you guys are popular because you treat your audiences like adults. You share knowledge on the basis that you think it's worth sharing. People are starved of knowledge in traditional media. You remind us there is richness to life.
I love this pair. Rick is a great interviewer, in part because he is so knowledgeable, but mainly because he can keep his train of thought while actually listening (is this perhaps a jazz musician thing?). Adam is such a nerd in the best of ways, and has an intense and humble intelligence that allows him to make incredibly insightful connections and talk about anything from a musical point of view. They are cultural treasures and much more than "youtubers" (they will outlast the platform).
@@guitarreilly I think the point was, these guys are important figures beyond the platform, unlike creators who achieved notoriety by getting good at youtube (learning to work the algo, learning to produce video that works for the format, following [or setting] trends): No, these guys have gifts to bring that don't depend on the youtube platform. it may be how they reach their audience, but if it were taken away today, they'd still have important things to say.
One big reason (of many big reasons) why Rick’s interviews are so good is the simple fact that the guests being interviewed have legitimate RESPECT for the interviewer. They can relate to Rick as “one of them”, so they are much more likely to open up. I agree with what other people have said… there should be a TH-cam award for Rick’s interviewing successes.
It was known by composers because it was good for learning music theory, but it was considered old fashioned and wasn't performed. Mendelssohn did see the musical value in it and presented it to audiences.
Vivaldi might be the better example. Very popular in his lifetime, faded into obscurity soon after his death, no children to promote his legacy, basically forgotten for two centuries, then revived about a century ago by Fritz Kreisler and has become one of the most recognizable composers in the mass culture ever since.
@@digitaljanusGustav Mahler is another more recent example. His music fell off the radar for about 50 years after he died until Leonard Bernstein’s recordings reintroduced him to a new generation in the 1960s. Now his symphonies are among the most frequently played in the world. It’s notable too that in all three of these cases - Bach, Vivaldi, and Mahler - it wasn’t teachers, critics, or scholars who inspired their rehabilitations. It was other musicians who had a genuine passion for their works and used that passion to inspire other people to give those composers another listen.
This interview has a direct music lesson for musicians of all sizes that has nothung to do with "AABA". Rick and Adam are creating the "music" out of thin air. They had no real structure or form, they just decided to wing it. This interview is so phenominal because they both listen to the other, they give each other space to feel it (talk), they support the other's "music" l, they sense when the "tune" is changing and go with it, and they are simply having fun. Having been a working musician since the 80's, I can promise you even experienced musicians can learn this lesson.
Great conversation, they should do this more of them. Rick's mentioning that Keith Jarrett had wished he had recorded with Wayne Shorter really got me thinking what an awesome collaboration that would have been.
Not only are classical music composers taught in school but their music is used so ubiquitously in movies, TV, commercials, etc. Even if people don't know all of their names, I'm sure most still know the melodies.
this sort of ‘fly on the wall’ insight into a conversation like this between two musical doyens, makes me so grateful for this platform. thank you Rick and Adam - love both of your channels. cheers
I loved this conversation! You guys are so well spoken and ask each other really poignant questions. This 80-year concept is fascinating to me because I've spent time thinking about what it means to be in the public consciousness and why some artists are remembered more deeply than others. I agree with Adam that education plays a large role - the aural and oral traditions keeping individuals alive - as well as the simple fact that other artists enjoy performing and doing renditions of what we call jazz standards. When something is good, it's undeniable, and you want to replicate it or put your own spin on it. Please keep doing these interesting discussions!
It's so refreshing hearing two people speaking with well thought out arguments going back and forth, compared to so much BS these days. Which are mostly just dumping poorly understood offensive statements.
I actually talked about a similar discussion in my PhD dissertation. Events (and in your conversation artists) have a lifespan that has changed because of technological advances. Our traditions of sheet music and or oral/aural musical traditions shifted with the advent of recorded technology. I talked about how Blues music was a perfect example because it was primarily aural/oral and was passed down that way, but with recorded technology it changed our conception of what a musical event meant. Really great convo!
I'm studying classical cello, and I did check out the Keith Jarrett interview. I've been watching yours and Adam's videos for years as a jazz outsider, and I keep coming back because I know there's something beautiful about it. That interview with Keith Jarrett was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I'd never heard of him before and I still don't comprehend much of what it's like to be a jazz musician, but I could feel his humanity through his playing. That was something. So thank you for doing what you do, educating, sharing history and theory, and documenting a bit of the lives of some amazing people.
"I'm not going to say his name, but Rhett....." I literally laughed out loud 😂😂😂 this was an extremely insightful interview. I continue to glean so much from Rick's channel
Both of you are perfect well-spoken, intelligent and reasonable show hosts and at the same time good musicians. Before TH-cam we were not really exposed to people showing both qualities. It is a joy to learn about music, history, musicians, music theory, music interpretation, musical experimentation and society by a good presenter. If both your videos were half as good then still they would be better than 98% of the internet. So I hope you don't feel too much pressure and continue making enjoyable and educational videos.
Love this Interview! Can we get an Anthony Jackson interview please? He has played on so many amazing records! Chaka Khan’s Naughty, his invention of the 6 string and early adoption of the round wound bass string, Michel Camilo, Michel petrucciani, Hiromi, Steely Dan… etc etc etc.
Great point from Adam about the quality of the recording. I think what one might also take into the consideration is that many modern musicians have a history with indie music, which also tends to have lower quality performance and mixes.
I live in Europe. Bach, Beethoven, and a host of other European composers are still very much a part of popular culture here. I listen to classical music every day on the radio and concerts happen regularly everywhere. It seems to be deeply woven into the fabric of the society.
…thinking about triads vs fourths… I can’t say I ever thought that exactly. But starting today, I will be! Thanks Rick and Adam! What you do Rick is NOT intuitive, it’s a gift and thank you for sharing it!
Adam - "What the hell was that video about?" I'm not sure either, but the knowledge, interaction, and respect you have for each other make this so comfortable to watch. I'm glad you two do what you do. It's entertaining. I feel enlightened, but unsure of what I do with this information.
Hey Rick, I love your channel. I am a blind guitar player, I love the things that you were doing on your channel. I love the interviews, it’s just awesome thank you for doing what you’re doing. Sending many blessings and best wishes from the blind guy. Peace. 19:32
Great Video! Two great tastes that taste great together! You are two of my favorite music instructors and I have learned so much from both of you. Your song analysis videos are oh so useful and informative. Because of you both, I understand chords and the way that they function such to be useful in my own compositions. It is great to see you both in the same video working together. A nice way to start my morning. 🙂
Honestly, Rick, I found out about you through Mary Spender and Adam. But I've stayed because you are an awesome person and I love how your videos are young meets old.
Artists like The Bee Gees died 4 times during their long career but grew stronger after every death. Yet a TH-cam producer only ever gets one short stab at popularity, there is rarely ever another time of mass popularity. So much of the online environment is fleeting, short stabs of being popular, whatever popular is. I should have quit 6 years ago when I was ahead of the curve. Hanging on has done some very serious damage to my health
Just watched your 2022 chat. Will save this for later because I have to send some videos to my son to aid in recovery. But really like you both and watch many of your videos. Always entertaining, always instructive. And I am a non-musician, but I can learn from you a lot about what I cannot do or play.
I’m 63 and grew up watching old Bob Hope films here in the UK, particularly the Road Movies with Bing Crosby. The Lemon Drop Kid, The Cat and the Canary, and Son of Paleface with Jane Russel is a classic too. He became a bit of an anachronism later on, but at his peak he was a genuinely funny guy. Buttons and Bows 🙂
Rick is winning the TH-cam music teachers game by miles above some of my favorite music teachers on the platform! I bought the Beato ultimate bundle a few weeks ago Rick! Thinking of becoming a member of the Beato Club as well! Thank you for all that you do! So glad with the interviews and guests you’ve had on recently.
I believe many very famous musicians have been non conformist school dropouts and hence they were autodidacts and learnt in a unique way and stood out as being unique artists.
Good guitarist, but a deep state war hawk. I'm normally a "separate the artist and the art" guy but Skunk is a defense industry consultant (ie: advising on how to make weapons of war more lethal). He also wrote for Jane's Defense for years. He's deeper in that world than he ever was in music.
@@peachmelba1000 I think he has a lot to offer musically as well. I recently watched his American guitar technique videos and he seems like he has a lot of musical history under his belt, and in one of videos he says jazz improvisation and the like improves non linear thinking, hence his interests in other fields with the same principles applied to them. He often refers to himself as being just a "hippie guitarist". He seems like a genuinely good guy with a lot of music experience and it's influence in other domains as well. I'd sure love to see him being interviewed by Rick Beato
Yes, absolutely channels like yours will be remembered and these videos will never truly disappear. Even if you deleted your entire channels right now, some of your videos will live on. Probably quite a few of them, actually. And ten, twenty... however many years we make it into the future... people searching for information about artists you've discussed/interviewed, songs/music styles you've explained/dissected, musical theory/history, etc., WILL find your videos. There's no going back, the internet is forever until humans stop existing. So yes, absolutely, your work on this platform will be remembered. Could even be popular, or considered important. Who knows what people will look back on in that way in the future.
Hi Rick, in regards to your 'Why Do We Stop Listening to Our Favorite Artists?', I think you could call it 'Aging out', not that the band becomes less relevant but that the person listening to a favorite bands tastes change and expand and focus changes and they move on.
Most modern TH-camrs have a PHD in Google and Wikipedia. But when someone truly UNDERSTANDS AND APPRECIATES their subject matter, they have the tools required to COMMUNICATE it effectively and enjoyably. (Communication is its own skill, but without those other two fundamental elements, it's infotainment.)
You are totally on point. My chemistry professor, when I was working on my Masters in education, once told me that most can get a degree in education, but only a small percentage are good teachers. They have the "it" factor.
Too short this interview! A friend of mine said something about how he sees Adam Neely, he said he sees Adam talking about music the same way he watched Carl Sagan talking about the nature. I never thought about that, but I think it makes sense. Love these guys.
I know that I now enjoy lots of music that I didn't like when I was younger, mainly because it's sounds better than it did back when I was listening thru bad equipment in my youth. I really enjoy Adam's videos with Mary Spender.
This is the equivalent of Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt talking NASCAR, Joe Montana and Joe Namath talking football, LeBron James and Michael Jordan talking basketball and Gordon Ramsay Emeril Lagassé talking food (I was tempted to list like a hundred more, but you get my point) The best, most accomplished and knowledgeable names in their respective fields. This is magic!
Still waiting for you to do a show about JD Beck and Domi. My kids love them. You're always talking about pop music being boring but these guys are pop and can actually make a difference in today's music
I have the same view that DOMi and JD Beck are a bridge between jazz and pop so will be a great positive influence on pop. Similarly, The Consouls take the nostalgia of vgm and turn it into great jazz which engages a younger audience. I think the pendulum is swinging back towards interesting music again!
The saving grace is that an artist is also born twice, the second time occurring when they commit to their art. A person whose life is sweeping the street or working a cash register doesn't have that opportunity, unless they are also an artist or a lover.
As a TH-camr that contemplated quitting a few times, seeing you talk about enjoying that type of videos is kind of hilarious. I won't give you the satisfaction! You won't see a quitting video from me 🤣
I just watched Adam's analysis of Wayne Shorter's music. It is free of cliches and is original, and most importantly, he explains why Shorter's music is so incredible.
Love your interviews! You think you're ever going to get PETER GABRIEL on!? Would love to hear some of the breakdowns and how he puts his tracks together. I've always been mesmerized by how he can make odd time sigs and unusual melodies part of the public conscious!
Guilliame de Machaut, no sh!t! When David Munrow and his Early Music Consort of London released the Grammy Award winning album "The Art Of Courtly Love" in 1973 (1977 Grammy for best Chamber Music performance) this incredible 3 LP vinyl boxed set introduced music from Medieval and Renaissance composers such as Guilliame de Machaut, who wrote compositions of such beauty and complex simplicity as to turn my own musical journey upside down. Instead of seeking Teles and Les Pauls, I was collecting krummhorns and rauschpfeiffen, bagpipes and harpsichords. Of course I was still making my living playing bass in a rock band, but there were bizarre fusion/prog bands back then like Gentle Giant and Gryphon that were bravely mixing it all up, Medieval thru Hard Rock. Anyway, just glad to hear Machaut's name being mentioned, I guess he's not dead yet either... ;)
Innovators, or at least very original figures, those who stand up over the others of their respective eras because they had success while doing it differently from anybody else: these usually get to be remembered a lot more then equally or even more successful figures of their period. Talking about Bob Hope, for example, as an almost 50 years old Italian man I never heard about him beside his bare name ringing vaguely familiar to me. But I've heard, and consumed quite a bit of, the Marx Brothers' work, and Groucho's in particular. I've watched their movies, I've seen some of their television appearances, and I've also read some of their written work. And as old as their work is, as old and culturally far as it's always been for me, I've still enjoyed it a lot. I still read or watch some of their work once in awhile to this day, indeed. Because what they did feels original, fun, unique, and, especially, relevant today. Thanks for your videos!
I don’t know of many (any?) interviewers who can rival Rick’s 1) knowledge, 2) enthusiasm, and 3) ability to communicate. Rare to get all three in the same person! He is like a much less formal Leonard Bernstein, but with a focus on rock/jazz/pop
Great show Rick, Bob Hope was a Brit I went to his theatre that he paid for in a south London suburb called Eltham, I saw Carmen it was fantastic, the theatre is tiny but charming. Love the show . PEACE and LOVE to EVERYONE.
Great art has a timeless quality. If you listen to it, it still sounds like it could have been made today. Example most of George Carlin's routines are not dependent on knowledge of current events. Where as all of Bob Hope's routines were.
I grew up seeing Hope on TV in his specials, which were ok but, to me, never hilarious. But I knew that when Woody Allen was a kid, he'd been a big fan of Hope from his movies in the 1940s, and those were actually laugh-out-loud funny.
Regarding the "crappy quality" of recording technology before the 50s, younger people probably don't mind it as much because low-fidelity music is practically a genre now.
This entire concept breaks my heart. So many greats that will be forgotten…And then there’s the greats that were never known… Bob Hope was perhaps the funniest and most witty to ever do it!! Great topic guys. PS. I think certain bands will be reborn and studied for hundred of years, again and again… #Queen #TheBeatles
Our time will pass. People will find, create, appreciate and fall in love with their own great artforms, and keep only whatever from our time still speaks to them.
Pryor only died two years after Bob Hope. They've been gone roughly the same amount of time. Pryor had a much shorter life and a shorter career. BUT Pryor is still relevant in the comedy world, and Hope is not. Bob is like formulaic pop music and Pryor is like Hendrix. Pryor represents a tectonic shift. Everything that came after was impacted. Mark Twain will outlast them both.
I think the reason Instagram is more popular with musicians is because it’s more popular with other entertainment industries in general. If we get lucky we can not only gain an audience, but potentially network professionally.
what a great episode. I would love if you did more jazz content. The Metheny interview of course was EPIC. Lots of great cats out there. Moreno, Hekselman, Criss Potter etc etc.....
In Rocky 3 Rocky is in the exhibition match with Thunder lips and Mickey says “ no one would do this much for charity” Rocky’s reply “ Bob Hope would”!
Two members of my TH-cam All Stars Jazz Band. Would love to see Beato and Neely along with Aimee Nolte and George Fludas team up for a few tunes for us to enjoy!
So many insightful comments in here which I feel is a reflection of the conversation. Which, off the cuff, is more listenable than most preconceived videos/convos because the Quality of the two speaking is high. Their Quality in their life and effort to learn shines through to us and it inspires me. Should get off TH-cam and play guitar but not til this convo is over.
you guys are popular because you treat your audiences like adults. You share knowledge on the basis that you think it's worth sharing. People are starved of knowledge in traditional media. You remind us there is richness to life.

Actually, Bach was apparently "forgotten" for a long time before being unearthed by Mendelssohn almost a century after his death.
It was known by composers because it was good for learning music theory, but it was considered old fashioned and wasn't performed. Mendelssohn did see the musical value in it and presented it to audiences.
Vivaldi might be the better example. Very popular in his lifetime, faded into obscurity soon after his death, no children to promote his legacy, basically forgotten for two centuries, then revived about a century ago by Fritz Kreisler and has become one of the most recognizable composers in the mass culture ever since.

That felt odd to hear. I'd assumed they recorded together at some point.
Imho, I wish Keith and Charles Lloyd would record/play again some day
Bach's reputation was elevated years after he died. He was an old-fashioned relic in his own time, as music was moving on to the classical style.
Not only are classical music composers taught in school but their music is used so ubiquitously in movies, TV, commercials, etc. Even if people don't know all of their names, I'm sure most still know the melodies.

Hi Rick, in regards to your 'Why Do We Stop Listening to Our Favorite Artists?', I think you could call it 'Aging out', not that the band becomes less relevant but that the person listening to a favorite bands tastes change and expand and focus changes and they move on.
Most modern TH-camrs have a PHD in Google and Wikipedia. But when someone truly UNDERSTANDS AND APPRECIATES their subject matter, they have the tools required to COMMUNICATE it effectively and enjoyably. (Communication is its own skill, but without those other two fundamental elements, it's infotainment.)
You are totally on point. My chemistry professor, when I was working on my Masters in education, once told me that most can get a degree in education, but only a small percentage are good teachers. They have the "it" factor.
For me Adam's video on jazz reharmonization maybe my favorite music theory video of all time. I got so much out of that video.
Adam is a superstar.
Benny Goodman was huge in his time and I would suggest his influence is felt through the generation that directly followed him.
Too short this interview! A friend of mine said something about how he sees Adam Neely, he said he sees Adam talking about music the same way he watched Carl Sagan talking about the nature. I never thought about that, but I think it makes sense. Love these guys.
I've never heard "canon" four times in a video, except on a photographic site. Your show today was excellent. Thanks. --BAK--
Two of the Best at what ever it is they do....
J.S. Bach had vanished from public consciousness, too, before Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy re-discovered and performed his music in the 19th century.
I know that I now enjoy lots of music that I didn't like when I was younger, mainly because it's sounds better than it did back when I was listening thru bad equipment in my youth.
I really enjoy Adam's videos with Mary Spender.
I loved Adam's mention of Knowing Better! KB has an amazing channel.
I have to say I don't like Jazz but I follow this and Adam's channel, because they're about music, and I like music :)
Adam Neely really does refer his fans to some awesome places, it's how I found both you and Sevish on youtube.
This is the equivalent of Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt talking NASCAR, Joe Montana and Joe Namath talking football, LeBron James and Michael Jordan talking basketball and Gordon Ramsay Emeril Lagassé talking food (I was tempted to list like a hundred more, but you get my point) The best, most accomplished and knowledgeable names in their respective fields. This is magic!
We need a Tom Bukavac interview and we desperately need an ELO/Jeff Lynne video.
YES 😀
Ohh yes please! However, I beleive Jeff Lynne is not too fond of doing interviews.
Yes Jeff Lynne 👍🏼
Still waiting for you to do a show about JD Beck and Domi. My kids love them. You're always talking about pop music being boring but these guys are pop and can actually make a difference in today's music
I have the same view that DOMi and JD Beck are a bridge between jazz and pop so will be a great positive influence on pop. Similarly, The Consouls take the nostalgia of vgm and turn it into great jazz which engages a younger audience. I think the pendulum is swinging back towards interesting music again!
The saving grace is that an artist is also born twice, the second time occurring when they commit to their art. A person whose life is sweeping the street or working a cash register doesn't have that opportunity, unless they are also an artist or a lover.
As a TH-camr that contemplated quitting a few times, seeing you talk about enjoying that type of videos is kind of hilarious. I won't give you the satisfaction! You won't see a quitting video from me 🤣
Amazing!! What a great surprise to see this on my feed 😁 You are both so inspiring!
Yup! I hit play immediately when it popped up.
Awesome to see you two talk shop!
I just watched Adam's analysis of Wayne Shorter's music. It is free of cliches and is original, and most importantly, he explains why Shorter's music is so incredible.
Love it when these two come together!
Rick, you discovered that you're not famous until you're Neely famous! The Neely Boost.... I love it!
Love your interviews! You think you're ever going to get PETER GABRIEL on!? Would love to hear some of the breakdowns and how he puts his tracks together. I've always been mesmerized by how he can make odd time sigs and unusual melodies part of the public conscious!
Wonderful conversation. Thanks, gents!
Why have I never heard of Adam Neely?? TH-cam has so many hidden treasures!
you are in for a treat
Adam is AMAZING
Guilliame de Machaut, no sh!t!
When David Munrow and his Early Music Consort of London released the Grammy Award winning album "The Art Of Courtly Love" in 1973 (1977 Grammy for best Chamber Music performance) this incredible 3 LP vinyl boxed set introduced music from Medieval and Renaissance composers such as Guilliame de Machaut, who wrote compositions of such beauty and complex simplicity as to turn my own musical journey upside down. Instead of seeking Teles and Les Pauls, I was collecting krummhorns and rauschpfeiffen, bagpipes and harpsichords. Of course I was still making my living playing bass in a rock band, but there were bizarre fusion/prog bands back then like Gentle Giant and Gryphon that were bravely mixing it all up, Medieval thru Hard Rock.
Anyway, just glad to hear Machaut's name being mentioned, I guess he's not dead yet either... ;)
Nice shout out to Knowing Better. Always fun when one of your favorite TH-camrs mentions they're also a fan of another one of your favorite TH-camrs.
I was starting to give up on youtube, but you pulled me back
Stay strong NYC musicians!💪🏻
Yeah. Knew of Adam's stuff before Rick's. But this is the Musical Collab we've been waiting to see.
Innovators, or at least very original figures, those who stand up over the others of their respective eras because they had success while doing it differently from anybody else:
these usually get to be remembered a lot more then equally or even more successful figures of their period.
Talking about Bob Hope, for example, as an almost 50 years old Italian man I never heard about him beside his bare name ringing vaguely familiar to me.
But I've heard, and consumed quite a bit of, the Marx Brothers' work, and Groucho's in particular.
I've watched their movies, I've seen some of their television appearances, and I've also read some of their written work. And as old as their work is, as old and culturally far as it's always been for me, I've still enjoyed it a lot.
I still read or watch some of their work once in awhile to this day, indeed.
Because what they did feels original, fun, unique, and, especially, relevant today.
Thanks for your videos!
I don’t know of many (any?) interviewers who can rival Rick’s 1) knowledge, 2) enthusiasm, and 3) ability to communicate. Rare to get all three in the same person! He is like a much less formal Leonard Bernstein, but with a focus on rock/jazz/pop
Great show Rick, Bob Hope was a Brit I went to his theatre that he paid for in a south London suburb called Eltham, I saw Carmen it was fantastic, the theatre is tiny but charming. Love the show . PEACE and LOVE to EVERYONE.
Great art has a timeless quality. If you listen to it, it still sounds like it could have been made today. Example most of George Carlin's routines are not dependent on knowledge of current events. Where as all of Bob Hope's routines were.
I grew up seeing Hope on TV in his specials, which were ok but, to me, never hilarious. But I knew that when Woody Allen was a kid, he'd been a big fan of Hope from his movies in the 1940s, and those were actually laugh-out-loud funny.
Regarding the "crappy quality" of recording technology before the 50s, younger people probably don't mind it as much because low-fidelity music is practically a genre now.
This entire concept breaks my heart. So many greats that will be forgotten…And then there’s the greats that were never known…
Bob Hope was perhaps the funniest and most witty to ever do it!!
Great topic guys.
PS. I think certain bands will be reborn and studied for hundred of years, again and again…
#Queen
#TheBeatles
Our time will pass. People will find, create, appreciate and fall in love with their own great artforms, and keep only whatever from our time still speaks to them.
Bob Hope didn’t write his own jokes. We all remember Chaplin
I love how Adam Neelys sock is on top of the leave of his jeans. Mark of true genius! :D
Rode his bike to the studio
Pryor only died two years after Bob Hope. They've been gone roughly the same amount of time. Pryor had a much shorter life and a shorter career. BUT Pryor is still relevant in the comedy world, and Hope is not. Bob is like formulaic pop music and Pryor is like Hendrix. Pryor represents a tectonic shift. Everything that came after was impacted.
Mark Twain will outlast them both.
Love it when Rick and Adam show the importance of jazz in modern culture....
Video/film editing is all about rhythm, tempo, feel and taste. Just like music.
I just checked out his band Sungazer and I’m now a fan!
I think the reason Instagram is more popular with musicians is because it’s more popular with other entertainment industries in general. If we get lucky we can not only gain an audience, but potentially network professionally.
what a great episode. I would love if you did more jazz content. The Metheny interview of course was EPIC. Lots of great cats out there. Moreno, Hekselman, Criss Potter etc etc.....
In Rocky 3 Rocky is in the exhibition match with Thunder lips and Mickey says “ no one would do this much for charity” Rocky’s reply “ Bob Hope would”!
Rick: "Will anyone remember us in 80 years?" Yes the Robots will remember all of us.
Two members of my TH-cam All Stars Jazz Band. Would love to see Beato and Neely along with Aimee Nolte and George Fludas team up for a few tunes for us to enjoy!
So many insightful comments in here which I feel is a reflection of the conversation. Which, off the cuff, is more listenable than most preconceived videos/convos because the Quality of the two speaking is high. Their Quality in their life and effort to learn shines through to us and it inspires me. Should get off TH-cam and play guitar but not til this convo is over.
two greats in a single setting...holy mackerel!!!!!!!!!
Two of my faves. ❤🎉
