0:00.0	Singer Bucky heard of the righteous brothers and well known vocal coach and really nice
0:11.4	all-round guy is our guest on Music Matters episode 16 of season 2 with Darryl Craig Harris.
0:19.4	Hey Bucky, how you doing? Hello Darryl, how are you, my man? I'm good. Yeah, we're
0:33.3	both in Vegas, but because of COVID and scheduling stuff, we're doing the Zoom boogie.
0:37.3	I can open the window when you're like, if you'd like. Yeah, probably so. Yeah. How are
0:43.8	you doing these days? Like, I obviously the COVID thing has been challenging and you've

1:52.1	that as well. And even in the Great Depression, people would spend what little money they had
1:56.8	to go to a movie just to get away. And so when this happened, here we are wanting to step
2:03.0	up and the rug kind of got pulled out under us because there's never experienced anything like this.
2:08.9	But like you said, on the silver lining, I've started to do an online teaching. We've written a lot
2:14.4	of music, put together a duo with a buddy of mine, John Wiedemeyer in town that played guitar
