From the sunlit foothills of Northern California, Pat Walsh welcomes listeners to another episode of Pat's Peeps podcast with his signature warmth and authenticity. What begins as a simple morning routine – coffee, yard work, and tackling the dreaded mail pile – quickly transforms into a delightful exploration of life's small pleasures and challenges.

As Pat attempts to multitask by smoking a cigar during recording (spoiler alert: it doesn't go well), he shares his disappointment about missing the Lyrid meteor shower despite his seemingly perfect forest viewing location. "I live out in the forest where you can see all the stars," he laments, only to discover his path lighting created too much ambient glow to spot any celestial visitors.

The heart of this episode reveals Pat's passionate commitment to supporting local enterprise through his Pat's Peeps marketplace. Listeners are treated to a showcase of extraordinary small businesses offering exclusive deals – from DC Floral Design's wooden flower arrangements to Ternero Farms' olive oil tastings and Melissa Moon's transformative wellness services. Each business comes with a compelling story and substantial savings for podcast listeners who mention Pat's Peeps when connecting.

What makes this episode particularly fascinating is Pat's clever deep dive into public domain music. He expertly explains copyright intricacies while treating listeners to vintage 1920s tunes from Ruth Edding, Helen Kane, and Duke Ellington – creating the perfect soundtrack for his small business promotions. The episode wraps with fascinating "this day in history" facts about April 22nd across different eras, from baseball's earliest days to significant world events.

Whether you're looking to support local businesses, enjoy a nostalgic musical journey, or simply spend time with a warm, engaging host who feels like a friend, this episode delivers an experience as rich and inviting as that morning coffee Pat can't start his day without.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Well, here we are once again.

We just keep rolling along, myfriends.
Thank you for rolling with us.
Tuesday, april 22nd 2025.
Today I look out the studiowindows into the beautiful

(00:36):
foothills of Northern California, where the sunshine is
absolutely gorgeous.
It is another lovely day, Itell you, a beautiful, inspiring
day.
Hope it is for you as well.
I today was able to get up andhave a couple of cups.
That's my little rule A coupleof cups of coffee Before I do

(00:58):
anything.
Got to have my coffee, then outthis morning to do some more
yard work, which consistedessentially of piling up my
firewood, which is in one area.
Then I had to relocate it toanother area.
So, a good workout.
In doing that, two birds onestone.
Because it was a good workoutand because I was productive.

(01:20):
Also, bag of mail.
I hate going through.
I have to admit I don't likegoing through mail.
It's bad, it's uh, I don't knowwhat it is about mail.
There's two things I don'treally like.
Well, there's more than that Icould go.
I got a whole.
Let me see.
I get a whole list here.
Where do I start?
No, um, ah, I can't believe it.

(01:44):
I'm smoking a cigar for thefirst time in a while.
I just got ashes everywhere.
I don't know.
I didn't.
I don't know if I'm gonnacontinue with the cigars.
Two things I don't, uh, don'tlike doing.
I don't like mail.
I don't like dealing with mail.
I don't know again, I don'tknow what that is.
And the other thing thing istaxes, mail and taxes.
Now I've got to clean up allthese ashes.

(02:05):
Can you imagine Everything wasgoing so perfect.
I've learned that you can'tsmoke a cigar while you're doing
a podcast.
I always think, gee, it'd be socool if I could do my talk show
.
By the way, pat Walsh, my nameis Pat Walsh.
I'm the host of my own talkshow when I can't do this.

(02:32):
It's the Pat Walsh Show, whereyou cannot smoke cigars.
By the way, the podcast istariff free.
Everyone's welcome here, tarifffree.
But you can't smoke and do apodcast.
It's not easy, see.
And then I got to stop and I gotto take a puff.
You're like, why did he pauseright there?
Why did he pause Anyhow?
So I don't know if I'm going tokeep going down this road with
the cigars, but anyone see themeteor shower last night?

(02:57):
The meteor shower it wassupposed to go from 10 pm to 4
am.
Anyone go out and look at it?
Last night they said to lay allthe way on your back and stare
up into the sky, just gaze, andthen at some point, of course,
you can't have any light, youcan't have your phone on any of
that kind of stuff and you haveto be in a dark area to see it.

(03:19):
And I always think you know myhouse is perfect.
I live out in the forest, I canlook up, I have this, as you
can see all the stars up here.
But the problem is I do have asort of like an old-fashioned
street light on my, uh, my stonelittle path that I put in
coming up to my front door and,uh, it just put off too much

(03:39):
light.
I could.
I was not able to see anymeteors.
I went out a few times.
I couldn't see anything.
It's a solar light.
I couldn't anyhow, it's a wholething.
Anyone else see it?
Anyone even go out and try?
Did anyone even know that itwas even going on?

(04:02):
The Lyrid is it the Lyrid?
Who am I talking to?
Lyrid, meteors, whatever?
So I did not get to.
I did not get in on the mediashower.
I don't think they're gonnahave that again till uh, 2042 is
what I?
Uh what as I understand it.
Hey, by the way, you know what,today I I thought it'd be really

(04:24):
cool because I'm always tellingyou about my little business
aspect of this.
I thought it'd be really greatto kind of show you or tell you
about a couple things here, andnow I'm starting to get all
mixed up on some things, likeyou know.
For instance, look, I playlittle bits of music because I

(04:45):
want to air quotes, educateabout the song, which I do.
I want to tell people about themusic and who's behind it and
all that.
I know that some of you alreadyprobably know some of the facts
, thus the air quotes, but, um,so I don't know.
I just I don't want to mentionbusinesses that are necessarily

(05:07):
signed up for Pat's Peeps.
I'm trying to walk that fineline and I'm not trying to use
anyone's music to sell anything.
I'm not trying to do that inany way, shape or form.
By the way, I did notice.
Just I'm going to go off on atangent here for a second.
I noticed yesterday on thepodcast.
I did not post it on any of myFacebook platforms.
I will go back and I will postit, probably on Pat's Peeps,

(05:31):
because that's what it's for.
On Facebook we have a Pat'sPeeps page and I'm going to
start including more things onthere as well.
But you guys have listened asmuch today as you would have if
I would have posted it on my, onmy social media.
So, wow, thank you.

(05:51):
So now what it tells me is thatyou're looking it up rather
than just going.
Oh, I see this on Pat'sFacebook page and I certainly
don't want to tire anyone outwith posting that every day.
I just kind of want people toknow what's out there.
But the fact you're finding itmakes me very happy.
So, thank you.
But thank you for that, but Idon't want to.
I don't want to get anythingtangled up, anyone going.

(06:12):
Oh well, you're playing thismusic and you're promoting this.
Look, all I'm trying to do ispromote local business and and
provide a almost a daily I sayalmost a daily podcast that is
an extension of my radio show,the Pat Walsh Show, kpk,
sacramento, 7 to 10 pm, 93.1 FM,1530 am.

(06:33):
That's all I'm trying to do andyou know I'm always telling you
about the businesses, like ifyou go to Pat's Peeps, about the
businesses.
The businesses Like, if you goto Pat's Peeps, about the
businesses.
And then so I started thinking,because we have so many cool
things going on, I wanted totell you about it.

(06:55):
Then I started thinking, so I'mgoing to tie this all together.
Then I started thinking I'lltie it together on Pat's Peeps
247.
You could use public domainmusic Public domain.
Now, what is public domain?

(07:15):
Maybe you know Puff off thecigar.
So public domain is anythingwhich is legal, which legally
has no owner, is said to be inthe public domain.
Once there was even a publicdomain land which, by the way,

(07:35):
fun place, a fun place to takethe kids during the summer.
All right, kids load up, we'regoing to public domain land.
Yay, this is just a verypopular place back in the day,
anyhow.
But now public domain is prettymuch limited to intellectual
property where copyrightprotection has expired or the
creator has formally given hiswork to the public.

(07:58):
So there is no quote, officiallist of public domain property,
because something becomes publicdomain due to the absence of
any law giving anyone claim toownership.
In effect, as I sum this up, ifno one on this entire planet
can find any law which givesthem.
Legal claim to a property, thenthat property is in the public

(08:23):
domain.
Now we could get into theintellectual property, which is
stimulating conversation I'msure you want to get deep into
that Any product of the humanintellect where ownership can be
claimed and protected by law.
We could get into all thecopyright stuff.

(08:43):
Yes, where you have a copyrightwhich is limited duration,
monopoly, blah, blah, blah,provided by the US Constitution
to authors, inventors and othercreative individuals, absolutely
, god bless America.
There's royalties and all this,but things under public domain.

am I going to do?
Because what kind of music am Igoing to play?
Well, I started going into thepublic domain.
Now, this is how it kind ofworks.
So, public domain, how can Iexplain this?
So any song or musical workpublished in 1929 or earlier is

(15:00):
in the public domain in the USA.
Sound recordings releasedbefore 1926 are public domain in
the USA on January 1st of 2025.
Now, if you wanted to go backto songs, let's say 1928, for
instance, here's the kind ofmusic we're talking.
This is the kind of music.

(15:22):
This is actually 1929.
So I'm probably still not inthe public domain here.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Oh, listen, big boy, now that I've talked to me,
goodness but I'm afraid.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
But I can play like 30 seconds of it.
That's awesome music.
By the way, ruth Edding, buttonup your overcoat.
Wow, remember that song.
Button up your overcoat,remember that, remember that
song.
Button up your overcoat,remember that.

(15:58):
Button up your overcoat whenthe wind is free.
That's in public domain.
Good, take good care ofyourself.
You belong to me.
Here's one Helen Kane.
I want to be loved by you Again.

(16:18):
This might not even be.
I might have made a mistake.
No, okay, no see, because nowlet me clear this up, I didn't
make any mistakes, because hereit is Now.
Hold on a second.
I'm sorry, I apologize, hang onthere.
So 1928 songs, okay, werepublic domain as of January 1st

(16:42):
of 2024.
1929 songs are public domain asof this January 2025.

(21:30):
Duke Ellington and hisorchestra 1928, my friends, by
the way.
It got me to thinking about thisday in history.

(21:51):
What happened on this day inhistory?
Let's take a look On this dayin history.
April 22nd 1876, the firstNational League baseball game
was played.
How about that?
Boston Redcaps beat thePhiladelphia Athletics 6-5 in
the first National Leaguebaseball game.

(22:12):
The game, which lasted a littlemore than two hours, played in
favorable weather before 3,000fans at the Athletics grounds,
25th and Jefferson Streets.
Great interest was manifestedin the result, according to the
Philadelphia Inquirer, as itreally was the first game of
importance played this season,says the Athletics should have

(22:34):
won the game, according to thenewspaper, but their fielding
was poor.
Betting on the game was aboutgame, according to the newspaper
, but their fielding was poor.
Betting on the game was abouteven, according to the Inquirer.
While this was the firstofficial National League game,
the teams were not the first inprofessional baseball.
First pro team was the 1869Cincinnati Red Stockings.
Nor was the NL the first majorprofessional baseball league.

(22:56):
Nor was the NL the first majorprofessional baseball league.
The first league was theNational Association of
Professional Baseball Players,formed in 1871.
Meanwhile, other stuff fromtoday.
On this date, the Oklahoma landrush began.
The Oklahoma land rush began,the Oklahoma land rush.

(23:19):
Precisely high noon, thousandsof would-be settlers made a mad
dash to the newly openedOklahoma Territory to claim
cheap land.
Nearly two million acres ofland opened up to the white
settlement was located in IndianTerritory, a large area that
once encompassed much ofmodern-day Oklahoma.
It's a great tune, diggy, diggydo.

(24:07):
Duke Ellington and hisorchestra in 1928.
There's a couple of other thingsthat happened on this date in
history.
Uh one, oh geez.
Other things that happened onthis date in history.
One the Germans in 1915, april22nd 1915, the Germans

(24:30):
introduced poison gas.
Dark day, dark day in history.
April 22nd 1915.
German forces shocked the alliedfor soldiers along the western
front, firing more than 150 tonsof lethal chlorine gas against
two french colonial divisions inbelgium the first major gas

(24:54):
attack by the Germans and itdevastated the Allied line.
Toxic smoke had been usedoccasionally in warfare since
ancient times and in 1912, theFrench used small amounts of
tear gas in police operations.
At the outbreak of World War I,the Germans began actively to
develop chemical weapons.
October 1914, the Germansplaced some small tear gas

(25:17):
canisters in shells.
They were fired in France.
Allied troops were not exposedat the Neuve Chapel in France.
In January 1915, the Germansfired shells loaded with with

(25:38):
lethal gas at Russian troops onthe Eastern Front.
Because of the wintry cold,most of the gas froze.
The Russians nonethelessreported more than 1,000 killed
as a result of this new weapon.
Anyhow.
And then in a bizarre I meanit's just amazing that when you

(26:06):
read some of the things thathappened, you know in this day
in the history, ohiocriminalizes seduction by male
teachers.
Ohio passed a statute.
This was let me see, this wasin 1886.
Can you imagine?
1886 passed a statute thatcriminalizes seduction by all

(26:29):
men over the age of 18 whoworked as teachers or
instructors of women.
The law even prohibited menfrom having consensual sex with
women of any age whom they wereinstructing, and the penalty for
disobeying this law ranged fromtwo to ten years in prison.
The Ohio seduction law was notthe first of its kind.
Virginia law made it illegalfor a man to have a sex in

(26:56):
intimate relations with anyunmarried female of previous.
Excuse me, excuse me, a man didso by promising to marry the
girl.
If the man did so, by promotingpromising to marry the girl.
So, in other words, if you hadsex because you promised to

(27:16):
marry her, that was the wholething.
1848, new York law made itillegal, under the promise of
marriage, to seduce anyunmarried female a previous
character, excuse me.
Anyhow, let's see what else dowe have.
1928, crazy Rhythm.
Here's Roger Wolf Kahn CrazyRhythm.

(27:41):
This is in public domain.
We are looking for morebusinesses.
I'll tell you what at the Pat'sPeeps, we don't want everyone,
we just want people that arelocal, that are doing really,
really good things.
That's who we're looking for.
So I hope you don't mind metalking about the businesses

(28:03):
today.
I really, you know, and I didit right, I played public domain
, so I'm going to leave it atthis.
On this podcast, which I lovethis, by the way.
You know what I'd love to hearthis on a 78 record, old
fashioned turntable 78, whereyou can kind of hear the cracks
and the pops in it a little bit.

(28:24):
I just think it adds character,particularly to this type of
music.
If you'd like to be a PatsPeeps business, let us know.
We would love to talk to you.
I hope that you have awonderful day, a wonderful

(28:49):
Tuesday.
I thank you for listening andwe'll see you on the radio.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
Here is where we have a showdown.
I'm too high-hat, you're toolow-down.
Crazy rhythm, here's goodbye toyou.
They say that when a highbrowmeets a lowbrow walking along
Broadway, Soon the highbrow, hehas no brow.
Ain't it a shame?
And you're to blame.
What's the use of prohibition?

(29:18):
You produce the same condition.
Crazy rhythm, I've gone crazytoo.
