- Scott H. Biram: We'll get to that one in a minute.
["Still Around" by Scott H. Biram]
[bluesy guitar music]
? Go ahead and throw me down ?
? I might be broke, I'm still around ?
? Break me down and grind me round ?
? I'll be here if I'm being found ?
? I am the weapon in your hand ?
? I'm the stone that drags you down ?
? The rock on which you stand ?
? I'm the one who hangs around ?
? Push me in the current, I'll just soak a while ?
? You'll find me down the riverbed ?
? Down 'bout half a mile ?
? I'll find a way to get you back ?
? Break the glass in your one-horse shack ?
? Might throw a train right off the track ?
? But I'll be damned if I'll get cracked ?
? Uh ?
[bluesy guitar music]
? Heaven knows, I'm sinking down ?
? Tired of things that won't be found ?
? Buried deep within the ground ?
? I was here before this godforsaken town ?
? I am the weapon in your hand ?
? I am the stone that drags you down ?
? I'm the rock on which you stand ?
? I am the one who hangs around ?
? Left here by the maker, I've never sinned ?
? And throughout all the ages, I've always been ?
? Broken down and stoic to the bitter end ?
? I'm not trying to pretend ?
? I'm not ever giving in ?
? I've never been your friend ?
? I'm just worn down by the wind ?
[wind whistling sounds]
Yeah!
[bluesy guitar music]
? I'm the weapon in your hand ?
? I'm the stone that drags you down ?
? I'm the rock on which you stand ?
? I am the one who hangs around ?
? I am the weapon in your hand ?
? I am the stone that drags you down ?
? The rock on which you stand ?
? I am the one who hangs around ?
[audience applauding and cheering]
? I'm the one who drinks a beer ?
I'm gonna do it!
["Write Me a Few Lines" by Mississippi Fred McDowell]
[bluesy guitar music]
? Baby when you get home ?
? Uh ?
? Hey won't you sit down and write me a few of your lines ?
? Baby when you get home ?
? Mmm hmm hmm hmm, whoo hoo ?
? Won't you sit down and write me a few of your lines ?
? That'll be a consolation ?
? Yeah ?
? Mama for my worried mind ?
? Whoa, baby ?
? Uh ?
[bluesy guitar music]
? Yeah, I left my baby ?
? Yeah, standin' Lord, in her back door cryin' ?
? Oh I left my baby, woo hoo ?
? Standin' Lord, in her back door cryin' ?
? Yeah Mama ?
? I never felt so sorry ?
? Mama, 'til she said goodbye ?
? Whoa, baby ?
? Uh ?
[bluesy guitar music]
[laughs]
? I'm goin' down to the river ?
? Mama, and I'm gonna sit down on the ground ?
? I'm goin' down to the river, whoo hoo ?
? I'm gonna sit down on the ground ?
? I'm gonna let the waves of the water ?
? Mama wash my trouble down ?
? Whoa ?
? Hey, man ?
? Uh ?
? Hey ?
Take me back to the porch now.

[audience applauding and cheering]

Thank you.
