In which a.i. and I discuss the split between Monroe and Flatt and Scruggs and a.i. processes "Six White Horses"

By this point in the conversation, a.i. seems a little obsessive about "I'll Be All Smiles Tonight".  When we talk about "Six White Horses" a.i. seems to have that mixture of utter confusion and confident swagger.  The bot is wrong about almost everything, but it is convincing...
