Sweet Al Monte

 

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.
