Hello world, welcome to WFHR's Directors Cut for this January 7th, 2024, session 44,
our first of the new year's set. Oh my gosh. This is over a year now since we we started the show and we're in oh my I'm sorry, I'm shutting down. Yeah, but you can't get around it, man. I put about the spot. That's why we asked the best listeners in radio to welcome to the WFHR stage local town, amazing Rinder Singer and third place finisher of the 2023 Huzel's rise music singing competition, our great friend Jordan Bain. Hello. Hey Jordan. How you doing, man? Great. How are you? Doing good. Doing good. Thanks.
Thank you so much for being here again. I'm really happy we were able to make this work. I am a little surprised it happened within the time frame because between our schedules, bro, I don't know how we're going to do this. I'm really happy to have you here. Before we dive into an update and find out how your summer was, some of that want to talk about Huzel's what was that experience like what did you take from that wonderful event? Yeah, I first of all just want to say thank you to everyone who was part of that event. It was a great, great experience. A great thing for all
local artists in Wisconsin who want to showcase their talents and network. So that was a big part of it for me was just the experience of first of all being able to sing in front of some of these judges. And they did a great job this year of getting some judges from, you know, like Nashville and it was really a cool experience to hear them give their feedback to these different artists, including myself, a mental lot. And then to get to network with some of these other artists from around the area,
it was huge too. And just we were all, it was a great, a great vibe. We were all kind of cheering each other on. You know, it was very, very friendly, very fun. And just a really great experience. And then I got to go sing the national anthem at a rafters game here in town. That was wild. That was probably the most pressure I've ever felt on any performance. Like you have to nail that song. Right. Yeah. Not nail that song. But that was a cool experience too. So, you know, just really
really, really wonderful. So you've never done anything like that before the national anthem, something like that. Not that. No, I mean, I, and it's funny. You know, I sing in front of people all the time in bars and things like that. But if it's just a cover song or even your own song, you don't have to nail it. But I've just seen so many videos like the infamous ones of Fergolicious or Rose Ann Bar. It's because he was such an amazing athlete. Yeah. I feel like I don't think I've ever been
seen many people that were as talented as he was. But you asked him to throw a baseball or sing the national anthem. And it's like, no, he says, he's me. He said, you know, he's me doing it. It's it's interesting. That also seems like not only an added pressure to it, but also certainly the, the depthness, a depth of the song. You know, you don't have to be overly patriotic for it to hit you. Yeah, it's a meaningful song. And I mean, in reality, when I got there and thought about it on the day, I'm like, well, everyone's just kind of eager to watch their baseball game. They don't actually care.
That much about how I do. They don't know me. But yeah, I was all on my head before the performance. I was like, okay, because I don't have a, you don't have an instrument with you either to keep you in key or anything like that. So, and I was thinking, okay, when I get to the high note for the land of the free. I'm like, I have to, I can't, my voice can't crack when I hit that note. It has to be strong and hit it. So I'm thinking about, okay, where do I need to start the song? And I started it in a lower register.
So that by the time I got to the high part, it wasn't so high. My voice could hit it. Very cool. Very smart. Very smart. I got to some years back throughout a first pitch for the rafters. And I come from a very athletic family. I told my dad this. And he got so excited. And we're practicing and we're practicing. I get out there. And I, I've actually played on that field. The rafters play on, I went to school at East. And I, you know, it went there and used that field. I got on that diamond. I swear it was a billion miles away. Right. And I never thought
I was throwing a baseball before in my life. And I got up there and I, I go, I release, I felt great. I felt so good about it. And then I watched as the ball started to go way above the catcher. And I, I don't remember the, I gotta wish I remember his name, the catcher's name. I, he, I had to look it up afterwards. He was 5'11". Because in that moment, he was 7'5". He caught the ball. I don't know how he saved me because I looked bad. It looked bad. I would have been in the car, a Louis situation right there. It's one of those things where you get a chance to do these things for your kids.
It's a community and it's so much fun. The, we've talked about this before. That anxiety is, is not necessarily a bad thing. It lets you know that you're invested, that you care. Is, is, was that similar, that feeling that you have for the, the National Anthem? Is it anywhere similar to maybe your first time on stage or other moments on stage? For sure. Yeah. And I've told that. Actually, I got to talk to a couple of younger up and coming performers at the Huzzles event too.
And I kind of jumped right in the old man mode where I'm giving them advice. Like, hey, you're just getting started. It's okay to be nervous. And I would tell them stories about how, yeah, I mean, for many of my first shows, I would have to be in the bathroom for half an hour before the show or whatever. You know, it's like, because even the, what are now regular, small routine gigs to me felt hugely important. Yeah, right.
So, yeah, it's been a while since you joined us. Actually, I was looking it up in April 9th was the last show when you were with us last Jordan. Do appreciate that. And we're getting closer and closer to making your house band. So every, every time you join us, we're a little bit closer to that. I don't know if you read that the contract. But yeah, that's, that's one of the heavy lawyer look at that. But I want to get an update. I want to see how your summer was. What's been new with you? Well, I had a lot of eventful things this summer. So, this past year, I actually,
got a booking agent, which sounds, sounds important. But it's a wonderful person who is providing a great service shout out to Judy Van Guilder, Northern Lights Entertainment. And she books are all over the state and just kind of has connections with a lot of venues all over central northern Wisconsin, all over the place. So I played a heck of a lot of gigs this summer and traveled all over the state, which was really great.
And some of them, you know, my family would come with me and we'd make a day trip of it or a weekend of it. And it's like, okay, let's go here, stay at a hotel for the night, go visit the zoo the next day or whatever.
So a lot of gigs this summer. And then the other, you know, big piece of news was that my, I was formerly the lead singer of a local band called Save Point. And that came to an end this year.
And so now I'm moving on to the next phase, working, focusing on my solo stuff and kind of also been collaborating with some different artists locally here just in the past six months. So we'll see what comes to fruition from that. But it's been a good, very busy eventful summer.
How have you been and I'm really happy to hear that man. That's cool. It's especially the idea when you can combine your passion with your family, you know, they can be along for the ride and those things. That's a win, win, the definition of a win, win, really.
Have you been enjoying because I've never been a part of something like that where you're in a band and you're not a part of it anymore for whatever the reasons are.
But to me, as a layman, thinking of something like that or even thinking of shows I've been a part of and when they end and they wrap up and that, you know, it can be melancholy.
There's a part of me that is happy to have my afternoons back or or my nights back and stuff. There's little things like that. But then there's the other part of I miss seeing my, my cast members or something.
You get through that process. How are you at the end of that? Where are you now with that? Sure. Yeah, the band, we wrote some great music together.
And I learned a lot from those guys and I'm very grateful for that time. So definitely got to improve my chops in a lot of ways, gain some musical knowledge, songwriting knowledge, music theory, all those things from those guys.
But yeah, when it came to an end though, definitely there was a feeling of relief actually. Yeah, where it was like, okay, I don't have to. It's a little bit like a job and a marriage.
All in one and it's a lot of effort to keep it just functioning.
So, so yeah, there was a lot of relief when it came to an end and some sadness too.
And yeah, but there were some, some big things that happened this summer, you know, part of the way that the group ended up splitting up. Unfortunately was, I wish I could say it was a calm, a peaceful way, but it was more like a scene out of a movie actually was like, you know,
there's always that scene in those rock documentaries like Johnny Cash, where the original band members that he's playing with all kind of turned him and go, you know, he's, he gets some taste of something maybe success or something.
The panel goes, Johnny Cash, you dirty dog, you wouldn't be here if it weren't for us, you know, and it was kind of one of those things unfortunately. And so it was surreal. It was very surreal. And actually in the in the moment when we broke up.
When the man kind of looked at me and basically gave me that kind of a feedback, I just was, I was kind of outside myself in the moment. I said, wow, this is, this is really trippy, but for a while I had been the sort of, you know, how Aaron Rogers couldn't decide if you wanted to come back to the Packers the last few years, I was that guy in our band, though, I kept being the one who's like, I don't know, maybe we should think about doing other things.
So in a way, like I said, it was kind of a relief.
Daddy, he don't care about me.
And he ain't watching over us.
In my eyes I'd die away.
In my lungs I surf okay.
In my veins your blood still flows.
And in my heart I can't let go.
Jesus walked into the sea.
He's grown tired of his life.
And Daddy, he don't care about me.
And he ain't watching over us.
And you can't drown me in your sun today.
Just cause your whole world is black.
You know I ran right out your front door.
I never come in back.
And in my eyes I'd die away.
In my lungs I surf okay.
In my veins through and through.
And in my heart I know it's love you.
I appreciate, well I just appreciate you in general.
And I love talking with you man.
One of the things the reasons we do is because of the
genuineness, the vulnerability, the honesty that you not only do
with our interviews but with your lyrics and that.
So I really appreciate that answer.
I also don't think one of the things we do with this show
certainly putting a spotlight on local artists and that.
So used to that scene you're talking about.
We're so used to that.
But we don't have the kind of the thoughts inside a person's head
or some of the things you just shared with us.
I think that only not only creates empathy more for our world
and our artists and the creative worlds coming together and stuff.
But it adds more to the show for us.
When we're hearing you play these things come into effect.
They mean more.
And I think a lot of us do.
But when you're creative you have to find a balance.
You have to share.
You don't get a real choice in that.
Whether it's for you with your song lyrics or some of the
answers you give us today.
With us in radio for Seth and I it's sharing parts of our
personalized we might not do with friends of ours sometimes.
But we do on the air because that's how you build a bond.
Yeah.
Building that bond with the audience.
For you, does it begin with the lyrics?
Does it begin with you getting on that stage?
How does that's something that you built?
Yeah.
Definitely.
When I do sing an original song, I think it's very palpable.
The difference between how it feels to the audience and how I'm
coming across between that and a cover song.
And I'm not always aware of it but they tell me that they can
tell the difference.
Yeah.
So even at Huzel's, for example, I sang an original song and I
did a couple of rituals and I was so happy that some of the
artists that performed in that Kyler, Kuzio, being one of
them, I can't remember who did the first original song but
whoever it was and they got a good response from the judges
and from the audience.
Then I remember in my mind because I hadn't decided what my
ratio of originals to covers would be during this performance and
I went, okay, they just give me authority to go out there and
do my thing because yeah, the audience definitely responds
and they tell you that they can feel the difference in your
passion for that music when it's your own music.
Very coarsher.
Yeah.
We're speaking with Jordan Bain and we're going to talk some more
with Jordan but we're going to hear Jordan when we come back and
let him play some music and we'll get into some questions and plenty
more right here on Directors' Cup.
There's a blue bird at the window, I can hear the song she say
and all the jewels and ever they don't look the same to me
I just wait the time to turn till I learn and leave the past behind
and it's only lies that I'm living, it's only tears that I'm crying
it's only you that I'm losing, I guess I'm doing fine
I guess I'm doing fine all the bad amounts of empty
and the moon is laying low yellow roses in the graveyard
I've got no time to watch them grow old
Now I've paid a friend farewell and I can do whatever pleases me
It's only lies that I'm living, it's only tears that I'm crying
it's only you that I'm losing, so I guess I'm doing fine
I guess I'm doing fine rest my face up to the window
to see how warm it is inside I see the faces I've been missing
missing all this time missing all this time it's only lies that I'm living
it's only tears that I'm crying, it's only you that I'm losing
I guess I'm doing fine
Welcome back to Directors Cut here at WFHR, Seth and James and our good friend Jordan Bane with us again
Jordan appreciate the time
Jordan our last interview as I mentioned earlier was April 9, 2023
you're our first interview of 2024 which is kind of fun for us, pretty cool
you did such a great job, I'm going to ask you the same questions again
because you knocked them out, why should I ask them different questions
I did want to actually ask you a couple of things, I just had some thoughts on it
before we go too far, we were just talking about the summer and everything
and get a chance to ask a follow-up on that, did you have any interesting stories
anything while having the summer?
Yeah, so I had some big experiences this summer, kind of the biggest gig of my life
and it was what was the straw that broke the camel's back with the band actually
so what happened was I had made a contact about a year ago, I did a lot of the outreach
band booking, sales prospecting for the band, social media, graphic design, stuff like that
and I had made a contact with a gentleman who did booking for the VIP club at the Alpine Valley music amphitheater
where the big touring acts come from, and what they do is he explained to me
the VIP tickets are for people who want to pay a little bit more, they can have box seats
and then they get a premium experience where they can hang out in this club before and after the main act
that plays there and Tom Petty has played there, Pearl Jam has played there
a grateful dad, and the VIP ticket holders can hang out in this VIP club
while the parking lot clears out and they can have some cocktails
and he provides just some background music from a local artist
who may be can play similar music to the main artist
so I made a contact with this person and it turned out that he got a hold of me
about a possible gig and then time went by and I reached out to him and I didn't hear back
and I thought, oh he ghosted me, found somebody else that's fine
and I had said, you know, my band can come and play, I can play solo, we could do a two or three piece, whatever
and he finally got back to me a week and a half before this actual thing out of the blue
and said, are you free to play before the outlaw music festival?
No, the outlaw music festival was Willie Nelson on his 90th birthday
Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin
singing with Allison Kraus
and then trampled by Turtles the excellent bluegrass band
from Duluth, Minnesota, my stomping grounds, yeah, that's right
so he reached out and said, can you can you play, it's a week and a half
now I should mention that everybody in my band are all parents
you know, we were all dads, it's hard to just drop your life and go play
so I said, well for sure some of us can come, you know, I don't know if it'll be the full band or not
and he said, well I don't know if we really want the full band
because the stage isn't that big so probably just one or two of you
and I said okay and so anyway, he basically said, you can come by yourself
or bring a person or two from your band if you want
the pay is the same either way
he said, oh that's all very interesting, okay and let me think about this
I thought about it for a day, I tried to talk about it with some people on me
to think about how I should think about how I should pose into the band
and I'm like, well they'll, it's okay that it's not for all of us
they'll understand and so when I brought that up, this was that thing I told
the slight taste of success because it wasn't actually the biggest gig in the world
but it feels like it is when you're, you know, so it's surrounded by all these legends
but we're not, you know, you weren't going to be on the same stage as them
you weren't going to meet them but you're going to be
how many yards away from them
and you can kind of say, I opened for you really knows it
that's right
so anyway, so that was it and that's what caused the band to break up
they kind of didn't get handled well
and at the end of the day I did go and play that gig by myself
so when you said melancholy, I cannot express to you enough how cathartic
and wild of an experience it was because I went and I played this gig by myself
knowing full well that I could have had at least a band member or two with me
and it was amazing, I mean this was, this was Robert Plants especially
they did a rendition of when the levy breaks
and I cried tears of release from all this stuff
because the band had broken up just like a week prior
and so it was just a beautiful and also sad
and also a lot of emotions mixed together
going down the road feeling bad
I'm going down the road feeling bad
going down the road feeling bad
and I ain't going to be treated this the way
they come in jail on my knees
they come in jail on my knees
they come in jail on my knees
and I ain't going to be treated this the way
they come in jail on my knees
they come in jail on my knees
they come in jail on my knees
they come in jail on my knees
but $2 shoe fits my feet
but $2 shoe fits my feet
$2 shoe fits my feet
and I ain't gonna be treated this way
they feed me on cornbread and cheese
they feed me on cornbread and cheese
feed me on cornbread and cheese
and I ain't gonna be treated this way
and I ain't gonna be treated this way
and I ain't gonna be treated this way
and I ain't gonna be treated this way
and I ain't gonna be treated this way
I think there's something actually relatable about that
I found myself, I bet Seth was thinking of something like similar
where we've been in similar situations
but none of us have necessarily been in the situation
just like that before
as you know, this is some months later and everything
how are you now with it?
because in the moment you're mentioning it's gotta be melancholy
it's the biggest gig of your career
and at the same time you don't have your guys up there
there's that part of the factor
so you can't completely just embrace it
and completely enjoy it, your heart's hurting
at the same time, you gotta be enjoying it somewhat
because you're in a performer, you're creative, this is your world
how are you now with all of that?
the memory?
yeah, no, it was very beautiful, it was very special
I did not meet any of these performers
they did not see me perform
nor did any of their record label scouts
find me and go, you're signed
here's your record, I told you Jordan wouldn't be an end
to getting Alice and Crouse
I tried to tell you this
that's what I thought maybe it could happen
but no, it was just, it was a cool experience
I did have a couple
so at the end of the night I played one of my original songs
I wrote about my son and there was this couple there
actually when I told him I was gonna play an original song
this couple that had been watching me for the night said
it'd better be good because I'm gonna judge your music
the lady said
but then they slow danced to this song
they wrote about my son and they were parents themselves
and she came up and she had tears in her eyes
at the end of the night and said
that was just as good as any of the music we heard tonight
down there from the legends and I was like
okay well that's good enough for me
that was a good thing to take away from the night
so it was really cool
yeah like I said cathartic
and that was the big big experience
aside from that I played gigs all over Wisconsin
this summer that were really amazing
including one where the power went out
and I just kept playing this was in Wisconsin Dells
and the power went out
and the people at the bar didn't want to leave
so I played with no amplification
of any kind just unplugged
and it was like a kumbaya moment
in the dark
couple of cool moments this summer for sure
when it comes to these experiences
how much do they play into the writing process for you?
yeah well for sure with the band break up this past year
I can tell you there's some music that's gonna come from that
I mean that's unavoidable
and frankly break up music is the best music
it just is
so there's something about it
so there'll be some songs coming up
you know there's been lyrics and some some song ideas
coming from that
and yeah just everything
everything all these life experiences
all build into the song writing process for sure
I asked that because one of the questions that I thought of was
we focused so much on the show of the positives
and that's a big part of what we like to do around here
not just at the director's cup at a WFHR
but I think we're almost doing a disservice
if we don't ask certain questions
so I'm curious about a couple of things for one
what is your least favorite part of being a musician?
requests
I hate it
and the truth is
and I really would like to more bluntly say this to everybody
but you don't want to be rude
so the nice thing you say when someone asks your request is
that's a really good suggestion
I don't know that song
but I'm going to learn it for next time
so stop out and see me again
and I'll bust it out for you next time
I won't really
right right right
but no that's a good one
but for everyone out there
the reason you don't walk up and ask your request is
they're not a jukebox
you have a jukebox
in most bars
if you wanted a jukebox
just do that
and then
but then the bar doesn't have to pay a single red cent
to a live performer
so most of us
don't know that many songs
some of us are good enough
we can pull it up on our iPad or whatever
and just play the chords and get through it
but in general
I would say please don't do that
that's a great answer
I wouldn't have thought of that
I wouldn't have thought of that
one of the first MC gigs I did was
the 4th of July street dance here in Rapids
and Book of Niojos
I remember them
it was a great band
a great local band
for a long time
introduced them
and I'm coming off the stage
and they are in through
just wrapping up their first song
the last chords are playing
there's a guy in the crowd
just starting to scream
free bar
free bar
that actually happened
yes
literally
oh my gosh
that was just a joke
I hadn't been around a lot of this stuff before
and as I was watching
I wish I remember his name
but the lead singer for Book of Niojos
he's up there
and he's like
yeah man
he just kept on telling him
it's coming up man
they never played for you
yeah yeah
we'll get to that man
and they go into another song
I thought that was a great response
I like yours
I like that form of it too
it's also something interesting too
I think it's as fans
for us to take in
and us to consider
when we're taking in these shows
and everything
the jukebox comment
I think is a great comment
and I don't begrudge
people you know
having their feelings
or something like that
I've been on stage plenty of times
and had that little old lady comment
and a line that I say
and that kind of stuff
or improv
God it's second city
we haven't happened all the time
where people in the crowd
are trying to interact
with us and everything
but that's part of what
we love about this too
it's the kind of
yin and yang of it
isn't it?
yeah absolutely
yeah it is kind of funny
that it doesn't apply to any other form of performance
like no one's
if you're on the stage
no one's like
do a little fellow
or a little fellow
right someone
do you have one?
do you have one?
hamlet go
yeah that's awesome
my best wish it would happen
just for your
yes
to be or not to be
on top
getting the middle of Oklahoma
bussing to some Shakespeare
I guess
but that's a great point
yeah it doesn't
only applies to this one
you know
there's our stand-up comedie
and up there
hey hey do you have the chicken
across the road
yeah that doesn't happen
to the state of shapel
go
yeah
it's a fascinating point
out of that
that's interesting
yeah
on your skin
may feel cold
but warm is the heart
that you hold
and just know
that all
I'll do
just keep loving you
all I'll do
just keep loving you
sun feel the sun on your skin
and remember your purpose
and
the world may seem
callous and cruel
but trust you
or nobody's
fool
and just know
that all
I'll do
just keep loving you
all I'll do
just keep loving you
and when this world
has gone astray
trust you
it all
I love will remain
and when this darkness
closes in on you
you're holding your
high
I can't allow
the truth
and just know
that all
I'll do
just keep loving you
all I'll do
just keep loving you
all I'll do
just keep loving you
all I'll do
just keep loving you
we're speaking with Jordan Bay
and Jordan
oh just a couple
of other things
as a musician
diversity is definitely one
so when I do play my live gigs
and to anybody who decides to
come out and see me locally here
I can do Britney Spears one song
in Metallica the next
and Hank Williams senior after that
and Weezer after that
so range and diversity
I can do a lot of genres
and have it not feel
too weird or jarring
and there's a few artists
that can do that
Weezer for example
put out a covers album
the teal album where they do
I don't want no scrubs
by TLC
and then they do
happy together by the turtles
and paranoid by
black Sabbath
and it didn't feel weird
because they're that kind of band
that can go in all those directions
okay
now this is going to feel like a job interview
what about your weakness
that you're improving
on that you're working on
probably my guitar playing
I think that's always an easy answer
to give
I'm a chord strimmer
but I'm not a guitar soloist
and I've
paid attention to other bands
and other artists where
it's good to know what those weaknesses are
because I was watching an interview
with Metallica
and I didn't know this
it's always a
from Metallica
he's the guitar solo guy
and they know that within the band
but they have different strengths
James Hetfield is the songwriter
and that's how a lot of songwriters are
we just a lot of us
just play the chords
because it's getting you to an end
it's like I'm strumming these chords
so I can put the lyrics in there
so I can express myself
my goal is never to be
in the world
so yeah my guitar playing
can always get better
not everybody has to be
yingwing mountain or whatever
you say his name
what's the fastest one
yeah I want to
something you said there Jordan
was really fascinating
the whole the difference
why you don't see a lot of songwriters
are like there's a few you know
you think of like a Jimmy Hendrix
yeah but it's the the thing
you said about expressing
finding a way to express yourself
that's the most important thing
that I didn't even
with a songwriter
but that makes all the sense to me
yeah who is it
the Ramones
however I can't remember the guy
yeah a lot of those punk rockers
they just learned like three chords
and it was the same three chords
if you listen back to the Ramones
that's all they needed
okay I just need to be able to sing
over whatever I can do
Johnny Ramone was the guitarist
and he was famous for his hatred
of guitar solos
he hated them that's why he
like the same three chords
that's all he cared about
that's all he wanted to do
I asked those questions Jordan
because we're auditioning for
our house kick now
we've got a number of different people
about the show and everything
and one of the things that I've heard
overwhelmingly is how much people get
not only inspiration but
for lack of a better word direction
and encouragement
from hearing from our artists
from our people that join us
so it's great to hear your successes
and your wins and everything
I want to make sure to also note these
not struggles necessarily
but things that you're building on a working on
so that those artists out there
takes work
and that's appreciated
your honesty with that stuff
see here we have time for one
two more questions
one more bigger
two more questions for your Jordan
what is your process for dealing
with anxiety before stage
you've touched on this a little bit
already but you got my brain going with that
do you have a ritual
do you have something you do
you mentioned that you're in the bathroom
all right so yeah
well with the band I tried to institute
and I never kind of came to be
but I tried to institute some kind of
pre-show ritual that we would do
where I'd be like everybody put their fists together
and one two three go band
or something like that
but that never really happened
I do remember with
so there's two different answers here
with the band and solo
first of all there's your setup time
you have to drive to the gig
because when you're starting off
it's not like you have roadies
you have to drive yourself to this gig
get there in a timely fashion
get your stuff setup
sound check
if you don't leave yourself any time
between that and when you start playing
it's just a lot
it's a lot
let's say two hours
you're setting up your gear
and now go in your playing music
it's just a lot to handle
it's just to give yourself at least some down time
to just go walk around the bar
say hi to a couple people
get a drink
look around
get a feel for what this place is like
that helps a lot
repetition with anything
so anything that makes you nervous
won't after a while
if you just keep doing it
so any job you've ever done
first time you have to talk to a customer
you're nervous because you don't know the product
about or even if you're cashier
whatever it is your first jobs
you're nervous just talking to people
just doing stuff but then you do it again and again
it's not so scary anymore
so I do not have the
the bathroom problem anymore
because it is just like showing up for work
it's like I show up
you
and I do get appreciation for like stand-up comics
too it's like
you start just noticing trends and patterns
and you show up and you kind of feel like
crowd control is a real thing
you show up and you're like
I have to assert myself here
I'm going to take control of this situation
and show them what's up
you start getting
confidence but it takes time
just reps is kind of the answer
great answers man
and also
adaptable to just about anything you do in life
I think that's really cool about that
and you're so right about it
and one of the touch on one last thing
last question to our guests
I like to ask you know
if you could have coffee with any historical figure
and you knocked that out the park the last time you joined us and everything
so I wanted to come up
I racked my brain trying to come up with something more creative
something different than that
so Jordan
if you could play with any
musician in history
current or otherwise
who would you like to play with
very different question
incredibly different
and you may or may not have coffee involved
I mean it could happen
you never know
please say a barista
just the best one
that's hilarious
well I think the last time
we talked about like
I talked about people who are alive
and I said
Paul McCartney
I guess I'll say
I'm just going to be boring and say John Lennon
it's like just another beetle
you know it's like yeah I would
yeah I could hang out with Paul while he's still alive
and then if I dip into the nether realm
I can go hang out with John Lennon
that perfect
and you can punch your beetles
punch card
I'll get all of them
but they're
I think that that answer
and we've had a number of beetles come up with that when we ask that question
and everything
John Paul I think George has even come up
a ringo did once
and it's one of those things where it makes sense when you hear it
like it's a funny answer in some ways
because you know we see it coming maybe
or you you know oh sure that of course
it's an obvious answer
but it's an obvious answer for a reason
because these guys were so amazing
and the music was so incredible
and the further we get away from it
I'm afraid that we lose sight of that sometimes
and I think it's almost on us
the younger generations
the younger fans
for maybe the last time
any of us will open up
to keep that stuff going
when you give answers like that
when Seth and I played
Beatles music on the radio or that kind of thing
I do think that it all adds up
yeah for sure
Kurt Cobain
but now as I get older
and he passed and he was 27
so I'd be meeting up
with a 27-year-old
person with the addiction problems
and I want to say that my mind would be blown
by what I would get from that experience
but I actually don't know that I would
you know what I mean?
he was an amazing artist
but like yeah you got to think about
what kind of conversations would we be having here
and stuff like that
Jordan it's been a blast having you join us
thank you so dang much for being here man
we've really appreciated the time
again you're going to have to come back
I apologize but it's kind of your own fault
you did a great job
I hear your music if they want to follow along
with what your journey and what you're up to
how can they do that?
yeah for now it's facebook.com slash
Jordan Bane music
and keep an eye out this upcoming year
for some solo stuff
to get released on Spotify as well
very cool when that happens
we'll let them know
thank you Jordan we appreciate you
music
never thought I'd feel this way again
just went all home
was love she came
into my world my seas
blew your earth green
simple and sweet
just like a dream
the setting sun
I can't I run
this smoking gun
you are the one
I will be done
I give you the sun
of all my love
of all my love
till kingdom comes
now all those yesterdays
have finished in a haze old memories
now it's gone
by the beauty of today
some days I'll save you
on my steep
and some days I'll
tie you to the tracks
oh but you know
that when you're
be begin to be
I carry away
upon my back
the setting sun
I can't I run
this smoking gun
you are the one
I will be done
I give you the sun
of all my love
of all my love
till kingdom comes
now is there really a one
or even such a thing
as love
or was it simply just that
I was far too young
I even dumb
where does my puzzle be spitting
the seas of life
and where I swim
search for the onion
or could she be
the setting sun
I can't I run
this smoking gun
you are the one
I will be done
I give you the sun
of all my love
of all my love
till kingdom comes
you
