We've talked just about everybody today except Don.
Don, you want to come over and say hello here to the folks?
And this is our steel guitar player and sings too, of course.
He'll have to be back, isn't he?
It certainly is, Don.
And he is, of course, ready right now to watch once again our good fellow over here, Stringbean.
String, come out here.
String, hey, hand me that album over there, Norma Jean.
Bring it over.
I want to show the folks a picture of his new album.
This is a dandy, too.
We'll get a close-up here.
It's got a picture of old String on it.
Looky there, by the way.
More of that rare old-time banjo picking and singing by Stringbean.

Now, don't ask me for any more about it.
