FAWM Podcast Jan 29, 2009

Transcript from AI:

Blog Talk Radio. Hey, everybody. It’s Charlie Cheney. And tonight is Thursday, January 29th. It’s 10 PM on the eastern time zone here in the United States of America.

And I’m doing another I’m doing a special pre FAWM broadcast to try and get prepared for FAWM to get warmed up. We tried one last night at 11:30 from the Red Roof Inn in Michigan City, Indiana, and it was a catastrophe. So I thought I better start over. So we’re starting with a clean slate, a fresh fresh perspective on how these are gonna go. And I’m excited about FALM, and I hope you are too.

For anyone who’s tuning in who doesn’t know what FALM is, it’s February album writing month. It starts this Sunday, and it starts at the the ringing of midnight, I think, on on Saturday night, actually, so people will be able to start posting songs. I’m not sure of the exact time. It might be something like the international date line in the islands of Palau or something. So it ends up, I think, being, like, 7 AM EST or 6 AM CST or something like that.

I’m not exactly sure when you can start posting songs, but the website is open now at fawm.org. February album writing month.org. Check it out. Go on up there. You could Google February album writing month if you want.

Just make sure you go to foam.org.foamorg.foam.org to check it out and sign up. You can sign up if you even if you’re just a listener or if you wanna just listen to other people’s songs. Last year, we had over 5,000 songs posted online in the 28 days. And every year, it’s pretty much doubled in size, so I would assume we’ll have darn near 10,000 songs posted this year if it follows suit. I know that yesterday we had over 200 new sign ups to sign up to participate in the challenge, so that’s pretty amazing.

Just in the first 16 hours that the site was open, we had over 200 people sign up. And it’s been great just hanging out at the site, and it’s very much like a like a yearly folk music festival or or or not not necessarily folk music. Just, I mean, just like any music festival, but I’ve heard that a lot of festivals are like that. For me, Stewart Song Fest is like that where in the 2nd week of June, all sorts of my friends gather together up in in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, and it’s so cool to see everybody. You you walk around with big grin on your face and, oh, hi.

How you’ve been? What you’ve been doing for the last year? And you shake hands and and look in the eye and give hugs and kinda, you know, slaps on the back and and finding out what they’ve been doing. And it’s very similar to what happens here on FAWM. FAWM is very much like that.

Everyone’s swarming through the online forums right now and filling the online forums with their new website addresses and their new Twitter account addresses and Facebook pages. And there’s given links to their songs from last year and the songs they’ve been doing since then, and then there’s people who took part in the 5090 challenge, the 50 songs in 90 days challenge over the summer. And now there’s people doing song a week challenges. And it’s just everyone’s talking back and forth, talking about what kind of gear they have and if they bought any anything new since their last fall, and it’s really it’s really cool. It’s a lot of fun.

Oh, cool. We have a caller on the line. I’ve been talking away here, and I didn’t see who that was. Let me bring him on. We got a 310 phone number.

Hello, caller? Hey. It’s Mark Wilson. This Mark? Mark, how are you?

How are you doing, dude? Good. Thanks for tuning in again. Hey. You know, I’m hanging with you whenever I can.

You’re the man. Yeah. Thanks. So where are you today? Oh, I’m still, what, getting ready for FAWM.

I was gonna play some more FAWM songs. Some of the the people are gonna be involved in FAWM this year. Evan Woolverton is gonna has a song, and Nancy Ross has a song. I wanna play a song by Isaac Coutores who Nice. Is another FAWMer.

So those are 3 FAWMers who have got songs lined up from songs they wrote last year. Nice. So It was pretty then interesting. It was pretty interesting, yesterday. Yeah.

It was fun. We, I I was doing it from the from the Red Roof Inn in Michigan City, Indiana. That’s where I stand last night, and I called in on my hotel phone. And Wow. I was I was holding that phone in my hand, and I couldn’t type at the same time.

Yeah. So I I was holding I was trying to type one hand, and then I’m like, boy, I wish I could put down this phone. So I was, like, looking around for some place to put it down where it wouldn’t, like, sound you know, catch all the typing while I think the other songs. And then I noticed that there was a hold button on the phone, and I’m like, oh, cool. If I click hold, they won’t be able to hear me.

So I clicked the hold button, and sure enough, it played a hold music Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. During this I didn’t know. You know?

I couldn’t hear it because I was, you know, I couldn’t listen to broadcast simultaneously. So I you know, when people are listening, you have to, you know, go in the chat room and tell me what’s happening. I need your help. You know? So Yeah.

Yeah. I was wondering what that was. It happened, like, a couple of times, and then I had to get off. I I had I had to run and do some stuff. But, I heard it a couple times.

I’m like, what is that? And I thought maybe it was just telephone, and you’re trying to, like, turn something. You know? Yeah. I need people on the chat rooms to to tell me, you know, what’s going on so that I can keep up with stuff.

I see there’s a couple of people in the chat room now. So if you guys are tuned in, tell me who you are. That’s always awesome. And help me out if you’re listening. If anything sounds bad, like my voice is distorted or or something like that, please say so on the chat room so I can try and adjust it.

You sound like you have a little bit of a, like you’ve been you’ve been talking a lot. Oh. No. You sound drinking a little bit of bourbon. Maybe that’s it.

Oh, yeah. You sound a little just a little crunchy, but I don’t it doesn’t sound like distortion or anything. Like you know? So Maybe I can bring the volume down just a touch. Yeah.

And see if I will. Yep. So Good. Where are you, Mark? Are you in LA?

Are you in New York or what? I’m in LA, but I’m heading to Austin next week. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. Are you Are you are you still working on that website that we probably can’t talk about?

We probably can’t talk about it for another 14 days. Oh, okay. Cool. Well, in 14 days, you gotta call back and tell us all about it then, man. Dude.

We’ll get way into it by the when when that happens, we’ll get way into it. All I need is a couple of days on it myself so I can see that it’s doing everything I I I expect it to do, and then we can, we can get into it and have a lot of fun with it. So I’m gonna be in Austin walking the street and and checking out, the, you know, the the the clubs and things and everything for the for for that whole South by Southwest week. So Got it. I’m going because we’re gonna be doing we’re gonna be doing a, a a a presentation on it every day from 12 to 3 on the website on the site.

At a club in Austin right off of sixth Street. So that’ll be fun. That’s awesome. Yes. Because So you’re going down pretty early.

I mean, it’s a full month early. You’re just going down to make sure everything’s all set up. Yeah. I’m gonna go I’m gonna stay in the hotel where we’re staying, and I’m gonna walk around from there and make sure because I got like 20 people coming. So I got to make sure that it’s going to be a it’s just like a dry run go look at the places where there’s some open air stuff and the clubs that we’ve enlisted and things like that and talk to the owners.

And I have 4 4, camera crews running around, streaming live to the Internet. Nice. Are you gonna do it on, like, YouStream or do you know? We we are we partnered up with Ustream. Yeah.

Exactly. Awesome. Yeah. Ustream, they called me and asked me if I would do a 247 web stream for, the whole month of February for Foam. And I thought about it, but I think I’m gonna be traveling, so I don’t think it’ll work for me.

But Well, I mean, you could do a you could do a webcam where you just kinda stick it stick it with Velcro onto the ceiling or something and it just or or on your computer where it just kinda just runs the whole time. You know? Right. Right. You can do that.

Hey. Someone else is calling in, Mark. Who’s calling in? Who else is on the phone here? This is Evan Woolverton, if you can hear me.

Hey, Evan. I can hear you. Great. Great. Mark Hall.

Can you hear Evan Evan? Yep. Absolutely. This is fun. Beautiful.

Now, Evan, you’re located are you up in the Bay Area? I sure am. I’m in the east bay. I’m in Berkeley right now. Berkeley.

Cool. Nice. I one one night I one day I hitchhiked from Santa Barbara to Berkeley. Wow. That’s pretty good.

That’s in one day. And he dropped me off. How many rides? How many rides? It was I think it was one ride.

Wow. You got you got lucky. Yeah. And he dropped me off. He drove me to some back road down to the avocado fields and dropped me off somewhere.

I I really had no idea where I was, and he he told me to go down 7 blocks and get on the subway. Mhmm. And so I just did what he told me, and I walked down into the subway because I was trying to get to the Grateful Dead concert. It was like the night before New Year’s Eve type of thing. Yeah.

So you uh-huh. You had a fun trip. I walked down the stairs, and and just like you told me, I found the subway that went right to the Grateful Dead concert. And sure enough, there was a guy there who I knew from high school waiting to get on the subway too. Wow.

Oh, wow. Oh. They had to go pretty good. But your your universe was running pretty solid, but I forgot about them. Yeah.

Back then, I had I had good universe solidity back in the day. I definitely did. I don’t know if I have it anymore, but I definitely had it then. Yeah. Dude, you got a family.

You got all kinds of stuff. You got solidity. You’re good. You’re good. Life’s good.

What? Hey, Mark. Evan has got has started this thing that’s real cool. It’s a a weekly podcast of, it’s like a song a week. Is that right, Evan?

You wanna tell us a little bit about that? True. This is true. I it it’s really inspired after this last year of doing both FAWM and 5090, and I had varying success in in both events and really wanted to I really respond to the pressure of of not just the pressure, but the livelihood of an environment where there’s an expectation that you produce something on this kind of schedule regardless of if you feel inspired or if you, you know, it just happens upon you. And I wanted to refresh that for myself throughout the year.

So, I’ve never really done, like, a New Year’s resolution thing, but I just started this for January as kind of a de facto. Well, you are going to have to have a resolution to keep up with this. Cool. Yeah. Kinda like Yeah.

Kinda like working out it’s kinda like working out. You know? It is. And Get rid of the we need to do it just as much as, just as much as an athlete does. Mhmm.

Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. Now I I tried I tried to do 5090, and it just about killed me. And, I’ve I’ve been successful in Foam the last 2 years, and I I did actually make it to 50 songs in 5090, but I swear to god I about committed suicide.

How I I think I’m not very good at the at at the regulated, you know, the regular pace. I’m good at sprints. Yes. A week, I think, is kind of beyond me. How’s it working for you?

Well, I’m a little I’m I I’m a little behind right now. I should have already put something up this week, So I’m gonna spend some time here tonight and tomorrow and hopefully have it, you know, beyond me because what I really don’t wanna have is the clouds to double up, you know Right. Of having having to catch up, you know, Tucson, do any of that. We’ll see. I mean, FAWM is gonna, FAWM is gonna be interesting because I’ll I’ll be writing far more than 1 a week.

But the aftermath of will I be burnt out after that, will I be able to maintain that pace? We’ll find out. Right. Now I know you know Debs from from FAWM at 5090. Right?

I do. I do. And you But yeah. I’m familiar with her. I I don’t have, like, a really working report yet.

Right. Yeah. I noticed you you put on her soundboard that if you got a chance to do a a collab with her during Foam, you’re gonna jump on it. I thought that was awesome. That’s awesome.

Yeah. She’s great. She is. And she did the same thing last year. She did a song a week.

She was very successful at it too. Like like clockwork, every Monday, she adds something new up. So if I can match that, I’ll be pleased. No. That’s right.

She did. She called it her Monday music. That’s right. I’d forgotten that. And but, you know, I think I looked back at that.

I started to listen to a bunch of them a couple weeks back and started putting comments on her site because she’s got them all on her own, you know, deborah linden.com. And and she did sorta use some from previous months on occasion. Like, she, yeah. She cheated. I didn’t catch them all.

Well, you know, I don’t know, you know, I don’t know if that’s really the rule that you have to actually write and record it in that week. You know? I think, you know, there’s times where you can kinda hoard them up and then and then you just play them that week. I don’t know the official rules of the game, but I think she did that a couple times. Awesome.

Is cool. We got someone else on the phone too. Hold on. I’m gonna bring him on. Yeah.

Hello? We got a 573 number on the phone. Who’s this? TC Elliott, pigfarmer junior. T.

Can you can you hear me? I’ve got a wicked cold, so this is about as loud as I can talk. I hear you pretty well. Okay. Yeah.

I couldn’t help. I was listening, and I wasn’t gonna call in for voice reasons, but Evan was talking about the song a week. And I wanted to call in and mention the song that g put up on Mal’s, chat site that some of us are, doing as well. Kind of Right. That’s It’s You can give you that at song a week dot org.

Right, PJ? Yes. That’s that’s absolutely correct. With, is that with hyphens in between words? I’m sorry?

That’s with, hyphens in between the words. Right? I think it’s You know? Called dash, a dash hyphen. I think it’s all one word.

Songaweek.org. It is. We’ll get you there. I think it’s just one word. Yeah.org.

To make you 2. Yes. That’s true. Cool. And, and, I know Nancy and and I, and I’m trying to think of everyone.

Mal, Luke Chink’s kind of doing it. Matt Pierce is kind of doing it. Meg, Ellen. There’s a there’s, I think, 8 or 9 of us altogether that are doing it. And so far, it’s been pretty successful.

And, it was really cool to to listen to Evan’s first one. That was an excellent song. So we were we were kind of in chat talking about how it was kind of a a cool coincidence. We didn’t know he was gonna be doing it. Very good stuff.

Thanks very much. So, on the on the site, it’s a dash and it’s a space, but on the on the on the actual address, it’s just all drawn together. Yes. Yeah. That that’s the confusion.

Now, Evan, you sent me or you sent me a song that I could play. It’s called got me where they want me. Yes. Is that the first song from your This is the first and the only so far of of this podcast. Well, if you guys why don’t we play it?

Do you wanna give me a quick introduction on on what it’s about or how you recorded it or anything? I won’t really comment about what it’s about, but, this I’ve I’ve been, I’ve been sort of experimenting in just composite scratch recordings, and this came about from something that I had recorded just one night to myself to try and learn a new rhythm pattern in it. As I came back to it weeks later, I thought, oh, this kinda has a life to it. And it so it was written just layer by layer until it came to be what is to me a satisfying song. I I hadn’t really taken that approach before.

So it’s it’s new. Yeah. Well, then let’s play it. This is Evan Woolverton and his song got me where they want me. Trapped inside my arm, the headlights Got me where they want me.

Got me where they want me. Stars in the pavement popping in gasoline. Got me where they want me. Got me where they want me. Stars in the pavement, love isn’t a magazine.

I lost audio. Did anyone else? Can you hear me, CC? Hey. Now I can.

Did you guys lose audio on that song? I did lose audio on that. I’m sorry. I don’t know what happened. All of a sudden, it went stop on me.

Well, isn’t that great little technology we got going? Sorry about that, Evan. We were totally jamming on the song too. I was chatting with Stefan online at the chat room. He’s like, man, this song he’s digging the song.

You know? I was like, yeah. And now this and it cut off. Oh, man. That’s okay.

Anybody who wants to hear the rest of it can go to colorsoftheghost.com, or they can look me up on iTunes and subscribe to the podcast. Cool. Oh, okay. So, like, you oh, neat. You can go to iTunes and just and you do a search for, like, Evan Overton?

Or Evan Overton or colors colors of the ghost is the title of the podcast, and they’ll they’ll take it from there. Hey, Charlie. You know what you should do is figure out how a way to do an RSS feed where you can have all this information streaming at the bottom. You know, after you talk to somebody, just type it in and it comes up as an RSS feed on anybody who’s watching the you know, watching and listening to the to to your show. Yeah.

That transcript. That would be cool. Yeah. I think I I know you can subscribe to this, to the Blog Talk Radio. I don’t know about doing a transcript, but that would be cool.

I tried to put in, you know, what songs I’ve played and stuff, but I must admit, I don’t always get all that stuff done. So But that would be cool. You’re right. That would be cool. Yeah.

That would be cool if people could click on them after the fact. You know? Mhmm. Mhmm. That’d be great.

Nice. I’ll probably have to I’m hoping that I can download these and post them actually post them up on form as, like, another songwriter kind of thing, you know, and post these podcasts as songs, so to speak, so that they play in the player. So I haven’t figured that out exactly yet, and I’m hoping to do that. So Well, I think that when you because I get these this podcast now through iTunes, and I think it’s in an MP 3 format. So it seems like you could just turn around and feed that back into the FAWM song uploader.

And who’s who said that? That’s this is Evan. You get that through you whose podcast do you get? Do you get my podcast or yours? Yeah.

The one we’re listening to right now, I, I looked it up on Itunes. I think you have it there. Oh, yeah. You know, they do that automatically. I signed up for that, and I didn’t even think of it.

It’s already there. Yeah. It’s already there in m in MP 3 format. Pretty, you know, pretty manageable file size. You could just feed it right back into.

Oh, cool. I’ll go I’ll go subscribe to my own podcast because I didn’t know that I had done it. Nice. Nice. Very cool.

Nice. Yeah. Oh, boy. Good. You know what I wanna do, you guys?

This has been awesome. I love just chatting, but I do have another song I wanted to play. I got a couple other foam songs, so I’m gonna put you on hold here for a minute. If you’ll just hold on, and I’m gonna play a song by Isaac Coutores called the Sutherland Sampson Sit Down. Yeah.

That was Isaac Coutures out of Winnipeg, Canada. He’s on form, on Fong. I believe his username is Isaac, I v as in Isaac 14, and he is very fun. He’s got a song on the compilation CD this year called showered in Misku, and he also did a cool collaboration with Burr Settles, the founding wizard of who, I’m very excited. Burr is going to be on Saturday on the show.

We’re doing a Saturday afternoon show at 2 pm Eastern Time, and I’m gonna play a song that Berg wrote with Isaac called, talking in code, I believe, or maybe it’s speaking in code. I think it’s talking in code. So I wanted to play that song by Isaac tonight. I believe he said he wrote that for his pod. He’s got, like, a video podcast or something on his website, and he wanted to write a, a song for the show.

Anyways, he’s he’s awesome. Alright, guys. I’ve got you all back in the line again. Oh, yeah. That was a nice one.

Isn’t that hot? That was from that was from, last year. That was Isaac one of Isaac’s songs from from last fall. Got it. Really makes me wanna bust out the midi recorders and go electro.

I just know I won’t have the time for the mixing that goes into that. That’s that that was that was some sweet stuff. Yeah. He’s he’s awesome. He had a rec he had a song on, last year’s CD too, which was so fun.

It was called super, super ferocious, and it’s it it let off the Oh, yeah. That’s a great one. I just heard that today. Yeah. It’s killer.

So he’s so fun. And he’s he’s he’s just wonderful, fun online too. Like, you know, I friended him on Facebook, and every once in a while, we’ll have a chat back and forth. And and he he’s just got a great sense of humor and a dry wit. You know?

So I really enjoy his stuff. I I he’s always the first person I put on my watch list, you know, and head off and waiting in his long you know? So K. For those of you who are listening, you can call in. The number is 914 338-0421.

We’re gonna be on for 13 more minutes, and we would love to have you join in the conversation. The, the chat room is also running at blogtalkradio.com/charliecheanie. You can come in and get in on the chat. It’s getting a little busier, which is kinda fun. And, PJ, what’s going on with you, or have you got a plan for for foam this year?

Have you got a a plan of attack for your 14 songs? No. Not at all. Nice. You’re going in winging it.

I’m I’m absolutely. After 50, 90, I figure it doesn’t really matter what the plan is. You just you just go in and do it and see what comes out. Now you were one of the 41 people on the planet who completed 5090 successfully. Congratulations on that.

Right. Thank you very much. I’m very proud of it. As we How do you how was how was 50.90 for you? I mean, tell me what your perceptions were of 50.90.

I’d love to hear that. It was awesome and completely harsh all at the same time. There was the community was was great. There were less people active than on, FAWM, but, the music seemed to be coming out just just as quickly. So it was it was, almost a closer knit community in a in a way.

Now that the the FAWM site’s up, I just realized how many people are on that I have no idea who they are, and I’m I’m trying to get a handle on that. I love FAWM FAWM 08 was my very first one, my first time songwriting challenge, and, I wasn’t very proficient at demo recording or even, quickly writing songs. 5090. I I I had that under my belt when I hit 5090, and it didn’t take me long before I really got in the groove. So 5090 just kinda set me in and, got me confident in being able to produce something that I was somewhat happy with.

So I’m I’m really looking forward to to February 1st and then seeing if that’ll carry over and and see if I can do the sprint like I did the marathon. Mhmm. I have a question for you. I have a question for you guys because I haven’t been to this thing. Because I thought it just off the top of my head, I thought it’d be a really good idea if there was, like, 1 or 2 guys that went to this thing that specialized in recording and why you guys are writing songs could show you a little bit more about about the recording of it and making, you know, better recordings of these things.

Mhmm. You know? We’d love to have you, Bart. Come on over and sign up, man. The the forums are really cool.

I understand. There’s a lot of interactivity about Send me send me the info because I’m I’m so swamped. I got so much stuff to do. I can barely move. But in with the travel and stuff, it’s tough.

But, but it’d be no. It’d be fun to do that, but I’m sure there’s some guys out there that would love to hook up and do that. You know, I remember back in I hate to say back in the day, but I’ve been around that long. They’d that we used to do live direct to disc recording, and it was phenomenal. If you you know, And it’s simple to do because the last microphones, you’re less the less, you know, the less phase you have and all that stuff.

And that’s where some of those old big band and those live jazz recordings and and even some of the old folk recordings, sounds so great because they just use the space instead of a lot of microphones. Right. Right. And so that would be great if some of that happened because, you know, I’m noticing I’m noticing that some of the music is better than the recordings. Well, that’s kind of partial to the whole, attitude of it though, Mark, and that the concept, it’s February album writing month, not necessarily recording month.

I mean, the idea is to write 14 songs and the quality of the recordings themselves is secondary to the act of writing. And so I think we’ve always kind of that’s kind of been part of the part and parcel with the site and with the challenges that you shouldn’t worry too much about the production quality and more try and focus just on writing songs that you’re going to feel good about. So, the first time I did it, I did almost all my stuff was sort of one take vocal and guitar. And then as I started to go farther into the month, and I felt like, you know, I was gonna make it. You know?

First time I did 50 or I did follow them. I wasn’t absolutely sure I’d be able to write 14 songs. And then once I got to it, then I started to do things, you know, with overdubs and, you know, harmonies and 3 guitar parts and and all that stuff. I’m just I’m just talking about I’m just talking about, basic setup, you know, where you are. Set that up properly.

I’m not talking about overdubs in production. I’m talking about just basic stuff. I have a friend, I’m so I don’t know if you guys would even know him. His name is Bill Martin. He was in the Stone Ponies and stuff.

And he used to go to he because of his got a phone. He was he was he’s on the road half the time with Linda Ronstadt. The rest of the time he was home, so he worked in the cookie factory. And what he would do was, he’d write the songs in his head, and then he’d come home and he had his piano and his little 4 track set up, and he had a microphone in the piano and his little room set up kinda deal. And he’d do these unbelievable one take demos of the song he’d written in his head while he was working in the cookie factory.

Awesome. And, you know, and he had a couple of hits with with, Harry Nelson and Linda and stuff from those panels. Cool. And, you know, it’s just Yeah, man. It’s phenomenal.

Great. We would love it if you came over to, you know, just phoam.org. Come over and sign up and start pitching. There’s there’s a whole, forum, forum on demo recording. And Okay.

Oh, man. I mean, you have so many years of production experience that would be so valuable to the Please share. Yeah. It should be awesome. It would be awesome.

Hey. I wanna play another song, you guys. Nancy Ross, who’s another FAWMer, has sent me a song that I could play that she wrote during song week. So I’m gonna put you on hold here just for a minute and play Nancy’s song, and this song is called Aunt Shirley. Alright.

That was Nancy Rost and her song, Aunt Shirley, which she posted on the song a week.org site. I believe, it was her first song from a couple weeks ago. I think she started on the 1st year. So for those of you just tuning in, Nancy is, one of the one of the most prolific writers around and a great collaborator. She’ll write with anybody who wants to write.

She’s just wonderful, a great personality. I’ve I’ve written a couple songs with her, and they’re very fun. We wrote 1 in the o seven form called Educated Fleas, and then during, 5090, we wrote one just recently called, Triangle, which was math rock. And, she also wrote a really cool song or the lyrics were a really cool song. It was actually a kind of an experiment, a project in the o eight form called Auto Pseudomondo, where she wrote a set of lyrics.

And then Hoopshank and Tim Villa wrote chord charts or just chords for for the lyrics and then gave it to anybody to then interpret the music for the lyrics and the chords. So the chords and the lyrics were written, but then it was up to the performers to record the song in any way that they wanted as long as they stuck to the words and to the chords. And I got to record that song and it was included on a compilation CD of those CDs of those songs called Auto Pseudo Mondo, which was a really fun project. Hey, we’re down to 2 minutes. I’m afraid we’ve run out of time.

Let me bring everybody back on so that we can say goodbye. I want to thank everyone for tuning in to the Early Chicken Chickade Wings. And, thank you, Evan, for letting us play your song. I I’m gonna ask to play that song again, I think, so that I’ll play it all the way through. No worries.

And, Mark, thank you for calling in. I certainly hope you’ll come and join us over at the FAWM site, and, that would be great. Looking looking now. Cool. Now.

Very cool. And then, PJ, PJ, you better start drinking some tea and some vitamin c and stuff and get get healthy by Sunday, man. Yeah. My plan is to be all all ready to to go on Sunday. So we’ll hope hope, nature follows my plan.

Cool. Cool. Well, alright, everybody. Thank you again. Thank you everyone for, tuning in.

Tune in pretty much every night. Weeknights, we’re gonna run this at 10 PM EST, And on weekends, we’re gonna run it at 2 PM EST. We’re having we have a very cool show coming up this Saturday, day after tomorrow, where I’m gonna interview Burr and ask him about the redevelopment of the FAWM site, which he did this year in a maniacal 15 day programming speed time. And, also, we’re gonna play some songs of Burr’s from last year that he did, some collaborations. And another song that I just love that he actually that was appropriate because he he wrote a song called Shatter Me in response to a song that was written by Steve Applehead.

So it’s sort of another example of how cool the community is and how you get wrapped up in the community of Harlem, and it inspires you. So I’m excited to do that interview with Burr on Saturday. So I hope you’ll all tune back in for that show, and we’re gonna try and do them every night. I may miss a night here and there, but I’m gonna try and do them every night in February. So I hope you will call in and also send me your songs or, you know, give me permission to play your songs.

I’m gonna try and listen to as many songs as I can on fall this year and and play representative ones from the talent. Alright. Thanks, everybody. Have a great night. Talk to you again soon.
