NOTE: This is spoken during the INTRO:
It isn’t necessary but I thought
I’d include it anyway.
“Look at all this space I got to dance.
Hi, y’all !
We’ll start with one of my favorite songs right now
by a fellow named Gregory Porter wrote this song
and he’s gonna be across the street or maybe he just
was across the street. Think I missed it. That’s a long
center.”
