My My heroes like Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette were not making that stuff up off the cuff.

They were living it.

And when I try to figure out why my story has gone the way it has, I think God was like,

well, you got to have something to write about, sis. Welcome to episode 552 with May Estes. You can follow her on Instagram. Even just to see what she looks like, M-A-E-E-E-S-T-E-E-S-T-E-S-M-E-E-S-T. She's got a self-titled EP that came out, October 10th. You can check out her music. And obviously, I liked her. Also, great merch. I've been wearing her hats for like a week and a half now. Yeah, right? Two colors of it. Yeah, at the end, she was like, hey, I brought you a couple hats. and people do bring stuff sometimes and most stuff just goes in the pile

but she

actually made some really cool hats so I've been wearing those and for no other reason that I think

she just designed some really good merch so she's really been like showing up in things

meaning you just see her name popping around like she's an artist that's elevating big time now. She's doing bigger shows. You're seeing her as part of like events in town. And so she's kind of been on the radar a little bit. And so to me, someone was like, hey, do you want to interview Mayestis? And I'd known her music a little bit, but I was like, I don't know if we're there yet.

And then I kept seeing her name. And then I was with George Burge, and I talk about this. And George is a close friend of mine. And he was like, she's great. And then he's like, you know, she's like, you. And I was like, uh, completely neurotic. And he's like, no. Like, she went to this Henderson State University.

She's from a small town like near you.

And I was like, really from Arkansas?

He's like, yeah, all that. And so did a little digging. Obviously, I like what she's doing artistically. Also, sometimes don't want to like get ahead of it and put somebody on before they really have something. But no, this was good. I was glad we did this then.
