got it's what we're doing and you know before i forget someone uh yesterday an article came out in billboard that rusty andrews rusty and teresa andrews own the monkey duck in houston the great legendary folk club and rusty posted an article from billboard yesterday on facebook about a lot of small venues closing and i reposted it and just wanted to say thank you to all of you who are helping us stay afloat and helping the small venues stay afloat with whatever ways they come up with to keep income coming in and uh i just wanted to just tell you all thank you so much for supporting hayes and me and for keeping us going it means the world to us um and someone commented that selfishly they did not want us to stop doing live streams because they had enjoyed them so much and you know said something about selfishly i don't want them to end it's not selfish at all to not want them to end and i don't want them to end either so i just want to say that i'm not going to stop doing live streams no matter what happens if things go back to um i mean i does anybody remember normal i don't but i mean i do but it's getting farther away i just want to say that i'm going to keep

moody time of year my favorite time [Music] hope everybody's doing good thanks for joining me in the library i was uh for a minute maybe going to be in the studio uh which is a little room we have out back and he's carl got some new equipment and i thought well maybe i'll try to use that but i don't have a piano out there so i can't roll my piano out there and i don't want to not use my piano so i'm still here and he has the fancy camera and uh that's okay we'll get it together uh if anybody has any leads on any i don't know whirling i'm looking for one so let me know send me messages um one of the great things about um doing these shows is i can play as long as i want to so that's one thing that's good um i'm a perpetual opening act so i usually have sets that are limited to 30 or 45 minutes and y'all i've made 10 records so you know it doesn't leave me time to get to anything and one of the my favorite things about doing these shows is i've rediscovered some of some old songs and this is one of them that i've rediscovered that i really love singing i used to not love to sing it i know maybe i don't know what's changed but i i've gotten reacquainted with this one so let's send this out uh to y'all for showing up for me tonight and uh sending you my love this is still the sun [Music] if the moon could conceal how it feels when it shines and the stars could disguise the beauty the skies reveal [Music] then the fire i try [Music] here with you in the dark let's steal the song before tomorrow [Music] this always [Music] [Music] let's before it steals tonight [Music] tenderly lips so soft and sweet touching my cheeks what else can i do [Music] to choose to giving the only way [Music] let's steal the song [Music] my take [Music] life [Music] let's steal the sun before it steals tonight let's hear the sound [Music] before it's deals tonight [Music] so once again loved alvin every time i hear about a hurricane i remember hurricane fred [Music] [Applause] [Music] we lived in a house with a tin room [Music] and when hurricane frederick came and rolled our roof up into little balls [Music] i can smell it right now i'm sending love to my whole place are you going to alabama where the trees grow [Music] i'd like to see the gulf of mexico [Music] if you go and won't you take [Music] me [Music] [Music] i like to see [Music] [Music] say how [Music]

i steal the piano um i have to make a few adjustments and you know what i'm going to go ahead and stop instagram and restart it because i don't want to have to do it in the middle of my piano stuff so do that okay there we go this microphone let's see if i don't knock everything else down well i'm trying to do it okay now i pulled out a couple of uh kind of old new songs um songs that have been hanging around a while but that i haven't really gotten a chance to do much with um and ah she held them i want this mic to go falling down on me um one this first one i'm gonna do i wrote with tracy berg several years ago and uh we had a lot of fun together writing it um i might have done this live a couple of times but if i have it's been a really long time ago so let me know i'm gonna get the shoes off so get to my pedals y'all just know i'm barefooted over here um i like that better when playing piano you know what's crazy is trying to play piano and high heels which i do but it's a whole lot more fun if you barefooted it just makes it feel somehow more authentic so anyway this is called dare the devil everything sounding okay y'all tell me let me know if we need to adjust anything or anything so [Music] walking high [Music] is but i shake up my feet [Music] [Music] every time you come so i'll stay out [Music] and i'm beautiful [Music] [Music] i'm [Music] up a day [Applause] to

any for holiday christmas gifts whatever they'll be up there for you i'm just going to do a limited edition um but you'll be able to order some so i i'm working with the chorus to heal um but if
