"Y'know, every now and then. I think you might like to hear something from us. Nice and easy. But there's just one thing. You see, we never, ever do nothing. We always do it nice and rough. So we're going to take the beginning of this song. And do it easy. But then we're going to do the finish rough. Are you ready kids?"
"I can't hear you. Are you ready kids!?! "All right, guys, listen. This is a blues riff in 'B'. Watch me for the changes, and try and keep up.""
Musicians announce a performance plan to begin gently and end with a deliberately rough finish. The performers emphasize that they never do nothing and describe their approach as doing things 'nice and rough'. They will take the beginning of the song easy, then make the finish forceful. An emphatic call-and-response asks, "Are you ready kids?" twice and includes a prompt because the call was not heard clearly. A leader instructs the ensemble that the piece is a blues riff in B and directs members to watch for changes and try to keep up.
