first of all thank you very much ups and
it’s great great for me to be here on
stage with Ted and that technology
entertainment and design I thing and I
kind of bring in the entertainment here
just when I was about to leave home I I
almost came without my guitar but then I
figured I said I should have this along
and kind of it’s part of me and it’s
like a soldier with a gun and a man were
to get to guitar now I think for by the
way this is not this is not fancy dress
you know kind of you might be thinking
I’m coming out of a fancy dress gig or
something like that you know what this
is okay anybody tell me that’s that’s a
cowboy hat these are cowboy boots and
that’s a belt buckle and you know my
friend there he said he kind of Leahi
like Mike you like my clothes uh my name
is Bobby cash but I’ve got another name
the one I was born with and I’m very
proud of it
it’s bulky showed us blow you all so
in case anybody went sometimes when
people hear me sing or talk dress like
this at Bobby Cash vodka shoulders
Luallen Dehradun carnival on with rockin
cow who I was born here in this town
super kindest on you in case anybody has
any doubts about that I’ve been gifted
with a gift of music and this is
something that comes from the heart now
most places I go to I talk very little
because I figure that people would
rather hear me saying than talk I’m sure
you would also prefer that but this is
it’s it’s TED talk so I’m supposed to
talk so but you also would like to know
what what what makes a guy born a
Dehradun into something like this you
know and you just had a herd ma’am talk
about the way you dress up and stuff
like that and I totally agree with you
and I’ve been inspired by what
everybody’s been saying but I think
ma’am it figures were impressed it says
it time place and occasion so I figured
out – I almost forgot my hat coming in
here but I was born in this beautiful
valley Dehradun and now I don’t come
from a family of professional musicians
and stuff like that my father came from
a business background and but somehow
and I just thank God for it because I
think music is a gift of God and you
have to have it’s something in your
genes or something that nature or God
gets you with so I was born with that
even though I remember I was looking at
my some of my results when I was in
school and I think when I was in grade
one I went to a convent school and I was
a good student by the way a lot of
people think musicians are kind of slow
you know what I mean I was good student
throughout all he’s got top marks
education I’ve I’m even in certain
circles I’m known as dr. Bobby cash so
so I’ve studied you know I’m not a
dropout or anything but
but I was looking at this result and
this was great one and and I stood first
in class and it was in those days you
had for certain subjects you had remarks
and it was like drawing good whatever
and there was this thing my mother had
kept this and when it came to saying
there was there was music or singing and
at the end of it it said for making a
living doing that but this was back then
you know yeah I looked at that I said it
doesn’t figure but I’m sure you know the
good sister my teacher she must have
been right I must have been terrible but
I don’t know as a group I discovered had
a gift for music now before I go and I
won’t tell you I’m entirely self-taught
uh we we had a memory champion you’re
yourself talk back when I was growing up
I’ve developed very old anybody I know
not too old but but but I come from way
back I I come from a time when I was
growing up we we had records you know
were records a vinyl yes I come from
time we didn’t even have cassettes then
they came later no CDs no no iPods and
digital music music was very hard to
come come by and somehow strangely
enough I love all kinds of music I grew
up in a family which loved music I was
crazy enough attracted to country music
that’s the music that comes from America
music of the Cowboys I love Cowboys when
I was a kid you know I love wearing hat
if I could if I could get hold of boots
or whatever
I love western movies I love reading so
a lot of the I still read a lot but a
lot of a reading has to do used to be
Western this if Cowboys attracted me
this music attracted me
but this was me this was music that was
alien who are part of the world and now
sometimes when people hear me sing and
have sung everywhere I mean even sung in
Texas with the Cowboys there is where do
you learn this music and people say did
you grow up in the US or somewhere no I
didn’t Leonard there I learned it right
here in Dehradun Clementine where I grew
up but it’s it’s something I had a gift
from God and something inside of me from
the heart kind of a passion I was little
boy growing up and I used to hear
singers like Johnny Cash and Hank
Williams saying and then I used to hear
great guitar players but somehow I I I
said I could do it I felt inside of me
these days we live in a very different
time with time of awareness we live in a
new India where where where we believe
we can do anything but back then for for
a boy like me to say you know and I’m
and I’m a good guitar player by the way
and I’m a good country music artist but
back then to think that you know
somebody say hey Jose Feliciano is a
great guitar player or Eric Clapton or
somebody and I love those guys a good
admirer
any any talent regardless but I actually
heard that as yeah so could i I mean I’m
I can play as good I kind of believed
that it was never thought where I came
from how I grew up and Dehradun was a
little town then it was it was more of a
forest there was nothing here
I had no YouTube no internet nothing
just these records and I some hours it’s
kind of strange you know but it was fate
or whatever destiny my one of my
mother’s sister’s Matt she went to live
in Nashville Tennessee which is the home
of country music and back then she’d
she’d send us records and stuff like
that you know so it was it just came to
me you know it’s funny because once you
have a passion for something and there’s
something real inside of you
we’ll just they just come you know
regardless of where you are ever since I
was kid very good I’ve always I somehow
I always had boots
I love boots always had him guitars even
though my dad came from a business
background stuff like that he made sure
I have you tears you don’t get a lot of
guitars it was hard getting Springs I
always had them I just thank God I thank
my parents I thank my family whatever I
had the most beautiful environment
I had no teacher but I had music have a
gift inside of me I just started drawing
from within it so a lot of the stuff it
doesn’t matter where what you want to do
in life you have to look within your own
self it’s something like that you know
it’s it’s hard for me to explain you
know and for me I used to hear these
records as to your great music and I
just wanted to play it I nobody to show
me how to do it
so I figured I said I’m gonna teach
myself to teach yourself you you you
have to know more than you know i i’m
not i’m not against teachers but i I
couldn’t find one and by the time I
taught myself they started playing and
some of the other people around town
used to play I I was already playing the
head of whatever so I just had to draw I
said I’ve got a gift and I’m gonna go
with it and it takes hard work and I
found a very unique way of practicing
like a lot of musicians because because
I was a normal kid you know I’m you know
you you’re a champion because you gave
up so many things I didn’t want to give
him a lot of things I wanted to go out
and play my cricket and stuff or
whatever so I I started living with a
guitar I’d have a guitar with me to
sleep next to me every time you know I
just
pick up and start playing then do
something else
even when I was came home from school I
had my guitar booming I will play
something and that’s the way I still
practice now I made it part of my life
now I had never planned so bill I never
planned on becoming a professional
musician that happened much later but I
one thing I always believed in was
excellent I said if I’m going to play
this I’m going to be the I’m gonna play
be like the best in the world I’ve
always been very self-critical you know
I’ve said I want to be I I first had no
new I got to know what excellence is I
heard the best guys playing those days
on records and but I said I want to I’m
going to play like that I said a very
high standard to myself but I had nobody
to teach me but it was just this thing
for excellence and I’d keep playing all
the time that’s how I play now I just
while back I was sitting in the back
room and I took my guitar old and you
know I can be I could do this talk and I
could still be you know doing my
practice and you know sometimes at home
when I’m even now III can watch TV I can
watch the news and add my guitar in my
hand and just plain you know I could I
could be with people with my family and
I’m talking to say this is going on this
is going on I’m very much part of what’s
happening and part of a conversation and
I’m a guitar in my hand and sometimes I
end up playing maybe like a halftime
myself you know I might have played ten
hours in a day because I love to create
new than this you know
so not of course I don’t sing so much
when I’m with people you know because
this is kind of not to improve it but
imagine if I have started talking to us
early start singing you know but I can
still talk and I can still keep doing
this inner
[Music]
and just to live while back one of the
young young boys from this I think he
came to my place he spoke to me
yesterday he said doesn’t musician’s
need to have a broken heart you want to
know the answer
Hiroki seen Ebola Japan Kalakaar Cadell
Toronto Kalakaar levanta you wanna know
the secret camera deal to that you know
I’m a songwriter many times I write and
country music has a lot of heartbreaking
soul songs about heartbreaks and I
before I sing a heartbreak song I always
tell people this is not about me I have
a very happy guy you know music is about
an art is about being sensitive more
than a broken heart you need a sensitive
heart it’s kind of a soft sensitive
heart and sometimes I don’t wish a
heartbreak on anyone anybody here
inspiring to be a musician or implant to
arts you don’t need a broken heart but
you need a sensitive heart but life
brings it own own its own heartbreaks
anyway you know if you’ve lived long
enough I’ve lived I’ve been around for a
long time you down the journey of life a
lot of things happen there’s ups there’s
downs
there’s losses sometimes it’s personal
sometimes you just just look look around
the things you know just break your
heart anyway
if your heart is sensitive maybe for
some people it’s good to get their
hearts broken I did that hard but music
is about something from the heart about
being sensitive that kind of thing so a
broken heart is not a must but if your
heart is broken don’t worry use it
probably come up with a great song or
you touch people’s life or if you paint
or do whatever it is but having a broken
heart doesn’t mean you go wrong crying
in front of people you know
you understand what it feels like and
and and and you try to connect hard to
hard it is that kind of thing it’s it’s
funny being you know I’m and I’m an
entertainer the what really motivates me
is is I have a very simple outlook in
life I think I’ve been blessed with a
gift and the gift is to put a smile on
people’s faces if I can the very least I
can do that
I’m happy you know I sing for that
moment I’m it’s happened many many times
with me that you know I’ve gone in there
there have been people just coming in
they’ve gone gone away with a smile
that’s the biggest reward that that an
artist can get I could give you if I had
more time many tips on how to practice
and you know how to be a successful
artist it’s all good it’s good it’s good
to be sharp it’s good – it’s good to
have an educator a mine because if
you’re if you’re smart as an artist if
you want to be music artists it works
everywhere and you know how to look good
and you’re excellent it’s not going to
fail you and you’ll end up at the right
place – do you have to be ready you have
to be ready all the time you know if you
wanted me to sing I could just sing and
play something you want to hear
something before I go what would you
like to hear you want your broken heart
so so
[Music]
this got out of tune
this is all I love to sing I grew a
bremen I’ll be in a cowboy a lovin the
cowboy ways still not in tune is the
weather oh alright I know what stand in
line until you think you have the time
to spend an evening with me
if you go someplace to dance I know that
there’s a chance you wouldn’t be leaving
with me and afterwards we drop into
quiet little place have a drink or two
and then I’ll go and spoil it all by
saying something stupid like I love you
[Music]
thank you very much I love you oh thank
you
it’s great great for me to be here on
stage with Ted and that technology

kind of bring in the entertainment here
