Man.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
The world is always so negative out there these days.
And of course I don't even watch the news anymore.
But I tell you from somebody who's gone through that
trauma to triumph, his story really has a powerful note
to it, and we're gonna tell you all about it
today on the show Biz. Bigsby joined us here at
the backstage past KYBN ninety eight point one, your area
broadcasting network, the Sports Guys podcast dot com. Biz. How
you doing, brother, I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Doing awesome, Bronn, thank you for having me.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Man another day the.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Hot pun toe. I woke up.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
The rest is up to me, right, rests up to you.
But you feel the ground, and what you do with
is the Lord willing is up to us. What we
do with those days too. Hey, let's talk about this
background connection to music I mentioned at the top. You know,
trauma to triumph and things like that, and the story
really hitting a powerful note. You kind of grew up
around music, but you're also exposed to a very tough
past and things like that. Tell us all about it
and really how music kind of really helped you kind

(01:58):
of come out of this as a better person.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, well, thanks again for having me.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Number one.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I grew up around I think I was probably four
years old when I realized my dad was a pretty
big deal. He was on a show called Night Train,
and I was I think. My grandmother let me stay
up one night and watch him, and she pointed, like,
that's your dad. And I don't remember a lot about
being four years old, but I do remember going that
looks like fun. Yeah, he's jumping around on TV, and

(02:27):
he's got the little girls with the go go dress
as at the backgro I'm like, I want to do that.
That looks like yeah. So I'm still honestly chasing that
from four year four year old kid, that's still me.
So I grew up wanting to be just like him,
and uh, you know, we ended up ended up in
this band. And we opened up for a little Richard,

(02:49):
which was a very very close friend of his, and
my band opened up for James Brown and Arika Franklin
and and and it was it was a really good life.
But on the other hand, uh, I just had a
lot of issues. My mom was was tragically shot in
front of me at four, and I was raised for

(03:09):
my grandmother and great aunts, and she actually didn't live.
She didn't she didn't pass in I just watched it
all unfold in front of me, and I guess the
trauma to this day, I'm still dealing with that too,
But I'm all in all, I been really, really blessed.
So I decided to Eventually I got a motown funk

(03:33):
band that I traveled all over the country playing and
doing corporate weddings, and but I wanted to do my
own music. I always wanted to do that. So this
is where I am.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
There's a song out now that we got a call
here in this time, which is about uh, my love
hate relationship with Nashville. I love my city. I know
it's weird, but it used to be a really small,
nice little city and that's this huge uh and we're
in the middle of it. We've seen to grow.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
I love it and.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
It's difficulty all at the same time. So you know,
if you're an artist, you have to put that in
music and you look up and that's that is that's
a song.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, And they say, you know, visits a ten year
town looking back at it too, and we all know,
like I said, all the stories I hear from all
the great artists we have here on the program, it's
crazy to see how much people, you know, pay their dues.
No matter how great of a songwriter, great of a
singer you are, it takes a lot to get to
the top. And we're seeing that now in this kind
of new wave, this crop of talent that's doing their
thing right now in town. Talk about just that grind,

(04:35):
not just as a musician but as a human being
that you've got to be in that town to kind
of go get it because they coming to you.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
No, and it's a lot of competition. You you I
don't even know what you're doing anymore to stick out
other than just be yourself because it is no formula, right,
so you can't get them to go guy, I want
to do just like Aldan, I want to do just
like this. You have to be who you are. And
and it's amazing the overnight excesses that people talk about.

(05:02):
I've seen them grinding for fifteen twenty years, so it
really isn't overnight, and then there's some. There's some you
will have to pay your dues in the city. You know,
it's it's it will It's funny. We're in the middle
of writing a song there about how it will eat
you up if you if you let it. But that's
life anyway. That's just you know what I mean. You've
got to gotta.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Be grounded man.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Uh, You've got to have roots and you got to
know where y'are because when the.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Wind blows and then will blow in the city in.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Different directions, and you have to stay fast and true
to who you are because if you don't, I think
the worst thing in the world is to become successful
and that's not really.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Who you are. Uh, And then you got to live
that guy.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
For the rest. She's like, where's this?

Speaker 4 (05:44):
I don't really want to be this person, But everybody's easy.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I know you frequent a little bit with Rudy's Jazz
Club too out there too. I'll definitely want to try
to get out there and see a performance next time
we're in town. You'll captivate those audiences. Things like that.
Talk about and I love jazz music and your your music,
guys A little blended everything ended out through too at
the same time, a little bit of country, a little
bit of that jazz sound to it too. But it's storytelling,
is what it's like. And tell me about performing at

(06:08):
Rudi's and kind of frequenting that establishment.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Well, Brandon, I've always thought Rudy's Versus a really really
cool jazz club that's in the Coach right outside of
downtown in Nashville, and I've had a residency there for
going on three years. And one thing I've found out
is that there are only two kinds of music man
good and bad, so in all genres.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Right, so we you know, I just try to make.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Good music, and there's no real genre to what we're doing.
A lot of the stuff, like the song is out
now is pretty much bluesy country soulful, like I don't
know where to put it. And so we've been at Rudy's.
We sold to show out every month for the past
seven eight months now. And I tell the stories, what

(06:58):
the what the show is pretty much about. And I
tell the stories because I'm twelve years clean and sob also,
which is a blessing. And I tell the stories about
my life before recovery and then sing no songs and
I tell about my life now and kind of integrate
those songs with it. So it's some almost like I

(07:18):
don't know, can I say church without the guilt?

Speaker 4 (07:20):
But I get in trouble if I say that.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
You're good?

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah, man, I just want people to come and have
a good time.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
And it's a judge free zone and we just sit
there and you know, everybody just us this good food.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
They got some really good everybody's.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Like a glass of or low whatever and we're just
having a good time.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
But they do.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
I'm drinking good old.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
But yeah, and it's a place that you can just
come in next hell, because it's a lot of noise
at that right now.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, I speak of that too. There was a time
I went through it, to be honest with you, whole
the drink inside of it too. You know how tough
that is to let that go. We were out of
the little pizza establishment this past weekend.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
That's my wife.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, if you order that cider, it's like a wine cooler.
I said, yeah, it took one sip. I was like, yeah,
it was the first one I think in a few
months that I'd had there too. And I was like
you know, it's so hard to give it up too.
But I think they put a glass come by and
putting on the table and I was like, man, you
know it still tastes good. And I was like, that's
pretty smooth. I looked back and I was like, yeah,
that helped me kind of wind down a little bit too,
like yeah, take off. But for me it was kind
of like, I'm not the heavy drinker it used to

(08:23):
be back in the day. So like for me, the
taste budgs. It gets to me when it comes down to.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
That, yeah, this could taste yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
See with me, I don't.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
I'm not that blessed.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
I don't. I would have it wouldn't have anything with
one with me.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
We'd have had a whole nother story to talk about
over the park.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
I am not. But it's it's funny, man, because I honestly,
it just went away.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
I prayed on it and and uh and and.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
It just went away. And so uh, you know with
with like I've got this this corporate cover band, and
then I also have my music and everywhere we played
with around alcohol, I mean lots of it doesn't buy
them at all. It's amazing how that's a that's a
total blessing because I don't think that's me, you know
what I mean, I could not have done that. Are
You're right?

Speaker 2 (09:08):
And like I said, and keeping it out of the
body and not poured it in there too. It's usually
the trip to the doctor too.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
Yeah, you don't.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
You don't.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
You don't drown by getting in the water. You don't

our friends at Kcbeck dot com k C Beck Music
back here bis begsby joining us here on the backstage pass.
I love that one too. You mentioned how specially it was.
It just the message because you get you really can't
put that in a box, because that's more you said.
Country blue soul here in this town has a little

(15:43):
bit for everybody, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
It does? And I did that purposely.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
I wanted to.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
And I go back to saying the only two kinds
of music way, So I'm trying to land. You have
to keep it real, and that's.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Really who I am.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
And I grew up here, but my dad was an
R and B soul singer and and so that song
just kind of wrote itself growing up in Nashville.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
I grew up on the North.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Side and as a kid, they just came and put
the interstate.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Through my neighborhood. I mean they cut off twenty cross streets,
so it just choked the neighborhood and pretty much the
doctors had to move out the neighborhood. Thenis had to
move out, and little by little it just shrank until
there was not much left. It always stuck with me, right,
and so you know, you're going through life and you
think about it like I need to write this, I

(16:32):
need to get this out, which is uh. But there's
a line in it that says there's a rose that
grows in the concrete against all the odds. And to me,
that's what life is really about. It's about the hope
and the future and the brightness and the light. You know,

(16:52):
it's all about what you focus on. So I have
to tell the story, but I'm focusing on the future
and the light and we will be all right.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, talk about the song, right, And you know, of course,
when you get that itch, and some people and musicians
have said, you know, we've woken up at two three
o'clock in the morning with a hook in our mind,
and we got to quickly grab the phone and you know,
put those lakers in the notes page or something. Still say,
would do the old fashioned you know, pen the paper,
pencil to paper. What have you looking back at it?
Does it come natural for you or has it in
the past? And where do you like to kind of
draw inspiration for songwriting?

Speaker 1 (17:20):
You know, it's funny you say that, man, that's exactly
how this song was written. I woke up at two
in the morning and I couldn't get these four chords
out of my head. And I called my co writing.
They got to produce that guitar feel, and I'm like, dude,
I know you sleep, but you got to I can't
get this out of my head. You got to help
me get through this. And we wrote the.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
Song at like three in the morning and it was probably.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Twenty minutes and it was done. Those just come to you.
I mean, one of my best songs, I wrote it
The Red Light, And I always say that's just God winking,
like he just gives it to you. And then there
are songs that we just have to sit and construct,
you know, you know, you have something that you want
to say, and.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
You have to figure out the best way to said.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
One thing I have learned about songwritering is that I
don't write for hits anymore. I mean, I don't write
songs that I think will be I just write songs
whatever is. The song will tell you whether it's good,
which is one of the best real That's one of
the things I love about playing Rudies is that we
try new stuff that a lot and a lot of

(18:25):
the stuff I'm blessed to say a lot of it
sticks and people really like it. So we're like play
to note, Okay, this is going on the next album.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
But the song will tell you that.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Songs that I've been in love with and everybody say.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
So you just never know, man.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
So you have to write for.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
And I can if I like it and you don't
like it and it doesn't go anywhere.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
I can live with that.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
If I wrote something I didn't really like but I
did it and you don't like it, I feel real
school because I'm trying to make it up. I think
they'll like this, and so you're writing something that's not
even you. So you got to be true to yourself.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
No doubt and be authentic to in this industry, no
doubt too, in any industry for that matter. Looking back,
I know this is kind of the first step. We're
going to play one called thirty Minutes here in a
little bit too as a second selection. But this is
a preparation for a full length album you're working out
for September. Tell the audience about that.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Uh, it's an album that's about pretty much about my life.
Thirty Minutes is the premises leave thirty minutes before the
Devil walks through the door, which was the story of
my life.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
I never knew when to leave. I was I would
be that the devil would come and leave and then
be back.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
And I'm still sitting there. So the good and bad,
the ups and downs growing up, what I'm going through
because it's kind of different because I mean, I'm not
a young guy like I'm trying to, you know, I
used to try to. I'm like, well, what do you
do with music? And you not in your twenties? How
do you baker? How do you leave? Do people even
do albums anymore?

Speaker 13 (19:54):
Right?

Speaker 1 (19:55):
So this album is about my life, it's about the
but it's about everybody's life because everybody goes through the
same things. Man.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Uh, you know it's the same suit.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
The bowl might be different, but the suit is so
that's uh, that's kind of how I think somebody will
relate to every.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Song that's on the track.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Uh. And this is more of a fun little funky
tune that that is.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
Uh, that's upbeat with horns, and you know, we're having
a good talent.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
There's producedly fun.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
It's funny. Well, it's fun making it too. It sounds
like it's at the same time. We're gonna play it

Get Brent a call out there. T be glad you

quote you a great rate out there. BE and P
Construction Services out of Sealy, Texas done correct and with
prospective they will travel the Canaan Gordon Show. And our

(28:05):
friends at Casey Beck Music Big Bis Biggs be joining
us here at the backstage past here too. A new
album coming out in September. Look forward to that and
appreciate let us play a couple of singles off the
record coming up too. You don't want to ask you
about Nashville being known. We talked about how it's changed.
You mentioned everything has been crazy out there too, from
like I said, record labels and musicians coming there to

(28:26):
write songs, and of course you know, buying homes there
gotten really expensive to live up there too, here from
a lot of people out there too at the same time,
but looking back at it too, it's such a special
town because when you make that connection with the right person,
and everybody's in this business to help everybody too for
a lot more reasons, you know, like a more pros
and cons. You got to love the town too. And
what I love about it too is seeing And I'm

(28:46):
gonna use her an example, because now this female class
business is hot right now in country music. It's really amazing.
And lady Wilson more than paid her dues over the
last few years too, over ten years to get to
where she's at to see the limelight talk about just
the female class and how special the city is when
it comes to relationships and connections.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Man, it's, uh, it is amazing. A little about little
you don't realize that these.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
People are are underground and they're they're growing, and they
come up and you see them and say, I hope
they make it, I hope this is okay, And.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Then one song three minutes would change their entire lives,
you know.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
And it's it's funny because you see, you know, I've
seen I was talking about. I don't know if I
can called names. But I've seen uh, like women in
country music and women in music period, just on on
the road, on on, you know, on Broadway working and
you see them on lower body and you see them
moving up, and then you see them and you realize
that that people actually don't have a problem now letting

(29:47):
whoever has the talent be in the forefront.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
It used to be a little it was a little
different for for a long time.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
But it's a it's a it's a new day.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
I think talent, their rules. Songwriting is different. It's it's
in Nashville that's.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Always been a songwriter.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Sound like people come and they sell everything they have
and come to write songs and makes it. But you'd
be surprised how many women and young ladies have great
songs and they come from a perspective that you don't
think about and you learn from it. And it's just
it's amazing watching the entire genre just grow and and

(30:28):
we're sitting watching it. And when you were here not
too long ago, right, I'm just asking you that how
many female artists were featured as supposed to ten years ago,
you know, a five, even a.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Lot, I think it was more did a lot of
Spotlight Stage this year, just there for seeing a week
in early June. So many more to have the names
Hannah Ellis, Ashley Cook, it was of course obviously Laney
and looking back and now you see Ella Langley. Mean,
there's so many great ladies block and the names go
on and on for what they're doing now. It is
crazy to see Laura Rhyna, who's fantastic out there too

(31:04):
as well, a great country singer. There's so many ladies
out there, and even in Australia we see how much
internationals and country to now. Yes, Tyler Rodriguez Haley Jensen
are in and they're a couple Australian friends. Andrew Swift
was there last year. But it's been crazy to see
how all this has really come together and how music
has just become so much more international and not just
you know here in the States.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yes, and a lot of these artists to write now
on songs. Yeah, I mean you used to come to
Nashville and like I said, there was a songwriter style,
so you would try to get with the right people.
You sit down, they write a song, give it to you,
you go play it, and they on it and you
trying to get it's.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Not like that anymore. I mean, you have people that
really get.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
To start from the ground up, from the beginning to
the end, and it's dance and they get to beat themselves,
you know. So that's just really really, that's a that's
the good part about living in this city. You kind
of get to see it, you do.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
And like I said, I love the people that just
love write their own material cities. A lot of people
love that songwriting and likes that have those hooks out there,
get those great ideas and putting in the paper and
really get thoughts out there. And you're right, it just
takes one man when it comes down to it in
that town.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yeah, we say it.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
We sat out of time.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
We're two minutes away from changing my life.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
Three minutes can make a difference in your.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Your families, it really can't. Hey, let's have all the
fun as we kind of close the show. You mentioned
your son was a huge sports fan. You love music.
What teams does he really get into?

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Is he root for?

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Is it the Titans?

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Of course he's twenty, so he doesn't know anything else.

Speaker 13 (32:34):
You know.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Me, I was, I was uh, I was kind of
where I was Cowboys and the Pittsburgh and then the
Raiders and it was all over the place. But he's
a Titans guy, uh, from from the beginning to the end.
But he's I will throw this out. He just graduated
Lipscomb University magne um lottie. Uh. That would be his

(32:55):
mother's jeans. Uh. But he really, he really really really
love sports and and and he he gets tired of
me and this music.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
But this is all he's ever wanted to do.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
So I'm we we're Titans guys.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Uh, we got p S l S.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
We you know, we're we'll be there win, lose.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Or draw, and lately it's been lose, but we're hopefully
we'll change.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Well, it's gonna be interesting to see, Like you said,
new head coach, a new quarterback, they're coming into the
rings of Uh have changed her too, But I still
I still say they're a threat with the Texans of
the a FC South too, which is gonna be a
lot of fun too because Jack wars health. It's gonna
be fun.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
I forget about I forget that. Uh, we would not
be the Titans without the Texans.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah. Uh, I'll get killed for saying, but this is
this is the truth. If we have this love hate
relationship we always have.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Uh, it's uh, it's it's a lot of fun, just
little stuff like I love how the teams can love
each other but it still be penny at the same time.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
I don't want you wearing these uniforms and we don't.
This is, you know, the the Tennessee Texas connection. It's
really interesting to be.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
A lot of good connections out there too, food wise,
and look, I love talking food on this show too.
I always have fun with it too. Nashville's never shine
when it comes to restaurants and things out there. Seems
like something else is opening up on every corner.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I know.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
I'm a barb fan Hattie Bees. I'll get my Hattie
Bees on the last few years too when I was there.
Where do you like to go eat when you get out?

Speaker 1 (34:26):
That's a good question. I don't eat out a lot, Okay,
I really don't. Man, it's so and I'm gonna tell
you why. It's so many new things in Nashville that
have opened up, and so many places that I used
to go that are no longer there. My one spot
was Mary's Barbecue. That was oh man, I mean I
would I grew up at a church called Moms Iion

(34:48):
Baptist Church right and right next to it was Mary's Barbecue.
So we would my grandmother would give me five dollars
to put in church. I put three dollars in church
and go next door and get a shoulder sandwich.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
And I was a key it.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
And so that's my goal to And they just got
bought out, which is what? Which is what here in
this town.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
They the lady had to sell.

Speaker 8 (35:14):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
They came and you know, they just kind of went
down and.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Just st okay, we want this.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
We'll give you this for this, and and.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
She couldn't fight it anymore. So I noticed was a
question about food.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
I apologize. I went to a totally different place.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
But I'm a barbecue guy. But I can't I barbecue.
Should I say this how barbecue? I've been to Texas.

Speaker 10 (35:33):
We can't.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Can't.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Well, I'll say this about barbecue because we are there
a couple of c r s's that go for the
radio seminar, country radio seminar, and uh, just a friend
that took me to to Martin's at one time. I
had Martin's.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Oh man, yes, I was.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
I was sold.

Speaker 4 (35:50):
And I started saying the real deal.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yeah, that's that's the real deal. There's others out there too,
but I was sold on the first one. What's your
father's gonna be sold? But I was like, you know what,
there's so spots in Texas that can't touch Martin's. And
I look back and I'm like, Okay, now if I
go more west into like San Antonio, Houston and that
direction and out to like Kerrville and Tornielle Passo, yeah,
there's spots that can touch it here, but more I'm

(36:14):
out here on.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
The on the coast, Marns is real deal.

Speaker 18 (36:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
I'm glad you said the shout out the barn because yeah,
because Mary's is gone now, so I'm pretty much and
that's uh my son and I would do Martins a lot.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Actually, uh he even likes the wings.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Yeah yeah, you know he's pulling them off the bone
and yeah, yeah, so that's bad. I feel bad man,
and that you had to tell me the barbecue spot
that's really cool. But Marn's is the beast. You're right,
I do.

Speaker 13 (36:45):
I do.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Hey baked beans all the way by Freddie. We'll go back, dude,
stocks you don't make me leave.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
And when this is guess why I'm having lunch today.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
And I'll tell you what. We had a couple of
new spots. I'll turn you on to there out in Germantown.
I love three one two pizza for Chicago deep dish,
which was really good. Okay, he is a Poliotano. It
was more of a thin crust. But it was right
there in front of the Sounds ballpark and it was
another pizza part.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah, what you mean right off of Jefferson.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Yeah, I can't remember. The neiame of three one two
is a little more down the block there too, but uh,
right around the corner from like Brooklyn Bowling around there
where the Sounds play baseball. Having the Poliotano kind of
pizza place. You go and order it and it's it's
just it's come, I mean fresh out of the oven,
really good, more of a thin crust, and of course
different styles with thin crust and deep dish and Napoliotano.
And I loved the diner downtown, the six floor. We

(37:37):
take the elevator, Yeah, way you go on up to
the town. Yeah, that's good, right the skyline. And they
had to tell his brother, I'm not very much of
a sweets person, but blueberry cheesecake at that diner.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
No, no, now that that. Yeah, we the diner and
the thing about the dining's open. Twenty five is a
day really, So yeah, we would get through gigging downtown
and we would go like they closed some of the floor.
The first floor is always going to be open, and
then the top floor is always going to be open.
The middle floors are kind of different. But yeah, uh,
cheesecake at three in the morning, it even tastes better.
