A couple of requests that we need to do before we get away, if it's okay with you.
Hey Ray, is it okay if we do one extra song?
I'm sorry but we got these requests and [C]
if not, well, I don't [N] know.
This is a song that Matt is going to sing and help us with.
It was written about a couple of dudes that came over here in the 1700s.
They were commissioned by the British government to mark out some land lines
because the British governors were feuding over the lines of their territories.
And so they came over here and drew the lines.
Their names were Charlie Mason and Jeremiah Dixon.
So, you know, they drew that line too.
Yes indeed.
Here's Matt Wingate.
