so well is no no no originals what inspired you first to write original music i just had some to say i wanted i had words in my head and little melodies and they need to come out and your vocal list is the same thing about singing and barbra streisand and all those all those good girl singers when i did you have a voice as a little girl which is always something that was obvious that you were going to be a singer oh no no no i took some voice lessons when i got to seattle and learned how to sing so yeah who would you take lessons from that's curious because not everybody takes voice lessons or even thinks about taking voiceless it's it from a woman here in seattle named susan carr and she's on queen and she's fabulous as she is at a great job with you you c say it does it takes a lot to project your voice i mean some people think they can sing but when you actually get in front of a crowd with a microphone it's a whole another bag of worms it's a whole nother bag o worms and it's the first the first step is the hardest part like that fishing reference bag of blue and then leave in oz and we're going to bring back some of those leaving as long as we're going to bring back melody thirty one and closer and then i have a drink with the band original more original songs and these guys will like release drop can write some songs he's been your band for a few has an e or he's just been the scene for years but we're going on a year and four months together i think mary something somewhere around there yes you missed our anniversary in july i got you something that's in the mail now you guys do have a lot of fun that's part of the chemistry isn't it i mean to be able to make fun on a stage for people you've been doing this for how many years parabole twenty five how many bands you've been in maybe maybe eight yeah eight to between eight and twenty five well and it's true people know you as paul you know carries brother i got to say that but you have a musical family and you obviously show your stuff well thank you yes pollio kerry is my sister she's a bass player currently for two slim in the tail descent prior to that had a band that i was in and she's she's a great bass player a great vocalist and a great writer and a nice sister to have a good sister in the family i am where did have no idea how to play the blues so i showed up in the club and i cannot believe that three chords can do magic you gotta feel it though let's hear it for three chords ca people i could play piano because my mom plays in my gramma played but i tell him i only play three chords so they don't expect this much but you can really play you know the seventh's and the nines and all that stuff do you know the the actual theory and all that and that's got to be an interesting place to be as far as putting all that together in your head i mean you're improvising when you're playing blues and jazz and yet you're bringing together your roots in roots your blues roots your classical reading that's got to be interest that's amazing so we're talking about freedom of expression here in america lookout going to get that constitution out in a second ok can i preach lookout ok mr drummer so i'm going to give the drum very supportive what are you laughing at well you have a lot of fun and how are you playing with your bass player patrick buddy over there i played with with patrick in this band for a little over a year like mary was saying but we played together  now actually i wear the kill a lot smatter fact if i forget to wear it for a gig there's several people on facebook apparently who raise quite a stink about it so i figure they might be watching possibly do you have a history there's a story here and i'm scottish i mean but you know by heredity so i figure i've earned the right there's a kilt store in pioneer square if you ever gone in that i have some utility yes anything in say going to be able to but the other thing is that men can't sit and skirts right so this hole to the front of the  i see a bass instrument  bass here how long i've been playing bass way too long like thirty five year now no actually thirty years so i know when did you first realize it was your instrument of calling you know that's that's a really funny question because i actually i first started taking piano when i was five to twelve years of classical piano then started taken trombone lessons somewhere in there took another twelve years of trombone lessons played professionally as a horn player for years
