Barr Band Friday & Green and Gold (Hour 2)
Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba and Greg Bach · Fri Feb 28, 2025
Welcome back ladies and gentlemen great to have you with me on this Friday night as we broadcast statewide all over the great state of Wisconsin from beautiful downtown Green Bay at WGBW Conrad is riding shotgun as usual.
How's it going there, buddy?
in the studio.
That's odd
Our question of the night, ladies and gentlemen, is terms and conditions.
Do you read them before you click the box?
Most of the responses we've gotten have said, if it's something big, they actually read them before clicking.
If it's like spectrum, a phone thing or something, I admit, I don't read terms and conditions.
I'm not reading 30 pages of small print before I click the box, but maybe I'll get in trouble for that.
I don't know.
But let me know what you think, 8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2-8-5-5-7-5.
Civic, great to have you with me.
Terry Barr is coming up at 7.35.
It is a bar band Friday night.
We've got some great music on tap right now.
I'm very excited to welcome my next guest who was here about five or six weeks ago before his movie Green and Gold opened with all this hype and anticipation.
You probably remember Craig T. Nelson saying the national anthem at a Packer game.
There was a lot of hype around the film and the director joins us now.
The writer, producer, director.
Anders Linwall joins us over the phone.
Anders, how are you?
Hey, yeah, nice to chat to you guys again.
Thanks for having me.
Oh, you bet.
Well, I was, you know, I your film has been kept like now four weeks maybe in theaters.
It's doing very well.
I just saw it like a week and a half ago.
Just a great job, buddy.
And I wanted to talk to you about that and see where you were at now.
After all the hype is it's not dying down, but it you've you've gotten through that initial launch and it's doing very well.
How do you feel?
Yeah, I mean, we're you know, it's funny like we try to we try to I take this a little bit from professional athletes It's like you try to tune out all the noise like you focus on what you can control and and that's like you make the product You do your best to market it and then you just put your put the ear buds
and try to
Get ready for the next one and the next thing on the path to distribution all that kind of thing.
So, you know, I think we've always been really proud of it.
We've always known it performs well for just the general audiences, you know, specifically in Midwest and, um, you know, they're folks looking for more of just like a family film, feel good film.
Like we know it does well from film festivals.
That's where we kept winning.
It's like not a critics movie.
Um, and so it's, it has been affirming.
I think that's like
I didn't, I honestly didn't expect it to last in theaters anywhere near as long as it did.
Like I thought maybe one more week, you know, week after opening, we were guaranteed, I think four to seven days.
And, uh, when it just like kept, kept coming back and kept coming back, it was like, all right, all right, this is, it's wonderful.
And, and I think that, you know, kind of, it mostly bodes to word of mouth, like good word of mouth.
Um, because.
because we didn't certainly didn't have any marketing money to get to get that kind of ongoing momentum so
well
yes i'm really thankful for it
yeah you you're being humble because you call it not a critics darling or anything but you got a certified fresh rating on rotten tomatoes
And when I saw it, there was a lot of people in the theater.
So it seems like you're doing well in theaters and you're doing certainly at least well enough with critics.
I mean, you got to be thrilled.
And the movie has so much heart.
Have you had a chance to watch it with audiences in a theater?
Yeah, yeah, I've had a couple.
It was funny.
We did, we did a few different film festivals, right?
We did one in Indianapolis for Heartland, then we did one in Austin Film Festival.
or yeah, Austin Film Festival.
And then the next time I watched it with a group was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
And it was crazy to hear the difference in, it was like we were talking the same inside jokes with each other.
And that was really, really special, you
just to feel like a lot of the subtle comedy just like slapped at the right spot.
And yeah, so it has, that's been honestly really special to do is to
You know, because I'm a young director.
I'm learning as we're doing this and and to kind of, you know, it's it's been special to be like, oh, yeah, we wanted that to be funny or we wanted that scene to be a little confusing and you can tell, you know, just it's it's reading well with audiences and and that's been yeah, just really affirming and and excited.
That's that's great.
We okay.
So when you were on the show last we I think Craig T. Nelson had just sung the national anthem.
We talked about Brendan Slinar being the film and his stars on the rise and you know culvers and all this kind of fun stuff and Lost in the Shuffle for me only because I didn't do my research enough was this leading lady you have Madison Lawler It's yeah really almost her story like she's kind of the connective tissue for a lot of the different subplots you have going on there.
She was great
Totally.
Yeah, she's amazing.
You know, I felt like
Because we we knew it's like when we got we got Craig first and cast and we're like, okay We know we've got like an anchor there, but it was like shoot now the other 50% 60% of the story is this young girl and she has to go eye to eye with Craig and so we auditioned high and low and we're really really I think that was maybe one of the biggest decisions I had to make as a director and the whole project was who this young woman is gonna be
And, uh, you know, we had some other folks who were a little bit well, more well known than her who'd been in, you know, uh, just a few different things, but she's, she grew up in South Dakota and moved to LA when she was 17, I think or 16, like her folks shipped her to her aunt and uncle out there and said, if you want to do your Hollywood thing, do it.
And so in a lot of ways she just, her journey embodied the journey of Jenny and the movie, the main character.
Um,
and you know this person who grows up in a rural community and just like longing for something else and that was it was really cool to see her connect with that in a you know and I think just as a person just she said it was it caused her to rethink a lot of different things you know after coming
it the process of this but she did she's unbelievable I can't wait to see kind of what happens to her career and yeah
That's that's really terrific and she'll have you to thank because I would assume this is gonna be great Tape as they used to say for her as an actress.
My guest is Anders Linwall.
He's director of Green and Gold which you can catch probably still in theaters for another week, but who knows maybe even longer Do you have do you guys have streaming information available yet Anders like you know where it'll turn up when we can watch it at home?
Yeah, so we're in the process of developing all that so that's all kind of contractually happy, but it will be it will be coming up most likely in around April 1st if we can get things in order but You know and kind of like the obvious places that you'd expect so but yeah right now we're kind of like Riding out the theater train and and then negotiating those deals because a lot of those deals, you know depends on how it performs theatrically
So you're kind of, you know, yeah, it's like a push and pull and we're like locking sort of as I'm on the call with you half the time.
You know, it's like, it's right there.
We're making these decisions.
Well, if something breaks while we're on the phone, I would love it if we could be the ones to share that with the state.
Keep us posted.
So I love what I really liked about the film is that you you guys you and your brother and whoever else contributed to the story seemed to have this affection or love for the earth and soil and nature Where did that come from?
You know, I think it came from growing up in the UP and right on the border there, you know with Wisconsin like when you it's we're just I was always out there in
in the natural world like I was just you know I would go bow hunting after middle school you know in middle school I'd get home throw my bow hunting gear on and I'd head out to the stand until until dark and then come in eat dinner do my homework and rinse and repeat you know uh and so I think that that's probably where where it started and and so I think that was a that was a theme we really you know excited to discuss because yeah it was just uh
you know, it's particularly with like spirituality, like tie that like the natural
spirituality with the Green Bay Packers, like what a cocktail.
That we that we want.
Yeah, if somebody called the film like a pack, a Packers mysticism film or something, which I really like.
Oh, that's funny.
I like that.
So yeah, how do you how do you just from sorry, go ahead.
Oh, that was
I was
I was just gonna ask you like from the first script you guys had Like I think you said you started this process like four or five years ago the pandemic happened all that kind of stuff to what you see on the screen now How different are they?
Yeah, I mean pretty different, you know, I remember the first I had written probably You know me and me and the writers we're probably like 20 drafts in you know, and you're talking a hundred page document do it 20 times
And those are big rewrites.
And I handed it to one of my friends who's a, he's a second unit director for a really well-known director named Terrence Malick.
And I was
Andrew, what do you think?
And he reads it and he's like, dude, you're on the right track.
You're two out of 10.
And I was like, two out of 10.
Oh man.
How about a four?
Maybe five out of 10, that kind of thing.
you know he just he it was what's cool about that is he blew a lot of wind in my cells are okay i'm at the start of a really long marathon here and so we reiterated and iterated and you know i think this this uh so i think a lot of like the circumstances change around jenny as a character when do you start her story that was kind of the biggest thing to figure out right
yeah uh but
But the soul of the, the thing was always there and that, that didn't really change.
Like, you know, the, the log line of an old dairy farmer in Wisconsin, trying to save his family farm from going under brokers and deal with the bank to extend the life of the loan.
That's been there forever.
You know, so.
Okay.
Oh, that's so
great.
Yeah.
You guys have another, we have about maybe a minute left.
Do you guys have another film lined up?
Are you going to go back and immerse yourself into commercials or are you anxious to get back and behind the camera on a feature film again?
Yeah, we'd love to get, get another one again.
You know, it's we, we have another story that we want to shoot.
It's an 1800 lumberjack film that takes place up in Northern Wisconsin, Northern Michigan.
And that was, you know, my brother and I were chatting the other day.
I was just like, what's, what's been your favorite part of this journey?
And he's like, I think being able to share like external people, like bringing people from the outside to a place that you love and then
with bringing, you know, having the people that you love experience a really cool and unique project and be a part of it.
Like the farmer is that kind of thing.
That's like a really fun recipe that we'd like to keep kind of playing in.
And so yeah, hopefully we get a chance to make more.
That'll probably come down to streaming, how it performs in streaming, whether or not investors would go again.
Oh
man, that's so
great.
Well,
keep it up, buddy.
Thank you for giving us an update.
Keep up the great work.
We'll be watching and break a leg.
Thanks again for having me.
Appreciate all the help here.
You got it, Andrews.
Have a great night.
All right.
Yeah, cheers.
That is director Andrews Linwall of Green and Gold.
Check it out.
If you haven't seen it yet, folks, it's in the theaters for another week at least.
Coming up, Terry Barr in a few minutes.
We'll do Bar Band Friday night.
We'll read your text next.
It's Nightlight with Peach Waba on the Civic Media Radio Network.
Welcome back our question tonight ladies and gentlemen is terms and conditions.
Do you read them before you click the box?
Conrad and I both answered the question negatively Somewhat some of the texts have said when it's a big deal like a home purchase or a job You read and of course, but I'm talking about like cell phones banking cable companies
Especially like a city service like WPS.
They can't screw you over, right?
They're like a municipal entity.
So I never read that stuff.
You know, the guy that comes out to read my meters gonna steal a million bucks from me.
I don't think so.
You never know, right?
So let us know what you think.
Do you read terms and conditions before you click the box or you just click the box?
There are no right or wrong answers, folks.
Just your answers.
From the 608, this is a great text.
I got to read this.
This is from the 608.
Hi, I'm a first-time listener on your radio station.
Just a coincidence that I was listening to earlier shows on this channel.
I'm glad I kept it as I'm heading home.
Not sure if this text will go through.
I tried calling a few times.
Conrad, do we have a call?
Well, you know how the phone is.
I know how the phone is.
She got a hold of us on the text.
Yes, she did.
On the question, if we read a terms that we receive, I don't.
It would have concerned me receiving a 15 or 16 page document that you got from your bank.
Wow.
I think with that much reading, I would have just called them so they could give me the shorter version.
Boy, that's a great idea.
And record the call so you can stick it to them if they're screwing you over.
I have a pretty good bank though.
She says, or he says, I will make sure to listen to you both again.
Have a fun night.
Thank you very much.
608 continues saying my name is Eileen from Evansville, Wisconsin.
I work in Cottage Grove and exercise in Madison.
Wow.
That's commitment.
That's like a 20 mile drive, I think, to do the Stairmaster.
Good for you, Eileen.
She says I'm not able to listen to you all here in Evansville lost you on the radio as I got home I am trying to listen to it online there you go and Eileen do that Download the app if you haven't used it because it's very easy to use and you said you were listening to civic media shows earlier in the day If you have the app you can just take it with you and there's an easy way to get a hold of us You can call or text right off the app if you live in spotty
coverage radio area, it might be better to just go with the app.
I know a lot of people that use the app like it a lot.
So thank you for listening though and thank you for finding us.
So that's our question of the night.
If you want to chime in folks, please do.
So earlier in the show, I gave my predictions.
I think conclave, the Oscars take place Sunday night.
I've seen eight of the 10, I have two more to go.
I will watch them before the Oscars.
Conclave is my pick for best picture.
I think Conclave is going to win.
I think it has all the aspects that Oscar voters look for.
It's got Ray Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, Isabella Rossellini, John Lithgow.
Great cast.
It is well acted.
It's a good story.
And there is kind of a twist at the end.
And I think that's going to resonate with people.
And it won the Ensemble Award at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last week.
And pictures that win that award.
And to win the best picture award at the Oscars the next week or so after 26 out of the last 30 years that's happened So I think it's gonna happen against Sunday.
I think conclave is gonna win I think to me more is gonna win for substance even though I thought the movie was just It just did not like it Conrad you gotta watch substance The way you're talking about it, I don't ever want to watch that film ever but you almost have to watch it for the carnage just to see how Disgusting it is
But I do think to me more will win.
I think she's the odds on favorite.
I think people, this is one of those things where it's like a culmination of her career.
People like her, they're gonna vote for her.
I think Timothy Chalamet will win Best Actor for a complete unknown just because of what he did to prepare for the film and he stuck with it for five years.
It is a good story and it's a good movie, but it's a good story about how he embraced the character and what he did as an actor to get there.
I think Zoe Saldana, here's my best supporting actor and actress picks.
I think Zoe Saldana is gonna win for Amelia Perez.
And if she doesn't, I think it will be an indictment of all the drama that surrounded that film off screen.
The lead actress, they found tweets, people thought were racist tweets against Middle Easterners.
That was kind of a train wreck.
And the film has 13 nominations.
And I think people, there might be a backlash, who knows, but I do think Zoe Saldana, I think people like her, I think she's gonna win Best Actress for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor that is.
I'm gonna say Kieran Culkin.
Yes, I'm making a safe choice because he is, I think he's the favorite there.
The movie, A Real Pain was good, but he did do a good job.
He's kind of doing the same thing he does on Succession.
Very similar character, but he's very good in the movie.
Jesse Eisenberg was very good in the movie.
If he doesn't win, I think it'll be Edward Norton.
Very complete unknown because he was very likable in the film and he did a great job acting.
Guy Pierce is also nominated in the best supporting actor category and I love Guy Pierce.
I kind of hope he wins even though I haven't seen the brutalist yet.
That's how much of a fan I am of Guy Pierce.
And finally, in the best director category.
I'm gonna go with Sean Baker.
I don't think Enora was the best film.
Even of these, I wouldn't even put it like in the top three of these films that were nominated for best picture of the 10.
It was a good film.
I liked it.
I just don't get the best picture nomination.
But that's me.
A lot of people liked it, and a lot of people love Sean Baker.
I like Sean Baker a lot as a filmmaker.
The Florida Project, I just watched like six weeks ago, and it's one of my favorite films ever.
I think he's a really brilliant filmmaker.
But I don't think Inora's gonna win, but I think Sean Baker might win.
We might do one of those things like we did with Mad Max Fury Road, where George Miller did not win Best Director.
But I think that might not have won Best Picture.
I'm going off memory here.
Forgive me, folks.
But I do think...
I don't think Inora, it's kind of the, a lot of people are saying it's the favorite.
I just don't see it winning.
I could be wrong.
But I do think Sean Baker might grab a best director because I think the way everybody talks about Sean Baker and likes him, I think that's why Inora is even nominated in the first place.
Cause it's a good film, but I don't know.
So I think they might throw him the bone of best director.
But not the movie and having said that the movie could win two really folks.
I have no idea But feel free to chime in text me and let me know what you think about the Oscars Which take place this Sunday night March 2nd 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 text us on the stream or on the app when we come back ladies and gentlemen Our pal Terry Barr joins us for bar band Friday night.
So glad you're here.
It's peach wabba and nightlight on the civic media
radio network
I caught up with a past I meant to make friends She said, but you're probably gonna say I look lovely But you probably don't think nothing of me She was right though
Time to check out original music with bar band Friday on nightlight now your host peach wabba and special guest terry bar
That is correct ladies and gentlemen it is a bar band Friday night my favorite night of the week here at night light where we welcome our friend terry bar maxink radio host and She's as much fun to talk music with she is just to talk about anything with and that's why she's so much fun on the show
whether she has MP3 files or not.
Terry, welcome.
How are you?
Hi,
Happy Friday.
Did you have a good week?
Right.
Well, for what you do with all your duties, with everything going on in the news, I can't even imagine how you get through the week.
So I'm just glad you're here.
Same.
This
Yes, that's what connects us, my friend.
It's great to have you here.
So let me ask you this.
Are you ready for the Oscars?
Wow.
Well, that's whatever makes you happy.
That's great.
I did not see Just A Bit
you have
I think Conclave is going to win Best Picture.
Oh,
on my
It's good.
It wasn't my favorite of them, but I could easily see it winning.
It was a really good movie.
I think to me, moral win.
I think Timothy Chalamet will win.
I think Zoe Saldana will win.
And I think Kieran Culkin will win.
And I think Sean Baker is going to win Best Director.
So there you go.
Who knows?
I don't know anything more than anyone else.
I'm just a fan, but.
Those are my dime store picks, if you
I have.
I have not seen The Brutalist or I'm Still Here, where I live.
It's a little remote.
I don't think The Brutalist ever made it here.
And it's such a long film.
I have to literally start watching it right after the show if I want to finish it in time for the Oscars.
But I'm excited to see it.
I have to see that and I'm still here and I'll try to see them both before Wednesday.
So I'm looking forward to it.
No,
but I love some of the I'm in Madison So some of the theaters in Madison are doing a buy a ticket and over an entire weekend last weekend and this weekend You could see four or five six different movies, but you'd be bouncing between theaters So it would take an entire day
or you could split it for the weekend to go see all the movies.
I thought that was really a great idea.
That's a great idea, and I love doing that.
And I would do that just because I get on these Jags where I want to see three or four movies in a day.
Honest to God.
And when my wife and I, when we first moved to LA before we had kids, we would go to Universal Studios Theater.
where they had like 25 movies playing.
If we would just go in one, then on that end, we would just go in the other.
We'd only pay for one movie.
We didn't have that much money, but yeah, it was fun.
It's just kind of movie hopping.
It's such a great thing to do.
Yeah.
For sure.
We just had Anders Lindwall on, who is the director of Green and Gold.
I don't know if you heard any of that, but he was on just, we were kind of following up with them, how he feels after his great little theatrical run they just had.
You
You went into the theater, and of course you get all the usual pre, but...
before the movie started, they shared all the backstory.
They had interviews with Anders and then also with one of the writers and just explaining why this movie was so important and why they kept it in Wisconsin.
I love when filmmakers do that.
I didn't know
that was going to be part of the deal.
So I went with my mom and my wife and we got there right at the tail end of him talking.
I was like, oh, if I had known that, I would have I would have gotten there.
But I'll see.
Hey, let's get to some music.
Yeah, for sure.
Let's get to the music that you brought.
This is like, sometimes we're just spoiled for choice.
You sent two songs by each artist who are both going to be on Max Inc.
tomorrow night, which I think is great.
I couldn't even really, it was hard to pick one song from each.
Oh, I
Yeah.
Who do you want to start with?
Okay.
we are
Really?
It's so funny.
You just said that because I have pictures up.
He has like this kind of slideshow on his website.
He's got a great look and That like the first picture that comes up.
It's like this kind of faded photo of him against backlight Looking like he's just playing a club.
He abs the first thing that came to my mind was he's a troubadour.
That's so cool
It's so
He was I then the research I did which is not a pun because you sent some information which was interesting, but he was the Artist of the year.
I think in Wisconsin in like 2003 That's kind of cool.
And he's got all these slew of awards
He's one of these guys, you're gonna wanna see him on stage for ages.
He's aging so gracefully.
And I said to him, handsomely.
And he's like, oh, stop.
But he is also, because of his own experience, he had a child that got really ill after Christmas.
I think he said it was probably 11 years ago.
And if not for the help of specifically the Madison Area Music Awards, he thinks they would not have been able to pay any of the medical bills.
And you know this as an artist.
He didn't have insurance.
Luckily, his wife had a good job, but it still didn't pay the bills.
So he got help from the mama organization.
And when they got through it, he came out of it saying, I need to pay this forward.
So he started what is now a part of the Madison Area Music Association.
It's called Mama Cares.
And it is specifically meant to help any type of artist.
comedians, musicians, anyone that needs help, whether it's medical or if you're in a family crisis or you just can't pay your electric bill, that's what this is for.
They have so far been able to help other people after raising like $120,000.
Wow,
nice.
Oh, that's inspiring.
That's so great.
know that you're asking the wrong guy, because I don't really like anybody.
So all right, let's hear.
I'm a cat personified.
Let's hear the male vocalist of the year for 2003.
This is Robert Jay and the song.
I had it written down, the March song.
That's the one we're going to play, Conn.
The saddest March of all.
Yes.
I love, love, love this song.
This is Robert J. on a bar ban Friday night with Terry Barr here on Nightlight.
Rockin' up on TP, cause it's his hit the fan.
Cancelin' our activities, remember to wash our hands.
No school, no shows, no sports, no more basketball.
We're lightin' in the madness, the status march of all.
No elbow bumps, no fist bumps, just social distancing.
Sanitizers and face masks, travel bans and quarantines.
No work, no gigs, no tips, no checks, no basketball.
We're marching in the madness, the saddest march of all.
It's times like these, we all just got to come together.
Reach out and stay connected, try to help.
As you run alone, I can spare a couple rows.
I'll leave them out on the front porch, just drive by,
them and go home.
Yeah, I will keep your distance.
Poor souls who are dying.
Friends are losing businesses, families are crying.
No school, no shows, no sports, no more basketball.
in a man's head, the saddest march of all.
No Disneyland, no Broadway, no MLB.
Just staying at home and laying low for the
through the society.
No skin, no shows, no sports, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That
feels like when I was doing stand-up in Chicago in the 90s we
wander over to Kingston Mines or Blues etc occasionally and I it's like I could hear him there like he's got a great voice and a good blues voice.
a fun to
no longer
Same.
No a great song though and I'm sure he'll be a great interview tomorrow night.
All right so tell us about, am I saying this right, Sawasco?
Yes.
Laura Sawasco.
Look at me.
Tell us about Laura Sawasco, who will also be on Max Inc.
tomorrow night.
really
Yeah.
Well, she's a you guys or I don't know if you were her website where I saw this, but she's a quadruple threat.
She can sing, play piano, guitar, and she's beautiful.
And all of four of those are true.
All right, we have to do a quick break.
When we come back, we're going to hear the song Home from Laura Sawasco, who is a Door County resident.
It sounds like, too, we can tap into that as well.

I have already seen a couple of Robins and heard singing Cardinals, hopeful signs.
I concede I am no meteorologist.
Like Brittany Merlot, she knows her weather highs and her weather lows.
I would listen to Brittany read the phone book.
She expresses the forecast with heart and soul.
Maybe explain to young Conrad what a phone book is.
Oh, that's funny.
I know what a phone book is.
All right, steady Eddie.
He's sitting on one steady Eddie.
I'm kidding.
He says, hopeful steady, but still keeping my snow shovel at the ready.
Eddie.
Well done, Eddie.
That was

Serious effort goes into that text.
Very well said.
Thank you,
Absolutely.
All right, so we're talking about Laura Sawasco.
She's a part-time resident of Nashville, part-time of Washington Island, which I think is really cool.
Why don't we play her song, and then we'll come back and talk a little bit more about her also on Maxine Grady of Tomorrow Night, which is pretty cool.
Right?
Yes.
Yeah.
All right.
So here's Laura Sawasco.
Sawasco, the song is home and it's great.
seven changed since I was just a kid it's where we played baseball and I had my first kids changes overrated there's so much that I would miss when you live amidst memories like this the sky is colored by
The dancing northern lights Billion stars can't light up even the darkest midwest night Looking up with friends drinking a six pack of beer We wonder what is going on up there And it's not fancy, it's not fake And it's given, it's not take
It's a place where everybody knows your name And there's no stop lights, there's no crime Three bars to drink on a Friday night But it's growing old with the people that you know Now it ain't for everyone, but for me it's home
We know each other by the car that we drive Going nowhere fast down every road on a tank of gas No reason to lock our doors No reason to look for more If you got a question, that's what the Bible's for It's not fancy, it's not fake
And it's given, it's not taken It's a place where everybody knows our name And there's no stop lights, there's no crime Three bars to drink on a Friday night Well it's growing old with the people that you know Now it ain't for everyone But for me it's home
You can take your city lights, your concrete jungle paradise.
You can look down at your patch of grass from your overpriced high rise.
I'll be skipping those smooth stones with the ones that I know.
No, it ain't for everyone.
No, it ain't for everyone.
For me, it's home.
That is a beautiful song.
It did.
It's great.
And listen, I am a big city guy, but I love that song.
And the way the lyrics just roll, she's really, really a talented songwriter.

Oh my gosh, let's do it.
Let's get a little group and go see her.
Did she perform up there?
Did you say?

I would wait tables just to hear her sing.

Conrad, you could be the bar back.
We got it.
If she ever

wow fantastic well
If she or Robert J are ever up in this area, I would love to have them on the show.
Just keep that in the back of your mind.
Thank you so much, Terry.
I love her song about college days, too, and I can listen to that later.
So I have it in my iTunes now.
So thank you so much, my friend.
Happy Bar Band Friday night.
Thanks so much, Terry.
Have a great show tomorrow night.
That's Terry Barr.
And this was Bar Band Friday night.
It was great to have you guys with us.

Good night,
Wisconsin.
