:01:03
and that is that last night
I thanked my lucky stars...
:01:05
that I could be here at all
to sing for ya.
:01:08
I heard on the radio...
:01:10
- [Stops]
- This little boy... 9 years old.
:01:13
Sometimes a deejay'll play a tune...
:01:14
and ask everybody to phone in
and say how they like it.
:01:17
I was listenin', and this
little nine-year-old called in.
:01:22
The song had voices
in the background,
:01:25
like the way they use
backup voices these days,
:01:27
soundin' like little munchkins.
:01:29
He called up, the deejay said,
"How old are you, son?"
:01:32
The boy said, "I'm nine,
and I think it's gonna be a hit."
:01:35
The deejay said, "Why?" "Because
it had those chipmunks in it."
:01:38
And I thought that was so cute,
:01:41
because, well, I can sing
like a munchkin myself.
:01:44
I'm real fond
of The Wizard of Oz.
:01:46
Plus, I live out, you know,
just a ways off of Interstate 24...
:01:49
on the road to Chattanooga.
:01:51
So you can see why
I kinda related to that.
:01:54
I think me and the boys are gonna
strike up another tune for you now.
:01:57
Let's go, boys.
:01:59
[Resumes Intro]
:02:04
I think there's a storm...
:02:06
seems like it's a-brewin'.
:02:09
That's what my grandaddy used to say
before he lost his hearin'.
:02:14
- [Stops]
- Once he got deaf,
:02:16
he never talked much no more.
:02:19
'Cept sometimes he'd say "Oh, gosh"
or "Durn it" or "My word!"
:02:24
My granny'd go around clickin'
her teeth to the radio all day.
:02:28
Boy, was she a lot of fun,
and cooked my favorite, roast beef.
:02:31
She was a sweetheart.
:02:33
She raised chickens too.
She, um...
:02:36
Did you ever hear a chicken sound?
You know how chickens go?
:02:40
[Clucking]
:02:43
Here, chick, chick, chick.
Here, chick, chick, chick.
:02:46
Anyway, I guess we'd better strike
up this tune before it's too late.
:02:50
Okay, boys.
