We probably need Wendy over here to sing if I'm gonna pick.
You want me to lay out seriously?
Yeah, I don't want you to play guitar.
I get to thinking guitar.
If you play and I can't play the banjo.
I've been fired by this man.
He fired me from working with him so I certainly can sit out one song.
Steve, why are we sitting like 47 feet away from you here?
I was wondering that myself.
I think Wendy's supposed to be here.
I'm gonna come over there.
Okay.
I'll just hold it.
Is that alright?
Tell you what happened.
