Are you listening to one of 1.5. F.m. Newport Beach custom a set and this is the most rock'n'roll magic show you just heard bad company with run with the pack found cat with Terraplane blues sadly Brown with doing fine and the Wailers with another Christmas song she's coming home and as discussed earlier we have some fun we're about to have because we have original drummer of ambrosia Drummond here to talk with us so welcome barely Welcome to the show yeah thanks for having me. Here we are excited to and so honored and ambrosia has a show December 21st so pretty close by for all of our Orange County listeners at the coach house in San Juan Capistrano soberly can you tell us a little bit about this show and what because I know Ambrosia has a pretty big catalog of music so what kind of material can we expect to hear well I'm going to be a little unusual. I mean we're right about. We've got quite. Year we're bringing. You know start of. Them. That would be David Lewis and Roy Jones so we're having a kind of a little reunion on big age you know a little mini set within our. And we're going to visit some of the material that we did back then and these 2 artists were really good about that and because it's out of the special that like a homecoming Yeah but they're you know we've been there every year by year for ever and and it's great it's really like home even though we live all over if. You can improve it was formed in Los Angeles weren't they you know we we were well they basically then. But none of us only want to live there but we all came to fame road to be in that brochure where we formed our sound and our road our 1st but they're not and you know living room or you know in the Right exactly so pretty close by said we got some of that so that local Southern California connection with Ambrosia. So that sounds like so much fun the fact that it's kind of a reunion we love reunions nowadays because they're pretty rare and to bring back the original members does make it such a unique show that we don't want to miss and your wife is in the band too now right yes she is. Been around the band for like 20 year. I she with you know when we read form. Like in 1909 with him back together and work with things she would have been she put to good musicians he would have been and Bill that. And then the crowd like but the last few years he's been you know a solid member and the band has really taken off oh yeah a lot for being our great player as a lot of the you know that's something do you enjoy having. You're in the band then yes it's me and I would probably. That sounds about right yeah and then going back to the history same British have formed about $970.00 right yeah we formed and I knew that maybe next year will be our year you know and. That's incredible and for you. So how did you what inspired your unique sound because Ambrosia does have a very different at kind of musical style so what was your everybody's main inspirations one that you know. There's so many inspiration than you know things that develop but you know there are 4 really unique individual of that name together and one thing that Mindy and though you know we had and your thought where and then we had the Beatles. And we were blues guy and Kurt door and then I was kind of the world. So through all that and to a big with our. Whole album were more progressive than me or. We were bigger America. Crimping and. At the time and missed the cut at our. Own. And then. We were we were recording our 1st. During the day and night we have so we went play of all our make a living. And we were playing r. And b. Every night. So you are kind of you know how you say you are with you we. Can use ition to what they become what they play so you know because they're playing so much of it we are writing it and then you start having it like how much feel and biggest part of me and you're the only woman so it was kind of like the grammar. Even though we don't bid we had it but we were on both sides now we had. But we had Prague and you know then at that time it was like that was 2 different worlds you know but now that all work together to go to an average a concert no we. Although it's something to work the dog in the off in the raw and then all work together and then Broacha Yeah it's just incredible film usually everybody has something then if people are more into positive people or more into the progressive stand you're going to get all of it so there's some different everyone to Levs here but even Ambrose has brought over a lot it and with always. It was never like we never wrote the show off you know how fast we could play or you know how complicated we could play we just knew that that we thought through the phone and that. You know we never we never got too far away from being pure music you know yet exactly kept it kind of more sophisticated it sounds like. So how would you describe are you making any more music these days yeah we had we'd read. Them not about discount that kind of or a retro. Look at our career but epically we do play a new song you know we recorded a couple news. So yeah hopefully to be more in the future for that brilliant firey that do then yeah I love that you keep going and you can bring so many to. Grounds music as you were talking about would you say that. Of the newer songs you're writing kind of what category did they fall into. It really is. That prog and the coming together. We have great hope and but what we have great playing through. Oh you know I mean you know bare metal playing or pushing anything I mean if I had to compare it at all I would say you know I have little believe in it because the. Musicianship is high level but it still has a basic song to it. You know but that might be the core comparison and you definitely see that and and British is known for being an incredible a live act and you guys put on some incredible performances too and so what would you say separates your life performances from your studio recordings what makes it different well I think that the studio I mean we really work our record but but you know we don't want to feel like we're trapped by our record or so when we've played live. In the grammar. We'd like we'd like say that we never thought of our song same way. I mean that's impossible because strange but we do like. And look for the unexpected happens when you know what time of the fire and in the performance. And I repeat it could repeat to the record no you can't thing here you are doing there we play a little bit yeah and then it makes people want to see you more than once to win every concert it's different you don't know what to expect to. Keep them coming back. And you've toured with many other big bands as well like Fleetwood mac the Doobie Brothers heart who would you say was maybe the wildest band that you've toured with. Well they all have something like. And they all have a funny thing that drama and other than like. You know what. An art or get to the bottom girl's name well earned him the guitar and well then yeah and he. And Nancy now yeah I mean watching their break that's our every other day you know you know there are guys lining up her and she was just great fun. You know your wife you know all the members. Which partners you know yes. I'm crazy out there I mean you know and and we we had a you know front row. Pretty Era You know I'm sure you have all those crazy stories . And so anything else that you want to say or and encourage our listeners to come to your show on December 21st. Well. You know it or so I think you know. That's one of the great American. Really really should your life. Really is one of the. I believe it. Well one last question for you both.

You're listening to 11.5. L p f and Newport Beach Coast to Mesa and you just heard a couple of ambrosia songs because in case you just tuned in we just did a little interview with Burley Drummond original drummer of ambrosia who can be seen at the coach house this Saturday December 21st with Ambrosia doing a little reunion as well some original members will be rejoining them who have played with them for a bit so we had Ambrosia with Time waits for no one and ambrosia again with make us all aware. It's that time now where we talk about someone in the roots category someone from back in the day that really was influential in the rock n roll that followed today talking about Styx McGee He was a jump blues guitarist singer and songwriter and he was best known for his blues song drinking wine. Kind of a tongue twister when you say it fast he wrote this one with j. Mayo Williams he received his nickname a Styx McGee when he was a young child. And he used a stick to push a wagon carrying his older brother Brown McGee who had contracted polio so really really sweet brother ship Brotherhood whatever you call it going on there and he made his biggest song which we just said drinking wine studio when he was in the Army because he often would play his guitar that he brought with him there but the original lyrics of the song are not so radio friendly probably would not have gone anywhere back in the day there was a certain word that follows a certain mom kind of name another name from my word that follows is that over and over again but the version he recorded got rid of that word and this one obviously went pretty far and made its way all the way to the most rock and roll magic show on one of 1.5. Sticks McGee and his buddies to be completely accurate. Down. The wrong thing and on our drinking. Life. We're. Going to Only you by sharing are you doing things. To your table. Leaf. Plate. Paid.
