Hey. I'm sorry, I couldn't

No, no,
I was just getting up.

What's up?

Well...

You know, I've got, uh,
I've got something

kind of surprising
to tell you.

What is it?
Are Mom and Dad okay?

Yeah, no. Yeah,
they're good.

Listen, uh, Dad,
he got a call yesterday

from a guy
at a record company.

And you're not gonna
believe this, but he says, uh,

he says he heard
our record and, uh...

Our record?
What do you mean?

Dreamin'...
Dreamin' Wild.

He said he loves it,
you know? He said...

He said he's never heard
anything like it.

Dreamin' Wild?
I don't get it, Joe.

Is this a joke?

No, no. No, I don't--
I don't think so.

Uh-huh.

Look, he wants
to come up to the--

to the farm on Friday
and talk about it.

Well, no,
I got things going on

at the studio on Friday.

I got it.

This could be
real important, Donnie.

You know, Dad--
Dad's real excited. I'm--

- I mean, everybody's excited.
- Yeah, no, uh...

Let me... Can I call you back
later today on this, Joe?

- Okay, all right, goodbye.
- Okay.

What was that about?

I don't know.
Probably nothing.

- Hey, brother.

Hey, Joe.

- Hey, Dad.
- Good morning, son.

- Good to see ya.
- Uh, Donnie,

this is Matt Sullivan,
Light in the Attic Records.

- Great to meet you.
- Ah, you too.

Thanks for having me
out here, guys.

Oh, glad to have you.
Come on inside.

- Hey, Ma.
- Hey!

- Oh, my son.
- Matt, this is my wife, Salina.

Mrs. Emerson.
So nice to meet you.

- Oh.

Come in, come in.

- Uh, Matt, uh...

She's the brains
of the operation,

- so you better be on your toes.
- Good to know.

And these are
my daughters, Maria and Rose.

Hi, Maria. Hi, Rose.

I've been trying to track
you guys down for a while now.

You were not easy to find.

I'm sorry we didn't know
you was lookin'.

We'd have sent up one
of those flares or something.

- Well, as you know, I...

I wanted to talk to you...

wanted to talk to you
about this.

- Huh.
- Hmm.

My colleague
sent it to me and said,

"You've got to listen
to this immediately,"

and I did, and... and wow.

There it is,
that's Dreamin' Wild.

- That's you guys?

Yeah, yeah.
That's us, yeah. Right.

- This album is unbelievable.

- No, really,

it's, it's amazing, truly.

It really just blew my mind.

Well, that's nice, Matt.
Thank you.

Oh, I'm not being nice,
I'm telling you, it just...

this album knocked me out.

It knocked me out.

I never expected it
to have the depth

and complexity that it does.

It's bluesy,
it's funky, it's...

Man, it's got so much soul.

That song "Baby,"
it's amazing.

Where did it come from?

- Uh, the music?
- Yeah.

Oh, well, I guess... I guess
it came from Donnie, mostly.

Did I get that right,
you wrote most of the songs
on the album?

Yeah, he also played
most of the instruments too.

Yeah, I mean, I played drums.

- We had a friend of ours...
- Yeah, yeah.

...sit in on bass
for a couple of songs,

but Donnie, he played
everything else.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yep.

That's quite impressive.
Uh, how old were you two?

Oh, God,
must have been what, 16, 17?

Donnie was 15
and Joe was 17.

Wow, 15 and 17,
that's... that's...

How did you do it?

I mean, record
an album like this?

- Who was your producer?
- Donnie produced it.

He made it all right here.

Yeah. Yeah, Dad built us
a place out in the woods

to practice in.

We called it
"the practice place."

We recorded the whole thing,

you know, right...
right there.

- Wow.

- And then what happened?
- Well, not much.

Uh, we-we didn't know

really anything about
selling records, Matt.

I mean, Mom and I tried
to sell them around here,

but, yeah, that was...
that was about it.

We still do.
I sold three just last month.

- All right.

There's a whole
long story there.

Uh, but what--

you know, just what's the...

what's the idea here, Matt?

The idea is that I really
wanna help you guys.

We can release Dreamin' Wild

the way an album of this
caliber should be released.

Okay, and how are you
gonna do that?

Well, it's what we do.
My partner and I formed

Light in the Attic
to help overlooked artists.

We find albums that
never found an audience,

didn't quite work
the first time around.

We try to give them
a second chance,

a chance to succeed.

And based on all the buzz
the record has gotten...

Wait, what did you say, buzz?

- What do you mean?
- Yeah, I'm sorry.

The buzz online
for the record.

You've seen that, right?

- No.
- We don't really have

- Internet here.
- No.

Okay, so let me
take it back for you.

A record collector in Montana
found this album somewhere.

He starts passing it around
to his buddies,

he loves the album.
Then these vinyl collectors

on the West Coast
get ahold of it and...

it just starts spreading
and it keeps going and going.

- Yeah.

I'm telling you guys,
there's a lot of love
for you out there.

And... I think it's time

for the rest of the world
to hear it.

And we wanna be
in business with you

to make sure that happens.

Okay, so,
what's that gonna cost us?

Uh...
it won't cost you anything.

We're gonna
re-press the album,

promote it, market it,
put it out the way

an album of this caliber
should be released.

Donnie, it's not gonna
cost you a thing.

In fact, if I'm right,

there's a good chance
you'll make money.

- We'll be in touch.
- Okay.

I'd love to work
with you guys. It'd be an honor.

I wonder
what kind of store?

It must have been, like,
an antique store or something.

Donnie, is this...
I mean, is this real?

I guess we'll just
have to wait and see.

Should be an answer
to our prayers, though.

You stay for dinner
and we celebrate.

- No, Mama, I've gotta go.
- No, no, no.

It's been too long,
and I feed you.

You know your mother, you're
not gonna get out of here

without her feeding you.

What do you think,
Donnie, huh?

What he said about all those
people loving the album?

- What about that, huh?
- Yeah.

- That's crazy.
- Yeah, pretty cool.

- Yeah.
- You know, I think, uh...

we've been promised things
before, you know,

and we get
left holding the bag.

- Yeah.
- Good to see you

- back out here, son.
- Yeah. You too, Dad.

How are things?

- All right. Good.
- How's Nancy?

- Yeah, she's good.
- Yeah?

Um, running around
with the kids, and, um...

we've been playing some gigs,
mostly around town, and...

and she's trying
to keep the studio busy.

Yeah. I hear it's been
kind of tough.

Yeah, well, we're trying.

Oh, you're doing good, son.
Don't you worry.

No, no, I know, but it
might be that the business

just isn't there
right now, you know.

It's just...
just not.

And as much
as I hate to say it,

no, Dad, it might be that
we have to close it down.

Well, I'll talk to the bank
again, see what we can do.

Dad, I don't want you
to call the bank again

because you've done
too much already.

I know you didn't like
the bankruptcy idea,

but that was supposed
to take some pressure off,

and not just me and Nance
but you and Mom too,

and now the studio's
another thing that's
dragging you down.

No, it's not dragging us down.
We're doing okay.

- That smells good.

Anyway, you need
somewhere to play, don't ya?
Especially now.

Who do you think
these people are?

They found, uh...
they found it in Montana.

I wonder what kind of store.

Must have been, like,
an antique store or something.

They must have
listened to it...

Dad?

Aw, shoot, Mom, I forgot.

I had promised Nance that
I would be back for dinner.

She's making something
special tonight.

No, no, no.
Can't you call her?

Tell her you are
celebrating with us.

Oh, no, Mom, I love you.
I can't...

'Cause she's making
something special.

- Okay.

- All right.
- We love you.

Thank you, Mom,
I love you too. All right.

Okay, Don. Yeah.
Yes, it's good to see ya.

- Okay, yeah.
- Yeah.

- Yep, I'll see you soon.
- Okay.

Safe travels, son.

- Huh. I'm hungry, Mom.

Come smell.
Well, then set the table.

Dreamin' Wild
on Light in the Attic Records.

Wow!

Wow, look--
look at that, Dad.

There it is.

Oh, that's beautiful.

- Matt, that's real...

It's nice. It's real nice,
it looks great.

Wait till you hear
how it sounds.

It's really rich and warm.

I think you're gonna
be real happy
with the remastering.

- Thanks, Matt.
- No, you hold onto it.

It's yours.
Uh, Pitchfork heard it.

You guys ever hear
of Pitchfork?

It's an online magazine,
super popular.

They're giving the album
eight out of ten stars.

- Is that good?
- Oh, it's great.

I mean, they're
reviewing a reissue

from 30 years ago.
It's fantastic.

- Eight out of ten
is great, Dad.
- It's okay?

- Yeah.
- Listen to this.

"During its finest moments,

to twist a Brian Wilson phrase,

Dreamin' Wild is a Godlike
symphony to teenhood."

- Brian Wilson?
- Yeah.

- Well, heck, let's celebrate.
- I'd love to celebrate.

Oh, thanks, man!
Yeah, let's celebrate.

Well, Matt came out
to the house

and then he had
this article...

"Like a teenage symphony
to teenhood" or something.

Right, Matt?
That's what he said, right?

That's what they said.

- Hey, Dion.
- What's up, Joe?

- You made it.
- Hey, Donnie, long time, man.

- Good to see you, bro.
- Good to see ya.

So, uh, Donnie, you finally
made the big time, huh?

Oh, I don't know about that.

You ain't been around.
Where you been?

Uh, Nance and I play
on the road a little bit.

Just not around here
though, huh?

Your brother's place
not good enough for you?

Uh, Dave,
can we get Dion a beer?

Get him a cold beer?

- Hold on, Matt Sullivan.

Hold on, Matt Sullivan.
Hold on, Matt Sullivan.

There it is.

Are you okay?

This is where
it happened.

Wow.

Looks like
a special place.

Yeah.
We came here every day,

you know, after working
out in the fields.

I mean, we'd get
washed up first, you know?

We'd put on some clean clothes
and we'd just... come here.

It was like, uh...

like going to church,
you know?

Yeah, I bet.

Yeah.

Donnie, let's go inside.
Come on, let's take Matt in.

- All right, hold on.
- Let's check it out.

Here we go.
Let me turn on these lights.

Yeah, come on in.

Wow. This is it.

- Holy shit.

Hello? Hello?

Test, one, two.

Test, one, two, three.

So, how was it
set up back then?

Had the drums there
and the keyboard over there,

and then kind of wander
around with the guitar
and microphone

trying to find
the right sound, you know?

Huh.

Yeah. I love it.

Yeah, it's special, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, look at this.

- Oh, yeah, this is the...
- This the control room?

- Yep, it's
the control room. Yeah.
- Oh, wow.

- This was it, right here.
- This is--

- Oh, this is awesome.
- Yeah.

- Beautiful, fantastic.
- Oh!

- Look at these eight-tracks.
- Oh, Matt, I think
we got a little mouse

that made a home up here.

- Oh, yeah?
- I'm sorry about that.

That's okay. They gotta
live somewhere, right?

Yeah.

Well, it's pretty simple, huh?

- Oh, it's great.
- Yeah, it's simple.

It's got a great vibe. You can--
You can feel it, it's special.

Yeah.

- Hey, where's that beer?
- At my house.

My house.
You wanna get a beer?

- Yes.
- Okay, let's get a beer.

Go ahead, I'll take care
of the mouse.

- You sure? Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Okay, all right. Okay.

Okay.

Are you still thinking
about going to Hunter's?

I don't know, my Pops has
some work he wants me to do.

- So...
- Yeah?

- We'll see how that goes.

Yeah, I'm not sure either.
We might, uh...

I might-- I might just
stick around here.

Boom, boom.

I'm Deuce, the drummer.

That's Cricket, my assistant.

- This is, uh, Cameron.

Hear what he said?
He said "when we play live."

I said " if we play live,"
he said "when we play live."

Donnie, what you got
going on over there?

- I was playing around.
- He just came up with this.

He comes up with all
this stuff, isn't it amazing?

No,
I thought about it last night.

He dreams.
He comes back the next day,

he's got a whole
bunch of ideas.

- How'd he that?
- Don, what you got

going on over there?

"Dream Full of Dreams."

- Is that what it's called?
- Yeah.

- How does it go?

Not sure that beer and flares

are supposed to be mixed.

Oh, shit.

Yes.

How you doin'?

Good.

Thanks for having me out.

Yeah, thanks for coming out.

- Mm.

So check this out,
New York Times called me.

They wanna
send a writer out...

- ...to do a story on you guys.

- Are you pulling my leg?

No.

It's pretty exciting.

You make an album
when you're 16 years old

and nobody likes it.

Thirty years go by...

The New York Times wants
to come out and talk to you.

Not too bad.

I'm a drummer
in a rock n' roll band!

You know, when we made
that album, we were so happy.

Just...

didn't know anything
about the world.

Literally just here.

Yeah.

Just here, playing music.

Put everything we had into it.

And no one liked it.

Nothin'.

It's so weird to have this,

you know, now,
and I'm not sure what, what...

what... what to do
with all of it.

Hmm. I get it. I mean,
I can imagine it's a lot.

But, uh, people
are starting to hear it,

and people are starting
to feel it.

What do you do with it?
You know, that's...

Well, it's a good question.

Maybe you could try...

...enjoying it?

And we have Donnie
and Joe Emerson here with us,

two musicians
from Fruitland, Washington,

who recorded an album
when they were teenagers

back in the late '70s.

Did I get that right?
Is it Donnie or Don?

Well, now people call me Don,

but when we made the album,
people called me Donnie,

so I guess it could be
either one, you know.

You can call me Don or you...

- Shut up, bro!

- Joe Emerson?
- Yeah.

I'm Steven Kurutz
from The New York Times.

- We spoke on the phone.
- Ah! Yeah, hey, Steven.

Welcome, welcome.

- Thank you.
- Yeah, good to meet ya.

How did Donnie
get started?

He started playing
some at school.

Uh, taught himself piano.

And guitar.

And then he started
writing songs,

and I don't mean
like little kid songs,

these were like real songs,
and he was writing

one or two a day.

Growing up on the farm,
we were pretty protected

from outside influences.

We didn't really watch
television that much,

didn't really buy records
or anything. I mean, heck,

I don't even think-- did we even
have, like, a record player?

Well, I remember
we got a tractor
when I was, like, 12.

And that had a radio in it,
and that was pretty cool

'cause then we could
listen to music.

I didn't know
that much about music,

but, uh, it seemed like
something we shouldn't ignore.

- Whoa!
- So...

we got him some equipment,
Joe too,

- drums and guitars.

We built them a little place
to practice in.

My dad is a man of faith.

He believes
in his family and...
he believes in Donnie.

- This is perfect!
- Ah!

- All right, boys.

You and Donnie
still play together?

Nope, no.

When Dreamin' Wild
didn't work out,

we made the decision that,

that Donnie
would be better off

as a solo act, you know?

I mean, he was the one
with the talent.

Anybody could see that.

You know, Donnie's a...

he's a complicated
sort of guy.

He's got a...

a lot going on in his head.

And what he did,
you know, Steven,

I mean, what he does,
it's, uh...

I don't know,
it's just kind of like
a genius, truthfully.

But it's not
always easy for him.

How about for you?

Oh, me, I get along fine,
you know.

I just keep...
I keep working on my house.

Wait, you built that?

Yeah, yeah, I sure did.

And it's just you there?

You never married?

No. No, no,

I never, never, never did.

No.

You know, there was a...

there was someone special.

You know,
she was real special.

And I was
building it for her.

And, um...

she passed away.

Headin' back to New York?

I am.

But I wanna thank you

for, for welcoming me
and being so open.

Ah.

You've got
a wonderful family here.

I suppose you know
that, though.

Well, if you're ever
in the neighborhood,

the door's always open.

- Thank you, sir.

- So, where are you headed?
- Taking this load to Colville.

How far is that?

Uh, it's about
a 100 miles round trip.

Not too bad.

How old are you again, Don?

I don't keep track
of those things, Steven.

- Well, enjoy the journey.

Come on, Dad.

Here it is.

Hold on,
hold on. Oh, boy.

- Gosh. Oh, my gosh.
- You look good.

- Oh.

Okay.

" 'A Time Capsule Set to Song.'

By Steven Kurutz,
Fruitland, Washington.

By the time he was
in his teens in the late 1970s,

Donnie Emerson..."

"Donnie Emerson
could play the trombone,

clarinet, piano, guitar,

and was writing
and singing his own songs,

musical gifts that
took shape in a cabin

set among the Ponderosa pines
on the Emerson family farm."

"Joe accompanied him on drums,

and the brothers formed
a close musical bond.

They would play
for hours at home

or drive over
to Fruitland Valley,

where other farm boys
had wild parties."

- "And they would jam

in a ramshackle house
known as the Hilton."

Let me tell you what,
those parties, they were wild.

Those parties
were wild, wild.

"Maria, who is now 50

and lives with
her husband near Spokane,

remembers that
the entire family

rallied around their music

and attached a lot
of hope to the album.

'My dad and mom both
are big dreamers,' she said.

'We were wanting something
good to come of it.'

'What happened next?
Not much.'"

So, where do you boys
see this all going,

this music thing?

Hell, we got 1,600 acres here.

Probably get more,

if we keep going
the way we're going.

But it don't come easy.

It's a lot of work,
a lot of responsibility.

But you give it your life

and it gives you back a life.

That's how I brought
you boys up.

But, uh, now...

I got this problem.

I got this son...
two sons, really...

going off and spending
a lot of time making music

and all this
writing songs and whatnot.

Wouldn't really be
a problem, though,

if I didn't think
that there was a...

a talent there.

So, what I wanna know...

is how serious you boys are
about all this.

Real serious.

Yeah, yeah.
Real serious, Dad.

Yeah, well, you can see
the problem then.

I can do both.

I'll do my chores
and I'll make my music

- and I'll make it work.
- Uh-huh.

I expect you will.

But if you're serious
about the music,

you gotta work on it, hard,
same as on the farm.

No slackin' off,
'cause that's what it'll take.

Remember...

you exhaust the body,
you free the mind.

Hmm?

Got me?

Yes, sir.

One condition, though.

I want you to do
your own songs.

Playing other people's
songs is...

okay for fun and whatnot,

but it's not gonna
get you anywhere.

You got a mind for it, son.

A gift.

You gotta use it.

You do that,

you work hard.

And I'll support you.

I'll do whatever
I can to help.

I believe in you boys.

Hmm?

Don't let me down.

Oh!

Yeah, okay. Yeah.
That's enough of that.

- Jimmy Fallon, he comes out,

he says "Baby"
is his new favorite track.

- On TV?
- Last week.

- His new favorite?
- Yes.

And-and the response
has been terrific.

A big bump in sales,

and that's on top
of the strong numbers

we've already been seeing,

so things are really
just cookin'.

In fact, I wanted...

- Wow,
- ...to deliver this
to you personally.

Your first royalty check.

Now, it's just
the first quarter,
so it's not a big one,

but it's just the beginning,
there'll be more to come.

You know,
that's a royalty check.

That is a...
that is... Wow!

That's a real check.

Um... Matt, thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.
Thank you.

I've been getting
a lot of calls. I tell ya,

lots of calls,
requests from all over,

for you guys to come play.

I think we could put together
a pretty decent tour.

Oh, you mean
with me and...

- A tour?
- ...and Donnie, on stage?

- A tour.
- The two of us together?

- The two of you together.
- Just us?

Yeah. I mean, a tour
would, uh, put you out there

in front of people just to...

show 'em what you got.

- Now, uh, our company's...

...putting together
an anniversary show

at the Showbox in Seattle
in October,

and we'd love
for you guys to play.

- At the Showbox?
- Yeah.

What would we play?

Just a couple of tunes
off the album, you know.

- Shake a few hands.
- Yeah.

It'd be fantastic.
Don't answer me now.

Just-just,
just think about it.

- But it means something...

It'd mean
a lot to me personally.

- The Showbox?
- Yes.

- Are you kidding me?
- No, I'm not.

- No? In Seattle?
- Yeah.

How many times have we said
we wanted to play there?

So many times,
so many times we've said
we wanted to play there,

and now he wants it to be
the kickoff for a tour,

and he says that there are,
you know, a hundred places

have called
to request us for after.

Wait, so...

you and Joe...
you and Joe, right?

Yeah.

Which is weird 'cause it was
our thing for so long.

this dream is coming true,

First, I just wanna tell you
how grateful I am

for this opportunity,
Matt, um...

I'm so glad
you're doing it, man.

The only thing is,
you know, on the record,

there was Joey on drums
and me on...

well, on everything else.

Right, so you need
some backup.

I've already got the band,

and they'd be willing
to do it for free.

Awesome. Bring 'em.
What else?

You know,
Dreamin' Wild...

I got a lot more than that.

Look, I'm glad
you're bringing this up.

I've been wanting
to ask you about it.

I've been writing
and playing music

this whole time,
jazz and rock and country.

Anyway, I've been working
on some new stuff with Nancy.

- I think you'd dig it.
- I'd love to hear it.

Maybe after the show?

Sure.

- Should we go for one more?
- We're supposed to be meeting

Linda and Heidi
at the barn about now.

Oh, yeah.
Okay. You comin'?

No, no, no,
I'm better back here.

- I'm good.
- Come on, man.

They said they might bring
some more girls.

- It could be fun.
- No, that's okay.

I'm gonna...
Ray's gonna come over,

and he's gonna help me
with the car, so...

we're gonna get that done.

And I want it
to be just right.

- You sure?
- Yeah!

- Yeah.

All right, you two,

There's a party going on
over here, you know.

Eldon says you guys
are recording an album.

Yeah, well, I mean,
we're working on it.

a real music album?

Yeah. That's what
we're going for.

Joe, I'm sorry I was
so stressed out the other day.

- No, it's okay.
- And I just...

I know that you were
frustrated too, you know,

so I figured that, uh,
we could use some help.

- So I got some reinforcements.

What? Some reinforcements?

Yeah? Oh!

Hey.

- Hi.
- Hey, Joey.

- Hi, Nancy.
- How are ya?

- I'm good, Nancy, how are you?

- It's Dion the Disaster.
- Hey, what's going on, Joe?

- Hey, Dion, how are ya?
- Good, good.

- Good.
- What do you think?

I mean, I figured it'd
just take some pressure off,

and then I also wanted to work
on some new arrangements.

Okay. Yeah, yeah.

- Is that all right?
- Okay. Yeah, no, that's fine.

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

the bass drum.

You're not keeping up, man.

- Wouldn't it be easier?
- Can we just go one more time?

- I'm just...
- Really not that
big of a deal.

I'd like you to play
the bass drum in time.

Hey, Donnie,
that's not necessary.

Yeah, that is necessary
because it's not working.

No. It sounds good.

Everything else
sounds good except for that,

so then we fix it
because it's a rehearsal.

Can you loosen up?

- I'm loose.
- Really?

- Yeah, I'm loose.
- It doesn't seem like it.

Well, look closer.
I'm loose.

- Okay, I'm looking.

What's it called? "Good Time".

We've been doing this

Why not? You're acting

- Be quiet!
- You're acting crazy in there.

- He can't keep a beat.
- He's doing all right.

Doing all right?
An "all right"
is not good enough.

It's been 30-odd, 45 years.

He doesn't--
It's not good.

And then Matt's gonna
book the tour for us
if this works out,

so you could say it's kind of
the biggest show of my life.

And I don't want it
to get messed up.

Oh, sorry, man. Here.

another one of them.

- Oh, I do. Think so.
- Yes?

Yeah, all's I gotta do is
just finish up this gap here

and I think we'll be good.

Don't you need, um...
two more?

- Yeah, I'll get two more.
- Donnie, Joe!

- Yeah?
- Dad's looking for us.

Wants us to come inside.

Well,
can't it wait a second?

I don't think so.

So, I got this call
from Los Angeles.

- Whoa!
- Really?

Yeah, uh...

- a record producer.

- What?
- Yeah,

he heard the record,
thought it was great,

one of the best things
he's heard.

- Yeah! Gosh!

He said
he thought it showed a lot
of promise and whatnot

and wanted to know
if there was any more
where that came from.

Well, there sure is.
Yeah! How about that, Donnie?

So this guy,
he says he's a producer,

not a record company,

so he can't really help us
in selling Dreamin' Wild.

What he wants is,
he wants to help us

make a new album.

He says he works with
these record company guys
all the time,

and he knows what they want.

And he... he thinks...

Donnie should be a solo act.

- What?
- No.

Solo?

No. No. What? No.

- No way.
- Well, that's what I said.

It's, it's the Emerson Brothers.

- Donnie and Joe.
- Yeah.

Anyway, he seemed
kind of set on that.

But I told him...

no, that's not
gonna happen. We don't...

we don't operate
that way in our family.

They're music people,
they don't understand.

We know what it is
to do things together,

so I'll talk to them
and we'll work it out.

It'll be fine.

- What do you wanna play?
- But you did.

You wanted to play
the old stuff.

'Cause you said
that's what everybody wanted

and you thought
it would be fun.

There we were, pretending that
we're 17 years old on stage.

It's pathetic.

So now what?

- I don't know.
- Yeah,

well, I tell ya,
there's no tour,

there's no album,
there's no frickin' comeback.

- Yeah, but what do you care?
- What do you mean,
"What do I care?"

What do you care?
You haven't spent
your whole life

trying to make music,
trying to make stuff that
someone's gonna listen to.

So you don't care.

But it's a little bit
more than that for me.

Because I have spent my whole
life trying to make music

that people might
wanna hear.

Because you do
something else, Joe.

You cut down trees,
and you build stuff.

And you do whatever you want.

But you're not busting your ass
trying to make music.

You're not doing that.
That's what I'm doing.

Okay, Donnie.

So when you say,
"Let's play the old stuff,"

it's just fun for you.
It's not just fun for me.

- It's not fun for me!
- I didn't...

To do what everyone wants
isn't fun for me!

But you're having fun!
I'm not having fun!

So don't tell me
what I need to do!

Because it's my music!

Because I've been
working at it!

And now there's nothing.

Sorry, Mom and Dad.

Donnie.

Joey and your dad,
they keep calling.

It's nice. I like it.

It's a bit sad, though,
isn't it?

So serious?

I don't know if I wanna
be that serious.

They robbed us.

Hello?

Joey? Is that you?

Yeah. Donnie?

It's Donnie.

Yeah, hey, brother,
how you doin'?

How is Hollywood
treating you?

Good. Good, very good.

Uh, I need to talk to Dad.
Is he there?

Yeah, okay, yeah, sure.
Here, he wants to talk to you.

How are things, son?

Dad? Oh, things
are going great.

Hal is so fantastic,
really talented.

You know, I've got--
He's got so many great ideas,

and he's bringing in
the best for me.

I-I really think
you're gonna love it.

- But, anyway, Dad,

I think we're gonna
need some more money.

More money?

Yeah. But not a lot.

Just a little more
to get these last few--

to get these last few songs
finished, and then...

- I know we've gone over

what he said, but I think
it's gonna be worth it.

I think you're gonna love it.

I'm... I'm gonna
make you proud.

I know you are, son.
I know you are.

You know what
this means, don't you, Don?

- I do.
- If this doesn't work

and you can't pay this off,

you're gonna lose
most of your farm.

- I don't advise it.
- I know.

I'm sure Donnie's
got the talent,

but these things
don't often work out.

...the music business,
but you gotta know,

the percentage chance
of success is like...

We'll do it for you,
really low.

I just don't wanna see you
gamble your livelihood.

It's not a gamble.
It's an investment.

Salina and I are making
an investment in our son,

in our family.

If you don't
believe in family,

what can you believe in?

Mom? Mom?

Dad?

Oh...

Dad?

Don't. Come!

- Let me help you.
- I'm okay, I'm okay.

No, I get liniment.

No, no, no, I'll be fine.

Just give me a minute.

Oh! Oh.

- Something for my head.
- Okay.

It's just a muscle spasm.
I'm okay!

It's the bank
and the payments.

It's too much.

- I'm all right.
- It's too much.

I'm all right.
Look, I'm all right.

I'm fine.

No, no, no!

Donnie, Donnie. Donnie.

Donnie, stop, stop, stop.

You're okay.

- You're okay.

You have to let it go.

Okay?

You have to find some way
to let it go.

Hello?

Where are you?

Okay, here we go.

I thought I heard something
going on out here.

I just stopped by, I was gonna
come see you and Mom after.

You okay?
You want me to...

No, no, I was just...
I was just listenin'.

I don't know
if you ever knew this,

but back when I was
working on the songs,

at mostly
in the middle of the night,

I'd just come sit out here

in the open by myself
and listen to it.

That's how I knew
if it was right.

Hang on,
I'll get a chair for you.

Hmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Takes you back.

- Yeah.

It does.

Seems like things
were a lot easier

- when I was a teenager.

Yeah, they weren't always
so easy then, either.

I guess not.

It feels that way now, though.

I get ya.

When we were kids, the music
just seemed to flow so easy.

Coming out here and...

not think about anything.
It just...

- It just kind of happened.
- Mmm-hmm.

It was never
like that again, though.

Didn't matter where I went.

Running around working,
trying to make something

that would be successful.

But I never could.

Then I realized
all that running around

I was really just...

running away from something.

From what?

Dad, I think I was
running away from you.

I was running away from
all the guilt and the shame

that I felt about
you putting up the money

and losing it and...

because you believed in me.

All this was yours,
everything that we could see,

and then it was gone
because of me.

But you never stopped believing
and you never stopped trying,

and then...

everything you did,
it just made me feel...

worse, you know?

Because I couldn't do
anything about it.

And then all this happened

and it felt like
a real shot for me to...

get something back for you.

Uh...

But I had to go back
and be something that I was...

when I was 17 years old.

I had to go back
and be someone else.

I can't do it.
I can't do it.

Or it's real hard.

And I'm trying.

I don't know if I can.
I can't figure it out.

Anyway...

just sorry, Dad, for putting you
through all of it.

You know...

I'm a pretty sound sleeper.

Once I fall asleep,

Mom can't wake me up
for nothing.

But I-I remember

waking up one night
a long time ago.

I wasn't able
to get back to sleep,

so I got up,
I walked out on the porch,

and, uh...

I heard this music.

I wouldn't have thought that
music would drift that far.

But...

I knew it was you.

Stood there
the rest of the night...

till it stopped.

I woke up a lot more nights
after that, just listened.

I could have
stood there forever.

Just listening.

I could tell you, son...

I would've gladly given up
all the land, all the farm,

just to hear that.

Just to hear you.

You're my son.

Even with all the hard times
we've been through...

I don't regret any of it.

And I couldn't be
prouder of you.

You play what you want.

I just want you to play.

Now, I gotta
go check on a load

I'm taking to Wenatchee
in the morning.

Go see your brother.

Okay, Dad.

- Hey.

Hey.

Brother, what are you
doing up here?

I come up to see
Mom and Dad.

- Ah.
- And, uh...

I came to tell you
that I'm sorry I said

all those stupid things up
at the show in Seattle.

Just, you know,
shouldn't have said them.

And, uh...

That's all right.

You were... probably right
about most of it.

I think I've come
to the conclusion

that I'm...

I'm pretty good at bringing down
trees and building things,

but when it comes to drumming,
I'm never gonna be a...

A Ringo Starr, I guess.

I don't know about that.

You know, uh, I was
listening to the old tapes

from Dreamin' Wild and...

just trying to figure out.

You know how everyone
has been saying

it's got this weird,
magical feel to it?

Uh, I couldn't
figure out what it was,

or how to do it.

And then I was listening
to the tapes

and I finally figured it out.

It's you.

You're the magic of it.

You really are.
You're the heart of it.

Anyway, I know
what you've done for me,

all the things
that you gave up

so that I could do the things
that I wanted to do.

And I... never will be able
to thank you enough.

But I should probably
try more often.

You know,
I'll tell you, Donnie...

What a time to...

We played together growing up,
you know, that was...

that was the best time
of my life, you know.

It really was, and, um...

now when all this stuff about
Dreamin' Wild came out...

It made me feel good.

And I'll admit that
I'd hoped that you and me,

we might start playing
together again, you know,

spending some time and...

and writing songs and...

and all that, you know,
but I know that that...

I know it's more
than that for you, Donnie.

You know, this is your...

it's your life, you know,
it's your gift,

and it's what you...

And it's not me, you know.

And that's okay.

I'm just... I'm good here.

You know, I'm good here
doing what I'm doing.

And, uh...

I'll always be here
for you, though.

You hear me?

All right.

I really love you, Joe.

- So, uh...

Uh...

- So where do we go from here?

Hey, you wanna play
one more show?

Yeah, okay. Yeah.
