Intro to Something So Right (Live at The Red Room, Chicago, 9/7/2023)

So, about a year ago Howard sent me a song

And he said, you know, "I think this would be a great cover for you

I think you would kill this song"

And I hadn't heard it, it was, to me it was

It was a deep cut by Paul Simon, and

And you may be familiar with it, but I didn't know it

And it was right before I played Nashville Pride

And so I was, was kinda busy, and I was like, this song is so beautiful

I will definitely do it and I just never made the time

And I think if I can impart one thing with this set is

We don't know how much time we have

So, tell the people you love that you love them

Show them that you love them, like don't waste a minute 'cause

'Cause we just don't know what we get in life

(We love you Mike) thank, thank you, so, I

As part of my therapy, I had to sit down and learn this crazy song

It's a beautiful song and the lyrics are so vulnerable

And to me, I treasure it as sort of a lasting conversation

Because some of it sounds like things that Howard said to me

In the early part of our relationship, and some of it sounds like stuff that I said to Howard

So this is "Something So Right" by Paul Simon
