You know, and I've always wanted them to be good and...

And when I say be good, I mean to be well and happy and have some sunshine in their life.

A few years ago, I was able to buy them a home, my parents.

And stuff was good for a while, but it just really breaks my heart that it went back to this and now she's gone.

So I think my duty here...

is to continue doing what I'm doing for one thing, use all that beautiful energy that I get from her, that crazy wild streak.

I got to use that and honor her in that way.

And I feel a great kind of duty as far as just writing down these words, making these songs for people to heal from.

And also, you know, who knows, maybe someday I'll actually be able to help kids that are in the situation that I was in.

Maybe I'll be able to help their parents, you know, like open a rehab or something or something like that to just to help combat this because it's really hard, you know.

Yeah, they're with me on the road.

Heck yeah, man.

So so, yeah, I got the whole the whole gang and.

And we're out there traveling, and it's really cool.

Yeah.

When I was a kid, I mostly just played rhythm.

So I'll give an example of that.

My dad, he would play this.

Yeah, and so I would play...

And so that's how I started, and that's kind of what I did for the first few years of playing.
