The original of this talk is unknown. This copy was made by Hugh Taylor of Sacramento from an old wire recording. The principal speaker is Father Double Shot George from Richmond, California. This was held in the old meeting house of 20th and L in Sacramento. The playing time is approximately 54 minutes. Without further ado, I want to introduce to you a man who I have learned to love and love deeply. And I'm going to introduce him as my good old pal, Father Double Shot George of Richmond. Let's give him a round of applause. Thank you, pal. That was a very splendid introduction and I'll get back at you later if I don't forget.

And I could tell by the people walking in I was in the right place. You can always tell an alky whether he's walking sideways, backwards or staggering. Even when he's sober. I can tell you that for sure. But I'm very happy I made it and I'm very pleased indeed to be with my good friend Eleanor again. She is a good alky and particularly good because she's something like liquor and charred keg. I've heard her three times now and done three pitches with her. And she's just like good brandy, she improves with age. It's great stuff now. Keep it up, gal, and you'll be really tops. Double A, double shot and everything else. That's fine in sobriety. While I'm here, I do want to come back at our friend here. You know, I had a dream…
