We might look like a washed up version of the Smothers Brothers.
I have to tell you something.
I want you to do me a favor.
One of my favorite albums that you ever recorded, and obviously one of theirs as well,
was the Stardust album.
And you did a song called Blue Skies that happens to be one of my favorite songs.
And you may or may not know this, but I played upright bass with a jazz group here in this town for 10 years.
I did not know that.
And I have not played since then, and I thought it might be fun to play along with you on this song here, on [Bm] Blue Skies.
Alright, let's do [Gb] this one especially for Irvin [Bm] Berlian, who's celebrating his 101st birthday.
This is his favorite song that he wrote.
Makes him two years older than both of us.
