And I'm his other twin brother.

We only can afford one shirt, so we swapped backstage.
I'd like to do one for you now by Billy Joe Shaver.
I love this one.
It has a really good message to it.

We are Cottonmouth Creek from, half of us from Birmingham, half of us from Tuscaloosa, but all of us all in to play music for you all tonight, so thank you for having us.
We're enjoying ourselves so far, and I hope you are, too.
I'd like to do one for you now that I wrote several years back, kinda trying to equate love and used cars.
It actually does fit.
At least, the lyrics do.

I'd like to do one for you now by a gentleman named Steve Spurgin.
He's about 80 years old, and still out there kicking, still out there picking, still writing songs.
He's one of my favorite writers for sure.

You know, the thing about doing Bob Dylan songs is, you know, certain people, when they do a song, you just ought not do it again.
Like Chris Stapleton, when he does a song, man, just leave that song alone, you know, 'cause he already owns it.
You know, you can't do it like that.
But Bob Dylan, on the other hand, everybody sings better than Bob Dylan does.
So you know, I mean, he writes great songs, but surely, you know, if you can sing anything, you can sing one better than old Bob.
So we're gonna make... We're gonna try to, anyway.
Now, I'll probably screw it up, so I'll sound a lot worse than Bob.
But this one is called- Right here on public television.
Sing it right there.
This one is called "Tales of Yankee Power," otherwise known as "Senor."

Thank you.
We got time for about two more tunes here.
We'd like to say how much we have enjoyed playing for y'all.
Y'all been a great audience, and isn't this a great night?
Man, I mean, what do we deserve for the 1st of June?
Man, this has been good.
It could've been so much worse.
Well, I believe, you know, that all songs were born to be bluegrass songs.
That's just how it is.
But some of them fell by the wayside.
They slipped off in the ditch, in the sin and iniquity of rock and roll and jazz and stuff like that.
So I feel that it is my mission to reach out and lift up these songs and bring them back onto the straight and righteous bluegrass path.
Can I get an amen?
-Amen!
-Amen.
All right.
Here's such a tune.
