Me. Booing. Ways. Is We're very excited to be here and we were hoping they'd be nice and cool out and so we're so lucky that it actually is. And I also think it's worth mentioning that we had heard us introduced as a sibling brothers which is totally true not wrong but I'd just like to clarify that we're identical twins we figure some of you would like to meet us later maybe hopefully or not. But if you know any more now that they know. But sometimes you know we get questions you know made be at a restaurant maybe after a show and it's usually the same one over and over and over again so let's just get that out of the way. Now we're going to play a song about a tree. To. So we come from Brooklyn New York anybody know that place. A lot of people from the country like Ga can't drag me to that city. But we like it but we understanding I wouldn't drag anybody I get a taxi I think. It's a good 1st I think but anyway one of the things about living in Brooklyn is that the very top of Brooklyn is a bunch of really amazing views of Manhattan and says it's as beautiful as the wilderness is except kind of the opposite you know. But you know you can find some magical times especially late at night where you can just kind of sit and watch the water and I guess this the song takes place in one of those moments yeah. I actually used to get off work I was bartending and I get off work at 4 in the morning and I would go to this it's called. East River it's called Brooklyn Bridge Park sorry and I would I would ride my bike through there and I would stop because sometimes I would need to you know I mean I had to get off work at a bar and. And it was so beautiful though and they were just building the park and then one day they finished building the park and I was there and a cop came and told me that I was trespassing and the park was closed and I was like but it's been open all this time while you're building it for the and that's what he said. Anyway here's a song. Oh down ways. To bag Dead Sea. So on. The train. Just. Do some good sit down 1st. See tugboats talking tie they just both. So we like to get incredibly political. Future voters right there. But before we do I forgot we're going to play a song before that one. But we really dig your enthusiasm . There was maybe the greatest thing that's ever happened. In my whole performing career. And I can't think of anything better that was that's it it's it's memorable. Anyway this isn't the song isn't political at all. For the night time comes on slow and gather that. The mountains are green. The stars like to whisper little things. And the mood always seems your song to me . Same boy when you look at the her exit. Just tell me what it is you see. Do you have to make the sun. Oh isn't just that we knew to be. Singin boy ain't gonna break her heart. If not now then sometime along the way. With There might be a Paris in this fairy tale you know little boy are you going to break her heart. Or a going to break her heart. I told this so far away in lonesome. You just sittin in bother the place. Where the sky for the lives of change. In the news. In the morning sky is me feel that the. Sun comes up to even now today. When it goes down then tapestries pain. But I know I'm only going to hire. Him my aunt be a parent as soon as fair. But I know I'm going to bring her car. I know I'm going to bring our. Needs Yeah I want to sell you what I am going away. Oh yeah morning. Way. You know I'm. Going to bring her heart I'm going to. So when we're driving down the road. We whoever is not driving is just looking at Twitter and reading it to the other person just trying to give you an idea of how incredibly political We are. And one of the one of the topics that we find most controversial and we don't to scare anybody here if we want to take a stance so like wait 5 minutes if you're going to walk out on us so that nobody knows. We take a stand that we think Forest fires are bad. And you know what we don't we don't care if it hurts our career no big deal. And. That was a good yardstick that was the stick. So we just go into it it didn't work so well. We're going to have to retool. The preferred Peace Ranch just like it means to everyone and nobody else is going to like it. Was the new Peoria. Which is actually where we're from so yeah so don't don't cheer don't do that you don't know you're cheering for. Mama mama help me I'm drowning in. Mother Nature's Way in bands training. Others here mother. Try to drink your water but in town is it me thirsty to try and try and try and strike. Posed me out posed. By the father Hale I'm wasted all this time on the cd she says cross one day and let it. Get into my Jewish zone now it shone like you know. But try to train train train. Ride it was me yeah This is why from your McAlpin infer piece ranch this concert featuring the brother brothers recorded July 20th 21000. This is your mind you're listening to Live from the for Peace Ranch Here's some more great music from the brother brothers now we'd like to play a song for you called the banjo song. Today. As anybody here been in love. Ok we get to 3 great. He looks like he's been in love a couple times. All right well and. It was really sweet actually. Anyway have any of you all they ever had the experience of falling in love and you're like oh I'm not love now because this person is making me a better person because we do yoga you know. And when I'm talking about and then you guys get really into yoga and then like really into yoga and then your lady friend gets really really into yoga and goes on a yogurt treat Decosta Reka with her guru Joel. And maybe if you don't feel like doing yoga as much anymore and. This one's called the banjo song. Playing it on the guitar. She told. Her history. Now we're going to do a song about a completely different kind of love. The kind of love that Ohio has for Pennsylvania. It's not good or bad it's just what it is. It's not what it is it's what it has to be. It is but. It's a huge advantage when you're excited when the lights all. Play. A little. Bit. Which doing only inside. Job. Cuts. The good it will let it go. If you get it but you never get laid at least to. Give it a bit. Of a living you gave me the finger. Nail set me up to. Educate me on down the street. With. No place to live But I never can remember a. Few people. Thought . That's out of. Hand for him through. You know how to play fast. Yeah I've been to Pennsylvania. We usually the verb we use is not verb the adverb is no is it edited to my Forget it. It wasn't going to be funny anyway why did I even start. We're going to say Pennsylvania No it's good though I was going to say we usually the word we use is through Pennsylvania because you've got to go through that to get a lot of places that's a preposition. That's exactly what it is. Thank God I'm awfully everyone. What an intellect what a mind. Anyway we're going to do this next song about a town at the very bottom tip of Illinois and when you grow up in Illinois you realize that it's a very interesting state because well an easy way to put it is that the Mason Dixon line is to split it in half in the during the Civil War and. It's just so American There's nothing I mean Ohio is the same way. We all know how the Midwest is is there's nothing more American than the Midwest I would have to say. I'm also running for Congress. But at the very bottom tip there is where the Ohio River and Mississippi intersect and used to be this huge shipping town until the railroads came in and then it went out of business but the the soil itself is just so incredibly lush and green and. It's just a town that I guess hurting I don't know but it's a really interesting place for my brain and that's the song's about and just for any locals that might want to correct us after the song We know that everybody from there says Kaye Roe Illinois just in case we missed pronounce it during the song we know. You understand we're talking about after it's over. 3. Towns when you have sat down live bones on a big easy. With the money. To will spread. The word so many hard days don't see it in. Really sad and. Lonely known read a good. Bit of. Down the things. You can. Would you make it big. Home. To get it to. Them. Down they. Weren't you me. So. Going. Forward to. Doing. A. Bit. Then. They. Would you know me. So go. Forward. With there. You are. I was wonder how they awesome guitar players are able to just be like one foot chase while they're playing can't figure out. That's why there's nobody here to ask. It's not to be like well you just stand on one foot and push the button it's obvious with the answer it's. A city. That's swimming in. This way. How you see comes when. I'm a job. I had. Was a must. See the King don't fit . Really. Tends to melt. Have to be the name. Well we'd like to do a country song for you now is a cool Ok we're pretty close to West Virginia. I feel like you know like West Virginia better than Pennsylvania is that true. I mean I'm not from around here but just a feeling I get. We like West Virginia. But this country song I would like to dedicate I wrote it for the work in person of 2019. It's basically it's dedicated to anybody who does whatever it is they don't want to do so they can do whatever it is they do want to do. I neve know to be public I think you're gonna sign away my heart again. I didn't read the tang writing I just line the sand the bottom of the page and. Spend the money paid no interest in my love and now she's leaving me.

You know what was on the jukebox in the front. Oh. Man oh man the cat's going to show you the soup in the bath. Room blues rock n roll history music. Rhythm and Blues with it's a craze but it's a very good craze and then. There's Murray beautiful songs recorded with a number of people who just take time summer people don't want to just take time out. Listen to it that's the voice of a young Elvis Presley who has risen to enormous fame he's facing his detractors who are calling his music style rhythm and blues. And so it begins the rise of the most popular and influential musical figure of the 20th century Elvis Presley I met the cat and this week's juke in the back focuses on the cat who made rhythm and blues mainstream they cleaned it up a little bit they called it rock n roll but it still had that excitement of the old rhythm and blues sounds this is such an amazing and fertile time in music history cats like Elvis were blazing into a whole new world while taking some of the past with them Elvis reinterpreted the music that he had heard growing up the music that really turned him on whether it was Country and Western hillbilly gospel rhythm and blues or blues Elvis was influenced by it all it was like a musical sponge and when he got his chance on the big stage he put out his own version of the music that had moved him so much in his formative years and that's what this. In the back is all about the rhythm and blues music that influenced Elvis. Elvis loved country singers like Hank Williams and Hank Snow he loved the Gospel quartets he dug on pop singers like Dean Martin and he was moved by the blues but most importantly Elvis embrace rhythm and blues he got his hip gyrations by watching Jackie Wilson on stage with Billy nor in the Dhamma he wanted to sing like Clyde McPhatter he wanted the down home wrongness of Arthur Big Boy credit Elvis was certainly derivative of the styles but he put it all together and made it his own and if Elvis hadn't brought this music into the mainstream would Buddy Holly or Carl Perkins ever have gotten the chance and if they hadn't latched onto what Elvis was doing then maybe the Beatles the Rolling Stones The Who The Small Faces Led Zeppelin and countless others never would have caught the rock'n'roll bug and then where would we be it all goes back to Elvis and for Elvis it all goes back to those influences and that's our focus on this week's juke in the back the soul that came before rock'n'roll the rhythm and blues sounds of the 1940 s. And fifty's they're spinning off Chalak 70 eight's of our old Rock ola jukebox Let's begin by going back to Elvis's 1st session for Sun Records it was held on July 5th 1954 at 706 Union Avenue in Memphis Tennessee the guy behind the Ampex reel to reel machine was none other than Sam Phillips who had founded Sun Records in 1952 to record blues rhythm and blues country and western hillbilly and gospel music Phillips was in for all by the sounds he heard coming out of the black community and he knew that those sounds would take the world by storm if they could just be made a little more palatable to the white audience he figured the only way to do this was to get away. White can be saying with that African-American feel it all came together when he found Elvis a 19 year old truck driver originally from Tupelo Mississippi Elvis was ready he had prepared for this moment he was trying to be discovered in 1953 when he came into the Memphis recording service the home of Sun Records to cut a demo of my happiness but as the late great Sam Phillips recalls nothing was really happening on this 1st session Elvis wasn't really jelling with the 2 guys that Sam had put him together with Scotty more on guitar and Bill Black on bass but then something magical happened let's hear it right from the horse's mouth here's Sam Phillips. For 5 times nothing really happened and so I had come in the studio and told them to. Stay around and kick it around a little more are they could go on home and Elvis kept on his guitar and Scotty had taken off his strap on his guitar and had laid. His old upright Dollhouse bass and it was cut down almost. Just beat the hell out of the guitar made bricks trying to go on a kind of. Mom a lot heard that old song but I mean he never offered it you know at all in fact I had no idea he knew when I heard that band good God just look. Back on. This day.
