0:21.2	Hello, Graham Russell. How are you doing today? I'm doing fantastic. Thank you. Good to see you again.
0:31.5	Yeah, it's been a while. We first met. Well, actually, we have a mutual friend, a Mike
0:36.4	Xerbie plays in your band and has on and off for many years. And I think the first time we met
