68
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 5: liking anywhere else, and my main ambition in life is

69
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 5: to meet him.

70
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,280

77
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: time we try to try to get there, there's always

78
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: something in the way, you know, my my few times

79
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: down there, or I'll never forget it. I'll never forget it.

80
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: The the audiences were so beautiful to me, and the

81
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: and the and the and the and the country was

82
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: so beautiful. We did a lot of cities on the

83
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: on those tours, and I've always been trying to get

84
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: back and something always stops us.

85
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 3: Well, you'll have to just try harder. So I'll just

86
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: have to make do with your new album. Now, this

87
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: is an album of duets, and I think is that

88
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: all the people or most of them, have passed away.

89
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: Only you have the power to get people beyond right.

90
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: Well, that's the idea of the album. I call it

91
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: my dream Duets. This is a dream album for me.

92
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: Everybody was making dus albums and I thought, how am

93
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: I going to make my album different than anybody else's

94
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: duet album? And this is the idea that I came

95
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: up with. And I didn't think it could be done

96
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: because we were stuck dealing with old records of these

97
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: very famous and talented people. But because of music technology,

98
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: we were able to make this album and it was

99
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: an honor and a thrill for me to be able

100
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: to do this album.

101
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: And that's great as well. You don't have to put

102
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: up with any irritating habits of other people.

103
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: You know.

104
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: And they were always in good voice, they were always

105
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: at calm time.

106
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: Didn't steal all your coffee.

107
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: That's great, right, I didn't have to do any of that.

108
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: So who was the new singers? I know that you've
