Thank you.
Bill, I understand I've heard you say this is one of your favorite songs here,
The Wayfarer and Stranger.
That's right.
We were in Japan a couple years ago, and he stood out by himself by the river,
wherever we were, and sang this by himself.
And I know this song is touched by heaven when you do it.
You've never done this on TV before, have you, this version of it?
No, sir.
Not this way.
Well, would you honor us tonight and do The Wayfarer and Stranger?
I'll do my best.
