This kid, he's this 15 year old kid and he's an amazing songwriter.
If he's an amazing songwriter and you're an amazing songwriter, then none of us have to write songs for a while.
Well we met this guy and he played in our band, the very beginning of our band back in the early part of 1966
and until the middle of the summer of that year.
And he's an amazing guy and I have to say, I've said it before, I know, about John.
There's so many incredible songwriters on the stage with us tonight.
This guy is one of my favorites and I think that he has a true gift, he's a true poet.
Please welcome Mr.
Jackson Harris.
I played in a band, I played washtub bass.
Now and then they would let me play in a band.
