I'm a painter. I like making music. I don't want a boss. I try to love everyone. I live within my means.
Speaker 1
I adore animals. I own two of them. I work at a local mall store. I like renovating and working on my house, which is unfinished. I like to reward myself with BBQ.
Speaker 2
I like animals. I consider myself a loving person. I am a painter. I am my own boss. I make music on the side. I rarely do BBQ. I try to be frugal in my life.

Speaker 1
I finished up a major renovation on my house yesterday, and I decided to hold a get together with others to eat BBQ. You should come over, there will be plenty to eat. I was thinking of hosting the BBQ next weekend, sometime in the afternoon.
Speaker 2
Oh my. That does sound delicious! Who is grilling?! Like I said earlier, I am not the best at BBQ. LOL
Speaker 1
I'm grilling of course! What's your favorite BBQ food? I'll make sure to make plenty of it!
Speaker 2
I like pulled pork and coleslaw! My uncle used to make the BEST coleslaw. What's your fav?!
Speaker 1
Anything and everything, my friend. Pulled pork it is, and I'll do my best with the coleslaw, but do me a favor and don't compare it to your uncle's (unless mine is somehow better, then you can compare away. lol). All that's left is to figure out some entertainment. Would you be willing to perform some of the music you've made? 
Speaker 2
Haha. No worries! I will not compare! I would love to perform a few songs. Is it okay if I invite a few friends to play with me?
Speaker 1
That would be more than okay! What instruments are we talking?
Speaker 2
Guitar, drums, banjo, and a little bit of harmonica!
Speaker 1
What a great ensemble! What genre of music do you play?
Speaker 2
A wide variety. What type would you like us to play?!
Speaker 1
Does anyone double as a singer? I love me some rock n roll and soul music.
Speaker 2
I can reach out to my cousin! She does great with vocals and has practiced with my friends and I before.

I just got a big pork shoulder to barbecue! You're going to love it!
Speaker 2
Oh that sounds so good! I haven't had barbecued pork for ages, I'm so bad at grilling!
Speaker 1
Well, it's something that can be learned just like I am trying to learn painting. You mentioned that you are a painter. Can I come for some lessons sometime?
Speaker 2
Of course you can! I'd love to teach you painting. What kind of things would you like to paint?
Speaker 1
I love to paint humans and animals. Most especially black people. They look so good in paintings.
Speaker 2
Oh yes so beautiful! I don't often paint people but I paint animals all the time. Remind me, what animals do you own nowadays?
Speaker 1
I have two dogs. They are both of the German shepherd breed.
Speaker 2
That's amazing, I'd love to have dogs but I just don't have the time to look after them. I'm too busy with my painting and music!
Speaker 1
I totally understand you. Looking after animals can be very stressful. What type of music do you mostly make with your band?
Speaker 2
We play a wide range of genres but lately we've been focusing on rock. You should come and see us sometime, you're into rock music aren't you?
Speaker 1
Yeah. I am totally in love with Freddie Macquarie. He's my favorite rockstar
Speaker 2
I agree he's amazing! We've done a few covers of his songs, it works surprisingly well on banjo and harmonica!

My band has played a few Freddie Macquarie songs. My band features banjo and harmonica.
Speaker 1
The barbecue went really well! It was great to have you there!
Speaker 2
It was really fun!  I am glad my band played as well.  We will have to learn some more songs for next time.  
Speaker 1
You guys were so awesome! I hope you all can come another time. How about we make some tentative plans for next month?
Speaker 2
That sounds like a plan.  What songs would you like us to try to learn?  Any artist or band you want to hear?
Speaker 1
I do like Doobie Brothers. I know, I know old but you can't deny they have some great songs.
Speaker 2
"listen to Music" is one of my favorites!  I will definitely put them on the list when I talk to the band.  We like to keep things open and play as much variety as possible.
Speaker 1
I'm sure whatever you guys play will be enjoyable. I'm looking forward to visiting with you next week when you come over for the painting lesson.
Speaker 2
We can decide on the date and time during the lesson.  I think we will work on adding people to those landscapes we started last time.  Maybe even some animals to really round out the picture.  Anything you want to add?
Speaker 1
An indication of the weather in the painting would be nice. Maybe some storm clouds or something like that.
Speaker 2
That is a great idea.  One of the keys to painting is knowing when you have enough though.  Whether it is animals or people or clouds!  We just don't want things to look cluttered.
Speaker 1
True. I will just go with the flow. My dogs can't wait for you to come toss the ball for them. I think they are as excited to see you as I am!
Speaker 2
I really enjoy seeing them as well.  I think seeing them and playing with them keeps me from needing a dog of my own!

The band I am in play a variety of songs and genres. I am going to a painting lesson next week. I enjoy seeing dogs, I wish I owned one as a pet.
Speaker 1
I just heard the most catchiest song on the radio in my car, and I think you should give it a listen. I think it would be an excellent source of inspiration for your band, it is very unique and sounds like it is really up your band's alley.
Speaker 2
Cool!  Did you catch the title or name of the artist?
Speaker 1
No I didn't! I am so aggravated at myself! I wonder if I can find out what songs were played by the date and time?
Speaker 2
Maybe if you call the station!  I'd tell you to hum it to me but...hahaha
Speaker 1
Haha I don't want to make your ears fall off! My poor dogs must think I'm one of them. They howl when I sing.
Speaker 2
Oh, maybe they're just singing along!  So was it in the rock or soul genre that you like?
Speaker 1
It was a bit on the rock side with a hint of soul. I think that is what made it so good. It was really unique.
Speaker 2
Did you catch any of the lyrics?  Sometimes you can do a Google search for lyrics.  I've had to do that for songs I've heard on the Muzak at the grocery store before...
Speaker 1
I didn't catch the lyrics but the tune is still going round in my head. Is there an app for recognizing tunes?
Speaker 2
I don't know of one but there may be one!  Sometimes I get a song stuck in my head and it can drive me crazy...
Speaker 1
I know right! Maybe I'll hear it again soon. Working in the mall I usually hear a lot of variety of songs.
Speaker 2
Do they still have music stores in malls anymore with everything digital now?
