Hi, John.
[Bb] Hey, will you do a song for us?

I'd like to hear you do one of your famous poems first.
You mean really?
Oh, it's a good one?
Yeah.
All by myself?
Yeah.
All right, I'll try my best.
Let's see.
Most of the poems I do are little country things.
I tell you, I could do a love poem for you. Okay.
Is that all right?
Okay.
I have a love poem.
You hold my hand?
