Thank you. How's the sound balance out there? Is it too loud? No? How many say yes? Okay. More Ruth?

They want you, Ruth.

Lighten up.

Okay. What we'd like to do right now is another arranged piece. This is called-- Wanna do "Greggery Peccary"? We haven't gone over that for a while.
This is-- Wait a minute. This is called "The Adventures Of Greggery Peccary." Now we're gonna try a new version of "Greggery Peccary" tonight. We're gonna put some solos in between the movements of "Greggery Peccary." And what I would like to do is play one-- the first section, and then cut off and then go to the front row here and play all in sixteenth notes at the tempo that I start up. And then we'll develop from there.

And then on cue you get the second movement. And after the second movement, instead of going directly into the third, we'll do all the brass section, same thing: sixteenth notes very staccato.

At the end of the third movement, at the end of the third movement, we're gonna go to the back row winds and percussion, the same thing, sixteenth notes staccato. And then change over to "Brown Clouds." And we'll put "Brown Clouds" at the end of it. Okay? No, wait a minute.

We have to get this organized so that it doesn't sleaze off before your very ears. There's a-- There is an ulterior motive for making sure that it doesn't sleaze too much, because we're recording this show. And if it turns out good . . . That's right, you will all be immortalized.

All right.

Maybe in between these movements I'll tell you what the story of "Greggery Peccary" is. But we'll just start it off. You can just imagine what's going on.

Here we go.
