Good food, good friends, and music! I can’t think of a better way to spend the day. Appreciate you taking the time to come in and do this, brother man 👍🏻
Hi James, now that is a compliment! We pretty much spent the whole day together. I really liked the holster he had for his .380! It was a self molding holster and it was pretty cool. I’d love to see you do a video on sidearm holsters sometime, brother man 👍🏻
Howdy Mate . . . Gerald sounded like a really sound guy. When I heard he grew up with Brooke, that put a big smile on my face. 😊 . . . . He plays a nice guitar, sings and writes well . . . I wish him all the very best. 🙏 What a great interview Randy. You're not a journalist (I think), but you could be. 🤷🏻♂. . . . I figure that's because of your nature, age and passion for music and in particular, guitars. 🤷🏻♂ A great upload Man! 👌 🎼 🎸 ☮
Howdy brother man, I feel the same way about Brooke, any friend of hers is a friend of mine. I always thought that Gerald had a lot of potential in that unique voice of his. He seems to have a great talent for writing, as well. Glad you enjoyed it and I’m way under qualified to be a journalist 😂, but your kind words sure put a smile on my face, my friend, Johnny L 👍🏻
Brother Randy and Gerald, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this interview. Gerald, you have a supreme talent. And I enjoyed hearing from a fellow victim of GAS (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome). Just a quick correction, I had a Martin D3, which is very similar in overall specs to the DM. Thanks again, for a great video! 🙏🙏
I knew I’d get that guitar wrong 😂. Thanks for clarifying. I love hearing how others draw their inspiration and listening to their journey, just as you do. Thanks to a fellow RU-vidr who has a great channel. Always appreciate you, brother man 👍🏻
Great interview Randy. I did not know the guy, and enjoyed getting to know him a bit. I'm mainly a Rock n Roll guy but this past couple of years I've been getting more in to alot of country, as I enjoy the story telling aspect of country music, which revolves alot around love, for sure lol, but also life rt now, and the things going on.
I went down the same path in my life. I still love some good ole Robert Plant, but as I’ve gotten older I am rediscovering the art of a great story, brother man 👍🏻 Gerald is a very good storyteller in song and that’s almost a lost art. Glad you enjoyed the interview, brother man and sorry for the delay in responding, but I just now saw this 👍🏻
Great video Randy and very good interview with Gerald. I loved his Alvarez too. You know me, I've got a soft spot for that brand. You take care and I'll talk to you soon.
@@GeraldSongWriterSinger That was very good music you did too. Just a very good interview. As Randy is aware, from our conversations, I too have an Alvarez and love it's sound. Mine is a newer one though. But it's all solid wood and sounds great ( it's the MD60BG).
Thank you friend! Alvarez makes a great guitar. The Martin DM we talked about my uncle wanted. At one point he offered to trade me a very early signed Yairi . I kind of regret not taking the offer. 😂.
I know you do have a soft spot for them! Thanks Dave, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch this. Having Gerald in was a great experience, brother man 👍🏻
Great interview mate. I love the idea of appreciating and chatting to 'ordinary (but talented) people' who make music. Gerald seems to be a great bloke! Keep them coming please. 👍 Regards, Dave
Hi David, I completely agree. Even famous musicians aren’t any different than us, it’s just that some of them don’t know it 😂. I love visiting with folks just like you and I and just letting the camera roll. I always appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Thanks again, brother man 👍🏻
Such a wonderful interview Randy. You have a special way, its real easy to get engrossed when your speaking. Gerald is an amazing artist & person. Very cool he was able to make the time & trip for this. Safe travels back home Gerald. Thanks again gentlemen, have a great week ✌😊
You are way too generous, Ms Heather, but we know you are sincere and that means the world to both of us. Gerald and I spent most of the day together and he’s just as you’d expect, a great guy. Thanks so much, Ms Heather 👍🏻
Oh you're very welcome Randy, all truth sir. That's so nice to hear ,you guys got to hang out. I'm sure there will be more times, since you live kinda close. Another great stream . Take care 😊✌
Thank you, Ms J-Lyn! It’s so much fun to interview folks like you and I. We both appreciate you taking the time to watch this whole interview. It’s lengthy, but hopefully entertaining, ma’am 👍🏻
Ya'll are the sweetest! Gerald, you have the same shirt in here, in this interview as the video you & I made together. 😅 Randy , i was wondering how you knew Gerald moved to TX. I had no idea you guys had done this interview & got to know each other. I love it. Would love to be there with you two. I'm gonna practice today. May not upload anything but I will practice. Best wishes to you sweet guys!! ❤❤❤❤
You are so sweet Brooke! Yes thanks for pointing out shirt! 😂. I told Randy I literally have 100 t shirts. So I laughed my a** off when I seen that. 😂 I wish you were here also. Be very cool for all of us to do a song together. Just move to Texas, ain’t no big deal. 😂. Take care my friend!
Hi Ms Brooke, he actually texted me and said, hey, we’re moving to Texas 😂. We’ve been talking for a few months now, mostly about guitars. It seemed very fitting, during editing, that I pull that particular video and insert it. By the way, did you notice the picture of his grandma in the window behind him during Ruby? It’s very subtle, but I faded it in to give the appearance of her watching him play that song.
@@randysrhythm I did notice that picture of Mrs. Ruby in the window. I figured Gerald had done that. You are savvy on the technology. Way more than I am. I was wondering how you knew he was moving to TX in the other comment. That is very cool. I would love to do a live video with us all. Let me know if you want to do that & how. Anyways, it was very entertaining & I was so giddy when I heard yall talking about where he & I are from. ☺️🥰❤️❤️
This had been the highlight of my day so far and it's been a pretty good day. Heather and I sat here and enjoyed the whole thing! I've heard all those Gerald songs you play too. They're all great ones! I could just keep going on and on. It was great seeing you two together. You seemed like good friends. Great interview Randy and Gerald!
Hey brother! Thank you my friend! I still want us to do a project together some time. If you think of a good song to do or idea. Let me know. Take care! Gerald
Brother Al, you nailed it, we are now good friends after meeting and spending some time together. Gerald is exactly as you’d expect, funny, entertaining and a talented guy. It means a lot that you and Heather sat down together to watch this, brother man 👍🏻 Keep on playing, Al 👍🏻
Thank goodness Gerald was there with me to correct your last name 😂. Apologize to your husband, please! How could I not include you, Ms Brooke? You were instrumental in Gerald continuing his music 👍🏻
@randysrhythm y'all are the sweetest! And you are forgiven, Randy. Enjoyed the video thoroughly!! Gonna go play some now. Just got my shopping done & now, my housewife chores. 😆
Wow, what an amazing new format you deliver here, randy!!! You dont know how much this means to so mamy of us. Gerald is such an exceptional talent that we habe arround us here. I know him for soooo sooo long and so many years. What a fun to see you together on screen. What a crazy ride to drive so many hours for a face to face Interview. This must have been so special for the bith of you!!! I could feel the respect and love in the room that you both was in. Really love that it does not feel that you edidet too much here, it really feels natural here how you let the interview go on here. Love everything about this ❤🎉😊❤
Hi Ms Julie, glad you were able to catch this interview with Gerald. I did not know you two were connected, so, very pleased to hear that! He’s a great guy, for sure. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this. If I ever get back to Germany, you are on the list, my friend! I’m really pleased to get your support and input for this format. More to come, I hope. Keep putting the music out, as you have such a beautiful voice and such a talented writer, ma’am 👍🏻
