[00:00.67]Good God Almighty. Like back in the old days.
[00:03.67]You know, years ago they had the A&R men to
[00:06.17]tell you what to play, how to play it and you know
[00:08.60]whether it's disco and rock but we just went in the
[00:11.72]studio and we did it. We had champagne in the studio,
[00:13.86]of course, you know, compliments of the company,
[00:18.24]and we just laid back and did it.
[00:19.73]
[00:21.23]So we hope you enjoy listening to this album
[00:23.35]half as much as we enjoyed playing it for you.
[00:26.35]Because we had a ball. Only real music is gonna last,
[00:30.47]
[00:31.21]all the other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow...."
