A friend is visiting.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
Warren Entner of the Grassroots.
Warren, delighted to have you here.
How long have you been working at being an entertainer?
Oh, well, I used to come home from school when I was 12, 13, 14 years old.
17, 18, 19 years old.
You look better.
American bandstand.
Yes, make it a little more up there.
Do you all realize this thing is in its 18th year now?
How old are you?
18.
You are 18?
You were born in 1952?
That was when this thing went on. 1950.
I beg your pardon?
1950.
_ I don't want to break it to you, kid, but you're a lot older than you think you are.
_ If she was born in 1950, she'd have to be 19 at least.
How did we get into this?
In any case_
I think she's just turning 19, right?
Right.
Do you remember the first time you ever appeared on television?
Yeah, I couldn't remember anything.
And they had to make cue cards for me.
Of our own song.
You mean your own lyrics?
Uh-huh.
Have you ever forgotten the lyrics as you were?
Yeah.
I've forgotten the key we're playing in.
I've forgotten which, you know, I'm forgetful.
Now, you have done many different things.
You've traveled all over the world.
You've worked a lot of personal appearances.
You've done much television.
Have you ever MC'd a program?
No, I haven't.
Okay, here you go.
_ There's only one man in the studio who might be a little more nervous than you are
because he's traveled a long way to be here.
And he's a new man in the music world.
I'll steal all of your introductory material.
You know enough about him to do an introduction?
I met him earlier, and he's a very nice fellow.
You're on your own.
Don't get nervous.
Is this the way we do it?
This is the way you've bluffed your way through 18 years on TV, right? _ _

Oh, he gets out from the back now?
They unchain me.
You mean they used to keep you back there permanently?
With a big ball and chain.
You know, the one thing I like about you guys, let me lay this down here for a second.
You seem to have fun with what you do.
Do you ever get aggravated with one another?
Do you ever have any knockdown dragout fights?
Not knockdown dragout, but they sneak up from you behind.
Is part of the secret of being able to do what you do keeping in good humor?
Yeah.
You gotta be able to laugh.
Well, the whole thing is laughable, isn't it?
I've been laughing for years.
He scares me a little bit.
We laugh at him for years.
Sir?
I'm behind the back again, that's right.
Oh, no, he's just upstaging.
Tell me about this thing you did, gee, it must have been a month ago now, with Three Dog and Steppenwolf.
Where was it?
We played at the Forum to a capacity crowd, there were about 18,000 people in Los Angeles.
And we made a live album, which will be released on Dunhill pretty soon.
Then you have another album aside from that one, is it completed yet?
Not yet, almost though.
Will you bring it over to send somebody over with a hot copy when it happens or something?
You got it.
On his which?
On his motorcycle.
Are you a bike freak?

We have an Andy Williams show on November 15th.
He's on NBC.
I believe so.
