[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker002:] All right, well d-, d-, do you play any musical instruments or,
[speaker001:] No, I don't play any. I used to.
[speaker002:] Oh well,
[speaker001:] I think everybody took piano lessons so,
[speaker002:] Everybody, sure. I, I started when I was in, uh, third grade,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] and I've, I still play the piano as of today.
[speaker001:] Do you?
[speaker002:] Yes, I do.
[speaker001:] I started, I think I was in the fifth grade and I played it for maybe three months [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] But, then, again, I was also in, uh, the marching band. I played the drums, I played the clarinet, I played the trumpet.
[speaker001:] Wow [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh, you know, whatever and so I,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I still sing, and I sing in the choir today so,
[speaker001:] All right [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I en-, I enjoy the music, it gives me an out.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] It always sounds like, for my playing the piano when I was depressed and didn't have anything else to do and there was no one to play with I could always go play with the piano, you know.
[speaker001:] True [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] So, how long did you play?
[speaker001:] Only for about three months.
[speaker002:] Three months.
[speaker001:] Yeah, me and my brother both took the classes and we got pretty bored quick [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I was going to say, y-, y-, you got as far as the, uh, chop sticks, huh.
[speaker001:] Um, well, I could play, uh, the wood chuck song.
[speaker002:] Oh, the wood chuck song [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] And I still can to this date.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] And your mother's saying, and although, the money that we spent for those piano lessons
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah.
[speaker002:] this is all we got was the wood chuck song [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yep, they went out and bought us a piano and for three months [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Oh, bless your heart.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Did you ever, did you ever just bang on it or do anything with it at all.
[speaker001:] Oh, yeah, any time I got bored [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Oh, okay, but I mean, can you play anything on it, other than wood chuck song?
[speaker001:] No.
[speaker002:] No.
[speaker001:] And Jaws, but I think everybody can.
[speaker002:] Okay.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I c-, I, I can still read music if I'm lucky because I, if I work real hard I can still barely read the music, but, see, I played the piano
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] from the third grade all the way through high school, so
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] I played chic-, uh, concertos and other stuff but,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I got to the point where I wasn't really reading music, I was memorizing music, so because of that, I can't read music as well as I used to, but
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] anyway, but I enjoy it, though. I find it to be a good out and I still enjoy the marching band and I still enjoy, uh, singing in the choir so,
[speaker001:] Do you sing at choir at your church?
[speaker002:] Yes, I do.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Yes, I do. That's, in fact, that's about the only musical thing that I still do
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] is sing in the choir.
[speaker001:] I tried out for choir when I was, think, in the seventh grade and they wouldn't let me in.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] So,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] I never tried again.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Well,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I sing in the choir, I do know if they want me to or not, but at least I do sing in it [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] That's pretty good.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Well,
[speaker001:] I never really learned the music or anything. I never learned, I got right to where I was figuring out where all the keys were on the piano and that's about when I quit.
[speaker002:] I was at, I actually went to the University of Texas at one time thinking that I would, c-, be a musician. I wanted to be a high school band director.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] But after one semester of that, I said n-, no,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] no, this isn't for me. enjoy it, but not for profession, no.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] And besides that I kind of learned I wasn't really that good [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I gave up.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Course, my mom thought I was, but, uh, you know,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Of course, parents always do.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah, so,
[speaker001:] They're nice that way.
[speaker002:] Yes.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Well, what else can we d-, uh, talk about, uh,
[speaker001:] Uh, well, I don't, d-, so you listen to kind of church music, gospel?
[speaker002:] No, no, I, I listen to K V I L.
[speaker001:] Oh, yeah?
[speaker002:] Yeah.

[speaker002:] So I listen to the radio, I like the pop music.
[speaker001:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker002:] I like people like Neil Diamond and [LAUGHTER] all, all the folks that you're not supposed to like, but that's who I go for [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Oh, yeah, the jeezer music as I call it.
[speaker002:] Oh, the jeezer music.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Oh, okay, well,
[speaker001:] My boss listens to that. We listen to ninety-seven point nine and that's his station, so I call it the jeezer music.
[speaker002:] Okay, now what d-, kind of music do you listen to?
[speaker001:] Well, I listen to like ninety-seven point one, you know, more,
[speaker002:] What d-, what is that?

[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Hard rock?
[speaker001:] Well, not hard [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Not hard rock.

[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Okay, I know, I know what the eagle is.
[speaker001:] It's not too hard, it's,
[speaker002:] That's not too hard.
