00:00I've been put on point. The lovely Miss Gilligan, she's zeroed in. There's a couple of
00:08high-profile fashion designers, and she said, put your guitar aside. You already know how to play it.
00:16I'm going to send you to the fashion girls and let you buy me some clothes.
00:20Oh, my God.
00:21But we're bringing some loud noise down your way. I'm excited about it.
00:26Well, yeah, we discovered, as most visitors come to find out, the major cities are scattered
00:36along the coastline. And being a fan of the surf, we were absolutely delighted. Now, granted,
00:47it takes a while to get from one town to the next, but it gave us plenty of time to
00:55see the waves. It's really cool. There was a momentary bit of curiosity, but Dusty,
01:05he laid the law down. And he said, listen, he said, I don't know what's up, he said,
01:11but if I'm late coming back to the next wave here, he said, give my guitar to Elwood.
01:18Elwood's been with us for, gosh, three decades, I want to say. In fact, he and Dusty were trading
01:28licks. Elwood started as a guitar player and was, he was learning bass licks and teaching
01:35Dusty bass licks. So between the two of those guys, they had it wired. And I guess the, well,
01:45I'll, I'll, I'll leave it at that. I'll Elwood will be coming along and I think you'll find
01:51the, he's keeping the bottom of the top.
