38
00:01:54,164 --> 00:01:58,044

39
00:01:58,404 --> 00:02:00,364

40
00:02:00,444 --> 00:02:03,164
Speaker 3: number one, but body Swearth. I just banged it down

41
00:02:03,164 --> 00:02:05,044
Speaker 3: and it was a real raw rock and roll record,

42
00:02:05,044 --> 00:02:07,284

Speaker 3: Or just or can just fade off it oblivion, and

49
00:02:22,284 --> 00:02:23,604
Speaker 3: then it was just you know, I have to put

50
00:02:23,644 --> 00:02:25,644
