Welcome to Demand and Disrupt a Disability Podcast. I'm your host, Kimberly Parsley. And I'm Sam Moore. How in the world are you today, Kimberly? I am doing great, Sam. How about yourself? Oh, loving every minute of being inside. This is one of those days you need a heater as we speak. You do, you do. It is chilly, chilly here in Kentucky today. Yeah, I don't think we've gotten any sleep yet, but you were telling me before we went on the air here that it was, it was sleeting a little bit in the Corvette city earlier today. It was sleeting a little bit. Yep. Just a little, not much and probably not for long, but yeah. And a little sleep freaked my dog out. She thought it was a whole sky is falling situation. So yeah, biscuit, you said she, she saw that felt a little bit of it and then turn around and I tailed it right back, right back inside. She didn't want any part of that. No part of that. Oh goodness. I don't blame her. So glad we're inside where it's nice and cozy. I am interviewing today. We get to hear from his name is Mr. Paul Airway and he's fascinating man. He's speaker. He has competed in 50 wheelchair races, wheelchair marathons, 50, 50, one in all 50 states. I think. Yeah. He wrote a book about it and he, he lives in Louisville and he also works with a superior van and mobility. So he's going to talk to us some about that. So fascinating stuff here today while we stay in where it's nice and warm, Sam coming to us from the North quail motel, correct Sam? That's right. Yes. That is the, the exact destination that I'm blessed to be coming to you from. We've got fresh coffee. I forget. Well, you, you, you do drink coffee because we've talked about that off the air. You like your, you like your coffee. Usually sugar it down a little bit. No, I do. I do. I do like a coffee. I like tea, basically hot chocolate, any hot drink. I'll take it. Anything with caffeine in it. I do like that too. Yeah, me too. Caffeine is something I got to have as well. Yes, exactly. And you talk about, about your, your coffee on a blabbing in the bluegrass, your personal podcast that you do about all things Kentucky. And I wanted to talk to you about this. You sing the opening song, the theme song for your podcast. I do. Yes, that is, that is me and knock on wood. I think everybody has survived my singing so far, but yes, I appreciate it. Yes. I just, I came up with the lyrics. I think it was during, during one of the, the sleepless nights I had before the, the podcast got cranked up. I'd had the idea for the show and I was just trying to ponder the lyrics. So I was wide awake one night and I'm pretty sure that's, that's when they, they came to me, but yes, I sing it. And my buddy, E.J Simmons on the keyboard, he, he provided the accompaniment, but yes, that's now. So did you, you wrote the lyrics yourself? I did. Uh huh. And so, I mean, you had to kind of compose it. Is that, is compose it like music composing something that you do? Yeah. Well, you know, I used to play piano, so I guess music is sort of in my blood. I sort of, I lost interest in piano a while back and sort of drifted away from it, broke my parents' hearts, I think. But, but anyway, I still, I enjoy music and you know, I don't, I don't maybe write songs on a, on a regular basis, but occasionally it's, it's something that I feel inspired to do. And, and I guess I did that particular time. That's awesome. And do you sing in like a choir or church choir or anything? Uh, not a choir per se. I do sing at, at my church, Three Plug for First United Methodist Church. Yes, I do sing there on occasion. And, uh, I'll do one or two songs here and there with the, with the accompaniment of, uh, you know, E.J, E.J Simmons who leads music in our early service, or sometimes I'll roll with Nicolai Peake who leads music in the traditional ...
