FRIENDS, ROAMIN' COUNTRYMEN, FANS, FAMILY AND DISTANT AND FUTURE RELATIONS...LEND
ME YOUR REARS
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5
AT THE FABULOUS
JAMMIN' JAVA IN VIENNA, VA--
JON CARROLL WILL BE PERFORMING ON A SPECIAL NIGHT
ALONG WITH...
FREEBO AND BRIAN JOSEPH
TOWARD THE END OF LAST SUMMER, WHEN FINISHING MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER'S TOUR WITH AN
ACOUSTIC SHOW AT THE PHILLY FOLK FESTIVAL, I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE WARM-TEA URN, AND
RECOGNIZED THE SATIN RESONANCE, THE BUOYANT STANCE AND GLOWING VISAGE OF NONEOTHER
THAN MY BLAST-FROM-THE-PAST, FELLOW CAROUSING COHORT, FREEBO. YOU MAY KNOW HIS WORK AS
A LONG-TIME MEMBER OF BONNIE RAITT'S BAND,
OR A ROCKIN' GREAT OUTFIT CALLED GUMBO, OR ANY NUMBER OF OTHER SUBSTANTIALLY NOTEABLE
ARTISTS SUCH AS MARIA MULDAUR, JOHN MAYALL & THE BLUESBUSTERS (CATFISH HODGE FANS WILL
KNOW), ROY BUCHANNAN, BUDDY GUY...YOU GET THE PICTURE.
WELL, WE GOT TO CHATTING ABOUT OUR MUSICAL WORLDS, EACH AND BOTH, AND HOW, OVER THE
YEARS, WE'VE BEEN BLESSED WITH OPPORTUNITIES THAT HAVE ALLOWED US TO PLAY WITH SO MANY
STYLISHLY DISPARATE AND WONDERFUL ARTISTS AND GROUPS, AND HOW, LUCKILY,THAT HASN'T CHANGED TO
THIS DAY. NEXT THING I KNEW, I WAS INVITED TO PLAY THIS DATE WITH HIM, AS WELL AS WITH A
BRILLIANT NEW SONGWRITER WITH WHOM HE'S RECENTLY WORKED, A FELLOW NAMED BRIAN JOSEPH.
HE'S GREAT, AND HIS DEBUT RECORD IS GETTING RAVES RIGHT NOW.
I'VE BEEN BUSY AT WORK ON MY OWN BOXED SET (KIDDING-- IT'LL BE A WIDE GAMUT-OF-A-THANG,
THOUGH, YOU BET) OF SONGS AND SELECTIONS, WHICH IS DUE TO BE HATCHED IN THE SPRING, TO
HOWL WITH THE NEWLY LIBERATED GUSTO OF A SOLAR-THAWED BEHEMOTH, AND I'LL WILL BE
FLINGING AROUND SOME NEW MATERIAL FROM THAT.
BUT...
...THE REALLY COOL THING WILL BE THAT WE'LL ALL, IN VARIOUS CONFIGURATIONS, BE THROWING
DOWN IN A COLLABORATIVE FASHION. YEP, WE'LL BE TUNIN' IN, SITTIN' IN, AND GETTIN' FUNKY, ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER, WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND THAT MAKES THE NIGHT A ONE-TIME-ONLY TYPE O'
THANG, WHICH IS ALWAYS WORTH CATCHING.
THANKS, Y'ALL,
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
