Barr Band Friday Night (Hour 2)

Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba and Greg Bach · Fri Apr 11, 2025

Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay.

This is Night Light with Pete Chwaba.

Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now, a guy who writes checks his mouth can't cash.

Pete Chwaba.

Pete Schwaba

That's right, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm just a good-looking rabble who plays by his own rules.

Kristin Lyerly

Oh, hell yeah.

Pete Schwaba

Two of those are true.

Hey, that is the voice of Kristen Lyrely, Doctor Kristen Lyrely.

You have a new show here at Civic Media.

I had to have you on to talk about this, because I think, A, it's about time.

Kristin Lyerly

It's the craziest thing.

Pete Schwaba

And B, given the title of your show and your name and the fact that you're a doctor, you must have been pretty confident in your chances of landing this job, right?

Kristin Lyerly

Did

Pete Schwaba

you have stiff competition?

Kristin Lyerly

When we first started talking about this, I was thinking, Todd's like, we want to do a show.

We think you'd be great.

And I'm thinking, let's make it about health care.

Let's make it about politics.

He's like, no, let's make it about you.

And so it was his idea to make it the Dr. Kristen Lairley show.

I still am not super comfortable with that.

I'll be honest.

Pete Schwaba

Why?

Because you feel like with doctor in there, people are going to assume it's about.

health care or something?

Kristin Lyerly

I just don't feel like it's about me.

I feel like maybe I'm just the spotlight that helps to shine on some of the amazing things that are happening here in this place that I love so much, where my family has been for so long, where I feel so committed and connected.

Pete Schwaba

Born and raised in Kakana,

Kristin Lyerly

right?

So you're a local girl.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

I don't think this is possible, but there might be people out there that don't know a lot about you.

Give us a little background.

Kristin Lyerly

sixth generation Wisconsinites.

My mom came from a dairy farming background east of Lake Winnebago.

My dad, his whole family worked at the mill in Kokona.

And yeah, proud ghost.

I mean, I loved high school.

I still feel very connected to Kokona, still hang out with my high school friends.

Pete Schwaba

What do you mean ghost?

You've said that twice.

Kristin Lyerly

Galloping ghost, that's our house, God.

Isn't that cool?

Did you know that, Conrad?

Pete Schwaba

Galloping goats.

No,

I didn't know that's a

Pete Schwaba

cool name

Kristin Lyerly

You know, I didn't know how cool it was when I was in high school because it's just like what you grow up with but now looking back.

I'm like, oh, yeah Except for the fact that like at the football games we had somebody gallop out on a horse in the ghost costume and there are some questionable imagery Issues there, but it was I think it was authentic.

I don't think it was meant to be scary.

Pete Schwaba

That's probably one of the coolest mascot Delio's I've heard of yeah

the Galloping Ghost.

Kristin Lyerly

Yeah, Red Grange from the University of Illinois.

Yeah, there's a whole history thing there.

He went there?

No.

They thought it was cool.

Where did

Pete Schwaba

they come from then?

Yeah, there's also Walter Payton.

Have

Kristin Lyerly

you heard

Pete Schwaba

of him?

I've never heard of him.

So, all right, so you grew up in Kokona.

You've been all over, but you decided to make Northeastern Wisconsin home.

Kristin Lyerly

Yeah, I went to Minnesota for my undergrad, ended up back lived in a couple different places, ended up back in Madison for my training.

So medical school, my master's in public health.

And then when I left after my residency, I was on Minnesota.

I was going to go back to Minnesota.

That was where my friends were from college.

And that seemed right.

But I came to Green Bay just on a lark to do an interview here at Bellin Hospital.

And it was the nurses.

It really was the nurses.

When I went to interview, yeah, it just felt like home.

And the nurses said, we need you here.

And the more time I spent, I went to lock, stock and bagel.

Pete Schwaba

Got

Kristin Lyerly

some food.

And I thought, okay, Green Bay, I can do this.

I kind of love it here.

And there was something that just, it was like a magnet.

It just pulled me back.

Pete Schwaba

That is fantastic.

All right, so you are a doctor and you speak very articulately and fluently on all these topics that have come up on my show over the many times you've been here.

But what will you be excited to talk about most?

I know it's a community-based show, but you are a doctor.

What issues can you not wait to talk about?

Kristin Lyerly

All of it.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

Kristin Lyerly

Yeah.

So this weekend, Emily Cephos from Appleton is my guest and we're talking about the Supreme Court race and what this means for Wisconsin.

And that's a great conversation.

If you haven't met Emily, she's delightful.

She's a mom.

She's an educator.

She's an organizer.

She cares deeply about her community.

So it's just, it's a conversation.

And that's really what the show is.

It's like you're sitting around the table with us, having some coffee, chatting.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

Kristin Lyerly

And I think you walk away, I hope you walk away feeling informed and entertained and like you're part of us, because that's what this community is.

And I think that's the thing that really drew me back.

At first I thought, is it because I'm from here that I felt so connected?

But I don't think it's that.

I think it's the people here are just so fundamentally good and kind.

I think about Jordan Love.

Thank you.

Because you're one of them.

Pete Schwaba

Thank you, Chris.

I think

Kristin Lyerly

about Jordan Love when he was on his way.

What was this two years ago?

He was on his way to a playoff game and there was a girl who had like slid off the road.

The weather was bad and he like stopped to help her.

That's what we do here.

When you go to a packer game, you don't park in a ramp.

You park in somebody's yard for 30 bucks and they're like sure you can use the bathroom.

Here's water.

There's nothing like it on earth.

Pete Schwaba

It is.

It's like the whole city is like a big tailgate

Kristin Lyerly

year

Pete Schwaba

round where it's just people interacting and having fun.

That's very well said.

And that's, you know, so does this mean, okay, you ran for Congress?

Yeah.

Not a small undertaking.

Does this mean, or doing the show, will that keep you from doing things like that in the future?

Are you more excited to affect things just with what you say on the air to try to persuade people or are you leaving that door open for another campaign?

Kristin Lyerly

Who knows what's gonna happen.

Yeah.

I love being a doctor.

I still practice pretty much full time.

I work, you know, usually two weeks straight.

at a hospital in Northern Minnesota in rural Northern Minnesota.

But I love that because I get that time with my patients and their families where I can answer questions and help them make really good decisions for themselves.

And the decisions that we make, whether we're talking about vaccines or medications or treatment for cancer or preventive health, it doesn't matter.

Those are the decisions that set us on this trajectory for the rest of our lives.

So I can do that one by one with my patients and that's

But here, I can talk to lots of people all at the same time in a community that I deeply love.

So it's not about an office.

Running for Congress to me wasn't about being in Congress, it was about making a difference.

So I didn't win that seat, but the connections I made and the difference, the community that we built, it was totally worth it.

So I don't know what the future holds, we'll see.

Pete Schwaba

All right, you ran a great campaign and I think you're right.

elevates your profile because you have great things to say.

And you are part of this community and you do good things, whether it's through your medical practice or just on the air, you've been a guest on so many shows,

Kristin Lyerly

on civic media, all the

Pete Schwaba

show, everybody knows you.

Kristin Lyerly

I need a doctor, where's

Pete Schwaba

Lyra Lee?

Is there a guest that you can't wait to have on your show or that you really hope to get on your show?

Kristin Lyerly

Oh, there are so many.

My list is endless.

I just had,

a beer with a medical student from the Medical College of Wisconsin.

We've got a medical school in Green Bay.

Did you know that?

Pete Schwaba

No, I didn't

Kristin Lyerly

know.

We have a medical school in Green Bay, and it's not big.

Pete Schwaba

Accredited?

Yeah, it is.

It's not like a guy like me

Kristin Lyerly

teaching,

Pete Schwaba

right?

Kristin Lyerly

So the Medical College of Wisconsin is a school out of Milwaukee, and they have a couple different spokes.

They've got one in Wausau, and they've got one in Green Bay.

They're not huge, but they're this really...

like a sticky group of students.

They all, we all know each other.

They're integrated in the community.

And actually the UW has different groups of students all across the state.

Cause the goal is not to train students to practice in Madison, Milwaukee.

It's to train students to practice.

everywhere.

We need doctors in Hayward.

We need doctors in Seymour.

We need doctors in Green Bay.

So we want to get these students out to these different places.

So I just had a wonderful conversation with this woman who is probably going to go into OBGYN.

And the more we talked, the more we were like, and we can do this, and we can do this, and we can do that.

And it's all about building that sense of community and how can we get more information and bring more people in so

Pete Schwaba

that

Kristin Lyerly

we've all got what we need to be able to live our best lives.

Pete Schwaba

And just feeding off each other's enthusiasm.

to get things done and make a difference.

Kristin Lyerly

This is fantastic.

And then we were talking to one of the bartenders and he's a big biker.

He's involved with the Green Bay Bike Collective.

And it turns out her husband is a giant cyclist.

When they lived in Milwaukee and she was doing her original training, her husband was really involved in the biking community there.

So now we got him plugged in to the biking community here in Green Bay, which does all this advocacy work and makes all these trails that make it safe to bike in Green Bay.

I mean, just all of the connections are just, that's what it's all about.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, that's exciting.

I can tell you're very excited to do this.

I am willing to be on your show as a guest, but I'm going to need a signing bonus and a per diem.

Kristin Lyerly

Okay.

Pete Schwaba

Okay.

Kristin Lyerly

I

Pete Schwaba

don't know what he's going to bring

to the

Pete Schwaba

show.

He can't.

Kristin Lyerly

Okay.

He has no say in my per diem.

I don't know what he's going to bring to the show.

So wait a minute.

When you say

Pete Schwaba

someone's a biker, I equate that to like, you know, Harleys, but are you just a guy pulling up on a Schwinn varsity or what?

Kristin Lyerly

They're

Pete Schwaba

all bikes.

I'm just saying I didn't know I'm trying to paint a picture in my head.

Kristin Lyerly

He's a commuter.

So even in the winter, he rides his bike.

Pete Schwaba

Bicycle.

Kristin Lyerly

Bicycle.

Wow.

Yeah.

He puts like winter tires on his bike so he can ride.

I do that too.

You know, I've got one of those fatties.

In the winter, you do that?

Yeah.

Oh,

Pete Schwaba

yeah.

Why?

Kristin Lyerly

Why not?

Pete Schwaba

You have a car?

Kristin Lyerly

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

OK.

No judgment.

I could never see myself doing it.

It's fun.

It's

Kristin Lyerly

different than riding in the summer.

Pete Schwaba

Well, yeah, it's a lot colder.

Kristin Lyerly

Yeah, it's harder.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah,

Kristin Lyerly

so... Suck it up, buttercup.

Pete Schwaba

What I love the most is when I'm driving around Marinette, Wisconsin, early in the morning and I see a bunch of, it's like five below and

Kristin Lyerly

it's

Pete Schwaba

January and I see eight bikes outside the bar.

Kristin Lyerly

Wait, are you talking about Harleys or bicycles?

No, I'm

Pete Schwaba

talking about bicycles.

Kristin Lyerly

Like

Pete Schwaba

people just were like,

Kristin Lyerly

you know.

Are those the people who can't drive?

Correct.

Yeah, they've,

Pete Schwaba

the court has stepped in.

Kristin Lyerly

Yes.

Pete Schwaba

And they're, you know, and, you know, at least when you're on a bike and you've had a few cocktails at six AM, you're only taking,

your own life hopefully they're wearing helmets i don't know i

Kristin Lyerly

probably not

Pete Schwaba

i don't know um god what else so anything else you want to say about your show

Kristin Lyerly

oh my gosh i i would

love for folks in the community to let us know what they want to hear about.

So one of the conversations I had with the medical student was she worked in foster care before she started medical school, and she was sharing some of the experiences that she had.

We think of foster care as like, yeah, that's a great alternative.

Well, what does it really mean?

She said, oh, I've got stories.

I said, oh, I'd love to hear your stories.

Yeah, there's a guest.

Are you familiar with the name, the local Green Bay name, Robert Kennedy?

Long time news man.

He's been around forever.

No, not that not the RFK junior who's ruining our health infrastructure

Pete Schwaba

could have a place in

Kristin Lyerly

our Robert Kennedy Yeah, I would love to have him come on.

We're talking about like what would his what kind of stories has he seen throughout his illustrious career?

What can he tell us about?

Journalism and how it's changed over the decades.

I think people would be really interested in hearing that so many there's no end to the stories

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, I think you're awesome.

What time is the show on?

Kristin Lyerly

It's on Saturdays and Sundays at three and then available wherever you get your podcasts.

Pete Schwaba

I love that I texted you earlier and I said it's too late for me to go to med school and you texted back gynecology.

Yeah.

I felt creepy even reading that.

So

Kristin Lyerly

did you?

Pete Schwaba

You're a jokester.

And when you get back from Minnesota, let's have you on for a typical Kristen visit, okay?

Kristin Lyerly

Okay, let's do it.

Good

Pete Schwaba

luck with you.

Good luck with the show.

Thank you.

It's Dr. Kristin Lirely.

Check out her show here on Civic Media, 3 o'clock Saturday and 3 o'clock Sunday.

This is Pete Schwab.

And Night Light will be right back with more on the Civic Media Radio Network.

Welcome back.

Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I am Pete Schwabba, and we are having some fun here on a Friday night.

Sean Hannish, Kristen Lyrely, if you kid me, where do you find a lineup like that?

And it's a bar band Friday night, ladies and gentlemen, which means the big fun is on the way.

Her name is Terri Barr, and she will be joining us at 735 with new music and fun conversation.

Conrad, I don't.

You know, I know you have your typical producing duties you do on a nightly basis But you also have to tell me when like a big chunk of hair is out of out of place here.

I had this crazy thing going on here And you didn't tell me so the whole show

I'm gonna be honest.

You know, he just looks the same, you know, so I just I Don't know whether it's it's offer or if it's on you know what I mean?

Pete Schwaba

I feel like I look like a fool in front of Sean Hannish and now he's judging me

No, he was

Pete Schwaba

probably never gonna come back on the show again He's got this he's got this amazing beard that he puts a lot of time and effort in nude and then he gets on the show and the host has a wing thing happening with his hair I

mean, do you see mine?

Look how crazy mine's getting right now,

Pete Schwaba

but you don't care.

Yeah, what is

going on?

I don't care I just

Pete Schwaba

have a

colleague so

If if I come out of the shower and don't brush my hair instantly, it does whatever it wants.

So I just I didn't I got out of the shower and I was rushing.

So I was like, don't have time.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

So I used that like the hand brush, you know.

Pete Schwaba

Do you actually brush your hair?

Yeah.

Oh, I don't kid.

Pete Schwaba

You got like a comb and everything at home.

I don't use a comb.

I use I use a brush only.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

I haven't I I have not brushed or combed my hair probably since I was 15.

I swear to God, I just, I get out and I just do my fingers and it goes, it's kind of, that's what it is.

So I, I mean, if I wanted to like mat it down, I'd go brush your comb, but it would just poof back up.

That's, that's my, you know, I like using the brush because it gets that good, that good finish on it.

You know what I mean?

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

Oh, I

Pete Schwaba

get it.

And a good head of hair.

But you are doing for a cut.

It's been at least two weeks since you

had a haircut.

I got one booked in May, so growing it up for a couple more weeks.

Pete Schwaba

Tighten that up, buddy.

Tom, on the text line, our question of the night is, where is your favorite spot, folks, to have a drink or a cocktail?

We've heard some great bar names, Marinette, Oshkosh, Appleton Green Bay.

Tell us where your favorite spot is.

It could be a dive bar.

It could be a nice bar, a restaurant, your back porch, your yard.

Where do you like to have a nice cocktail?

Sit and have a drink.

I said earlier, I have a chair at home that I can look out and see beautiful trees, play some poker and have a drink.

What did you say, Con?

I said Monica's on Aster in Milwaukee.

Pete Schwaba

Oh yeah, Monica's in Milwaukee.

That's right.

Yeah, that's a good joint.

And

they

Pete Schwaba

have dive bar prices.

I hate when they say a place is a dive bar and it's like, oh, $9 for a beer.

That's not a dive bar.

Okay.

So I'll say reasonable people in there.

You can catch stuff from that's a dive bar.

Oh,

Pete Schwaba

no.

Just saying,

you know, I'll say reasonable Milwaukee is like $7 for a drink instead of nine.

Yeah.

I mean, a double Milwaukee is a lot of money.

I remember going out to

to bars in college and coming back and be like, well, I thought I only had like a couple of drinks.

How did this come out to $90?

Pete Schwaba

That's funny.

I remember being in college and there was a guy who, uh, one of my friends, he's like, man, I dropped 60 bucks.

60 bucks.

And like, that's kind of a lot now even, but back then.

Yeah.

When you're like 22 and you're buying drinks for people hoping it leads you to meet a girl or whatever you just throw it around like It's insane what people spend when they go out Tom on the text line.

He's in New Berlin He says being in the Navy station in San Diego did not see the Brewers until the World Series in 82 lost a hundo to a how to a Fan watching will be a good cry to a loose fan

I don't know what he means by that, but he had a very emotional, Tom had a very emotional reaction or will.

He'll have a good cry when he finally sees the film.

So I'm with you, Tom.

Check it out.

Let us know what you think.

I'm going to watch it this weekend.

I'm excited to see it.

I have really, truly heard amazing things.

It's supposed to be just an absolutely brilliant documentary.

Tom also says, I love you, doctor.

Yes.

Shout out for Kristen Lierly.

Everybody loves

Kristen.

On the stream, Dave says Garage Beer.

Pete Schwaba

Garage beer the hell's that having a beer in

the garage garage.

Okay.

Pete Schwaba

Well fair enough.

It's a good one Dave my favorite like when I When I lived in LA I had a couple friends other dads at the school that really were into scotch and that got me into scotch and The weather's just so great.

You could just sit out in the backyard and those guys would have like one scotch They were like raised in LA so they don't get the whole drinking thing.

You don't just have one scotch

I mean, I applaud you for trying to practice moderation, but you got to at least have a second scotch.

But I played by the rules and it was fun.

It's great.

I love sitting outside, having a cocktail.

There's nothing better.

Or a garage.

And so people did in LA, too.

They used their garage and just kept the door open all the time.

And it was like their sitting area.

You see that in Marinette, though, too.

Do you see that where you live, Conrad?

People just keep their garage open and sit in the garage.

Yes, definitely near Lambo.

You know, yeah,

Pete Schwaba

Lambo for sure.

Yeah.

Um, I mean, it's kind of, it would be kind of, I don't know, I've kind of weird in the apartment building, having your garage is a place to.

Pete Schwaba

Well, you don't have a, you don't have a garage in an apartment building.

I mean, not in the apartment building across the little road is our

Pete Schwaba

garage.

That would be weird.

That's the carport.

Hey, do we have time for that Todd Berry clip?

I think that's so funny with the cat.

That's only like

40 seconds.

Yeah, we can play

Pete Schwaba

that.

Let's play.

This is a comic, a Todd Berry, very funny guy.

I did Caroline's Comedy Hour with him years ago.

New York comic.

I love this bit.

I live right here in New York City.

The building I live in charges me $50 a month because I have a cat.

It's a spiteful pet fee to have.

Remember being in the leasing office, sign a lease, guys like, so it's just you in the apartment?

Yeah, just me and my cat.

Also, it's not just you in the apartment.

There's also something this big living there.

Yeah, she's the size of my toaster.

You have a toaster?

You gotta come clean with me, my man.

I'll have a couple of spoons also.

Okay, we'll go 50 for the cat, 30 for the toaster.

Eight bucks each for the spoons.

I can make that choke last 19 hours if I want to.

Pete Schwaba

Ladies and gentlemen, it is Bar Band Friday night.

Are you excited, Conrad?

Oh,

I am ready.

Pete Schwaba

Is Terry waiting in the wings, as they say?

Yes, she is.

All right, fantastic.

We're going to do it all when we come back after Civic Media's news team tells you what's up.

Terry Barr coming up next.

Time to check out original music with Bar Band Friday on Nightlight.

Now your host, Pete Schwabba, and special guest, Terry Barr.

It is that time of the week, ladies and gentlemen.

It's Friday.

T-G-I-F-B-B-F.

Bar Band Friday.

BBFN.

How does that sound?

Pete Schwaba

Oh, I think we started something there, Terry.

Terry

Barr is here

Pete Schwaba

first.

Yeah, from Max Inc Radio.

She is one of the hosts and joins us here every Friday night for Barband Friday Night, which she was the inspiration for and it's great to have you.

It was just last week.

I was saying we were sitting there in person, cutting a rug in the studio.

It was fun.

That was a lot of fun.

And I think if I ever hear a Gagnore in Madison, I'm going to join you.

Yes.

Pete Schwaba

All right.

Fantastic.

And we'll maybe bring some musicians in next time, too, if we can.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

I know the studio is kind of under construction, so to speak, but that was so much fun.

And it's great to have you on the show tonight, Terri.

How are you doing?

I'm good.

Yeah.

You know, it's always good to get to this point during the week, because I know it means, we're done at least for a few days, right?

Pete Schwaba

Exactly.

You got big plans this weekend?

Um, actually, one of the guest musicians that we'll be talking about.

Yes.

Let's save that.

Yeah.

I'll be there with them tomorrow.

Pete Schwaba

That's so fun.

I that you must have been.

Well, we'll get into that.

All right.

Who do you want to start with?

Do you want to start with?

Clyde or should we start with Mr. Nielsen?

It's your

time, your day.

It's

Pete Schwaba

your show, so you

choose.

Pete Schwaba

I know, but you know so much about the... All right, let's start with Clyde.

Okay.

Pete Schwaba

Because he's got a great story.

This is also known as the funky drummer, Clyde Stubblefield.

He played with James Brown.

Tell us about Clyde.

I know.

Isn't it incredible when you think of all the songs you know from James Brown, Clyde Stubblefield was his funky drummer.

And what is happening right now, there is a young man who grew up in Madison.

His dad got to be really good friends as a fellow drummer with Clyde, because Clyde lived in Madison, Wisconsin for most of his adult life.

People are still surprised to find that out.

Pete Schwaba

So that would have been like in the 60s maybe 60 70

Oh right up until now he passed away a couple of years ago But like that entire time period he after when you know the whole James Brown thing at some point ended He started doing his own showcases where he put together a band they would play every week and they would bring other musicians up to play so there are a number of Madison and southern, Wisconsin musicians that can brag and say I got

to sing while Clyde Stubblefield was on the drums.

Pete Schwaba

That is so cool.

Yeah.

So he's he's a beloved figure by many people.

But I think what is surprising, he is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

James Brown is alone as a solo, not with the band.

So this young man that I spoke of, who's originally from Madison, Trevor Banks started a petition.

just a few weeks ago, he's got more than 2000 people who have signed it, and people can sign it from anywhere.

This doesn't have to be just Wisconsin, but he is working so hard to get the word out about Clyde Stubblefield, what he contributed to music, and why he deserves his own place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Pete Schwaba

That is really something.

So what made him I mean was it and really I've been told by so many musicians Terry

the

Pete Schwaba

drummer drives the band drives the song drives like You can't really say me James Brown is James Brown.

He's great But like this Clyde probably had a lot to do with that success and finding such great.

Well, what should we play first?

We've got two clips of Clyde

Well,

and I think Conrad did a nice job and he actually put them together.

So you'll hear me talking with Trevor, who's behind the petition right now, and you'll hear us talk about, give the drummer some, and then you will hear where James Brown calls out Clyde Stubblefield on stage to give the drummer some.

Pete Schwaba

And Conrad put these two together?

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

That is, I can't believe modern technology.

I don't even have to talk in between.

All right, that's fantastic.

Well done, Khan.

Let's hear some Clyde's Doublefield and Terry Barr.

Clyde's imprint on music.

as we know it is so vast and we've consumed it, we've recycled it, we've digested it and regurgitated it and xeroxed and spit it out and danced to it in its purest form and it stood the test of time, it's transcended genre, it's transcended time and decades and eras.

My motivation in getting Clyde's story out is to

maintain that legacy that he deserves to preserve his iconicness and his contributions to not just funk, not just hip-hop, but like the global landscape of music.

It's the reality, like that's what Clyde contributed to the world.

His impact and his fingerprint on music is so vast and he's the foundation for so much.

It's a crime that he's not, you know, enthrined in an institution like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I found out through you

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland has some of Clyde's drumsticks on display.

of this very long historical story.

And you know, when you hear those beats, here's something that people are still learning about Pete.

His drum beats were used under songs done by LL Cool J, Run DMC, Public Enemy, but basically when you talk to people, they took them without Clyde's okay.

So Clyde.

for any of the drum beats they used.

Pete Schwaba

That is horrible.

Isn't that something?

Yeah, it was an inspiration.

All these people thought he was something as a drummer.

So, you know, they hear those beats and you can imagine like the funky music they could put to it.

One other thing I want to tell you about who was really inspired by Clyde Stubblefield, Prince.

The two never met.

But Trevor, the gentleman I was talking to in that interview, Trevor told me that Prince paid all of Clyde Stubblefield's medical bills when he was in the hospital.

He had bladder cancer and had close to $100,000 worth of medical bills.

Prince paid it all.

And the two never got to meet because they both passed away before they had a chance to meet.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, that's awful.

What a cool story though like to me Terry artists should not do that to other artists You don't

take

Pete Schwaba

that is just such horrible karma, but it kind of like comes around when you hear the Prince story.

That's so cool Like Prince even more you can hear more of that interview tomorrow night on

That maxing

Your

Pete Schwaba

show?

Yeah, that we know so much about.

I was trying to think of live in the layer, but I couldn't.

I was totally, my brain totally shut down, so I was going to

go maxing.

That's okay.

It'll be on at 9.30 if you need a particular time to listen.

9.30.

The cool thing about the show tomorrow night, Trevor, again, the young guy

I

interviewed, his dad is going to be on as well, but his dad is hosting a big Clyde Stubblefield birthday celebration.

So we're kind of coming at this from two different

angles trying to get Clyde's story done in a documentary which Trevor is working on.

Also the petition to get him in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

And then the third thing is just to celebrate his birthday.

Pete Schwaba

That is really so what was Trevor's connection to Clyde again?

Just a fan or did they work

together?

Trevor was a little kid when he first met Clyde because his dad Joey B Banks is a well-known drummer around town.

Joey.

meets Clyde, they become great friends, they go to each other's house to play poker.

Pete Schwaba

Come

on.

And so so Trevor said, oh, yeah, Clyde would call and I, you know, I'm a little kid, I'm answering the phone and it's like, I need to talk to your dad and wait, who are you?

It's Clyde Stubblefield, you silly.

Pete Schwaba

Clyde Stubblefield, Joey B Bank.

See, I could not, the names are just too cool.

I could never fit in there, Terry.

I need like a nickname like sticks or something, you

know.

I know, I feel like I need one too now.

Oh, you've got

Pete Schwaba

it.

You got Terry Barr.

Bar Band Friday night is named after you.

Okay, thank you.

Pete Schwaba

Terry Barr is with us.

All right, let's move on to, this is, now I know you have a connection to this next artist you're bringing us and this is pretty cool.

Tell us about Mr. Nielsen now.

Yeah, you know, I became a fan almost on accident.

They were playing a show in Madison and they play all over.

I mean, they travel the world, another one of those.

But they play in Wisconsin a lot because it's easy.

They're based in Rockford, but we claim Rockford as our own anyways.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, his dad is, you know, that guy Rick Nielsen.

that plays guitar and helped found the band Cheap Trick.

Pete Schwaba

Absolutely.

I know.

Well, and the funny story with Cheap Trick, they were discovered and signed to a record label at a bowling alley show they were playing in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Pete Schwaba

Get out of here.

Oh,

Pete Schwaba

that is fantastic.

So that's one fun little story.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

Rick obviously stayed in Rockford.

That was his home.

And so he raised his family there.

So now you have Miles Nielsen, who has his own band called The Rusted Hearts.

Pete Schwaba

Great name.

They're fabulous.

And Miles plays guitar, I would say equally well as his dad.

but very different kind of music where his dad obviously cheap trick is more pop rock.

Miles has kind of gone off in this really cool Americana storytelling sort of vein and they still hop in a big old van and drive wherever they need to to do shows and he has never wanted his dad to do something special for him.

He wants to make it on his own.

Now, Miles' brother, Dax, plays with cheap tricks.

So Dax is doing okay.

Pete Schwaba

He's like, dad, help me out.

I'm fine with that.

He has no

problem.

Yeah, right.

And Miles is like, no, no, thanks.

I'm good.

I can do this on my own.

But they play a, I guess I would call it an annual show in Wisconsin Dells every year.

It's called The Stampede.

All of the Miles Nielsen and the Rustin Hartz fans are considered the herd.

So now it's the stampede, so the whole herd is coming to the

Pete Schwaba

stampede.

That's so

cool.

And yeah, this is happening this weekend.

Pete Schwaba

And now there's something else that I think is cool.

They're having, you're taking your bar ban Friday night to the Wisconsin Dells.

And what can people expect from you tomorrow night,

Terry?

Oh, I guess, you know, to say something like, let me introduce to you.

I know how that is.

I know you did that with the film festival.

It's so fun, isn't it?

Pete Schwaba

You know what?

I did that, but when it comes to music, I opened for Huey Lewis in the news in South Carolina years ago when I was a comedian.

But at the time, Hootie and the Blowfish were the big band.

And I almost said, I said, please welcome to the stage, Huey Lewis in the news.

Like I said, Huey, because I almost said Hootie.

It's such an idiot.

So, but that makes me nervous, you know, introducing bands, but how did you get involved with that?

Well, I have met them on and off now, you know, that first show where I met them in Madison.

I had a friend who had met them a long time ago and took me up to introduce me.

They played quite a few fundraisers that I've been a host of.

And we've become, I would like to say, friends over time.

And I just really believe in what they do.

Their music is just gorgeous.

So I'm

to know them and call them a friend and be a little bitty baby part of the show.

Pete Schwaba

That's fantastic.

I'm sure it'll be a blast.

All right.

Terry Barr is here, ladies and gentlemen.

It is a Barbie and Friday night.

We have to very short break and then we're going to come back and hear from Miles Nielsen and the rest at hearts.

And before we do the break, let's read our steady Eddie text for the night.

He says, Pete, my favorite place to have a drink outside the Minona Golf Course Clubhouse sitting in the shade on a warm sunny afternoon with golf buddies.

after playing nine holes of golf.

I love that.

Terry, when we come back, I'm going to ask you that same question.

So think about

what you like to drink.

Pete Schwaba

Terry Barr rocking us tonight on Nightlight with Peach Wabble.

We're coming right back on the Civic Media Radio Network.

Despite what you're

Pete Schwaba

hearing, it is a bar band Friday night.

It is also national barbershop quartet night.

And I was in a barbershop quartet in high school and had so much fun with it.

I still love the music.

Oh,

I'd love to hear you sing.

No,

Pete Schwaba

you wouldn't, Terry.

That would kill the whole party.

I'm not going to do that.

Thank you for playing that, Conrad, and indulging me.

And it's a bar band Friday night, ladies and gentlemen.

Terry Barr is here, as she is, just about every Friday night.

We're talking about Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts.

Great name for a band.

You sent us two songs.

I think we're going to play Kentucky.

Is that OK?

Oh, that is a wonderful song.

I

Pete Schwaba

love the song.

Yeah.

And he he wrote it in Kentucky when they were at a recording studio there.

So it's just kind of about all the emotions and what he was thinking and feeling while they were there.

And he was kind of missing some people.

And you'll hear it all in the words.

Pete Schwaba

It's a really cool song.

I love

it.

This

Pete Schwaba

is Miles Nielsen and the Rested Hearts.

He is the son of Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick.

And Terry will tell you more about.

what is going on with Cheap Trick that involves Terry tomorrow night in the Wisconsin Dells after we hear this great song called Kentucky.

Dear Kentucky, you're killing me.

Take two.

One, two,

three, four.

Well, Kentucky, Kentucky, oh, why do you want me?

Why do I laid your feet?

Well you know I am easy Emporious for whiskey Rest me and put me to sleep Well Kentucky Kentucky you make it so easy Kentucky you're killing me

Well now smoking is sexy and cigarettes on me Sweet little Southern James Well the ashtrays are smiling as I try to fill them And the chief wins every time Well Kentucky, Kentucky you make it so easy Kentucky you're killing me

Now what were you after?

Now I'm

a disaster Who needs looking after?

Let's hang from the rafters and sing

Kentucky, Kentucky, oh, why do you want me?

Why do I let your feet?

All this talk about bluegrass

and I'm seeing

green in Lexington, I was obscene.

Welcome, Kentucky, Kentucky, oh, make it so easy.

Kentucky, you're killing me.

Dear Kentucky, oh.

Great

Pete Schwaba

song.

Yeah, very different than Cheap Trick, but a really nice tune.

Wow, I really like that.

They can rock out, too.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah,

the other

Pete Schwaba

song you sent, it was a little more of a rocker.

A little more upbeat.

Yeah, that one is called Heavy Metal, and you could look it up on YouTube, and they have an official video that goes with it.

They also do a great version of a couple of cheap tricks, really popular songs, but they do those songs in their own way.

And it's just really fun to hear these done by somebody related to the cheap trick band, but they're still doing it their own way.

Pete Schwaba

I love that.

All right.

So tell us again, Terry, what is happening tomorrow

night?

Let's

Pete Schwaba

get one more plug in.

This sounds like so much fun.

Oh, it is.

It is.

And people come from all over to be part of the Stampede.

This is an annual event.

Miles invites other bands to come and be part of it as well.

And they'll do, in the afternoon, a singer-songwriter, storyteller thing.

Then each night, they'll be a concert with whatever bands are invited.

And of course, Miles and his band, Headline.

But the cool thing is, if you've never seen a band in the basement of monks,

Bar and Grill.

It's true.

It's a listening room.

That's what it's billed as.

So when you go to see a band there, nobody talks.

You are there for the music.

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

I love that.

I

just came

Pete Schwaba

from the film festival crowds where they're all like with you or like, you know, it's just those kind of crowds are a few and far between.

That's fantastic.

Well, have a great time.

And we've got about a minute left, Terry.

Where do you like to have a drink?

Oh, no.

Put your favorite space to have a drink where it's just Terry.

No one else.

Oh.

Dive bar, nice bar, porch, living room.

Where's Terry kicking back?

You know, five years ago, I probably would have answered this differently, that it would have bent in live music spaces.

OK.

Yeah.

But I've really come to like my deck in the last few years.

you know, listening to the brewers game or picking the music I want to listen to.

And of course, we will often crank it up.

Maybe the neighbors say, oh, what are you listening to tonight?

But there's something about sitting out and the sun is still up and just having that nice cool drink and some great music or some great brewers action.

Pete Schwaba

That is a phenomenal answer.

Thank you, my friend.

Have a great night and have a great time tomorrow night.

Oh, thank you.

You guys, happy weekend.

Pete Schwaba

You too, Terry.

Thanks so much.

That's Terry Barr.

Check out Max, Inc.

Radio tomorrow.

And I would like to thank all my guests, Dr. Kristen Lyrely, Sean Hannish from Just a Bit Outside, Terry Barr.

And thank you for all your texts.

Monday night from Arts for All Wisconsin.

Christina Martin-Rite will be here and Milwaukee based comedian Dana Ehrman.

We'll light it up Monday style.

In the meantime, everybody have a great weekend.

And, uh, Conn, you have a great weekend too.

Thanks.

Thanks.

You got it.

On behalf of the lovable producer Conrad, I'm Pete Chihuahua saying good night,

Wisconsin.
