There was one like that.

It was in Motoka.

It wasn't that far from where I lived.

The place is gone now, but, uh,

It was about as big as the room we're in here, if that, you know?

Like, the ceiling tiles were yellow from where everybody had smoked in it since the beginning of time.

But, like, yeah, that was my little spot, those little type of spots.

You did covers?

What'd you play?

What was your go-to?

Back then, it was, like, I don't know, Fishing in the Dark, Nitty Gritty Band, or, like...

any of those old hank like hank jr songs like any of those bar type um david allen co like you never call me by my name any of that kind of stuff and i haven't even played any of those in forever now but that was any of those ones where you get people singing along and stuff that's what i'd always try to do you know yeah that song you perform take me home uh country road and how's that go west virginia yeah it's a good song john denver was just uh one of those guys that

Like, thank God I'm a country boy.

I think that's what I liked about John Denver was he was a little bit like he let himself be a little bit corny in the spirit of like having fun with it.

Like a great example.

There's this old older guy that not a lot of people have heard of named Roy Clark.

But my farm is like a mile down the road from Roy Clark's old farm.

But he used to be on Hee Haw.

I don't know if you ever heard of that old show from like the 60s or whatever.

But yeah.
