King of You (solo acoustic)

+ Chit-Chat Check-In #79: The Good Sense of Nonsense

Audio transcript

Hello, this is your Captain speaking. It’s Super Bowl Sunday, that’s what I’m told. I have tallied the results of all your requests, and opted to do an acoustic version of “King of You” from the album Star Wars. Which was an unlikely favorite. Or at least it got two votes. It’s from an album that’s meant to be full of nonsense, because I think nonsense is good for us.

I’m recovering from my hip surgery. Which has been slow, hopeful, and sometimes painful. But it’s going to be great.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this weird little version of a weird little song. And go team, whichever team it is that you care about. Maybe you’re there for the commercials, I don’t know. I’m going to refrain from commenting on anything controversial. I learned my lesson with the Dolly debacle. 

Carry on. OxO—Jeffy

Looking forward to getting to know some TSA agents on a whole new level.
