We down here in H town man. Hey man We got somebody that's very very special this guy right here man. He been putting it down man Them sounds that you hear man. This guy right here is the one that'll do that for you This guy might have might even be on the wheels or still is what we used to call it man Check it man. My boy Harvey is in the building. Yes, man. Yes, man. Yes I'm Harvey love to come down King's super producer. You know, I'm saying call by many So I'm here in the county for man. Thank you so much for coming on the show. Yes, sir You know my honor and my pleasure you one of them guys man. They say I had to talk to you So that's what God did God did You know, that's what he was doing down there the God been doing it But they just all of a sudden got a handle of right. I did right now God done. You know Still doing Still doing. Yeah, you know, what if you don't do nothing else he done enough for me? Absolutely real time um, so when you When you think about the Houston sound when you think about that sound to me and look he he talked about when I was over there And he say Dallas, you know, they just never did find a sound and they and ESG told me the same thing when he came Dallas it was just we found our sound early on You also had to have a beat. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, yeah You also had to have a beat that sounded somewhat a Houston sound, right, right? They talked about the cadence of the music But but the cadence of the voice, but I'm talking about the sound of the music. Absolutely, but I Get what he and kick you the same but at the same time Dallas was always able to come with a hit though. You could always get a hit record from Dallas, you know You know, yeah, yeah, that's how it ended in the data several times They be jigging with it.  Let's figure out who this guy is We don't even know who this is. He could be an imposter.  Well, then when the when the storm came it was like man You know that had to be something. Well, let me tell you what separates me from other Harvest my name is Harvey love Harvey L. U. V. And There's what reason why I say that is because it's 4,000 Harvest in the United States. I already check He didn't count it the harvest. Well the last thing you check, you know, there are more being born every day And now you know, you're right. We just embarked on eight eight billion people worldwide now So you are right about that. So it may be way more than 4,000 because that was good No, well, I guess a couple of years ago, right? Oh, yeah That's a lot more now. I just don't think that people just run around here. So you know call them sales Harvey, but A long line of Harvest already So you're born and raised in Houston. Yes. Yes. What part what part Houston? I'm in the third ward area as far as born, but I'm raised in harm club I left third wall when I was what 12 years old and I've been in harm club. You know Scott Street. What? Live off of Scott, you see what I mean? Absolutely Scott Street story. Yeah. Yeah, for sure man How was it coming up though that early on like you hear stories about the third the field? How was it on Scott Street? That's that street had a reputation.  I mean Yates is off of what like Scott and Samson, okay? So, you know, it's it's very very There you go very very popular. It's for you know, that strip, you know, whatever McGowan is Emancipation is, you know, I'm saying so it's you know a lot of historic streets where a lot of things happened back in the day, but I Say that because that's where a lot of my fun going up was or whatever But I was always too young now I was able to really retro, you know, really recognize it in retrospect when I look back It's a man. It was a lot going on, you know, and all of that in third water, whatever But in harm Clark, I gotta bring that up. We have our streets as well So it seems like you like harm Clark better than the reward never, you know, I like the same Because what it is, I don't like and I don't like third one better than harm Clark either because, you know, I Was born in born in harm Clark, but like I said, you know, her third one You're born in third Ward. Yeah, third one. I was born in third Ward, but harm Clark raised me, right? And so, you know, I Hey, that's why I got my bones and they you know, they actually adopted me as one of their own So when people say, hey, where you from from harm Clark because they you know I was just regular Harvey Kelly in third Ward, you know, whatever. I was DJing and stuff like that I've been DJing since I was eight years old. Eight years old. Who turns you on to DJ? Well, my mother put me in DJing because Let me have to explain this.   My mother had a club and had nobody to babysit. You had a hip mop. Yeah, she was on the club So I Was sleep on the pool tables or whatever. I didn't have any I didn't have Exactly what it was. I know what I do join in you box That's it. Okay. It's a joint. It was a dream running with your daddy. Oh, yes, you did She cooks them. I named it after my father. Okay. What was the name of it? Yeah, this career, but but did y'all have some with some fish and stuff in there to eat Do we have a little in there? Yeah, she served food. My mother was a professional cook, too Yeah, that's cat food. She hasn't catfished in there. She had everything. I'm getting home, Brazil She had everything and we didn't have any babysitter, you know for me, you know And so I would have to sleep on the pool tea. She had an extra pool table in the back She wasn't using whatever I had to sleep on the pool table to be out the way to grown-ups and all that After I come home from school and all that I didn't go home. I went to my mother's club, you know You must have been the oldest one. I was the only one.  I have two sisters, but they never lived with me.  I'm adopted to her So where's your mom?  I talk to her all the time every day So you knew her while you were growing up? I did. I actually met her later on. How old were you when you met her? Probably about I mean, I probably about what five six. Okay, not that later on I thought you were just gonna say like teenager. No, we were always all together, you know So my my deal was, you know, she she's a very good lady I mean my mother, you know had, you know, like helped us both out like brother and sister for a minute You know, so it's it would turn out it was a good situation. That's good Do that and end up adopting the kids because sometimes they'll they knew I don't know what your your biological mom situation was right, but a lot of people that I know to have Done that it was usually because the person was on drugs and couldn't get to two carols, right? The child so they went ahead and took the child right and raised him in the fall in love and then adopting that right Well in this situation in this situation, it wasn't it wasn't like that. Okay, glory be to God for that But it wasn't like that.  You know me like with that bill, you know, so like but I thank God for every lick because I've never been in any trouble She raised me.  Yeah Yeah, and I mean, you know different circumstances that make that that way that is too. I know that's a whole different deal But I just I commend you man You you you you come from a Situation where God he made a way for y'all to know absolutely and you know, you said you mentioned God earlier We're always I look at that in the conversation.  I know it I don't have to great. I don't have to that's how I know I can try to spirit The words say you have to have a spirit of discernment. It talks about that in 1st Corinthians chapter 12 It talks about the gifts of the spirit exactly And that's something that I look at like I can tell just by the way that you know the tree by the fruits that it bear So when I'm listening to you talk and I hear your dialect, I can hear God in you Absolutely, God gives us all that but it's you know, it's up to you to pray for you know to be able to recognize that I just thank God for you brother. I mean, you know, that's what people don't understand. Everybody don't get the same Interview right God tell me what to say absolutely. I'm toned in I'm tapped in with God Yeah, so when I see if you need to hear something to say we got to get it together And he tell me what to talk about on that if he if you tell me to tell somebody to let's keep going Because you got it going on in me then I tell you that too.  So I When you think about just the music though, did you well? How did you first like start just like playing the music? Well, this is what happened like I was saying about the DJ and Back when I you know not dating myself, but you know pretty much my you know, I'm public knowledge When I started DJing I was like I said I was eight years old because I was Fascinated by the DJ see like today's in today's clubs DJs are every day. I mean, you have a DJ That's that's how the music is played in clubs and if you don't have your iPad I guess or something like that But back then it was jukebox through the week live DJs on weekends So on the weekends, I was just so fascinated by this DJ named Wild Child Okay, that would he shout out Wild Child. Yeah, he's still living. I think that Wild Child pass man And you got it. Yeah, I think this is like 40, you know, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah So my deal is Wild Child will be DJing and I was just so fascinated the way he could just make the records play Himself as opposed to just sitting back watching this this machine play the records, you know He playing them, you know, and what about requests and he talking to the crowd and they dancing and responding to what he's saying and all that I wanted that and so my mother got him to teach me Hey teach my boy that one of because it was gonna give me something to do I would be so bored after doing the homework and all that kind of stuff like that So once I got into that or whatever I used to have to stand on milk crates little square To reach the table there's all once I did that by the time I was like 1011 whatever you know, I started this because this is just before I moved time clock So I'm about ten years old They turn to me lose sometimes for our At the club my friends couldn't even come in that's why a lot of my friends never saw me DJ or whatever because they Were too young to come in the club.  I was 11 about that time. It's hard. By the time I turned 12 I was the only DJ watch I would need you know DJ in there anymore. Hold on. Was your mama paying you? I guess I don't know She paid me but let me sleep Taking me to school feed me and all that on yeah, so She doing it at whatever and you know I see how that helped a lot too because she got more clientele because they wanted to see this This little phenom kid doing that and plus like you know like you just said, you know She wouldn't have to pay why I have to pay him And then I'm trying to cry out to Yeah, she really pulled the play on You know and I've worked in corporate America Training the new guy, you know you Place Believe that you know saying so same thing so it happened that way and then by this time, you know Cuz I'm going to Ryan. I'm going to run and I'm in talent shows and stuff like that Ryan is the middle school. Okay Like a lot of people that went to Yates. They came from Ryan middle school So I met Ryan. I'm in talent shows. I'm DJ and the party's there Graduated from Ryan went to Madison. Now this time. I moved behind Clark now I'm the main DJ even at ninth grade for all of the Madison parties the home Cummins and all this kind of stuff like that and My name is Harvey Kelly But I started, you know, like I'm DJ Harvey love DJ Harvey love whatever and so I started DJing for the The teachers or if they private parties at their own house and they would trust me I never took nobody's business back to school and all this kind of stuff like that Not that they were doing anything wrong and they wasn't doing anything wrong But they saw that man, he's like a little grown-up. He can trust him He did know how to play the right music. Yeah, all the teachers start hiring me on the weekends stuff for their own Parties at home and I never would come back to school saying hey, I did, you know, Miss Anderson's work miss You know, I just I never would do that. Yeah, I'll never you trustworthy. Yeah I'll never would say I DJ for a teacher. It never got back to school So when they did that they wouldn't know by them knowing me like that They will start calling me Harvey love my mind by my stage name versus my real name. Yeah, I'm putting it on my test papers Everything that's why a lot of people don't even know my name was Harvey Kelly Well, not that they got I got, you know, we got Facebook and all this kind of stuff like that They know it and whatever but it's been Harvey love Harvey love Harvey love and that popularity blew me up in school And that's how I got me so so you get when did you first? Start, you know Producing the tracks to tracks. This is what happened Big mellow. Yeah, okay. Okay. That's what put me in the game professionally So because he and I would you know, he was the rapper I was the DJ at all of Madison Towner shows We got together and got you know with professional Simon Rappelot after we after we graduated How are you so? 19 yeah, I was 19. I was yeah, I was 8 I graduated 17 turned 18 next month. I Was 19 years old.  What Mr. Lee there with y'all. He wasn't there yet No, Lee wasn't there really so that was early on it was early. I don't I don't believe it was there You was early with it. It was like, yeah, yes indeed. Yeah, yeah, so you was there when I never seen a man cry Until I've seen the man Scarface, you know me and Scarface tight tight tight He so each sung us that song I can I can tell you what we were like in his car And he was just letting us hear the demo tape of that song What up the ghetto? I mean like I remember like with my Patrick's on me That was a song that was gonna be like some solo stuff that he was doing but it fit the ghetto boys better Yeah, as a group.  Meaning said that it fit the whole ghetto No, no, I don't know how they I guess they got together and that but you see what I'm saying Okay, we were at a club called boomerang Scarface let me hear that him rapping that song by himself now will you know Willie D and that's why We just heard absolutely so Willie D and Bush because it was probably involved They probably wrote all wrote the song together whatever but when face let us hear it was just him by itself And so I'm like man, that's amazing. That song was amazing. No, it was good. Oh, man I already knew about though, you know, because for me from DJ Yeah, I already knew about the war Sample that he used and everything I already knew what you know, it was just like wow wow and the eyes of haze I the eyes of haze and stuff. Yeah That's what it was that the eyes of haze. So it was like man. It was so it was amazing. Yeah, I'm saying so We you know, I'm like wow man that music break that he took that music made How did you how did you when you heard the the final version? How did you it was crazy? It was like what the hell it was what it was way above what I could have anticipated Yeah, cuz when you think about it was crazy People don't like Willie D wrote that verse for Bushwick. Yeah. Yeah, but he's a monster God it fit him. Well, he is a monster in that studio man. I never say it. Uh, then they could say it Uh Fifth Ward is his spot where niggas get shot I don't know who sell cock and every block the niggas stars if they don't start it with bill like like This man wrote this and be of what bill wasn't from here. Was he with billers from Bushwick? You from New York. He was from New York. Bushwick, Brooklyn. Yeah, but he came here and he Will it be start pushing him into this culture with the way he was right man. Well Bill was actually there, but you know with Johnny C in ready read, you know, it bill was there in jukebox Okay, bill was there before everything. So he was there all the time all the time. Yeah, he likes so he was running south really We are here. Well, he was here.  Oh my goodness. We were we on the label with him We're on the show we opening up. We doing this, you know me and big mellow whatever mellow had a maze and roll He would be with us. Yeah, right. Yeah. Okay. He would be with us You know because it was big mellow in the bonfire productions boner production peach and big mellow Whatever that was our group. He would finish our show Go back in the dressing room change and come back out You know saying either with the ghetto boys or with Scarface, you know what he wouldn't pretty much be together But he'll be like Scarface is high man and Scarface doing a like a show by you know solo because he was so so Scarface was solo artist as well. Yeah. Yeah, so so mellow was Scarface's hype man So he was really working that. I mean that mellow got to be probably The most one of the most talented artists I've ever worked with in my life. Wow, so ever what you mean? Ever even more talented. He's coffee. He seems well Well, I'm not gonna ever say he could rap better than Scarface because Scarface is my fave. He might go Yeah, so I'm not gonna say you know him and it's two people that I have Scarface and Kay Reno. I Mean and I happen to know both of them like like this or whatever Where does pimp see fall in all of that pimp see that's different, but that's different though No, no, no, you know, I get you right But pimp see was a beast because you know all of us hung together, right? I'm seeing bond hunger rap a lot just as well You know, you injecting pimp see into something that they would be because he was but he was jibbed Oh, and he was they were that under he was he under different record label and then they was in Port Arthur, which is like what 45 50 minutes away from Houston. That's true. That's true So yet and still even though you write about that, but he still would hang out with us. Correct We were going shows and stuff like that. We did we even did shows and PA. Yeah, so Pimp see and bond they would be right there. We were cool. We did shows and Austin gather, you know And all of that kind of stuff like I mean we did a whole I'm trying to just rap a lot of spiel right now I don't know why I see an injected pimps in it cuz I'm going there with you Okay, that's right now I want to talk about this Scarface and this whole the Legendary moved at Jay because we can't leave little Jay out, you know So, you know, all of this stuff is working together and I mean like man, you see what I'm saying for me my whole career. I mean post-wrap a lot Wow, you know, how did you first meet me little Jay? Well, but I got cool with Jay through mellow, you know, man, you know, Jay and mellow was real tight Okay, mellows real tight or whatever, but that without you know with us being in the group That would always be around Jay. Jay is just 100 dude. He's just real. I mean in a lot of times They don't know they think that Jay is just the CEO putting the money behind it and you know, and he good No, Jay involved when they been in the studio Jay in there No, you know say hey, man, no, no, no bring bring that back. Come on. Just say this like this Come on, man.  You can come harder. He technical. He he in there He tell you don't get a boys again I'm ghetto boys albums and all that kind of stuff like Jay was down He wouldn't they wouldn't like he calling to the studio to see how everything went No, Jay putting in the work. Well, that's what I'm saying people just done Didn't know that part about Jay Jay in there like what time we gotta go. Oh, okay. I'll be there You could tell cuz you know what we need to say. Oh, yeah Yeah, oh, yeah, that's only in there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He watching what's going on He want to know how this whole he'll listen to some songs like man, I think we can just I think I don't know man I think we can go back on that one man and I'm talking about songs that's getting ready to get wrapped up Jay listen to Love music He was in there He wouldn't know just CEO like okay y'all ready to hear the money. Okay. I mean it's okay. I wasn't here He was hands-on and so I mean like with us and everybody He wouldn't this is you know, Jay wanted here then and not that we got to just do stuff out for him But he wanted to be involved. He loved music so much. He wanted to be with it You know, he yeah, Jay was on that hip-hop. He was on his hip-hop. So what was it? We like that, you know saying we like we used to love the fact that what was the biggest like like like Thing song that you produced during that time during the 90s man Biggest one so the most okay. Well, let me tell you how it happened. I was just DJing remember. I'm a DJ So I was just DJing I idolized Crazy see who was in the group with us. Okay, he was the actual producer for the group Okay, but since I was so popular We know people know from the schools and from everything going around in the city and all that people was thinking I was doing those tracks. Okay a lot of times or whatever. Now. This is what actually happened I was so fascinated once I see people doing stuff that I like whatever I study him It's like just like in the corporate America they call it job shadowing. That's right.  I idolized him. I was like, man I want to learn how to do whatever I loved it so much and he's such a good dude I've had my whole life behind crazy.  I want to learn, you know, so he I wanted to learn so bad I wouldn't got the same exact keyboard. Yeah that he did because I want to do I didn't even know how to turn my keyboard on I didn't know the power the power cord, you know, how to connect that. I didn't know the button was in the back I didn't know it back then it was floppy. This I didn't know how to use the floppy disk Wow to show you how novice, you know, how much of a novice I was correct You know when it came in the producing he took me by the hand and taught me and taught me and taught me and two ways He was doing the things that was my he said I can teach you how to how to put it together But I can't teach you how to think, you know, so I can't teach you how to feel what you what you feel He said what you feel whatever and so I had to take what I feel and I knew a lot of stuff They would make people dance and move or whatever because I was a DJ or whatever I'm like I studied songs that make just even today like if I'm DJing in the club And I see a you know how they rock into a certain song like okay I gotta go do a do a song that's making them drums pop like that I mean you know because I know the elements of a song just like a chef when he eating something He can tell what's in it same thing with it with a producer. I can tell what kind of instruments was used Know that one up to make a hit so funny a b-king said the same thing. Yeah Exactly what he heard here songs different cause of the way his musical background exactly That's exactly right. You know I'm saying because you can you can tell what's going into it the bottom rhythm of it No, it doesn't necessarily have to be the speed of it You just speed up the hi-hats in the song and that'll make it move You know, it's just just little little little techniques and strategies that you can do with in a beat You know, it's in a lot. I like the kind of song I like 808 a lot doon doon doon, but I studied dr. Dre a lot doctor trade on the use a lot of 808s You don't hear that a lot from dr. Dre you hit knock that That's gonna hit That's like, you know, that's what dr. Dre uses because it's gonna hit it's gonna sound like gorillas in your trunk as opposed There's just your trunk vibing You're gonna hear a lot of hum bass. What did you think about because we talked about utk earlier? When when Pmc first start pushing that music and he was when you first hear Super super tight, but it was the one before that the first one. What did you think about? The you had to tell me some goods and all that I was totally amazed by Pmc It mess me up even when he was doing a lot stuff like big for Big Mike Yeah, I was sitting next to him when he when he was in the studio Yeah, I was sitting next to him in digital services at the studio when he was me say but I heard it before Big Mike You know saying and it's because I was we were in the single first So did he he was he just make the beat then he saw let me ask you this because this is a big thing Me and Bobo talk about Bobo talk Bobo Luciano. Shout out. He got super tight down in Dallas, too He named his whole podcast that When you Worked around Pmc. There's a big misconception or it may be the truth David Banner Bobo gets pretty much upset about this all the time Someone said it or said that he taught Pmc how to use a beat machine that I don't know he may I'm trying to understand. Okay, how was he making his music? That you were just talking about right without a beat machine about what I'm making beats How well how do you do that? Well, how do you make the beat? Okay? Well, I can see I don't I understand exactly what you're asking but my thing is To do okay. I'm not a pianist. Okay. I play Good enough to have my pianist My musicians to do what I need, you know, and they can take it to that next level whatever But it starts with the idea that I give them correct. So a Producer is more or less a conductor of the orchestra. Okay, that's the producer, you know, like prime example I have people that are I mean like major musicians that working in the same room You know some stuff I need to do I know all of their parts But they may not know each other's. Okay, you know, I'm saying like the bass player might not know to a certain extent What he I want the pianist to do this You know, I won't you know, even a horn player to do this part of whatever but I can hear a part for every one of them I'm like, okay in the break. I want you to come, you know, right there You make I'm gonna give it to me a little bit more busy right here Whatever just to signify that this is the break and not the normal main, you know, main You know main verse of chorus, you know stuff like that or whether this might be the bridge right there We're gonna rise up right here. You know, I know how did he make this fly hoes and he made that beat or how do you make that? Produce that sound. What did he do? Well, he did the track, you know So whatever and then he he just heard y'all get he heard what he heard to it That's what he was here. You know here into it, whatever and his the way he sang hooks was amazing the way he sang hooks was amazing and Bum, but you know bone would even tell you that like man You know bond doesn't have to tell me that he misses P.m. See you can tell now We know he missing that but I you know us. It's because bone is a phenomenal rapper. I mean phenomenal artist.  It's missing the icing Well, you got I'm saying and that's my thing with that's real see cuz bonk and be I mean like we saw two people We just call him cameo kings Bombie and three two.  Yeah, I don't care who you are Bunkin you know put did at work DJ burn one down in Atlanta said that bun showed him a lot when he come down his craft as well So my thing is but like for UG real strong UGK fans like myself You miss that pimp see coming with hook or you miss bent bun over a pimp beat, you know I'm saying you miss that Yeah, I think I can say we and you see it. You see it in his interviews I haven't got a chance to interview him yet, but you see it. I interview Steve B Lo I interview the Bobo's I and all of them say this about the fact of how The the pimp see, you know the way it affected them once pimp see passed away, you know I mean because it affected everybody and more so even when I interviewed Julia Beverly like it's like these people They they it's an empty spot there, of course Because of the impact that he brought to the game and to the music, you know what I mean right into their lives But the music was a big thing because that's their careers and right and for a bun, of course That's a that's a that's a big empty space man. Yeah, you can't replace it I mean well and because it was a sound that we were so used to man. I loved it. I loved it I Like a ball in mjg rock with both of them, you know sitting like a ball in mjg. I love them more together I know they both cold apart, but when I hear them together, it's just you wait on that one to punch They want to punch man. It's funny you funny you mentioned that cuz they had diverses down in Atlanta I was so upset about that. I wanted it to be here in Houston or somewhere in Texas could have been San Antonio I wanted that thing that cuz I know already the room and the energy and the way it was would have been different Right, absolutely. We had a lot of people. I was so I was so hurt behind because I'm a big fan of both of them That's right. I know Swabhouse was here and I know, you know, I know already the history of it You know you GK right up the street. What would it be pulled off on here? It might as well be here, right? I just think it would have been so dumb And I said I'm gonna tell you exactly what I said cuz people were saying man Because I said it should have been in Houston and they were like no man because that wouldn't have been fair That's what everybody's a PA. I say no, that's not right because bond was here You know people, you know, I know they from PA. I know a baller, you know, say mjg, you know Say it from see right, right? I know they from I know they from Memphis out there But they but Swabhouse was here. That's right. It was kind of like a home away from home for both of us That's right. That's right. That's right being Houston. And that would have been so hard I don't even know they could oh my goodness It would have been crazy easy and they would have made for a better versus shout out to Bobo The energy I'm gonna say Bobo again. You gonna tell me uh, they it was they they was so busy picking up They phones and I'm like man Nigga picked a phone up all the time the energy was off because it wasn't in Houston I was only but well my thing is you can't it's hard to if you're watching Energy that's not there. It's hard to you know, create recreate energy Yeah But if you just think about it a lot of times when you you at a concert You could be anywhere at a show or something or whatever and if they lit For some reason even whether you know the music a lot you lit because you had a place There's lit. Yeah, if you're watching something that is not really projecting energy It's hard to get crunk all by yourself Yeah And so that's why it didn't make for such a good, you know, like a crunk versus because you we wasn't we wasn't really watching energy I always tell other artists and you know, you know like artists that I'm I'm trying to mentor and things like that Whatever the crowd would never be more lit than you are So make sure you out there giving it your all when you're a thing I mean like if I'm out there just dead weight just you know You know seeing the lyrics to my song whatever now a letter whatever what they gonna get crunk for And you knew this from being a DJ you learn all of that well and I saw I've been in this 30 years too You know I'm saying so it I mean I've seen all the hits and misses. Let me ask you this I got it. I gotta ask you this like when you seen it When you seen bun trying to you know, basically show homage pay homage to pump again because it was almost like a Hummage paying event for me. You could see that if he had the shirt on but it was like man I know it's like we miss pimp this whole thing to me is about we miss Pimp see right, right? Versus Maybe I'm just a big fan, but I'm like it's paying short homage and paying homage to him But it's supposed to be a thing what ain't going back and forth with these songs But it became a thing to me where that empty spot just meant like dang man It made me feel away. Well, you'd have got the same thing if one of them was missing too That's right.  It would have been so, you know He'd have been out there lit.  I want to ask you about I want to ask you about something else I want to try to talk about these youngsters for a minute. Okay. I'm gonna say youngsters cause I'm gonna start with be king. All right be king like okay When you've seen him come on the scene versus when you know the way you guys originally done it What was your thoughts on the way? He absolutely love it because it takes he was different. I love different Yeah, he said in his interview He said in his interview when he came in because he's Houston Everybody else was you know screwed down slowed up. Whatever didn't have like a whole bunch of energy Right, and that's why he did what he did to be different and bring all of that in a place that didn't know nothing else I love it. I mean he is a club killer. I'm DJing. I'm playing all his records So I love it to death.  I've I've paid my bills Three decades straight with music. Well, I mean like every 30 years no fall off And my thing in the reason why is because I always dare to reinvent myself I'm not trying if you know because people used to always say man, I can tell that's a little track Okay, can you tell now? You understand what I'm saying because I don't do what I used to do Wow, you know because and the only reason is because what I used to do may not work right now You know like one of the most popular songs like I produces big pokies. Who that man who they're talking down If I came out with a beat product I'm talking about using the same drums and all this kind of stuff like that the same exact beat that same track and Drop it tomorrow. It wouldn't have an impact on the industry that it would today because the whole 99 who they're talking down and I'm a T was crazy I'm a T was T was real crazy. I'm sure you how you know because I love I love Jammas, you know, I got three stages. I love jamming. We all jamming if we wouldn't jamming We wouldn't be trying to do this music anyway That the difference is you got jammers You got hits you got classics that song is a classic. I just got a what's today Friday? I just got a check for who they're talking down Wednesday. I've been getting them since 2000 Hmm, I've been getting brought to chicks every 90 days since the year 2000 It did 22 years. That's my point. It didn't been in Dark Angel. Orange is the new black Entourage, you know saying or whatever, you know, I'm sorry I have three W twos that I have to fill out for food for that song. So I mean like what the songs and songs are like, you know, so different different You know companies and stuff like that different broadcasts and stations and all this kind of stuff like that because of the publishing and all that My thing is I have songs that I've made 10 years You know Since then that the checks and feels pretty much fills it out because you know, they didn't get the push And they didn't get yet. Yeah, they didn't get the traction traction. That's what I'm trying to get the traction that that song got So my thing is I'm in I'm in this for the for the hits in the classics And that's the term, you know, they all can be jamming all they want to But the term is the hits in the classics is the success and attraction like you're saying other song I mean it for them I was just talking about something like that earlier because I was thinking about remember when I mentioned about Michael Jackson, right? I said everybody's supposed to strive to be like Michael Jackson where hits are concerned because right this generation or kids kids go still know who Michael Jackson is and it It just blows my mind that these young kids I'm like, how you know Michael Jackson when you were born he might not even be alive at that time But you know him right your kids gonna know absolutely. That's what everybody I think should right It's because of the success of his work, you know, I'm saying the word I mean that your work should I live you and I was always, you know, I This is the reason for publishing to begin with For me.  You know, Sam What about a sauce Walker? I'm in Houston, Texas So what do you what do you think about the way that they're music and the way that they're doing things?  I'm asking about producers because that's your line. Absolutely. Absolutely. So how was I have you ever Work with DJ Chos or man. I never have one more thing. I want to say about sauce Walker. Come on back with it. Okay. I Love also that, you know, like just like Kiki is doing or whatever I love how they they take it the entrepreneurship to the next level and get do the merch thing I love it, you know, like however we can take this and make that I'm with that, you know, because it all ties back into, you know, it's a big brand It's brand. It's brand. Exactly. That's all I was saying. You know, I'm gonna ask you about DJ Chos You know, he had a soundtrack in the fast and the furious and he's got a lot of different things That he knew in a lot of different ways then then sauce and then and then then be king But just these younger generation and them can you you got to be proud of those guys? Well, man, it's indeed. That's indeed I mean, I that's what I'm saying.    That's why I embraced, you know The youngsters didn't you know, like they pretty much say like the new Houston the new sound, you know, whatever, you know And they like man, he wanted pioneers that's used to sound. Yeah, that's cool. That's cool. Find it in it But it doesn't have to stay right there. Wow What you know, how y'all gonna update the new sound, man So, you know the same you know saying, you know, I don't I'm not one of those guys that say the sound had to stay Like we had it. No, man. I don't even do it do it the same way no more.  What I was going to see still DJ right now. I DJ right now So, okay, you've been doing this for such a long time Mm-hmm.  You didn't read a fool with but you had to still DJ his songs That is that that's happened a whole lot of times because my it's not even about the artists at that point if I'm DJing It's about the crowd that I'm participating. You know, I mean that I'm actually Serving, you know, it's in the crowd that I'm performing for so I've done it so many different times with that at that point it's not you know, I don't I'm not one of them guys like I don't like it I ain't playing this record because I'm not really getting you try to sabotage him by I'm not with this because I've heard different things I've heard somebody else came on our show and was like the DJ slowed it down Yeah, or the DJ sped it up instead of doing exactly how it's right. I don't like that because number one I'm an artist myself. I rap I produce. You know, I engineer I do it all whatever and I'm the last person that once You know that done to me. So I never would do a artist even if you don't like no No, it has nothing to do with that. If it's a hit song they have okay I Pretty much don't have artists that I don't like anyway, you know Because I'm the guy that's gonna pull you to the side and see what our difference is man Let's watch this especially if I got to see you all the time That's gonna make it uncomfortable for you know an awkward for both of us So let's go ahead knock that out the bud You know, I'm gonna knock that out the way because we can both probably make money together Especially if you're a hot artist.  You know I'm saying so I'll squash that just to make sure that I'm you know I'm hot out there. What's the hottest song? 2022 the hottest song in the club when you play it He rupted the club. I know other it's so I mean, I don't want to hear that I don't want to hear that.  Don't go. Oh, yeah I just use that to flip the script because they know I'm feeling I'm about to come with some trap a drill or what? You know, I'm saying yeah, you know, I'm I'm just gonna flip the script with that You know, no matter how that song being old you say a couple of years or whatever each. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, that's all Yeah, what about you know, but but I can rock. I don't I can okay on the daddy's thing I could bring that big tuck it cuz I got hold that is it to you know saying oh clip.

I just you know his engineering is Unbelievable though his engineering is off is through the rocker. I mean out through the roof You know, it's off the rocker.

Absolutely what a boss is talk


Oh, thank you. Well, if it's okay, everybody, we will go ahead and call the meeting to order it started here. And for roll call, I think we are all here except for Megan. And Susie is going to be late. So, it's great. Thank you all for for being here. And also just wanted to mention, you've all seen that we have a member of the public Sheila Conray is joining us again. She says she's just going to listen. But if you want to make comments, Sheila, please let us know if you have something you'd like to add. Thank you. First thing is approval of the last month's minutes. Has everybody had a chance to review? If someone would like to make a motion to approve those. That would be great. This is Chris. I move to approve. Thank you, Chris. Is there a second? Okay. In favor of approving the minutes, please say aye and raise your hand or all opposed. Okay, that passes unanimously. Moving on to the proposed accessions. Eric, if you'd do the honors. All right. So we have a couple of accessions this month. The first one is photographs and a program from the Longmont High School class of 1938. So for a long time, this was kind of standard in high school is everybody would hand out their senior pictures with their name on them and maybe a note if they knew the person. We have quite a number of years of these in the collection. So every time I'm offered, then I go back and check to make sure we're not just duplicating an existing collection. And so in this case, you know, we took about half I think of what was originally in the collection because we had examples of other ones. And then the program is from a musical called Carmelita that was put on. Any questions on that accession? If not, we can move to the next one. So this is a fun kind of diverse collection. So the both the donor and her children were heavily involved in 4-H. So we have a scrapbook created by the donor of her experiences is sort of a general scrapbook of her life. But I've opened it in this photo to the page that shows her, you know, grooming horses and so forth a little hard to see on the screen, but that is what what that particular page on the left is showing. And then she also raised sheep in 4-H and them in the fair and up at the top that is a pair of sheep shears that are actually sheathed in a piece of a milking machine. So it's kind of an interesting reuse of agricultural item. And then the ribbons actually were won by her children. So the ribbons date primarily from 1980s. But we really don't have surprisingly that many Boulder County Fair ribbons and really not many at all from a more recent time period. So it seemed an appropriate accession. So questions on that accession. I believe that is the last one. Does anybody have any questions or comments about the accessions? Can I hear a motion to approve the accession of those items? This is Bryden. I'll make a motion to approve these items. Bryden, thank you. Is there a second? This is Chris and I'll second. Chris, thank you. All in favor of accessioning these items, please raise your hand, wave, whatever, all opposed. Okay. The accession is approved. Oh, Kim, if you would give us the director's report, please. I think you guys all got a copy of this. So I'm just going to kind of pull out some of the highlights in the report and not necessarily read every single in before you. So starting there under administration, we were able to get the fund development manager position approved and Joanne shared that job description with you. So please share that with anybody that you think might be interested in the position. This is going to be a really big step for us. We've had for some time, Joan has been in the position as three quarter time doing marketing membership and the development. And so having a full-time development person who's going to be really focusing on fundraising is going to be a serious game changer for us. And as you recall, that is funded through the bump that we got from SCFD and the tier two funds. So that took a little bit of time to get sorted out through the budget office and through the city manager's office, but it's finally been approved. And so we'll be hiring for that position very soon. Again, you may recall that through our strategic plan, this was really the number one priority that was identified through that process. And so we're excited to be moving forward with that. We've got all kinds of marketing that's happening for programs that are going on and just as an FYI just on Tuesday, Joan returned from maternity leave. So we'll be kind of rolling back into her position in that. But we are maintaining Scott Yoho who was funded through the NEH grant until the end of the season basically. And so he's going to continue to help with us with the virtual programming. So that's a good thing to have that extra help with that extra job that we've got. Our education department has had their first art and sip on Facebook live. And so Lee Pubman was facilitating that on February the third and everything went smoothly. Some of these things you might, if you've been watching some of our virtual program, there can be some glitches. But so far, I think it's pretty charming. We do have volunteers that are working on the Discovery Days kits. And so that program is still going quite strong. We're going to be distributing probably 90 of those. And that's basically for curbside pickup. So that's that program has really been very strong through the pandemic. So that's been a good success story for us. And then we continue to work with SVV SD on third and fourth grade history projects. And so, you know, they're kind of trying to navigate exactly how they are opening up has been a little bit of a challenge, but we're still moving on those collaborations. So that's going to be, I think, a really great once we are able to enroll that. And we do have, as you may recall, the VISTA volunteer that's working with this Courtney Fletcher, and she's been a fantastic addition to our team, just by the way. And she's now working on teacher trunks and sort of redeveloping those that have been in operation for some time now. And so we're just sort of taking a new look at those teacher trunks and sort of upgrading them a little bit. I know that Susie has used these in the past and those other teachers who have. So I do think that they're really well received. And so we're just trying to update some of the content in those. And then we also, I hope some of you were able to attend the opening reception, our virtual opening reception for the Impressionist exhibition. And so included in here is that Jared and Anne had a great live discussion about lithography, and I thought it was fantastic. They just had such great banter and were able to really speak passionately about their knowledge. So I was really moved by their presentation during that. I thought it was really lovely. Let's see onto the collection section there. Eileen and Eric have been working on doing doing some research for a new collections management system. I don't know if you either one of you want to hype in to talk about that a little bit this is this is really a pretty big undertaking. So maybe I'll let Eric talk about that for just a second. Yeah, we've been using past perfect in one version or another since 1998. It has been our database that tells us where everything is tracks all of the information about our collection.  Eileen and I have been working on, you know, we've had sales pitches now from I think five different companies and have demo versions of I think four of those to start looking at, you know, and the reality is there's not going to be a perfect system that's like this does absolutely everything we wanted it's you know we'll have to make the choice based on what what works best. So what the big change is that they are now all cloud based, which means right now, you know, we've been able to continue working because we can remote in, but there's no way for volunteers to continue working or work on things from home because the city doesn't like volunteers remoting into its system for security reasons. So a cloud based system means a volunteer could log in from anywhere and and work on, you know their project as long as they had in whatever information or digital images work from so that's going to be a big jump for us, and then the way that the technology has advanced in terms of being able to do things far more efficiently than than they could a few years ago will I think help help advance, not just collections but really how the collections are used by by everybody So we're excited about it. It never ceases to amaze me why it's so difficult to get a good day of the right fit for a database, but this is an ongoing museum challenge like this does everybody faces. But I'm excited to get something new to I think it'll be great. And also Eric included in that collection section that there's a lot of activity going on with the 150th anniversary and he is on a committee to sort of represent the museum for that citywide effort but I do think that a lot of what's happening is happening at the museum. And that's largely as a result of the coronavirus I think you know we were already doing things, for instance, Eric was right in a book, you know, and we were going to be doing the exhibition regardless. So we kind of are the seat of those celebrations, but there are some citywide things that are going to be happening and so we're working to get those together and make that happen. And if you chimed into the birthday event I thought that that was actually quite amazing to have, you know, Chino represented and to have Guzman represented and Vance brand on there it was just so much fun to be able to see all of those things I was really heartened by that happy birthday event and so I hope you guys got to tune into that and if you didn't tune into it I highly recommend that you go back to our YouTube channel what do we have it on it's on 880 or you can see it on our Facebook page. So you can find it if you if you want to take a look at it was really fun. So in this section there we have been helping, you know, they have renovated the council chambers and as a result of that renovation they had to move the mayor's photos. And so we helped out, I say we was our exhibits staff that helped remount those and sort of get them prepared for this new space and beautified in a new way. The Enduring Exhibition Enduring Impressions exhibition that is open now and attendance has been actually quite good, which we were really hoping for. And the, in addition to the Enduring Impressions exhibit is also in our little portal gallery we've got lithography art and process. So, Brack really took that on as an exhibit and we borrowed material from the CSU printmaking department for that. And then it also contains a video from MoMA about the lithography process so again if you have had a chance to see the exhibit yet. Make sure to check that part of it out. We do have an attendant, a security guard that is in the gallery for all of our open hours so we've got extra security in the space for this, you know, sort of high dollar exhibition that we have in there. And we also have interns working with the exhibits department Ainsley Watkins and Emily Assoff and they're both CSU students. And Jared really relies on these folks for a lot of assistance and they do, they're able to do some really great development and design. And so I think that he provides a really great opportunity for the students that work with him. We're also working with BMOCA on an exhibition that'll open in 2023 if memory serves. And that's really kind of getting off in terms of development. We're working, we've got a guest curator that is pulling that together as well. And basically the ideas that'll be a collaboration between an artist and a farmer. And there'll be some installations at the Longmont Museum, there'll be installations at BMOCA in Boulder, and then there'll be installations between the two museums on farms. So we're kind of excited about what kind of dialogue that's going to generate and what kind of, you know, ideas that we'll be able to bring into that exhibition. You guys stop me if you have any questions but I am looking this way so you might need to say something to get my attention. Let's see, we've got in the Stuart auditorium with CARES Act dollars we were able to get some new equipment and that's now been mounted. And so we've got new cameras and new recording equipment in order to be able to do the live streaming in a more seamless way. And so that's up and running and we'll also be able to use that for any rental clients that we have. So far rentals are still kind of slow going because of restrictions with coronavirus but we're starting to see a little bit of uptick with that as well. Let's see. Justin mentions here again the enduring impressions opening and that we were able to have a pianist play at our beautiful grand piano and it was really, really beautiful in that space. And Simon Zalkin was there kind of giving an introduction to the exhibition and to the moors who are the collectors. I thought it was really a fun opening.  And Simon was extremely complimentary. He felt like it was elegant and very classy and I felt like it was really great kudos under the circumstances. Let's see. We've also sort of reinvigorated the Friday afternoon concerts and so the first one started on February the 5th and so those are going to be continuing. Justin's really put together a lot of interesting programs kind of going forward. So we've got the voices of change that happened on the 11th, the history of race and social justice in Longmont. Suchiatro celebrating 50 years, which is also so we had the director. What is it executive director and then also the poet laureate. Bobby Lafave who are he has is also a playwright so they're going to be on that program together. Then we've got the in car series, the air we breathe divided we stand on the future of democracy. And so I do think that part of what he's doing is really trying to reach out to make the programming much more diverse and then also really thought provoking and so I've been really pleased with the programs that he's been pulling together. And then of course we do have a couple of upcoming rentals the Longmont Symphony Orchestra is going to be doing a taping so no audience but doing a taping on the Longmont. I'm sorry in the Stuart auditorium and then the greater Boulder Youth Orchestra is also going to be doing some taping. So attendance for the new exhibition has been quite good. I think that's what this mentions in this section under visitor services so January the 29 was opening day and we had 28 that day and then Saturday was 73 and then Saturdays have been close to sold out or sold out so thus far so we've been doing quite good up just a little bit more to allow more tickets to be available so we're seeing some really good attendance to the exhibition so that's very good for us where we're happy to see that. Elizabeth and some other other people and staff have also been working with Longmont Police Department in order to be able to create a security protocols with the exhibition on site and so we've. We feel good about the attention that we've been getting from police and facilities in terms of making sure that we've got great security for this exhibition so that's been a great collaboration that we've been able to pull off. So she's continuing to sell mystery bags from the day the dead merchandise that she still has left and so that's been going quite well and then we are still working on the attendance numbers from 2020 because of the virtual attendance. For all of these programs that we took online and I'll just extend that thought a little bit further that SCFD as you know requires us to keep track of all of our attendance and they are pretty rigid about how you know what counts for what kind of attendance and how it has to be documented and all of these things and they haven't come out yet to tell us more about how they are counting virtual attendance, but they are putting a lot of thought and kind of policy behind it because all of these organizations are in the same boat all of the cultural facilities in the same boat in terms of heading to move all of their programming online during the pandemic and so they will at some point come out with more guidance about how we count what for attendance for during the time that we've had things go online. But so far what we've seen is that we actually had more attendance during the pandemic than we did prior we we are seeing numbers that are well over 75,000 in terms of people who have participated in our programming online. So, I think that, regardless of what that ends up looking like in terms of SCFD counts, we're feeling really great about the engagement that we saw during the pandemic and with these online programs. You know, the thing that happens with online programs is it's not just people who can come to the door but it's people from across the country and across the world, who are also able to participate so that's really been, you know, very heartwarming to see a lot of that action happening. In our public places we've got new commissioners there and so Angela is working to do orientations with them and, you know, they really are a working board and so what she's devised is basically a sort of mentor mentee relationship so that there's some training that's happening for those new commissioners. And then there's also new task force to work on LDDA and creative district project. So you may recall that we've been talking about a cultural plan for some time and so art and public places actually is this is the year that they are revisiting their strategic plan. So as a result of that we decided to just combine all of those efforts and so our public places is going to be spearheading the cultural plan from here on out. And so at some point I hope that you'll see some invitations to be invited to participate on different kinds of surveys and hopefully focus groups and things like that. So again, timing is a little uncertain yet, and they need to secure a consultant before there's a lot that becomes clear, but hopefully a lot of this activity will happen when we're actually able to meet in person again so that'll be a very good thing to have happen. So we can collect some data and try to understand what people want from arts and culture and long map. She's also working on the sister cities collaboration, which is going to be a project at workman part, and that is basically a collaboration that celebrates the sister city that partnership that we have with Guzman, Mexico. And so those they're going to be a call to artists to get that one off the ground and what when park is actually in the process of being built. And so they were able to sort of get in on the ground level of that project to be able to make sure that that gets integrated into the building of that park. So that's all I have on my directors report any questions from anyone. Thank you. It's just one little report I'd like to give as a chairman, just so you all have a feel for some things that are happening with membership. We sent out 428 renewals today to people who either were behind or that you know whose memberships were coming up for renewal soon. We sent them out was last November so we kind of tried to give people a break since we, you know, you're not quite sure what's happening with people's money and all that but. But the thing that I found most interesting Joanne got some numbers for me today and our current membership number is 577. And in April of 2019, so almost two years ago, we had 757. So we're only down 180 from that. And then what I thought was most interesting were really only down 89 memberships current memberships from last year in February, which was kind of prior to all of the pandemic stuff. So, you know, we've had really a lot of people who have renewed their memberships, you know, without getting a renewal, and who just have continued to support the museum. So I think that that says a lot for the programming that we're doing and just in general for people wanting to support the museum. So I just wanted you guys to know some of those numbers just to. I think we're doing very well and I know when we look at some of the other museums that are really really struggling I think we should be very happy about where we're sitting. I might add to that that. I can't remember if I told you guys but there was there's that state fund arts relief fund that was available for Colorado and we applied for it and we did not get it. And I am actually fine with that because they clearly were trying to target organizations that were on the verge of closing their doors. The application basically had questions like, do you have enough money to pay your staff next week and things like that. So I felt like, you know, we are really in quite good shape. And I think that we should all feel really good about, you know, how the city has has has really protected us and gotten us through this crisis so I feel very good about that. So I don't think we have any old business unless someone is aware of something that didn't make it on the agenda for new business the first thing I actually have a second thing to but has to do with the fact that the city's attorney's office has asked all boards to augment their bylaws with the addendum the electronic participation policy during city of Longmont board and commission meetings. And I think there was a copy of it in your packet so you could see what it was. Basically, I think we're just trying to confirm that what we've already been doing is part of the bylaws. So by the next meeting will know better exactly what form that's going to take because we're not sure if it's just going to be a line item in the current bylaws that will refer to an addendum or if this whole thing will be included in the bylaws. But what I would ask is that maybe we approve the adoption of this augmentation and then we'll figure out how the logistics of how it's actually going to be included in those bylaws in which we can update the next month. So I could read through this but I'm going to assume that you all have taken a look at it basically it's just a policy that's in place for emergency circumstances which I think the pandemic falls into that. And it's just essentially validating what we're already doing. So if somebody would like to move that we would augment our bylaws by adding this into it. I would appreciate it. This is Chris. I'll move. Thank you, Chris. Is there a second? This is right now. Oh, wait, we got it. Go for Rhea. Rhea. Okay. Thank you, Rhea. And all in favor, please raise your hand. Opposed. Okay, that's approved unanimously. And then the second thing that's not on here that I just wanted to mention. And for those of you who've been on the board for a little while, you have probably maybe have seen this already. But one of the things that is usually done with a board is to give tours and to make board members more familiar with whether it's curators at the museum or just different things that the museum does. And since we can't do that. We thought that perhaps in future meetings, what we'll try to do is maybe have some of the different curators at the museum. Give presentations, or perhaps virtual tours of the areas where they work just so that some of you can get a closer view of what's happening at the museum with different staff members. So we just wanted to kind of give you a little idea of what we're going to try to do. I say we, of course, I'm using that very loosely because I have nothing to do with it. But it seemed like it would be nice and maybe I know there was a virtual tour of the collection center that perhaps we could see part of that or something like that too so that for those people who've never seen the collection center. So that would be nice to get an idea what that looks like. So, with that said, that's all I have, are there, does anybody have comments or go ahead. I have another item to add if we're ready for that. I had hoped to be able to get this on the agenda but I needed to do a little bit of investigation before I added it and I didn't get that concluded until today. So I apologize that it didn't appear earlier on the agenda but we have been working as part of the Longmont 150 exhibition. I had been, I say we again, really this is Eric has been working on getting a land acknowledgement statement on behalf of the museum together and he has been working with a consultant Montoya Whiteman who is both She is Cheyenne and Arapaho is that right. Yeah, she's Cheyenne and Arapaho, which are the tribes that are most closely affiliated with Longmont and so she's done a lot of really, really wonderful research for us and has put together a lot of documentation about land acknowledgements and kind of how they're used and how they've been developed. And so just to give you a little bit more information about them. If you're not aware of them. Land acknowledgements basically are a statement that recognizes the Native Americans who whose land you're sort of operating on, and they've become really quite popular because it sounds a little derogatory but but they are being adopted more and more as sort of best practices in museums and in other areas as well. It's my understanding and this comes from Montoya's research that they really developed out of Australia and the indigenous people in Australia and and so they're used in a lot of different arenas, but certainly museums and especially cultural museums have been adopting them very frequently lately. And so, in part of what we've been talking about with Montoya is that she brought to our attention that the city council of Denver actually adopted a statement that they read before every council meeting in Denver. And, and so you know it became an option for us to start thinking about should we should we expand this conversation beyond just the museum and talk about it in terms of the city of Longmont and the city council of Longmont. And so that's really the research that I had to do is to talk to my boss Karen Roney about how would be the best sort of avenue to achieve that goal. And she then needed to talk to the city manager to try to understand better what would be the best way to do it and I think we all have come to the conclusion that it's you guys who get to help us navigate this that to try to understand better what might be the best process what how we might be able to develop the actual statement who should be involved and how we kind of want to move forward with it. As I mentioned and Eric I don't know if you want to pipe up here to talk about some of the research that Montoya has done. I think that she has really informed this conversation. A lot and so I think we've got a really great foundation for continuing the conversation. Eric do you want to add anything to that. I think yeah I think what you said is is absolutely right that we really been been lucky to get Montoya's thoughts on this. She has a lot of amazing connections. She has a lot of people all over the country and so I think it's a really good resource and she's also working with Denver Museum on a similar project they're also looking at a land acknowledgement statement so I think I'm sure, you know, if you all would want I could, we could send her send you all some of the information that she's provided to us about land acknowledgements what they are what what purpose this or things like that as a starting point. That'd be great I'd be very interested in that. It's something that we typically do in higher education as well, starting any of our meetings or presentations will talk about acknowledging the land before we go into this presentation so. We've been doing it pretty informally at the museum, but you know, developing this exhibition and in fact, you know, even Eric writing the book. Every sense in the world to acknowledge what happened before long not was here you know before there was this. This thing called long that you know, and so I think that that it all just makes you know it's very logical to be able to look further back than that and acknowledge who was here before us. And so it's unclear to me you guys exactly what needs to happen but I think probably Eric's right that the first step is for us to share Montoya's research with you. And then, and then what we need to do is really kind of navigate what a process would look like. And Susie I'm sure has an opinion on this as well so maybe we linger just a little bit longer until she's able to join us. But I do think that the key is going to be to figure out the best route to get it to city council. And right in the statement that's the thing we have to actually write the statement. Eric do you want to talk about Montoya's thoughts about that. So, if you haven't heard a land acknowledgement statement they really run run the gamut but a typical one might be something to the effect of you know, we acknowledge that the land we are speaking to you from is the traditional homeland of the Cheyenne and the Arapahoe peoples. And that type of thing Montoya is really advocating for it going a little further than that not just acknowledging it, but actually having some kind of a call to action it's like well that's fine. But what are you going to do about it. And so she is she is talking that there should be something in terms of, and this is a way that you can react to that. So, that is one of the things that we, you know, kind of need to wrestle with, and particularly as a city where it's like well we can't really say, and we think everyone should give to this organization because the city can't really say that in quite the same way that say a private museum might, might be able to make that type statement, but but it just you know it raises awareness, but it also is an opportunity I think to throughout the organization talk about you know what does it mean to be living on what what are what on our gallery we say we are squatters on Indian land. And that is a something that that is sometimes a hard truth to deal with. And I think it's an important one to wrestle with. And in some ways it's that writing of it almost and the outreach and getting a group involved that is as big a part of it almost as the final statement. The final statement is, is, you know, a good piece but but you need to have buy in from a large enough group where it's not just seeming like oh the museum wants us to read this so we're going to do it. Where it really becomes something that the organization as a whole as as agreed to. Can we're not able to hear you. Sorry. I don't necessarily want folks to have to linger to wait for Susie. So maybe what I'll do is just make sure that she sees the recording of this meeting, and then we'll we'll make sure to share all of the materials with her as well. But I do think maybe by the next advisory board meeting if we can come up with a good strategy for a process. And then, you know, stakeholders who we want to be involved with it and sort of how we want to arrive at a final statement I think it will be a good thing for us to be able to do. Sounds good. If anybody nobody else has anything to add at this point. Is there a motion to adjourn. Thomas Thomas. And is there a second. Dale. Thank you. All in favor. All opposed. Okay. Well, thank you all. I have by 15. And we'll see you next month. Thank you very much. Everyone. Thank you Sheila.


CPMs are rising. That means you will get more money per view this month. Look behind me. That's the chart that shows we are spiking towards the end of June. What's so special about June? It is the end of Q2. The second quarter and halfway through the year when ad budgets get spent. This happens every quarter. At the end of March it's Q1. At the end of June it's Q2. At the end of September it's Q3. And of course we all know December, Q4. That's when the CPMs are the highest because that's when the biggest ad spends are done. But we are approaching what could be considered a Christmas in the summer. Christmas in June. So make videos. Focus on getting your best content out now because it'll be worth more than if you wait till July. As soon as July hits it's going to be the start of a new quarter and ad budgets will be refreshed and there will be less money spent and you will make less dollars per view than if you do it now in June. So tell me in the comments below what you plan to do. Send us links to your best videos so we can all appreciate what you are creating and get you more views and get you more comments.

Meanwhile, an international non-governmental organization asked them in Nigeria is working to achieve a Nigeria without irregularities, poverty, and other social and economic problems bedeviling the country. The goal is to improve citizens' participation in governance and strengthen social coercion through inclusive and participatory community development, planning across 16 wards of Mechika-looking government area of Adamoa state. Speaking at the flag of all of the campaign, the acting country director of Oxfam in Nigeria, Tenjani Hamza, disclosed that the organization has identified some deficiencies and gaps in the current planning and budgeting processes in Adamoa state. Also, the cluster coordinator, Just Transition and Inclusion and Commission Manager Duke Benjamin said the gaps identified by Oxfam in the planning and budgeting process in Adamoa state also include irregular release of budgeted funds for implementation of the projects and planning. While we recognize the magnitude of the tasks, we are also acutely aware of the power of unity and our success will go on the foundation of solid partnership with the state and local level authorities and with all stakeholders present in this room. The event is very meaningful as it is important in the context of collaboration between government and development partners. It holds the key to the cooperation, the understanding and smooth implementation as well as sustainability of projects. For Adamoa state, GAZ, Oxfam and indeed other partners, Community Steal the Government Planning, which we call CEP for short, is not a new concept as you all know that's been implemented by GAZ in five local governments already here in Adamoa state also together with Oxfam in other local government areas. For example, in Duray, in DEMSA and others. The implementation in which GAZ stands out because of the presence of the citizen engagement and the participatory planning policy which was launched in June last year. So you get notified about fresh news updates.

Snastro. Hi there, allow me to be the 999th person to make a list of Super Nintendo games that need or deserve Super Nintendo sequels. Before I get started, I want to point out that some games do kind of sort of have sequels on other systems, like Super Metroid has Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission on the Game Boy Advance, which is really pretty dang close to a Super Nintendo. Would I like to see another Super Nintendo Metroid game? Who wouldn't? And that goes without saying for a lot of games, but here's 10 games in particular I really wish existed. The first game I'll talk about is Act Razor. Already I'm kind of cheating since it did get a sequel, but not a sequel anyone really wanted. I reviewed both games, and the second one is kind of disappointing because they completely removed the quote-unquote simulation aspect. You know how some people describe Act Razor as Sim City combined with the side scroller? Well, it's really not obviously, as the city building stuff is nowhere near as complex as even the Super Nintendo version of Sim City. I actually want to see that though, let's see some detail there, or maybe even add a real-time strategy component to things, while keeping and improving the side scrolling levels. Next is Demon's Crest. I gave this game a negative review a while back, and I think it's one of the most overhyped Super Nintendo games, but still, it has so much potential, there's so many great ideas here, so I'd love to see a sequel really not just for the continuation of the awesome Gargoyle's Quest universe, but just to correct some stuff in Demon's Crest too. Like for example, provide some actual direction, as in, tell me where the hell to go for God's sake, and add a few more areas to explore, and polish the level design a bit more so we can have some fun with all of Firebrand's abilities. Staying in that same universe, I'd also love to see a Super Nintendo sequel to Super Ghouls and Ghosts, but for the completely opposite reason, I just want more of this world, I want more levels, I want more challenge, they don't even have to change or update the graphics or anything, I simply just want more Super Ghouls and Ghosts. If there's any flaws to be addressed in this game, it's that a bunch of weapons are just plain useless, so maybe some new weapons should be in order. Otherwise, nothing fancy with this game, just give me six new levels. Next, there's Gradius 3. I really enjoy this game a lot, it's one of my favorite shoot-'em-ups. The customized weapon power-up sequencing is great, and the levels are all unique and really look fantastic. However, it had one fatal flaw, the slowdown. Yep, that's right. Remember the days when the games pushed hardware to the point that the game lagged like crazy? Super R-Type had that problem too, but way worse. In fact, it might have had the most slowdown problems of any Super Nintendo game, but they made a tremendous follow-up game with R-Type 3, the third lightning. Gradius 3 never had a Super Nintendo follow-up, sadly, but I really think it could have made a similar leap that the R-Type series made. I also want to mention Super Tennis. I did a review of this game not too long ago, and in my opinion, it's the best tennis game on the system. Yes, even better than Smash Tennis, people from Europe. But it would have been nice to see this game get the official World Tennis Tour treatment. Take the same game engine, but add real players and real tournaments. No offense to Meyer and Brian and the rest, but I'd rather play as Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal, or even Pete Sampras or Andre Agassi. Also, this game would have to include a real battery save. No 7000 character passwords, please. F-Zero is another game that I think should have had a Super Nintendo sequel. It was impressive enough as a launch title back in 1991, but I really think they could have made a ton of improvements and created some more game modes on a second Super Nintendo game, rather than wait for F-Zero X on N64. It would have been cool to see a feature like being able to create your own race tracks like Excitebike for NES. In fact, since this game is on the Virtual Console, it'd be pretty badass if you could just add that feature plus the ability to share and play other people's tracks. I'm not even sure if that's feasible, but it would be a pretty cool option that I'd like to see. Sparkster is a game that was rife with potential. It seems some people tend to dismiss this game on the Super Nintendo because the series originated on the Sega Genesis, but Sparkster is an original game, not a port. And it really should have spawned its own series of Super Nintendo games. This is another example of a game like Super Ghouls and Ghosts where I would just like more of this world. Keep the gameplay and graphics the same, just more levels, more huge bosses, and maybe add a couple extra abilities for Sparkster too, kind of like how Mega Man X transitioned to Mega Man X2. Of course, there's Yoshi's Island. You'd be crazy if you didn't want a sequel to this game. I was disappointed that both the Game Boy Advance and the 3DS settled for remakes rather than crafting a sequel in the same world. Granted, the 3DS version has a couple new bells and whistles, but it's still the same game. But yeah, they obviously put a ton of effort and resources into this game, not only in the art design, but in the variety of gameplay features here as well. So it seems like kind of a waste to limit it to just one game. It's unlikely, but man, I really hope they include this game in Mario Maker. Next, there's Illusion of Gaia, and yeah, technically this game has a quote-unquote sequel in Terranigma, but I'm talking about a true sequel to the very strange story in Illusion of Gaia. I really like the top-down action gameplay, and some of the dungeons are as inventive as any you'll find on any Super Nintendo game. But the story was so dang weird, I just feel like there's an opportunity there to not only give a deeper explanation as to what the hell is supposed to be happening, but maybe expand its universe as well, and hey, maybe even work in the rest of the trilogy. Soul Blazer and Terranigma into the story as well. Imagine that. Last, of course, I have to mention Chrono Trigger. It's only my favorite game of all time. Why wouldn't I want a true sequel? And really, Chrono Cross barely even counts as a sequel. In fact, if you haven't played it, you'd do your own expectations good if you didn't think of it as a sequel at all. Not to slag on Chrono Cross, it's a perfectly good game on its own, but it's no Chrono Trigger, that's for damn sure. Anyway, I know fan-made rom-hacks like Crimson Echoes and the subsequent Flames of Eternity exist, and from what little I've played of them, they seem like perfectly okay games, but Chrono Trigger deserves better than just okay. But yeah, one pipe dream I have is to actually write my own Chrono Trigger sequel. Hey, why not? I've only played and finished the game like 40 times. But yeah, spoiler alert.  Only he ends up opening the place where Lavos died, but nobody knows Lavos left a message. They are coming! The mother of all Lavos creatures is coming to avenge its dead. I'm imagining like the mother alien in the movie Aliens. Anyway, I'm just bullshitting random ideas I have for a sequel. Don't take it seriously. If you have your own ideas, leave a comment. I'd love to hear them. In the meantime, that about does it for this video. Thanks for watching. Have a great rest of your day.


Oh my god, the pie on the thumbnail. It's really amazing. I need to click it. I need to click it.  Sorry about that. But hey guys, have you ever wondered how you can actually really capture your audience's attention to click on your videos? I know you have, so before we start, click that like sub and gong that bell. Hey guys, my name is Nolden. Welcome to Freedom Central. Yay! The home of all freedom content. Here we will be sharing best practices for you guys who practice on your channel and make a difference. Without further ado, freedom. Quick tips. Thumbnails are the first line of attraction viewers on YouTube can see to entice them to click on your videos. And in order for you to get viewers on your channel. Basically guys, you need to have a really good thumbnail. Before we dive in deeper with this discussion, let us give you three basic principles that can guide you to create your thumbnail. Principle number one is our thumbnails accurately portray the content in the video. Number two, our thumbnails get our audience excited about watching the video. Number three, our thumbnails draw the attention of our audience. Now that you have the basic principles guys, you are ready to dive in deeper with the tactics. Let's dive. Use close-ups on faces, preferably making eye contact. Close-ups on your thumbnails make it more visible to your audience who you are. And depending on your expression, they will instantly know what kind of video it will be. Making eye contact on your thumbnail is also a good tactic to do in order for you to form a human connection with your audience. Number two, show strong emotion. Showing strong emotion can trigger our response in the human psyche that will make them feel genuinely curious on what the video is. These strong emotions are easily identifiable and it makes the viewer want to feel the kind of feeling you are feeling on your videos through empathy. Usually, empathy makes us more invested and connected with each other. Number three, use bright background. When you use bright colored background, it usually sets you apart from the non-bright colored thumbnails. Also, it will help you stand out with YouTube's white background. You can try the sunburst or pinwheel effect to get the maximum chances of getting your videos viewed. Number four, use contrast and outline. This gives your subject more depth of field which makes it stand out even more. Hey guys, standing out is very crucial so keep that in mind. Usage of text. Usually, the title is enough for the texts but in some circumstances, you can insert texts that are thought-provoking making you stand out more on what you want to do on your videos. Bugs and branding. Bugs or watermark is a good tactic to make you stand out more as your audience will know automatically that you published that video. It's all about making your presence known and recognizable for your family. Consistency. In my opinion, this should be number one as consistency is key to making yourself known to your audience. If they know your style, they can simply identify your videos which in turn make you stand out above the clutter of videos out there. Design for the small screen. Studies show that viewers are using their mobile phones more often. It is only logical to also cater to the mobile platform as your audiences are using their smartphones on a daily basis. Choosing colors. Choose colors that complement each other as colors that match each other is very pleasing to the eyes. If you're not familiar to what colors are complementary, you can check out the color wheel on the internet. Usually, the color that you have picked on the opposite side of the color wheel, that color complements the color of your choosing. Number 10, easy to see and understand. Your video should be entertaining, educational, motivational and delight. Don't make your audiences think what you are doing in your videos. It is better if you show exactly what they will get when they view your videos. Keep it simple and sweet guys. Number 11, represent the first 15 to 30 seconds of a video. We do not want to mislead our audiences when they click on our videos. So it's better if the promise of the thumbnail comes in the first 15 to 30 seconds of the video. Avoid placing anything important in the lower right hand corner. You might not notice it, but you might have put their information on your thumbnails. But since it's obscured, it may not be able to be seen by your audiences. Number 13, analyze your competition. Whatever your content is, there will be competition. In every genre or content, you will encounter people having the same content as you. It's good practice to analyze your competition and try to mix and match your thumbnail to make sure you stand out amongst your competition. Play to your strength. That's the episode of Freedom Family. I hope you guys liked it. What tactic do you think resonates with you more? Let us know down below. Also, do you have other tips to share on how to make a thumbnail? Share them down below so that we can learn from each other. Oh yeah guys, these tips came actually from TubeFilter and Frederator. Thank you for creating an awesome article about thumbnails. Looking forward for more useful tips in the future. Before you leave, don't forget to smash that like, subscribe and gong that bell. Gong!
