The big story that goes behind this is that Joe B's going to tell you about how we ended up finding out the song of ours was making money before they even told [G] us that it had been recorded.
[Ab] We were in fact practicing late at [G] night in the garage with my [C] buddy's uncle, Larry.
Cousin or uncle?
[F] Larry's my brother.
[A] I always [Db] wondered.
And you weren't supposed to tell you those stories.
I'm sorry.
[N] You feel bad at Larry if you keep talking like that.
Anyhow, we were practicing and one night we got a call from a radio station in New York City.
There was some [Eb] DJ and he got hold of one of my buddy's tunes that we'd all recorded and sent it off.
We didn't [Bb] send it to him, we sent it to somebody else.
He'd been playing it for 48 [N] hours.
Can you imagine a radio station doing that today?
48 hours straight.
People was [G] calling in saying, I want to hear it again.
Who's that artist?
Who [Gb] is it?
So when the phone [C] rang, they were saying, you boys better get off to New York City.
[G] A place I've never even dreamed of going [Eb] to.
And this year it's a tune that kind of kicked it all off for us in a big way.
