I was telling your dad that Full House was my favorite Jay Giles record. Yeah. And, you know, you like all of them, but that one happens to be my favorite because it just was like a snapshot of what we did.

Like a decisive moment. And we just started at, you know, 99 miles an hour and just kept going. Yeah. And your dad was there. It was in a place called the Cinderella Ballroom. And the place was so funky that about six months after we played it, they just tore it down. It's still an empty lot. You literally brought down the house. We brought down the house.

Well, Jordan, during the pandemic, everybody was, friends of mine were writing rock operas, symphonies, doing this and doing that. I just sat and I watched old movies in red. And then a lot of musicians started putting out memoirs. And a lot of them were just, you know, a cookie cutter kind of thing. And unless you were really into the musician, they were kind of boring.

And not all of them, but... Many of them. And so I decided, I was thinking for 10 years of writing a book, and there was a friend of mine, a steam writer, Peter Gernick, that wrote some great books on music, the best books on Elvis that had ever been written.

And he said to me, Peter, if you're going to write the book, you better start now, because the people you're going to want to read are going to be dead. And so there are a lot of notable names in this book, but it's really, I didn't want it to be about me. I wanted it to be about the people that I idolized.

And people like Aretha Franklin, who I got to work with, and people like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. And a lot of the book, yeah. Yeah, that's right. We got a John Lee Hooker fan here. And Van Morrison and all these people that I was honored, you know, to get to meet. And so when I read some of these other books, they would describe, oh, we ran into so-and-so.

But they didn't really tell you what so-and-so was about. So I tried to, you know, bring out the experiences that I had with these artists. And not all artists. Some people are not well-known. But people that I thought were just great characters and who really influenced my life.
