Lets take a look at a cut. Tavis i was saying to gregory that it took me about two weeks to get to track five. It took me a couple weeks to get there because i could not get off of track number one. , and thisnds of mine doesnt happen all the time, they called me and messaged me and said there is a brother named Gregory Porter who you must have on your show. You have a bunch of fans that are friends of mine that you dont even know. You have got to get him. You have got to hear the song. In search of it and i am delighted to have you on the program. Tell me about this first track. It is powerful. For me, i am trying to put , and i am trying to grab pieces that are poetry to put in the song. It is like an old man on the house
