so they're like they call me back you sure you haven't heard him i said no i didn't hear him at all well how do you know i said i don't know we'll just have to see so to make a long story short erick came and everybody's good eyeballing me giving me the look and we play and we play the first tune and we play the first that and they're follow me out the door how did you know i did you know i said i  figured either it would make him a break if he made it cool if he didn't make it we won our time again simple as that so they laughed about it but that's how it all started and from then on eric and major pride and it's been in the making for a while we've actually been through a number of folks and i think we somewhat have it  in terms of our performances we have a few things lined up and i can't really say anything at the moment about that but they are in the making and there is a couple places that part of the band  so i know you know talked with you over over the last few months and over maybe the last year or so i know you guys have a strong emphasis on the youth so tell me what are you doing with the youth and what do you what do with us being so in touch with with the young folks that they get the idea that my basis danny and i have had in terms of you know connecting and it's got to be not  because a lot of times when the kids hear somebody that's really good they miss i mean we had the kalman one of the top of the tops and for a long time they missed it they didn't know they had no clue who it was of course i come under him so i knew him very well but i use him as an example because this is the kind of thing that needs to be you know i want them to to to be able to somehow or through my teaching are through carnes or are maybe franks are one of us be able to grasp that part of what has driven us so we have about five more minutes or so when we you know talk about the tables are turned what what do you mean what do you mean now the tables have turned we talked about that a little bit well what i simply mean is that the tables have turned simply that african americans are not taking a big part in this music now i mean i'll give you a prime example cool and again  no longer is exist anymore because the kids are certainly not not into it they're into a higher form of aked they think that that is an art form but it is to a certain certain degree you know that that we've had here on this soil we've allowed other folks to come over and make make just a very very very positive and a very very long lasting career for mean and really how inspiring and i was one of the people that would go and get them i'd go get he he would actually give me his vote wagon bus and i would go pick him up from the airport take him back and that's how beautiful he was so and how important music was and you know i mean a lot of people miss that but the things that did he was able to lay on me i car really really were great mentors for and help me help me out a lot you know so it's like it's a real responsibility and to make sure that the joe is not for go from gosh this is what i love is having a microphone pressed in my face i was saying please don't do this to me and here i am well eric and i were in a in a what kind of band was that years ago years ago and when they were when these guys were looking for a pianist for their band eric said well i know this girl she she was doing the hard bop thing she had a quintet let's call her so that's how i came on board so i have my own quintet and  and i write my own tunes and i fully appreciate what these guys have done written these beautiful tunes they're they're great to play over there are some funny keys which i appreciate i appreciate the funny keys and everybody for watching and as we say peace thank you very much
