Introductions - Live at The International Hotel, Las Vegas, NV - 8/26/69 Midnight Show

'Fore I do anything else I'd like to introduce the members of my band

Oh, Lord have mercy

Stands back there and laughs a lot too

Like you to say hello to Bobby Morris, ladies and gentlemen

Like you to say hello to the Bobby Morris Orchestra, ladies and gentlemen

Bobby Morris Woolly Boogers, I call 'em, man
Bunch of squirrels back there in that group
Funny if I just kept walking and..., right off the edge
Probably fall flat on my...
Excuse me

Well, you know, I ain't been on stage a long time, man
C-c-can I borrow, have you got any-anything?

A napkin or a kleenex, man, my nose running, my ears, eyes, everything
Kleenex? Napkin?
Tablecloth?

Oh, that's nice, thank you
What is that? What's that?
Thank you

What?
A record they just did very well for me recently, uh, ladies and gentlemen...
