[00:00:00] Speaker A: You was born on a Saturday in 73 in the park. Rock music on the fifth guitar with the short whip radio.
It's motherfucking Andy calling. Look at my fucking cup, here we come. Andy calling wearing his orange hat.
[00:00:27] Speaker B: Welcome to unsigned five one eight. I am here with Joe 80 and the lug nuts. How's it going?
[00:00:33] Speaker C: We are doing good.
[00:00:35] Speaker D: Wonderful.
[00:00:36] Speaker B: Hello.
So I guess what we want to do is just start. Basically, we'll go around the room, everybody introduce themselves, what they do in the band.
[00:00:45] Speaker C: Okay, so I'm Sandy 80. I am aka also brandy up on stage. And I do the marketing.
I basically manage it. I do all the bookings and all that fun stuff. So that's my thing.
[00:01:03] Speaker E: I'm Joe 79 80, stage name, clap.
[00:01:10] Speaker D: What do you do?
[00:01:12] Speaker E: I dance around and play guitar. And I think I sing and play a little harmonica and try to latch onto being somewhat of a guitar player the best I can.
[00:01:27] Speaker F: I'm Steve Barmash. I lay down the low frequencies. I'm the bass player. I add some vocals, try to be the glue holding it all together. And I'm very pleased to be here today and very happy to be in the band.
[00:01:40] Speaker D: Hello, I'm Phil Lands. I am the drummer and the least musician of the musicianship in the band. But, you know, the foundation, so it's all important. It's really nice to be here. Thank you, Andy.
[00:01:54] Speaker B: Yeah, thanks for coming out. So I guess what we want to do is, like I said before we got started, it's just kind of a free form. We're going to do whatever. But I do always kind of ask, I guess, how the band came.
Know kind of the story of Joe 80 and the lug nuts. So whoever wants to kind of kick that one off, you want to take it.
[00:02:16] Speaker E: Well, the year was 1923 and I was driving a model a vtwin 221 4390. With no hubcaps. No, I don't know.
I just started playing and always grabbed a bunch of folks, whoever I could.
And then all of a sudden, during the plague, when the plague hit, I met Steve Barmash, bass player. I started using him, subbing out. And then through Stevie B, I met Phil Lance. And then don't really. I'm not really committed to any band. I always just do the menu know, whoever I can grab for the week because I don't really play well with others. And these guys are just like playing and it's been like what, three years now and they're putting up with me. How does that.
[00:03:12] Speaker D: You know, this is Phil.
I met Joe through Steve. Steve was like, joe said, playing, and steve invited me out to was SNS brewery, right? And so I showed up, and I was like, wow, joe's got a good voice, and he's got a sultry voice, which is really nice.
There's some really weird coincidences that happened.
I ended up calling Joe two weeks after I met him, and Steve and I were playing in a different band together. So I had a gig up in Warrensburg, and I needed players because our other band couldn't play. So I called Joe. I called Steve first, make sure he could do it. He said, sure. And then I called Joe. I said, joe, I know you don't know me. I just met you. I said, but do you want to do the gig? I said, we could totally pull it off. Now, I never played with Joe. I had played with Steve and another band. So we did a three hour show with, like, what was it? Three weeks notice of one week of just knowing the guy, really. So we ended up pulling it off, and we've been doing it ever since.
It was pretty remarkable, really.
[00:04:16] Speaker B: And that was. You said that was, like, pandemic.
[00:04:20] Speaker D: Yes. That was 2020.
[00:04:24] Speaker E: I think the story of the radiator thumb. You might want to go over that. I was working on a truck behind the barn, real quick show, and I hit. Hit the radiator with my thumb, ripped it out, pulled it out real quick because it was hot, and I got seven stitches in my thumb. And I had a show in Lake George the next day. So, Phil, why don't you tell him the rest of the story? Radiator thumb boy.
[00:04:45] Speaker D: Yeah. Joe shows up. I had no idea what was going on. He shows up, he's got, like, a piece of radiator hose. Literally a piece of radiator hose. I go, what are you doing? Is this like, a joke? Because Joe, like, the cabaret guy, you never know what you're going to get. And he goes, no, man, I got seven stitches. I go, you're messing with me, right? He goes, no, no, look. He pulls the radiator, the hose off. He's got seven stitches with a bandaid over it. He goes, I got to use this so my thumb won't break open. I go, and you're playing? I go, I'd have called in sick, dude, I'm sorry.
[00:05:14] Speaker B: And was it your left hand? Yeah. Wow.
[00:05:18] Speaker E: I had to put the radiator hose there, because if I bent my thumb to try to wrap around the guitar neck, I would have pulled the stitches open. So I used a piece of the radiator hose and made another.
[00:05:28] Speaker D: He got back at the radiator.
[00:05:30] Speaker B: Yeah, I was going to say, you used a piece of the thing that wounded you.
[00:05:33] Speaker D: Exactly.
[00:05:34] Speaker E: Well, no, actually, when I pulled out, I ripped my thumb on the radiator of the old farm truck, and then the copper from the radiator. Seven stitches, and the meat was hanging right out, and the bone, and you could see the.
[00:05:48] Speaker D: So, needless to say, I realized instantly that I'm like, I got to watch my back with Joe, because if he's willing to do, you know, you got to keep your eyes on all four sides of your head.
[00:05:59] Speaker C: Joe literally could bust an ankle and be like, I'm playing. Don't worry. Just hobble up. And I'm doing it.
He's got a show to do.
[00:06:12] Speaker B: A lot of people, like myself included. Kind of the pandemic, as bad as it was, launched, a lot of local people that were like, all right.
It put a lot of shit into perspective, where I think people were just like, well, now's the time, let's do this. Did you kind of have that same mentality?
[00:06:31] Speaker E: Yeah, I'm sorry. We were doing outside shows, and as much as we could, and we were pulling them off right up until late, early November, we did one up in the Adirondack. So we were just keeping our distance from people, right? And then we were doing outside shows. A lot of the bands were reserved, and they were just not playing.
And a lot of the establishments weren't either.
[00:06:59] Speaker B: Right.
[00:07:00] Speaker E: So we were doing whatever we could to keep our morale up, man. And then this one place would book us. They were up in the woods, they were this brewery, and they booked us every weekend. So I just booked every other weekend. Just keep my morale up. Boy, was that a backfire. And think it's. By the time we got done, I think either the people were sick of us or we were sick of the place. But it helped us as musicians.
[00:07:19] Speaker C: We won't say the name, but every time we played there, we all got sick, because he never opened up any windows.
[00:07:28] Speaker E: Keep our morale up.
[00:07:29] Speaker D: And it was very good beer, by the way.
[00:07:33] Speaker C: Covid Central is what we called it. Yeah, we all actually got it.
[00:07:38] Speaker E: Great little place. But again, it was a morale booster.
[00:07:41] Speaker C: Steve. The first time we had Steve play was at the greenhouse. Actually in a greenhouse at a local.
And they, before they built their area with all the tables and chairs, they just had one of their greenhouses. They just threw us in the end of it, put some picnic tables, and it was kind of like their beginning. Of figuring out whether or not they wanted bands. And that's where the magic happened with.
[00:08:05] Speaker F: Steve, and we realized we had a good thing going with the four of us. It just seemed to fit like a glove. And as the pandemic started to dissipate, Sandy got very busy doing some bookings, and things just fell into place. We got to play some very exciting gigs. Some really nice, very nice gigs. Big arts and craft festivals in Vermont and Lake George and Hunter Mountain, Oktoberfest, and a whole bunch of places that were very varied.
[00:08:41] Speaker B: Jive hive.
[00:08:42] Speaker F: Jive hive.
[00:08:44] Speaker B: Excellent.
[00:08:45] Speaker E: Jive hive. Big shout out to jive hive.
[00:08:48] Speaker C: Yep, Jive hive. Mikey, noah, Alec, Tom, Nick. I just can't say enough about. Yeah, they're awesome.
[00:08:56] Speaker B: Yeah, we love that crew.
[00:08:58] Speaker D: No, it's interesting playing with these guys. One of the stories that I didn't realize is Joe. I used to bounce way back when in a place in Skodak, New York. Right. It was predominantly a biker bar, and one of the bands that came in was one of my favorites. Well, after I met Joe, right, we started talking. Joe was in that band, right, with the city limits.
[00:09:21] Speaker E: Yeah, long time ago.
[00:09:22] Speaker D: Long time ago. This is in the 80s.
[00:09:24] Speaker E: Gemini.
[00:09:24] Speaker D: Gemini, right. So I used to bounce and had no idea who Joe was, so he tells me. I used to work at a place called Chuck's Brown Derby, and Joe was in that band called Gemini. I'm like, get out of here. I used to bounce. You were one of my favorite bands. But it gets even deeper because the drummer that was his drummer was my. He recorded us in an old band back in the. Never knew he was in the band. His name is Art Arthur.
Scott Werner. Yeah.
Arthur does his own recordings. Got a couple of great bands, and I haven't even talked to Arthur about it because I just keep forgetting. But it's like this weird, twisted kind of synchronicity of musicianship and friendship and life meets and has to do with Joe. It's kind of cool. So it feels right, I guess. And we have this connection that Steve talked about.
We very rarely rehearse, which is fun because we all have our busy lives. So we key in on Joe quite a bit on stage, and Steve and I, we have this unwritten and unspoken thing when we play. It's basically we need to just watch Joe and it know.
[00:10:38] Speaker C: I have to say, there's no practice. Joe's like anti practice. It's all ad lib. Get on stage and go, all right.
[00:10:45] Speaker E: Can I say something, too?
I'm going to speak directly to musicians right now, no practice. And I play with this drummer and bass player, these two guys. Okay, all right. Steve and Phil, and not really keen on cues. Musicians know what I'm talking about right now. So I'll be in my own world doing something, acting like a clown, and switching over to another queue. We don't practice, and these guys are on me like flies on.
[00:11:10] Speaker B: You can say it.
[00:11:12] Speaker E: Okay, so just speaking musician wise, like the best wingman I've ever, like, ever. These guys are amazing.
[00:11:24] Speaker D: Look, Joe pays our bills, man. We ride him, okay?
That's the way we see it.
[00:11:29] Speaker E: I do try to queue. I try to queue up, but I go into my own world. I'm in my own world right now.
[00:11:34] Speaker C: I can't tell you how many times we have other musicians that come up on stage and they look at our system. We have no ipods. We have no pads, no digital anything. It is a notebook with some lyrics, like, just, like, cued lyrics of Joe uses, like, hieroglyphics almost, of what he needs for a song because he doesn't need all the words. And it's crazy because people come up and go, you don't have an iPad. You're not know.
[00:12:04] Speaker E: And I'm like, no, we didn't play the same song. We never played the same song. Go ahead.
[00:12:08] Speaker D: Exactly. I was just going to say, I got to give the shout out to the glue man over here, Steve, because we play the same song three nights in a row, we've done it. And Joe will play, he'll start the song, and three nights in a row, he'd never started the song in the same key.
[00:12:22] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:12:23] Speaker D: And then Steve looks at me, I look at him, I go, this doesn't sound right. But we pull it off because Steve can instantly know where to go. Like Joel, play with a capo one night in one spot, and open the next night, and in a different capo spot the third night.
So it really keeps everybody on their toes.
[00:12:42] Speaker C: But that's what makes us so spicy and unique is because it is kind of so on the fly, right?
There's just that magic. There is magic between the four of us. I mean, not me so much. I kind of have the least important job out there.
[00:13:00] Speaker E: Brandy, I got to be honest.
I watch those videos, and I see where you are with your tambourine. You are spot on as a percussionist. You're an amazing backup singer. Don't put yourself down.
[00:13:17] Speaker F: Sandy has the hardest job in the band. There's nothing harder than doing bookings, right. And dealing with the inconsistencies and difficulties reaching out to bar managers and club owners and organization. It's a thankless task called thank you. And we have it easy. We just show up and play.
[00:13:36] Speaker B: Right. So at this point, I think we should probably play a song. You had thought of some that you wanted to showcase for the folks which was the first one that we wanted to do.
[00:13:47] Speaker A: Sure. Yeah.
[00:13:48] Speaker E: Road rage.
[00:13:49] Speaker C: Was road rage or road kill suit? Which one do we want?
[00:13:52] Speaker E: Oh, I don't remember.
[00:13:53] Speaker D: Road rage, I think that was a good one.
[00:13:55] Speaker C: Yeah. Road rage. How did you come up with that when you wrote it?
[00:13:59] Speaker E: Well, everybody knows about. Everybody can identify with Road Rage. We see it everywhere.
[00:14:03] Speaker A: It's Crazy.
[00:14:04] Speaker E: Every year that goes by, it gets worse.
I don't know what the frustration is, but we all feel it.
But I will tell you, I was on the motorcycle yesterday. Yes, it is February something. And I was on my motorcycle yesterday driving through Copeg and this guy raged me with a four x four f 350,000 Ford and went off to the side of the road. Damn near took me out. And I'm small on the food chain. We're the smallest element on the food chain, a motorcycle. And you're road rage in a 4000 pound car or something, that's one thing. But on a motorcycle it's like you don't engage. You just get out of the guy's way, man. And we see it everywhere. Try to hold back. One day I was coming home from work and it was coming down I 90 and I just started writing. Of course I was writing and driving and the pen was flying around and I was probably rotating.
[00:14:57] Speaker C: Tax and drive. He just has a note.
[00:14:59] Speaker E: We can all identify with it. And that's all I'm going to say about it. And then we just put the lyrics.
[00:15:04] Speaker C: You guys have to listen to the lyrics on this because it is quite.
[00:15:08] Speaker A: So when we pulled it off in.
[00:15:09] Speaker E: The studio, Steve put his own bass to. It's our own interpretation of how we.
[00:15:18] Speaker D: Thought it should sound.
[00:15:19] Speaker A: Right?
[00:15:20] Speaker D: That's right.
[00:15:20] Speaker F: We played it the way we felt it and it just seemed to fit.
[00:15:24] Speaker B: Cool. All right, well, so let's listen to road rage Joe 80 and the lug nuts and then we'll be right back.
[00:15:50] Speaker A: Sama gas headlights on my ass at my red light don't you linger or you'll get the finger keep your horn and shout over words at me stick your finger high in the sky screaming, shout, cry road rage driving me insane I said a rude too much for my brain he's got to go bad if you know what I mean? 14 miles to the next latrine he's got a burning in his belly way down low if he hits a pothole, he won't need a toilet bowl breathe, driving him insane too much for the brain drives a four by four she's looking pretty and petite but don't pitch her off because grandma's packing heat she's got the pedal to the metal on her way to church down an old dusty road grandma's chucking dirt road rage Lord have mercy here she comes now.
Look out.
Get out of my way.
That's my parking spot. Why, I'll show you, hooligan.
I have a 4000 pound weapon.
Is that a bicycle stuck under my fender wheel?
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Why you fool again?
Road rage driving me insane road rage too much for my brain road rage driving me insane road rage too much for my brain rose, rock it.
[00:19:37] Speaker B: All right, so that was road rage. Joe 80 and the lug nuts.
[00:19:46] Speaker A: Ain't it great?
[00:19:52] Speaker B: Whoo.
So I guess we want to talk about your experience at Jive hive because I didn't even realize that you knew the guys at the jive hive. And I was actually, I'm friends with Mikey and I mentioned that you guys were coming on. He was like, oh, my God, I love those.
[00:20:13] Speaker C: Blast.
[00:20:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Talk a little bit about your experience.
[00:20:17] Speaker E: Well, I'll tell you, you go first because I got something to say about those folks. Go ahead.
[00:20:23] Speaker D: Yeah, no, it was a great space. I walked in, I thought it was like something on, like, snl.
It's really a cool spot. The guys were fantastic.
Amazing equipment.
Playing the drums. They had all the drums I needed. Just brought my own symbols. It was great. It sounded fantastic. They really got it set up nice. And it's kind of like a surreal experience. They had like, this bar set up and you could bring a bunch of people. We didn't get a chance to bring that many friends with us. So we're kind of conniving about the next time. Hopefully if we do it again, maybe we'll have to send out like $10 vouchers to all our friends. We'll have to save some money.
[00:21:02] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:21:02] Speaker B: That's the thing about jive hive is once you've done it once, you're then part of the circle, part of the family and then you can kind of just be like, hey, we'd like to do it again. And they'll find a spot for you. To do it again would be a good time.
[00:21:14] Speaker F: We thought there was a great vibe in there when we were playing, and the entire recording process was effortless. Some of the other places you spend 45 minutes, an hour with sound checking and the drummers hitting every drum forever. We just started playing, and they zoned everything in. And I've never seen an easier recording process. It was a real blast, and everybody there was very gracious and really cool, and I recommend it to anyone to go there if you get a chance.
[00:21:43] Speaker B: It is such a cool spot, Phil, like you were saying, it feels like a tv set. Like a tonight show.
[00:21:50] Speaker E: Classy joint. Class a group of folks. I can't go over the names. You know the names, Brandy. But I'll tell you one thing right now, those guys up there, it was like they invite you into their home and artists supporting other artists. You don't find a lot of that much anymore. There's a lot of ego in this business. And just took us right off the street and took us into the home.
[00:22:14] Speaker B: Literally.
[00:22:15] Speaker E: Amazing.
[00:22:16] Speaker C: I mean, Tom, the way he has everything set up and just how he just graciously opened up his doors to all these beautiful musicians and just what they do for you, it's just really incredible. And we were blown away by it. We really were blown away with the generosity.
[00:22:33] Speaker B: Yeah, we did a live ep there. We did like a six song ep there. We recorded our latest single there. We did a music video there. We've done live streams.
I love jive piping. I love all those guys. So, hi, guys.
[00:22:51] Speaker E: To the community.
[00:22:52] Speaker B: Absolutely. And it is a service, too. That's the thing is, people can't believe that it's a free thing and they're.
[00:23:01] Speaker C: Doing it out of their own time, and.
[00:23:03] Speaker D: But nolanuts got a killer band.
[00:23:06] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[00:23:07] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:23:07] Speaker C: And so does Mikey with the sugar hold. Sugar hold, absolutely.
[00:23:11] Speaker E: It's kind of like. I'm not comparing this to anything in particular, but it's kind of like the VFW for musicians, because they understand you.
[00:23:23] Speaker A: They understand.
[00:23:24] Speaker B: What do we get? Everybody can just go and swap fucking war stories.
[00:23:30] Speaker A: Fucking owner, man. He scoot us. Remember?
[00:23:32] Speaker D: Yeah, I know that guy.
[00:23:34] Speaker C: Yeah, I remember that.
[00:23:34] Speaker B: When we got stiffed on that gig, those were the days.
[00:23:38] Speaker D: Remember that one bathroom in that place? Oh, my God.
[00:23:40] Speaker E: Remember the radiator thumb?
[00:23:42] Speaker B: Yeah, right?
[00:23:43] Speaker C: Remember the guy who wouldn't give us free drinks?
[00:23:48] Speaker B: The VFW for musicians. That's Fantastic.
[00:23:52] Speaker D: That's funny.
[00:23:53] Speaker B: So we've got, like, the jive hive. You've been doing bunch of stuff, gigs. Is there anything, like, super cool coming up that you're excited for or that you've done recently that you're excited about?
[00:24:06] Speaker E: I'm really excited about Grandma calling in sometimes.
[00:24:09] Speaker D: Well, we did the state of New York puts on the summer fairs, and we just played the convention in Syracuse. It was a really nice gesture. They asked us to play, and we have a friend down in Chatham for the Chatham Fair, and he wanted us to play it.
[00:24:28] Speaker C: He was the president of the organization. So we were asked to do his presidential banquet.
[00:24:33] Speaker B: Oh, wow.
[00:24:34] Speaker D: So it was pretty cool. We had a really nice time. Beautiful venue out know. So one of the highlights is we got some of the county fairs calling us.
[00:24:43] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:24:44] Speaker D: Which is really nice. That is, I think, with the Altamont Fair, Ulster County Fair, we're going to.
[00:24:48] Speaker C: Be the actual highlighting band on July 30 in Ulster county. And then we also have Columbia County Fair. Yeah, we always do the Columbia county fair. Yes. That one's awesome.
We're going to be up in Saratoga this year, too, at the raceway, at the race course. We're going to be playing there. Trying to think of another big one that we have coming up.
[00:25:14] Speaker E: While you're looking, can I just give.
[00:25:17] Speaker D: Yeah. There's a nice venue. We play, too, Sandy's friend. We do the Lake George Arts Festival. It's usually on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It's a really cool event. I mean, it's huge tent and beautiful stage. And it's in the hundred vendors or so, our wood park.
[00:25:33] Speaker C: And then we also are going to be doing the one in southern Vermont this year, which is in Manchester. We were scheduled to do it last year, but Tornado came in and blew the tent all away. So we weren't actually able to play.
And hopefully this year that doesn't happen and we actually get it. But we did Stowe, same organization. We've been in Stowe, Vermont, twice.
[00:25:53] Speaker D: That's beautiful country up there, too.
[00:25:55] Speaker E: Throughout all this, though, I would just like to give a big shout out to the people. We would be playing for the wallpaper if it wasn't for the people who come out to see us. And they all know who they are, the people. We just love them. I could go into names right now, but they follow us. And that's what it's all about, man, because it's just their energy. They bring light to the show. And, you know, as a musician, man, you know what I'm talking about. All the musicians know what I'm talking about. It just feed us some of your light and your energy, and we'll feed it back to you.
[00:26:21] Speaker D: It's so much fun, man. When people clap, I mean, I've been in so many different bands over the years, and you hear like the straggle clap and one whistle. But it's funny, when you hear a bunch of people clap, you're like, oh, okay.
[00:26:34] Speaker B: There's nothing quite like looking out and seeing somebody singing along to a song.
[00:26:38] Speaker E: That you wrote, especially when it's one of our.
[00:26:41] Speaker B: That's what, like the. It's a connection.
[00:26:45] Speaker D: It's a great connection to.
[00:26:47] Speaker E: I wanted to thank Aaron Harks, too, for getting us up in Lake George.
[00:26:51] Speaker B: Hell, yeah.
[00:26:52] Speaker E: Great gal, man. Love Aaron talent, man. She's funny as hell. Absolutely great musician. And just the people that like you, five one, eight people that are just support each other, and it's just amazing.
[00:27:05] Speaker C: We got a couple of other ones. Guilty pleasure, too.
She's been instrumental to Casey from guilty pleasure. She helped us get a couple of really good gigs. She actually played Rivers casino last night.
We have a lot of good musicians.
[00:27:21] Speaker E: One other thing, I'm going to switch.
[00:27:23] Speaker D: Gears right here real quick.
[00:27:25] Speaker E: If we could just want to talk about Steve's bass that he had since 1973. Hit it, Steve.
[00:27:30] Speaker F: It's an old precision bass, and I got it in college, and all the paints weren't off of it, but it's something I couldn't find today. It's a 1970s bass, and it just.
[00:27:43] Speaker B: Always records well, I'm a 1973 bass player.
[00:27:48] Speaker D: There you go.
[00:27:50] Speaker E: That bass was born when you were born.
[00:27:52] Speaker B: That bass was born when I was born.
[00:27:54] Speaker C: We did Mama told me by three dog night. And as we were watching it, Joe says, see that base in there? That's the same year it came out.
[00:28:04] Speaker B: That base came out same year I was born.
[00:28:08] Speaker D: Old vintage equipment, man.
[00:28:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I am vintage equipment, for sure. I think we all are in this room.
[00:28:15] Speaker C: Start with 73, 72, 69.
[00:28:20] Speaker B: You guys, they're like, I'm not saying.
[00:28:24] Speaker C: Come on, you just turned 60, you're doing 64. And then, Steve, you're our.
[00:28:28] Speaker F: Oh, I'm a child of.
[00:28:30] Speaker D: The thing is, Steve is the one.
[00:28:32] Speaker C: With the most youthful attitude.
[00:28:34] Speaker B: Right.
[00:28:37] Speaker D: Retirement helps with that, I have to say.
[00:28:39] Speaker E: Well, I was born in 1923, and I had a radiator thumb, and I was born in an old farmhouse. And now Steve's got less wrinkles than me.
[00:28:53] Speaker B: So I think at this point we should play another song. So which one were we going to.
[00:28:59] Speaker C: Do called don't take my world away? And it's a ballad. It's like a love song, but it's kind of a tragic love song, because in the song, basically the girl breaks his heart. And it's written from about a friend of ours who actually had that experience. We're not going to say the person's name, but he got very broken hearted and Joey felt bad, so it just struck him and he wrote the song.
[00:29:26] Speaker B: And it's called don't take my love away or your love.
[00:29:29] Speaker E: Oh, it could be that.
[00:29:35] Speaker B: Don'T take my world away.
It's so easy going. You're like, I don't care.
[00:29:40] Speaker E: Don't take my bingo card number away. It's called don't take my world away.
[00:29:45] Speaker B: Let's listen to don't take my world away, Joe, Edie and the lug nuts, and then we'll be right back to wrap it up.
[00:30:00] Speaker A: First thing I said once she was leaving, please don't take my world away.
Without your love I'm barely breathing.
You made me the man I am today.
She turned to me and said, oh, I love you long ago. But sometimes even love can fade away.
Out of that door I try to hold you, you turn and slip right through my hands.
Bury all my reason for living.
Please don't take my world away.
She turned on me and said, all of you long ago. But sometimes even love can fade away.
You remember that first time I held your hand? That old pickup truck girl held. We were just kids.
Time rolled on and on. Years went by, blink of an eye.
Sometimes people change.
Now my heart is breaking, my soul is shaking. You turn, walk away.
I got to leave.
Well, never lo I got to keep it on.
Oh, but I remember when love was too far gone.
First thing I said won't she was leaving.
Please don't take my word.
[00:32:25] Speaker B: All right, so that was don't take my world away. Joe 80 and the lug nuts. So I want to thank you all for coming out here. It was really cool for you to take time out of your day and converge from different towns in the region to all come up here. That was really cool, and I appreciate it. But before we go, I want to give everybody a chance to say what I refer to as your gratitude. So we'll start here.
[00:32:47] Speaker C: All right, so my gratitude would be. I always have to say the same thing. I always give everything to God. Because if it wasn't for him, I couldn't do any of this. And I don't believe that our band would be where it be if it wasn't for him guiding us. So that's where my number one is. And then, of course, to my boys, Phil, Steve, and Joey. We wouldn't be a band without these guys. They're talent and they're amazing personalities. I just love them. So, Joey, you're up.
[00:33:14] Speaker E: Right on, sister. Me too. I'd like to thank the Lord above for every day my 2ft hit the floor before I even become a musician, just to be able to be here on earth. And I want to thank my compadres, Steve and Phil and Brandy again. I'd be nothing without them because I would just be living in the streets as a homeless person.
[00:33:39] Speaker F: And I'm just very glad to be part of the project, part of the band. We always look forward to getting together and playing, and it's a cool experience. And I appreciate all the efforts the rest of the band puts in, especially Sandy, for all the hard work, because we get to go and play some really cool places in front of some very friendly, appreciative people. And as a musician, that's like, the best. People are not apathetic. Often every single person will pay attention and clap after every song. And you don't get that. I've been in a lot of bands, so I appreciate the material, the performance, and just the opportunity. Just the opportunity to be out of the house and playing in front of people who really love what we're doing. So thanks, everybody.
[00:34:25] Speaker C: Amen to that.
[00:34:27] Speaker D: Yeah, good job, Steve. Yeah, I'm the know I got to thank my higher power. Without him, nothing would happen. And of course, my know, it's amazing playing with these guys. It's so much fun. And our friends and family that come out continuously. It's always good to see everybody's face. It just makes it for us. And Andy, people like you that do these podcasts and people like jive Hive, it's a whole community. I mean, we can't do it by ourselves. It takes everybody to help out. And we really appreciate, I do in particular. So thank you.
