James McEachin; Clint Eastwood
Hey, hey, you're digging
the master jock for solid rock...
...Sweet Al Monte blasting, babies.
Being bold and pouring coal on KRML
in quaint little Carmel-by-the-Sea.
We're next door to magnificent Monterey,
home of the annual jazz festival.
Although it's four months away,
you got to get your tickets...
...because they're going fast
and it can't last.
The time is 9 pm
and there's a breeze of 52 degrees...
...around your loving hips,
and there's a taste of fog.
I say we got a bowl of soul,
and if you think your heart can take it...
...come fly higher with The Heavy!
Now we're gonna wrap it up
for the week, folks.
A brand-new release from the funk capital
of the world, Squeeze Me.
Here he comes, the big "D" himself,
Dave Garver.
And Dave is gonna bring you
five hours of mellow groove.
In the meantime,
this is Sweet Al Monte saying:
"Hang in there, babies, because everything
is going to be everything."
'Bye.
