Please welcome an old friend, Rosie.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's up, Elliott?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Hey? How are you?
Speaker 4 (00:10):
I'm doing great, man, I'm doing great. Thank you for
playing the song.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Absolutely, I will tell you this and I I, Oh god,
I hope Tony's not sitting next to you.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
You are so much better than he is.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Oh God, it's just different flavor, man, It's different flavor.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
How I was trying to think yesterday, Rosie, how I
can't even remember how long it's been since I've seen you.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
It's that we will stop doing music like nine years ago,
nine years the past.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Right, so I mean nine and a half, ten years,
it's got to be somewhere around there.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
The well, let me let me start here.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
First of all, I love I love that you guys
are back and doing the doing this show. And we'll
get to that in a second, but let me let
me ask us to begin with, how are you.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm great, man. I've been working my ass off.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I'm trying to get ready for the show and it's
been good, and I'm it's it's funny because it's like
I think I might be the healthiest.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I've ever been.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
After all of that that went down, you know, we
all of a sudden, everything was cancer, cancer and help
became the big focus. And then so over the past
few years and stuff, I've just I'm just a healthy,
no food weird. I got a lot of energy, and
my bridges are a little smaller than they used to be,
(01:31):
and you know, so I'm doing great and I'm really
excited to get back out there and see people. Man.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Sure, like when the COVID thing happened to you know.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
We were all up in our houses and I was
deep up in my house because I'm kind of a
homebody anyway, right, and so just the prospect of getting
out and being with their body is wonderful.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I can't wait to see every body.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Hey, do you do you mind if I go back
to twenty fifteen. I don't. I don't. I don't want
to be a downer and bring it up if you
don't want to.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
No, you can bring up whatever you want to.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So it's it's twenty fifteen, and correct me if I'm wrong,
Like obviously Rosie Soul is playing all around the area
and doing well and probably and you'll correct me if
I'm wrong based on memory.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
But like the last three four five years, you.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Know, leading up to let's say, let's say twenty ten
to twenty fifteen, Rosie Soul is killing it.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Like it could not be a better time for you, guys.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
It was a whole lot of fun because we you know,
we started, the places that we were playing were still
kind of these smaller intimate things and people will just
pack up in there and it's sweaty and in smoky
sometimes and it was.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Just so fun.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
It was it was just like this continuous party thing
going on there for a while, and it was wonderful, right.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And then twenty fifteen hits and you were diagnosed with
breast cancer? Yes, what was the And I'm and I
remember I remember obviously you being diagnosed. I remember you
guys had kind of like that that I don't want
to say that last show, but I well, it was.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It was in twenty fifteen. It was the it was
the last show.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
And then and then like you said, then then it
all became about about your health.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah it did.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
And like when we left, I really was kind of like, Okay,
I guess maybe I'm done with performing, you know, I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
For a little bit after they're like, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Saying blues every once in a while I might show
up someone with the blues band and just sing a
couple of songs, you know, But I thought, yeah, music
was just kind of it was done at that point,
and we were real satisfied with, you know, what we'd
done and the music and the people we met and
got into connect with and stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
So it was good. Now, really that was going to
be it? Really? Hey, and is there is?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
There? Is there a and I and I mean this
with no just respect to anybody who's who's had any
type of cancer, but you'll you'll certainly read about people
or we all know people where some some that go
that that that are diagnosed and go through the treatment.
Some in some cases it's much worse than it is
(04:18):
in the other cases.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Right, that is absolutely how how was how was yours?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
It?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Honestly, we caught it so early it could have been
tremendously worse, and but we caught it so early we
were able to just jump right on it. It was
pretty straightforward, you know, and then it was just kind
of kind of done. And that's not the case for
a lot of people. For a lot of people years
and years and there can be recurrence and I've just
(04:47):
been very, very lucky that we jumped on it and
then we took care of it and it has not returned.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So but that is that is not the case for
a lot of folks out.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
There, because I was I was looking at something yesterday
and it was talking to out that that last show
that you guys did, which is going to bring us
full circle to now. Yeah, but that was really kind
of an awareness show.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Maybe that's the wrong term, but it was.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
You became a very big advocate, very very quickly of
get your mammograms, get yourself checked, know what's going on
with your body.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yes, because see I had skipped several years and just
had not gone to a doctor, had not him mammogram,
but anything like that. And I was talking to my husband,
Jamie Lloyd. He's in the band with us, he's the
guitarist and kind of the brains behind everything.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And I was He found out that I had not
gone in.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
For a mammogram for a good while, and he was like,
what are you doing. You got to go in and
do it. So I said, yes, baby, okay, So I did,
and because.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Of that we caught it.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Otherwise I don't know if it was left up to
amount of viament.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Where we would be with it, but so that it
really kind of woke me up, and so we wanted
to tell everybody, not only the ladies but the husband's
and the boyfriends and girlfriends. Encourage your person man, tell
them to go in and be aware and see what's up,
because it's way different if you catch it early then
if you catch it late. So that's yeah, that's why
(06:12):
it became really important, really fast.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, sure, oh absolutely, And it's funny.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
There's a uh, there's a there's a video and that
I was watching and and and again. It talks about how,
you know, like you were like that show you you
were so so much a voice of go do this,
go do this, I believe the show or or one
of the one of the videos I saw was you
performing at Sharky's and then I was like, oh, oh
(06:38):
my god, Sharkis.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, that's one of them little sweaty dark places I
was talking about.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
So so so you you you you go through treatment
and then you you I feel like I cut you off.
You were talking about like you would show up at
like a blues bar every so often.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Every once in a while, but it was it just
to kind of sing a little bit, and then I
actually I just went silent for years as far as
music went, didn't sing none of that. Actually, it's funny,
it's so timely. I listened to you a little bit
earlier today. You were talking about pet insurance, right, and
so one of the things that came up during this
(07:19):
time that I was away from music was I inadvertently
got into animal rescue, and so currently I have twelve
rescue animals. Are you here, and yes, I'll tell you
how it started, because it's weird. I one day a
white pigeon showed up at my house and then proceeded
to follow me around for like three or four days.
(07:41):
Every time I walk outside, he's standing in front of
my door, or he's standing on the top of the car,
until finally I got the message that apparently he's going
to live here.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So I got him a girlfriend. I found another.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Little lost home and pigeon and got my girlfriend, got
him a little aviary apartment, and so now they love
and to all day long.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And then it kept going.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Now got seven guinea pigs, and I've got two bunny rabbits,
and I've got one little hamster named Kevin, who is delightful.
Kevin's got this weird quality that I'm just going to
tell you about because it's too good. Kevin's balls are
like two thirds of his body. Did you know that
(08:24):
about hamsters?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I did not know. I didn't know how Orybus the
hamster earld was. But yeah, so he's this delightful.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Little thing, just drags them around and does this little
hanster wonderful man. But I looked into pet insurance and
I absolutely cannot afford it because it's per animal right
right right, So it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
So we just you know, something goes wrong, we just
bite the bullet.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
But Rosie, I'll tell you what there is.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You you've had a fascinating life going all the way
back to when you were any bitty little Rosie and
run it off to Nashville. But I feel like every
time there's something that comes up, a little piece of
that onion comes back and you're like, oh god, damn,
look at Rosie.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
There's been some weird stuff along the line, but it all,
you know, all of this stuff, everything that happens, and
sometimes it's not ideal, or we don't think it's ideal.
But somehow it always works out. Even the hardest mess
seems to prepare you for whatever is coming down the.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Road, you know hard Was this harder than anything else
you'd gone through?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Actually no, I would say I think probably the hardest
thing I went through. And this is a huge, long
story and it's another weird one too, but I did.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I lost twins, right, I had.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
The thing happened some years ago where it's it's a
condition that happens my doctor told me, is like one
in fifty thousan people. And this happened where I had
when I was pregnant with twins, and one was called
a cardiac twin.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
So one did not develop.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
But the healthy one, Lennox is what her name is,
was keeping the other one's body alive because they were
connected like three vessels in the placenta. Sure, and it's
this weird it's a weird thing. But so anyway, that
long story short, they did not make it. I went
through a little surgery thing to try to help it
(10:31):
out and you know, fix what was going on, and couldn't.
So that one was you know, that was the first
time I was having, you know, little babies and say,
that's a big you know, turn in a corner, real
fast shot kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Oh sure, of course that was harder.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
And even even with that, my god, you know the experience,
I always just feel thankful that it kind of lets
me know that you can go through life and travel
light no matter what comes down the past.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
You know what I mean, Because it's Michael be ideal.
There's going to be stuff, sure, but if you can.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Kind of keep some gratitude in you and just relaxed,
life is going to floats it through it.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And so you did stuff. You know, I don't mean
to get nan. You got me all, let me, let
me talk about it, let's preach about it.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah no, well let's get back to those hamsters balls
and turn some things around.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Okay, So how does it? How does it end up?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Now?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
So now let's fast forward a little bit.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
So Rosie Soul is going to be at rock rewind
Fest September thirteenth and fourteenth, a two day festival at
the at Richmond Harley Davidson Lost Tiger Pavilion.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
You're headlining the show on September fourteenth.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
All that is great, All that is awesome, But get
me to the point where you like Okay, so it's
been I don't know, let's call it almost ten years.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Now it's time to go.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah, you know, I can't explain it because the idea
came up a few times through the years, but the
time it just didn't feel right. But this time it did.
It came up talking to my brother's Eddie Buchanan, he's
the drummer in our band team, and and I were
Jamie and Jamie were just talking about it and it
felt like now it feels like it's green light.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yes, let's go do So I can't explain it. I don't.
I never know what's gonna go on, Elliott, I don't
know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
So you can't. You can't put your figure on anything
where you were like like.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You said, like you if you I don't want to say,
if you wanted to, like you were choosing not to.
But if that timing would have fell right, you could
have done this two years ago, three years ago the
timing for you. And you can't put your finger on
why why right now September of this year is the
right time.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I don't, I don't know. It just is it's funny.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
My father passed away earlier this year in February, and
we had just started talking about I wonder if if
we should, if now is the time? And it really
on paper, it was the absolute worst time because my
dad was in hospice and I was his main caregiver,
so I was, you know, my hands were absolutely full
(13:09):
with him and all the animals and all of that stuff.
But the idea came up and it was it was
a yes. I don't know why, it was just a
yes because it didn't make sense. It made absolutely no
sense for me to get back into it right now,
but it just was. And then when my dad passed
a little while after that, and it was all right,
(13:29):
let's go, and it just it just was like a
gun going off. We just started and everything started falling
into place and it's just going.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
So I don't know, I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I'll tell you this and the again.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
So the song that we were playing with with you
and with you, Antony the God, your voice sounds great,
you know what, like after all that time, like you like,
for example, I don't know if I stopped doing what
I was, my voice sounds like garbage anyway. But if
ten years from now, I don't know, what I'm going
to sound like your voice. Your voice still sounds unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Thank you man. I've had to work.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
You know, if you don't work a muscle, it gets
a little weak on you. So that was part of
my consideration was, you know, I got to get my
chaps already and all that stuff. I have literally been
working my asshole. And I feel so good because it's
you know, after all that amount of time, you.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Go, Okay, is it still there?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Hell, yes, it's still there, right, but not without a
little work, now, without.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
A little work.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
So hey, yeah, now there getting ready.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Now that now that obviously people know that that Rosie
Soul's doing a show and that that it's going to
be taking place, have you heard or have you started
hearing from people coming out of the woodwork of like,
oh my god, oh my god, I can't believe it.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
That this is awesome, this is great. I can't believe
it's happening.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's been great. It's been really great.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
And that's why I'm so tickled, because you know, a
lot of the folks would come to like every shoe
and we got to know folks, you know, and then
and all this time has passed and all of that.
So I'm really looking forward to seeing faces out there
on the fourteenth that, you know, that are just good
people that have been with us for years, and so
(15:18):
it's gonna it's definitely a reunion in that way as well.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You know, Oh sure it's part reunion, but it is
going to be part all new people that didn't have
the luxury of seeing you either you know, ten years
ago or you know, in between vomiting and the bathroom
at Sharkey's right.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yes see.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
The That's one of the things that's really kind of
delicious about this is that I've had several people come
up and say, you know, when, but when y'all left
back then, I was a little kid. I never got
to see you, and I was a little kid, And
now they all grown ass people. They will happen to
be a fresh batch of rosy virgins out there.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
And I don't know if this is an unfair question, Rosie,
but I'm going to ask anyway, and if and if
it's an unfair question, then say it. Is there anything
beyond September? Or is that all I care about right now?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I think it right now, We're focused on that right
and then if everybody is just digging it, maybe we'll
talk about doing it again.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But that's right now. It's all about that sick excellent.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So that show, by the way, again will be September fourteenth.
The Rock Rewine Festival takes place the thirteenth and fourteenth
two day festival in Ashland, Law Tiger's Pavilion at Richmond
Harley Davidson.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Rosie, I am so freaking happy that you're back.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Thank you, man. I am too, We're very excited. Sure,
do appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
You got it, Rosie. Good talking to you.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And I hope, I hope everybody and their mother shows
up at the show, and I hope it's not twelve
years until.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I talk to you again.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Thank you man.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Hey, you got it, Rosie. We'll talk to you soon.
Please welcome an old friend, Rosie.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's up, Elliott?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Hey? How are you?
Speaker 4 (00:10):
I'm doing great, man, I'm doing great. Thank you for
playing the song.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Absolutely, I will tell you this and I I, Oh god,
I hope Tony's not sitting next to you.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
You are so much better than he is.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Oh God, it's just different flavor, man, It's different flavor.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
How I was trying to think yesterday, Rosie, how I
can't even remember how long it's been since I've seen you.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
It's that we will stop doing music like nine years ago,
nine years the past.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Right, so I mean nine and a half, ten years,
it's got to be somewhere around there.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
The well, let me let me start here.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
First of all, I love I love that you guys
are back and doing the doing this show. And we'll
get to that in a second, but let me let
me ask us to begin with, how are you.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm great, man. I've been working my ass off.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I'm trying to get ready for the show and it's
been good, and I'm it's it's funny because it's like
I think I might be the healthiest.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I've ever been.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
After all of that that went down, you know, we
all of a sudden, everything was cancer, cancer and help
became the big focus. And then so over the past
few years and stuff, I've just I'm just a healthy,
no food weird. I got a lot of energy, and
my bridges are a little smaller than they used to be,
(01:31):
and you know, so I'm doing great and I'm really
excited to get back out there and see people. Man.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Sure, like when the COVID thing happened to you know.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
We were all up in our houses and I was
deep up in my house because I'm kind of a
homebody anyway, right, and so just the prospect of getting
out and being with their body is wonderful.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I can't wait to see every body.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Hey, do you do you mind if I go back
to twenty fifteen. I don't. I don't. I don't want
to be a downer and bring it up if you
don't want to.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
No, you can bring up whatever you want to.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So it's it's twenty fifteen, and correct me if I'm wrong,
Like obviously Rosie Soul is playing all around the area
and doing well and probably and you'll correct me if
I'm wrong based on memory.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
But like the last three four five years, you.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Know, leading up to let's say, let's say twenty ten
to twenty fifteen, Rosie Soul is killing it.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Like it could not be a better time for you, guys.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
It was a whole lot of fun because we you know,
we started, the places that we were playing were still
kind of these smaller intimate things and people will just
pack up in there and it's sweaty and in smoky
sometimes and it was.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Just so fun.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
It was it was just like this continuous party thing
going on there for a while, and it was wonderful, right.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And then twenty fifteen hits and you were diagnosed with
breast cancer? Yes, what was the And I'm and I
remember I remember obviously you being diagnosed. I remember you
guys had kind of like that that I don't want
to say that last show, but I well, it was.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It was in twenty fifteen. It was the it was

Speaker 1 (03:16):
And then and then like you said, then then it

been very, very lucky that we jumped on it and
then we took care of it and it has not returned.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So but that is that is not the case for
a lot of folks out.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
There, because I was I was looking at something yesterday
and it was talking to out that that last show
that you guys did, which is going to bring us
full circle to now. Yeah, but that was really kind
of an awareness show.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Maybe that's the wrong term, but it was.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
You became a very big advocate, very very quickly of
get your mammograms, get yourself checked, know what's going on
with your body.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yes, because see I had skipped several years and just
had not gone to a doctor, had not him mammogram,
but anything like that. And I was talking to my husband,
Jamie Lloyd. He's in the band with us, he's the
guitarist and kind of the brains behind everything.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And I was He found out that I had not
gone in.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
For a mammogram for a good while, and he was like,
what are you doing. You got to go in and
do it. So I said, yes, baby, okay, So I did,
and because.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Of that we caught it.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Otherwise I don't know if it was left up to
amount of viament.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Where we would be with it, but so that it
really kind of woke me up, and so we wanted
to tell everybody, not only the ladies but the husband's
and the boyfriends and girlfriends. Encourage your person man, tell
them to go in and be aware and see what's up,
because it's way different if you catch it early then
if you catch it late. So that's yeah, that's why
(06:12):
it became really important, really fast.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, sure, oh absolutely, And it's funny.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
There's a uh, there's a there's a video and that
I was watching and and and again. It talks about how,
you know, like you were like that show you you
were so so much a voice of go do this,
go do this, I believe the show or or one
of the one of the videos I saw was you
performing at Sharky's and then I was like, oh, oh
(06:38):
my god, Sharkis.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, that's one of them little sweaty dark places I
was talking about.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
So so so you you you you go through treatment
and then you you I feel like I cut you off.
You were talking about like you would show up at
like a blues bar every so often.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Every once in a while, but it was it just
to kind of sing a little bit, and then I
actually I just went silent for years as far as
music went, didn't sing none of that. Actually, it's funny,
it's so timely. I listened to you a little bit
earlier today. You were talking about pet insurance, right, and
so one of the things that came up during this
(07:19):
time that I was away from music was I inadvertently
got into animal rescue, and so currently I have twelve
rescue animals. Are you here, and yes, I'll tell you
how it started, because it's weird. I one day a
white pigeon showed up at my house and then proceeded
to follow me around for like three or four days.
(07:41):
Every time I walk outside, he's standing in front of
my door, or he's standing on the top of the car,
until finally I got the message that apparently he's going
to live here.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So I got him a girlfriend. I found another.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Little lost home and pigeon and got my girlfriend, got
him a little aviary apartment, and so now they love
and to all day long.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And then it kept going.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Now got seven guinea pigs, and I've got two bunny rabbits,
and I've got one little hamster named Kevin, who is delightful.
Kevin's got this weird quality that I'm just going to
tell you about because it's too good. Kevin's balls are
like two thirds of his body. Did you know that
(08:24):
about hamsters?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I did not know. I didn't know how Orybus the
hamster earld was. But yeah, so he's this delightful.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Little thing, just drags them around and does this little
hanster wonderful man. But I looked into pet insurance and
I absolutely cannot afford it because it's per animal right
right right, So it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
So we just you know, something goes wrong, we just
bite the bullet.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
But Rosie, I'll tell you what there is.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You you've had a fascinating life going all the way
back to when you were any bitty little Rosie and
run it off to Nashville. But I feel like every
time there's something that comes up, a little piece of
that onion comes back and you're like, oh god, damn,
look at Rosie.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
There's been some weird stuff along the line, but it all,
you know, all of this stuff, everything that happens, and
sometimes it's not ideal, or we don't think it's ideal.
But somehow it always works out. Even the hardest mess
seems to prepare you for whatever is coming down the.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Road, you know hard Was this harder than anything else
you'd gone through?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Actually no, I would say I think probably the hardest
thing I went through. And this is a huge, long
story and it's another weird one too, but I did.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I lost twins, right, I had.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
The thing happened some years ago where it's it's a
condition that happens my doctor told me, is like one
in fifty thousan people. And this happened where I had
when I was pregnant with twins, and one was called
a cardiac twin.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
So one did not develop.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
But the healthy one, Lennox is what her name is,
was keeping the other one's body alive because they were
connected like three vessels in the placenta. Sure, and it's
this weird it's a weird thing. But so anyway, that
long story short, they did not make it. I went
through a little surgery thing to try to help it
(10:31):
out and you know, fix what was going on, and couldn't.
So that one was you know, that was the first
time I was having, you know, little babies and say,
that's a big you know, turn in a corner, real
fast shot kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Oh sure, of course that was harder.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
And even even with that, my god, you know the experience,
I always just feel thankful that it kind of lets
me know that you can go through life and travel
light no matter what comes down the past.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
You know what I mean, Because it's Michael be ideal.
There's going to be stuff, sure, but if you can.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Kind of keep some gratitude in you and just relaxed,
life is going to floats it through it.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And so you did stuff. You know, I don't mean
to get nan. You got me all, let me, let
me talk about it, let's preach about it.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah no, well let's get back to those hamsters balls
and turn some things around.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Okay, So how does it? How does it end up?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Now?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
So now let's fast forward a little bit.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
So Rosie Soul is going to be at rock rewind
Fest September thirteenth and fourteenth, a two day festival at
the at Richmond Harley Davidson Lost Tiger Pavilion.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
You're headlining the show on September fourteenth.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
All that is great, All that is awesome, But get
me to the point where you like Okay, so it's
been I don't know, let's call it almost ten years.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Now it's time to go.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah, you know, I can't explain it because the idea
came up a few times through the years, but the
time it just didn't feel right. But this time it did.
It came up talking to my brother's Eddie Buchanan, he's
the drummer in our band team, and and I were
Jamie and Jamie were just talking about it and it
felt like now it feels like it's green light.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yes, let's go do So I can't explain it. I don't.
I never know what's gonna go on, Elliott, I don't
know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
So you can't. You can't put your figure on anything
where you were like like.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You said, like you if you I don't want to say,
if you wanted to, like you were choosing not to.
But if that timing would have fell right, you could
have done this two years ago, three years ago the
timing for you. And you can't put your finger on
why why right now September of this year is the
right time.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I don't, I don't know. It just is it's funny.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
My father passed away earlier this year in February, and
we had just started talking about I wonder if if
we should, if now is the time? And it really
on paper, it was the absolute worst time because my
dad was in hospice and I was his main caregiver,
so I was, you know, my hands were absolutely full
(13:09):
with him and all the animals and all of that stuff.
But the idea came up and it was it was
a yes. I don't know why, it was just a
yes because it didn't make sense. It made absolutely no
sense for me to get back into it right now,
but it just was. And then when my dad passed
a little while after that, and it was all right,
(13:29):
let's go, and it just it just was like a
gun going off. We just started and everything started falling
into place and it's just going.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
So I don't know, I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I'll tell you this and the again.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
So the song that we were playing with with you
and with you, Antony the God, your voice sounds great,
you know what, like after all that time, like you like,
for example, I don't know if I stopped doing what
I was, my voice sounds like garbage anyway. But if
ten years from now, I don't know, what I'm going
to sound like your voice. Your voice still sounds unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Thank you man. I've had to work.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
You know, if you don't work a muscle, it gets
a little weak on you. So that was part of
my consideration was, you know, I got to get my
chaps already and all that stuff. I have literally been
working my asshole. And I feel so good because it's
you know, after all that amount of time, you.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Go, Okay, is it still there?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Hell, yes, it's still there, right, but not without a
little work, now, without.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
A little work.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
So hey, yeah, now there getting ready.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Now that now that obviously people know that that Rosie
Soul's doing a show and that that it's going to
be taking place, have you heard or have you started
hearing from people coming out of the woodwork of like,
oh my god, oh my god, I can't believe it.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
That this is awesome, this is great. I can't believe
it's happening.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's been great. It's been really great.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
And that's why I'm so tickled, because you know, a
lot of the folks would come to like every shoe
and we got to know folks, you know, and then
and all this time has passed and all of that.
So I'm really looking forward to seeing faces out there
on the fourteenth that, you know, that are just good
people that have been with us for years, and so
(15:18):
it's gonna it's definitely a reunion in that way as well.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You know, Oh sure it's part reunion, but it is
going to be part all new people that didn't have
the luxury of seeing you either you know, ten years
ago or you know, in between vomiting and the bathroom
at Sharkey's right.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yes see.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
The That's one of the things that's really kind of
delicious about this is that I've had several people come
up and say, you know, when, but when y'all left
back then, I was a little kid. I never got
to see you, and I was a little kid, And
now they all grown ass people. They will happen to
be a fresh batch of rosy virgins out there.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
And I don't know if this is an unfair question, Rosie,
but I'm going to ask anyway, and if and if
it's an unfair question, then say it. Is there anything
beyond September? Or is that all I care about right now?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I think it right now, We're focused on that right
and then if everybody is just digging it, maybe we'll
talk about doing it again.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But that's right now. It's all about that sick excellent.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So that show, by the way, again will be September fourteenth.
The Rock Rewine Festival takes place the thirteenth and fourteenth
two day festival in Ashland, Law Tiger's Pavilion at Richmond
Harley Davidson.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Rosie, I am so freaking happy that you're back.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Thank you, man. I am too, We're very excited. Sure,
do appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
You got it, Rosie. Good talking to you.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And I hope, I hope everybody and their mother shows
up at the show, and I hope it's not twelve
years until.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I talk to you again.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Thank you man.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Hey, you got it, Rosie. We'll talk to you soon.
