You knew me wrong girl, but still I'm crazy about you.

Stay away too long and I can do without you.

Ever since you get you seem to hurt me more and more?

But it's hurt makes my love stronger than before.

I know flowers grow from rain.

How can love grow from pain?

Ain't that peculiar?

You tear me alive.

You should be obvious to me.

But I'm so much in love that I don't want to see.

The things you do and say are designed to make me blue, baby.

It's a dark old shame my love makes all your lies seem true.

But if the truth makes love last longer?

Why do lies make my love stronger?

Ain't that peculiar?

Think that peculiar?

century?

Ain't that peculiar?

Wait with me.

Think that peculiar?

Aculeos can be.

Think that peculiar?

Why do lies make my love stronger?

Ain't that peculiar?

I tried so much like the child that lost his tone.

Maybe you think these tears I cried, I tears of joy.

I child can cry so much and you do everything they say.

When I'm like the child, my tears don't help me get my way.

I know love can last through the years.

How can love last through these tears?

Ain't that peculiar?

Ain't that peculiar, baby?

That peculiar has to be, ain't that peculiar?

Ain't that peculiar?

Oh, ain't that peculiar, baby?

Oh, ain't that peculiar?

That peculiar, baby?

It's their latest single that they were out.

And singer Jeff Taylor from the altered five blues band.

Just passed away unexpectedly.

But peacefully in his sleep on April 30th, 2026.

There were a lot of people in West Dallas.

I mean, one of his favorite songs.

One of his last singles is I got it good.

You heard it right there.

It feels good to say about it.

And we had them at atwood summer fast.

Probably no less than five times.

He played atwood summer fast.

It was great.

You had me do a story with them for maxing.

That's right.

When we had the music magazine.

And I just remember thinking, wow, these are some great people.

Oh, man.

They are such a great band.

I hope that they can, you know, recover.

I'll find a new singer and do some new projects.

Because the band is awesome.

He was such a great singer.

And we're going to miss him.

This is actually new music from Whitney Mann.

We're talking about Whitney Mann's newest ep electric heart.

You're listening to Maxinc radio.

We are local music.

Music.

I haven't taken by hindsight.

There's no problem.

Do you like the day I should have been?

Like she gave us a shot.

She's got to be in those open dance and run around.

There's a sign picture on a metal.

I'm strong on the moon.

I've been thinking about the future.

I have to miss a little witch.

She says it's freedom in the unknown.

She'll be afraid of it.

There's heart on Fridays.

And I'll always place the wind.

Sometimes you gotta shed your self-love snakes to learn the beginning.

Time moves.

But then looks real calm.

And here it is.

Music.

And I've been thinking about me here.

And I don't know very much.

If I can be hard on myself.

When that pay broke turns rough.

I've done myself for answers.

Gave but not the guy.

I've turned my eyes to the horizon.

And hope for another shot.

Time moves.

But then electric home.

Can you hear it?

Or can you hear it?

Fine.

I have electric hard spots in charge.

Yeah, go in my mind.

Here you go.

You found Wisconsin's local music authority.

This is MagSync Radio.

We are local music.

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to MagSync Radio.

My name is rocker here with Terry Barr and Jane in the controller room.

It is time for live from the mad city.

Jenny is a gymnastics coach from North Dakota.

Mason plays with bricks and built stone walls.

Jenny moved to Madison to start a career in music.

And Mason tore down those walls to give a voice to the outlaw country music in his head.

Then Jenny met Mason.

Mason and Jenny dated.

Jenny and Mason formed a duo called outlaw and a lady.

And later added guitarist Jamie poster.

And Jenny married Mason.

The newlyweds are here in our studio tonight.

Live from the mad city on MagSync Radio.

Presented by the Aaron Weber group, Mason.

Jenny, Jenny, welcome to MagSync Radio.

Hi guys.

That was epic.

Oh my gosh.

That was a stunning performance.

Oh, I was like, how do I put that all together?

Because it's such an interesting story.

So I thought it was like a children's rhyme.

Oh yeah.

Well, in an adult's way.

Exactly.

Oh man, Jenny, Mason, you guys are here.

Did you guys get anything to eat downtown after your sound check?

We're like a foodie town.

You know, we always want to know where you go.

Oh yeah, we went to wings and things.

Wings and things.

We decided to have a smash burger.

A smash burger.

That wings and things.

Oh, that sounds good, boy.

We got more of the thing rather than the wings.

That is perfect.

Well, thanks for having us back rocker.

This is great to be here again.

You bet.

Jenny, you decided on taking new route in life

and making changes in everything to pursue music.

Tell us about your musical journey and coming to Madison.

Oh, I started later in life.

My parents both were musical,

but I didn't pick up on it until five, six years ago.

And just, yeah.

Sorry, I had to.

Wow, because I did get to see

and hear you guys during your sound check.

And okay, you seem like you've been playing music forever.

Well, thank you.

Wow.

I still do on call work with my other career.

But then I put music into the mix of things.

And we record as much as we can locally here in Madison.

We go to Nashville sometimes at Arizona.

Oh, yeah.

And what made you decide to move to Madison from North Dakota?

Work initially.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, I work in physical therapy as well.

So that brought me to this area.

We had friends that moved here.

And then I ended up meeting

Mason Meyer at his music venue.

Now what, like, clicked?

That made you take up music

when you decided six years ago

that music is what you wanted to do.

Oh.

I started writing.

It was like a fry pen to the head.

I've said music.

Fry pen to that.

Sounds like there could be a song there.

Or a brick to the head with Mason.

Oh dear.

Mason.

Yeah, it just seemed like

lyrics and everything.

Words to songs were flowing out of me.

And then I could hear the tune to them in my head even.

So then I had to figure out how to play guitar.

Wow.

So you could hear the song before you even played the instrument.

Yeah.

Wow. That's a crazy skill.

Did you grow up around music?

I did. My parents farmed.

But they also played for wedding dances.

And in a band.

Yeah. Oh wow, what kind of band was it?

Like a country band kind of thing.

Country band like Buddy Holly.

Oh yeah, okay.

That kind of genre.

So there was music inside you already.

Yeah. It just had to be.

I would drive the tractor on the farm and sing away by myself.

Well, I'm glad you're singing for others now.

Wow.

You know, did you have support?

Or did people think you were crazy when you were like,

you know, I'm going music.

I had support. I think it was quiet for a little while,

because you know, when you start out,

you're not really very good.

And people are, oh, that's interesting.

I would say.

But there definitely was support there.

Friends and family thought that was a,

it's a fun new adventure in life.

Well, let's get to live music from the Mad City with outlaw

and a lady presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The first song that you have for us tonight is called Main Street.

It's the name of Mason's live music venue in Brooklyn, Wisconsin.

Don't tell me this is where the two of you met.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, let's hear it.

We got to hear the story.

Well, we got to tell us about the song first.

You want to hear the story of the song?

Well, the story about the song.

Well, the first time I met Jenny,

you know, I was,

so I just saw you all know I've been sober and all for quite a few years.

It wasn't.

She walked into Main Street and I,

she had a Whalen Jennings shirt on,

which you know, I'm a huge Whalen Jennings shirt.

Yeah.

And, uh, man, I just, like, instantly fell in love with her.

I'm not even kidding.

It was like, bam.

Love it first sight.

I believe it was, yes.

I could honestly say that.

Something just happened there.

You know, and then, you know, that night I'd been drinking.

I ain't going to lie.

I just needed to have one of the performers got sick.

So I needed somebody to fill in.

So I called Jenny.

But the next day I wasn't, I was too nervous to even talk to her.

Taking her foot into the ground.

Yeah, but yeah, just, I don't know.

I mean, that's really the truth of it, man.

Like I just fell in love with her right away.

Wow, that's a really cool story.

I love that.

Well, tell us about the song Main Street.

The song Main Street seems like it was written at the start of our relationship.

And it just talks about, you know, how can you believe that can even happen

where you meet somebody?

And that's it.

And it's the name of where it happened.

Main Street, where we met.

Nice. Well, let's check it out.

This is Main Street, outlawed on a lady you're listening to live from the Matt City on Maxing Radio.

I can't explain it, but we were meant to be.

It was the wrong time but the right place down on Main Street.

We came together with so much harmony.

Other souls were meant to be.

And it's as perfect as the red setting sun.

And it's as brilliant as bright as the blood moon on the clearest night of all.

Due to every dream was same.

How would you know what I would say when you told me?

We were meant to be.

So many love songs you play and sing.

You said remind me of you.

You said you knew that you loved me the minute I laid my eyes on you.

How can you say that?

How can that be?

It's so hard to believe until I felt you saw you and heard you pour out your love for me.

And it's as perfect as the red setting sun.

And it's as brilliant as bright as the blood moon on the clearest night of all.

Due to every dream was same.

How would you know what I would say when you told me?

You were meant for me.

And it's as perfect as the red setting sun.

And it's as brilliant as bright as the blood moon on the clearest night of all.

Due to every dream was same.

And how would you know what I would say when you told me?

We were meant to be.

Yeah.

That's pretty cool.

Main Street.

And now I know the story behind the song.

It just makes it even more impactful.

Wow.

And you two love birds the way you both look at each other while you're doing the song.

I'm like, I'm like, I'm going to cry.

Oh, my tears.

She makes it.

She looks like, like, like, like, maybe because she wants to make sure I don't forget the things.

Oh, he's a funny one.

Mason, by trade, you're a stone Mason and you have deep roots in Brooklyn, Wisconsin.

Tell us your music origin story.

I mean, how did you get started in music?

It's somewhat similar in a way to Jennings.

Yeah.

I just loved music, like, growing up.

I mean, it was kind of my, you know, I just listened to a lot of heavy metal rock and roll.

And, you know, when I started getting into my teens, I kind of was digging in my dad's record collection.

I found Johnny Cash and way on Jennings and like, the Malibu man.

And I just, I don't know, like, to me, I never thought I'd do this.

I've only been doing this for a short time too.

I mean, me and Johnny actually started playing around the same times of our life.

Right.

But we didn't know each other at that time.

Right.

But I went through a lot of things in life.

You know, I lost my son.

I lost just a lot of things went south and bad for a long time.

And like, I just started writing and then playing a little bit.

And I just kept writing to get through my days, you know what I mean.

And like, all that.

And I just, you know, I don't know.

I just, I'm here.

I feel like I'm supposed to be doing this.

Awesome.

Yeah.

And music is medicine.

Yeah, it isn't really.

Yes.

And like, for me, I've never, like, you know, I don't know where I fit in playing music or anything because my style is different.

I sing truly from my heart and soul.

And it's kind of, you know, it's kind of a tough spot to be.

And sometimes it's a original musician.

I don't know what I'm doing really where I'm going.

Whether if I need to be known or if I need to be going anywhere.

But well, you're doing it a scene to me.

Yeah.

But like, so, you know, and then funny stories.

When I started playing and, you know, guitar and stuff.

And I was very green with me and Jenny Matt.

Like, I just had started writing playing.

I would go to her house and fake it till I make it.

There you go.

I would outplay guitar, you know, guitar stuff and watch her and sing with her.

Just so I could come back and do it again.

But it was enough.

Now, you're solo material.

Sometimes it goes a little darker.

Yeah.

And that's from, you know, your experience.

Talk about that.

Yeah, I just, like I said, I went through a tough time.

When I was young, young kid I had, you know, these, you know, thoughts and these, you know,

my glass is always half empty.

So I just, you know, I know a lot of other people feel like that in life.

And they should just, you can, it's all right to talk about the real feelings.

And I believe in the good Lord above and he helped me through a lot of things.

And I just, I'm just doing what I feel, man.

It just comes out.

I'm not.

I don't even know really what I'm doing.

You know, so just doing it.

Sometimes that's what you got to do is just do it.

Yeah.

Oh, I was going to just say, can you tell us about the Native American spirit rhythm and Bill Miller.

I know who Bill is.

Yeah.

I was going to use it because after the loss of my son and stuff, I actually met Art Chagoghoney

out to my other venue, my bar and venue.

I got to my bar and that was actually the venue before Main Street.

But anyhow, I met Art through there out there and he just loved my place and he just thought

there was something about me that was cool.

And he wanted to introduce me to Bill Miller, which Bill Miller didn't really want to meet me back then at the time

because he didn't want to play at a barn or, you know, with a bunch of red necks.

Oh, okay.

But anyhow.

But anyhow, so I met Bill.

I met Bill and I actually went on the road with Bill as his rowdy.

And I didn't play or sing or anything, but I subconsciously must have picked up on a lot of stuff.

And he actually co-produced all my songs on my first album.

And he was a major influence to me and they actually saved me through a very dark time in my life.

I don't talk to him as much as I'd like to anymore, but, you know, that's a story.

You know, well, that's just times in life.

Yeah, but like, I mean, it was just the perfect timing in life because they got me through this thing.

And Bill was the one that told me to play what I feel and what I do because he said I had such a weird style

that no one, he's never heard anybody play like me the way I play guitar and stuff.

That's called the spirit rhythm.

That's pretty cool.

So, yeah, I mean, yeah, I was very fortunate to have that going on.

Now, you feel a connection to Hawks flying in the air.

Yeah.

And see you talk about that.

What does that bird signify to you?

Freedom and peace in my soul.

I didn't know about back of the day.

I used to do a lot of haunting and stuff.

And at any time I saw Hawks flying, I would end up, you know, getting a deer

or something that I was hunting for.

And my brother, Matt, actually started the whole thing about it.

And I had done that Hawks round, you know,

with that I got to the point where I started losing people in my life.

I'd always have the hawk or the eagle around and yeah, so.

Well, let's get back to live music from the man city with Ola and the lady,

presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song that you have for us tonight, it is called Red Diamond Rare.

And is a red diamond as rare as love?

Red diamonds are the most rare diamond of all.

And that's what caused me to make the title of the song.

But I was thinking, I wonder if I, if you guys would mind,

what if I just did one verse and the chorus on this song

and just shared that part because it's a longer song or do you want the whole song?

How, how, how long do you think it is?

That's a lowly question.

I don't know.

Well, let's just go ahead and play it.

Let's check it out.

This is Red Diamond Rare.

You're listening to Maxine Gradio.

We are local music.

A broken heart should have some rights

because it pays heavy dues both day and night.

This broken heart can't get over you.

It's tried so many times.

Never fully repairs.

It's true.

But a love like this.

Ooh, is red diamond rare.

Ooh, it found us.

What else does life have to give if love doesn't exist?

When one falls hard, you've got to know

that something will break.

It's often the way it goes.

Not everyone was meant to be together forever.

That's just reality.

Ooh, but a love like this.

Ooh, is red diamond rare.

Ooh, it found us.

And what else does life have to give if love doesn't exist?

The best advice I can recall is to love hard

for yourself.

May the chips fall wherever they fall.

Is it truly better to have loved and lost?

Or to never go through the pain at all?

Tell me in, not out, because it'd rather take the risk

than never to find out.

Oh, what it feels like to have butterflies,

to have sleepless nights, to have blows and highs.

Ride this ride, side by side.

Ooh, but a love like this.

Ooh, it's red diamond rare.

Ooh, it found us.

And what else does life have to give if love doesn't exist?

Wow!

Yeah.

That is awesome.

Red diamond rare.

Thank you.

That's unreleased.

That just stays in the back pocket.

Wow.

That's pretty cool.

Well, thank you for playing that.

Jenny, how has your songwriting evolved since meeting

and Mason?

And how do you keep music and married life separate?

Or isn't it?

It seems like we enjoy singing together and doing shows together.

But we also enjoy doing our own thing.

I do solo shows or duels with Jamie doing lead

and then Mason has a band.

And, you know, at times we join together

and at times we do our own thing and support each other.

But I always find myself writing about if my feelings are hurt.

Oh, I come up with a song.

That's what you do with it.

Oh, man.

The secret weapon.

All right, so we've been wondering all night,

when you go to gigs, who drives and who never gets?

I drive because we want to make sure we get to the gig.

Yeah, because I'm a very fast driver.

Oh.

And so he likes to drive.

And that's what you can relax and think about.

Well, then everybody's more relaxed when we get to the gig.

Oh, okay.

There you go.

Where does you guys go on your honeymoon?

Oh.

You know.

You know, we haven't really went yet,

but we've traveled so much in the past six years

that we feel like we've been on a honeymoon every day.

Wow.

Oh, that's pretty cool.

Yeah.

And we do have a trip plan for next year for Hawaii.

It's already booked.

So that should be nice.

Wow.

That sounds like a lot of fun.

Well, let's get back to live music from the Mad City

with Ola and a lady presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song that you have for us tonight is called River.

Is the River a lonely place to be?

The song sequence is we met, we fell in love,

and now here you go.

Now we're at the breakup part.

Wow.

So this is where I start writing the songs,

because it's the dark time.

So anyhow, we've had our ups and downs for sure,

but last one we had, we both went to Nashville,

but we were separate this time.

We didn't go together, and I knew she was there.

She knew I was there, and I was very heartbroken.

I wrote the song.

It was Taylor.

River.

I want to flow.

I'm trying so hard.

It was too late for me.

Money, water, and a ball of snow.

Are the only two things I know?

Pain killers keep me tough.

The dark dream killers hold you a result.

I hear the train, the kids calling my name.

It says it will ease my pain.

River, you run so deep.

Just like love between her and me.

River.

I want to flow.

I'm trying so hard.

To let go.

River, you run so deep.

Just like love between her and me.

Awesome.

How long a lady, and that is actually Mason Meyer there.

Is that one of your solo songs?

That's a solo song.

United States.

Oh, I want to learn an instrument.

And this was what I was like probably seven or eight.

But C.C.'s mom couldn't afford it.

A donated guitar was given to C.C.

summer.

This is Maxinc Radio.

We are local music.

This is Jane with Maxinc Radio.

And we're back with Live in the Mad City.

Oh my goodness.

She did it.

You're a rocker.

We said if we get caught up talking, let us know.

That was great.

Good job, Jane.

Thank you.

You guys, I want to talk about May Mental Health Awareness Month.

And I actually interviewed a dad and it was so moving.

He lost his son to suicide.

But why is mental health awareness so important to you guys?

Well, for me, I've lost so many friends to suicide and drug addiction.

I don't know how called wisdom, which I all think is suicide.

Some of it just takes longer than others.

But to me, that's a lot of the reasons I write.

I mean, I'm going to say that I've struggled with it a lot myself.

Sometimes it's cliche for people to talk about it.

That's why I don't really ever want to steer away from my vision of what I'm doing musically and all that stuff.

But I just, I wish that my friends, and I'm not talking one or two home talking, you know, 15 to 20 people I've lost.

And I just wish they would have talked to somebody or, you know, I just wish there would have been difference.

I know, you know, they would have been able to talk to somebody that night or whatever, maybe long term.

I don't know.

But life speaks in valleys, you know what I mean?

And I've been in a lot of valleys and I've been in a lot of peaks.

You just know you always want to come out and go down, come out and go down.

So I guess that's kind of where I'm at with it.

Oh, I was just going to say what I love about this right now.

This moment is you are talking about it.

And I know Jenny, you may agree that we don't hear enough men talk about it.

And for you to be so strong and bold and say, hey, this is how I feel.

It's happened to me because it's happened to everybody at some point.

It doesn't really cost her.

You know, on a dozen like it's no fun.

I mean, I still got my days that are down.

You know what I mean?

And Jenny has helped me a lot in my life with all these things.

So I want to thank her for that.

That's awesome.

Wow.

Yeah.

I know.

You know, tonight guitar is Jamie poster is here to play guitar on a couple of songs here.

And Jamie, you've played in great bands like rap, scallion, faces for radio seven seasons deep.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started music and how you came to be jamming with Mason and Jenny.

And I guess I've been around a while.

That's a lot of bands.

Yeah.

I guess I guess started.

I guess started when I was about 12 years old.

My mom and dad both played instruments.

My mom sang in a choir.

Three of my brothers played guitar.

My oldest brother would show me how to play a lot of stuff.

And I just really latched on to it.

I loved it.

You know, listen to the lads up on the ECDC in my room.

Want to play like that.

You know, just fired me up.

And now you do play like that.

Well, you know, when you were in rap scallion, that was pretty crazy.

That was a late late 80s and really 90s signed a road racer records.

It was on Red Dust Bowl.

Red Dust Bowl metal blade.

And wow, that was pretty cool.

And then of course, we play a lot of faces for radio here.

I'm waiting for a reunion show.

I don't know.

I don't know if everybody would be on board.

I think three of us were okay with that.

But I think there was one hole.

Oh, yeah.

I need phone numbers.

That one guy.

I need phone numbers.

I'm not going to mention anything.

There's one guy.

Now, how is this transition from, you know, totally hard rock and roll metal?

And now you're playing like kind of country.

It's cool because when Andy asked me if I would play with the Mason Meyer group,

he just kind of, hey, you just come in and do what you want.

Wow.

You play what you want.

You're totally free to do what I want.

I can improvise.

I can, you know, latch out.

He just makes it super easy.

And so it is Jenny.

You know, she's, you know, play over my stuff and do what you want.

We can adjust things.

Makes it really easy.

Just makes it so much more fun.

Nice.

Well, great.

Well, we can't hear a way to hear you in some of these songs.

Let's get back to live music from the Mad City.

The Mad City without law and a lady presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song you have for us tonight, it's called You'll Find Another Meet.

Is that possible?

A capo?

Is that the international sign for Capo?

I thought she was looking for scissors.

It was like playing that.

I am a capo, but I'm probably going to meet it.

Well, so she's going to run and get a capo here.

So I just want to say one thing.

I want to thank Jamie for playing with us.

And I want to thank Mickey Rishan, Slim Pickens, Eric Salisbury for playing with the Mason Meyer band.

We're kind of, you know, on a high-hatist, but, you know, we're just going to take a break.

But I appreciate you all very much because I know that I play a different, weird style, but you guys are great.

So thank you.

Well, thanks for grabbing that capo.

We call her our manager.

Jamie's wife Dana is the best.

She's helped with everything.

Coraz capos, you name it, filming?

That's what she does.

I'm surprised that she didn't have the capo in here then already.

All right.

Well, let's get back to live music.

The song is You'll Find Another Meet.

Is that possible?

Nope.

We'd like to still be looking at my phone like this six months from now.

Watching for your name, where we apart.

Did you plug it out loud?

Was it only me?

You felt the bond?

Only I could bring it.

Do you miss me?

And my magic clutch?

Do you see me?

And everyone else convinced yourself?

Oh, you'll find another me.

Will those ever changing eyes look the other way?

When you're thinking of me, do you feel the pain?

Whose idea was this anyway?

The greatest gift of love just thrown away?

Do you miss me?

And my magic touch?

Do you see me?

And everyone else convinced yourself?

You'll find another me.

Oh, do you feel my hands running through your head to call me?

And all the love we share convinced yourself?

You'll find another me.

Do you feel my hands running through your head to call me?

And all the love we share convinced yourself?

You'll find another me.

Oh, do you see me?

Oh, can you feel me?

Is that come back to you?

You will find another me.

You'll find another me.

That is outlawed on a lady, Jenny Lupine, right here on Maxing Radio Live from the Man City.

Jenny Nashville is your home away from home, but you also travel the country playing music.

What are your favorite locations to play around the U.S.?

We have so much fun going to Arizona.

We have a family there, and it's just a peaceful, spiritual state.

I mean, there's so many great states, but that one just is a one that we both seem to really enjoy.

Milt's tap house is a place we play at.

We find a variety of places to play in Arizona.

We go to North Dakota a lot because that's where I was born raised.

We played Montana a couple of times, we like that.

Well, we like your place, Mason.

Tell us about it for people who haven't heard or don't know about Main Street music.

Even though he had that great song to kick this whole segment off,

but tell us about Main Street music in Brooklyn.

Main Street was, is, and I don't even explain it anymore.

So, I had a vision when I was in Nashville,

I wanted to create a music venue.

I was at a place called Puckets out in a little town called Leapers Fork.

I said to Archagony, I said, I'm going to go home.

I'm going to make this music venue just like this place.

It was so cool.

And for those of you that don't know me,

if I say I'm going to do something, I usually do it.

Well, I created the music venue and it's been six years open now.

And it's been peaks and valleys.

And we're always just trying to make it work, man.

Like we're in a small town.

It's kind of nice because you rented out as a venue space for,

you know, there was a surprise birthday party there tonight and they had music.

And then other times it's big shows and then other times it gets quiet during certain seasons.

Yeah, so we're just, I don't know what to say.

And now the building was your dad's building, right?

No, it was never my dad's building.

I always had an antique store in there with my dad because he was a...

I see.

So that was my masonry shop for quite a while.

That's originally what it was bought for.

I guess where I was going was the antique store with your dad.

And there's still a lot of those antiques in the music.

Well, that's true.

His name is on a lot of them.

Yeah.

So my dad was, you know, like you watch the American Pickers.

My dad was that my whole life growing up.

And he got me into that too.

And then to his life, I had him work and we had a little shop there together.

And I just took, I just took a lot of the stuff out.

I took a lot of the stuff and left it in.

Yeah.

So it's pretty cool.

But a great live music venue.

All right.

Well, let's get back to live music from the Man City with Olawn.

A lady presented by the Aaron Weber group, the next song that you have for us tonight.

It's called Father Time.

Is he married to Mother Earth?

Well, that is a song that Andy wrote.

Of course, it's married to Mother Earth.

But I was just going to quickly say that this song, I love it.

We're going to sing it together.

But we broke up for a while.

We got back together and now we're married.

And so this is kind of a reminder of life is short.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Father Time, he made me strong.

He made me strong and he made me weak.

I feel the kiss of death upon our cheek.

I planted my seeds in the wash of blood.

Hands on the clock says time to go.

Wow.

Father Time, that is Olawn and a lady.

This is a lot of fun.

Wow, that was a really cool song.

And it's ticking.

Time is ticking.

That's right.

Did Jane tell you that?

I did some 10 minutes.

Yes.

She didn't have her fingers up.

10 minutes.

Let's get some chicken.

Oh my goodness.

Now you guys really like exploring Wisconsin together.

And you go around.

Now I want to ask you in Wisconsin, where do you like to go?

What's been most fun for you?

We really love the spring green, low rock area.

Oh yeah.

I don't know what it is.

I mean, my dad owned land down there and I was a kid.

And we spent a lot of time in that area.

But I don't know me and Jenny go down there a lot.

And we just, we like it.

Yeah, we got a camper down there now.

And that we never go to because we're always so busy.

We've slept in our vehicle before there.

But hopefully we'll go down there later this summer.

I love the cafe in spring green.

We haven't been there yet.

Oh, you got it.

Go.

Put it on the list.

Yeah.

Well, once we get the time to go down, we'll be adventuring all kinds of stuff.

Happy to announce.

You do have a bunch of shows coming up too in May.

On the 16th, you're going to be opening for Ruby Lay from the voice.

Oh, wow.

You guys.

And she's going to be at your place.

Main street music in Brooklyn.

What do you know about Ruby?

What can you tell us about her?

We became really good friends with Ruby and her family.

Through our good front Billy Don Burns, who's an overall country singer,

and wrote a lot of songs.

And he's a legend.

But he introduced us to Ruby and had her play at my place.

And we became really good friends with her family and stuff.

And Jenny's open up for her May 16th.

Yeah.

Ruby's 18.

And she sings like she'll blow you away.

It's just you want to hear another one.

It's soothing.

It's great.

You can request a song.

She knows it.

Oh, my God.

It's self-cat artist.

Old soul.

Yeah.

It's amazing.

Yeah.

It's amazing.

I mean, you name it.

She plays and sings it.

Oh, fun.

Okay.

And Jenny opening for Ruby Lay, who was on the voice.

Yeah.

That's some extra promotion.

Yeah.

Had mainstream music in Brooklyn.

And then broadcast.

I know everybody's looking forward to that already.

Memorial Day weekend.

Do you know when you're going to be there?

Yeah.

We will be there Sunday, May 24th.

Okay.

Very early soul.

Okay.

11 a.m.

This year.

And if the weather's nice, it doesn't matter.

People will be there.

Yeah.

We're actually kind of looking forward to the early slot this year, just because of this.

We're going to do like an acoustic set this year and have some of the band members.

I have Jamie there and Slim Pickens, our guitar player and make your son and Jenny myself.

And, you know, we're going to do it kind of a laid back set this year.

That sounds great.

And this is not my question, but I'll ask you anyway, rocker.

He wants to know how many brats can you eat backstage?

Well, they have that.

They have the most amazing brat thing like backstage in the green room.

Like every kind of bride you can think of.

Oh, my gosh.

They all let me back.

Oh, no.

It lives money every year.

They lose money.

Yeah.

This year comes Mason Meyer.

He only gets the brats.

Shut it down.

Two.

Shut it down.

Here he comes.

He's bringing his wagon.

Watch out.

Oh, hey, how can we keep up with Jenny Mason and Outlaw and a lady online?

We are big Facebookers.

Yeah.

Check out our Facebook page.

Mason Meyer has his page.

Jenny Lupine.

I have mine.

And that's L-U-P-I-E-N, right?

That's right.

And then Main Street event venue has over 10,000 followers.

And we always post what we're doing on there.

Jamie Poster has his own page.

And he's big into Instagram as well.

He's J-A-Y-M-E-Poster.

And he's got my space that he uses quite a bit still.

Well, we have just a couple of minutes.

And I have an idea that this song is about that long.

So let's just get right into playing your next song.

It's called Back to You.

You're listening to Maxing Radio Live from The Manson.

I can't keep going back to you even though I want to.

We both know love and it's so good.

I can't keep my emotions on this ride.

My Jeep has left you driveway for one last time.

If we could find a way to change our ways,

then we both would have tried once again.

So I'm making my move.

I'm jumping this way.

Breaking this all pattern.

Love and heartache.

Don't chase me this time.

Oh, just let me ride.

So it's shining, but it's raining outside.

I don't know what I said to make you cry.

Don't know why.

I say the things I say.

It's something that I'm working on every day.

Frozen river running through my veins.

My emotions raise a cane since humility.

What can I do to make you stay?

Guess I'm going ahead to kneel and pray.

If we could find a way to change our ways,

then we both would have tried once again.

So now what do we do?

What do we say?

The silence can be worse than words,

but I can't fight with you one more day.

Let's call it tools, let's go, I should be wise.

I can't seem to live without you.

There's got to be a better way.

Thank you so much for coming in and playing for us tonight.

Thanks for having us.

This has been so much fun as usual.

Thank you, rocker.

Oh, that is so cool.

Thank you so much.

Oh, I can't say it.

I'm so excited.

Thank you so much.

I can't say for tomorrow just to bring it up a little early,

but my wife, Dana Poster,

and all the mothers out there, happy Mother's Day tomorrow.

Happy Mother's Day.

Well, I'll tell you, you know, next week, Rob Roberts,

his daughter is getting married.

I was actually the officiant in their official wedding back in October,

but they're getting married the next Saturday and we won't be here.

So we're having a Rob Roberts.

We'll be sitting in.

And I'm an actual special interview.

And you have a special interview.

That's right.

Okay, see you next week.
