0:00.0 | I had a really nice gig last night in Torquie England, where I'm sitting right now. |
0:16.0 | After the gig, the promoter pulled me aside and he told me a really good story. I guess the cast of |
0:22.3 | Monty Python was once staying in a nearby hotel when they were filming the Holy Grail. And the |
0:28.5 | cast claimed that the owner of the hotel was a bit of a pain in the ass. He repeatedly criticized |
