Yes, so we're going to-- thank you for reading it here.
Thank you both.
I'm going to put another battery in this,
but are you both willing to do a Q and A?
Yes.
OK, so you can come on up here.
I will come to you with a microphone
that has a fresh battery in it, if you just raise your hand.
The retrieving of the battery will give you a second
to think of the question.
There's a question here.
Oh, great.
We're kind of in business-- kind of, unless--
nope.
You can speak loudly.
[LAUGHTER]
Brian, where did you encounter a foot-washing Primitive Baptist?
I realize I might have set that up a little bit before
I read it.
I grew up Primitive Baptist.
My mother-- I grew up and down the central Piedmont
of North Carolina and Virginia.
And everybody on my mom's side was a preacher, or nearly.
And everybody.
My dad's side was like a highwayman.
Truck drivers.
And so there's virtue and vice like a lot of people
in that part of the world.
But until I was about 12, I went every Sunday
to High Hill Primitive Baptist church.
That's where I'm from also.
And we were also preachers.
And granddaddy was a Primitive Baptist preacher.
Really?
What town?
He was in Patrick County, Virginia.
So that's where my parents are both from.
from Patrick Springs and Stuart, Virginia.
Yeah.
We must talk.
[LAUGHTER]
Let's do.
Yeah.
You're probably related to each other.
We might be.
That was good enough for me.
[LAUGHTER]
Well-- ooh, that works too well, I think.
Thank you both very much.
We'll pull a couple of chairs up here.
Do you want to have more questions one-on-one style?
I'm sure Brian would be happy to sign, to answer questions,
to smile, to do whatever they do.
But thank you all for being here tonight,
and we'll see some of you, many of you, next week.
[APPLAUSE]
