Tim: WE FIRST MET TODAY'S
MUSICAL GUEST BACK IN JANUARY
WHEN SHE WAS JUST 12 YEARS OLD.
AND NOW SHE'S A WHOPPING 13.
HER NAME IS ELLA GIBSON.
SHE JOINS US AT ciSTAGE.
WELCOME, FIRST OF ALL.
Guest: HI.
I'M GLAD TO BE HERE.
Tim: TELL ME A LITTLE BIT --
I'M FASCINATED HOW A YOUNG GIRL
GOES FROM DOING ALL THE THINGS
THAT LITTLE GIRLS DO TO ALL OF
THE SUDDEN BEING ON STAGE AND
PLAYING GUITAR AND SINGING
AMAZING MUSIC.
HOW DID YOU MAKE THAT
TRANSITION?
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO PICK UP
THE GUITAR IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Guest: I STARTED PLAYING
WHEN I WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD.
MY DAD WAS THE ONE THAT WANTED
ME TO START PLAYING GUITAR.
Tim: SO HE PLAYED.
AND YOU DECIDED PERHAPS YOU
SHOULD OR COULD, TOO?
Guest: MY DAD DOESN'T PLAY.
HE WANTS TO PLAY.
HE JUST WANTED ME TO LEARN.
Tim: LIVING VIE CAROUSLY
THROUGH YOU NOW.
NOT ONLY ARE YOU DOING THIS ON
YOUR OWN, YOU HAVE YOUR OWN
BACKUP BAND.
INTRODUCE US.
Guest: HERE IS BRUCE.
AND BEHIND ME IS JIMMY.
AND OVER THERE, WE'VE GOT JOEY.
Tim: THEY PERFORM TOGETHER
SOME, TOO, AS THE FABULOUS
HOEDADS.
HOW DID YOU CONVINCE THEM TO
PLAY BACKUP FOR YOU?
Guest: I'M SURE THEY ASKED
ME.
[LAUGHTER]
Tim: THAT'S THE WAY IT
SHOULD BE.
EVEN BETTER.
DO YOU WRITE YOUR OWN MUSIC, DO
COVERS?
Guest: I WRITE A COUPLE OF
MY OWN SONGS.
Tim: AND HOW WOULD YOU
QUANTIFY YOUR STYLE?
I HEARD A LITTLE BIT OF SOUND
CHECK.
Guest: I LISTEN TO A LOT OF
OLD STUFF.
MY MUSIC RANGE IS ALL OVER THE
PLACE.
Tim: WHAT ARE YOU STARTING
WITH TODAY?
Guest: PRISON BLUES BY
JOHNNY CASH.
