Hey there, I'm David Greer.
I'm here wonderful Seattle, Washington
There's an R there.
It's silent most of the time, but it's pronounced Washington.
That's how they say it
They prefer you put that R in there.
They love it
Seattle, Washington here at uh
Fred Borg Journal, that's where I'm at.
I'm right here right now
So I got a new joke for you.

Where do we go from here?
Reckon I'm gonna do a tune that has a whole lot of cross picking on the B part and it's called the Beaumont rag
It's a fiddle tune.
I reckon it comes from Beaumont, Texas or somebody at least must have liked Beaumont, Texas
I don't know.
