Rock 'n' roll Hall of Famer Jeff you don't know the name maker like orchestra and then with the traveling will bring the last song by David Paul spoke with Glenn in his Los Angeles welcome all but I couldn't help but notice that you are touring again.

So that's only yesterday. It's going to be fun. It's not too long this time is just the right of this 20 shown.

There was a time when used to say you didn't like to the was a song when I hate to turn because most Isaac equipment an older holy stuff we were using was old just didn't have real pickups with cellos and barley and whatnot the monitors were like on the floor wedges down on the floor. You could very rarely pay what you singing so you have to start shouting because that really sucks is you can't really lay off the noise. After John protects his throat. But why now, why after 40 years on the 40th anniversary of out of the blue. What what other band is just as popular.

40 years later, the Beatles, maybe not your man.

It's very odd. I find it shocking every time going to lose readers, the dressing room going to the stage where I can be on the little bit you are looking Isaac writing like I can never be more amazed of every night just go watch. It's filled to the top road to the roof. You know I little woman. I can't sign a 7-Up process is marvelously, but you have any theories as to why I guess the choose of lasted long enough for people to think like a plan for the kids and my kids want. That's all I come at the concerts at all what if you could say you adults subscribe to sumo enjoyment singing and when he said it will 12 it all could singing all the words Mr. Bush got it's just I think wow I four years ago little bit about your the way you compose I've ever said that you you don't write music.

No doubt in but you are known for these incredible arrangements to acquire the string orchestra. I mean some complex cords so how do you write the songs without writing the notes well just play the cool jingle all that's a nonchalant look ups find a new one is with the ninth and get that unit and then I'll just like the iPhone or whatever, or any vessel is never really know any other phone with original recording voice memos. Yes, just put it on that and then I know what it is and by just listen to I don't have to write it down into it on paper. Not even chord symbols guitar chords.

No such put in the file is on the piano become sort of a non-Hispanic black, Utah, a plan which will be dependent, but I do like Russian songs on piano because you get some extra unexpected basement. If you missed by one and all of that unit and sometimes it's just not like the flu I called no idea what it is but it sounds wow it's good and it will go right into this one. Yeah so I will start what I'm is it is cold hound I just love colds, local changes in the way they change. I can effectuate really like send back the and neck with the hair stand on end. If it's a great go change. I got all know what others think of a song in another five minutes of music (but not just chord changes but but section changes there. These look like like the end of Mr. blue sky. A lot of people know about that long just to let so cool right out or in the middle of you know turn to stone.

There's a superfast section or or that the Spanish trumpet at the beginning of living thing you dress up these songs with totally different musical styles and sometimes just interrupt the beat with a total break. What is words that come from.

It's just you know the feeling of getting boring, getting boring you.

It's true I don't like someone I'm just whatever weekly school wizards like tornado was eating and to take your mind off this June is been going on for day to something that just turns left over so how and and then comes back to normal again after you bought just little things to add interest so that I don't get bored with it. Old sink. Imagine everybody else is getting boot but now you and sometimes those sections are full on pseudo-classical. The whole idea of yellow was was it rock band plus a class here in section it was yet all those years ago talking 1971 yeah to that idea come from and how do you know about class will meet dad was a madcap school person classics any new songs or dreams or symphonies, only bits and pieces of old. I wanted out a new because we got. It wasn't really a Leica. What color work.

He was a it was actually like a laborer, you should write the paving stones on the paths of Birmingham streets. It was the foreman of the Birmingham roadworks department Harry Nolan is saluting classical numbers and he knew what. Downing a new who was playing the blade fiddle and I'll let you know let's talk. I got mailed you know this is all just know it all, he did and he really did, and he was at his radio or his records on the whole weekend just classical all you would use this sometimes is like is options like Bing Crosby you know Nolan so mostly classical so ISA gets in a randomly throat base and ice to get ready like some of you know like or love the ice like a puppy ones better. The popular ones moral melodic kind of straightforward ones rose in the front seat unit discordant ones. I was never a fan of what your dad think of your music. Not a lot really easy never said much about it. Is it given the new album. Whatever. And that the only time we should like to complement probably was sublime. He wrote that's related because it was one called El Dorado Natalie strings going to do a lot of its interludes. Classical style release that you guys rented for the Winter classic and so he did say you have the fleeting yes Russia also.

So just want to prove our news little bit of something.

That's how parents are. They always disapprove their kids music yeah even with her listening to. I see you have quite a track record so there is yellow and you produced Tom Petty and Roy Orbison and Brian Wilson and George Harrison and then you knit all these together into the traveling Wilbert that the traveling Wilbert is on the first session voodoo with George of his new album pipeline, you just come out one night he just said you know what you should have a group lesson is nice to be good. It turns out that if you have any popular site like 10 Wilson from the road.

It was Bob Dylan. Okay, that's a good idea to have Robison sit yeah liberally recent truly the most. It's like the old party game about who would you invite to dinner if you could have any right to join a group, you have anyone and then we both wanted Tommy because we both put it was really cool. Your American boy you know it was like to give her some scrimmage unless other unforgotten only if I end this piping called traveling.

Wilbert is even perform live. Did you know we never did like show. Unfortunately, I was rather dumb to quite a few videos but limited live performance you not to know whether we could. It would've ever worked out with you know those slims different schedules go right right and what is the name traveling Wilbert come from well when George used to get messed about every night in a Tronic called with a knife. We come up with couple and then I think like I will be traveling the traveling Wilbert is going to does it mean something so I release just like in my pictures and I can run the traveling Wilbert is on the side like tutoring, unknown thing you know, like an old boss was something that so I thought of is like an amateur hour family group that traveled around from place to place.

Georgette even had amazing ideas like I got it will rent an aircraft carrier. I will go online with different poles and invites everybody onto watches will that's a brilliant Sunday that more difficult to sign it so that the source of all information, Wikipedia said the name came from glitches in the next that's not true that's not true. Worries they will bury in the mix. No notice not to fix that up also a funny guy expects that, would you mind telling for the thousandth time. Would you mind telling how Mr. blue sky came about. I got a Shelley Shelley in Switzerland rented one had loose. Delivered from music show Chris I just wanted to do the album just be there in no distractions so wrote most of them around probably 10 songs that in that place Mr. blue sky was one of them and them I didn't finish the word silica in the studio. Some of the some of the choose rule finished without any words I did those industries go in the hotel room which the studio that we use for school music on them. It was underneath the big hotel in the basement. Strange place to go but it was good send and you know I could could be a bit phobic customers bring underground flight 12 of 15 how yesterday with Sandy good in that so it was a good thing medical engineer that an so wrote in Switzerland. Most of it. But then a public did probably many were more.

There are probably full of five or six or whatever is actually in the studio in the hotel room, but they will source gel together like you wouldn't know which ones came from Swiss Lansing side of the right of the underground bunker in Munich that there's something about the weather. During that period right was that it was for the few days but nothing Tronic Mr. plain electric cannot base electric piano and a few other Lynch itself. The weather was voluntary. You couldn't see at the window really was just fog and one day Plato really did clear up on the net was the sounds recorded but it's true that giving our daylight gradually through the dance of Mr. blue sky properties – and then he was looking to block you lock them up on the mansion and select committee idea of a didn't give me the word sets up weeks of sweating truck to get those words, but this is a lot of rhymes, internal rhymes and externalizing vehicle. Wow, and we should take this moment to clear up something for posterity. At the very end of Mr. blue sky.

After the cellos go down down come to rest on that final chord there is the process vocoder is reset to say everything says Ms. stir loose me yeah that's now they're saying it's not the same is your teller yet is says actually. Please turn me over because it's at the end of a sweet golden concerto for rainy day and it was some slight treat was the last check on slide three. So we wanted to turn this thing out because of the double album so slide three and a full so it's asks you to turn the album over Satan comes into the album that's really what this racially and to this day in concert, please turn me bury my all my goodness, I want to tell you about our new shout to Disney's podcast and each episode mean a weekly gas that can cover all the quirky find inspiring and informative stories that exist on the wall because well maybe you do to the newest interior design trend Barbie car to the right and wrong way to wash her aunts out where you getting the things that you just kind of well probably not able to do in daytime television.
