 okay here here we are welcome everyone greetings and welcome to mega life 21 live and I am here not for any serious political reasons or any serious agenda I am here to do a very light show and it's not about selling light bulbs either it's a light topic show which is about music and I am here with my old friend from San Francisco California a flamenco guitarist as well as macro biotic consultant Mr. Dan E. Mount a long time no see how are you doing sir I'm doing well James not bad at all and we are going to just play it's like a reality show you know I'm gonna play my African jamby drum to his guitar okay whenever you're ready just play away and I'll play play something I'll just play something kind of a synchronized four four time what does that mean yeah instrumentals this drum is considering it's just mahogany wood and goat skin no it's a jamby yeah like in other words here's the bass and it almost sounds material you know can you see me let me just take a peek over at the screen oh I see you're you drifted over more well yeah there you go yeah you're there you're there you got like a Frank's apple look about you with the hair and the mustache and the goatee yeah what you know I never knew what a soul patch was until I saw it online it's that clump of hair under your lip soul patch yeah you know like this you know like Zappa didn't have to go tea sometimes I let it grow with it when I'm lazy I let it grow you look good with a goatee man I could do it I could do it I just have I have salt and pepper whiskers and you know I'm just trying to minimize my my age so you see you dye your hair no no now it's now I just let it go salt and pepper because I was told you know some females actually like the older man look I don't know what they see in it but they like I guess mr. Dos Ecke's doesn't care about his gray hair either stay there mr. Dos Ecke's the Spanish guy in the commercial all that guy yeah stay thirsty stay thirsty my friends so that that's a collector's item you're handling right there this one this one's had a lot of damage done to it so it's not really what's a lot of money and somebody somebody took the French polish off it and lacquered it and it's been broken it's got big places on the side where it fell off the shelf and broke and it's got to get some more repair to get by but you know the most I can probably get this guitar if I sold it is the way it is right oh based on based on it's it's vintage only that not on its condition because its condition is not very good yeah what I was a guy I was just playing for fun James I don't really play I play every once in a while play some little yeah or something but I don't really play professionally for you know for like I have gigs lined up or anything now I'm just you know I'm just a blue collar guy yeah but you don't have you you don't have an agent to promote you to book you I don't have enough I mean I can go out and play open mics and stuff but I don't have enough material to really play professional I'm not a professional musician that way I don't have a lot of material to go out and play you know yeah don't tell the public that you know we're going but I just huh I just I just thought we were having fun school around now we're not fooling around we're we're we're worldwide right now we're on the air brother livestream I'm just more of a guy who plays for fun practice together we can't just we just can't get cold and start playing you know like you know I mean yeah but that takes that takes too much that takes too much time let's let's let's just have fun and see where where it leads us I'm trying to play for Flamenco dancers or anything I'll make believe there's a flamenco dancer in front of you no dances in front of you know I'm humble too but I love this font like in the stratosphere and the Andromeda galaxy is watching us don't I mean I'm humble but don't be that humble on the air on YouTube right now you sound great now yeah but it just came up on the screen I said this connection was too slow how come I hear you perfectly don't don't pay attention to what the websites tell you sometimes they're full of shit they got all those outsourced IT people in third world countries it's like a reality show anyway I play whatever you want man woman by Santana by me you know black magic woman some things that people don't do you know I like how like old music a lot you ever listen to what old jazz and blues from like the 19 like like jazz Dixieland type jazz from the 1920s your house and all kinds of stuff sometimes we can do a more serious thing but you need to want you know the best thing to do James if you get some get some like jiffy kings or some music like that you know I mean you and get it in practice and play along with it practice to some stuff so you get the rhythm you know yeah yeah yeah yeah place with the guitar to picture on the screen the picture I see of the screen there's a picture of you just on the screen oh that that am I wearing some kind of a camouflage shirt that's right oh that was taken not long ago that was taken a few weeks ago few weeks ago I say go on YouTube and listen to some old Lonnie Johnson Ronnie Johnson Lonnie Johnson Lonnie L.O.N.N.I.E. not Robert Johnson Lonnie Johnson okay everybody knows the Robert Johnson was right so that basically Robert Johnson copied from Lonnie Johnson and Lonnie Johnson lived you know he lived the 70s something I think that he was the guy who started playing chords and picking out the melody he's the first guy to ever do that on the guitar all his eyes BB came all those guys basically copied him he was the guy he was the originator all that but he's not he's not so well known like BB and all these other guys are you know they didn't give any credit listen folks you just heard it the debut of Chinese guitar he just blues the Chinese guitar blues at home from Danny mouth and sperm it I'm sorry spurred a moment he just wrote it come on show and make up a song right on the spot how's that that is incredible talent now you know something that another good thing about the Chinese guitar is that because it's so cheap you were you're you could just go hog wild on it and not worry about you know wearing out or damaging an expensive instrument an American may expect and I mean what actually be let me interrupt you there for a second actually pardon me but they're very good guitars and you can't that kind of guitar in America would cost you well over two thousand dollars wow now Chinese the Chinese are duplicating martins you know they take martins and they copy them and they sell them for less than half a price wow incredible now the Chinese make violence to yeah they make everything now oh my god so they make violins they make cellos and they're getting very good at what about brass instruments they're trumpets are behind us let me tell you they make trumpets to money that the Chinese first remember first it was the Japanese and everybody said then you know this company talk of meaning Japanese company meeting no I don't know about talk of meaning talk of meaning is made beautiful guitar you know and then and then you know then there was of course there was always yamaha making pianos right some of these pianos in the world they say and you know good solid pianos that are really well made you know I should hope the solid people man they learned very fast how to do things don't you know you know what they were made that they were minting money we were still running around in caves so let me tell you something the buffet in my town is is run by Chinese and and and they could they have Italian food in this buffet Dan that's just like my grandmother made so I there's the famous let me tell you that when you reiterate on that one because there's a famous Italian restaurant San Francisco listen it's owned by it's owned by an Italian family it's been in their family for years it's called tamasos yeah and the cooks that they've had there they had there for many years and their Chinese cooks you know why because they work they were thinking that food and food you'd swear it was cooked by some old you know Italian mama because they work cheap that's why that all the pizzerias here have immigrants from you know what Central America whatever these people work cheap I mean I'm sure you could teach anybody with desire that has a desire to do just about anything you could teach anyone it doesn't it doesn't have to be you know except I want I do want Asians to make my sushi I don't want Italians making my sushi you want to hear more of that Chinese takeout I'm sorry Chinese guitar blues I tell you I really dig that song this is your this is the debut and it tells the story that's very true not not just about musical instruments and guitars it has to do with manufacturing in general you know it has a deep meaning to it my sister died okay no I haven't seen a scene or spoke to you in many moons many moons ago last May oh so we haven't talked out long last May wow the last show we did the music show but good as this one we did a music oriented show but it wasn't as good as this one things got higher something like that came up with that song on the top of your head what do you call the list of phone people on these people I get a lot of people contacting me that I are and sometimes I get weirdos and spammers and scammers and you know yeah they're from Ghana those computer companies that try to call you they try to they want to try to fix your computer there's nothing wrong with it that's bullshit what I really want to do this you're breaking up now it's a damn San Francisco Internet connection well I have for those of you that have out there that have a windows operating system I would use C cleaner it's free and and it's just it does the same thing as all these other programs there's trying to sell you know they advertise if your computer's running slow it may be this he may be that get C cleaner what they call C cleaner it's free I use all free software I just I take the ones that are the best and the most recommended I don't pay for any of it I mean I've heard of the sound as good as it has to be I noticed that when the atmosphere is drier this drum plays much better than when it's humid well that's that's one thing about that's one thing about your cars you have to be really careful of going from where there's a little bit of some some humidity to a really dry place yeah because the tires can actually just crack wood guitars I'm not talking about of course instruction is just so much more it's really much harder to get a really good sound out of the strings of a classical guitar because they're nylon you know then it is a steel string steel strings right but on there being steel you know it's easier to build a guitar that sounds good with steel strings but it's much harder to build a really beautiful classical guitar that sounds good you know anyway there's my well you got a guest coming over you have a guest coming over what do you have a guest oh okay okay okay okay next time we'll jam off the air we'll play okay bye bye thank you okay it was been great thank you bye
