everybody who has spent any amount of

9
00:01:55,020 --> 00:01:56,520
time in downtown Cleveland has been

10
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,399
entertained primarily by one guy

11
00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:02,720
who people call the sax man

12
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,340
he's kind of he's kind of part of the

13
00:02:05,340 --> 00:02:06,960
experience you can come down the

14
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,520
Playhouse Square you see the theaters

15
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,039
you see the sax man he's a cultural icon

16
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:12,660
of Cleveland you know what I just know

17
00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:13,920
that he's out there and he plays

18
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:15,599
anything you want him to play I had to

19
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:17,940
play Flintstones theme one time oh I've

20
00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:20,280
been seeing him for years I've been

21
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,260
single for a minute but it's got to be a

22
00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:23,940
good 10 15 years that I've been saying

23
00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:26,160
that he's just the fixtures always been

24
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,080
around I just consider him a part of

25
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,640
Cleveland no matter what I'm doing if

26
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:32,640
I'm coming home if you hear him if doing

27
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:34,020
laundry in the middle of the day you

28
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:35,580
hear them you know how you listen to

29
00:02:35,580 --> 00:02:38,459
Jazz by yourself and then you be like

30
00:02:38,459 --> 00:02:40,980
you know I wanna want to make love off

31
00:02:40,980 --> 00:02:43,099
of it

32
00:02:43,099 --> 00:02:45,480
is there any typical kind of weather you

33
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,459
see him out in he's out here like the

34
00:02:47,459 --> 00:02:49,200
postal service now it's now getting

35
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,640
close to way below freezing he's out I'm

36
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:55,260
surprised he not out today it's a nice

37
00:02:55,260 --> 00:02:57,120
day in fact a few times he's not been

38
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,500
around and you kind of are like wait

39
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:00,120
where's the where's the saxophone guy

40
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,920
like you know it's

41
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,800
something's missing we actually had uh

42
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,340
an event in the Rotunda of City Hall and

43
00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:10,560
invited him as part of the entertainment

44
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,400
so uh here it's uh he just it fits it

45
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,319
fits it's it's a perfect fit well the

46
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:18,300
sax man is as iconic as our Terminal

47
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:21,000
Tower as our Cleveland Orchestra and I

48
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,860
think that a lot of people you know have

49
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:25,019
have grown up with him and a lot of dads

50
00:03:25,019 --> 00:03:26,220
have told their kids when they were with

51
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:28,319
their Dads they heard him and moms have

52
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:29,819
told their kids you know I remember when

53
00:03:29,819 --> 00:03:31,560
he used to play on this corner and you

54
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,580
know I think he's just one of those

55
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:34,140
people that's really keeping the time of

56
00:03:34,140 --> 00:03:35,660
the life of the city of Cleveland

57
00:03:35,660 --> 00:03:42,199
[Music]

58
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:45,000
two years ago we came to see Celtic

59
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,980
Thunder that's one of Tyler's favorite

60
00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:48,900
bands to see and I bought him a little

61
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:51,420
Irish drum during the show and when we

62
00:03:51,420 --> 00:03:53,640
had come outside he stopped the song

63
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,739
that he was playing so that he could

64
00:03:55,739 --> 00:03:59,420
play Little Drummer Boy for Tyler

65
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,860
since that night there's been so many

66
00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:06,540
people that we showed the video to and

67
00:04:06,540 --> 00:04:08,280
they know who he is they don't know his

68
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,200
name but they know him and they know

69
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,000
that he just makes everybody happy

70
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,920
they'd say he's you know a Cleveland

71
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,079
fixture but I I don't really know

72
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:17,940
anything about him I don't even know the

73
00:04:17,940 --> 00:04:20,100
sax man's name nobody does I really

74
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:21,600
don't know much about him except for

75
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,400
he's got a great talent all I know is he

76
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,780
hangs out on the street and he plays

77
00:04:24,780 --> 00:04:26,880
that's about it most people think that

78
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,280
he's homeless and just on the street

79
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,340
every day but it just seems like one of

80
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:33,660
those people that probably just didn't

81
00:04:33,660 --> 00:04:38,060
get a break so I see him

82
00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:41,100
but I don't know anything about his

83
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:42,960
history or anything

84
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,680
so it's kind of a mystery

85
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,809
[Music]

86
00:04:51,780 --> 00:04:53,880
it was winter

87
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,820
cold light snow one of those wet

88
00:04:56,820 --> 00:05:00,180
Cleveland nights I'm walking near

89
00:05:00,180 --> 00:05:01,680
Playhouse Square

90
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,180
you're a sound

91
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:05,580
somebody playing a saxophone there's

92
00:05:05,580 --> 00:05:08,160
nobody on the street no cars waiting no

93
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,400
limos which came up later just this lone

94
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,440
guy standing in the doorway of the

95
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,000
Palace Theater

96
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,979
and it was just intriguing you hear the

97
00:05:16,979 --> 00:05:18,660
sound you see the sky it looks like a

98
00:05:18,660 --> 00:05:20,160
bad old movie

99
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,580
[Music]

100
00:05:23,580 --> 00:05:26,660
but what intrigued me was his appearance

101
00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:29,039
extremely clean cut

102
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:33,120
theatrical close a red beret you name it

103
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,620
he looked like somebody who was getting

104
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:36,419
on the stage or getting off the stage

105
00:05:36,419 --> 00:05:38,400
but definitely a theatrical kind of

106
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,560
person and I figured it was a nut

107
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,020
but I came back until I found what times

108
00:05:43,020 --> 00:05:44,400
he might be there and began

109
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,840
photographing him because he was

110
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,060
visually very interesting and that was

111
00:05:48,060 --> 00:05:50,360
when we first started actually talking

112
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,280
I have traveled to cities where buskers

113
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,639
are common Seattle San Francisco New

114
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:00,000
York City Cleveland has never had a

115
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,419
continuous street musician this is a guy

116
00:06:03,419 --> 00:06:07,199
who from around 1994 had never stopped

117
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:09,360
playing on the streets that was

118
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,660
interesting that was very different

119
00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:16,139
one of the things I discovered in just

120
00:06:16,139 --> 00:06:17,880
walking with him talking with him

121
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,800
standing the side photographing making

122
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,199
notes whatever it might have been was

123
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:24,539
that he feels very comfortable with

124
00:06:24,539 --> 00:06:27,900
anyone who waves to him they know him he

125
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:28,979
knows this

126
00:06:28,979 --> 00:06:32,639
and I said if I asked him your name

127
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:34,680
what would they tell me

128
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,319
look I'm the sex man

129
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:39,539
but they didn't know and he didn't

130
00:06:39,539 --> 00:06:41,460
realize they didn't know Ethan that his

131
00:06:41,460 --> 00:06:43,919
name was Maurice Reedus Jr they knew

132
00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:45,720
nothing about his family

133
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,360
uh he was just this guy who I think

134
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,100
magically appeared and magically

135
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:51,380
disappeared in the streets of Cleveland

it flashes back into my ear and then I

141
00:07:33,660 --> 00:07:35,580
really get into the spirit of the music

142
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:37,259
type of sound you can't get in the

143
00:07:37,259 --> 00:07:38,580

144
00:07:38,580 --> 00:07:40,500
I've been playing for the people when I

145
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:41,340
do it

146
00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:43,080
it's just I can sense that some people

147
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,720
are hearing me you know even though they

148
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,039
don't say anything then some people come

149
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:49,680
to me and look for me

150
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,180
and say well I heard you playing but

151
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:53,460
ain't nobody was that you know it seems

152
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:54,860
like it's coming from another Direction

153
00:07:54,860 --> 00:07:57,360

154
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,580
on the other side of the building plan

155
00:07:59,580 --> 00:08:02,160
but it's I really like the sound it's a

156
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,800
real cool sound real relaxing sound too

376
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:16,260
like I was

377
00:19:16,260 --> 00:19:18,660
like nobody in the face but me I'm just

378
00:19:18,660 --> 00:19:20,220
looking at all these people

379
00:19:20,220 --> 00:19:22,320
you know I was like the star

380
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,660
it's a man

381
00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:27,780
he is just too talented and I think

382
00:19:27,780 --> 00:19:30,780
being around the right people and having

383
00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:33,179
like even a manager or whatever to find

384
00:19:33,179 --> 00:19:35,160
the right groups or to you know the

385
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,780
entertainment that he could have done

386
00:19:36,780 --> 00:19:39,539
with that it it would have been fine it

387
00:19:39,539 --> 00:19:41,160
would have been enough well enough to

388
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,840
have a living I mean he no he may not

389
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,120
have been rich but you know enough to

390
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,280
have a decent living and not to have to

391
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,140
depend on the street and that's my main

392
00:19:49,140 --> 00:19:52,620
thing you can't depend on that I want to

393
00:19:52,620 --> 00:19:54,360

394
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,460

554
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,480

a lot more doors of opportunity they've

612
00:29:42,179 --> 00:29:45,059
been to at that point the peak of what

613
00:29:45,059 --> 00:29:48,000
you could obtain as a new group and so

614
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,340
they had to put together a band one of

615
00:29:50,340 --> 00:29:52,980
the guys who was already working with

616
00:29:52,980 --> 00:29:55,440
him was in a summer school program with

617
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,000
Maurice

618
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,580
I was going to going to summer school at

00:29:59,580 --> 00:30:01,799
uh Terry Stubbs which he stayed right

620
00:30:01,799 --> 00:30:03,659

would kind of put a band together I went

625
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,899
to rehearsal one day Maurice was just

626
00:30:12,899 --> 00:30:14,580
there didn't have a job I don't think

627
00:30:14,580 --> 00:30:16,020
Marie's worked that time I'm not sure

628
00:30:16,020 --> 00:30:17,820
some kind of way Maurice would come to

629
00:30:17,820 --> 00:30:21,240
rehearsals or to clubs dressed you know

630
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,860

631
00:30:22,860 --> 00:30:23,779
of times

632
00:30:23,779 --> 00:30:26,100
he was a utility man play Congress

633
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:28,559
saxophone and and the comedy and he

634
00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:30,299
would do the Schism and then he would

635
00:30:30,299 --> 00:30:31,919
play his home over there and then you

636
00:30:31,919 --> 00:30:34,860

but I you know and I always got Applause

639
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,000
for my solos and I guess I lived in that

640
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,100
dream where I was in a dream world but

641
00:30:44,100 --> 00:30:45,360
it wasn't no dream because it was like a

642
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,440
dream come true

643
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,559
and Cleveland The OJ's were the big the

644
00:30:49,559 --> 00:30:51,960
big wigs and I would have to say the

645
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,700

650
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,820

00:35:07,980 --> 00:35:11,160
as we started working a little less you

746
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,859
know and Maurice was taken you know on a

747
00:35:13,859 --> 00:35:15,660
little different turns that's when we

748
00:35:15,660 --> 00:35:17,880
lost lost sight of it

749
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,160
we all had the same dream that we wanted

750
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,980
to achieve and that's the only thing

751
00:35:22,980 --> 00:35:24,480
that I'm sad that we didn't do it

752
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,099
together you know you take advantage of

753
00:35:26,099 --> 00:35:27,900
the opportunities that that come to you

754
00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:30,960
at that time you know the route he went

755
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,660
that was his choice I can't speak on

756
00:35:33,660 --> 00:35:34,619

I

760
00:35:40,020 --> 00:35:42,720
I just the inability to survive

761
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:45,980
and ability to pay bills

762
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,720

if you're that talented I just don't

795
00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:12,540
understand you know why he doesn't have

796
00:37:12,540 --> 00:37:14,160
it and maybe you know from the past and

797
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,780
going through what he did go through

798
00:37:15,780 --> 00:37:18,000
from being in the bed and then being on

799
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,160

800
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:21,599

801
00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:23,040

1032
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,720
with them I'm playing with them I'm

1033
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:44,640
working with them you know I'm just a

1034
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,319
saxophone player but I'm working with my

1035
00:51:46,319 --> 00:51:48,660
friends with my stars these gather the

1036
00:51:48,660 --> 00:51:51,660
Stars what Maurice is not saying is that

1037
00:51:51,660 --> 00:51:54,359
the roots of where we all come from

1038
00:51:54,359 --> 00:51:57,240
have spilled into all of us in this room

1039
00:51:57,240 --> 00:51:58,920
and then on that's going to Grace the

1040
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:00,960
stage with Maurice we all have the same

1041
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,180
Roots we all grew up here together so we

1042
00:52:03,180 --> 00:52:05,940
have this musical connection so when you

1043
00:52:05,940 --> 00:52:07,980
see him out there by himself and he's

1044
00:52:07,980 --> 00:52:10,920
blowing we are all right there with him

1045
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,200
you may not see us but that's what's

1046
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,940
coming out of his horn and that's the

1047
00:52:14,940 --> 00:52:17,640
attraction to what Maurice has done and

1048
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,500
I applaud him and I'm honored to be here

1049
00:52:19,500 --> 00:52:22,559
with him on this occasion thank you very

1050
00:52:22,559 --> 00:52:24,680
much

1051
00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:26,700
it's all right

1052
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:28,460
okay cameras go away

1053
00:52:28,460 --> 00:52:31,700
here we go

1054
00:52:31,830 --> 00:52:51,210
[Music]

1055
00:52:55,319 --> 00:52:58,559
rehearsals are going fine Maurice was

1056
00:52:58,559 --> 00:53:00,480
doing brilliantly they all worked

1057
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:01,559
together so they've been working

1058
00:53:01,559 --> 00:53:04,079
together for years it was something

1059
00:53:04,079 --> 00:53:06,000
where everything could succeed there'd

1060
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,859
be no problems all he has to do is just

1061
00:53:07,859 --> 00:53:11,280
show up each day with his horn

1062
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,660
and then he got arrested

1063
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,160
I think that when I first heard about it

1064
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:24,900
and

1065
00:53:24,900 --> 00:53:27,900
it was shared with me the reason I

1066
00:53:27,900 --> 00:53:29,400
didn't believe it

1067
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,240
so when it was confirmed it just

1068
00:53:33,240 --> 00:53:35,220
it was difficult to

1069
00:53:35,220 --> 00:53:39,859
even try to understand it

1070
00:53:41,099 --> 00:53:42,960
Maurice was told he had to have a

1071
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:44,220
vendor's license

1072
00:53:44,220 --> 00:53:46,680
now you're talking almost 20 years

1073
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,619
that's never been an issue

1074
00:53:49,619 --> 00:53:51,540
they arrested him they put him in

1075
00:53:51,540 --> 00:53:53,819
handcuffs he's an idiot using that as

1076
00:53:53,819 --> 00:53:56,520
justification we found out that there

1077
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,200
are a few police officers in Cleveland

1078
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,059
that actually hate him

1079
00:54:00,059 --> 00:54:01,980
and those were the words that were used

1080
00:54:01,980 --> 00:54:05,160
[Music]

1081
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,500
once the arrests started to get that

1082
00:54:07,500 --> 00:54:10,500
media coverage I started to hear and

1083
00:54:10,500 --> 00:54:12,359
read the negative comments that were

1084
00:54:12,359 --> 00:54:14,819
made about him like this one guy

1085
00:54:14,819 --> 00:54:17,880
commented he said well he needs to stop

1086
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,040
playing because he's nowhere close to

1087
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:24,720
how his dad was as far as his uh his

1088
00:54:24,720 --> 00:54:27,300
musical career

1089
00:54:27,300 --> 00:54:29,280
you know we have a little bit of a

1090
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:30,839
problem those of us who are professional

1091
00:54:30,839 --> 00:54:33,059
musicians when when we see

1092
00:54:33,059 --> 00:54:35,099
it's kind of attention paid to somebody

1093
00:54:35,099 --> 00:54:36,780
who really doesn't

1094
00:54:36,780 --> 00:54:39,300
he doesn't have the skills at least not

1095
00:54:39,300 --> 00:54:41,520
on the saxophone there are some really

1096
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:42,780
really fine

1097
00:54:42,780 --> 00:54:44,880
jazz players and saxophone players in

1098
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,760
this city he's not one of them why would

1099
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,440
this happen now this is like the worst

1100
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,300
possible time this could happen because

1101
00:54:51,300 --> 00:54:54,480
he has his opportunity he wants to make

1102
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,960
it work so having this incident

1103
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,460
could easily deflate him

1104

[Music]

1105
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:15,960
what's going through my head is prayer

1106
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,660
it's just prayer man do what you got to

1107
00:55:18,660 --> 00:55:21,300

coming your way you have the opportunity

1109
00:55:23,339 --> 00:55:25,980
to show your talent even to these police

1110
00:55:25,980 --> 00:55:27,720
officers and everybody else is picking

1111
00:55:27,720 --> 00:55:29,520

even sneeze if they're looking for you

1115
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,559
to sneeze let's just get through this

1116
00:55:40,559 --> 00:55:43,440
if my dad could come back and say

1117
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,619
something to my brother ugh the thing

1118
00:55:46,619 --> 00:55:48,960
that he always said is the song that he

1119
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,599
always sung the song straightened up and

1120
00:55:51,599 --> 00:55:52,619
fly right

1121
00:55:52,619 --> 00:55:55,260
and and that's what he said all the time

1122
00:55:55,260 --> 00:55:57,599
he said you need to straighten up and

1123
00:55:57,599 --> 00:56:00,660
fly right even though

1124
00:56:00,660 --> 00:56:03,839
I know he's proud of him and what he's

1125
00:56:03,839 --> 00:56:07,980
doing but he wants him to be strong and

1126
00:56:07,980 --> 00:56:09,599
believe in himself so I think that he

1127
00:56:09,599 --> 00:56:12,020
would tell him that

1128
00:56:12,020 --> 00:56:15,599
cat you need to get it together you need

1129
00:56:15,599 --> 00:56:18,660
to be tough and let everybody see your

1130
00:56:18,660 --> 00:56:20,760
talents and see what Maurice Reedus Jr

1131
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:21,720
can do

1132
00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:24,420
because you want to be like me well you

00:56:24,420 --> 00:56:26,880

1134

1141
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,700
hope like something might happen

1142
00:56:47,700 --> 00:56:49,440
you know I'm like it's not about no

1143
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,920
money just about me being

00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,780

1145
00:56:54,780 --> 00:56:56,940
dream as a musician and just want to

1149
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,740

1150
00:57:07,740 --> 00:57:10,020

1151
00:57:10,020 --> 00:57:12,300
I was on his word

1152
00:57:12,300 --> 00:57:13,680
and hugging me around my shoulders

1153
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,900
saying she can't I I knew you had it in

1154
00:57:15,900 --> 00:57:17,400
your cat

1155
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,960
I can hear my I can see mommy just

1156
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:20,940
looking at me just smiling and smiling

1157
00:57:20,940 --> 00:57:23,099
and grinning

1158
00:57:23,099 --> 00:57:25,800
the grinning at me and Daddy doing like

1159
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,300
this they're shaking her head smiling

1160
00:57:27,300 --> 00:57:29,599
ready

1161
00:57:30,119 --> 00:57:32,040
now

1162
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,280
I think people know exactly what type of

1163
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,040
talent my my brother has once he gets on

1164
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:39,599
the stage a whole different person comes

1165
00:57:39,599 --> 00:57:41,099
out

1166
00:57:41,099 --> 00:57:42,900
what a real person comes out I should

1167
00:57:42,900 --> 00:57:45,140
say

1168
00:57:45,540 --> 00:57:47,640
my biggest hope for him

1169
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,059
in regards to this shows is that

1170
00:57:51,059 --> 00:57:53,880
people show up and that he just performs

1171
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,760
like he haven't performed before and

1172
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,260
with all that I really think that he

1173
00:57:58,260 --> 00:58:00,900
would be satisfied just the full crowd

1174
00:58:00,900 --> 00:58:02,640
and just the people being there and

1175
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,440
clapping and cheering and listening to

1176
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,380
them play I really do and that might be

1177
00:58:07,380 --> 00:58:08,760
all he needs

1178
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,380
that might be I'll be needs

1179
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,780

I think that the perception has changed

1405
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,620
for lots of people I think that the

1406
01:14:10,620 --> 01:14:12,120
people that were in that audience were

1407
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,340

1435
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,760
success doesn't really necessarily mean

1436
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:34,260
a bunch of money

1437
01:17:34,260 --> 01:17:36,420
I think success means just the freedom

1438
01:17:36,420 --> 01:17:37,800
of playing that music that you really

1439
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:39,360
love to do

1440
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,460
and it's nothing that freedom is just

playing on the street

1443

let them

1444
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:47,219
you know that's what a lot of musicians

1445
01:17:47,219 --> 01:17:50,100
have you can't break their Spirit he

1446
01:17:50,100 --> 01:17:52,440
can't not play it's his way of giving

1447
01:17:52,440 --> 01:17:54,659
them happiness and if he does that to

1448
01:17:54,659 --> 01:17:55,679
the end

1449
01:17:55,679 --> 01:17:57,600
