Now, these two guys on this end, I've been knowing since they were teenagers or less.
Luke was about 13, 12 when I met him, and this fellow right here, he belongs to the Bailey family, the famous Bailey family from Sand Rock, Alabama.
Well, you're famous in Sand Rock, and- (overlapping chattering) They're just wonderful folks, but they came to Foggy Hollow I guess the first time the family played, you guys were all still in middle school and high school.
So been knowing them a long, and they all still turned out pretty good.
Isn't that amazing, isn't that wonderful?
But I'm telling you you're in for a treat right here.
These guys are great musicians, great singers.

(audience cheers) I hope you're here when we finish, okay?
You ready?
Is that it?
- A little blues.
- A little blues, here we go.
(slow blues music) - Okay day.
(audience laughs) (audience applauds) (background noise drowns out speaker) This is one more, we like to play as many genre of music as we can possibly work in the program, actually.
And this next- - Genre.
- Yeah, genre is a good word, and it's, I got another good word, is plethora.
We would like to play for you tonight a plethora of genre, and the next song, the next genre is very popular in Cullman, Alabama.
If you're from Cullman, you're gonna enjoy this.
If you're from anywhere else, you'll just have to put up with it, but it goes like this.
- Three, four.

(band members singing) (audience applauds) (audience cheers) - Well, we're so honored that you folks came out to be with us tonight, and again, a great round of applause for the two bands before us, fantastic bluegrass, yes.
(audience applauds) So I tell you, as you can see, the moon is out.
It's a beautiful evening, you have no idea what you're in store for next.
You're gonna get to hear classical music played on the banjo.
(audience applauds) (audience cheers) - That's pretty- - Maybe one or two are ready.
No, seriously, Bobby has put together some music from the baroque era.
- [Audience Member] Yay, yes.
- And, and he has combined that with the breakdown sounds of bluegrass.
(audience cheers) And he cleverly entitles this piece, "Baroque Down."
(audience laughs) - [Audience Member] Bring it on.
- It's real important, this is real important, y'all.
If we're gonna do classical music on the banjo, then we gotta set the proper mood here in the space.
- Yes, and a wild applause is out of the question.
What we'd like for you to do is welcome Mr. Horton with what we call the classical clap.
- The classical.
- Now, if you're not familiar with the classical clap, Andy will do a quick demonstration, four fingers of one hand must lightly tap the palm of the other, head is to be slightly tilted with eyebrows slightly raised.
(audience laughs) And perhaps most importantly, a snooty attitude.
(audience laughs) Very good demonstration, Andy.
Now, it's important that we all briefly rehearse the classical clap, just to make sure we're all on the same page.
Everyone, the classical clap.
(audience claps) (audience laughs) Very classy.
(audience laughs) Ladies and gentlemen, to perform "Baroque Down," assisted by Mr. Andy Meginniss and myself on the more interesting portions of the piece, would you please welcome with the classical clap Mr. Robert J. Horton?
(audience applauds) (audience member cheers) - [Audience Member] Welcome, (indistinct).
(audience laughs) (quiet overlapping chattering) (slow banjo music) (lively banjo music) (audience laughs) (lively banjo music continues) (audience laughs) (lively banjo music continues) (audience laughs) (audience applauds) (lively banjo music continues) (audience laughs) (audience laughs) (audience applauds) (slow banjo music) (lively music) - Bobby.
(audience applauds) (audience cheers) (audience laughs) - Fantastic.
Y'all remember when the mayor of Birmingham had everybody convinced that in the year 2020, that the Olympics were gonna be held in Birmingham, Alabama, do y'all remember that?
- [Audience Member] Yeah.
(overlapping chattering) - Set up, and you remember how disappointed we were when it just didn't happen?
And we weren't just as near disappointed as the people up in Holly Pond because they were convinced when the Olympics came to Birmingham, the diving competition would be in the pond.
(audience laughs) They had a guy build a diving tower, but it wasn't a very good tower 'cause he wasn't a builder, he was a veterinarian.
(audience laughs) And he wasn't a very good veterinarian, either, but that part was okay because he was also a taxidermist, and (audience laughs) his slogan was, "You always get your dog back."
(audience laughs) (quiet overlapping chattering) But that wasn't why I brought it up.
(audience laughs) He's the same guy that got me interested in playing the harmonica, except he said, "It's not a harmonica, in the first place, and you don't play it."
He said, "It's a harp and you choke it."
And when he said "choke it," this is what he was talking about.
(slow harmonica music) (slow music) I told, I'm not playing a song, I'm just showing them how to choke.
(audience laughs) I said, "I love that so much, you gotta show me how to do it," and he said, "No, I don't, 'cause I can't."
He said, "If I take the harp out of my mouth to show you, it's over."
(audience laughs) And it took me a year to learn, one year to go.
(slow harmonica music) And when I learned to choke, I was so proud.
Everywhere I go, I'd choke.
(audience laughs) I found a place, I was sitting there and choke, and one day I was standing there choking, and this girl came over there and she said, "Show me how to do that," and all I knew how to do was stand there, just stand there like this.
But I got an idea and I told her, I said, "Listen, put your lips, put your lips over here on my lips, (audience laughs) and I'll show you what I'm doing to that harp over there."
(audience cheers) (audience applauds) Me and her was standing there playing "Rocky Top."
(audience laughs) And I had that harp in my pocket.
(audience laughs) Now, I can't play "Rocky Top" for you 'cause that's our song, but I would like to play that bluegrass tune called "The Orange Blossom Tune," y'all have hear that tune.
(audience cheers) (slow music) - I don't know.
(audience laughs) (slow music continues) - I don't know if this harp knows that song or not.
(audience laughs) (background noise drowns out speaker) (slow music continues) Let's see, this one's missing.
(slow music continues) You don't know it, wait a minute.
(background noise drowns out speaker) Y'all just talk among yourselves out there.
(slow music continues) (background noise drowns out speaker) Okay, all right.
(slow music continues) ♪ Well, here's a little song about three wet pigs ♪ ♪ Here's a little song about three wet pigs ♪ ♪ Two of them little, one of them big ♪ ♪ They danced all night at the pig town jig ♪ ♪ The two that were little were just half grown ♪ ♪ The one that was big was big as a barn ♪ ♪ Big as a barn, tall as a tree ♪ ♪ Take him on down to the factory ♪ ♪ Slice him into bacon, cut him into ham ♪ ♪ Chop him into hot dogs, squeeze him into Spam ♪ ♪ Throw his little eyes out in the rain ♪ ♪ Pickle his feet and scramble his brain ♪ ♪ Well, here's a little song about two wet pigs ♪ ♪ Leaning on the slop trough, smoking their cigs ♪ ♪ Hoping to God they never get big ♪ ♪ They danced all night at the pig town jig ♪ (audience applauds) (audience cheers) (slow harmonica music) (audience applauds) (audience cheers) - Okay.
- Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
- [Audience Members] Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
(quiet overlapping chattering) - Years ago, years ago we recorded a song from a guy named Steve Young who was coming up to Birmingham to the Lowenbrau Haus, where we would play a lot, and Steve would always sing this song and we liked it so much, we recorded it, and gosh, it was pretty good- (overlapping chattering) Yeah, we did a lot of things with it, and one night, I was at a place called, what was the name of that place?
- Doesn't matter.
- It doesn't matter where we were.
- It did then, but not now.
- Yeah, a guy came in and heard it, and he liked it and took it to his band and they recorded it, and they were the Eagles, and they made about $20 million off of this song, but they got it from guess who?
So anyway, we would like to give you our version.

I'm assuming that some of you do, and here's one from Venezuela, and that was not true, it's Ireland.
It's from Ireland and it goes, as they say, like this.
