Speaker 1
At work while bartending I met a group of musicians that are shopping around to get their songs produced and I immediately thought of you.  I have their number if you are interested!
Speaker 2
What type of music do they do? I'm always looking for fresh new people
Speaker 1
They described themselves as sort of rock-reggae fusion band.  I listened to a few of their songs and thought they were pretty good, and unique.  Maybe your professional ear would have a different opinion though.
Speaker 2
rock-reggea that different and i like different. yes sure give me their number and we can see what can happen
Speaker 1
Okay, I'll have to go find it.  They wrote it down on a napkin for me because none of them seemed to have a phone or anything but cash and very tight jeans.
Speaker 2
okay great will whenever you find it just let me know. How is it having a houseboat? Do you live on it full time?
Speaker 1
Yes, that's my permanent home.  I like it.  I like being on and by the water, and it means I don't have a yard to worry about.  You said you and your spouse have a boat--what kind is it?
Speaker 2
It's just a little fishing boat nothing fancy. but we like it and we love go out together on it. But i always wouldn't a houseboat it just seem so fun to always leave on the water. 
Speaker 1
Yes, for now it's my preference.  We'll see--someday I might come back and live on dry land.  So what are you studying for your bachelor's degree?
Speaker 2
I'm going for early childhood development but i'm not sure if that what i want anymore
Speaker 1
Oh, that's interesting.  Are you studying with the intent of eventually changing your field of work?  Or are you just getting the degree for the sake of it, or for the knowledge, or what?
Speaker 2
i want to work with kids so i thought it would be best to

I work as a bartender. I have 4 siblings. I'm from the USA. I go to the gym every once in a while. I have a Master's Degree. I eat meat. I liked listening to a group of rock-reggae musicians that came into the bar. I live on a houseboat full-time. I like living on the water. I like not having a yard to take care of.

I like going on my fishing boat with my spouse. I am studying early childhood development. I'm not sure if I like what I'm studying. I want to work with kids.
Speaker 1
Ugh, my houseboat sprung a leak! It is in the process of being fixed but, for now, I'm having to live with one of my sisters and her kids are driving me crazy. All they do is talk, talk, talk. 
Speaker 2
Ah, I learned in class that part of the reason kids at certain stages talk so much is that they are curious. Have you tried to tell them what you are passionate about?
Speaker 1
I trad to make them listen to some rock reggae songs i have in my list but they looked at me funny and just laughed
Speaker 2
Yes, Reggae is kind of an acquired taste, unless you grow up with it in Jamaica. When you are tending bar, is there a favorite drink you like to make?
Speaker 1
Nothing fancy at my bar. People mostly go in for beer and shots of whiskey. Simple and easy for me.
Speaker 2
That does make it easy. Does your bar specialize in reggae? I work with musicians from all types of music, and they are always looking for a gig.
Speaker 1
nothing specialized just what the customers pick from the jukebox.  That would be nice to have a live band play once in awhile in the bar.
Speaker 2
Yes, nothing beats live music from a talented band. You must miss your houseboat, what's it like being away from it? 
Speaker 1
i missed it because it is home. I mean it was not much but it was home to me. People think it is just a boat but it more than a boat.
Speaker 2
I hear you. There's nothing more relaxing that being out on the water. Do you ever go fishing from it?
Speaker 1
I do, I just throw a line out and see what I catch. But I imaging it is not the same as fishing from a fishing boat like yours.
Speaker 2
Yes we like to go far out to sea and try to catch big fish like marlin or swordfish. It can be quite a workout, but also relaxing. What do you do to relax?

Speaker 1
I am getting ready for work and I will ask my boss about live music.
Speaker 2
That would be a good idea.  And I could give you some tips on some really great bands that need a gig!  
Speaker 1
What are some of your favorite bands?
Speaker 2
I was in the studio the other day with an unknown band called Rings of Saturn. I don't think they'll be unknown for very long.  They were terrific!  And a lot more professional than a lot of bands I produce for.
Speaker 1
That's really cool! You know all these people before they get famous, I'm jealous of your job. My job is a bit boring. I'd like to change my job soon.
Speaker 2
Do you talked to other musicians about forming a band? Or is it just something you're dreaming about?
Speaker 1
No I have not. I like listening to bands and live music, don't think I will ever form a band myself. How long have you been in the music industry? 
Speaker 2
Since I was 20. I was lucky to get an internship. It's a great industry. I really don't know why I'm going back to school now. I like kids, but I don't think I'd enjoy working in a daycare.
Speaker 1
Yes, it does sound like a fun and exciting industry I can only dream about having a band, my skills are not there yet. You can be a teacher and teach elementary schools, you might like it better than working in a daycare.
Speaker 2
Maybe, but I think I've gotten hooked by the music industry.  I've been there 5 years now, and have room to advance. I may even have a chance to produce for some big name talent in the next few years.  It's hard to give that up.
Speaker 1
I can imagine that. Just take it slow, you're still young and have time to figure out what you really like to do. 
Speaker 2
Yes. Teaching would be a big step down in pay too, but that's not that big a deal. My wife makes plenty of money so I have options and she is encouraging me to do whatever feels right.

I like the music industry. I've been in the music industry for 5 years. I've got a promising career in the music industry. I'm a going to be a teacher at a daycare. I don't think I'd like the job. I'll earn less in my teaching job compared to what I make as a music producer. My wife make a good salary. I have my wife's support.
Speaker 1
I spoke to my boss about having live music.
Speaker 2
Oh yeah? What did he think of it?
Speaker 1
He thought it might be a good idea but isn't convinced it will bring in enough customers. I don't know how to convince him. Any suggestions?
Speaker 2
Hmm, maybe he needs to witness it first hand in order to process it for himself. Do you have any bars around yours that do live music? Maybe you can take your boss there?
Speaker 1
Yeah, there are a few. That's a good idea. If I convince him, then we'll have to choose what type of music suits the bar best I suppose. Right?
Speaker 2
Ye you should organise a night out for your boss. Might also get you a raise too. Yes, what sort of customers do you guys normally get?
Speaker 1
A raise is always welcome. We get a lot of older men, mostly. Not many young people come into the bar. I'm not sure what type of music they're into though.
Speaker 2
Ah, that's an opportunity for you then. How about conducting a survey in the bar foe a week, to get a general sense of what kind of music would be enjoyed overall? You might have to give free drinks but I'm sure you already do that anyway.
Speaker 1
That's an interesting idea. I've never heard of a bar doing that. I wonder how my boss would feel about that. He's pretty cheap too.. not sure about the free drinks.
Speaker 2
Darn that sucks. But would have been a great way to gather information. You don't want to be playing the wrog type of music and then pursue your regular customers, you know.
Speaker 1
That's true. Maybe he'll be more open to it once we check out the other bars with live music. I really think it would liven up the place. Live music is just so great.
Speaker 2
Oh yes it is. How's the current mood of the bar though?
