_ It's good playing with Joe Crookston here.
I first met him about a year and a half ago.
_ It's _ _ _ _ _ always great to _ _ play with the younger songwriters that are coming up and they're working their stuff out.
It'll keep all this music going, you know. _
It's going to be _ hip-hop music _ 24 hours a day.
We have to keep this music alive.
_ Songwriting _ and writing about our times is real important.
Which they do in hip-hop too, but _ _ _ not enough. _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [N] _ They mostly write about their gold chains.
_ _ _ _ [E] _
_ I'm _ _ [N] going to do one more song and we're going to have a break.
And then Joe and I are going to be up here _ together doing a songwriting swap.
We'll do this song, I'll do this song, we'll go back for a few songs like that.
And we'll probably play a couple of them together too.
_ Which will be fun.

He's here _ _ _ tonight.
We drove all the way from Worcestown, New York and we're driving back after the show.
_ And Angela Stuyven, who's a health organizer.
All the people involved here.
_ _ _ Ann and Rhonda for playing the music on the radio around [E] here.
_ _ And all you folks.
