0:02:11 > 0:02:13Thank you.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17APPLAUSE

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Thank you. Appreciate that.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25It's kind of nice for us to be back over here again.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Some of the people who normally would have come with us

0:02:28 > 0:02:33are sick in one way or another, but it's nice to be back over here.

0:02:33 > 0:02:39It's kind of fun to be travelling from one large city

0:02:39 > 0:02:42to another large city, all over the world.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Cities have things about them that,

0:02:45 > 0:02:49if you are from a very small place like I am,

0:02:49 > 0:02:52when you first come to a very large place,

0:02:52 > 0:02:56you feel that maybe you might be a little odd there.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59But when you get there, you find out that

0:02:59 > 0:03:03maybe if you lived in some place where they had maybe 800 people

0:03:03 > 0:03:07and you knew all 800 people, you were much better off

0:03:07 > 0:03:11than if you'd been in some place where

0:03:11 > 0:03:16there were 8 million people and you didn't really know anybody.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21SONG: "Lonely Town, Lonely Street"

0:03:44 > 0:03:50# You can live your life in a crowded city

0:03:57 > 0:04:02# You can walk along a crowded street

0:04:09 > 0:04:15# But the city really ain't no bigger

0:04:21 > 0:04:28# Than the friendly people friendly people that you meet

0:04:34 > 0:04:39# You might be a sweet, young sweet, young, pretty, pretty

0:04:46 > 0:04:53# And at the dances you can't keep your seat

0:04:58 > 0:05:06# But, if dances don't lead to romances, no, no, no

0:05:10 > 0:05:17# You might as well be born be born with two left feet

0:05:23 > 0:05:30# You might be a sweet-toned sure 'nuff high-class talker

0:05:35 > 0:05:42# You might be a stone stone expert at kissing

0:05:48 > 0:05:55# But it don't do too much good to be talkin'

0:06:00 > 0:06:07# Brother, when there ain't no ain't nobody listening

0:06:12 > 0:06:19# And if you are shy just not much of a talker

0:06:24 > 0:06:31# And you don't impress the people that you meet

0:06:37 > 0:06:42# You might as well be a lonely walker

0:06:49 > 0:06:56# In a lonely town on a lonely street

0:06:59 > 0:07:02# Hey, ha, ha

0:07:02 > 0:07:07# Hey, hey, ha, ha, na

0:07:07 > 0:07:11# Hey, ha, na

0:07:11 > 0:07:15# Hey, hey, ha, ha, na

0:07:15 > 0:07:21# Hey, hey, ha, ha, na. #

0:07:26 > 0:07:29APPLAUSE

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Thank you.

0:07:39 > 0:07:44Most of us, at some point in our...

0:07:44 > 0:07:46lives...

0:07:48 > 0:07:51..get our tongues tied up and can't say what we intended to,

0:07:51 > 0:07:53so I'll take another crack at it.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Mmm.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Most of us, at some point in our lives,

0:08:02 > 0:08:07have somebody that means more to us than anybody else

0:08:07 > 0:08:10has ever meant before or will ever mean again.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Sometimes it's a long-legged lady, if you're a man.

0:08:13 > 0:08:18Or some tall, very smooth man, if you're a woman.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23And in some odd cases they get kind of crossed-up,

0:08:23 > 0:08:25we won't talk about those.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30But in my case, I learned how to really love somebody

0:08:30 > 0:08:35from not a very pretty lady, not at that point in her life,

0:08:35 > 0:08:40not sexy at all, but just a nice old lady

0:08:40 > 0:08:45who used some very nice old, gnarled hands

0:08:45 > 0:08:49to make life kind of nice for me at that time,

0:08:49 > 0:08:52when I really needed somebody.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56And it wasn't after I got older and started to look around for things,

0:08:56 > 0:08:59it was before I even knew what I was looking for.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01And probably, since I consider myself

0:09:01 > 0:09:03somebody who writes, primarily,

0:09:03 > 0:09:07out of all the things that I might have written,

0:09:07 > 0:09:10my favourite thing that I've written

0:09:10 > 0:09:13has to be about this favourite old lady of mine.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16SONG: "Grandma's Hands"

0:09:16 > 0:09:19# Mmm, mmm

0:09:19 > 0:09:22# Mmm, mmm

0:09:22 > 0:09:24# Mmm, mmm

0:09:25 > 0:09:27# Mmm, mmm

0:09:27 > 0:09:30# Grandma's hands

0:09:30 > 0:09:34# Clapped in church on Sunday morning

0:09:34 > 0:09:36# Grandma's hands

0:09:36 > 0:09:40# Played a tambourine so well

0:09:40 > 0:09:43# Grandma's hands

0:09:43 > 0:09:46# Used to issue out a warning

0:09:46 > 0:09:48# She'd say

0:09:48 > 0:09:51# Billy, don't you run so fast

0:09:51 > 0:09:54# Might fall on a piece of glass

0:09:54 > 0:09:58# Might be snakes there in that grass

0:09:58 > 0:10:00# Grandma's hands

0:10:03 > 0:10:06# Then Grandma's hands

0:10:06 > 0:10:10# Soothed a local unwed mother

0:10:10 > 0:10:12# Grandma's hands

0:10:12 > 0:10:17# Used to ache sometimes and swell

0:10:17 > 0:10:19# Grandma's hands

0:10:19 > 0:10:23# Used to lift her face and tell her

0:10:23 > 0:10:24# She'd say

0:10:24 > 0:10:27# Baby, Grandma understands

0:10:27 > 0:10:31# That you really love that man

0:10:31 > 0:10:35# Put yourself in Jesus' hands

0:10:35 > 0:10:38# Grandma's hands

0:10:40 > 0:10:43# Then Grandma's hands

0:10:43 > 0:10:47# Used to hand me piece of candy

0:10:47 > 0:10:49# Grandma's hands

0:10:49 > 0:10:53# Picked me up each time I fell

0:10:53 > 0:10:56# Grandma's hands

0:10:56 > 0:10:58# Boy, they really came in handy

0:10:58 > 0:11:01# And then she'd say

0:11:01 > 0:11:04# Matty, don't you whip that boy

0:11:04 > 0:11:08# What you want to spank him for?

0:11:08 > 0:11:10# He didn't drop no apple core

0:11:10 > 0:11:14# But I don't have Grandma anymore

0:11:14 > 0:11:18# If I get to Heaven, I'll look for

0:11:18 > 0:11:21# Grandma's hands. #

0:11:28 > 0:11:32APPLAUSE

0:14:32 > 0:14:39# Like to get me among your high-class friends

0:14:39 > 0:14:43# And then you act real rude to me
