[speaker001:] uh-huh well here's
[speaker002:] what do you listen to
[speaker001:] well you know I uh I don't listen as much as I used to because uh

[speaker002:] do you really wow
[speaker001:] so I don't get as much radio time and uh we have a small son and it seems like everytime I put on something I want to listen to he starts wanting one of his tapes
[speaker002:] um-hum  um-hum  uh
[speaker001:] you know and uh you know I don't want to discourage him from listening to what he wants to listen to so I put it on and I figure I can listen in a couple years
[speaker002:] um-hum  uh-huh
[speaker001:] uh but I like I like listening to jazz although I'm kind of ignorant about it and uh I like listening to classical although I'm kind of ignorant about it
[speaker002:] um-hum  yeah so  um-hum
[speaker001:] and I sort been listening to sort of like sort of an old foggy station here that uh has a lot of rock from the uh
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] you know sixties and seventies
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and uh I I'm sort embarrassed to say I've been listening to that uh but I'm very you know I you know I've gotten it's I I it's funny how you get older and you don't know what's going on in popular music at all like who are some of the heavy metal
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] people you like to listen to
[speaker002:] um let's see I don't know I listen to I I don't listen to that as much as I used to I uh but I used to like Megadeth a lot and Slayer

[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] they started up in the seventies
[speaker001:] yeah I mean these guys it's so it's funny how pop stars get old
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] uh but still manage to sort of sing about the same things
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] um so do you play at all yourself
[speaker002:] uh actually actually I play uh I play the flute I I was in uh band all through high school and I still pick it up uh I don't play with any organized group now but uh I play still play every now and then

[speaker002:] um my favorite ones to play are uh stuff like Mozart I love Mozart and uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] um just general classical stuff Bach and Brahms
[speaker001:] uh-huh how long have you been out of high school
[speaker002:] I've been out of high school for two years now
[speaker001:] uh-huh um yeah I used I used to play uh in the percussion section in the high school band and uh
[speaker002:] oh really
[speaker001:] yeah I enjoyed that but it's not something that you can do so easily by yourself you know sit around with a snare drum and you get kind of bored um
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and I played piano in the jazz ensemble
[speaker002:] oh that's neat
[speaker001:] and that I still keep up with a little bit but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know I'm still I'm doing what kind of sounds similar to what you'r e doing I I have pieces I could play in high school and I still play them
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] and I I I really like to move on to something else but uh I haven't been putting the time into it so sort of marking time at the same place
[speaker002:] yeah  oh  um-hum
[speaker001:] uh now when I was in high school though we we knew about one funk band that we were excited about that's probably
[speaker002:] who was that
