Thank you. This is a song we just recorded. Should be out in a couple of months, a couple of years maybe. Anyway, it's called Dead Man Dead Man When Will You Arise.

This is also a new song (....). You've never heard it before, called Watered Down Love.

All right we gotta get out of here now. I hope we played something that you wanted to hear. Anyway, on lead guitar tonight, Steve Ripley. On the other guitar, the other lead guitar, he's a little bit taller than Steve Ripley, that's Fred Tackett. On the keyboards tonight, Willie Smith. On the drums, Jim Keltner. Jimmy Lee Keltner. Playing bass tonight is Mr. Tim Drummond. All right, and over there is Clydie King. Put the spotlight over there, Clydie King. Regina McCreary and Madelyn Quebec and Miss Carolyn Dennis. I wanna say hello to Clark Mathias if he's here, still here. Clark, stand up and take a bow. (before In The Garden)
