So I thought what maybe we would do while we wait to get our salads and such is maybe, Corey, would it be okay if you played a song? and and then and then once we finish with cory's song i'll pull some um questions from the audience and we'll start doing that interactive kind of thing okay so cory what is the name of this song that you would like to share first

all right i'd like to start off with one called riding next to me and this is about my granddad who uh We shared a love of country music and western swing music and of traveling.

He was one of the most fun people I ever knew.

I wrote this song about him and his work life.

He was a contractor.

He worked a lot out in Louisiana near Baton Rouge.

And the family there lived in McDonough, Georgia, south of Atlanta.

Let's do it.
