Nice work. Thank you.
It was very good out there.
You sounded like a whole bunch
of drunken Irishmen.
It's really great.
It's a good audience.
C 
We're going to have fun tonight.
Anyone here from Canada?
Thank God. We can play this song then.
It's not quite in French,
but I hope I pronounce everything correctly
anyway. This song is about a sailing ship
during the 19th century
that makes its normal trip
from Newfoundland down to New York,
and along the way
their young and brave captain gets sick,
and as they say, he ups and he dies.
It's a real up song,
but it's an interesting song
because it's written from the perspective
of the crew
and their feelings and emotions.
The song is called The
Banks of Newfoundland.
