time that then briefly this was the best

►
it's been tuned hammered that face has
[TS]
00:14:24
◼

[TS]
00:14:35
◼

excited that i was going to get a set of
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
steel drums behind the couch because
[TS]
00:14:40
◼
►
short of the bagpipes
[TS]
00:14:43
◼
►
there's only one instrument I mean that
[TS]
00:14:46
◼
►
is the instrument that if you don't know
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
how to play it
[TS]
00:14:48
◼
►
you cannot imagine how and look at their
[TS]
00:14:50
◼

[TS]
00:15:05
◼
►
ok that's number two that's good right

[TS]
00:15:53
◼
►
abandoned the steel drums idea and then
[TS]
00:15:56
◼
►
it was never spoken of again and i think
[TS]
00:15:59
◼
►
it was i think he abandoned it because
[TS]
00:16:00
◼
►
you couldn't find steel drums in Alaska
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
without considerable work more work than

buttons

00:36:33
◼
►
isn't that amazing yeah and it was I

◼
►
just learning some kind of like here's
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
how little melodies change when you move

00:36:41
◼
►
I'm not even sure I understood i
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
understood what was happening that but
[TS]
00:36:45
◼
►
that was between was part of the fun
[TS]
00:36:46
◼
►
there's nothing about it what extent was
[TS]
00:36:48
◼
►
actually in pic embarrassing what I was
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
doing was not anything that I would ever
[TS]
00:36:51
◼
►
do in front of people because it was so
[TS]
00:36:54
◼
►
dorky but I mean you know I don't again
[TS]
00:36:57
◼
►
this is one of those like this should be
[TS]
00:36:58
◼
►
in my bio pic but like that's one of
[TS]
00:37:00
◼
►
those stories were like yeah you know
[TS]
00:37:02
◼
►
that actually was the probably the
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
single biggest thing that got me to
[TS]
00:37:05
◼
►
figure out enough about music to fumble
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
my way around em like 10 because here's
[TS]
00:37:09
◼
►
the problem i mean we talk so much in
[TS]
00:37:10
◼
►
the past about like learning guitar how
[TS]
00:37:12
◼
►
you and I both like never got that good
[TS]
00:37:14
◼
►
at guitar or but like but eventually you
[TS]
00:37:17
◼
►
power through it to where you know the
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
patterns
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
yeah to where you know these like you
[TS]
00:37:22
◼
►
know the 1454 wherever you go
[TS]
00:37:24
◼
►
eventually the bar chords but you don't
[TS]
00:37:26
◼
►
figure that eventually
[TS]
00:37:27
◼
►
the first you just have to learn all
[TS]
00:37:28
◼
►
these open chords and then figure out
[TS]
00:37:29
◼
►
how they fit together
[TS]
00:37:30
◼
►
yeah and the thing is I'm not putting
[TS]
00:37:32
◼
►
this well but your your body and your
[TS]
00:37:35
◼
►
brain are not able to process the music
[TS]
00:37:38
◼
►
part of it you're thinking about the
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
mechanics of moving your hands around
[TS]
00:37:41
◼
►
and trying to like fret properly and
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
keep in tune and all that kind of stuff
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
but with the organ with the buttons i
[TS]
00:37:46
◼
►
could just figure out like like pure
[TS]
00:37:48
◼
►
chord changes you know I was make these
[TS]
00:37:50
◼
►
really fruity like psychedelic and blues
[TS]
00:37:53
◼
►
guys sunshine kind of like you know
[TS]
00:37:55
◼
►
chord changes and it delights me but it
[TS]
00:37:57
◼
►
was so dark I would never do that in
[TS]
00:37:58
◼
►
front of somebody
[TS]
00:37:59
◼
►
well that's one of the things about
[TS]
00:38:00
◼
►
having a sibling is that your siblings
[TS]
00:38:03
◼
►
close enough to you that you cannot
[TS]
00:38:06
◼
►
excuse me you cannot avoid doing dorky
[TS]
00:38:10
◼
►
throwing things in it right and so like
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
the idea that I would and I mean I'm
[TS]
00:38:15
◼
►
sure they're there arrived at a time
[TS]
00:38:18
◼
►
when I would do my my little organ jam
[TS]
00:38:23
◼
►
and my sister would come into dance and
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►

[TS]
00:38:27
◼

00:38:57
◼
►
overlaps itself and interacts with
[TS]
00:38:59
◼
►
itself and i still routinely discover
[TS]
00:39:03
◼

conscious of it as a decorative element
[TS]
00:42:35

the flourish is there to give my hand
[TS]
00:42:38
◼
►
something to do in the air before it
[TS]
00:42:40
◼
►
comes down because because there's a
