anyway. So yeah, we moved here and
without I didn't have any plan. Let me do this
for a while while I kind of figure out what
I want to do, and here I am. So yeah,
(14:55):
we we hit it and really never got real jobs
able to make a living as musicians, and then we
joined a national band. We were on the road with
that for a year.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, with the Days of the News.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Right right, I was playing keys and samples and singing
back up for Days of the New and obviously playing guitar.
Nicole Scherzinger was in the band the time as well.
And then yeah, after that, we you know, just able
to be musicians and I love it here.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Okay, So I want to talk about we played Fleetwood
Mac on the way in for a reason because one
of the many projects you're in is Back to Mac.
It's it's the premiere. It is the premiere Fleetwood Mac
tribute band. You uh, you guys played nationwide constantly on tour,
But do you have any All of you are from
(15:44):
the musicians are from different states. Yeah, so I don't understand.
I mean, how do you rehearse what? So? Where are
how many different states are in this band? And do
you all just leave from your own state and you
arrive at the gig? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
We meet. So what's funny is Ray Rizzo, our drummer,
originally from here but has been in Brooklyn for many
many year. Yeah, so raised in Brooklyn. James and Lauren
that's our Christy McVie and our Lindsay Buckingham. They are
in Nashville Bob's and Louisville. Tim Halcom is in Indiana. Yeah,
so we you know, meet at the first gig, sometimes
in different vehicles. Whatever is logistically, you know, pragmatic at
(16:18):
the time. And yeah, so if we need to rehearse,
we'll get together in a city a day early, okay,
or sometimes reserve with whatever venue that we're going to
be there a few hours early. And like during sound check, workout.
We've got to work out, but we make it happen.
Logistics are difficult with this band. We travel a whole
lot and there's a lot of moving parts right then
(16:38):
mistakes are made. But you're like, oh my god, it's
that time zone. Sorry, okay, okay, I don't have Google.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yah, it's back to Mac playing anywhere because listen, please
don't take offense in this. But even on the beach, well,
who's not. I told my wife we were on the beach,
I said, I totally you're doing the show. And I said, man,
back to Mac. I never was a Fleetwood macfan at all.
I liked never go back again. I love secondhand news
(17:09):
there's a handful that I really love, but it was never,
you know, really into Fleetwood Mac. Here's what I will say.
I went and saw back to Mac a few years
back because of you and of course Bob and a
few others, and I had the time of my life
and I loved every single There's something different about seeing
music perform live, and you all do it so well.
(17:31):
It really does seem like Fleetwood Mac. Are you all
playing anywhere here soon near or playing?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
This will be our last show in the area until July.
We're playing tomorrow night at our Lady of Perpetual Hops
in New Albany. I think seven point thirty is the showtime.
And well, thank you for saying that about the band.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Absolutely, I wasn't a huge Fleetwood Mac fan. Yeah, not
that I wasn't always liked. I like Fleetwood Mac as
much as the next guy. Before we started, and we started,
this thing was only supposed to be for one night.
It wasn't really Yeah, it wasn't a plan. It wasn't
like we're gonna start this thing. We're gonna be the Tribune.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Okay, let me stop. You're right there, and yeah, Chase
the scrore. It just for a second. You say, originally
you go do this Fleetwood Mac tribute for one night only.
That's a lot. It's one thing to say, hey, we're
gonna go out and do a Judas pre show or something.
Fleetwood Mac is quite complicated. There's there's a lot of
stuff to there. There is, and that's a lot of
musicians and getting musicians to rehearse properties like it's like
(18:33):
wrangling cats. There is. So you were going to do
all that work for one.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
One night two shows. It was a special event at
the Rudyard Kipling. I think it was like during the
Saint James Art Fair, okay, And what we were doing
that night, pardon me, was the Rumors album in order
front to back and maybe with like one extra song
or something. Yeah, And that's how it got started. But
it was it was just it was good and you know,
kind of the phone started to ring. And we've been
playing for years and mostly in the past, but five
(18:57):
years we've really kind of amped it up. I amed
up the production and working with an agency. Now we're
still booking ourselves from any things, but also some of
the bigger things. We're with a company called Love Productions
and doing black bigger venues, Atlantic City, and we were
in North Dakota, big casinos, things like that. We play
(19:19):
all kinds of different venues, small theaters, rock clubs, all
these different types of shows. So yeah, I did not
dream that we would still be doing this. And of
course I guess my point was, once you get into
Once we get into the music, Like I said, I
wasn't a huge fan. Once you have to delve very
deeply into it to learn the parts and learn all
the things, get a much greater respect for it and
like a much bigger love for it. We don't think
(19:41):
we're Fleetwood Mac or anything, but we do try to
stay pretty true to the songs. We're pretty meticulous with detail,
and we don't go off a whole way, a whole
bunch or we stay pretty true to the melodies and stuff.
And if we do go off musically, we sort of
do it in the style that Fleetwood Mac would, if
that makes any sense.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I got to tell you you all, look the part,
you say on the part, you play the part, and
I'll see it so many different sized venues. I'll see
you guys, these gigantic venues. It makes me so proud,
That makes me want to talk about this as well.
You've been a Louisville You've been a musician in Louisville.
I want to say what, let's not talk about math,
(20:19):
but don't care for numbers quite. It's been a while.
It's been a while. So but my point is you're
a Louisville musical icon. We have many we have many here.
But one of the responsibilities that you and Eric and
Bob and several other musicians have taken on is playing
(20:42):
Derby Eve at the Barnstable Brown Party. Now, number one,
you're playing in a very select wealthy audience. But number two,
you're also the backing band for kid Rock Travis.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Tritt, Sammy Hagar.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Sammy Hagar showed up. Yeah, you and you sent me
your picture with you and him, which you know, I
photo shopped you out and put me in on that picture. No,
but seriously, so all all of these A list musicians
come and they attend the barn Stable Brown Party. God
bless the barn Stable Brown Party for all of the
money they donate. But that's got to be tremendous pressure
(21:22):
or or not, is it it is? Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
There's a lot of And by the way, Bob Ramsey
has been the musical director of that for I Love
five years or something, so he's got, you know, amazing stories.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Can I say one thing I do? I love watching
Bob play with his organ. Everybody does, everybody does. It's
just simply amazing. But go ahead about Bob.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Yeah, he's been the musical director of the Barnstable Brown
Party for many, many years. I've been I want to
say like maybe eight years, maybe nine minus a year
for COVID or something. But yeah, it is a lot
of pressure. A lot of times we don't get to
find out who we are back backing until just a
few days before, so it's kind of a scramble whoa
are you serious? Not always, but often that list is
(22:07):
kept under wraps and I think there's maybe some last
minute negotiating. Yeah you know, so you know it'll be
you know, two days before and it's like, learn these
backing parts for Smokey Robinson or for you know, many
many big, huge names.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
So do the artist do they? I mean they've got
to compliment the band knowing what's going on.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Some of them are really really wonderful with that. Some
of them are not.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I gotta think Travis s Tritt does a pretty good
job with.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
You guys, and he's a very very sweet he seems.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Very seems very genuine. I want to get back to
Back to Mac because that seems to be probably one
of the most successful projects because you guys too are
the nation. It is.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Yeah, it is the major thing.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
And what happens is you all play play some britt,
you play some big theaters. It's a big rooms with this,
quite different from playing a bar, and you go, Okay,
there's the stage, here's a booth for you. When you're
one of these new venues. You know, every rock band
goes back to Spinal Tap and they think it's funny
because they say it's true to life. The things in
(23:18):
there actually happen on their tours. One of the things
is getting lost backstage. Is that a thing because you
go to a new theater and you're in new theaters
every different month? Is that a thing to lose your
your ways?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
If it's a thing for everybody, but it is absolutely
a thing with me?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Is it a thing?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Really?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Say it? But anybody closes with me, will it will
definitely let you know that. You know, sometimes there's there's caverns,
there's halways, they all look the same. I don't I
need to leave it to have popcorn or something or
fairy dust, you know. But yes, there, I've been done.
We start the show a lot of times with the
chain and I don't I come out after the song begins.
Come make it like a kind of a dramatic entrant.
(23:58):
Still raise do the bass drum begining the song. So
there was a time a few months ago, I'm waiting
to make my entrance. The whole band's on stage. James
starts the guitar part, and I go to step out
and make my entrance. This door is not opening. I'm
at the wrong door.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You here at the broom closet.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I'm I can hear the mixtending, Oh my god. So
I start banging. Nobody's there, so I run down. I'm
running bond state, going back behind, finding other doors, get
out there and.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Try to see my part.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
After I've run to find the stage door. And that's
that's one of several times I've had to call Lauren
form backstage. I'm not really sure where I am. Can
you come? Yeah, So that's that's kind of particular to me.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Not proud. Well, listen, I'm off a proud of you.
I wanted you on. I wanted to talk about Uh listen,
we're just scratching the surface. And here's another thing before
I let you go. The musical sitting here in Louis
of Kentucky. It's it's like none other that I've never
seen in the community. Whenever one of you are down,
everybody steps up. There's so many bands that want to
(25:03):
contribute to whatever fundraiser there is, and I will say
that you've been a staple what every single one of them,
And for that, I say God, bless you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I have While we're on that topic, I always want
to express my appreciation when Doug was going through so
much and so ill like people in this community, I
can't believe the kindness and generosity shown to us and
will be grateful for that forever. So of course, before
that and after that, I try to do everything, and
if I can't make it to the show, I certainly
(25:33):
will send some money.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
When's the next I've forgotten already, When when's the next? Bat?
You're just I'm in a cobo? Heyes, When is the next?
Back to Mac's show? Because Susan and I want to go.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Okay, it is tomorrow night, our lady of Perpetual Hops
in New Albany. I believe it's seven thirty and you
can go to back to MacMan dot com to get tickets,
or you can go our Lady of Hops, our lady
of Perpetual forever.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yes, yes can't. I can't. Well, God bless you. I
love you too, my dear. I also love my Southern
comfort hot tub. Hey, folks, what a way to connect
with the one that you love. No phones, no tablets,
no computers, just you and the one that you love
talking about your hopes and dreams, relaxing in your Southern
covered hot tub. Hey, use it naked. It might inspire
(26:20):
your neighbors to build a fence. It did ours a
privacy fence. Now you're thinking I can't afford a hot tub,
Oh contrere bonjour. Yes you can hot tubs as low
as sixty five dollars a month. Can you imagine that?
Susan and I used twelve months, same as cash, and
it made it a breeze. Get your Southern covered hot tub.
This is hot tub weather, baby, Southern covered hot tub
