ep02 Surprise Birthday Party For Ben

There's music in me, and if the morning's night, and fingers blushing sea, on the bright and laughing skies. Down our way, for old-fashioned singing and homie gatherings make livin' mighty pleasant. The town may be kinda small, but these folks have big smiles and big hearts, and they know what it is to have simple fun.

They meet every week at the home of Eli and Jenny Jenkins where they practice the singing they'll do with church socials and all the friend-togethers and down our way. Man sakes, that always happens when I got biscuit dough all over my hands.

Oh right, alright I'm coming as soon as I can. Hello. Oh it's you patients. Yes, yes I did everything just as you told me. Uh huh. Oh it would be grand. Oh hello Jane. Oh, excuse me. I didn't notice she was talking on the phone.

Oh, hello Eli. What's that? Oh, what's that, patience? Well, of course I won't tell him. This is too important to have any snip-ups. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I should have said you was listening on the phone.

Nobody but patience can keep up such a jamboree as that. Yes, you can trust me. This is too important to let anything happen. The decision is made, isn't it? All right. Goodbye, patients. Goodbye, Mrs. Baxter.

Goodbye, Mrs. Holcomb. I thought you was talking to patients. I was. Well, then what were you doing saying goodbye to their mother too? Well, they are on the party line, so as I always show them the courtesy of saying goodbye.

But, Jenny, do you like them listening in on your conversation? Of course not, but by being polite to them. I at least keep them happy, so as they don't repeat the worst of what they hear.
