May many of you are aware of the fact and many of you enjoy the fact that Tonnie has been with us now for many years. Thursday night with Tani talks para and throughout our schedule on the Nahome Seagull network with different uh aspects of his professional life and and of his um observations through life that he brings to us during his different segments Tonnie talk sessions uh and many others and um now Tonnie has drifted into the area of music and that leads us to today's new music alert with Tonnie Gutman with us live via telephone. Ani a pleasure to welcome you back to JM in the >> AM. >> Thank you so much for having me. >> You know it's Roesh Adar. I feel I should start with asking you how Fel's doing. [laughter] >> Fible is doing great. We are in the middle of book three and uh we're very very excited about that. We have a whole new method of how we did it. We have the family the items and that's uh that's a big project. We made it bigger this time. So I need around two years to finish it. So not this year. So uh and for those of you who wonder why I'm asking about fial and joking around a bit on this roader, uh Tonnie has actually gone ahead. But what's what's the what's the official title of the book? >> The third one that we're in the process is >> no the two the two that are out already. What's the official title? >> Uh the first one is fine fal fun with fo and family on Barnes & Noble and Mulu and [clears throat] the second one is fine fal the world tour Israel journeys. Amazing. And that's the goal. The goal is for people of all ages to sit around and find Fial. He's somewhere in that picture, right, Donnie? >> That's right. Him and his family and those mitzvah items that they're always losing. >> He's He's somewhere He's somewhere in that scene. What is a typical mitzvah item that Fal and his family are losing on a constant basis? >> So, I tried thinking of the different items that are common seen in a Jewish home. So that's like the candalabra that we like for shabas or a kala roll the big kala loaf is lost that talis is lost in the sitter the tucka box those are some examples uh and in all seriousness families are loving this and they're enjoying it very much we enjoy featuring it and those of you who who want it like you like you said you can just literally go to Barnes & Noble um and and and and find the uh the find or where is fal right what's the name again >> it's on bn.com easy website find you type it in it's one of the first searches that you could find we're also on teacher spay teachers for those teachers out there >> amazing all right good job on that and now you've uh with all the different things you've been doing presentations on the para presentations about different aspects of life finding fal as we just discussed you're now drifting into the area of actually releasing music tonnie gutman tell me about the beginning of this story about you deciding to start composing and releasing some musical selections. >> So, thank God I've been playing music since I was 10. My family had said that, you know, I lost my dad when I was nine. I lost my brother when I was 20. And we had thought it was a very good idea to get into music, especially as a kid to find a way to, you know, express my ways emotion. I wasn't able to really go through that, you know, healing process otherwise. I believe that music for me was very healing. I started playing at 10. I started writing music at around 14. And I've had these ideas with me for years, but I never had a really good medium of going through it. So I worked with this beautiful, amazing program. I put all of my tunes in. I put all of my lyrics in. I spent hours and hours and hours. And this is the first CD. Music for me is very, very, very cathartic. When I play my guitar, my acoustic guitar, my family got me the best guitar in the world. It's Martin for those of them who are curious, the Martin guitar. And when I play and I sit there, it's very cathartic. So, one of the series, the music series, which is God willing going to be four or more CDs, is going to be called Catharsis. And each one is going to have a theme. So, the first one is called the rhythm of the climb because when you go through life and you struggle, it's a climb. And then the next one, God willing, is going to have freedom hopefully, and then you find your home, and then you find your belonging. So, each one has a theme. >> How many selections are on the First of all, it's unusual. A lot of people say they don't even bother releasing um musical selections on CD. They make them available only digitally. So that's a big advantage to those who want that medium. How many selections are on the first album? >> It is digital technically. We released it to a distributor. They used to have it physically, but it is technically digital. And it is available. >> Yes, it is available everywhere music is in the in the digital sphere. The first CD has 19 tracks, 18 songs plus the bonus. >> So we can call it a CD even if it's not a CD. We call it a digital CD for those uh to be uh showing biases out there for those music afficionados. [laughter] >> Yeah, just to be technical and to get it 100% correct. Tonnie Gutman is with us live via telephone. All right. I'm assuming that you in addition to composing these songs, you're responsible for the vocals on these songs. Are you responsible for everything on these songs? >> So, the way I did it is I made it into two versions. I have the cover version where it sounds like a full studio selection and then I have the raw version where I do my version because this was the best way to go about it. I felt some people have their own personal studios and personal selections but thank god we're a family of uh seven almost eight. So due to different types of constraints this is the best way to go about it. So I give the audience two ways to listen to it and be both are beautiful and both have their different flavors and their different abilities and it really I thank God it came out really well and I cannot wait to keep releasing I'm on a little bit of a schedule so that we we pace it but in another life I would have released all of them at once >> and I and I assume that all the uh that all the digital platforms that have it all people need to do is search your name I would assume. >> So we go by Tonnie G. I wanted it to be an artist's name that's catchy. My logo is my pick and my guitar that I use. I found a picture of the Martin. And then they could just type in Tonnie G or they could type in catharsis. They could type in the rhythm because all the CDs will be called the rhythm of blank. Catharsis, the rhythm of >> All right. And you're looking for Tonnie G, folks. T A N I G. Uh if you searched for the artist on your digital platforms, first song we're going to be doing today is called The Change. Tonnie Gutman, here's your chance to tell this wonderful musical audience what is the change about. >> So, each of my songs has a different flavor. It has a different topic and has a different heartbeat to it. Has a different reasoning behind it. The change came to me. The idea that we all can change. We could all work on ourselves every year. Especially when we think about Rashana and Kipper time. Even if it might be scary, even if it might be fearful, we have the ability to change ourselves. Only we can change ourselves. Well, Tonnie Gutman, we're calling this a new music alert Tuesday at JM in the A.M. Song is called The Change, and you're listening to JM in the A.M., [music] >> [music] >> It's all crystal clear. You should have no fear. Change can happen here. [music] Even over a year. Even over a year. What can we do? [music] It's up to you. We can change over a year. You should [music] have no fear.

[music] Tonnie, you've got to be happy with that sound. I mean, that really came out beautiful. >> Thank God. >> Thank God. I love it and I appreciate it. I also want to let your listeners know that I try to do something that's unheard of in the music uh Jewish element. As far as I know, I don't know any other country, western folk, uh Jewish type of a singer. All of my songs are in the country/cunchy rock genre. So, I'm hoping it's something different for all of your listeners as well. >> All right. It's definitely different. We uh we we think you're joining a small and unique group uh that really that really does it well. And I'm not kidding. And it's funny you say it because as I'm listening to it uh I'm thinking of um you know who would appreciate it. And there is a very loyal group out there of people who love that you know country western Jewish angle. Let's put it that way. And I think that you're you know you're really hitting their sweet spot on that. >> Thank you very much. Tonnie Gutman's with us. Tonnie G.

Next one up is Troubled Times. Tonnie, your opportunity to tell us what this one's about. Go ahead. So, this one came to me many many many years ago, but I revamped it over the past few years because we've seen a lot a lot a lot of craziness and madness and difficulties in the world, especially from my perspective. Thank God I'm a young Jewish family, you know, seven God will only eight very soon for us. It should all go well. Amen. >> But it's a very it's very difficult. Thank you. It's very difficult to make it in this world. Not even to make it financially, but to make a difference. And there's a lot of craziness out there. people fighting with one another, people not getting along. And I wanted to make a song that deals with this and tells people, "Let's just get along. Let's let's be well with one another. The world already is so difficult. Let's try to make it through for one another." >> Fantastic. It's called Troubled Times. It's a new music alert Tuesday with Tonnie G with us live via telephone in the AM. [music] >> [music] >> Trouble times. [music] Don't mind keeping [music] life. You'll be fine. We live in such troubled times. [music] It's hard to make. There's way too much crime and [music] people really whine. We live in such troubled times. There's way too [music] much online.

And we're doing a couple of them this morning here during a new music alert um Tuesday at JM in the A.M. Have you explored any uh live music performances? Is that something that's in the cards for you or this is something that remains in the studio? >> This is for now in the studio. I'd love to perform live as long as they could accommodate my wife and children because that would be hectic chaos otherwise. But we're hoping uh at some point if people really love the music that would be a huge dream. That would be wonderful. >> And uh you got to work on uh you got to work on the country western sound. um you know in a studio it's one thing live it uh it can be a bigger challenge right >> absolutely but I think it's a a very unique type of a sound so I'd be happy to do that if people have the venue we're happy to do it >> oh you have no idea you you did this at the right time there is so much interest at least I find it now I mean look it's it's it's over 40 years I can tell you when the peaks and valleys were for these types of uh you know for these these types of selections right now I think we're in a very very high point for it.

The uh the song we're going to close with is I Want to Is it Is it entitled I Want to Climb Rock? Is that the name of the song? We have I want to climb which is the regular one and on my CDs I include a bonus one. So I I choose one or two tracks to give it a special style. So even though I play in country I also mix it in the rock version flavor sometimes to a song. >> All right. Now I understand that. So the song is officially entitled I want to climb. Tell us about it as we say goodbye here on a Tuesday. Thank you so much for all the time and this song a lot of a lot of people deal with a lot of anxiety especially nowadays and this song I thought especially for people in life that have to that have to deal with you know mental illness that have to deal with things that have to deal with worries and concerns all their life.
