It's a beautiful spring afternoon in April and we're here with Shine Down Productions
and Corn Flakes and some of his family.
Corn Flakes, who do you have here today with us?
Well, today we have here on my left, pulling snot out of the nose, we have Giovanni.
And he plays the drums, he plays the keyboards, and he also plays the tuba.
You don't play the tuba?
Not the tuba.
He don't play the tuba anymore, he plays the drums and the double keyboard.
Here we got Lily and she plays the ukulele and she's going to be playing a song today for us called Jamaica Farewell,
which Harry Belafonte is going to cry when he hears this version.
Okay, let's hear it.
