down there because i grew up seeing music at the back and there was a lady there that started taking some pictures and she was trying to boost my confidence and i remember one time this terrorist seville she had a little recording and i'm like who is that guy and she said that's rick peoples and i was like damn and when you came down and you were at my jam the other night you sound great man i love your singing how did you first become inspired by music  i came up in gospel life and church you know and i went by to tell you a real story about the blues that i didn't recognize until i started teaching news in the schools might me years later when i was about ten or eleven years old my father and i had and it took me many many years i mean even after coming to colorado before i realized that that is i was a true story that actually happened and it was interesting that i ended up singing blues music i still love gospel i still do gospel but i love it supposed to do is now ok we have we have a lot of time like we're in a rush to jump to anything like you know you have a story and you know i can hear it when you be saying and i hear the things that are behind that you know and maybe i hear it different than someone else but really i don't but but you have a history in a story you know and sometimes when we talk about stuff sometimes there's something in that you know what i mean then sometimes people can get something from you know and you obviously been through something in your life and you know i'm not trying to make anybody self conscious or not them but it's good to spend some time talking and see if we can get to the the real story of the person you know the story of the music because sometimes there's something in there you know and i and it's my job to try to find that you know what i mean well the title of your show pretty much tells a story was the title of your liver it stand for roots or it's all roots all forms of club in the places in five points you know we have a rich history of music that a lot of people nowadays you know a lot of young people they don't know what this town is really about you know and that music has haunted me and drawn me down to the street corner till i can't do it no more but what i'm saying is people like charles burrell you know the jackie princeton of music the first african american man to get a symphony contract and like so many famous people saying in played an back in all them clubs in five points and there's so much history and you know i think a lot of people should know about that you know the history of the music because we can't know where we're going unless we know where we've been and a lot of people they think you know this town is about dance music or it's about this or it's about that and the other thing and those things are great but the real roots of the music in our city you know some of us know what it's really about you know and it's very important to me i'm not i'm no spring chicken no more i think it's important to keep the music alive in like when i was a little kid when i was a little kid i remember playing the clarinet and we had a cool teacher it our elementary school mr phillips and he brought this great jazz trombone player in there one time we were all watching him and i had good band teachers and i'm thankful for that education and for the people i came up seen like sammy mayfield in ed winfield and billy  and frank terry a lot of people don't know frank terry but he took sammy mayfield on the road when sammy was just a little kid and to me sammy mayfield they were the old guys but you know we're really lucky to have that music here in this town and we're very lucky to have people like you rex really man i mean i think so much of you you know i make a living from playing music and stuff but i wish i could sing more like you man i admire what you do and stuff and i'm not trying to talk too much but we have a lot of time you know we still got more minutes when i you mentioned a lot of the greats because coming up in colorado i came in from oklahoma city and eight and eighty six and when i came up last i was twelve of them talked about that  night i came up and only way for me to get out into the music world was i started doing karaoke and i was doing all the karaoke thing i was on the circuit and i was loving it i want a lot of contest and and people got a little frustrated because i want to lot of contest and it we've got a lot of great i mean i go all the way back to brendon's and i remember i used to play out in front of there on the street when i was a kid i played out there and i was on the stage with kenny neil shirt on down at brandon's just before they closed the old i got that name honestly unveiling i was asking me like that he told me i was an honorary cocky you know what i've gone through their idea that he's got stories you've got to get him going and misty here and pro we need to use this don't you know i don't know if we're trying to do with the x factor is we try to do the real music sure we try to bring back the music that remind you you know that makes the people who like to dance and dance the people who shout shout and those of us reminisce everybody else reminisces about the time when we used to go past my son yeah that's the kind of music that i want to do real real music that comes from the heart and that goes back to inspirational and blues and that's what we do i dig and our lives are all involved with it every scar every every every marriage every divorce every last dog you know and it's all in there man just doing a version of howling wolf the version that he just played there as a howling appreciate you being here and starting this thing and you look sharp you get to look you know the right to restore and you got the right bend today hey well let's hear some music from breaks people
