Great to have you along, as today we will be speaking 10 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,620 to JAS Quintet saxophonist Joel Shotwell. 11 00:00:55,060 --> 00:01:00,280 They're going to be playing Saturday night in Flandreau at the Crystal Theater. Fun place to play. 12 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,520 Joel stopped by the Dipsy Doodle production studio this week before it became 13 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,460 the Dripsy Doodle studio. You see, there's this warmer weather, 14 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,180 you know, to get up a freezing that we all wanted so bad. 15 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,660 If you hear water dripping in the background, it's snow melting coming through the window. 16 00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:25,600 Thankfully, able to move audio equipment out of the way. 17 00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:30,860 And it could also be called the dripsy studio due to my runny nose. 18 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,480 Thank you so much. First cold of the year, said Mr. Sarcasm. Hmm. 19 00:01:36,165 --> 00:01:39,605 I do need to update you on a concern of mine. 20 00:01:39,925 --> 00:01:46,205 A couple of weeks back, I woke up with basically the equivalent of that big 21 00:01:46,205 --> 00:01:49,285 smoke monster from the TV show Lost in my right eye. 22 00:01:49,505 --> 00:01:54,025 That's how bad the floaters were and so forth, dust bunnies and stuff like that, 23 00:01:54,125 --> 00:01:57,985 you know, very limited vision and couldn't focus in on things. 24 00:01:58,165 --> 00:02:02,485 So I was hoping it would simply go away, as floaters typically do. 25 00:02:02,485 --> 00:02:06,865 So a few days later, I was able to get into the Sanford Optical Clinic because 26 00:02:06,865 --> 00:02:07,785 things weren't improving. 27 00:02:08,505 --> 00:02:11,605 And then a week after that, which would have been last Friday morning, 28 00:02:11,785 --> 00:02:16,685 the eye surgeon looked me straight in the eye. 29 00:02:17,685 --> 00:02:22,325 You'll like that pun intended, huh? And said there were four choices, 30 00:02:22,545 --> 00:02:28,425 two of which would have put me in the situation of maybe a 50% chance of going blind. 31 00:02:28,425 --> 00:02:33,725 So, I went with what was behind door number four, which was the whole shebang. 32 00:02:34,185 --> 00:02:41,605 So, here's the process. In order to prevent my left eye from possibly having the same issue, 33 00:02:41,845 --> 00:02:46,545 she lasered it, and I got injections in both eyes, and I got back, 34 00:02:46,585 --> 00:02:49,385 or I go back, rather, February 14th. 35 00:02:49,705 --> 00:02:54,505 And if the left eye is doing well, and the right eye has been clearing some, 36 00:02:54,765 --> 00:02:57,505 she will most likely laser that one. 37 00:02:58,425 --> 00:03:03,565 And while they do numb the area, there is still some pain involved with the laser. 38 00:03:03,725 --> 00:03:07,585 I made it through, didn't have to ask her to stop, but it's a different type 39 00:03:07,585 --> 00:03:11,485 of pain. Oh my, don't want to have to do it again, but I'm going to. 40 00:03:11,765 --> 00:03:15,565 Because if all goes well, I should have a restored vision. 41 00:03:16,265 --> 00:03:22,085 All right, in the meantime though, I can't drive or work. 42 00:03:22,845 --> 00:03:26,245 Typing, texting, reading, all quite difficult. 43 00:03:26,245 --> 00:03:32,945 I had to cancel trivia the past week, but hoping with the large screen TV and 44 00:03:32,945 --> 00:03:37,725 an iPad that I can put right in front of my eyes, I'll be able to make it through 45 00:03:37,725 --> 00:03:39,025 that this coming Monday. 46 00:03:39,365 --> 00:03:45,205 The heartbreaker, though, was having to bow out of being in this year's premiere premieres. 47 00:03:45,505 --> 00:03:50,645 Tough to memorize lines, and with balance and depth perception being off as 48 00:03:50,645 --> 00:03:54,025 well, blocking directions would have been very trying. 49 00:03:54,025 --> 00:04:00,125 Not to mention the fact that the day that they open would be a day after my 50 00:04:00,125 --> 00:04:02,025 next most likely eye surgery. 51 00:04:02,665 --> 00:04:07,965 But since I can still talk, a little bit at least, we trudge on with this show 52 00:04:07,965 --> 00:04:09,805 because at least I can talk. 53 00:04:10,165 --> 00:04:13,565 Joel Shotwell coming up in just a few minutes. 54 00:04:13,985 --> 00:04:17,305 But first, let's pop the cork on this bubbly little show. 55 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:55,280 Music. 56 00:04:55,124 --> 00:05:00,544 Whatever you're drinking, whatever you're drinking it from might very well be 57 00:05:00,544 --> 00:05:03,144 determined by where and when you're listening. 58 00:05:03,244 --> 00:05:09,584 My choice, my choice, of course, is a Jasper Newton Jack Daniels Diet Coke with Lime. 59 00:05:09,684 --> 00:05:13,624 For you, whether it's a cup of coffee, glass of milk, bottle of water, 60 00:05:13,884 --> 00:05:17,944 mug of beer or cocktail, glass of wine or a flute of champagne, 61 00:05:18,344 --> 00:05:23,004 lift it high and toast it to those that care. 62 00:05:23,004 --> 00:05:26,224 You know, those friends that wonder how you're doing. 63 00:05:26,524 --> 00:05:29,244 Ask if you need anything.

You know, I've been thinking about this the other day because I was 157 00:12:06,407 --> 00:12:10,527 listening to some Golden Oldies and there were some sax parts in it. 158 00:12:10,567 --> 00:12:13,787 And I know we always talk, you know, when you are around, it's usually we're 159 00:12:13,787 --> 00:12:21,147 talking talking jazz and who your saxophone influencers were from the jazz area and so forth. 160 00:12:21,227 --> 00:12:27,467 But are there some great solos on the saxophone that you hear from time to time 161 00:12:27,467 --> 00:12:32,727 in pop music that you go, Oh man, I got to do that. Yeah.

I know. 337 00:24:04,135 --> 00:24:07,295 Yeah. And he just sweet. He's always so chill. 338 00:24:07,395 --> 00:24:12,295 Yeah. Like he, like he, he handles things well, where I tend to get emotional. 339 00:24:12,695 --> 00:24:16,415 I let my emotions take over me sometimes. And then last but not least, 340 00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:18,795 Jimmy, on a professional level, 341 00:24:19,355 --> 00:24:22,735 we've like pretty much one of the first guys I played with when I moved back 342 00:24:22,735 --> 00:24:26,855 to Sioux Falls, like on a first guys that I was like, kind of like, 343 00:24:26,935 --> 00:24:29,975 oh, this, this guy is like, knows how to get gigs. 344 00:24:30,075 --> 00:24:35,455 And, and so, or he's like showing me that, oh yeah, if I, if I hustle too, 345 00:24:35,675 --> 00:24:41,135 I could probably do stuff also, you know, like, so I felt like I learned from him that way. 346 00:24:41,135 --> 00:24:47,775 And musically, we have grown up together in very formative years of our development. 347 00:24:47,915 --> 00:24:52,515 So, which on a professional level is really interesting and rare. 348 00:24:52,735 --> 00:24:58,195 And I never take it for granted that, and it's funny and we laugh, 349 00:24:58,375 --> 00:25:03,155 but it's also like a freaking miracle because we can do things wrong at the 350 00:25:03,155 --> 00:25:06,855 exact, we often will do it wrong at the exact same time, the exact same way. 351 00:25:07,855 --> 00:25:09,395 Rarely does one of us make a mistake. 352 00:25:10,592 --> 00:25:14,052 Not with the other person. And it's weird as hell. It's like, 353 00:25:14,092 --> 00:25:18,272 we've never played it that way before, but we did that time and we did it exactly together. 354 00:25:18,752 --> 00:25:22,072 When we're playing next to each other, we breathe together. 355 00:25:22,212 --> 00:25:25,612 It's like a unit because we play wind instruments too. It's a, 356 00:25:25,632 --> 00:25:29,452 it's a, it's a, it's really compelling. 357 00:25:30,332 --> 00:25:34,332 And it's a reason why we, people like this do it all the time. 358 00:25:34,492 --> 00:25:39,092 You know, like when you have a connection that deep, it's really amazing. 359 00:25:39,092 --> 00:25:42,232 Amazing like you know you get like it's almost like a form of 360 00:25:42,232 --> 00:25:46,252 like group meditation but with 361 00:25:46,252 --> 00:25:50,152 him it's so odd because there's a clear thing 362 00:25:50,152 --> 00:25:54,712 happening that you could no science could explain i don't think yet today you 363 00:25:54,712 --> 00:25:58,592 know what i mean right well quarks you know we know that the word chemistry 364 00:25:58,592 --> 00:26:05,312 is yeah yeah that's the thing there's magic we know that you know with some 365 00:26:05,312 --> 00:26:06,252 Some physics or whatever, 366 00:26:06,432 --> 00:26:10,892 like, you know, you can alter a cork here and it will alter the cork across 367 00:26:10,892 --> 00:26:12,432 the world or anywhere in the universe. 368 00:26:12,932 --> 00:26:16,692 Like that has to be happening on a musical level. And I don't mean that lightly, 369 00:26:16,792 --> 00:26:19,732 but something like that has to be happening. 370 00:26:19,772 --> 00:26:23,812 There's no other explanation for it unless the processing in our brain is just 371 00:26:23,812 --> 00:26:26,112 that amazing, which it might be. Who knows? 372 00:26:26,232 --> 00:26:29,452 Yeah.

Mm-hmm. 385 00:27:08,675 --> 00:27:12,595 And sometimes it's a matter of whoever wrote the tune just kind of wants to 386 00:27:12,595 --> 00:27:14,875 know what it feels like in that context. 387 00:27:15,535 --> 00:27:20,335 So we'll rehearse when there's new material like that, or if it's been a while, 388 00:27:20,395 --> 00:27:24,775 you know, or like if we can like just get together to play some new stuff, we will do that. 389 00:27:24,855 --> 00:27:29,455 We generally don't, unless we have a guest, like we had Andrea Ross. 390 00:27:29,635 --> 00:27:32,455 Yes.

And it's hard to like, I feel like this just kind of waking up into doing work, good work again. 505 00:34:39,671 --> 00:34:45,251 It's hard to reset after a big project like the last one I had because I did 506 00:34:45,251 --> 00:34:46,991 a couple of projects with Mark Romanowski too. 507 00:34:47,551 --> 00:34:51,551 Who still has to be on this show. Yeah. He was just on the street too. That's right. 508 00:34:52,311 --> 00:34:56,331 But yeah, there will be stuff. I'm just trying to figure out what. 509 00:34:56,511 --> 00:34:59,431 Okay. Well, we look forward to it no matter what. Well, thank you. 510 00:34:59,491 --> 00:35:01,311 All right. And so you know the trick. 511 00:35:01,411 --> 00:35:04,851 Usually there's two questions that I ask at the end, but since you've been on 512 00:35:04,851 --> 00:35:10,531 enough and it is a new year, let's kind of go this way since you led into it 513 00:35:10,531 --> 00:35:13,431 perfectly by talking about getting recharged and so forth. 514 00:35:13,611 --> 00:35:17,471 Yes. Are you a resolutions person or a goal setter? 515 00:35:18,111 --> 00:35:23,111 Hmm. No, I don't set resolutions because I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. 516 00:35:23,351 --> 00:35:31,051 See, that's me. Yeah. And I don't, I don't set goals until I know I can execute them. 517 00:35:31,571 --> 00:35:37,611 So I will have a possibility of a goal in mind, but I won't commit to it until 518 00:35:37,611 --> 00:35:41,091 the commitment has to happen. If that makes sense. 519 00:35:42,291 --> 00:35:46,151 See, for me, I'm one of those that I don't do resolution because you're right. 520 00:35:46,231 --> 00:35:49,291 You know, usually within two weeks, everyone has broken the resolution. 521 00:35:49,291 --> 00:35:53,571 But if you have a goal, you get to the end of the year and you can mark off 522 00:35:53,571 --> 00:35:55,931 which ones you did and did not. Sure. 523 00:35:56,011 --> 00:36:02,811 And then you can say, okay, were we, you know, overshooting on what we should 524 00:36:02,811 --> 00:36:03,951 have been doing here on this one? 525 00:36:04,151 --> 00:36:07,831 Is it something that's still attainable next year? Sure. Is it okay that it's 526 00:36:07,831 --> 00:36:09,611 next year and it didn't happen this year? 527 00:36:09,691 --> 00:36:13,151 And you can look at it in a variety of ways instead of beating yourself up. 528 00:36:13,271 --> 00:36:15,071 Absolutely. Yeah. I like that. 529 00:36:15,311 --> 00:36:18,031 Yeah. And that's kind of the way that I go. But, uh, you know, 530 00:36:18,031 --> 00:36:22,651 I guess I have lists, you know, so a similar thing, I guess I don't think of 531 00:36:22,651 --> 00:36:25,551 them like goals, but that's good. Good point. They are goals. 532 00:36:25,811 --> 00:36:29,271 They're like, and I just look and see what I can accomplish and what I can't. 533 00:36:29,271 --> 00:36:31,371 And maybe the, the like, yeah. Okay. 534 00:36:31,491 --> 00:36:37,111 I even added a new section to everything for 2024 of work toward. 535 00:36:37,471 --> 00:36:41,131 Sure. Yeah. Not just, you know, here's a goal. You got to get this done or not. 536 00:36:41,451 --> 00:36:44,491 That's a good idea. Toward. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. 537 00:36:45,071 --> 00:36:48,391 So looking forward to that, but always look forward to seeing you on stage. Yeah. 538 00:36:48,471 --> 00:36:53,791 And the people that you were with, obviously, are just top notch as well. So fantastic stuff. 539 00:36:54,091 --> 00:36:57,671 All right. You did say, you know, you were competitive in sports. 540 00:36:58,729 --> 00:37:03,349 What sports were you in? I was in bowling, fast pitch, softball, 541 00:37:03,529 --> 00:37:06,769 football, wrestling, basketball. 542 00:37:07,469 --> 00:37:11,169 I would have been in any sport that I could have been in. 543 00:37:11,209 --> 00:37:15,509 But there's some that just didn't work, you know, because you just only so much 544 00:37:15,509 --> 00:37:18,229 time, I guess, when you're a kid and your parents only have so much money, 545 00:37:18,309 --> 00:37:20,449 you know. I had you pegged as a wrestler. 546 00:37:20,649 --> 00:37:24,229 Oh, really? Yeah. Yes, which I was as well. That's awesome. We should wrestle. 547 00:37:24,349 --> 00:37:28,069 You want to wrestle? Oh, we can do it. I can't care down to arm wrestling at this age, though. 548 00:37:28,809 --> 00:37:32,269 Thumb wrestling. And I'm taking a look at your arms going, oh shit, I won't win. 549 00:37:33,529 --> 00:37:36,669 Thumb wrestle, we'll do that. Okay, we can handle that. All right. 550 00:37:37,049 --> 00:37:40,149 Joel Shotwell. So Saturday night, what time? 551 00:37:40,529 --> 00:37:46,629 7.30. 7.30 in Flandreau at the Crystal Theater. How do we get tickets and how much are they? 552 00:37:46,849 --> 00:37:50,489 I think they're only 10 bucks at the door. 10 or 15 if you go to the Crystal 553 00:37:50,489 --> 00:37:54,889 Theater website, I think they're on there. Yeah, I know. I'm like, that's pretty awesome. 554 00:37:55,049 --> 00:37:58,869 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so it's a great little venue, too. 555 00:37:59,009 --> 00:38:03,169 Really cool spot.
