Thank you.
I thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen.
Tonight is really, really an honor for me.
They thought they would save the oldest for last.
When I hear the word blues, and I've been trying to do this since 1949, I recorded my first record.
And to think of what's going on tonight makes chills run over me.
Lucille even screams a little.
