_ _ _ _ _ Joe Coria!

I told Phil I think that's a great idea, to do something_
It's his 25th anniversary, celebrating his great career on the air.

and happy to see him making that kind of an effort.
It's a great idea. _ _ _ _
_ That was my point.
It is, it's a great idea.
Our next guest is a favorite around here,
and his current tour takes him to the place called Rockefeller's in Houston,
on the 16th of November, I'm guessing, eh? _
_ _ _ _ And then to Los Angeles' _ Wadsworth Theater on the 21st also of this month.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Randy Newman.
Randy!
I
