Start Jamming...
Ah, got him.
Thank you very much.
Appreciate that, it's very good to be here.
I bet Dennis has done all my shtick, so I'll write that for him.
This is a couple of songs that happen every decade for me.
1967, I think, I first heard this one.
And I thought it really find Excuse me.
Really find rock for me.
I've been doing it for 30 years, so I might as well do it again tonight.
This is a song by Lil Reed.
It's called Waiting.

a song?
Paglio.
Paglio revived the song.
Also, this one bit I also used to do.
See, I feel more like Dennis now.
It's an old Burr Live song.
This old, this old Ja Brows song.
That I used to do also, in the 60s.
It's a bit of an R.E..M. thing, because we can't remember the lyrics, we've only done it two or three times. So we'll do it for you tonight. It's called My Day.
