THIS THAT & THE OTHER RADIO SHOW WITH TROY PATRICK FARRELL THIS THAT & THE OTHER RADIO SHOW WITH TROY PATRICK FARRELL

AFTER 2.5 YEARS OF REQUESTING HIS HONORABLE PRESENCE- Judge J Middleton agreed to come on my show.  When the pandemic hit, many courts went to "Zoom' style hearings and Judge Middleton secured a channel and his town/court system secured "Zoom Licenses" not in anticipation for the shutdown, but ready to go, nonetheless.  After some great (or terrible) viral cases, Middleton became a Rock Star Judge.  My thoughts are he was/is Fair and Firm.  The guy you respect but don't want to be in front of.  His court cases have been seen by A&E Court Cam and many other shows due to the sporadic events that can and will happen during a court case.  I fell in love with him and his laid-back demeanor, his classic rock vibe as he sang songs while he launched his stream.  This is the first of NONE- with respect to interviews and I feel we hit some very common questions and answers that perhaps we're all thinking during many of these cases.  We also hit on Sov Cits and much more.
Enjoy this exclusive interview with the almighty Judge Jeffery C Middleton

COMEDIAN CRAIG GASS JOINS US FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THIS THAT AND THE OTHER FROM PORTLAND TALKING IMPRESSIONS, ROASTS, ACTING ON KING OF QUEENS AND A VERY TASTEFULLY GRAPHIC STORY ABOUT AND "ORAL SEX" SCENE WITH CYNTHIA NIXON OF SEX AND THE CITY.

DISCUSSING THE "BIG FINISH" TOUR BY MR BIG.

Eric goes on to discuss how MATT STARR while did "a fine job for us", there was "a lot of finesse" missing in his approach.
They wanted someone to play "exactly like Pat".

"There's no bad blood between Matt Starr and Mr. Big".


When asked about the new blood in the band that is filling the void of an absent Pat Torpey (who passed away Feb of 2018 from complications of Parkinson's Disease), and whether Mr. Big will record a new album, Eric Martin goes on to say:  "We're doing it now, we're working on it now, Paul Gilbert and I have been writing and recording everything and so far 10-13 songs, Billy Sheehan has one and (new drummer) Nick (D'Virgilio) has 4 songs that are pretty good, Hell Yeah, Hells to the Yeah".




Eric goes on to say he'd like to do a duet with a female artist and goes on to name Joss Stone as well as John Mayer as another artist to collaborate with.

GUEST:  MARCUS NAND
(GUITARIST OF MIKE TRAMP’S “SONGS OF WHITE LION” ALBUM/SPRING TOUR”)


NOTABLE
COMMENTS & TIME STAMPS:
00:00 – 05:30         SHOW INTRO,
TINA TURNER RIP, + WITH GUEST BACKGROUND
05:30  - 08:00          AUDIO
SAMPLE OF COMPARING WHITE LION’S “WAIT” GUITAR SOLO BY VITO BRATTA AND THE
RE-RECORD BY MARCUS NAND ON “SONGS OF WHITE LION”
10:45                      MARCUS NAND JOINS THE SHOW

11:30                      WE DISCUSS HOW THE TOUR
WAS AN ACOUSTIC TOUR AND NOT A “FULL BAND” SOUND DUO TOUR
12:35                      MARCUS DISCUSSES WHY A
FULL BAND WAS NOT POSSIBLE THIS RUN
HOWEVER, WHILE IT’S A “FULL BAND FEEL” YET STILL INCLUDES THE STORIES.
WE WEREN’T IN A POSITION TO TAKE A RHYTHM SECTION AT THIS TIME, (BUT THE TRACKS)
ALLOW US TO HAVE MORE OF A FULL BAND FEEL”

14:45                      NAND SPEAKS ABOUT HIS
HISTORY AS A FLEMENCO GUITARIST PLAYING WITH THE LIKES OF STEVE STEVENS, ETC
AND HOW HE MORPHED HIS style AND EXPERIENCE into that of a vito
bratto STYLE AND PAY TRIBUTE TO THE SOLOS.

‘YOU SORT OF HAVE TO PUT
YOURSELF IN THE FRAME OF MIND OF SERVING THE MUSIC. IT'S SORT OF SACRED GROUND,
VITO BRATTA IS A VERY, VERY HIGHLY RESPECTED GUITAR PLAYER, WHAT HE (BRATTA) DID
AT THAT TIME WITH THOSE SONGS, AND AS A SONGWRITER, THERE WAS NO REASON FOR ME
TO TRY DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT”


THE keys are
different, the tempos are different.
WE TRIED TO STAY TRUE, I TRIED TO STAY TRUE TO THE SONGS, I COMPARE IT RECITING
TO A CLASSIC POEM, YOU CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT NARRATOR (VOICE) BUT THE WORDS HAVE
TO BE THE WORDS.  THAT WAS THE INTENTION THAT
WAS CREATED IN THE FIRST PLACE.


I TRY
TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN WAS THEN AND WHAT (IS) NOW, IT WAS ON ME TO FIND WAYS
THESE SONGS WOULD EXIST IN THESE NEW KEYS (ABOUT A FOURTH DOWN)


MIKE’S
VOICE HAS MATURED OVER THE YEARS.


 


17:20            WE DISCUSS THE “WAIT” SOLO AND
HOW IMPORTANT AS THE SOLO WAS AS WELL AS THE PERFORMANCE BY MARCUS NAND LIVE.






18:30            MARCUS DISCUSSES HIS APPROACH TO
PERFORMING THE “WAIT” SOLO
HE ALSO NOTES: “IT’S
NERVE RACKING” “I THINK PEOPLE APPLAUD BECAUSE IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE
THEY’VE HEARD THAT LIVE”
PLUS “THE LYRICS AND STYLE (OF THE SONGS) HAS “HIT THEM IN THE HEART”




21:00            WE ASK THE QUESTION IF VITO
BRATTA HAS HEARD THE ALBUM AND HAS MARCUS HAD ANY CONNECTION WITH VITO BRATTA
AND WOULD THERE BE ANY PUSH BACK (LIKE IN THE PAST) FOR DOING A “SONGS OF WHITE
LION”


WE DISCUSS SOME OF THE TENSION WITH VITO AND MIKE W/
PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF WHITE LION.


21:40            WE ARE IN TOUCH, AND IT’S PRETTY
ASTONISHING TO ME, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I’M A MASSIVE MASSIVE FAN, I HAVE SO
MUCH RESPECT FOR WHAT HE DID & HIS CONTRIBUTION TO GUITAR IS JUST
PHENOMENAL.


HE’S VERY VERY SUPPORTIVE;
HE LIKES WHAT WE’RE DOING, I WAS VERY NERVOUS ABOUT THAT INITIALLY, HE WROTE AN
EMAIL TO TRAMP, TRAMP PUT US INTO CONTACT AND WE’VE BEEN COMMUNICATING THE
LAST FEW WEEKS AND DEVOLOPING A VERY COOL FRIENDSHIP.


IT’S PRETTY SURREAL TO COME HOME FROM
A SHOW AND WRITE TO VITO AND “YOUR NAME WAS MENTIONED SO MANY TIMES, AND ITS
EVIDENT HOW MUCH PEOPLE LOVE YOU AND ADMIRE YOU”, SO IT’S NOTHING BUT SUPPORT
FROM VITO, IT’S REALLY GREAT.


IT’S SURREAL IN A WAY.

23:30            WE DISCUSS IF HIS FLEMENCO
BACKGROUND HELPS HIS APPROACH TO THE VITO BRATTA SOLOS (TWO HANDED APPROACH),
DOES THAT GIVE MARCUS AND ADVANTAGE?

“THAT’S A REALLY
INTERESTING POINT, YOU MIGHT BE ONTO SOMETHING THERE! IT’S NOT JUST A PIC IN
YOUR HAND, THE FINGERS ARE SORT OF INDEPENDENT THINGS”.

27:00            WE CLARIFY HIS PARTICIPATION WITH
