  12. Let’s Keep It Between Us
    Thank you. That was Clydie King. This is a new song I been trying to fix, finish up. It’s called Honey Baby Let’s Just Keep It Between Us. We can work it out everything just fine if we can just manage to keep it between us. I think this is the song that we played last night they they …, the critics, newspaper journalists said was Maggie’s Farm. But I mean to tell you it’s not Maggie’s Farm, it’s called Let’s Keep It Between Us. Yeah, I was walking by Roxy’s Heart Memorial Diner. You know where that is? And somebody was telling me about that.

  13. Mary From The Wild Moor (trad.)
    We’re gonna play a real old song here that I used to play before I wrote any songs. People always want to hear old songs, well this is real old. Anyway it’s like when …, there’s a musician friend of mine here tonight, David Grisman. I don’t know if you ever heard of him. Well he’s playing in town someplace else, you go see him if you get a chance to. He’s playing tomorrow night. We wanted him to play on this song but can’t seem to find him. Anybody know where he is? But it’ll be too late by that time. He can’t play on the next one. Anyway, this is called Mary From The Wild Moor.
