[speaker001:] Mark where where do you live
[speaker002:] uh I live in Richardson
[speaker001:] oh do you okay I'm in Plano
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] okay uh what kind of music do you like
[speaker002:] um uh rock and roll
[speaker001:] rock and roll
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] me too that's pretty much
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] what I listen to
[speaker002:] I'm I'm twenty one so I'm in the the new kind of rock and roll stuff
[speaker001:] oh you're twenty one okay I'm twenty three
[speaker002:] yes okay
[speaker001:] so not much difference yeah I was a music minor in college
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] um I I took a uh recording engineering class out in Irving with a guy named Phil York
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so I know how to run a sound room and everything like that
[speaker001:] well that's neat
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] that's neat have you ever recorded anything or
[speaker002:] oh I did a band project for the class itself and then I haven't been able to get anything with it since
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] I have some friends with bands and they don't even bother to ask me
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] that's when you find out who your friends are I guess
[speaker001:] yeah you do oh that would that is neat I like that I've always wanted to be in a band but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] we just moved here in June and I haven't been able to get settled that much yet but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I I I played piano for about sixteen years so
[speaker002:] yeah my I uh I think I took for about four years when I was younger and I don't remember how old I was
[speaker001:] really did you like it
[speaker002:] yeah yeah I had fun with it as as long as it wasn't too dull and boring
[speaker001:] like Mary had a Little Lamb
[speaker002:] yeah the simpler stuff was a little more boring but
[speaker001:] yeah I had I taught for a while and and the kids just they just didn't you know after they got to a certain point they gave up
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] you know and and they tell you if you can't keep it interesting then
[speaker002:] I think that's what I think that's what happened to me
[speaker001:] yeah they're they're you know it's just kind of stuff because after you go to a certain point there's you don't feel like there's much more you can do
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] but
[speaker002:] basically all that's left is to stick the music in front of them and let them play
[speaker001:] right because they'll do the rest on their own
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] because they know the notes now it's just they have to do it themselves but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] my my mom took piano for thirteen years when she was younger yeah she still plays once in a while
[speaker001:] really I bet she's good
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] she does the Mozart Mozart and Chopin and Beethoven stuff she sits down and plays all that the hard stuff that I never got around to
[speaker001:] yeah yeah yeah uh we had to give concerts and all that in college
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] with our majors so well it's it's tough not bad
[speaker002:] yeah now I now I play guitar
[speaker001:] you do um bass guitar or
[speaker002:] yes electric uh rhythm
[speaker001:] electric oh okay yeah I would that's one thing I never learned to play and I wish I would have is guitar
[speaker002:] I I've never had formal lessons I just would sit down and listen to the music and figure it out how to play it
[speaker001:] really that's great
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I wish I had an ear like that because I can sight read
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but I can't ear any I can't hear or I can't you know listen to something and play it
[speaker002:] yeah uh the the only other problem I have with it is that I've never learned how to learn the the notes for guitar
[speaker001:] that's real tough for me uh-huh
[speaker002:] in other words where the fingers would go for the different notes and everything
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and so when if I ever have a conversation with somebody else that plays guitar they start naming off notes and I go whoa you lost me stop
[speaker001:] oh just sing it to me
[speaker002:] I and so I can't read tabulates or anything else like that that go along with it so I just have to listen to the music and
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] you know pick it out
[speaker001:] well that that's good though because then you can hear something and play it instead of waiting for the music and
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] yeah that would be good and that's even better for bands even I think
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] to be able to do that yeah that's neat
[speaker002:] makes makes it easier whenever somebody is trying to teach you a song you just go show me where it goes and I'll do it
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] rather than them going play an A play an E play a B
[speaker001:] yeah that that is good I like that so like um what bands do you listen to
[speaker002:] oh I I listen to the the more heavier rock uh Kiss White Snake Scorpions stuff like that
[speaker001:] yeah  yeah um I like Kiss but they haven't been out too long I mean they haven't done anything recently
[speaker002:] well they so the rest of them came out let's see
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] about two years ago
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] they
[speaker001:] and that was the one they came out without the makeup and they haven't been with makeup for quite a while have they
[speaker002:] right uh they took off their makeup back their it's my favorite group that's why I know a lot about them um they took off their makeup in eighty I believe it was
[speaker001:] uh-huh in eighty
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] yeah that was something you know
[speaker002:] they had they had five or six albums since they took off their makeup but
[speaker001:] yeah I I have the one and I can't remember what the name is now but they put all the um it was one of their um best hits
[speaker002:] uh Smashes and Thrashes and Hits yeah
[speaker001:] yes that's it and I just love that tape that is great
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but now they're trying to convert me because I just moved here from South Dakota and uh they're trying to convert me to Country and I am just not I Country person
[speaker002:] fight them fight them all the way
[speaker001:] yeah I'm just not a Country Western person
[speaker002:] yeah I'm I'm not either uh my my dad listens to it and it just it drives me up a wall
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah I'm that's one thing I'd you would think in a in a Midwest that you would but I I never grew up that way so
[speaker002:] yeah
