BC: Thank you very much for coming. ... How is everyone? Good, how are you? I’m fine. So I’ll um...if you’re interested in any of the songs I’m playing tonight, I’ll –- I’ll post something somewhere, at least they say what songs [sic], who did what. It seemed laborious to introduce every song, so.... But this last song, um, I’d like to do, it’s a song by the Mamas & the Papas, which -– um, I love the Mamas & Papas, but trying to do all their vocal parts all at once.... I wouldn’t call it a challenge, insanity is probably.... So, we’re just waiting for Nick and then....
Guy in crowd: So is uh, that spray flavored or just plain?
BC: No, it’s cocaine. This is water and cocaine, it doesn’t really have much of a taste, slightly bitter. ...
Nick(?): Should be good.
BC: Alright. So this is a song by the Mamas & Papas, it is called Look Through My Window.
Look Through My Window
BC: So thank you for coming, ‘preciate the opportunity and uh, have a good night, god bless.
