[G#]
Very, very happy and [F#] pleased to be here at the Dominique Blues Fest.
I've been walking around and it's kind of like a mini jazz [E] fest, a mini New Orleans jazz fest on the ocean.
So it's got that vibe to it.
It's really wonderful that you guys invited us.
And I'm of course always honored [G#] and privileged to be here with my good friends, the Holmes Brothers.

When I was just a little bitty pop singer starting out, they were my [E] heroes and my mentors.
And they [C] were very generous with me and taught me a lot of wonderful things about music and doing it with your whole heart and soul.
[F#] And I tried to learn my lesson well.
[B] [C] [D#] Every once in a while they knock me around and tell me I still have work to do, but that's [F#] okay.
[G]
But I have a new record out.
I guess, I don't know if anybody said that already, but it's [B] called Bring It On Home.
And it's a record of blues and R&B and soul [D#] covers.
And these gentlemen [F#] are playing [C] and singing on it as well.
Also, Mr.
Keith Cotton is playing and singing on this record.
[F#]
It was a real labor of love for us.
So
[Cm] those tunes [F#] are from it.
We hope you enjoy it.
Now we're going to do one that we did a while back. One, three.
