WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.839
A week ago and we want to nine and we
2
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:05.960
can build.
3
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:12.560
Men without Hats. Will appear at Iroquois Amphitheater is part
4
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:16.079
of the Tubular Festival on August fourteenth, so we're sneaking
5
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.559
up on it already. And Ivan, the singer of course,
6
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.800
is with us here. Ivan Dorish, Hey, it's good to
7
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:21.600
talk to you. Ivan.
8
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:22.679
Yeah, good to talk to you too.
9
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.839
Dude. It's been almost fifty years of this and you
10
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.879
are your people still sing the hook lines of your
11
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.560
hit songs. I mean, does that ever snap your head
12
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.560
back when you think I created a hook line that
13
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:36.880
people never forget.
14
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.799
Yeah, I know. It's great. We're We're blessed. It's it's
15
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:44.039
definitely great to have people still still relating to our music.
16
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.679
But I guess people after all these years still need
17
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:48.280
to be told that they can dance if they want to.
18
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.679
So there you go, And you're still putting out new
19
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:56.679
music too. Where are you today musically as compared to
20
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.280
what we knew from the nineteen eighties.
21
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.799
It's, you know, the same thing. We're not trying to
22
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:02.960
reinvent the wheel or anything. We're just doing what we're
23
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.200
good at and giving people a good another new taste
24
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.359
of eighties music. We have a new record out called
25
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.040
on the Moon, a couple of singles off that went
26
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.640
number one on the Heritage Chart over in the UK,
27
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.519
which is a chart dedicated to vintage bands making new music.
28
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:20.920
So we have a new single called I Love the Eighties,
29
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:25.400
another one called Inglorious Days. But people are loving it.
30
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.599
It's doing great, got a couple of videos out. It
31
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.359
was fun making making new videos after forty fifty years too.
32
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.280
That was a fresh experience for us. And yeah, I
33
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.359
know people are people are still loving eighties music. The trend.
34
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.959
It's trending upwards. Actually, I'm doing a lot more shows
35
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.680
and meeting a lot more people than I did actually
36
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.560
back in the eighties. So it's great. We're having a
37
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:46.040
great time.
38
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.200
That's phenomenal. I love hearing that. First off, kids are
39
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.840
rediscovering our music and enjoying that, and that's part of
40
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.480
this whole pump. But just going out and making videos
41
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.400
again has to be fun for you too again because
42
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.760
you know, oh yeah, the video era, you stepped right
43
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.519
into that. I mean the safety Dance video was hilarious
44
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.400
and that's kind of a protest song, right, Tell me
45
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:09.840
about that, Yeah.
46
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.039
Well it was a protest against being kicked out of
47
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.080
a discothext back in back in the eighties. It was,
48
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.599
you know, the late seventies, early eighties, and it was
49
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:22.120
the dying days of disco. And occasionally the DJ would
50
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.319
slip in a new wave songs, you know B fifty
51
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.560
two's rock Lobster or Blondie's Heart of Glass. We'd get
52
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.520
up and start pogo dancing, which basically was the just
53
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.919
jumping up and bouncing off each other's chest was the
54
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.960
precursor of the slam dance and the mosh pit. And
55
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.120
but the bouncer has never seen anything like it back then,
56
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.319
and they thought we were fighting or try to cause trouble,
57
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.319
so we'd get kicked out. So after getting kicked out
58
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.439
a few times, I just went home and did something
59
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.120
about it. I wrote a song that told people they
60
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.560
could dance if they want to, and it's been safe
61
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.919
to dance ever since. I'm happy to say.
62
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:54.000
That's so funny.
63
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.039
As far as the yeah, as far as the video
64
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.560
is concerned, you know, that video is kind of timeless.
65
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.800
It's like, you know, I think people were expecting a
66
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.400
new wave John Travolta to come and teach them how
67
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.000
to safety Dance and they get this this medieval Peter
68
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.520
Pan character dancing around with a with a dwarf and
69
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.199
a blonde, crazy blonde chick and a bunch of Morris dancers,
70
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.479
And so I think that made it timeless too, Like
71
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.719
you can't really you can't really tell when that video
72
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.639
was shot, you know, I know you look at some
73
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.919
Madies videos now you can kind of chuckle about the
74
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.680
hairdoo and the pointy shoes and zipper clothes, but the
75
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:29.879
safety Dance video kind of stands out because it's like
76
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:31.800
watching a western. You don't know when it was shot.
77
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.639
It could be could have been shot yesterday. So that's great.
78
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:35.479
It served us well.
79
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.759
It's funny too because when you see it makes you happy.
80
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.639
You stop in your tracks when it pops up on
81
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.159
one of those channels and you go, I got to
82
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:42.919
watch this again.
83
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.919
Oh that's good. That's I'm glad because that's that was
84
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:47.560
the point of it. We had a great time, great
85
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.120
fun time making it, and like I say, we're blessed,
86
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.240
and it's it's still being watched and still being listened to.
87
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:55.479
It's it's it's great.
88
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.879
Tell me about the show you're putting on at the
89
00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.639
Louisville Iroquois Amphitheater.
90
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.719
Well, that's a great show, you know. It's the Tubular
91
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.560
totally tubular festival. A bunch of eighties bands, you know,
92
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.280
going around the country and for the fans, it's great.
93
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.840
It's it's all killer, no filler, you know. It's it's
94
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.039
the bands get up there and just play the songs
95
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.199
that they play, their hits. They play the songs that
96
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.319
people came to hear. You don't have to wait till
97
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:18.759
the end of the show to hear the song you
98
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.160
came to hear. It's all there, right in your face,
99
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.920
right from the start, and we're having a great time.
100
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.759
We've with These are bands that we've been touring with
101
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.920
for for for quite a while now. It's you know,
102
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:30.240
back in the days, there used to be a lot
103
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.519
of competition amongst bands. You know, a young band is
104
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.800
kind of like a professional sports team. You tour the country.
105
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.199
You you're competing against other bands for press, for for
106
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.079
you know, chart positions, for venues and fans. But now
107
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.399
you know, the work's been done, we're not competing at all.
108
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.360
It's like one big, happy eighties family traveling around just
109
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.480
making making our fans happy, and it's great because we
110
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.519
get to see our original fans and and they're you know,
111
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.959
more often than not, they're bringing their kids and sometimes
112
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.399
even the grandkids. So it's a family affair now and
113
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:03.839
it's great. We're having fun.
114
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.879
And the song, like I Love the Eighties, the newer
115
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.240
stuff that you have, you are going to feature those two,
116
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:09.680
aren't you?
117
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.600
Absolutely? Absolutely, the crowd loves it. It's already I Love
118
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.079
the Eighties is already a crowd favorite. People are singing
119
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.279
along with it. And hardest part about that song was
120
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.279
bringing it cutting it down to three minutes and thirty
121
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.879
seconds for radio, because if we would have put all
122
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.920
the eighties references that we had written down before we
123
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.120
recorded it, that song could have been about an hour long.
124
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.279
But I guess we'll have to wait for this. We'll
125
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.839
have to wait for the twelve inch Dance makes I
126
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.240
remember those more in there. Yeah, yeah, I.
127
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.040
Was in one of those clubs one night, doing the
128
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.720
pogo as well and just thinking and people look at
129
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.000
us like we were crazy. So maybe I didn't realize
130
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.480
you were writing the soundtrack to My Young Life.
131
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:53.160
Well there you go, there you go.
132
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.480
I Love the Eighties song already has more than five
133
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.360
million views online. So that's a hit, my brother, you're doing.
134
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.800
Well great, thank you. It's because of all the fans
135
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.839
out there still listening to us, and we just we
136
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.439
appreciate it. We we love doing what we're doing, and
137
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.600
we're gonna be doing as long as we can. So
138
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.240
you know, just sit back and enjoy, all right, get
139
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:13.160
up and dance and enjoy.
140
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.360
Yeah, thanks, right, dance if you want to. I really
141
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.600
appreciate the time. I evan have a great time here
142
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.800
in Louisville. And it's a little different than Vancouver, isn't
143
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:21.560
that where you live.
144
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.480
Out of Vancouver Island? Yeah, yeah, West coast, but we
145
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.120
grew up in Montreal. We we moved out west about
146
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.920
twenty five years ago, but we're familiar with the surroundings here.
147
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.639
We we love the States excellent. I was born in
148
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:36.759
Chicago myself, so it's.
149
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.879
Great, excellent. We'll enjoy your stay and I know it's
150
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:40.680
going to be an outstanding show. Thanks so much.
151
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.759
Yeah, thank you, nice talking to you. Sure ain't no

12
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.560
back when you think I created a hook line that
13
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:36.880
people never forget.
14
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.799
Yeah, I know. It's great. We're We're blessed. It's it's
15
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:44.039
definitely great to have people still still relating to our music.
16
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.679
But I guess people after all these years still need
17
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:48.280
to be told that they can dance if they want to.
18
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.679
So there you go, And you're still putting out new
19
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:56.679
music too. Where are you today musically as compared to
20
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.280
what we knew from the nineteen eighties.
21
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.799
It's, you know, the same thing. We're not trying to
22
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:02.960
reinvent the wheel or anything. We're just doing what we're
23
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.200
good at and giving people a good another new taste
24
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.359
of eighties music. We have a new record out called
25
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.040
on the Moon, a couple of singles off that went
26
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.640
number one on the Heritage Chart over in the UK,
27
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.519
which is a chart dedicated to vintage bands making new music.
28
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:20.920
So we have a new single called I Love the Eighties,
29
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:25.400
another one called Inglorious Days. But people are loving it.
30
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.599
It's doing great, got a couple of videos out. It
31
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.359
was fun making making new videos after forty fifty years too.
32
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.280
That was a fresh experience for us. And yeah, I
33
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.359
know people are people are still loving eighties music. The trend.
34
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.959
It's trending upwards. Actually, I'm doing a lot more shows
35
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.680
and meeting a lot more people than I did actually
36
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.560
back in the eighties. So it's great. We're having a
37
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:46.040
great time.
38
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.200
That's phenomenal. I love hearing that. First off, kids are
39
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.840
rediscovering our music and enjoying that, and that's part of
40
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.480
this whole pump. But just going out and making videos
41
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.400
again has to be fun for you too again because
42
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.760
you know, oh yeah, the video era, you stepped right
43
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.519
into that. I mean the safety Dance video was hilarious
44
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.400
and that's kind of a protest song, right, Tell me
45
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:09.840
about that, Yeah.
46
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.039
Well it was a protest against being kicked out of
47
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.080
a discothext back in back in the eighties. It was,
48
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.599
you know, the late seventies, early eighties, and it was
49
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:22.120
the dying days of disco. And occasionally the DJ would
50
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.319
slip in a new wave songs, you know B fifty
51
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.560
two's rock Lobster or Blondie's Heart of Glass. We'd get
52
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.520
up and start pogo dancing, which basically was the just
53
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.919
jumping up and bouncing off each other's chest was the
54
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.960
precursor of the slam dance and the mosh pit. And
55
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.120
but the bouncer has never seen anything like it back then,
56
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.319
and they thought we were fighting or try to cause trouble,
57
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.319
so we'd get kicked out. So after getting kicked out
58
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.439
a few times, I just went home and did something
59
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.120
about it. I wrote a song that told people they
60
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.560
could dance if they want to, and it's been safe
61
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.919
to dance ever since. I'm happy to say.
62
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:54.000
That's so funny.
63
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.039
As far as the yeah, as far as the video
64
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.560
is concerned, you know, that video is kind of timeless.
65
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.800
It's like, you know, I think people were expecting a
66
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.400
new wave John Travolta to come and teach them how
67
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.000
to safety Dance and they get this this medieval Peter
68
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.520
Pan character dancing around with a with a dwarf and
69
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.199
a blonde, crazy blonde chick and a bunch of Morris dancers,
70
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.479
And so I think that made it timeless too, Like
71
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.719
you can't really you can't really tell when that video
72
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.639
was shot, you know, I know you look at some
73
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.919
Madies videos now you can kind of chuckle about the
74
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.680
hairdoo and the pointy shoes and zipper clothes, but the
75
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:29.879
safety Dance video kind of stands out because it's like
76
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:31.800
watching a western. You don't know when it was shot.
77
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.639
It could be could have been shot yesterday. So that's great.
78
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:35.479
It served us well.
79
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.759
It's funny too because when you see it makes you happy.
80
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.639
You stop in your tracks when it pops up on
81
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.159
one of those channels and you go, I got to
82
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:42.919
watch this again.
83
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.919
Oh that's good. That's I'm glad because that's that was
84
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:47.560
the point of it. We had a great time, great
85
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.120
fun time making it, and like I say, we're blessed,
86
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.240
and it's it's still being watched and still being listened to.
87
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:55.479
It's it's it's great.
88
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.879
Tell me about the show you're putting on at the
89
00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:59.639
Louisville Iroquois Amphitheater.
90
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.719
Well, that's a great show, you know. It's the Tubular
91
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.560
totally tubular festival. A bunch of eighties bands, you know,
92
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.280
going around the country and for the fans, it's great.
93
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.840
It's it's all killer, no filler, you know. It's it's
94
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.039
the bands get up there and just play the songs
95
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.199
that they play, their hits. They play the songs that
96
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.319
people came to hear. You don't have to wait till
97
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:18.759
the end of the show to hear the song you
98
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.160
came to hear. It's all there, right in your face,
99
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.920
right from the start, and we're having a great time.
100
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.759
We've with These are bands that we've been touring with
101
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.920
for for for quite a while now. It's you know,
102
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:30.240
back in the days, there used to be a lot
103
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.519
of competition amongst bands. You know, a young band is
104
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.800
kind of like a professional sports team. You tour the country.
105
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.199
You you're competing against other bands for press, for for
106
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.079
you know, chart positions, for venues and fans. But now
107
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.399
you know, the work's been done, we're not competing at all.
108
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.360
It's like one big, happy eighties family traveling around just
109
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.480
making making our fans happy, and it's great because we
110
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.519
get to see our original fans and and they're you know,
111
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.959
more often than not, they're bringing their kids and sometimes
112
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.399
even the grandkids. So it's a family affair now and
113
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:03.839
it's great. We're having fun.
114
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.879
And the song, like I Love the Eighties, the newer
115
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.240
stuff that you have, you are going to feature those two,
116
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:09.680
aren't you?
117
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.600
Absolutely? Absolutely, the crowd loves it. It's already I Love
118
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.079
the Eighties is already a crowd favorite. People are singing
119
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.279
along with it. And hardest part about that song was
120
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.279
bringing it cutting it down to three minutes and thirty
121
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.879
seconds for radio, because if we would have put all
122
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.920
the eighties references that we had written down before we
123
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.120
recorded it, that song could have been about an hour long.
124
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.279
But I guess we'll have to wait for this. We'll
125
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.839
have to wait for the twelve inch Dance makes I
126
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.240
remember those more in there. Yeah, yeah, I.
127
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.040
Was in one of those clubs one night, doing the
128
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.720
pogo as well and just thinking and people look at
129
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.000
us like we were crazy. So maybe I didn't realize
130
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.480
you were writing the soundtrack to My Young Life.
131
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:53.160
Well there you go, there you go.
132
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.480
I Love the Eighties song already has more than five
133
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.360
million views online. So that's a hit, my brother, you're doing.
134
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.800
Well great, thank you. It's because of all the fans
135
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.839
out there still listening to us, and we just we
136
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.439
appreciate it. We we love doing what we're doing, and
137
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.600
we're gonna be doing as long as we can. So
138
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.240
you know, just sit back and enjoy, all right, get
139
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:13.160
up and dance and enjoy.
140
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.360
Yeah, thanks, right, dance if you want to. I really
141
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.600
appreciate the time. I evan have a great time here
142
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.800
in Louisville. And it's a little different than Vancouver, isn't
143
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:21.560
that where you live.
144
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.480
Out of Vancouver Island? Yeah, yeah, West coast, but we
145
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.120
grew up in Montreal. We we moved out west about
146
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.920
twenty five years ago, but we're familiar with the surroundings here.
147
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.639
We we love the States excellent. I was born in
148
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:36.759
Chicago myself, so it's.
149
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.879
Great, excellent. We'll enjoy your stay and I know it's
150
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:40.680
going to be an outstanding show. Thanks so much.
151
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.759
Yeah, thank you, nice talking to you. Sure ain't no
152

playing sign rather be four nineteen eighty three.
153
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.120
That's part of that. I love the eighties song and
