well what kind of music do you like to listen to
i'm pretty diverse actually um i consider myself both a performer and also an enjoyer so i kind of get into all all types i run the gamut from uh
are you
alternative to uh to rock and roll to heavy metal to you name it so i'm pretty open on that
oh you like country western
country's not bad i can i grew up in Nebraska so it was like um yeah i i listen to it once in a while but it's it's probably not my my top mode i guess that's pretty pretty popular down in Plano though uh
yeah
um yeah we've i mean it you know there's you have all sorts here too um
i went to a pretty uh
well the school i went to was Texas A&M an and uh either you either you went country western dancing or uh
oh yeah
so you didn't do anything at all right
yeah pretty much pretty much so so i have i really liked i liked it there but i also also like some of the Christian um contemporary music that they have play
huh
uh-huh
are you into the Garth Brooks thing at all or is that popular down there right now i know that he's kind of a big name right now
yeah
yeah yeah it's popular here and uh there's all
yeah
and you're also into the Christian contemporary stuff
yeah
yeah i had a i had a roommate that was really into that he was into all the um
groups like uh i'm trying to remember DMZ
um-hum
Resurrection Band uh what else
there are a couple of other ones he was into he was into Petra as well
yeah
in fact it's interesting he he's actually an engineer i don't i i'm going to school in Florida
and he's an engineer that does sound mixing mixing right now for a Christian bands
oh really
so yeah he's pretty into it
that's fun
it's been it's been lucratim for him
well what you you mentioned alternative music
well yeah um kind of like
what is that
i don't know in the early seventies i think it was called punk rock
oh okay
but then now it's it's kind of taken a different slant and i think it's it's gone more diverse toward
um not so much the head banging on the wall stuff as much as just runs
really a wider more eclectic uh
tone flow and things like that so it's i don't know i like i said i consider myself fairly diverse so um
um-hum
you said you're also a performer
yeah yeah i well i play the trumpet um and also keyboards i played keyboards for about uh oh i don't know twelve thirteen years and played trumpet for about ten so
what do you perform
do you
oh wow
it it's good for a side diversion and a little bit of side income you know whenever i can do you do you play anything at all
yeah
um not on a consistent basis at this point i've got three kids and they're preschoolers so i do good to get a book book read or newspaper read or anything so
yeah
oh wow
sure sure free time is not much of a luxury uh
yeah yeah
i know that feeling
in fact i do good to listen to anything but kids' tapes at this point because i know all the kids' tapes it's like yeah
yeah
yeah well maybe hey that may be more quality you know after all
they do have they do have some good tapes out there for kids we i don't know um
yeah
Joe Scruggs is a guy that is out of Austin here that has some wonderful kids tapes it's really i mean they are really fun and uh Joe Scruggs he's with he's an educational
Joe Scruggs huh
um it's called Shadow Play and if you ever see any of his stuff he is just he's really good and and um kids really like it
interesting uh
when you said Scruggs i was thinking because Earl Scruggs is a real famous banjo player a real famous blue grass player
yeah
and uh in fact if you remember the the theme from the Beverly Hillbillies
uh-huh
he actually played part of that
oh
uh he and Lester Flats so uh i was thinking wow wonder if this is a relative
i don't know i don't know well um have you um they're not they're more uh oh have you ever heard of Riders In The Sky i don't know if they're
but
anyway
if they're big up there in fact i think they may have even had a television show on Saturday mornings for kids
oh
yeah i haven't heard much about that no
um
they're pretty neat they're kind of a a a blue grass country uh they're real fun i mean they're
yeah
they're the guys that i mean they can yodel and they can they play the fiddles and the and the saws and stuff and they're real fun they're a real fun group
all right yeah kids probably get into that quite a bit
yeah
i'm uh i'm not quite at that point in my life yet so
yeah well yeah
it'll probably be a while before i uh before i get into the kids' music in at all so
well we saw them originally at a at a club down here um probably about oh seven or eight years ago and um
yeah
then just in the last i don't know two years we saw them on a TV show and i think they were i think they were doing kids' music but
um-hum
what we saw in the you know was adult in the but i don't know i don't know where they run the gamut and i don't know um
right
you know i don't know if the south is more towards the you know has more of that crowd or not i don't know i don't know do you
um-hum
well it's yeah it's hard to tell i know you know like in the Appalachian Mountain area there that thing's real popular yeah i i've had some friends from West Virginia that's you know that it's real popular around there
uh-huh
well
and
