[speaker001:] I'm not really sure I think it's it's a fifties sixties and seventies station that I listen to
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh they have the same kind of station down here and when I listen to music most of the time that's what I listen to uh-huh
[speaker001:] oh really I don't know a lot of the um uh musicians' names or the singers' names but I know a lot of the old songs
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh we just got a disk the other day that was a um disk of Nat Nat King Cole's greatest hits and it is excellent it it's about twenty of his greatest hits on it it's really an excellent
[speaker001:] oh yeah

[speaker002:] have you um do you listen have you heard of Nat heard of Nat King Cole
[speaker001:] yes I have
[speaker002:] okay well um um do you play any musical instruments or anything
[speaker001:] um I played the accordion for seven years and I played the clarinet for seven years also
[speaker002:] really at at the same time or
[speaker001:] no I played the accordion until I got into about sixth or seventh grade and then in fourth grade I started the clarinet and I played that all through high school
[speaker002:] uh-huh Like so you're in the marching band and stuff in high school yeah I I played the baritone horn in high school band and in college so and my wife played flute in high school
[speaker001:] I was yes oh okay
[speaker002:] so
[speaker001:] uh-huh and then in concert band I played the bass clarinet
[speaker002:] really really actually that's exactly the same thing my ex-wife did she played the clarinet and then she played bass clarinet during concert band
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh oh really
[speaker002:] yes yeah so
[speaker001:] I like the low notes better than the high notes so we didn't have any bass clarinet players so I asked him if I could play it because I was first clarinet and they end up playing a lot of the high notes and I don't I don't care for the sound of the high notes so I asked him if I could play the bass clarinet and he said sure you know he didn't have anyone to play it so I played it and I really enjoyed it
[speaker002:] um well I like it I I like the low instruments better too
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] um do you go to do you go to listen to much live music
[speaker001:] pardon me
[speaker002:] do you listen to much live music like concerts or things there
[speaker001:] no I really don't go to very many concerts
[speaker002:] uh-huh we're we're going to one here in a couple of weeks the um um I don't know if you follow Broadway much but uh Michael Crawford was in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway you know you know whom I'm talking about
[speaker001:] uh-huh yes
[speaker002:] and he's coming to Dallas on the twenty ninth and we got a big group going down to hear him sing a bunch of uh Andrew Lloyd Webber's music so that'll be good
[speaker001:] oh wow
[speaker002:] my sons are kind of into Broadway they they my my older son is at Columbia in New York City and he's been to see Phantom and Les Miserables and bunch of other things up there so
[speaker001:] I would love to be able to go see Les Miserables
[speaker002:] and he does it he can go if they get sixteen dollar tickets to that thing yeah yeah and one of the uh the last time they went up a friend of his wanted to go and Chris didn't want to go so the friend David went and
[speaker001:] oh my gosh
[speaker002:] he went and bought one of the low priced student tickets and they they gave him the seat that normally belongs to John Bell John it's his house seat that's under his control and he said it was a great seat
[speaker001:] holy smoke
[speaker002:] so he he's been to they've been to see it several times
[speaker001:] oh I would love to go see that and Cats
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] Chorus Line
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I would love to be able to go see those
[speaker002:] would they do don't any of those ever come to Pittsburgh
[speaker001:] they do but I work and I went to I go to college I had just gotten I just graduated from college in May and so I really didn't have the chance or the money to go see them
[speaker002:] sure well we're kind of you know they well I saw two two road shows of Les Miserables and they were both excellent
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so if it comes to Pittsburgh in the road shows and I think they have three different companies that tour the US um you should go see it because it's really it's really outstanding
[speaker001:] yeah my brother doesn't even like that kind of stuff and he went to New York a bunch of there was like twenty students from high school that went and he went to New York with them and he saw it and he said it was the best thing he'd ever seen
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and he doesn't even like that type of stuff
[speaker002:] well I think it's just incredible I and then you know those um two guys who wrote Les Miserables wrote a new show call Miss Saigon
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] yeah it just opened in New York this spring and my son and his friend were in a lottery to get tickets to it and they got tickets for the opening night
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] and they went to it and they said it was it was great it was great
[speaker001:] oh see now I like that type of stuff but my fiancee doesn't really like it he's more into the New Wave music
[speaker002:] yeah like depressed mode and
[speaker001:] yeah I guess I don't know either you know
[speaker002:] yeah I don't too much but my younger son listens to some of that kind of stuff
[speaker001:] oh I don't know uh really weird names like The Dead Milkman or sure I don't know oh it's you know really weird stuff he likes and I thought oh my gosh
[speaker002:] so he listens to New Wave and you listen to the oldies that's kind
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] that's kind of different well that's good though you know it's good to cover all the bases there
[speaker001:] well I pretty I'll listen to anything basically except I don't like the real hard metal rock
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] I just refuse to listen to that at all I'll even listen to country I don't I like some country
[speaker002:] well we don't now we don't listen to much country but we just at the same night we bought that Nat King Cole album we bought Garth Brooks' album No Fences
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] that is excellent
[speaker001:] do you like Randy Travis
[speaker002:] we well we I've never never listened I mean I've I've probably heard him but I've never bought any of his music
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] Garth Brooks is probably the only country album we have or no wait my wife bought an album of Hank Williams' greatest hits
[speaker001:] oh Hank Williams Junior
[speaker002:] nope this is Hank Williams senior so these are a bunch of old recordings
[speaker001:] oh uh-huh
[speaker002:] she bought that the same night we bought the Nat King Cole and the Garth Brooks
[speaker001:] oh yeah well those should be good albums
[speaker002:] it is pretty good she likes it it's a little it's a little too country for me it's a
[speaker001:] if you have the chance
[speaker002:] little too uh honky-tonk or something
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker002:] I like I like the Garth Brooks album a lot
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] it's pretty good it's pretty good
[speaker001:] um I don't know maybe you wouldn't like Randy Travis he's really country himself but uh
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] I you know I I really enjoy listening to his music
[speaker002:] which album which of his albums do you think is the best
[speaker001:] oh I don't know If I were you I would get the Greatest Hits album
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] if he had one because you know that would have a mixture of all his you know top songs on it but um we have I think four records of his I can't you know name the names of them off hand but we have I think all his records so far and all my brothers and sisters listen to them even the ones that like the heavy metal
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] they really enjoy listening to him so
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] you know maybe if you did like Hank Williams and Garth you know maybe you would enjoy Travis uh Randy Travis
[speaker002:] well I I think we'll probably get one one of his albums because we do kind of like it but you know it's kind of different
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah
[speaker002:] so so it's good
[speaker001:] um do you know any oh I was going to say do you know any other country singers that you would you know I mean the women do you like the Judds
