Make me a deal in, make it good for me.

I won't get full of myself, I can't afford to be.

This is small town music, this is big town music.

He's ahead of his time, you know, but he can't use it.

If only he could prove it.

Well, tomorrow's just a song away. but he can't use it. Funny he could prove it.

Well, tomorrow's just a songway, a songway, a songway, a songway.

Hey, everybody, welcome to Rock Solid, the comedy podcast for All Things Music, both new and classic.

I'm Pat Francis, and this week I'm going at it alone for our Patreon episode called Take Me to the Top.

Now, full disclosure, it's Wednesday, January 11th.

This thing drops tonight at 1 a.m.

And I waited for the last minute.

In fact, I had teased in some places that this week's episode would be a Blues Brothers episode with Mike Schmidt, which I was going to record yesterday.

But this week, I met my parents in Pennsylvania visiting my mom, who I'm visiting everybody, but my mom has broken hip

and she's doing good in rehab. So that's all cool. More about that in a second. But I had

teased that I was going to do an episode with Mike Schmidt and that was a little overzealous

because I would have had to put a time limit on it and as Mike Schmidt always tells

me why are we putting a time limit on fun and I feel like a Blues Brothers episode that thing

really is to it. It was a lot in there. So please enjoy a Patreon episode with the topic.

Take me to the top.

All right.

So, in Pennsylvania, again, Wednesday, June 11th, I got here Monday.
