Drinker's Hour with Jay Franze
Who remembers Vonray the band? I'm so thankful Jay Franze introduced them to me, and now to you! Jay remembers going to see their shows in the early 90's, when he was in the prime of his life. Jay used to live in Orlando when he was starting out in his music producing career and can remember grabbing a beer with friends and listening to their sets. One of the songs they often sang was Drinker's Hour. Jay spent many years on the production end of music in Nashville. But how did he get from Orlando to Nashville? It's an pretting inspiring story of fate "granting wishes" for Jay. He was always a fan first but became friends with Vaughan and Dave Rhea and have stayed in touch. Jay has a podcast interviewing his guests about what goes on "backstage" of the industry. He had The brothers on to talk about their experience in the music industry. And I was flattered to be invited onto Jay's show as a co host to talk to Dave about THIS song Drinker's Hour. I hope you'll check it out, see below for a listening link in the full show notes.

Hallelujah with Andrew Cloninger
Andrew was used to surfing the radio airwaves to find great music. He and his brother loved having a radio in their bedroom. So naturally, in '94, when his family moved from Michigan to Rochester, NY, he wanted to see what new stations he could tune into. He came across WBER and his life was changed. He heard "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley! He couldn't wait till it came on the radio again so he could share it with his younger brother. Eventually, he was able to record it onto a mix tape and share it with his new friends.

Wait For Me with Kay Cote
How does a girl from North Dakota get addicted to EDM? And who says how old a memory has to be to qualify for this podcast? When I reached out to Kay to set up our interview this is what she had to say about her selection for this episode "Steve is my favorite EDM DJ and producer. He is from Germany and creates progressive house, trance and euphoric tracks." In the midst of starting her new career, she commented on social media to Steve about his music, and would you believe, he replied? This song has such a positive beat and restores Kay's hope for love, humanity, and that you can heal from heartbreak. It was Basement Jaxx, Calvin Harris, and Skrillex that first caught her ear. In 2013, she feels like EDM helped her to find herself again and it seems as though EDM is working in Kay's life to do the same thing now!

Fighting Demons, Dropping Jewels with John Kimble
In three short years my guest today, John Kimble, went from robbing homes, committing felonies and doing drugs to understanding how to positively motivate himself and others. He remembers this song because the crowd he was surrounding himself, is who introduced him to it. At that time he loved the vibe it gave off. It was like a hype song for them before they misbehaved. But now? Now? Let's just say his dad wasn't happy with what John had been up to so he was punished with early wake-ups and going to work with his dad. John can see this as his father's love now and appreciates what he did for John. John considers Wess Watson his mentor. "Once you are aligned on that path and you're listening to someone else who is on that path, it's collective conscience." I was so blown away by the wisdom this Eighteen-Year-Old shared that I wrote down SEVENTEEN quotes. Just good advice for me to continue to reflect on. John said, "Age is in wisdom not in numbers." And he is proof of that!

All Too Well with Priscilla Brooke
Did you know originally only a 5:29 min version was released of All Too Well? But long-time Swifie fans like Priscilla Brooke knew there was a longer version. She hung in there and sure enough Taylor Swift released the full version...NINE years later! And this was the version Priscilla chose to share memories about. This long version is much like the long time she's been a fan as she and Taylor "grew up together." All Too Well is on the Red album released in 2012, which of course Priscilla rushed to the store to buy along with a fabulous tube of red lipstick! But what she really remembers is her senior year at UNF here in Jacksonville, FL. Listen as she shares and explains what this song means to her and the memories her mind is filled with when it comes on unexpectedly these days.

This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) with Rob Kassees
This is the first band, Talking Heads, that Rob Kassees remembers claiming as his. And this is one of the first songs, This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody), that Rob remembers standing out to him. Remember back in the day there wasn't instant access to your favorite songs. He liked getting the greatest hits of bands so he could really see what they were like. Soon he and his core group of friends were hooked on Talking Heads too. They all loved the artistic music style as well as their videos on MTV. Talking Heads were really taking advantage of the new platform. Do you remember seeing Talking Heads on MTV? Listen as Rob explains that time in his life as well as him and his buddies reconnecing in California, forming a band, longing for is wife while listening to this song far away from home, and his current podcast where he got to dissect this song with his buddies.

You've Got a Friend In Me with Ashley Bagni
"Our friendship will never die..." I can see Ashely Bagni and her friends singing this song in her '89 Toyota Camry in high school. If you don't know the song it's "You've Got a Friend In Me" from the movie Toy Story. Ashley had the fortune of being friends with the same people in high school that she had in elementary school. How cool is that? They played on the high school basketball team and loved this song in the movie Toy Story as well as the movie. But once they got cars...they were playing this song a lot. When this song comes on she's reminded of a carefree time of life without so many responsibilities yet. Ashley connects with this song in a second season of her life. She's stayed in touch specifically with one of those friends. They both have children about the same age and shared Toy Story with them. Hear Ashley explain the relationship she has with her son EJ now and what EJ loves about this song. If you are a parent I'm sure you too resonate with the line "There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you." like Ashley does.

9 to 5 with Lisa Woodruff

9 to 5 with Lisa Woodruff
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 refining her business and systems to now offer Organize 365 to other hard-working women so that they can calm the overwhelm. You gotta hear everything she had to say about this song relating to her business and life. She shared a ton of realizations and inspiration you just may need to hear. Lisa has been growing her business over the last 12 years and identified 3 seasons of 9 to 5 and what each one looked like. Within Organize 365, Lisa has offered an impactful conference, if you will, called Embrace. Embrace is an opportunity for women to self-reflect and discover what they are uniquely created to do in this long life as we discussed. Lisa used this song at Embrace. Just like Dolly Parton, she's successful, driven, down to earth, doesn't take herself too seriously, and offers a lot of grace to women through her business and podcast.

Southeast First with Paul Wallash
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 not nearly cool enough to be listening to Hot Water. Thus growing his love for Hot Water and the positive messages of their music.

Where Will You Go with Amani Roberts
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 You Go" by Babyface. Amani can remember being in high school when he hears this song. He can remember her name, his crew, the school dances, and even his childhood bedroom. Amani is a DJ so he was able to recall a lot of popular artists at the time he was in high school. He reminisced about all the different posters and record albums on the ceiling of his, in the attic. Amani loved the B side of this album with all the slow songs. All those songs that make you feel. And now when he hears them he feels, he feels nostalgic. I'm sad to report no additional information about this song on Song Facts.

Live and Let Die with Asher Laub
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 remember taking lessons at 3 but pictures prove it was more like 2 years old! But now, Asher is an electric violinist, composer, and dancer/performer. He tends to connect more to the Wings version. He appreciates, as a composer, the simplicity and complexity and how it appeals to a wide variety of people. He loves the inspirational message of "Work hard and be the best you can be." He also simply loves the way the song makes him feel... nostalgic. Can you relate?

Dancing in a Burning Room with Lee Piatelli
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 before it's publicly over. We get stuck in safe and changing that can be scary. At some point, one person "calls it" and it's time to move on. The important thing is that we learn from our mistakes in relationships and not repeat them. John Mayer puts so much emotion into his songs. Lee enjoys this song to evoke emotion or simply to feel emotion. He has quite an appreciation for it!! Lee pointed out that he has such a talented band supporting him, it's hard not to produce, and play live, amazing music. Lee knows a good band bc he is a singing drummer out of Nashville. You often can find him on Broadway playing with the likes of Nick DeLeo, and he's played in the past for artists like Ry Bradley and Derek St Holmes. Lee actually loves the live version of this song off of the live album "Where the Light Is." It was recorded in L.A., 2007 and released in 2008.

Indigo with Gerard Longo
Be the change, that's how Gerard Longo feels about life and that is the message of the song Indigo by Dirty Heads. He appreciates this song encouraging you to go against the grain and do what makes you happy. Indigo the color stands for tranquility, harmony, confidence, and integrity. When you are working in alignment with your passions you experience tranquility and harmony. He has a company that does just that for talented people in the music industry. Gerard is also happy to be an example to his nieces and nephews about being an entrepreneur with confidence and integrity. He hopes to be an example but also save them some hard lessons by going through them and finding better ways first! He started with a blog in Pennsylvania about the local Indy music scene. Then he started a podcast about the music scene. And now, has now grown into a company with employees and they are getting ready to explore other markets.

Steal My Sunshine with Andy Frye
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 bands. Andy's wish is to see some bands from the 90's that aren't around anymore and bands that he didn't get to see.

Linoleum with Allen Halas
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 years as a band this year and going out with a bang by way of an epic tour. Allen can remember he and Tom out skating any free moment they had. They build some not-so-sound ramps and tried to improve their skillz. They were neighbors and skating buddies for many years. Allen has over 15 years in and around independent music, formerly as a producer, and eventually a writer and content creator. He feels punk rock always has and always will influence his life in some way!

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 the way, they blared this music and enjoyed fresh air with the windows down. It reminds Wes of good times, has so much character and it's a timeless song. Wes appreciates this song because it's like it's painting a picture with sound. He knows about all the complexity of mixing and composing a song like this because he too is a singer and composer. Wes has plenty of his own music that he uses to paint with sound. He explains his music as alternative cinematic.

I knew there was something I really liked about Bielefeldt! Turns out she's from IA and knows what it's like to save up your babysitting money to go get the latest music at MusicLand! April has followed Duran Duran throughout her life and shared her love of the song "My Own Way." April remembers finding out about Duran Duran from her cool school-aged friends. Then in college, her and her artsy friends would enjoy new music together. Now April is a photographer in Las Vegas. She has photographed many bands. When the talent is exactly cooperating, she uses this song to give herself the confidence to run the shoot her way. She also likes to use it to set the vibe of the photo shoot. Maybe she plays in the background or maybe it's just running through her head to get herself in the right headspace!

Play Me That Song with Alex Flores
Alex is a reserved guy that just never worked up the guts to tell his crush that he liked her! Listening to his story I felt like I was watching a movie that I would shout at the tv screen! She was just a few miles away in a town N of him. His band would hire her dad to run the sound for them. And she was always so interested in the lyrics he was writing for his next song! They hung out a lot in small-town FL. He found it difficult to bring up the heavy conversation of (George Straight sang it best) "Do you love me? Do You want to be my friend? Well, if you do, check yes or no." Alex listens to a lot of Indy music and happened to come across this demo song, "Play Me That Song" by Brantley Gilbert, at age of nineteen. He just felt like this song was parallel to the life he was living. So where is Alex now and did he end up with the girl?

When I heard my guest, Rob Walch, singing on his podcast, I knew I had to have him on my podcast! He jokes about how bad his singing is and shared a pretty funny story about him trying his hand at karaoke! Rob loves the entire Chris De Burgh collection. So, I love that Rob chose the song "Don't Pay the Ferryman" by Chris De Burgh. Rob discovered Chris De Burgh in the 80's, while folding pizza boxes at Satelite Pizza, and it's stuck with him throughout his life. You see, Satelite Pizza had MTV, and Rob's house didn't. You could rest assured after Rob's shift there were plenty of boxes ready for the next day's orders. Rob had just finished reading "The Clash of the Titans" and couldn't believe this song was singing about the Ferryman!! Rob was hooked right then and there and checked out all music by Chris De Burgh. Now, this wasn't something he was bragging to his bros about in high school, but he sure would share it with the ladies to show his softer side.

Sunshine perfectly describes Kelsey Breton! She is a ray of sunshine herself living in the "Sunshine State" with her husband and dog - Zoe. This dog lives a better life than me with so many walks and all the attention!! Kelsey was a ray of sunshine in the education system as a speech and language pathologist. While she was transitioning to photography she was a little low on energy at times. Music got her through those times of doubt and the need to keep pushing, which sometimes required a dance party. At the beginning of 2022, Kelsey was able to realize the goal of doing photography full-time. She is now fully living her Ikigai as she has found her passion, which is something the world needs (a photographer to make the most magical day of your life filled with her bright personality) and they pay her for it!

Blame It On the Mistletoe with Colleen Orender
I love the scene in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where Chevy Chase is in the attic and he steps on board after board that hits him in the face. I used to almost pee my pants over that part. This music video for Blame It On the Mistletoe reminds me of the sentimental scene that follows the slap-happy board face-smacking scene. Clark found old family movies and he's reminiscing. Colleen was purposeful in having the video have that feel as well as a nostalgic timeless feel to the song. Colleen used her contacts during the pandemic to get this video created. She remembered asking a bandmate and his wife to do a kissing scene since you know, no actors during the pandemic were going to do a kissing scene, LOL!! Colleen shared about the venue, The Standard, in which the video was recorded. Colleen has performed there many times and met a lot of stars throughout her singing career. She had her friend, Nikki Williams, sing back up on this song. Nikki has some pretty impressive chops and is the go-to in Nashville for songwriting. Colleen gave the inside scoop as to how she and Nikki became friends. Nikki was all too happy to back up Colleen. I hope you all check it out but I don't hope for you to get it stuck in your head for a week, like I did! I "blame it on the mistletoe...." This is on my personal Christmas playlist and will stay there for all future Christmases.

Over and Done With with Zachary Anderson
Can you imagine passing a child, singing about virginity, in the grocery store? Well as an only child Zachary Anderson loved The Proclaimers. And they just happened to have a new song out titled "Over and Done With" and Zachary wanted the album. So what did the mom of an only child do? She got it for him of course. She was a little shocked by the lyrics but kinda liked the music too. Plus when Zachary had to get glassed his mom made it cool by saying that The Proclaimers had glasses too! Who knew Zachary would grow up learning the guitar and even going to college for commercial guitar at Belmont college? Zachary ends up meeting M.C. Cunningham, a past guest of mine, and they formed the band The Dreaded Laramie. They initially formed their bond over Weezer and the rest of the story is still being written. With a proper band in place, they are achieving goals together and rising to the top. This was a fun interview learning about Zachary, how he enjoys this song still, and how the band got its name.
