BECAUSE I HADN’T BEEN IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN 10 YEARS”. 
“WHAT A DIFFERENCE 10 YEARS MAKES”! -JOSEY SCOTT ON THE FAILED
SALIVA REUNION
HE GOES ON TO SAY WITH COVID, HIS SON GETTING SICK AND
AS THE “WORLD JUST SHIFTED GEARS”, CHANGES IN THE INDUSTRY,
THE REUNION “JUST IMPLODED AFTER THAT”.

OPPORTUNITY”.


21:30   “I HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS GONNA BE THE LAST TIME
I WOULD EVER GET TO WALK ON STAGE WITH WAYNE SWINNY AND I’M JUST
SO GLAD WE GOT TO PLAY THAT GIG TOGETHER”

“THE UNIVERSE ABSOLUTELY KNOWS WHAT IT’S DOIN’”
WITH RESPECT TO THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF A REUNION/
TOUR: “MAYBE WASN’T MEAN TO BE IN THAT FORM, IN THAT
CONNOTATION” “IF THAT’S THE CASE, I’M GLAD IT DIDN’T HAPPEN AND
I’M GLAD WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE BLUE RIDGE”.


22:55   WE DISCUSS WHAT IT WAS LIKE JOINING THE
BAND IN FRONT OF A REPORTED 60-100k PEOPLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
OVER A DECADE WITH THE NEW SINGER ON THE SIDE OF THE STAGE.


“IT WAS ABSOLUTE MAGIC MAN”

24:20   HE TALKS ABOUT BEING NERVOUS BEFORE GOING
ON STAGE AND HIS WIFE WALKED OVER AND SAID WHAT HE NEEDED TO HEAR
TO GET ON STAGE:  SHE SAID, “YOU BELONG HERE”
“AFTER SHE SAID THAT, IT JUST CENTERED ME”.

                 
“I’M ACTUALLY GONNA GET A TATTOO THAT SAYS “YOU BELONG
HERE”
26:25   WE DISCUSSED ODD JOBS
THAT JOSEY DID WHILE ON HIATUS AFTER LEAVING SALIVA.


HE TALKS ABOUT DOING DRUG COUNSELING FOR THE SHERIFF’S DEPT FOR 3
YEARS IN HIS HOMETOWN (BEFORE MOVING TO TULSA) AFTER GETTING
CLEAN OFF OF PRESCRIBED MEDICATIONS.

IN 2016, HE TOOK “PEER RECOVERY SPECIALIST” CLASSES IN
TULSA TO HELP VETERANS, HOMELESS AND OTHERS THAT DIDN’T HAVE
RESOURCES TO FIND DRUG AND ALCOHOL REHAB.

“IT WAS ALMOST AS GOOD A FOOD FOR THE SOUL AS MUSIC IS”

30:00   WE TALK ABOUT JOSEY JOINING POISON ON STAGE
LAST SUMMER IN TULSA, OK AT THE BOK CENTER.


“ME AND BRET HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD FRIENDS OVER THE YEARS,
HE’S ALWAYS BEEN REALLY SUPPORTIVE OF MY CAREER AND MY
COMEBACK”.

“IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE TO GET TO GET ON STAGE WITH MY HEROES
IN FRONT OF A SOLD OUT CROWD”
32:09   WE ASK THE QUESTION IF JOSEY
SCOTT’S SALIVA WILL WRITE NEW MUSIC OR JUST TOUR PERFORMING THE
SONGS FROM THE JOSEY SCOTT’S SALIVA ERA.


“I’VE THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT THAT, AND FOR RIGHT NOW, I’M JUST
GONNA KEEP, WHAT I CALL “DELIVERING THE PACKAGE””.


HE GOES ON TO TALK ABOUT TOURING THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKETS,
EUROPE AND SOUTH AMERICA.

“MUSIC IS MEDICATION, MUSIC IS MEDICINE TO PEOPLE THAT ARE
HURTING” -JOSEY SCOTT
35:40   I ASK WHY JOSEY SCOTT DIDN’T
JUST CALL THE BAND SALIVA.
“I DON’T WANT TO CONFUSE THE MARKET AND I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW
WHAT THEY’RE GETTING, I WAS GONE FOR 10 YEARS, AND WHEN PEOPLE
HAVE SEEN SALIVA (THE PAST 10 YEARS), THEY’VE SEEN THE “BOBBY
ERA” AND I JUST WANT IT TO BE CLEAR TO PEOPLE WHAT VERSION
THEY’RE GOING TO SEE”


 


37:30   “I JUST WANNA LET THE PEOPLE KNOW
WHICH DRUG THEY’RE GETTIN’”
37:35   WE DISCUSS IN MORE DETAIL THE NEW SONG
“HORIZON” THAT WAS WRITTEN AND RECORDED BY WAYNE SWINNY
ALONG WITH JOSEY SCOTT AND BOBBY AMARU WHO ARE WRITING AND
COMPLETING THE VERSES DUBBED WAYNE SWINNY’S “SWAN
SONG”

JOSEY GOES ON TO TALK ABOUT THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR WAYNE
SWINNY AND REFERENCES THAT AT THE END OF THE EVENING AS BOBBY
AMARU FINISHED HIS THOUGHTS, THE SONG WAS PLAYED ON THE CLOSING
PHOTOS

A VERSION OF THE SONG CAN BE FOUND HERE FROM VIDEO AT THE
MEMORIAL DURING THE CLOSING OF THE CELEBRATION OF WAYNE SWINNY’S
LIFE

https://youtu.be/F89QAvDpsMU?t=199

39:20   WHEN JOSEY ASKED BOBBY ABOUT THE SONG,
BOBBY NOTED “THAT WAS THE LAST SONG WE RECORDED
TOGETHER”


BOBBY SAID “HEY MAN, WHY DON’T WE GET INTO THE STUDIO
TOGETHER AND YOU CAN WRITE THE 2ND VERSE, AND THE CHORUS IF YOU
WANT TO, & WE’LL DO THIS TOGETHER, SINCE IT’S WAYNE
SWINNY’S SWAN SONG.  WE’LL DO THIS AS THE BEGINNING LEAD
SINGER AND THE CURRENT LEAD SINGER””

41:45   JOSEY CONFIRMS THAT WAYNE SWINNY DID IN
FACT RECORD GUITARS ON THIS SONG AND IT IS HIS LAST SOLO
RECORDED.


“IT’S ONE OF THE BEST LEADS HE’S EVER PLAYED, IT WILL MAKE THE
HAIR ON THE BACK OF YOUR NECK STAND UP”


JOSEY HOPES TO GET HIS VOCALS DONE IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO
(SUMMER OF 2023).

43:00   WE GO ON TO RECAP A FEW OF THE UPCOMING

NOTABLE STOPS AT THE STURGIS RALLY, WHISKY A GOGO OF WHICH HE’S
NEVER PLAYED.


44:45   JOSEY MENTIONS HIS BAND WHICH INCLUDES
HIS SON AS WELL.


45:40   JOSEY DISCUSSES BRIEFLY ABOUT BEING BACK
ON THE ROAD AFTER MORE THAN A DECADE.


“IT FEELS AMAZING MAN, I ENJOY IT EVEN MORE NOW” “I KNOW HOW
TO BE GRATEFUL AND MORE THANKFUL FOR IT” “I GET TO DO IT WITH A
SOBER MIND AND A CLEAR HEAD, IT’S JUST A BLESSING AND THANKFUL TO
THE FANS”.
