Welcome to TinyTunes Tuesday. Lew and Adele recreate their live performance from Sunday. Micro-regional references abound. Hello!
I am four track man. Unleashed from the machine. Aggressing. Addressing.
A park outside. Hello and welcome to this. The first. The first.

And Lew Barlow. Raw impressions. I am four track man. You may know me from such podcasts as Raw impressions.
And that's the only one. I am here. Announce Adele Barlow and Lew Barlow. Their first attempt at performing live.
Here. Here. Look. Look around you.
An array of family and friends. Please be trined. Lew Barlow and Lew Barlow. As they jump to speak.
To microphones. I would say. I will be back. I will be back.
Thank you so much. That was echoing. I put that really loud through speakers in the public park. Yes.
Just yesterday. Oh my gosh. Last evening. We went live with Raw impressions in Turner's Falls, Massachusetts.
We were opening for Rockin' Puppies and Homebody. It's Monogue. It's Turner's Falls in the town of Monogue. It's the most confusing.
How the heck does that mean? People are like, you don't know. It's the most confusing town name I've ever seen. It's not great.
Here we are in Turner's Falls. We don't live in Turner's Falls. We live in Greenfield. So who cares?
No one can figure out what's going on in Monogue and Turner's Falls. And then some people actually just want to come in and call it Great Falls now. I know. Well, there's all sorts of falls and monogues and the town of Monogue and we have friends who live in Monogue and it's not Turner's Falls.
Oh my goodness. I can't keep up with y'all. What's wrong? What's happening?
Look it up on Google Maps, people. I would do the research, but I don't know if I care enough. I'm too busy being a Greenfield resident. It's in a big, it's in a bend.
The upper bend of the Connecticut River is actually a geologically up pretty interesting. Let's see how many name drops, local name drops we can do. You just hit the upper bend. That's a- No, that's literally referring to the- I know, but then I'm saying we're also then name dropping the upper bend restaurant.
Yep, that's right. Okay. Also, in Turner's Falls of Montague. Great place.
Oh my gosh. Honestly, one of the best. One of the best. I'm not just saying that because we know the owners.
We're not. And I'm being completely serious. If you are in Turner's Falls, please- Slash Montague. Slash Montague.
Do yourself a favor and get your booty over to upper bend. Holy cats and dogs. The food will delight you. I had an heirloom tomato toast thing the last time I was there and it was made with so much love and beautiful, like some sort of like seasoned salt thing.
I was in heaven and then what did you have? You had like a cool fish toast thing. Oh, yes. I had monk fish.
That was beautiful. It's cool. It's not just vegetarian stuff. Yeah, it does though.
I have also vegan friend Ryan Joel. I wouldn't be surprised if they did a haggis sometime soon. This place is unpredictable. It's true.
Haggis, I believe like a sheep's stomach stuffed with sheep. Ew. Well, that, I mean, here's the thing is upper bend is for all people. All, you know, like anyway.
I was trying to say our friend Ryan Joel, who's a vegan, famous Ryan Joel. He, percussionist extraordinaire, you know him because you listen to that former episode. He had the vegan breakfast sandwich and he was delighted. I feel confident speaking for him because he was delighted.
Give me a hoe, you're all impressions. Your thoughts, your words, your time. It's all about communication. All the fucking time.
Unless you need to be alone for a little while. Think about things. That's okay. You don't have to give me your own impressions all the time.
In case you just need a little bit of time. Give me your all. Your all impressions. Yeah, give me your all.
Your all impressions. Your all impressions. And if you feel like it, like it all, all of your impressions. So this exciting new community center went up in our town of Greenfield.
We live in Greenfield. We're across, I don't know, the river or whatever the heck from Turner's Falls town to Montague. So we're in Greenfield. There was a lot of hubbub in our town.
There was, you know, for this community center being built and I, I spent a lot of time in the post office. I go to the- And then when you say community center. Yeah. No, it is.
Why would- But you don't want to be like, where would you gather inside of this community center? I mean, you could make an appointment. Oh. You call them and they might let you in.
Or they do actually regularly give tours to like young kids. Uh oh. We might be thinking of different community centers. Well, I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of our brand new spectacular brand new fire station.
Honey, that's not the fire station. They demolished the fire station. What? Well, I was building next to the post office that I was just saying I frequent.
Honey, wait. They tore down the fire station. No, no, no, no, no, no. And they built a new community center.
Why would you- Okay, okay, for one thing. Fire fighters are extremely important. Absolutely. These are the people that came at three o'clock in the morning to change a smoke alarm battery for you.
Okay. Yep. You know what? My eyes are really big right now because I feel a little embarrassed.
But you know what? I'm not. Okay. Listen.
And I know you fellow listeners, this is what you do. You know, you have a 12-foot ceiling. I have a 12-foot ceiling. It just is.
It's real high. Okay. I didn't shoot. It just happened.
It's all now. I was thinking of a ladder and climb up on top of it and smash it with a hammer. Exactly. That's the only way to change a battery in a smoke alarm is you get the hammer out and you just- You just do it.
You kill it. That's correct. So I didn't have that in me that night to do it. And what I did is I instead, well, I called the fire department.
Nice. And you know what? Let me just tell you. When I called them, I even said I was like, listen, my smoke alarm is not going to be a little bit.
I was trying to not be hysterical. I was more annoyed because I was like, I don't know. So I said, listen, I don't think there's any smoke, but I won't stop. Did you do 911 or did you call directly to the fire station?
Okay. Did you do 911? No. Okay.
So what I'm saying is I think you may have called 911 and I asked to be directed to the fire station. Okay. So basically, I'm going to call 911 and I'm going to be directed to the fire station. So basically, listen, we live in a small town and they came through for me.
So I said, is this the thing to do? And you know what she said on the other line? Yes. She said, absolutely.
We'll come out and we'll change that for you. Who came out? Okay. So just one solitary fire truck, of course, and maybe one or two guys, one or two firemen.
I walked in. At 3 a.m., I kid you not. The entire Greenfield Fire Department was in front of my house and with like sirens wailing, huge fire trucks. I believe there was two sirens.
Yes. Oh, no. I was so embarrassed. I was just like, oh my gosh, Harry, I'm on my nightgown and it's super late at night and these huge fire trucks come roaring down our street.
But then to make matters worse, it wasn't just to like fire trucks. It was you guys like the entire Greenfield Police Department also showed up. They came to and then they even sent like a couple of ambulances. A couple of ambulances.
There might have been more than one and possibly the fire chief, possibly the police chief. And so they were all gathered in my entryway and we were all, which is actually where the smoke detector was. I, okay, let's just say that it got fixed. So these noble public servants, now their building has been demolished.
Oh, but don't worry. They're okay. They're okay. So they just move their building.
I'm going to take a guess at what this new community center is. Okay. Guess it's a library. It is a Greenfield public library.
This is what they've been going on and on about for years and years and years. Oh my gosh, so much drama. But I thought, like, why would I thought, of course, they demolished the fire station. Why the heck would they?
You just, when they were building a new fire station. Yeah. Of course. I mean, you know, firefighters are, no, the firefighters are still in Greenfield.
They just moved them over behind the YMCA. Don't worry. They're still able to do all their jobs. It's fine.
They moved them behind. Oh, you mean those big tents behind the wall? They are. They're intense now, but those tents are just temporary.
They're going to have a fancy new fire station too. It better be mighty. It better be mighty. I agree.
So we have a mighty new Greenfield public library though, right on Main Street, tucked right next to the PO, the post office there. Post office. Shout out to Lisa. Shout out Lisa.
Shout to Janice who, let me tell you guys, if you're like in a pinch with something, Janice is your gal. She's your gal. Passports. Passports.
Yeah, she's no nonsense. You got to go to Janice's line. She's like, we're going to get this done. We're going to get it done.
Yeah. Pass this guy, the military veteran. He told me a story that he'd actually, he saw Aerosmith play at the YMCA. Oh, you're in Greenfield?
You're in Greenfield. The one that now the, apparently the port firefighters are relegated to a tent behind the YMCA. It's temporary housing. But yeah, he saw Aerosmith at the YMCA in the early 70s.
I love that. So he told you that story because through your many shipping of boxes, he found out your own what you're doing because I kept coming in with these tubes with my hand and Larry. He's like, what are you doing? What do you do?
I see you every day and we don't talk to each other because we're Massachusetts residents and we have very respectful to the point of detached relationship to each other. And he did ask me one day what I was doing. I said I was a musician and then he told me a whole story about, he grew up in Gill, which is this mountain town up here that actually had a really cool hippie rock and roll cult up there that brought all these kind of bands through there. The Renaissance cult.
Yeah, the Renaissance cult. I love all that local lure. But he's also a military veteran. So I don't know how I know that.
It's just part of the story. It's kind of a kid, the tall kid that... I love that kid. He's lightning fast with custom swarms.
Yes. Lightning fast. Yes. Boy.
This is a real local. Okay. Oh. Fort track man's already telling us to shut the F up.
Well, it's a tiny bit too. Tiny tunes. Tiny tunes. Is there going to even be a tune?
No. I don't know. I don't think I'm in this. Okay.
You've got some now. What are you going to do? You've done it. You've done it.
The tiny tunes is now over. I kind of played it. You've been gathering on for the last 15 to 20 minutes. Time to clear off.
New. You need to get this gear out of here. This is Fort track man telling me to make sure that I'm on it. Make sure for the rock and puppies.
The rock and puppies. So that's kind of a very mini-capping operation. This evening in the park. Thank you so much for indulging.
Hello. Dulging it down. Barlow and Blue. Barlow.

He's not the time bandit. He's not the other place. He's not the time bandit. He's the time bandit.
He's the time bandit. Yeah. Fort track man is now titled himself. You need to get this off.
See if you weren't there. It's okay. You were here. Yeah.
