But tell us a little bit about how did you come to be working? Because when you look at the lineup of the people who were involved in the recording of your song, They're a very different lineup to the Elton John band that then followed.
22:47
It happened quite a lot.
22:49
Elton John was relatively new on the scene at that point.
22:53
And he probably hadn't got his band together.
22:57
So we were session guys.
22:59
And so we were often played with people that have a hit record and then they form a band or whatever.
23:05
We often didn't know what happened to their, you know, we were doing so much stuff.

45:58
yeah yeah but who would you say you admired the most let me frame it in that way
9:24
And then it was that that basically led you to the bass? Yes.
9:28
Absolutely.
9:29
In those days, you know, all the young men got called up to military service.
9:35
Yeah, so call up was coming, you know, so that you were called up around about 17 to 18 years old.
9:42
And my mother heard an announcement on the radio and it said, the Royal Air Force is seeking young men to train as musicians.
9:51
And she was mad about music, but I'd had no proper, I'd learned to play the Hawaiian guitar.
9:57
hard bit you know and she applied for it she on my behalf didn't say a word to me because if she'd been to me about military service and all that i just wouldn't have gone along with it you know i was a very awkward kid but anyway i got back from attending the torquay technical college doing a commercial course at shorthand typing and all that and bookkeeping
12:36
But did you play the double bass before you went into the military or only because of going into the military?
34:38
Yes.
34:39
Let's get into it.
34:41
So what is the U brush is it's kind of like, I can say the difference between a regular toothbrush that is passive, passive, meaning it just sits there.
34:52
Right.
34:54
And an electric toothbrush is, a real electric toothbrush that moves the bristles in a way that they have an effect that's positive for removing blah from your teeth, not damaging the teeth.
35:09
And so how you use that electric toothbrush, if you use it properly, and again, and if it's a good one, not a fake, like just one that's buzzing around.
35:19
How you use it is different.

i mean you already have um and it makes me want to say ooh so sorry um but but i feel like it's a good thing um in this case uh tell me a little bit more about things that sort of distinguish this brush from others that are on the market when people are like oh i already have a detangling brush all of this stuff um why why should they consider your brush
