Ep. 22 9 to 5 with Lisa Woodruff
Memories With A Beat
What song does a successful female CEO resonate with? Yep, "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton. This is a movie Lisa Woodruff, CEO of Organize 365, saw when she was younger and it imprinted the idea of a successful woman on Wall Street working 9 to 5. And, yes, we reminisced over some of those classic 80's movies. But as she became a teacher and then a mom, she realized a couple of things. Women work way more than just 9 to 5. And sometimes you work your 9 to 5 so you can go home to work on your true passion, that thing you are uniquely created to do. She has slowly been developing and...

Southeast First with Paul Wallash
Memories With A Beat
When you can't understand the words...do they matter? I tend to think yes! Paul Wallash loves music where the "singer" is screaming the lyrics. What he really loves is the energy it creates. Nothing was better than the first time he got to hear this song, "Southeast First" by Hot Water, live. The band is so good at building excitement and then it's a bunch of Pos-A-Rock fans jamming out! Paul remembers being much cooler than his older brother who he originally took the CD from. Paul and his older brother's friend, Neil, would chat music and knew he was...

Where Will You Go with Amani Roberts
Memories With A Beat
The dreaded "friend zone"...when you really like someone and they like you too, but they are unsure or too afraid the friendship will change, they "friend zone" you. I mean sometimes they just aren't into you and you are in the "friend zone", LOL! This song may be able to help you out. Or this song may be able to say what you want to say. Amani Roberts, a true hopeless romantic, my guest today, suggested that if you get the girl with this song...it'd be a pretty slick move to play it on your anniversaries too! He's smooth ladies!! I talked to Amani about his song choice "Where Will...

Live and Let Die with Asher Laub
Memories With A Beat
Which band did you think of when you saw the song name "Live and Let Die"? My guest Asher Laub, as a boy, loved the Guns N Roses version because it made him feel so "Bad A$$"! It's hard to sing the line melancholy after all. He remembers his cool friend Mark playing it and Asher wanted to listen to what Mark was listening to. They played pool, footballl, and you know all the games kids play. This song comes on and Asher is in his childhood yard (which he only moved 2 blocks from as an adult) and the gang is there playing ball. Asher comes from a musical family. He can...

Dancing in a Burning Room with Lee Piatelli
Memories With A Beat
We've all been in a relationship where we weren't our best selves. Lee Piatelli, my guest, is reminded of a relationship like that when he hears John Mayers "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room." This song really alludes to the end of a relationship. Sometimes we aren't ready to see that it's over. Have you ever hung on to a relationship you knew was ending? Lee remembers both of them getting comfortable. He can look back now and see they were just going through the motions. Sometimes it's hard to leave comfortable! And that's why I always say a relationship is over...

Steal My Sunshine with Andy Frye
Memories With A Beat
Andy Frye likes to say this song, Steal My Sunshine is the perfect bookend to the 90's. When you live in Jersey, at the end of the school year everyone heads to Ocean City or Wild Wood. Andy kinda knew he wasn't going to get an invite to join friends. Steal My Sunshine lends to the idea of FOMO, Fear Of Missing Out. Andy did have FOMO as he and his family headed to Bermuda and his friends, he'd rather be with, headed to the shore!! Andy is such a fan of music from the 90's that he wrote a book "90 Days in the 90's" where his fictional characters get to go to all kinds of...

Linoleum with Allen Halas
Memories With A Beat
Nothing better, when you are an aspiring skateboarder, than listening to what the cool kids listen to, while they rip on their skateboards! Allen Halas chose to share his memories to a song called "Linoleum" by NOFX. Feel free to have a laugh on me when I introduced the band on this episode! LOL This song was popular in the 90's, although Allen first heard it in 2000, and rightfully so with a similar sound to Green Day, The Offspring, and Rancid. This is one of their most popular songs. It was sung the loudest at a concert and their fastest song! They are celebrating 40...

White Ferrari with Wes Harris
Memories With A Beat
Frank Ocean, does that name ring a bell? He's a songwriter, singer, and rapper. He got his start as a ghost writer and that's one of the many things my guest, Wes Harris, likes about Frank Ocean that he doesn't need the spotlight. AND he's the artist who sings White Ferrari. Wes is a big fan of Frank Ocean and you will be too after you hear this song. We feels like he can fly when this song hits the airwaves. This is the perfect road trip song, White Ferrari, and Wes knows all about that. Wes was fortunate enough to enjoy a road trip, to Nashville, with his good friend. Along...

Live Like a Warrior with Bryson Tarbet
Memories With A Beat
Need a pick-me up? THIS is the song! Ever feel like your day has been a dumpster fire? The song Bryson chose encourages you to take that day - throw it in a fire and let go! He is an Elementary Music teacher that has had his fair share of dumpster fire days! When he hears this song he is proud of himself for not letting them determine his future. Instead, he can remember all the times he used his strength to let go and choose to let the new day be fresh.
