- Thank you, folks.
Thank you so much, what a thrill to be here
on this beautiful night.
Great to be with all my MBOTMA folks
here in Richmond, Minnesota, on this beautiful stage.
Probably the prettiest stage to bluegrass music.
It's the best one I've seen.
- So we wrote this one in honor of our friends
down in Chattanooga,
and we entitled it, very creatively, Chattanooga.

- Thank you.
The other cool thing about the sticker,
Cindy likes it when you travel the world
and get your picture taken,
and earlier this year our band was in South Korea,
and we were in the Royal Palace, in,
was that in Seoul?
That was in Seoul.
And David and I posed with this,
some of you might have seen that on Facebook.
We had a great time in South Korea.
They haven't heard a lot of bluegrass there.
One guy came up and said he'd never seen a banjo before.
But we had some really fun audiences in South Korea,
and ate a lot of kimchi, lot of kimchi.
- My favorite thing about South Korea was,
David became the k-pop banjo boy for the weekend.
We get done with the show and all the girls are there
surrounding him with their cameras
and trying to get their picture taken,
and doing, that thing,
whatever that is.
- Well we're currently in the studios.
Well you know, not at this moment.
But recently we've been in the studios working on
I think our 14th CD.
It's gonna be all covers of 1950s, '60s country classics.
Back when country music was still country music.
And one of the songs we're doing
is a song by the great Ray Price.
He has his first number one hit in 1956,
and after that he had nothing but number one hits.
And this is the first, Crazy Arms.
(audience cheers)

♪ Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
♪ While my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
♪ My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
♪ And that's why I'm lonely all the time
♪ So take these treasured dreams
♪ That I have for you and me
♪ And take all the love I thought was mine
♪ Someday my crazy arms may reach to hold somebody new
♪ But now I'm so lonely all the time
♪ Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new

(audience applauds)
- Well you know we learned a lot
from our friends in the south.
How to eat fried green tomatoes.
Had some of those this morning, that was awful fun.
And boiled peanuts.
I'm a fan.
I think I'm alone in the band with that.
- [Mark] You can't say 'em as boiled though.
- No that's true.
If you say bowled peanuts, that's how they talk down there.
Bowled peanuts.
- And that's because they're best
if you throw them down an alley.
- I like 'em.
And my friend Jimmy Guis said he's gonna make me some.
So they're all mine, I'm not gonna share. (laughs)
But that's not all that we learned
from our friends in the south.
They have a very specific way
on how they survive a winter storm.
And so that's what inspired this next tune.
Gotta make sure you have these two ingredients.
- [Mark] One, two, a one two three four.

- Well we're gonna do a song now
written by our good friend Bill Isles,
who I know is playing this festival with Kate.
They're just wonderful, I love them both.
And Bill wrote this tune in honor of his grandfather,
who during the Great Depression had the job
of fixing trains at night in the roundhouse.
And as Bill tells it,
the hobos would come by looking for a warm place to sleep,
and he would let them in,
despite the fact that if caught,
he might've lost his job.
Hobos in the Roundhouse.
("Hobos in the Roundhouse" by Monroe Crossing)
♪ From seven to seven, every night of the week
♪ Fixin' trains in the roundhouse, I work on my feet
♪ And I told my children, I hope the bedbugs don't bite
♪ 'Cause I've got hobos sleeping in the roundhouse tonight
♪ From Akron to Hinckley and Prairie de Chein
♪ They are soldier and lawyers
♪ And I believe what they're saying
♪ And I'll roust them at four and they'll head down the line
♪ The hobos are sleeping in the roundhouse tonight.
♪ Goodnight, my hobos, rest your vagabond heads
♪ On your old knapsack pillows in your gunnysack bed
♪ For a few stolen hours, you'll be alright
♪ My hobos sleeping in the roundhouse tonight.
♪ Well, they hired a new man to work as a guard
♪ Every morning at sunrise he checks out the yard,
♪ But for now, I won't trust him
♪ Though he seems pretty nice
♪ 'Cause I got hobos sleeping in the roundhouse tonight.
♪ Goodnight, my hobos, rest your vagabond heads
♪ On your old knapsack pillows in your gunnysack bed
♪ For a few stolen hours, you'll be alright
♪ My hobos sleeping in the roundhouse tonight
♪ Well, I asked my Savior
♪ What should I do
♪ If I'm caught helping hobos my job could be through
♪ But I heard the answer, so clear and so bright
♪ Are my hobos sleeping in your roundhouse tonight
♪ Goodnight, my hobos, rest your vagabond heads
♪ On your old knapsack pillows in your gunnysack bed
♪ For a few stolen hours, you'll be alright
♪ My hobos sleeping in the roundhouse tonight
♪ For a few stolen hours, you'll be alright
♪ My hobos sleeping in the roundhouse tonight
♪ Goodnight boys
(audience applauds)
- That's a great song.
The first time we heard Bill and Kate Isles sing that,
Lisa and I were offstage just bawling,
tears going down in streaks,
oh it's so beautiful.
- [Mark] Every time they hear us sing it, they cry too.
- They cry too when they hear us sing it.
Well I'm gonna do a duet
with my brother in bluegrass here, Derek.
And do a song written by the great songwriters
Boudleaux and Felice Bryant,
who wrote Rocky Top,
but they also wrote songs for the Everly Brothers,
like this one we're gonna do for you right now.
