This is Flea for this little light, the podcast about falling in love with music.

I started a nonprofit music school about 20 years ago called the Silverlake Conservatory

of Music, and the reason that I started doing this podcast was to benefit the school,

but it's specifically also about music education because every single person, I meet so many

musicians from someone who doesn't even know what a scale is or a eighth note to someone

who plays with the Philharmonic or someone who's a deeply sophisticated jazz musician,

and everybody has a different way.

Everyone has a different educational path, and every single one of them is so interesting,

fascinating to me, and so valid.

And this little light I'll be speaking with Rick Rubin.

Thundercat, Stuart Copeland, Margot Price, Corey Henry, Cynthia Arevo, Sheila E, one of my

favorite people on the entire planet, Patty Smith.

Do you remember when you first started listening to music and you knew what was making what

sound like, oh, that's the bass, that's the guitar, that's the saxophone?

No, I truthfully, I've never been like that.

I'm a performer.

I don't have the mindset of musician.

I'm not, my mind is filled with words, not so much sound or notes, but I'm moved by

music.

Please listen and follow this little light, a presentation of Cadence 13 on the Odyssey

app or wherever you get your podcasts.

I think we got it.
