Hello and welcome to two girls in a pot.
0:05
I'm Sharon, I'm Christy, we hope all of you were doing well, this
0:10
week, the cold out there for some people, so hopefully you're
0:15
all staying warm. Yeah, I say cold and Christy
0:17
gets that look, yeah, that's one of the discussed.
0:24
Yeah, I don't know what happened.
0:26
I don't think we're quite winter people anymore.
0:28
Where we before? Well, I kind of liked it growing
0:31
up. You know, I grew up in the
0:32
southern part of Colorado where it was cold and you just kind
0:35
of, I didn't mind it. Then, you know, what is the idea
0:38
that if you grow up in a place where it snows, you're supposed
0:41
to be okay with it? No, I'm just saying that.
0:43
You know, when I was growing up, it was fun for me.
0:46
I didn't have a disdain for it. I did and I had plenty of snow
0:51
where I grew up? Well, maybe it would suit you
0:53
were doing To, you know, I liked hanging out, you know, my
0:56
friends liked being out in the snow and so my family.
0:59
So maybe it was different. Did you have friends at wanted
1:01
to be outside? No.
1:03
Okay. See.
1:03
There you go. None of us wanted to be out
1:05
there in that it's one of those things.
1:09
So we are stuck here with winter so you know I think that's kind
1:13
of interesting because you know when you're in a thing where
1:15
you're in a situation where you can't get out as much as you
1:18
would like to for whatever reason, you know?
1:19
And sometimes it's the weather, those kind of things.
1:23
Well, I wonder what Things we do is we do steps inside but we do
1:27
steps with music and I always ask you, how do you say what
1:32
we're going to walk to today because she's in charge of the
1:35
music in the more fact she's in charge of the music?
1:37
Probably 98% of the time. Well, I checked, you know, we
1:43
listen to everything and the exception of country that is
1:48
yeah. Usually not on our top 100 list
1:51
of things to listen to definitely not.
1:53
I mean that's not something. You ever choose to listen to?
1:56
I mean there are there's good songs and every genre but it's
2:00
not something that I choose to listen to but respect to the
2:04
country music industry. No definitely not.
2:07
I mean there's no beaten Dolly. She's a great gal.
2:11
Yeah and that goes beyond music. I think she just seems like a
2:16
really cool person. She is such an iconic person and
2:19
for those of you who didn't see her, if you didn't see her in
2:23
Miley Cyrus, During the New Year's Eve thing, you got to go
2:26
you too, but watch it. It was such a fun thing.
2:29
And, and doll, even at her age, the energy she has, you know,
2:33
and also when she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
2:36
Fame, that just shows you the impact of music and even
2:39
somebody from the country, getting into the Rock and Roll
2:42
Hall of Fame and why they explain that, and it just the
2:44
power of music itself, you know? Well, and I think it's going to
2:47
be really interesting to see what it inspires in her now
2:51
because she is doing this new rock.
2:54
Album and she's talked about some of the different names that
2:58
may be on there. And I'm excited to hear what
3:01
it's going to sound like, because I think Dolly could rock
3:03
with the best of them, you know, a little rock with the little
3:06
country twang but hey, we'll take it.
3:10
Yeah, but once again it just shows you the power of music and
3:13
I think how you can maybe not like a genre but there might be
3:18
somebody in that genre that you can just that music and that
3:21
personality and all the stuff that resonates with you.
3:24
Yeah. And I mean it's funny because
3:26
there's a lot of like I'm not a country music fan but there's a
3:30
lot of crossover and stuff like that happening and that and I
3:33
think that it's always cool to me when you hear all the
3:37
different collaborations when people come together and create
3:41
music that is just it's awesome to me to see you know what comes
3:46
out of that. And it's so cool because music
3:49
is so versatile and you can just do so much well and I think to
3:54
it, Like sometimes when you have first might see those people who
3:57
are collaborating together, you're thinking that, why?
3:59
That? And then you listen and it's
4:01
like they hear something that we don't until you know that
4:04
finished product comes out and then it's like, oh my goodness,
4:07
I would have never thought to put those two people together.
4:09
Yeah, exactly. Well.
4:11
And sometimes people have a problem with this.
4:13
If they're, you know, somebody that does a certain genre music
4:16
when they step outside of that. There's a lot of people that it,
4:20
you know, it goes against what they feel like, oh, you're not
4:23
being true to it or whatever. Or I guess the night.
4:25
So I would imagine they'll be some rejection, even with the
4:28
rock album for Dolly but you remember back however many years
4:32
ago that was his name, the country artist that did a whole
4:38
Rock album and that didn't set well with people at first, he
4:43
did it under a different name, got wrist.
4:45
It was Garth Brooks. Yeah, which I know a lot of
4:48
people didn't care for that album but I actually liked it a
4:52
lot. I thought I had a lot of good
4:54
songs. You saw me.
4:55
So I just think it's interesting, you know,
4:58
especially if somebody does a certain genre music all the time
5:01
and they're willing to step outside of that.
5:03
I remember hearing years and years ago, the other performer
5:08
that she's Celine Dion, you know, the style of music that
5:13
she doesn't that, but I heard her years ago, do rap, and she
5:17
was phenomenal at it. Oh yeah.
5:19
She did a little thing on. Yeah, I remember that.
5:22
Yeah, so I mean I think it's really cool when you see An
5:24
artist kind of step outside of themselves and do something.
5:28
Maybe that's outside their comfort zone will.
5:29
Even when you start seeing those actors and actresses who, you
5:33
know, when you don't think about like Nicole Kidman, but she can
5:36
actually sing, you know, she was on Moulin Rouge and she has a
5:40
voice to, you know, of course Anna Kendrick's who was more
5:45
known for Twilight and then went on to Pitch.
5:48
Perfect, it's perfect. And you know just that that they
5:52
can seem to and you know everybody's here's the Rock.
5:54
You know, many things in moaña and stuff like that.
5:56
Yeah. His little thing and Journey to
5:59
the Center of the Earth. Does this little ukulele think?
6:02
Yeah. Hey, you don't even realize,
6:04
sometimes those people are musically inclined, but it's so
6:07
cool. When you get to see that side of
6:09
them. And I think, you know, the other
6:11
thing we were talking about one day to is like how they're
6:14
remaking, so many old songs, you know.
6:16
First one we heard then on John's new version with the
6:19
female singer do Oliva, do Oliva.
6:21
And it's like, First, you know, so what are you thinking?
6:26
You kind of you didn't, and I liked it right away.
6:29
I'd like the that combination and stuff.
6:33
And yeah, the first time I heard it, I was a little unsure, but
6:36
it grew on me. And, you know, it's like how
6:38
many of you out there listening? We'll listen to a song and you
6:41
think, you know, it just is not resonating with me, but then you
6:44
hear the next time and I don't know if it's that we're in a
6:46
different mood or a different place.
6:48
Or I don't know what that is, but you hear the next time
6:51
you're there, like, oh my God, you know what, I really do like
6:53
that song. Yeah, I mean for me almost any
6:57
post Malone song I ever heard. I liked it the first time, but I
7:00
do remember, I think the first time I heard circles, I wasn't
7:04
sure about that one either. And now I love that song.
7:06
So, I mean it is, it's interesting how some songs kind
7:09
of grow on you and we, I always left you in because, well, we,
7:13
if you can't tell me talk a lot about music but I'll ask you, do
7:16
you hear the music first? Or the lyrics when you first
7:20
listen to a song? And most the time, it's the
7:23
music I get Wrapped up in that unless it's one of those songs
7:27
to me, if it has just that same repetitiveness and how many of
7:30
you out there to have seen a song go to into the top 10?
7:33
And you think why on Earth is that song?
7:38
Yes. There have been songs that like
7:39
that. Yeah, yeah.
7:40
She'll get aggravated at that shall select.
7:42
Why is this even popular white? And I get it because sometimes
7:46
if they're too. But I guess that's the cool
7:48
thing, you know, that's a very cool thing that you can.
7:51
There's everybody has such different tastes in music.
7:54
Music and that it just shows the versatility.
7:57
And I think that that's awesome because I mean, I love so many
8:01
different styles of music. I remember going through a
8:04
period of my life where I almost always just listen to reggae and
8:09
you know and I mean now I try to mix it up a lot.
8:12
I think my favorites probably reggaeton and I I mean, I love,
8:17
you know, any Latin beat music so yeah, we're all into that and
8:22
but I think what's interesting is, you know, It's not in what I
8:25
find fascinating about you. In the years.
8:28
We've been together. I swear there can be a song that
8:30
comes on, you know, even if it's on a commercial, whatever you
8:35
will know it. And I'm there like, how do you
8:36
know that song from the 50s or the 40s or and you'll tally oh
8:40
yeah I heard that you know whether it was your grandma or
8:43
somebody. Well I've listened to music even
8:46
growing up. I would listen to music at night
8:50
with my earphones and partially because growing up, I was always
8:54
Only allowed to listen to Christian music and and there's
8:59
some good stuff in that too. And there were some groups that
9:03
I really enjoyed, but I wasn't allowed to listen to secular
9:06
music. So I would listen to it at night
9:08
in my earphones. So I just got to listen to so
9:12
many different kinds. I would just, I don't know.
9:15
I was just a practice for me and then also, my dad was 24 years
9:20
older than my mom. He knew a lot of different
9:22
songs. I mean, it was such a wide span
9:27
of music that I that I was privy to, I guess, just because of
9:33
them and their age difference. And that even though like I said
9:37
as my growing up years we pretty much they listen to gospel in
9:42
and Bluegrass. I, at least I would listen to
9:45
contemporary Christian. I was big into DC, Talk and
9:50
Petra groups like that. Where mine was different
9:53
because, you know, my My mom's dad, so my grandfather, he
9:56
played accordion harmonica and he could play some piano but he
9:59
did all by ear. So we had a musical thing in
10:03
that area but I remember being little in my mom would always
10:07
hum and see when she would do laundry.
10:10
And I remember as a child thinking, I can hardly wait till
10:12
I can get old enough to do laundry because it's such a fun
10:15
thing because my mom always seem to enjoy it because there was
10:18
always some type of humming and music going on.
10:20
So, in my head I thought it must be something to do and how Okay,
10:25
rude awakening. You know when I got old enough
10:26
to do laundry room, they're like, hmm, I don't find the same
10:30
Joy obviously but my mom's side of the family, music was such a
10:35
huge thing. And when my grandma, after my
10:38
grandfather passed away, you know, many years later, my
10:41
grandmother came to visit us and we put music on and it because
10:46
it was music is such an important part of that side of
10:49
my family and we were dancing with my grandmother.
10:52
Who was at that time, probably, 990, you know and just dancing
10:57
and having a good time and just that joy of the music even
11:00
through her and and whereas on my dad's side of the family,
11:04
music was not a big thing. My grandma music was not her
11:08
thing. And so even for my dad he kind
11:11
of had to evolve into that, you know, with my mom and then all
11:14
the rest of us but I remember growing up, Saturday mornings.
11:17
We were watching American Bandstand.
11:19
Pretty soon. Dad was watching it with this
11:20
and dad were watching American Bandstand, solid gold Soul
11:24
Train. And so we had music, you know.
11:28
So, and just how important it was, did you do school dance?
11:32
You didn't go to public school, so allowed to go to school
11:35
dances or anything. So yeah, music was a big part of
11:40
my life but it wasn't because of things like that.
11:45
But always remember, you know, way back in the day, you know,
11:47
because that's what it was for me.
11:49
I remember school dances and you know that music would come on
11:52
and, you know, at first, you know, nobody wanted to dance
11:54
because As I don't know, you know, I don't know if you got to
11:56
know what the thing is, but you know, you just see that, you
11:58
know, seen those movies, where you pan in, you see, everybody
12:01
just sitting there looking may be tapping their foot and stuff,
12:04
but pretty soon, the music moves you and your out dancing.
12:08
That's what I say. I mean, how can you sit still if
12:11
you're there listening to music? I, it amazes me the people that.
12:15
Can I remember when we went to Las Vegas, our friend Sandra
12:20
again, but we went out to this club and I remember there were
12:24
The, you know, the music's really going and, I mean, you're
12:27
standing there listening to the Rhythm of the Night.
12:30
How are you standing that still? How do you do that?
12:35
I don't get it. She says she's dancing
12:37
internally. Yeah, so, I mean, it is music
12:43
moves. This music is about movement in
12:46
motion. And, you know, not only does
12:49
music have the ability to move our body, but it Has such an
12:55
ability to really touch our soul and and just really make us.
13:02
I don't even know what the word is.
13:03
Yeah, I feel like music can be so healing or it can just be
13:08
soothing sometimes you know you're going through something
13:12
or whatever and you could put a song on, I love that.
13:15
There's a song for every mood. Oh God.
13:18
Yes. And then there are the songs
13:21
that can help change the mood true and I just I love that
13:26
about music in. I feel like that life without
13:31
music would be so sad, you know, it's interesting because, you
13:34
know, I work with kids for so long and often times by you hear
13:37
parents, say they would be fighting about what the kid was
13:40
listening to. Hmm, don't be listening to that.
13:43
That's, you know, corrupting your mind bubble.
13:45
And I remember this kid, he loved him and him who the the
13:50
the parents are? They just didn't like it.
13:53
It was rap music. Was all this now.
13:55
So Mom comes in. They've been fighting about this
13:58
because I DL said, what what song is it that you're listening
14:01
to? And he was listening to a song
14:03
Cleaning Out My Closet. Hmm.
14:06
And I asked the mom, I said, do you know what that is even about
14:08
and she goes well, it's rap music and I said but you know
14:10
what, I want you to your assignment, is you go listen to
14:12
that song and when they came back she was why didn't
14:16
understand. And I said, because it's the
14:18
song is about getting rid of crap, you know, is very much
14:23
what therapeutic We do we clean out your closet.
14:27
You know what, that's what he was talking about.
14:28
Cleaning out the closet. You know.
14:29
You have to transcend that get past that figuratively speaking?
14:32
And yeah, yeah. Emotionally healing kind of
14:34
thing. Yes.
14:35
And so it really changed her perception because then they
14:39
could have a conversation about that, you know.
14:42
And I think sometimes, you know, older Generations, you know we
14:46
all heard about Alvis right that Rebel.
14:50
Oh my goodness, he was starting to sexual Revolution or so.
14:55
How dare he move his hips like that?
14:57
Exactly. And so I think that was really
15:03
even for him that started a new genre a new way of Performing
15:09
and things like that. So every time there is these
15:12
these iconic people who came through, you know, and did stuff
15:15
like that. Of course, Michael Jackson, you
15:17
know, with his dance moves and stuff like that.
15:19
That was incorporated in and it just shows that evolution of
15:24
Music but music with dance and and the value of it.
15:28
Hmm, you know, and of course, you know, speaking of Elvis
15:31
Presley, you know, very sad about Lisa Marie that was really
15:35
a sad thing because you know, she was a artist and you know, a
15:39
singer and that so you know we're losing there's a lot of
15:42
these iconic Jeff Beck, you know, passing away as well.
15:46
So there's a lot of really these performers who really
15:50
contributed in gave so much in the world of music and it's such
15:54
A cool thing that even though they left us physically, we
15:58
still have the music to kind of connect with that.
16:02
They've really left behind a legacy and it's really cool
16:04
because it, you know, I you say, if they change the world of
16:08
music, but, and it's not just the world of music because
16:12
that's the cool thing about music is it changes the world of
16:16
people sometimes, you know? Absolutely, it helps you reflect
16:20
on things sometimes and see things differently and They
16:24
said, just can soothe the soul and hear when he said the world,
16:28
you know, because we listen to World music to, we listen to
16:30
music from all over the world. Absolutely.
16:33
One of the things that I think is really cool, is we watch a
16:35
series called Destination Truth and he travels all over the
16:37
world and sometimes, even when he goes into these Villages and
16:41
they there will be music. Oh, they will be dancing.
16:44
There will be music. Music is, you know, whether it's
16:47
on a drum or whatever. That musical instrument is, and
16:51
there's really cool musical instruments from all over the
16:53
world. And that's what I think is cool
16:55
too. Is it connects Us in so many
16:57
ways and everywhere that you, you go.
17:00
It's like music is such a key part of culture of just people
17:07
in general, at things, that they're going through or
17:09
whatever it has has brought people together, you know, they
17:13
they would join together and songs and things like that.
17:16
And I mean, I think that that's really cool because it was a
17:19
form of entertainment before. There was anything, you know
17:22
what I mean, and song and dance. Always been so important.
17:27
You know. One of the things and I always
17:29
have such a fun memory of is, you know, we used to go to
17:33
wedding dances and stuff like that with as a family, is
17:37
Dancing cumbias with my dad and stuff.
17:40
Yes. And my mom dance, cumbias with
17:42
my brothers and stuff. So just the importance of that
17:46
with us, and that value to us, you know, it was the music, it's
17:50
that connectivity. It's all of those things that
17:52
are just so amazing. Once again, my mom's love of
17:55
music. So we listen to some Frank
17:57
Sinatra. I mean, when we talk about the
18:00
genres of what we do, and I have a memorial tattoo for my parents
18:06
and on it is the musical notes and it's a staff with the
18:11
musical notes, and it's five minutes more by Frank Sinatra,
18:15
which wasn't one of his biggest songs he ever had out there
18:18
because it's a really short song.
18:19
It's not very big but it was the first song that my parents dance
18:22
to. Yeah.
18:24
And what's cool is on the tattoo, the way the notes are
18:26
placed on the staff, it's actually playable.
18:28
So I thought that was really neat.
18:30
Yeah. I thought that was cool.
18:31
You know, the tattoo I told the tattoo artist, just put some
18:33
notes on there but he actually went and looked it up and then
18:36
he actually put the musical note.
18:38
So you can actually play them, you know, if you see him, if
18:40
you're those kind of music people, you know, which I am
18:44
not. I have a memorial tattoo as well
18:47
to my dad, because when I was growing up, he would play
18:51
mandolin. When I was little little, he
18:54
used, To play the banjo and then switch to the mandolin.
18:57
And so hers is a mandolin. Yeah, on her.
19:00
So once again, even music is even represented on our tattoos
19:06
and we have a sleeve of Vegas. And we have musical notes there
19:10
because we got to go see Shakira in concert there with two of our
19:15
friends Sandra. And then we went and saw 30
19:18
Seconds to Mars there with your brother, David.
19:21
So, we have these experiences and music Six people together.
19:25
Well, yes, you can sit there and say, oh yeah, you know, a lot of
19:29
you go back in the day. And so yeah, my friends and I we
19:32
did this and that, you know, at this concert or and it's that
19:35
really great memory. Well hopefully you know, no
19:38
arrests or anything like that. There's those two.
19:42
But it's so interesting too because you can hear a song
19:44
maybe that you hadn't heard in a really long time and it'll take
19:47
you right back to a moment. And I think that that's really
19:50
cool. I mean I remember you know the
19:53
songs that we used to listen. Listen to when we go cruising
19:56
and those kinds of things. So I mean it's really cool how
19:59
you're waiting for you. That's kind of cool too because
20:02
some of that time was with your Aunt Sherry who passed away.
20:05
So yeah, so I mean, when I hear, you know, anything, that's the
20:10
ones that we went to see, we went to see.
20:11
We went to the 90s concert and got to see Coolio and all
20:18
Sultan's HEPA. Those were the big ones when I
20:21
would go cruising with Aunt Sherry.
20:23
Oh yeah. And of course, Coolio my
20:26
ringtone is a gangster's paradise.
20:29
Yeah, and once again, when you think about this and music is
20:34
healing. Hmm, I tell people listening to
20:38
music is such a healing force. It has this amazing ability,
20:43
like you said to take us back into time and even sometimes
20:48
there will be that song that might trigger that memory to the
20:51
Past. Maybe it's not a good memory but
20:53
then you, You can also remember it can trigger you back there,
20:57
but then you also get to come back to this place and you get
20:59
to see that journey and how far you've come?
21:03
I often say you know go back and let you know when you go back
21:06
and you actually sit down and you think about it and you think
21:09
of those songs through your history, those historical songs
21:13
for you that have meaning and relevance and things like that.
21:17
I don't know why. For me for one of my friends,
21:20
her name's me while she's from Osaka Japan.
21:23
When I hear the song, I always think of her, this was from our,
21:26
we were in college and I don't know what it is about that.
21:30
So, well, we dance to it when night, but that song, for
21:32
whatever reason and such a fond memory for me.
21:35
Hmm, it was a brief memory, it's not even like it was a you know
21:39
like a concert or anything like that we were just out we're
21:42
dancing and it was just a fun fun moment.
21:45
And so you know, just even having those moments where you
21:48
start to think about those things and it is that really
21:51
connectivity that it does for us and I know we connect a lot of
21:55
music you know like we said we were just at the Snoop Dogg
21:58
concert which is you know who doesn't love Snoop Dogg, you
22:01
just got that. Cool laid-back, Vibe, you know
22:03
what I'm saying? And of course, T-Pain and the
22:05
Ying Yang Twins, were just phenomenal.
22:08
Yes. Raising concert in every once in
22:11
a while. It's nice to go to go back.
22:14
I thought one of the really cool things that you did for me for
22:16
one of my birthday's. Is I like Chris Isaak I love
22:19
you. Done a bad bad thing.
22:22
One of my favorite songs movies but You surprised me with
22:25
concerts tickets to him and which was really amazing.
22:29
And like I said, it's so neat because we can go back and
22:31
forth. And you know, a lot of times,
22:33
you know, you might hear people say well why are those old
22:35
people still performing those old people are performing
22:37
because their music. Resonates we are big, Ozzy fans.
22:41
Yes. We freaking love y z.
22:44
You know, and he came out with any other loved his new song,
22:47
patient number 9, just and that was one that Jeff Beck was on
22:51
doing guitar on that. And so, once again that raishin
22:54
of stuff and guitar music is really important in Ozzy songs,
22:59
and you can see why in when he when he talks about it when he's
23:02
talking about the Riff. When he's talking about those
23:04
things, you can that passion for that resonates and then when you
23:09
go to listen to it you're listening to that.
23:12
It changes that experience. I think I think so too.
23:15
I always love when to hear interviews with performers and
23:20
that when they talk about the the whole creative process and
23:24
Just the ideas that they come up with and like I said when they
23:28
pull in other people and do these collaborations and
23:30
everything but it's always neat to hear the artist perspective
23:34
on how they came up with this song or why.
23:37
You know one of the things that I really am loving is growing up
23:43
in the Latin culture is that if you wanted to hear that you have
23:48
to actually be listening to a Latin station and now it It is
23:54
so mainstream. We have Bad Bunny.
23:56
We hash Guetta, we have. These are J Balvin.
24:00
There's just so many Narrow Gauge.
24:03
So many Jennifer Lopez is doing like Christina Aguilera, you
24:06
know, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez.
24:08
You know, back in the day they didn't really do a lot of the
24:11
Spanish music now they are because it's become so much more
24:14
mainstream and I absolutely love that.
24:17
So now I can hear that. What I like about it, is it, it
24:20
really goes back to that relationship.
24:22
I have with my, my parents Family having that, you know,
24:26
we've gone to Latin cut. We went to see lost Economist
24:29
Tobias Renee, how many times have I gone to see lost again is
24:32
because and I just want you to know, we go to see lost
24:34
Economist one night. We're Christy and I are tired.
24:37
Where's my sister Linda? She wanted a picture with them
24:41
so bad. Huh, how long did we have to
24:43
freaking? Wait, you stayed up there
24:44
waiting forever but she got her stupid.
24:48
Well, she calls to but man we were tired.
24:50
We were in touch, but she wanted it.
24:52
We State. She got it.
24:54
But that's what I mean. You know, it's so cool.
24:57
That that representation for me for my culture is now there I.
25:06
Yes. Absolutely love it.
25:07
And I love that those that they're collaborating with
25:10
people of different genres. Snoop Dogg did one.
25:14
It's a crossover and it's blending of those cultures of
25:17
that culture through music. Oh yeah.
25:20
I love that that they're, they're doing so much more of
25:23
that and music. Then I have ever heard.
25:26
I listen to some songs that will have several different languages
25:30
in it and I just think that that's so cool.
25:34
Well, I love that with Shakira's.
25:36
She does that she brings in the Lebanese piece of it.
25:40
So it has that more Middle Eastern, sound to it, which I
25:43
really like in songs and, you know, like I said it's just the
25:47
world of music. I think is expanding at the same
25:50
time coming together, if that makes sense.
25:52
It is expand. And I think It creates these
25:55
Bridges between these cultures and that I love that because
26:00
like I said, well, even the, I don't remember, the name of the
26:03
song that the one by SIA. It's got French.
26:06
It's got Spanish, I mean, it's so cool to me that this little
26:09
Montage. Yeah.
26:10
All these collaborations coming together and making music and
26:15
making it, it's different than it's ever been.
26:18
I feel like, and I think that's awesome.
26:20
And I think the cool thing is, and I think that, you know,
26:22
hopefully the listeners where you're listening can Here in our
26:25
voice. The music is part of our happy.
26:28
Oh yes. And I think that's a thing, you
26:30
know? Even when we talk about that
26:32
mental health piece, I was telling people go to those
26:34
places of happy in the fastest place to do that is throw on
26:37
some music, really listen to it. I remember growing up and get I
26:44
remember one of my friends Sherry, she loved Donny Osmond
26:49
and I think Donnie Osmond and at first I was there like I didn't
26:52
know that I went and I said oh okay.
26:54
It's music and stuff like that. So, but I remember even just
26:56
seems like that. Hmm, and then you put music in
26:59
musicals and that's even great. Moulin Rouge is one of my
27:03
favorite musicals, but then we watch the greatest showman.
27:06
And we started really watching more of the musicals because of
27:10
that, of course, is just went like right out of my head.
27:14
I started seeing it when he did Hamilton.
27:18
I watch that and I fell in love with the idea.
27:24
Use the cover was just amazing and I think I have more of a
27:28
passion for that then you sometimes and I'm not sure.
27:31
Would you agree? Yeah, I think so.
27:33
I mean I do there are certain ones that I love probably Moulin
27:37
Rouge is probably my favorite of any of those but yeah, I do like
27:41
musicals and that and I enjoyed Hamilton to but I just I don't
27:46
know. I do you notice the difference?
27:48
I love Hamilton. I enjoyed Hamilton.
27:54
For me. But yeah, I did enjoy them,
27:57
which is weird to me. Because in my head, I think
27:59
she's such a lover of Music. How can she not just love even
28:03
theater because of the music? It baffles me.
28:09
No, I do enjoy them. I just, I don't know.
28:12
I love that she goes back to. I do enjoy them and I think
28:15
that's what it is. So once again, it baffles me
28:17
just a little bit because of her love and passion for this, I
28:21
wonder how is it? Because I don't know.
28:24
If it's the style of music or if it's the musical itself or what
28:28
that is. But you know I keep telling her
28:30
we're going to go to the theater, we're going to do some
28:32
musicals. We're going to because I just
28:34
think there's something different about theater to
28:36
because the meat the live music and all of that it just changes
28:39
a little bit but it seems that we get to share and we share
28:44
those passions, with each other, different kinds of genres and
28:47
stuff like that. And we have a client who sends
28:49
you music all the time. Yeah.
28:52
All kinds of music. Yeah, it's really cool but I
28:56
love to it's interesting to hear the different things that people
29:01
like you know they mean and sometimes you hear stuff you
29:05
never even heard before you know that way.
29:07
I mean it's really cool. Then one of the things is this
29:11
was the other funny thing was that we're both on Facebook and
29:14
you know but we don't always know what the other one does on
29:17
Facebook. You know you like different
29:19
things. I like differently.
29:20
Let's know the product here. I am.
29:22
I'm liking all of her stuff. If I really like her stuff and
29:25
then one day, she says that and where they're like, what we
29:28
didn't even, we haven't even talked about this, but here we
29:31
were, you know, following her her amazing voice.
29:35
I mean, as far when it comes to, and, of course, it's so cool to
29:39
me once again because she's Latina and so it's that being
29:45
able to listen to that music in Spanish.
29:46
But she's she does rap. Yeah, she's amazing artist and
29:50
amazing, not just wrapping and she does So she gets it all.
29:54
Yeah, and it was so cool to see that her song is on the Black
29:58
Panther wakanda forever. How amazing is that, you know,
30:03
and we've got to see her in concert.
30:05
She does small venues, which I think is amazing.
30:09
Those people who don't forget their Grassroots.
30:11
You know, they don't forget that, you know, and she talks
30:14
about that. Yeah.
30:15
And a different completely different style of music, but
30:18
really great group is shell. Yes, fheo, yes.
30:23
Yes, and they are amazing. And if you have never heard
30:26
them, you should they are four sisters.
30:29
The drummer does BeatBox. Oh my goodness or nominal at it.
30:34
And, you know, they're more there are local to Colorado and
30:37
now they've expanded out and stuff like that, but their style
30:40
of music. I guess you would say we're more
30:42
like, fulgor, something like that kind of days.
30:45
They write their own music, it's and they're phenomenal because
30:48
they play in the so they're all classically trained.
30:52
So there Sarah Who plays violin? There's Hannah, who does
30:57
keyboard. Mmm, there's Eve who does the
31:01
mandolin electric mandolin, and then there's Liza who does all
31:05
of the percussion stuff in beatbox so it's shell.
31:09
If you haven't heard them, get on in the my favorite favorite
31:15
one of theirs is Melissa remake Shadow.
31:19
Hmm. Oh no, no, okay, Shadow, they
31:21
did a remake A Sandman It was phenomenal.
31:24
Yes, but no, Shadow is in the title and it was on a movie TV
31:30
program. They played it on that.
31:32
And so I'm just a shadow, maybe because the name of it.
31:36
But phenomenal song, we've been fortunate enough to go see them
31:40
a few times in concert and their interaction with the audience if
31:44
you can get two concerts. That's great, right now we're
31:47
hearing it from everybody and we're filling it to concert
31:50
prices, have, it's in, it's sad to me.
31:53
Such a sad thing because you know there's something about
31:55
seeing live performances and stuff like that but the ticket
31:59
pricing has gotten outrageous and so it's made it hard.
32:03
I wanted to take Christina. See Stevie Nicks?
32:05
I Love Stevie Nicks, mmm. Fleetwood Mac Stevie Nicks.
32:08
I'm telling you Devon once again, Christine McVie we lost
32:12
her to that was really sad but I wanted to go take her to a
32:17
concert at Red Rocks and if you have not seen a concert at Red
32:19
Rocks, get out there and do it. I know Christie's looking at me
32:22
like yeah. You've been telling me that I
32:24
have not seen a concert at rocks and I've been here for over 20
32:28
years in Colorado, eventually I'm going to get there, but one
32:33
of the things is that I told her I said I really do want to get
32:37
in. So I was so excited when I saw
32:38
Stevie Nicks coming but the price ticket prices on there
32:42
like this is crazy. Yeah.
32:44
And I don't know if all the rest of you are experiencing that
32:47
too, and I don't know, you know, I get it, we had covid.
32:50
We had all that but it just seems like Astronomically high
32:54
now. Yeah.
32:56
Really really high and I don't know what that's about but I
33:01
know for me, I wish we could get back to it, to it being
33:05
affordable for people and things like that.
33:08
It's disappointing that it's gone up the way that it has.
33:10
I'm really grateful that we've gotten to see the artists that
33:13
we have been able to see in concert.
33:16
Katy Perry was amazing. So was pink.
33:19
Oh God, pink is phenomenal Jan pit bull.
33:23
Janet Janet Jackson is kind of cool.
33:25
Janet Jackson is coming back and Performing now and I was
33:28
watching her clip from her concert I think in Hawaii.
33:32
Oh my God you know Janet Jackson is this really iconic person?
33:35
You know when you did anything can you know she's older now
33:39
sold out. I mean I was there like oh my
33:42
God this is completely full and that's what I love Snoop Dogg.
33:47
We went there. It was sold out.
33:49
Yeah and so Jeana Kara was phenomenal.
33:53
Our she's like a little ball of energy, man.
33:55
I am telling you Jay little, I was so surprised.
33:58
She was only four foot something, when they first
34:01
brought her down, because she came through the, the audience,
34:04
and when they first brought her up there, they were, I thought
34:07
they were carrying her on a, something really low and know,
34:11
she was walking. I was like, what I do.
34:16
It was so weird, but it was so cool because we were so close to
34:20
when they brought her in, you know, we could have reached out
34:21
and touched her. Yeah.
34:23
Yeah. And yeah.
34:24
So that way. And yeah, she was there.
34:25
Like, what is it, like, what are they carrying her?
34:27
I know. She's walking like, wow, I did
34:30
not. And then she gets onstage and
34:32
she has such a huge presence and, and oh my God, that woman
34:36
can make her body move. Like, I don't even know how she
34:39
does it. She breaks all laws of physics
34:41
and everything to me, but you say can't happen.
34:44
Her body can do. Yeah.
34:46
And in. So, you know, once again, it's
34:48
that power of music and it is so important.
34:53
And if you're not spending time, listening to music, then start
34:58
it hitter. So it is.
35:00
So, so healing, I remember, when my mom was in hospice and
35:06
because of her love of Music, we were just go play your music.
35:09
Huh? Mmm.
35:11
And she would love it. Well, she found it very
35:14
entertaining to because the grandkids are coming in and that
35:16
was the during the time that the Nene was really popular.
35:20
And so the kids come in, they play that song and Then they
35:23
danced. She got a kick out of that, but
35:26
it's such good memories and my dad would, you know, one of the
35:31
things I my dad once again, he didn't grow up with music or
35:34
anything like that, but he would so crack me up because he would
35:38
just start singing. And he would sing older songs
35:42
and old Susanna old Suzanne. I don't ask me why old Susanna
35:48
so amazing. But, you know, it's really funny
35:50
because Christy did the music at my parents funerals, which I
35:54
really greatly. Appreciate another is really
35:56
difficult for you, but when we were at the cemetery, my cousin
36:00
who played the music for he does music on my dad's side, he had
36:05
his harmonica. And while we were at the
36:06
graveside, he played old Susanna on his harmonica and it was just
36:11
so amazing and it just kind of brought everything together
36:14
because he got to go out with a little bit of music and wild
36:17
Suzanne. I don't know.
36:18
Maybe it was the work of only ones who knew the worst child.
36:21
Yeah, I don't know why he would just sing that once in a while.
36:23
So I thought it was really cool that he did that but you know, I
36:27
can go back and now I have such a different fondness for that.
36:31
It's such a great memory for me and so you know, I think there
36:35
are those things in the memories that can bring.
36:39
But also, we want people understand their such a healing
36:42
power to music music. You feel it?
36:46
Mmm, you truly. Feel it.
36:48
And we'll talk about this too because sometimes will hear a
36:51
voice and a melee with Evanescence and yes, her voice
36:56
for some, there's something about those voices that I say
36:59
that there's this haunting feel to it, but it creates such an
37:04
emotion, such a feeling. Yes, yeah, it's really cool.
37:09
And, you know, taking that time to, to listen to music, to help
37:15
it to heal you to know. That there's so much value in
37:21
it. Hmm.
37:23
And then talking to him about music.
37:25
I have clients and we'll talk about music and I love that.
37:29
I was talking to one of my clients.
37:30
I was talking to him, in fact about Snow the Product, and he
37:33
was there, like snow, he had already been following her, so
37:36
it was just kind of weird. I'd love talking to him about
37:39
music, but we will be seeing him later today, but I will have
37:44
those clients and we will talk about music in the value of.
37:48
Talk to them or what music is done to help them through so
37:51
many different things. And I think just taking that
37:55
time to let it heal you. And it's not just about healing
37:59
music can bring you Joy. Oh yeah.
38:02
And granted music. And also bring a sadness.
38:05
Hmm. Because I have a lot who will
38:08
they had to break up so they're going to sit there and you know
38:11
listen to every breakup song There is blah blah you know and
38:14
I get there's that moment to sometimes you need that I guess.
38:18
One of my friends made me a CD is when my first relationship
38:22
was ending and it was all the reasons I should.
38:24
It was a how many songs about why it like I should end this
38:27
relationship. And it's funny because that used
38:31
to be a popular thing to do. You know, you make a mix tape
38:34
for somebody that was you know a really cool gesture to do
38:39
something like that. Yeah, I really appreciate it.
38:42
And you know, now what it is is you go and you make a real and
38:44
you put music on, oh, how times have changed.
38:48
No more 8tracks, you know, no more 8tracks.
38:51
You really went back a trap. Yeah.
38:54
Okay. Y'all don't even listen to that
38:56
headed out. 33s, you know what? We used to listen to the record
39:01
player and the 45s, I mean. Yeah man, that is back in the
39:06
day but we hey, record players are coming back.
39:09
Y'all. They are vinyl, is coming back,
39:12
such a cool sound. I mean it's a different thing
39:15
here. The instrument different, to me.
39:17
Yeah, you know. And And even that they don't do
39:20
music the same way because a lot of it's done computerized and
39:22
stuff like that. And you know, we talked with
39:24
friends and stuff like that and missing the heat really hearing
39:28
the instruments and all of that stuff that went into making
39:31
music 30 Seconds to Mars, we used to watch them and watch the
39:36
process of music and stuff, and how all that was important and
39:39
how it would come together and things.
39:41
So it's just really one of those fun things, but most
39:44
importantly, it is the healing of it is when we do Listen to it
39:49
and we were truly let it come to us and and move us in the way
39:55
that it maybe it's meant to move us.
39:57
What can be, you know, can rejuvenate you and all of those
40:01
things and I think sometimes, you know, music helps set
40:04
people's intentions and things. I mean sometimes, you know, you
40:08
put on a song just to get into that creative headspace, you
40:12
know, people do that too. And it is.
40:15
And so I guess today, The message is is to find that music
40:23
that truly helps us to heal, whether it's healing to feel
40:27
alive, the happiness in it, understanding that music has the
40:31
ability to move us through emotion.
40:34
I mean, it can take us every single place of emotion and in
40:40
doing so that shows you the power of something, the power of
40:45
music to take us through emotion.
40:48
To bring us up, bring us down and everything in between that
40:54
is power and but to use it. And how many times in my
40:59
practice that we have used music as a healing tool music to deal
41:06
in grief and loss music to take us out of those places of trauma
41:11
or whatever, that is music to communicate.
41:14
I mean, they even yes, music with the hearing impaired.
41:18
Through the vibration different thing.
41:20
You know what they can pick up through that.
41:22
I mean, it's it's really cool to take here.
41:26
Even, you know the therapeutic piece of what they can do with
41:31
music. So, you know, take a moment, I
41:35
think it should be daily, but hey, let's not push it.
41:39
But take a moment and maybe go down memory lane because that's
41:44
always a fun thing, or explore the new stuff out there.
41:48
And sometimes we don't think it's our cup of tea, and then
41:50
sometimes we find it can resonate with us.
41:53
Keep an open mind. Absolutely.
41:57
There's healing power and so many things but music is
42:00
something that is right at our fingertips.
42:03
You know, it is right there and maybe you can't attend a
42:07
concert, but you can listen for free, lots of times.
42:10
And now you can stream concerts all of those things.
42:14
You know, we've the world to music is opened up to us.
42:17
So So take time, listen to some music, pay attention to what it
42:24
does to you, how it resonates with you, what it does.
42:27
If you find that music that uplift you and then you're
42:29
having those moments where you're down, do you know where
42:31
to go to get lifted up, or sometimes you just need to take
42:34
that trip down memory lane or whatever to have.
42:37
That nostalgic feel you get to do it.
42:39
It's all through music. Sometimes you just want to hear
42:42
