Oh, and they startled me.
My next guest is an excellent young singer and songwriter and he's just beginning to
make a name for himself.
And his first album, You Don't Mess Around With Jim, is already a bestseller.
That's why I'm holding it up.
And on September 26th, he'll be appearing with [E] Woody Allen at the [N] Mill Run Theater in
Chicago for our friends out in Chicago.
And will you welcome him, please?
Remarkable young talent, Jim Croce.
