That's a true story,
too. That's exactly the way it happened.
But if I ever run across that guitar again,
I'll recognize it, because I carved my
first girlfriend's initials all over it,
if I could only remember
what her name was.
Let's face it,
folks, it's been a while.
You're beautiful.
Thank you very much.
I've had a lot of great thrills in my professional life, and without a doubt,
at the top of the list would have to go back to 1976 when I was invited
on behalf of our government
and the Soviet government
to make a tour of
the Soviet Union.
And because of that trip,
I was invited to go back in 1988.
And on that occasion,
I was able to take my band with me
and show them off.
And we filmed a television special
that some of you may have
seen.
I'm very proud of that special
because, well thank you, thank
you very much.
It's not just a musical,
it shows you a side of the Soviet
citizens
that you don't get a chance to see.
And I think it just proves once again
that people are just people
all over the world.
Only governments are different.
And we learned a beautiful old
Russian folk song
while we were over there
we'd like to play for you this
evening
called Moscow Nights.
Now this melody
may sound familiar to some of
you
because back in the mid -60s
it was a hit record
for a Dixieland band.
But we learned it from the natives.
This is the way they play it
on this particular rendition.
