7:37yeah no back and then the sun no i mean you know the bend taylor ban was really just an attempt to understand that they have to have um... and you know that was all right but then i ended up getting on stage with bands and and these songs which were really brought into it nice to be playing that way with your mom as well just solo who's there absolutely cool very nice maybe i'm gonna get a bad and on a couple of songs for this uh... but i'm i'm a little bit of a dynamic you know it's also nice when you get like a

8:22if you if you play in a room that the bar at the back yeah and i hear you quiet definitely how can we start the record off of that song with nothing i can do uh... i just thought it was i thought it stood up pretty well i like the introduction to it that uh... that guitar that little guitar descending guitar position and i think that was the first one that i wrote for the album i've had around for cool talk about a whole bunch of stuff uh... with then taylor in a little bit want to play another song uh... an older one will put we'll get to some new stuff off the record as well but i've been a fan for a long time so i want to play safe enough to wake up and uh... what do you think when you hear that song if you have to wake up years and i haven't played that here it is eighty eight point three

10:52and and

12:47eighty eight point three c j i q yes or bend tailors safe enough to wake up speaking with the man himself on the phone i'm sure you've been asked this question quite a bit but uh... i feel the need to ask it again it must have been a lot of effort before that i might have the standard better chance of having a good answer must have been a lot of pressure when you first started playing i mean obviously with both your parents james taylor karly simon huge musical forces in the in the past fifty years do you still feel pressure to play uh... pressure to play pressure uh... just even to live up to expectations i mean obviously you've you started your own career you do quite well for yourself but you still a little bit of pressure yeah i mean the expectation living up to the expectation i think that i've been i've been lucky and the patient better come from that can be a

13:46your parents listening records at all my mom can't take it out of the city already yet to the key that's awesome my old man i don't know i don't know really yeah i never never been a big big and classical music please and i was quite quiet while i know kind of guy who well makes sense i guess on the cover rolling stone a couple months ago with all the other rockstar kids
