The Lemon Pipers - Green Tambourine / Rice Is Nice chords
Start Jamming...
I just want to say that I think that lady was incredible because I couldn't have done that.
Could you, Sebastian?
No, I mean, I had all of our hands
I remember just the fuddle.
It was one vast odor, you know.
I tell you, I'm ready to fly.
And you will when you hear what's going to happen right now.
My next guests work their way out of college playing music,
and right now they're doing so well that it looks like their educations will have to wait
until they make enough money to retire.
It's going that good for them.
Their current record, Green Tambourine, is fifth on the national charts.
And still climbing, and they are the Lemon Pipers.
Welcome them, please.
