[Music] metalic freom that never loses its L for this project show me the way to be funded by the Ruth Bader Ginsburg fund is really the highest honor and I have a story to tell about this John and I were performing at the Supreme Court I didn't get a chance to actually talk with Ruth Bader Ginsburg but she came um and sat and listened for a second to our rehearsal but John 's back was actually he couldn't where he was sitting he couldn't see her but I could cuz I remember very specifically ther

s like nervous that we were like in the wrong spot or something but then as they it was sort of like a big unveiling of uh of Ruth pader Ginsburg as she came out and I like kind of got really nervous you know cuz she just had this presence and energy but it was just funny because John couldn't see her so I kept trying to whisper to John that she was sitting behind and I just assumed it was musically related or he couldn't hear the piano and I'm trying to like you know I see him like playing it y
ou know what do you want me to do I don't know so we get done and he tells me RBG was right behind you and I turn around and there's just no one and so it was just really sort of mysterious story and I love to tell it but it's kind of Wills to tell because he got to see the whole thing happen
