BEASTARS MINI-STORY #4: “A Different kind of Charity pt. 1” by JCL

We are in the lobby of Hotel D'Arc (which is very similar in appearence to the real-life Plaza Hotel in New York). We see a large door with a fence around it and a big sign above, showcasing that this is the entrance to the UniFeed Charity (a parody of Unicef). On the left side of the door we see a pompous-looking Great Horned Owl in a suit sitting behind a doorman's desk. HORNED OWL: "Names?" We see that he's adressing Louis, who is dressed in a black tuxedo over a red shirt and black tie. Next to him is Juno, who is wearing her white dress from ‘Alea Iacta Est’. She is holding his arm with a happy expression, while Louis looks a bit uncomfortable.

LOUIS: "Louis, heir to the Horns Conglomerate." JUNO: "And Juno, a friend." The owl begins to flip through a book that is behind the desk, containing the guest-list for the charity. He soon locates their names and makes a little mark next to them with a pen. HORNED OWL: "M-hm... Yes, there you are. You may go right in." He gets up and lets them through the fence. HORNED OWL: "Have a pleasant evening." Juno smiles and nods at the owl. JUNO: "Thank you." The owl betrays no emotion as he lets them through and closes behind them. As enter the big room where the charity is held, Juno turns to Louis. JUNO: "Is it just me, or was it impossible to get a read on that guy?" Louis looks at her hand on his arm. LOUIS: "What are you doing?" Juno notices what he's looking at and gives him a coy expression. JUNO: "Holding your arm. What else?" Louis sighs. LOUIS: "You're here as my platonic friend. Don't you think it's a little... Touchy-feely?" Juno rolls her eyes. JUNO: "Canines are touchy-feely. We express our affection, platonic or otherwise, through physical contact." She then lets go of his arm and puts her own behind her back. She goes ahead with an unmoved expression. JUNO: "But if it bothers you, I'll try and restrain myself." Behind her, Louis looks a little self-conscious. LOUIS: (The issue is that it doesn't bother me) They go further into the large room. As they do, Juno looks increasingly WOW-ed by the grand surroundings. JUNO: "Look at all this...! I never thought I'd set my foot in this kind of place! *Gasp!*" She bolts forward in excitement as she notices a large indoor fountain with two minimalistic plesiosaurus-statues in the center, embracing one another. It has built in light-projections that gives the illusion of the water changing colors. JUNO: "What a beautiful fountain!" She then notices a stage in the corner where a whole orchestral band is positioned, playing ‘Double Violin Concerto in D minor’ by Bach with jazzinstruments. She bolts over there as well. JUNO: "A whole orchestral band! It's like in an old Hollywood-movie!" DOG WAITER: "Hors d’oervre, madame?" Juno looks to her side, and sees that an Irish wolfhound waiter is holding out a plate to her, offering an assortment of hors d’oervre, including vegetarian nori, crostinis and mini-quiches. Juno's eyes glimmer as she takes a closer look at all the delicious-looking little mini-meals in front of her. JUNO: "It all looks so delicious!" Louis keeps a look on Juno as she moves through the room, enthusiastically observing and trying everything. He looks quite happy over the fact that she is having a good time already. LOUIS: (The seventeen in her is showing) It is then that Louis hears a familiar voice. SEYMOUR: "Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes." He turns around to see SEYMOUR (Martina Franca Donkey, male, 19 years old, dark blue suit), TOM (Eurasian Elk, male, 18 years old, grey suit) and GEORGETTE (Indian Peafowl, female, 19 years old, purple dress). LOUIS: "Oh, you guys. We meet again." TOM: "So we do, back together again, ready to give something back to society!" As he talks, a textbox appears beneath Tom. TEXTBOX: Tom, Heir to HOOFEA; the multinational ready-to-assemble furniture company. SEYMOUR: "Well, society has been pretty lucrative to us, so why not?" A textbox appears beneath Seymour. TEXTBOX: Seymour, Heir to Jack's Craft Motors. GEORGETTE: "I am just here because I have to be. Personally I can think of a dozen things I'd rather be doing on a saturday night." Finally, a textbox appears beneath Georgette. She takes a sip from her champagne glass as she gives Seymour an indifferent look. TEXTBOX: Georgette, Rightsholder to the award-winning Edelweiss-books. TOM: "Still as sharp as ever G." She turns to Tom. GEORGETTE: "And your misplaced familiarity grosses me out as usual, Tom." Taking another sip from her glass, she then turns back to Seymour. GEORGETTE: "Your mere existence grosses me out Seymour." Seymour and Tom take Georgette's rudeness in stride, like they're used to it. The peafowl turns to Louis. Her cold expression softens slightly. GEORGETTE: "You I find tolerable Louis." Louis does not appear to be especially touched by this. LOUIS: "..." SEYMOUR: "Come on G, admit that you kind of look forward to seeing us each year." She turns to face Seymour and Tom again. GEORGETTE: "Only to confirm that I am aging like wine, while the rest of you dullards aging like fruit." As the three continously bicker, Louis begins to internally muse about them with his inner thoughts. LOUIS: (Every time I've come here, as far back as I can remember, I always run into these three. Like me they are inheritors to large fortunes; receivers of old money readied to should their families responsibilites. Other than that, we have little in common. As far as I know, they haven't lived a harsch day in their entire lives) He thinks back to his childhood in the breedinghouse; the young him sitting in cell together with other animals ready for slaughter. LOUIS: (Not like me anyway) GEORGETTE: "Is it true though, Louis?" Louis is brought out of his inner thoughts. He sees that Georgette is staring at his leg. GEORGETTE: "Did you really lose your leg in a brawl with a bear?" Louis gives off a humorless little smile. LOUIS: (The word travels fast in these circles) "That is quite untrue." He gives the leg of his pants a little pull and showcases his prosthetic leg. LOUIS: "I actually fed it to a wolf." The three stare at Louis in shock and awe. Suddenly, Seymour and Tom begin to laugh. Georgette on the other hand maintains a disturbed look. TOM: "That is some dark humor, right there!" Louis drops the leg of his pants, smiling to himself. LOUIS: (Of course they would think I'm kidding) Then, Tom turns to Georgette. TOM: "Anyway, you here alone G? No date to accompany you?" She snorts at this. GEORGETTE: "I wish. My mother set me up with this annoying ass." Seymour grins at this. SEYMOUR: "Anybody I know?" Georgette rolls her eyes at him. GEORGETTE: "Not a literal ass you... ASS. He's a peacock, happens to be the son of one of my dad's friends, and rich to boot, so of course my mother is trying to play matchmaker. He went to get me something to drink. Personally I hope he falls head down into a punchbowl and drowns." SEYMOUR: "But you already have something to drink." GEORGETTE: "For the next 10 seconds, yes. But then what?" She takes another sip from her glass. GEORGETTE: "What about you? What poor members of the opposite sex did you bribe to come with you?" SEYMOUR: "No bribe neccesary. Got myself a Miss Universe-winner all on account of my charms." He points at a female horse in a blue dress standing near the fountain, who is talking to a gathering of ladies. SEYMOUR: "Likes to play the piano, wants to feed the hungry and has a body with more curves than a racetrack." He then turns to Tom. SEYMOUR: "What about you big guy?" Tom scratches behind his head and gives off a big grin. TOM: "Oh it's just me and Arla again this year." Seymour's face twists into a grimace. SEYMOUR: "Still together with that bossy cow? Man, you really are henpecked aren't you?" Tom laughs at this. TOM: "Sure am!" GEORGETTE: "A repeat. How very committed of you." Seymour then turns to Louis. SEYMOUR: "And you Louis? Are you here with your fiance or what?" LOUIS: "She had to prioritize her studies. I took a friend with me instead." TOM: "Anybody we know?" JUNO: "Louis-senpai!" Juno suddenly bolts up to Louis with a look of excitement. She is holding a little autograph book in her hand. JUNO: "You know that tv cook who always curses at everybody? I met him and he even gave me his autograph! He's a lot nicer in person than on tv." Seymour, Tom and Georgette stares at Juno with surprised looks. Louis turns to Juno. LOUIS: "That is great... Though try and contain the fangirl in you a bit. There is going to be quite a few celebrities here tonight, and they may not want to be bothered." Juno proceeds to put the book into her purse. She then notices the stare of trio next to them. Louis turns around and proceeds to introduce her. LOUIS: "This is my friend, Juno. We used to be in the drama club together back at Cherryton. Juno, this is-" He is interrupted by Georgette, who walks up to Juno and introduces herself, fixing the female wolf with an intense look. GEORGETTE: "Georgette, of the esteemed Qvist-family." Juno blinks and looks caught off guard. JUNO: "Really?" (What is up with that look?) Her expression quickly turns into a civil one though. JUNO: "And what do you do?" GEORGETTE: "I don't have to do anything. I am the great-grandaughter of Ellen Qvist, writer of Edelweiss-novels. My family holds the rights to her books." Juno looks like she has no idea what the Edelweiss-novels are. JUNO: "Uh... Okay." GEORGETTE: "So what does your family do?" JUNO: "... Nothing fancy like that." Georgette takes another sip from her glass. GEORGETTE: "Hm... I figured." This subtle insult does not go above Juno's head, who has to bite down in order to not bare her fangs. Louis has a look of dislike behind her. LOUIS: (I knew these were the kind of things Juno might come across) "Look, G-" Though before Louis can say something, Juno gets there first, with a look of recognition. JUNO: "Oh wait, I think I remember now. The Edelweiss-novels by Ellen Qvist..." However, her look quickly transitions into one of mock-pity. JUNO: "It wouldn't happen to be those boring books that the teachers make everyone read in third grade? I had totally blocked them out." A anime-shockwave of Juno's blunt honesty passes through Louis, Tom and Seymour. Juno crosses her arms, a terrifying shadow growing in her face, all the while maintaining her pitied expression, as she stares down Georgette. JUNO: "I guess that means you can live off the success of your great-grandma's efforts, without ever having to do anything? That must be so mind-numbingly boring... So boring in fact, that if I were you, the only way I'd get to have some fun is to insult the people around me and invent things to complain about." Another shockwave is generated, this time with ligthning striking down in the ground between the two, with an imaginary, apocalyptic wasteland appearing in the background. This fades into the room they're currently, making it clear that it was an exaggerated illustration of the intimidation-factor. Georgette looks unmoved on her face, though on closer inspection, we see that her hand holding the glass is trembling. She suddenly looks past Juno. GEORGETTE: "There comes my idiot-date. I have to go." She walks around Juno and past Louis. Though before she passes, she puts her hand on his shoulder, leans in and whispers into his ear. Juno doesn't seem to like this, and Lois looks shocked by whatever she is telling him. LOUIS: "What? No, that's not-" Georgette walks off. Approaching her though is the same waiter that offered a plate for Juno earlier, this time offering Georgette a plate. DOG WAITER: "Hors d’oervre, mad-?" Georgette intentionally knocks the plate out of the shocked waiter's hand in passive-aggressive fury, and then keeps walking. GEORGETTE: "Clumsy mutt, pick up your mess." The waiter begins to pick up the food on the plate with a bewildered expression. Juno looks at this with clear dislike. Then, Tom walks over to Juno with an amazed expression. TOM: "Nobody has ever said that to her before! You're really cool! I am Tom by the way." He extends his hand, and Juno is about to shake it. Just then, Seymour barges in and grabs her hand. He bows like southern gentleman and gives a flirtatious look. SEYMOUR: "Enchante, mademoiselle. The name is Seymour, my compliments to your stunning ensemble." Juno looks a little flattered by this, though she carefully pulls her hand back. JUNO: "Oh! Thank you very much." TOM: "The drama club huh? Does that mean you're an actress?" JUNO: "Well, when the occasion calls for it. I dance too." SEYMOUR: "Well, you're already a vision, I bet on stage you must be quite a phenomenon!" JUNO: "Oh, well... I wouldn't know about that..!" As the two talk to Juno, other males seem to join them with keen interest. Louis stares at the scene with an icy stare. LOUIS: "..." TEXTBOX: Juno appears to make a good first impression, but why the long face Louis? TO BE CONTINUED...

Vijf Milanese nachtversjes

De koelkast tinkelt, bromt en gromt als een nieuw jazzinstrument. Ik zit alleen in de zaal van de nacht en luister naar mijn eigen kind of blue. * De blikken klokken van de San Gottardo zwijgen in de nacht, om de slapenden te sparen en de slapelozen te laten wachten op de dag. * In het gele licht van de lamp, onder het onverschillig zoemen van de koelkast ligt een boek op tafel dat ‘Rumoer’ heet en dat zijn eigen herz en lumen kent. * Aan de overkant ziet iemand mijn licht door de luiken en denkt aan wie daar achter zit. De nacht spint een draad om het naar de overkant te dragen. * De bakker opent de ramen in het donker en het draaien van het deeg vermengt zich met meelbestoven stemmen, ver voor de dageraad gaat geuren. *

„Organ meets Bigband“ das LaJJazzO M-V LandesJugendJazzOrchester Mecklenburg-Vorpommern https://www.facebook.com/events/846845685410695/Am 01.08.2015 ist das Landesjugendjazzorchester Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (LaJazzO MV) mit seinem diesjährigen Solisten Jon Hammond wieder im Klostergarten Rostock zu Gast. Covering Jimmy Smith's Back at The Chicken Shack and The Sermon - Nachdem sich in den vergangenen Jahren das LaJazzO MV mit den in der Big Band vorkommenden Instrumenten musikalisch auseinandersetzte, wird in 2015 die Jazzorgel musikalisch thematisiert werden. Unter dem Titel "Organ meets Big Band" wird dieses sehr traditionsreiche Instrument der Jazzgeschichte in den Mittelpunkt der Konzertreihe im folgenden Jahr gestellt. Als Jazzinstrument wurde es von Fats Waller in den 30er Jahren eingeführt und hatte seine Hochzeit in den 50er Jahren durch seine Vertreter wie Jimmy Smith. Der international renommierte New Yorker Jazzorganist Jon Hammond wird zusammen mit dem LaJazzO MV unter der Leitung von Michael Leuschner den besonderen Charme dieses Instrumentes wieder zum Leben erwecken. Im Programm sind unter anderem Titel von Jimmy Smith, arrangiert von Steve Gray - eine Leihgabe aus dem Archiv der NDR-Bigband.

Jon Hammond studierte in den siebziger Jahren am Berklee College of Music und am City College San Francisco. Konzertreisen führten ihn quer durch die Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada. In seiner eigenen 'Jon Hammond Show' spielte er mit Musikern wie Dizzy Gillespie, Paul Butterfield, Jaco Pastorius, John Entwistle, Sammy Davis Jr., Percy Sledge und vielen anderen. Auch in Europa fand und findet seine Musik unverändert viele Anhänger. Die Medien berichten wiederholt von einem unverwechselbaren und prägenden Sound. Jon Hammond hat u.a. auf der 20. Frankfurter Musikmesse mitgewirkt und tritt vornehmlich in Hamburg auf. "The Jon Hammond Show" is a funky, swinging Jazz instrumental revue, featuring notable international soloists and reflecting the influences of Miles Davis, The Crusaders and Jimmy Smith.

A Musical Performer in the Spotlight: JON HAMMOND by Paul A. Hendrickson F3

One of the Musical Performers we get here at Laguna Honda is Jon Hammond. He has been playing here for quite a long time. He would mention in passing, between songs, some celebrities that are household names. It was done in such a way that it sounded as if he had met some of these people. Come to find out, he had.

After I got to talking to Jon, I realized that the polish he brings to his jazz piano and to Laguna Honda is no fluke. Jon resides mostly in New York City. He has a place in Times Square. In his neighborhood alone he met Paul Newman, Joanne woodward, and Al Pacino. He also has a Cable Access show there. On his Show he has interviewed people who he has found interesting. His favorite was Lionel Hampton, the reknowned vibe player. “At 80 years old, he was full of energy.”

Another he enjoyed had been Cab Calloway. This was after his re-emergence from the “Blues Brothers” movie. He mentions as one of his non-musician guests to be none other than Andy Warhol. It seems that Andy was interested in the computer Graphics and Artwork that jon and his crew used on the Show.

Though he plays a “jazz organ” on his CD’s and with his Band, Jon has been banging on the piano from about age six. When the Beatles came on the scene in ��64, Jon with most others his age, decided to become a “Rock” star. He tried his hand at this. He had some groups ranging in name from “Hades” to “Contraband”. He becomes thoughtful at this moment. “‘Contraband’ was a pretty good band.” At age thirteen he got his first electric-accordion.

Jon has a small collection of accordions – mostly electric. He has inked a deal with Excelsior, and plays their accordions exclusively. He also notes that eBay the computer sales website is a good source if you know what you’re looking for. Jon mentions that he will be playing accordion for Broadway’s own “Fiddler on The Roof.” “Whenver I learn the book.” He says it is about as thick as a telephone book.

His latest group is made up of the “Late Rent Session Men”. As the name implies, whenever Jon is a little short and behind on his Rent, his landlord takes some music in trade.

Jon plays every month at Laguna Honda. Look for the fliers and catch his show. I asked him why someone who trots the globe makes such frequent stops at Laguna Honda Hospital. He says, “Well, my Father was a Physician. My Grandfather was a Physician. I’m a Musician. I like to see the people smile.” Jon does his “therapy” in another way. He hopes to be one of the first performers when they build the “New Hospital.” Happy New Year.

*Note: Special thanks, Paul A. Hendrickson, Jon

It goes like this: *Jon arrives at the airport with a soft piece of luggage and his instrument in its hard case. *When checking in he explains to the Customer Service Agent that his instrument is essential to his work, irreplaceable, fragile, and worth several thousands of dollars. *He then displays the instrument, removes it from the case and places the soft luggage inside the accordion case, then proceeds to the security check. *He sends the accordion through the x-ray machine wrapped in his jacket. Sometimes the security people ask him to play it for them to demonstrate that it is a working instrument. *He then boards the aircraft with his accordion slung over his shoulder and carefully places it in the overhead bin (it fits!), covered with a blanket or jacket so other passengers don't throw their stuff on top of it!

He currently travels the world, playing gigs and attending trade shows.

“Every time I see a musician walking down the street I say, ‘Hey, where’s the gig?’ Because it doesn’t matter what kind of music you play, if you’re carrying an instrument–going to a rehearsal, or coming back from a repair shop, whatever it is–we all need our gigs. And that’s what the union is all about. Hopefully, we can all keep working and be supportive of everybody’s gigs. There’s room for everybody.” THE EARLY YEARS Jon Hammond was born in Chicago in 1953. His father was a doctor and his mother was a housewife. They both played the piano. In 1957, his parents moved Jon and his four sisters to Berkeley, CA, where his father worked in a hospital as head of the emergency room. When he was nine, Jon started accordion lessons. “In those days, they had studios where parents would drop their kids off after school for tap dancing and accordion lessons. There were accordion bands and they would compete against each other.” Jon played his first gig at a senior citizens luncheon when he was eleven. Not only did he get a free lunch but he was paid $25 –a lot of money in those days. Jon says his father was supportive, but did not want him to pursue a music career. “He told me that music was a great hobby. He got me a wonderful professional accordion for my Bar Mitzvah, directly from John Molinari, one of the greatest accordionists who ever lived. It was a Guilietti Professional Tone Chamber accordion. That’s the accordion I won Jr. Jazz Champion on in 1966.” In high school, Jon attended a private boys school in San Francisco. He was a class clown, and when it got to the point where he was going to be expelled, Jon took his accordion and ran away from home. He immersed himself in the San Francisco music scene and started playing organ in several bands. By 1971 he was in a four piece rock group called Hades which shared a rehearsal space with Quicksilver Messenger Service. “I was friends with their manager, Ron Polte, who also managed guitarist John Cipollina. We got to open for his band, Copperhead.” Jon continued to play gigs in the Bay Area in different configurations, including a few gigs with a young Eddie Money. By this time Jon had become frustrated with the Bay Area scene. One night while playing a biker bar he got into a fight and his band didn’t come to his defense. “That was the last straw. I was angry and I said I wasn’t coming back.”

Jon in the early 70s Jon moved to Boston in 1973 to attend the Berklee School of Music. He also got a gig playing in Boston’s Combat Zone backing up burlesque shows. When Jon saw one of his idols, pianist Keith Jarrett play in New York he told him he was going to Berklee and asked him for advice. “Keith looked me right in the eye and said ‘Berklee can be very dangerous for your music.’ It was like he popped this huge bubble. Years later I came to understand what he was talking about. You have to learn the fundamentals, but the music itself comes from a much deeper place. They can’t teach that, you have to find it yourself.” When Jon’s teachers began sitting in on his gigs in Boston, he questioned why he was in school if the teachers were coming to play with him. He quit school, moved to Cape Cod and started playing with bandleader Lou Colombo. “He did all the private parties for Tip O’Neill. We played what they used to call the business man’s beat. On the gig it was forbidden to swing. It was like swing cut in half. So if you tried to go with the four, Lou would say, ‘Don’t swing it, don’t swing it.’ He pounded it into my head night after night.” LATE RENT In 1981 Jon took a trip to Paris where he broke through his writers block and wrote some of his best music. He returned to New York with his new tunes and started a production company with the idea of getting a record deal for a friend that had played on a #1 hit record. After months of pounding the pavement with no results, Jon realized he had better work on his own music before his money ran out. He took the last of his savings, including his upcoming rent money, and went into the studio to record what came to be known as “The Late Rent Sessions”. The session had Todd Anderson on tenor sax, Barry Finnerty on guitar, Stephen Ferrone on drums, and Jon on B3. They recorded at Intergalactic, the last studio that John Lennon recorded in. Jon had no luck getting a record deal for his new project, but he did get gigs in New York with his band Jon Hammond and the Late Rent Session Men.

He started broadcasting on Manhattan’s public station in 1984. “I decided I was going to produce a radio show on TV. The first episodes showed just my tapping foot and my voice. It was a gimmick. We had graphics that were synchronized to go with the music. It worked out well. People dug it.” Within a few weeks, Jon was interviewed and featured in Billboard Magazine. The Jon Hammond Show was considered an alternative to the clips on Cable TV. “MTV was still in its infancy. We had a concept that was revolutionary. My phone started ringing and we were the hot kids on the block.” LIVING ABROAD Jon continued to play gigs in New York and produce his TV show. In 1987, he went to his first trade show (NAMM) where he was introduced to Mr. Julio Guilietti, the man who built his accordion. He then began traveling to trade shows and making contacts with musicians and companies around the world, including Hammond Suzuki. “They gave me the Hammond XB-2, the first really powerful portable Hammond organ. Glenn Derringer, one of my all-time heroes, presented it to me. I got one of the first. Paul Shaffer from the Letterman Show got the other. At the time there was only one EXP-100 expression pedal–we had to share the pedal. I used the pedal for my gigs and when Paul needed it I would bring it over to him at 30 Rockefeller Center on my bicycle.” In the early 90s, when his New York gigs began drying up, Jon was encouraged to go to Germany. “It was a hard time. My father had just died and there were very few gigs. I got the XB-2 organ right when I needed it, so I decided to take a chance. I bought a roundtrip ticket to Frankfurt with an open return. I went with 50 bucks and stayed for a year. When I came back, I had 100 bucks.” Jon stayed at a friend’s house and played a borrowed accordion on the street until he could get a band together. “I played on the street until my fingers turned blue and would collect enough money to get some fish soup. After about two weeks I got a call—I had put a band together and had 3 gigs coming up. A TV show had heard my story and wanted to do a story on me. At the first gig 19 people came; the second only 15 people came. Then I got the little spot on TV. When I came to the third gig people were lined up down the street. When I walked up I thought they were having an art exhibit. When they said, ‘No, they’re waiting for you.’ I choked up, I couldn’t even talk. So I’ve been playing there every year since. The people in Germany really saved my musical career at a time when very few things were happening for me in New York or San Francisco. I have a really good following in Europe. I keep busy as a musician in the States, playing hospitals and assisted living places, but my band dates I pretty much play overseas.” Jon’s Late Rent Sessions was eventually released on a German label and received modest airplay. During the 90s he travelled back and forth to Europe, spending a year playing gigs in Paris, and eventually settling in Hamburg. Since then he has released two more albums and has played gigs in Moscow, Shanghai, and Australia. With the help of the internet, Jon is able to produce his TV show anywhere. PRESENT DAY In the mid-2000s Jon produced Hammondcast, a radio program for CBS that aired in San Francisco at four in the morning and was rebroadcast before Oakland A’s games. “When the baseball games played in the afternoon, my show would play for about 20 minutes and then it was pre-empted. I had a lot of fun with that.” His guests included Danny Glover, Barry Melton from Country Joe & the Fish, and many local people. “It took me awhile to figure out that I had permission to broadcast anything I wanted. I could play the London Philharmonic or Stevie Wonder. My tag line was ‘Hello, Hello, Hello! Wake up or go back to sleep…’” Today, Jon continues to visit tradeshows and is determined to keep doing everything he does as long as he can. “I made a pact with my longtime co-producer, guitarist Joe Berger, that we are going to go to these trade shows until we are little old men with canes.” Jon has released four CDs
