I wanted one 42:08.940 --> 42:17.700 Okay, my brother was a big musical influence on me and he bought me my first guitar Sears Roebuck 42:21.380 --> 42:24.580 No, it's a harmony yeah the Sears Silver Tone harmony 42:26.340 --> 42:29.100 1295 or something, you know, they're keepers man. They're keepers 42:29.100 --> 42:34.280 He bought me that and that's what got me started. So change your life, huh? Pretty much 42:34.820 --> 42:37.460 Big brother change your life. It's a big brother. Yes 42:37.980 --> 42:42.800 You also talked about a couple of record albums that changed your life the Bloomfield Cooper LP 42:43.340 --> 42:44.860 the double life 42:44.860 --> 42:48.440 Yeah, that was a big one. I wore a couple of those out 42:48.940 --> 42:52.220 Did that did Bloomfield influence your guitar player? I 42:53.820 --> 42:55.820 I don't know 42:55.820 --> 42:58.860 you know, I was so into fusion and jazz at the time that I 43:01.020 --> 43:08.060 Wasn't well, I never listened to guitar players anyway to learn from I early on Led Zeppelin all the typical stuff but 43:08.940 --> 43:10.940 Yeah, exactly 43:11.140 --> 43:13.140 later on it was 43:14.060 --> 43:15.900 Mostly drummers 43:15.900 --> 43:17.900 piano players and trumpet players 43:17.900 --> 43:22.420 Which I quit playing trumpet, but that's what I listened to mostly. So do you play more than guitar? 43:22.980 --> 43:24.980 I'm sorry. Do you play more than a guitar? 43:24.980 --> 43:31.060 Oh drums and bass and just a tiny bit of keyboards play everything don't you? 43:33.340 --> 43:35.340 We hate people like you just 43:36.300 --> 43:39.580 So you're a musical mongrel as you describe yourself. Yeah 43:40.300 --> 43:43.140 Many styles many styles many instruments 43:43.860 --> 43:47.480 You do this full-time you guys all you guys do full-time, huh? 43:48.460 --> 43:50.460 So what's with you Dean?

Am I right? 43:57.660 --> 43:59.660 Can I hear you say yeah 43:59.780 --> 44:06.820 Yeah, I knew you were there pure food and drug act with Harvey Mandel and Don sugarcane Harris 44:06.820 --> 44:08.820 I remember that 44:08.820 --> 44:13.220 For me, okay, you're not old enough. I was recorded right here in Seattle 44:13.220 --> 44:18.580 Okay, Smith or something no, I was at a tavern a 44:19.860 --> 44:25.340 45th right off 45th and I find the blue moon had to be the blue moon or the rainbow the fabulous 44:25.340 --> 44:31.460 Right. It might have been the rainbow. That had to be the fabulous rainbow tavern my soul's on fire. That that was a big one 44:31.460 --> 44:33.620 For me, it was this it was the fabulous 44:34.500 --> 44:37.940 Okay, so let's talk about we talked about gear. What about your songs? 44:37.940 --> 44:41.740 You have a couple of originals you started with the silver spoon song 44:41.740 --> 44:43.980 Mm-hmm. That's personal, isn't it? 44:45.180 --> 44:47.180 Could be I'm not going there 44:49.060 --> 44:54.500 Hanging on is useless. Most of it's most of all it's painful. That's a true 44:55.340 --> 45:00.460 Yeah, you got some truth in there. That was that was all about that was written about two years ago in Vegas 45:01.100 --> 45:06.380 After some stuff happened. Yeah, you spent some time in Vegas my payback. That was my payback 45:08.220 --> 45:09.940 Come backs up 45:09.940 --> 45:14.740 So, you know, I don't I don't care you you don't care what I don't carry a grudge 45:15.300 --> 45:16.820 Okay 45:16.820 --> 45:19.540 39 days that's another original. No 45:20.860 --> 45:22.860 Okay, who wrote that one? I 45:23.020 --> 45:25.240 Don't remember. Oh, I busted him 45:26.060 --> 45:31.860 Mike somebody. Okay. I loved your arrangement of crossroads. Tell me how you got to that 45:33.460 --> 45:38.580 Just through about four or five six different arrangements of it. We just actually 45:38.580 --> 45:42.780 at rehearsal we came up with the drum group Dave did and 45:44.460 --> 45:46.780 You know, he starts with the drummer doesn't Dave 45:52.900 --> 45:55.540 I'm just saying without me. It's just folk music 45:58.220 --> 46:04.500 Dave Jenny now Dave he's sitting here without your shoes on do you always play naked? No ankle down 46:04.500 --> 46:09.900 And and why was there someone who taught you that or something? It's uh, just I grew up in Texas 46:09.900 --> 46:12.620 It's hot and that's just one less piece of clothing 46:16.220 --> 46:17.220 Oh 46:17.220 --> 46:22.020 There's so many more questions I could dig into from that. Wait, are you uh, are you going to the IBC finals? 46:22.020 --> 46:24.020 Is that what I heard? 46:24.020 --> 46:28.420 We have advanced to the WBS finals. Yeah, it's the homish 46:28.420 --> 46:34.700 Yeah, it's the homish. So we're going up there. Yeah, so you made the first cut as it were for the International Blues Challenge 46:35.740 --> 46:39.780 Everybody trying to go to Memphis these days and you guys got a good chance with this band 46:40.500 --> 46:43.780 Big show coming up on August 19th in Snohomish 46:44.620 --> 46:46.620 James King 46:47.940 --> 46:49.940 And the Southsiders 46:49.980 --> 46:53.700 Raphael's gonna be there. So so how'd you get into playing the bass? 46:53.700 --> 47:00.780 I just grew up in a musical family and that was the the chair that needed to be filled. So 47:01.260 --> 47:08.020 Yeah, but I kind of learned by watching played in church and there was a b3 in front of me 47:08.540 --> 47:14.460 And I'd taken piano lessons when I was six years old. So the man said watch my feet 47:14.940 --> 47:21.420 So I'd watched his plate keys with his feet and I knew the notes. So that's how I learned the notes on the bass 47:21.420 --> 47:26.260 The one four five four came out right in the feet there. I can relate to that 47:26.260 --> 47:30.700 I grew up with a mom doing organ a church and the same thing. I was down there at her feet 47:31.300 --> 47:37.660 Totally know that story firsthand. So how old were you then? Oh, I was probably early teens and 47:38.260 --> 47:43.740 Then I played drums in high school went to college and and then here I am 47:44.140 --> 47:49.140 So well now when did you get into this professionally? When did you know you had to do it professionally? 47:49.140 --> 47:55.780 I'm an electrician by trade. So that's always treated me. You know, I've always had that but 47:57.260 --> 48:03.580 Played, you know from 20 years old on I was pretty busy and then when I moved up in this area 48:03.580 --> 48:08.180 Yeah, been very busy the last 15 years or so in this area. Yeah 48:09.580 --> 48:13.100 You also sing Steve as well as play the keyboards and you have two 48:13.900 --> 48:16.540 Nords over there. Yeah, two nords 48:16.540 --> 48:21.700 I've seen a Nord before but never have I seen someone with two nords. This is the brand of keyboard 48:21.700 --> 48:26.700 I'm talking about these are great. They sound like a Hammond organ and tell me about your your gear there 48:26.700 --> 48:30.100 Yeah, they really do an outstanding job. They're a Swedish company 48:30.820 --> 48:34.980 The bottom keyboard just does Hammond be three and in other organs 48:34.980 --> 48:40.580 It does part visa the cheesy Italian organs from the 60s and it also does a really good pipe organ 48:40.580 --> 48:42.700 but mainly be three is what people use them for and 48:42.700 --> 48:45.940 You know the top keyboard does be three as well 48:45.940 --> 48:51.740 but you have weighted keys for the piano and you can't play the b3 on the piano because 48:51.980 --> 48:55.820 You have to do all these smears and these run-ups and it's just a whole nother 48:56.740 --> 49:00.980 Action, so that's that's why I drive around so much gear to to be more authentic 49:01.380 --> 49:07.820 Well, you do this full-time what got you into the keyboards, you know, it's funny listening to Dean's story 49:07.820 --> 49:11.780 I've never really talked to him about that, but it's really similar my mom played 49:11.780 --> 49:16.620 Just played by ear. We always had a piano in the house, you know five or six 49:16.620 --> 49:19.620 I just you know picked it up kind of had a good ear for it. Wow 49:20.300 --> 49:25.820 Never really took lessons. I just kind of always you know learned off records and back in the old days 49:25.820 --> 49:32.060 You could check out big records from the library, you know, and I check those out and learn like, you know 49:32.060 --> 49:34.060 Classical songs or whatever I could find 49:34.060 --> 49:41.460 Mm-hmm way to go. Well, you got the chops never a lesson. I'm so sorry. Oh 49:42.900 --> 49:47.640 That's right, and we both grew up in Vancouver, Washington both of you two never met until up here 49:47.640 --> 49:49.640 But and you didn't know that about oh 49:50.580 --> 49:53.260 What a ten-minute interview will do? That's right 49:55.140 --> 49:59.140 Steve Thorpe on the keyboards I could ask you some more questions, but we're running out of time here 49:59.140 --> 50:01.540 Dave jetty on the drums. I love you man 50:01.540 --> 50:04.700 Scott Simmons on the bass you can find 50:05.220 --> 50:08.580 Dave and Steve in the Jonathan Harris band 50:08.580 --> 50:13.020 No, I'm sorry Dave and Scott in the Jonathan Harris country band 50:13.020 --> 50:16.500 But this is the Dean Rikert band Dean Rikert on guitar 50:16.500 --> 50:32.780 Guitar let's go.
