Thanks a lot, thank you.
I think probably a number of you jazz hands probably know our
keyboard player already.
Great, just finished playing that last tune on the accordion, but
a great, great pianist, Mr.
Larry Goldings, Larry Goldings.
This band just cut a, we cut
an album of cover tunes, really just other people's hits.
But this is one of those tunes,
I learned this from Jimmy Webb, the guy who wrote it.
This is a song he wrote for Glenn
Campbell, country singer named Glenn Campbell, a tune called Wichita Lineman.
