Pete Schwaba

Welcome back tonight, ladies and gentlemen.

It is so great to have you here on this beautiful, amazing Friday night here in the state of Wisconsin.

We are barreling through a show here about to kick off Act II Stuart J. Waddles is my guest at the moment.

We'll be back to Stuart in just a minute.

He's gonna take a Dolly Parton quiz that Conrad and I teamed up to make.

It's all multiple choice, so he has a fighter's chance, and it doesn't sound like he needs one, because he's a big Dolly Parton fan.

We're talking about Dolly Parton with Stuart, and then it is a Bar Band Friday night.

Terry Barr will be here at 7.35 with new music and a winning personality.

Do you know anyone more pleasant than Terry Barr?

I don't think so.

Even your mom?

Paula?

She used to pack your lunch for God's sakes.

Pick the right answer.

My mom's a great lady.

She's a wonderful person.

Pete Schwaba

Our question of the night is, what is in your sack lunch?

It is national, something, what is it, lunch day or something?

I only used it for the question.

National pack your lunch day?

Pack your lunch, love your lunch.

Pete Schwaba

Love your lunch day.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, it's talk like, go ahead.

Yeah, I know it's national talk like a pirate day.

Just swab the deck during

the break.

It's like work until four day.

Pete Schwaba

Okay.

And I said, not night light.

Pete Schwaba

No,

we don't, we don't celebrate the national holiday.

Okay.

Pete Schwaba

And a lot of people probably worked till four.

I'm not staying that late.

Edward in the 414 says, Vegemite, Branson's Pickle and a Plowman sandwich.

Then again, I'm Scottish.

Thank you, Edward from the 414.

I would heard the term Vegemite sandwich since the minute work song down under.

And I still, I've heard it's not an appealing looking sandwich, I've never tried one.

Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids, he's in the 608 says, I got a rock.

A little Charlie Brown action there, thank you Tyler.

We'll get back to some more of your texts too, we got some.

We just got some new ones.

In fact, Melissa had a great one.

Let's read that, but make a note of that one.

She had a good idea.

All right, we're going to get back to our guest, Stuart J. Waddles.

He covers news for Southeast Wisconsin here at Civic Media.

He doesn't just cover news.

You're the news director.

You can boss the news around Stuart.

That's what I get out of that.

Yeah, I'm a wide-ranging department.

Do you get to see Don Rosen

Pete Schwaba

on a daily basis?

Hey, you do

it.

No, I don't want to.

What?

Pete Schwaba

I was just gonna say, do you get to see Don Rosen on a daily basis?

Not on a daily basis, but yeah, I mean, yeah, we see, I see Don a lot every day.

Pete Schwaba

Okay.

I mean, he's on a different kind of part of a, yeah, yeah, I see Don.

Pete Schwaba

Okay.

You- Sometimes he's in a different room where we actually don't, you know- Oh,

Pete Schwaba

interact.

But sometimes I see him through a window, you know.

Pete Schwaba

What

about-

Pete Schwaba

Try to get him on

the way out though.

Pete Schwaba

Rich LeCasio.

Yeah,

Pete Schwaba

I like rich.

I turned him on to you I said you guys up cuz he was a he's a wrestling guy

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, no, no, I know you like him.

I just didn't know if your paths crossed on a daily basis or not

Yeah, yeah cross pass with him Got a sales guy in there that I worked at a previous radio station with Steve Salisman.

Okay, good rep.

Pete Schwaba

Nice Sounds like things are really cooking And Rich Luccasio, do you know he he does do we have that wrestling I think con can you find that?

Yeah, I mean, I have it right now if you want

me to play.

Let's

Pete Schwaba

hear the Pine Tree Mahler one.

This is Rich Lucasio.

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Rich Lucasio.

You're listening to Nightlight with Pete Schwabba.

I would like to introduce to you the Pine Tree Mahler from Marinette, Wisconsin.

He is Pete Schwabba.

Pete Schwaba

I mean, I have the chills.

Yeah, I'm surprised you don't have the Intercontinental Championship.

I mean, that kind of intro right there.

My

Pete Schwaba

wrestling talent ends right there, though.

I think I could take Rich.

I'm not trying to start anything.

He'll be here on Wednesday.

Maybe we can just have a little rasslin'.

I could set up a ring.

Pete Schwaba

Would that be weird?

I

could set up a ring.

Looks like he got some room behind you there.

Pete Schwaba

Why don't you guys both shut up?

I'm not wrestling.

All right.

So Stuart, we have a Dolly Parton.

You're obviously a big fan.

You know more than Dolly Parton than anybody I've ever met, certainly.

But let's do this quiz.

This is going to be a fun quiz.

It's multiple choice.

Again, not that you need it.

You seem very well versed in the career of Dolly Parton.

But we're going to do this quiz.

Conrad, you got the sound effects ready?

It's just OK.

What about what if he doesn't get it right, though?

You just gonna do that?

Okay.

You talk like a pirate.

That's what we'll do.

Stu, if you don't get one,

Kathryn Lake

Conrad

Pete Schwaba

has to say that.

Okay.

So here we go.

Our nightlight Dolly Parton quiz, collaborative effort between Conrad and myself and ChatGPT.

And we're gonna give that

Kathryn Lake

to, I know you can't say

Pete Schwaba

that.

We're gonna give that to Stuart Waddles right now.

Here we go.

Question.

Okay.

Number nine?

What the hell is that?

All right, hold on.

Question number one.

We start at one.

Here we go.

In which movie did Dolly Parton sing, I Will Always Love You to Bert Reynolds while he was in the bathtub?

Was it A, 9 to 5, B, Rhinestone, C, the best little whorehouse in Texas, or D, Steel Magnolias.

Steel

Magnolias, no, that's best little whorehouse in Texas.

Pete Schwaba

There we go.

That's

ending the album right there.

Pete Schwaba

I kind of knew that after what we'd let him do for the news.

All right, that's an easy one, just to get you started.

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

Number two.

What movie did Dolly Parton star in with Dabney Coleman, Lily Tomlin, and Jane Fonda?

Was it A, Steel Magnolia?

God, Red's got hooked up on Steel.

B, 9 to 5, C, Rhinestone, or D, Straight Talk?

Yeah, that's 9 to 5.

9 to 5.

Dabney Coleman.

What a fun name.

That's a fun name to say.

It's a fun name to think about.

That guy was good.

Pete Schwaba

I have to admit, I totally forgot about Straight Talk.

Yeah?

Pete Schwaba

Did you see

it?

I saw Straight Talk.

I remember seeing Rhinestone, too.

She was in a movie with Sly Stallone.

Pete Schwaba

Stallone, yeah.

Fine actor.

He's the opposite of Dolly Parton, in my opinion.

All right, number three.

What is the full name of Dolly Parton's husband who recently passed away?

Is it A, Charles Dean Smith, B, Carl Thomas Dean, C, Thomas Carl Parton, or D, Carl Dean Johnson.

Yeah, Carl Dean.

Pete Schwaba

Carl Dean.

Carl Dean.

D. How about we go D?

It was Carl Dean Thomas, right?

No?

Pete Schwaba

Carl Thomas Dean?

We don't even have the right... We don't even have the right... No, it's

B. She called him Carl Dean.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, Carl Thomas Dean.

Okay, there.

I think we have the right hand.

Carl Dean, yeah.

He was her CD.

Okay, here we go number four.

What is the and he got that right?

He's three for three Stuart J. Wattles is crushing our Dolly Parton quiz It gets harder as we go on here.

We go.

Okay.

What is the name of Dolly Parton's theme?

Is it a Dolly would it be Smokey Mountain would be saying these all wrong

A was Dolly Land.

I thought Smoky Mountain Wood would have sounded better than World.

Cause you know, it's like a, you know, all right.

C, Dollywood or D, Parton Park.

It should be Parton Park, but I'm going to go C. Lock it in.

Pete Schwaba

Dollywood baby.

All right.

Four for four.

Before it was Dollywood, she bought it.

It was an existing amusement park called Silver Dollar City.

But Dolly bought in in the early 80s and they.

They rebranded.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, wow.

It's a Dollywood now and Dollywood forever.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, that's good to know.

OK.

Yeah.

I was just, I read that because I'm very sophomoric.

And I wrote a script later where the guy's last name was Longwood.

So I had to work.

We've got a stream comment from Sydney Politics says, Jesus, I thought you were doing this because Dolly passed away.

LOL.

She's still good.

I don't

want to do that to anybody.

Pete Schwaba

I apologize.

No, we could take a quiz.

It doesn't have to be a death.

I mean, come on.

Thank you for the.

Celebrate Dolly.

Right.

Celebrate her while she's alive.

Exactly.

Number five.

What year did Dollywood open its doors?

A.

2025.

B.

1946.

C.

1986.

Or D.

2001.

That's going to be 86.

But as I said prior, Silver Dollar City existed, I believe in 81, 82.

They started carving up that mountain in Pigeon Forge.

Pete Schwaba

Fantastic.

I love it.

Number six.

Stuart is five for five, by the way, for those of you scoring at home, and I'm sure you all are.

In the film, Steel Magnolias, what was Dolly Parton's profession?

Was it A, nurse, B, chef, C, salon owner, D, librarian, or F, welder?

What, F?

No, she owned the salon.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, very well done.

Do these get harder?

Because I think I feel like...

They are getting a little bit hard.

Pete Schwaba

Stuart does have kids.

He probably wants to.

Okay.

Number seven.

Dolly Parton starred opposite Sylvester Stallone in which 1988?

Which 1984, Cody?

A. Urban cowboy.

B. Rhinestone.

C. Country strong.

Or D. The singing stallion.

Yeah, it's Rhinestone.

I like the singing stallion though.

I might have seen that one once.

Pete Schwaba

That's on my

list.

Sylvester Stallone before he became a big movie star, was that the one

Pete Schwaba

it was called?

Who's the Italian stallion?

Is that what it was?

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

Well, I don't know.

It was

an adult film, right?

He was.

Pete Schwaba

But he didn't do sex.

He was just like the guy in the background.

Who was naked?

Yeah, he's staring back here.

I'm gonna walk.

Pete Schwaba

Do you have I have such a love hate relationship with Sylvester Stallone Rocky?

It's just phenomenal in the Rambo cut the first two really fun But man has he done some junk and he's hard to watch sometimes Cobra

a big Cobra fan.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, was that the one where he had the match in his mouth?

Stopper my mom will shoot was he in that one

Pete Schwaba

too?

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

That was garbage Copland was good though.

He was good in Copland was good.

Yeah, but it makes

Pete Schwaba

it

I mean Rocky

It gives him the card to do whatever he wants.

He made all those

Pete Schwaba

rockin' movies.

Correct.

He kind of opened with a showstopper, which is probably not very smart, but hey, what are you gonna do?

You don't know that at the time.

All right, back to our Dolly Parton quiz.

Number, it's two out of sevens for seven, by the way, and this quiz shows no sign of let up in sight for me or Conrad.

Number eight, in Rhinestone, what is Dolly's character trying to teach Sylvester Stallone's character to do?

A, ride a horse, B, cook southern food, B, or C?

be a country singer or D open a bar.

I think it's T, but it's been a while since I've seen that one.

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

Even though when he hasn't seen in a while, he crushes.

Yeah.

All right.

Number nine, Stuart is eight for eight.

This is embarrassing Conrad.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

I

blame ChatGPT, OK?

Pete Schwaba

You know what?

I noticed these answers aren't as funny because ChatGPT is not funny.

You used to put outlandish stuff on here.

We're done with ChatGPT.

I got to make

Pete Schwaba

the questions myself.

Yeah, absolutely.

OK, here we go.

Number nine, what is the name of the character Dolly played in StrayTalk, 1992?

Was it A, Daisy Lou, B, Shirley West, C, Shirley Kenyon, D, Maggie Bell?

I think this is going to be the first loss.

I'm just going to say A, but I'm not confident in it.

Pete Schwaba

Stuart

argh

Pete Schwaba

when Charlie out it was C. Shirley Kenyon Nothing to be ashamed

of when them all, huh?

Pete Schwaba

No, you're doing you're doing great.

You're embarrassing.

No questions about Kenny, huh?

No,

Pete Schwaba

I

thought when I was a kid I thought Kenny and Dolly were married Hold on a second.

Pete Schwaba

I know we do it.

Yeah, okay.

Let's just jump

right

Pete Schwaba

there number 13 if you will Dolly Parton co-star with Kenny Rogers on which famous duet a you light up my life be the dance

See islands in the stream.

D endless love.

It's islands in the stream.

Yes.

They also do a great Christmas song.

Christmas to remember.

They did a Christmas

Pete Schwaba

special in

the early 80s.

Pete Schwaba

That's right.

You can pull

that up on YouTube.

That's a seasonal thing in our household.

Pete Schwaba

I forgot all about that one.

And I need some Christmas material.

All right.

We got to squeeze a couple.

The quiz was only 13.

So that was the last question.

Let's bounce back here.

You

know, that's about.

seven more than I thought it should be.

Pete Schwaba

There's a lot of questions there.

Well, you're just so entertaining.

We just thought we would prolong this.

It's Friday.

Give us a break.

Number 11.

What was the name of Dolly Parton's first country hit single?

A. Jolene.

B. Coat of many colors.

C. Dumbland.

D. Here you come again.

I think Jolene came before Coat of many colors, but I'm not 100%, but I'm going to say let's go.

Jolene, let's lock it in.

Pete Schwaba

Erg.

The pirate voice means.

The

money colors came in first.

Pete Schwaba

Since you embarrassed us so much, we're gonna end it on that note, Stuart.

You just crushed the quiz.

Dude, always fun.

Keep up the great work.

Outstanding to see you, buddy.

Good seeing you, too.

Pete Schwaba

All right, that's Stuart J. Walsh.

You got it, buddy.

Check out his work.

If you're down in Southeast Wisconsin on WRJ, he does great work.

We are coming right back to read your text.

It's Peach Wabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio

Network.

It

Kathryn Lake

doesn't mean they're always wrong.

Just take this song and you'll never be...

Pete Schwaba

This is Nightlight with Peshwaba.

Great to have you with me on this Friday.

Conrad Krieger working the board.

We are in the throes of Act 2 here.

That was fun talking to Stuart Waddle.

He is always great to have on the show.

Let's get through some of these texts.

Our question of the night, folks.

It's a good one.

It's National Love Your Lunch Day.

So the question is, what's in your sack lunch?

You can go back to childhood.

You can tell us what you bring to work now.

There are no right

or wrong answers.

Jim from Appleton, he's in the 920.

He says, I was a Packers fan all through the 70s and 80s.

We had such memorable quarterbacks like Jerry, Randy Wright, John Nales, Scott Carpenter, the best one.

And still my favorite was Lynn Dickey.

Where did this come from?

Is that when we were talking about the Packers?

Yeah, you know, because... It was so long.

Am I that far behind on text?

I

mean...

Jim was, you know, through the Bad Packers years too.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah,

he was.

He's a Packers fan.

Pete Schwaba

Well, he just said his favorite is Lynn Dickey.

I mean, that poor guy.

I mean, that's just a cool

Pete Schwaba

name.

It is.

It's not as bad.

It's not as good as John Longwood.

Thank you, Jim.

Monica from Mount Horrib says, took to the office Monday, cantaloupe, tomatoes, and green peppers all from my garden.

Oh, man, that sounds good.

And cheese and crackers, nor not from my garden.

You don't grow cheese and crackers in your garden, Monica?

No, I don't.

Pete Schwaba

I think you

need a special plant.

I thought you had a green thumb.

Pete Schwaba

All right, thank you, Monica.

I'm the 608.

Jim from Appleton again.

My sack lunch all through school.

And the first 10 years of work was two slices of big bologna.

It's just a funny

Pete Schwaba

word.

Bologna.

That's what it should.

Pete Schwaba

I know.

I like that.

One slice of cheese and miracle whip and apple and a can of RC Cola.

That is old school, baby.

I can't stand big bologna anymore.

Big bologna anymore.

I still like apples and RC Cola though.

That's awesome, Jim.

Thank you.

John from Madison says, good evening, Peter and Conrad.

Love you guys.

Thanks for the great shows every night.

Oh, thank you, John.

How standing to hear that?

I got the chills, Conrad.

I just got a chill.

I felt it too.

Grabbed my shawl out of the car.

John also says Mannix and Beretta are both great, are both a great revisit.

I don't think I could do Beretta just because he turned out, Robert Blake turned out to be such a creep.

And I'd live three blocks from the restaurant where he shot his wife in the car.

That was so weird.

But I do remember watching Beretta and I did like it.

Mannix on the other hand, all over that buddy.

John says, how I met is a must watch for humans.

I agree.

He limits it to humans though.

I don't know what to make of that.

I don't know.

I think dogs would like it

Pete Schwaba

too.

Mark from Prairie to Sack says, nine to five.

Yeah.

Little Dolly talk there.

Love it, Mark.

Thank you.

Melissa from Willy Street in Madison says, hi guys.

Just a suggestion here.

I love this con.

You should do a push notification for the question of the night on the app.

Can we do that?

I'll get my tools.

Do you have push capabilities?

You've been working out.

Maybe if I get my tools.

Pete Schwaba

All right, get the tools.

I think there's a slide rule over there.

Whatever, just let's do that.

That's a great suggestion.

Thank you, Melissa.

John, Melissa's other half, I won't say better half.

Maybe is, maybe is, I don't know.

Best pack lunch.

Mom's PB&J and Scooby thermos of chicken noodle soup.

Wow.

John's mom loved them.

Two chocolate milks and a cup of fruit cocktail, obviously.

I don't know if that's obvious, John, but yeah, all right.

How are you feeling about fruit cocktails?

Pete Schwaba

I mean, it's not as healthy as fruit, but I'll eat it.

It's probably better than a little Debbie snack cake.

That, I mean, the sugar is, you know, it could replicate a little Debbie snack

Pete Schwaba

cake.

Yeah, no, go on, it's probably true.

John says 70s pack lunch was amazing because moms were so competitive.

Oh, that's interesting Dave who is usually on the stream, but texting us old-school tonight says butter bread with government cheese.

Nothing like it.

Yeah, baby.

Pete Schwaba

I the butter bread.

I'll take that,

you know I used to like butter bread, but now it has to be toasted for me.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah, it's kind of weird just butter on In fact, it's

toasted and there's some butter on it.

Then I'm like, you know what?

Pete Schwaba

Even if you're at a fish fry, it's kind of gross

That's the only place I could-

Wait, I forgot.

I love rye bread, so I don't agree with that.

Pete Schwaba

And onions on it.

That toasted?

The rye bread with the butter and the onions?

Dynamite.

Pete Schwaba

All right, before we bring our pal Terry Barron, because it is a Barman Friday night, folks, we are going to play a clip that I think is really funny.

This comedian, Gary Goldman, he's the guy, and we'll play this one night on this show.

He does the state abbreviation.

Bit which is maybe the funniest bit.

I've ever heard but it's like five minutes long But tonight here's a little taste of Gary Gaulman

Millennials they're just much more accepting of each other they feel safe around each other accepting their accepting of non conforming gender roles and identities and I grew up at a time the definition of manhood was so narrow you were either Clint Eastwood or you were Richard Simmons there was a

Nothing in between.

There were no Paul Rudds.

No kind-eyed Mark Ruffalo's.

You had to be so hard.

Mark Ruffalo.

Ruffalo.

I

Pete Schwaba

love it.

Yeah.

That's the Boston thing.

He's right, though.

I remember that thinking, you know, I liked when there was a little bit less testosterone in the world.

It lasted a little while, now it's back to craziness.

But like...

Where I grew up my neighborhood where we grew up if you got hot or overheated in the summer you did not wear shorts That meant you were soft You wore blue jeans and if you got hot you took your shirt off your t-shirt and you tucked it in your back pocket So we look like numbskulls walking around with no shirt and pants and When I moved to Wisconsin kind of I'm not kidding Everybody like people were they were kind of ahead of the time people wore shorts.

I was like this is not too bad

I mean I wear shorts in this in the winter so

Pete Schwaba

I know you do.

You got lawns on tonight though.

What's going on there?

You know, laundry day?

I got this package.

Pause.

I ordered this, you know, one of my favorite brands, Fabletics.

I ordered and they said it was gonna be here next Thursday.

Pete Schwaba

Okay.

But it showed up today.

Pete Schwaba

So you were excited to wear it.

I thought maybe you

didn't have shorts on hand.

You know, it also could be laundry day.

But I was excited.

Pete Schwaba

Bottom line, Conrad's wording pants, which is always a good thing.

We are coming right back with Terry Barr.

It is a Barbie on Friday night, folks.

Stay with us.

Half hour to go, and then we are officially at the weekend.

It's Peach Wabba and Nightlight on the Civic Media Radio

Network.

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

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

Pete Schwaba

All right, here we go.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for Bar Band Friday night.

And that means every Friday, just about every Friday, our pal Terry Barr joins us with new music, fun conversation, and it's just an all around swell time, even though I can't, can't read the screen is out again.

Oh, no.

You need the tools.

I cannot see Terry.

The tools.

Pete Schwaba

I don't know what to do.

Terry, can you see me?

I can

hear

Pete Schwaba

you.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, that's all we need, right?

It's radio for God's sakes.

Yeah, okay.

How are you tonight?

I am good, Pete.

How are you and Conrad?

Pete Schwaba

Doing very well.

And I'll speak for Conrad because I know he's doing well because I can see him through the glass.

I wish I could see you, but I'm sure you're doing well.

Are you at home tonight?

Are you at a show?

What's happening?

No, this fine evening, I'm happy to be at home.

And when you and I are done, I think I'm gonna take a peek at that Brewer's game.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Did you hear, you did hear Mike Clemens last night because you texted or you dropped us a stream comment.

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

I love when Mike is on any of our shows, but you guys were really fun.

Pete Schwaba

He's just a great guy.

I love

him.

He is.

Isn't he the best?

He doesn't even cover my team.

The stories behind the scenes are so interesting.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, yeah.

How about that one about Pat Murphy?

I love that

story.

Oh my gosh.

Pete Schwaba

He is so much fun.

All right.

So, Terry,

Kathryn Lake

I have

Pete Schwaba

to ask you, do you have a...

a sack lunch.

Do you remember what you brought to school or what do you bring to work like nowadays?

Because that's our question of the night.

It's National

Love Your Lunch Day.

You will laugh.

When I was a kid, we were not allowed to take a, you know, the sack lunch.

We had to eat hot lunch.

Pete Schwaba

Oh,

that's not too bad though, is it?

But when my grandmother would stay with us, if my parents were away, she would let us take a sack lunch because we thought that was really cool.

So what did we have?

I think it was often my grandmother's peanut butter and jelly, but she was a big baker.

So we'd always have like these really great cookies or bars or something that we could take with us.

And that's when the other kids were jealous of what we were having.

Pete Schwaba

Isn't that great when the other kids are jealous of you?

Of

your sack lunch.

Pete Schwaba

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, honestly, when I was a kid, my best friend in the neighborhood was this Italian kid, big Italian family.

And his mom used to make these, I mean, these meals were incredible.

But that's all she did all day was cook.

And my mom would make, like, tuna noodle casserole.

You know, she had five kids in six years.

She just put anything out there to feed us.

And it was fine.

But I was always a little envious of the other kids.

And if they had their windows open next to you and in the home next to you, I bet you could smell that coming out of the kitchen.

Pete Schwaba

Absolutely.

It smelled

amazing.

Oh, that is so beautiful.

And the worst

Pete Schwaba

thing was, and it was kind of this way at school too, we never got soda.

Like my mom, you know,

my friend,

Pete Schwaba

they would always have like Pepsi bottles on the table and we never got to do.

We never got to have soda.

So.

No, we had to have milk.

Yeah.

But sometimes with the hot lunch, you would drink your milk.

And if you hated what you had for hot lunch, you would put some of it in the milk carton and throw it away.

We had hot lunch.

I didn't want to get caught with that on my plate and get in trouble.

Pete Schwaba

Exactly.

When we when I went to.

When I moved to Wisconsin, I went to Marinette Catholic Central High School.

They had a hot lunch there, and it was in the gym.

And I remember the public school saying, oh, we have a choice.

It's like pasta or a burger or tacos, like all this stuff.

And we had to kind of eat what was served to us.

And they

used

to

Pete Schwaba

serve us like something called hot dish, which I didn't know.

I was like, what?

That's not even a food.

What is it?

Hot dish?

Yeah.

Pete Schwaba

And it's

like casserole.

In a heart, you still can't figure out what it is.

So we would always call them the lunch ladies.

What are the lunch ladies doing right now?

Pete Schwaba

I don't know.

They were awesome.

I did love the

lunch.

It's fun to talk about now.

Pete Schwaba

Totally.

Hey, this is great.

All right.

We are, I feel like I told Conrad, this is my first full week in like three weeks because of circumstances.

So it's great to have you here.

Let's jump into some music.

Who should we talk about first, Harry?

Let's start with Taylor.

Okay.

Only because.

He's one of those musicians where he's been around a really long time, but he's been, again, we've had a couple of these where we've talked about the voice kind of went quiet for a while.

He has some new music out again, and we're going to hear it right here.

Pete Schwaba

All right, let's hear Taylor.

Am I seeing it?

Is it Sherrick?

Yeah, exactly.

He's from the Madison area, and this is his brand new song, and it's called Out to Play.

Pete Schwaba

Love it.

The clouds start to clear and it's all that we can think about The sun's coming out and now the time to play is almost here Isolating feels like fading deep into a hole

I'm feeling energy I haven't felt in ages Because we all were trapped inside of dirty cages Now I'm coming out to play Now I'm coming out to play I wake up one day and open up my eyes I can't believe how to see I crack a smile I wake up one day and see this hate die

If you're so good to be

Energy I haven't felt in ages Cos we all were trapped inside a dirty cave

Pete Schwaba

That was great

Terry and it's like starting over fresh.

Pete Schwaba

I I want to say maybe I've either heard him on Max, Inc radio before or you've talked about him here I know I've heard him before he I'm a huge fan

Yeah, well in his band is his family, which I think is amazing and they don't play out a lot They've been quiet for a little while If you want to hear an entire show though with

Taylor.

They were recently on Maxingradio with us.

Oh, nice.

So you can catch the podcast.

Yeah.

Go to

Pete Schwaba

civicmedia.us Maxingradio and check it out.

Yeah, he's I love him.

And I saw that

in his bio.

Pete Schwaba

He performs with his uncle, his uncle is like the

drummer, bass player or something like that.

Yeah.

That's pretty cool.

Yes.

Yes.

And then his dad will join him on lead guitar very often.

So that little, uh, woo guitar you heard, that's his dad.

Pete Schwaba

That's really cool.

He also has, I saw, I found this, he has a cover band called the Foo Foo Dolls.

Yes, that is right.

Yes, total cover band.

They do a lot of 90s and I'm wondering now that we're talking about him.

I think this project, the Fufu Dalles, even though it's covers, I think that's pulled him away more from the family band.

You know, what do you do you're getting booked as the foo foo dolls you do it, right?

Yeah, and if you're not getting booked as much with your original music Hmm, but I'm so happy that we can share it with you.

Pete Schwaba

It's surprising too because his original music is really good But you're right you get you get paid.

I mean if they're throwing money at you, it's tough not to get especially 90s music right now is so huge It's like with the 70s when we're growing up or the 60s

All right, so your next artist is Adam Gruhl.

Am I saying that right?

You are.

Love this guy.

He's got many different bands, Terry.

He's part of a progressive bluegrass band called Horseshoes and Hangrenades.

Love that.

He also has a band called the Space Burritos and the High Hawks.

Tell us about Adam Gruhl.

This guy is amazing and I interviewed him.

I want to say maybe a year ago and he's from Central Wisconsin.

He is over in the driftless now because he loves to fish

Kathryn Lake

and his

two favorite things are fishing and music.

And when I interviewed him, he said, Terry, I have got it all now.

My life is wonderful.

I do the two things I love the most.

Pete Schwaba

That is really,

I mean you could do a lot worse.

It's our goal, right?

To find that.

Pete Schwaba

Absolutely.

Why don't we play his song now and let it

take

Pete Schwaba

us to the break and then we'll wrap up and say a couple things about us, a couple great things about Adam Grewle.

Does that sound good, Terry?

Sounds great.

One thing, if people have seen Charlie Barron's, Adam opens as a solo artist for Charlie Barron's when Charlie is out doing his comedy.

Pete Schwaba

Oh, that's so cool.

That's so interesting because I don't hear that.

Usually it's the comedian first.

Right.

Right?

I mean, that's kind of an interesting choice.

Where is he based out of, Terry?

He is now in the Driftlist area.

So that's like the Verroqua area.

Yeah, Southwest Wisconsin.

Pete Schwaba

Has he been on Max Inc Radio?

He was on as an interview with me and he played live on both ends of our interview during the pandemic.

And then I did another interview with him about a year ago, but he is so busy with all of these bands, and he travels all over the place.

We have not been able to get him settled down, should I say, on a Saturday night to join us.

Pete Schwaba

What about, does he have a show coming up that we know?

Oh, here's what we'll do.

We're going to do a quick break, because we kind of ran short on time.

And

I

Pete Schwaba

have no screen.

I can't see time.

Conrad's just flashing me fingers, and I can't tell if he's being obscene or actually telling me

what time it is.

Be

Pete Schwaba

careful, Conrad.

We'll do a quick break.

We'll come back and listen to Adam Gruhl and we'll wrap up with our pal Terry Barr on a bar band Friday night as Peach Wabba and Nightlight.

We're coming right

back.

We were talking about the artist.

Adam gruel and anything else you need to tell us before we hear this song.

I love this progressive blue

polka band.

Pete Schwaba

For those prices, you can't afford not to go.

That is outstanding.

All right, here is our second feature of the night here on Bar Band Friday Night, Adam Gruel.

I hope the muscury and the sweet northern lights shine in your bedroom.

And wake you up at night I hope the band's still playing When it's bar time And I hope that you know Not all lyrics need to rhyme I hope there's still dither beers When my nephew's 21 I hope there's still cold water In the cedar run

I hope you don't get so low But you don't give a damn About the boss falling leaves Or the loving holding hands And I wish I could take your pain

Sometimes it's hard to say How I'm gonna make it through the day Wish I could take you

I wish you all my best Keep on wishing on And know that your wishes Never really are all gone Wish I could take

Pete Schwaba

That was Take Your Pain Away by Adam Gruhl.

Compliments of Terry Barr.

Great song.

Isn't that wonderful.

He's got a great voice.

Oh, he's got such a good voice.

And I love the line where he says you can learn that songs don't all have to rhyme.

All right.

Pete Schwaba

That is outstanding, Terry Batten-Athausen.

As always, thank you for bringing us this music every week.

It's just so much fun to talk to you and to hear new tunes.
