Charlie Skinner :
....Name That Tune.
Will McAvoy :
Play a little more —
Tom T. Hall :
"That's How I Got to Memphis."
Charlie Skinner :
You do play a little guitar on
The Side.
Will McAvoy :
I do a little news anchoring on
The Side.
Since when do you listen to Country?
Charlie Skinner :
My Grandson Bo, Katie's oldest,
has a garage band.
Ask me what instrument he plays.
Will McAvoy :
Guitar.
Charlie Skinner :
All of them.
Seriously, he's a savant.
You put an instrument in his hands, give him a day,
and he can play it.
So I was at their house last weekend,
and I wander out to the garage
and see Bo teaching
"That's How I Got to Memphis"
to his friends.
And I ask him,
"What's a kid from New Rochelle doing singing about Memphis?"
He said,
"Memphis is a stand-in for
wherever you are right now.”
That it really means,
“That's How I Got Here.”
