Hi All
If anyone's interested my review of the Billy Walton Band at the 100 Club in London just went live on www.musicriot.co.uk.
There's an interview to follow soon with some really complimentary stuff about Southside. I'll let you know when that goes live.
Hope you like it.
What's happening with the new Jukes album?

Alex,
The earlier Early Elton show was at The Bitter End Cafe. Chris Noth was part owner of The Cutting Room. Jeff did perform a Kazee Digs show at The Cutting Room. Both shows were lots of fab fun!

ajcmixer & MissOctober......I remember that Rt 4 & RT. 208 very well. Southside Maryanne...that's your home territory. Even the Gman can come south from Rockland County. JK will let us know the club.

Fair Lawn? Cool! The old country. Do they still have Ken's Magic Shop or that movie theater that played Rocky Horror at Midnight on Saturday? (Reggie Ridgewood vs. Freddie Fair Lawn, anyone?)

Was there along with a small but enthusiastic crowd, made for a rather intimate evening. 8:10PM>9:40PM, Jeff, Rich & John played it like it was a sold-out show, the consummate professionals that they all are. Saw it the 1st time they performed it last year (?)@that Chris Noth-owned club and the addition of the four or five songs onto the rest of that set really made it a nice and full evening. They rocked it:-wink/smile.
Bad Side of the Moon -Jeff
Take Me to The Pilot - Jeff
No Shoestrings On Louise (!) - Rich
Border Song - Jeff
Levon - Rich
Mona Lisa & Mad Hatters - Jeff/Rich
My Father's Gun - Rich
Country Comfort - John/Rich/Jeff
Madman Across The Water - Jeff
Amoreena - Jeff
Friends (!) - John
Burn Down The Mission - Jeff
E: Honkey Cat - Jeff, Grey Seal - Rich.
No filler in this 15 song set, my highlights was Bad Side..., a great song found on the Here & There Live album (I think, lol!), My Father's Gun, a personal fave, the entire band TOTALLY slaying Madman and Amoreena, another personal fave.
They announced they were playing Fair Lawn (?), NJ on Friday May 21st so it would be an excellent opportunity for some of the Jersey-ites to catch an excellent band recreating some of Elton's best material.
Peace,
Alex

It's similar to what Little Steven said at the YMCA and The Lead Singer confirmed in his last QoTW.
Looking forward to the answer(s) of the week! I wonder if the winner gets a Good Guys Sweatshirt?

Had a chance to see the great Willie Nile at the Tralf Concert Hall here in Balmy Buffalo last Saturday night. Willie is from nearby Cheektowaga, New York and was backed by his brother's outstanding band at a near sell out performance. He plays with Bruce periodically, and shared with me post show that he knows SSJ and is a SSJ/ Jukes fan. If you get a chance to see him in the Village or thereabouts, take the opportunity. His Streets of New York CD is outstanding. It is said that the great Lucinda Williams once opined that if there were any justice in the world, she would be opening for Willie Nile instead of vice versa. No word on a Buffalo Jukes show yet. Its not too late. If your Catholic, perhaps a prayer to St Josepho, St Anthony(patron Saint of lost things) or with March 17th coming, perhaps St. Patrick! Best regards, BB

I had a really busy weekend and finally had the chance around 3:30 yesterday to plop on the couch and read the Sunday paper. I put on the TV and flipped around until I saw the Mets spring training game was on. I left it on, more for background noise than a real interest in players wearing numbers higher than 80. It's on for only a few minutes when the announcers, Gary Cohen and Ron Darling are talking about the number of players connected to NJ that were part of the game when the following exchange takes place:
Gary Cohen: Maybe we should have Bruce play a show after the game?
Ron Darling: How about the Asbury Jukes?
Gary Cohen: That would be great, too.
Great to hear a Jukes reference come unexpectedly. I needed to rewind the DVR to make sure I heard it correctly. However, this is now the 3rd Jukes reference on a Mets telecast that I have heard and I don't watch or go to too many Mets games. The other two were the playing of 'It's Been A Long Time' while showing clips of Shea Stadium moments during Shea's final game ceremony and the playing of 'This Time It's For Real' closing out the opening ceremony of CitiField.

Mr. Pimp,
If I may take the liberty. The answer may lie in the concept of the Seasons.
The Lead Singer is unencumbered by the whims of Julian calendar. His creative process is impervious to the notion of the numeric consistency to the amount of “hours in the day”, “days of the week”, “weeks of the month” and dare I say months of the so-called “year” as we have come to know it. (CC take note re: Jive schedule.)
This, of course is no consolation, but will explain part of the enigma that is our dearest Southside.
P.S. I hope that Jeff Bridges will win tonight!

Peaches, I say Yes too. I think we should move forward with Blind Faith that we can make it happen and not let the Lead Singer pull some Cheap Trick and refuse to participate. We next have to figure out Who will be in charge and how to come up with the Bread. We don't have to worry about anyone being Bad Company even if we are a Motley Crue we can get along for a few days. I'll stop at seven and let someone else take over.

MORE NEW YOUR DATES!!! Check the Tour Dates page.
And a heads-up about the Wellmont tickets - they go on sale Fri 3/5 at 12:00PM. There are different price levels, os it looks like they'll be doing seats again. Bospop goes on sale March 20th (if I figured out the Dutch on their website right).

Jamoke
From the online slang dictionary:
"An idiot. A fool, moron, or otherwise ignorant person. A person pretending to be streetsmart, but lacking it entirely. Often used to refer to a person who makes a fool of themselves while trying to impress others."
Other uses - slang for coffee and a third you will have to look up yourself because it is not lady-like to repeat.

I saw you without realising it last night at the 100 Club. I was talking to William and (the big giveaway) had a camera round my neck.
I agree that Billy's live set was storming. I'm doing a review which I'll post a link to when it goes live but I also got a really good interview with Billy after the set which is also going on the website. Billy said some really nice things about Johnny and was an all-round good guy.
Review, interview and pix coming soon.

Chevy Chase:
Last week we made the comment that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Now here to reply is our chief meteorologist, John Belushi, with a seasonal report.
John Belushi:
Thank you Chevy. Well, another winter is almost over and March true to form has come in like a lion, and hopefully will go out like a lamb. At least that's how March works here in the United States.
But did you know that March behaves differently in other countries? In Norway, for example, March comes in like a polar bear and goes out like a walrus. Or, take the case of Honduras where March comes in like a lamb and goes out like a salt marsh harvest mouse.
Let's compare this to the Maldive Islands where March comes in like a wildebeest and goes out like an ant. A tiny, little ant about this big.
[holds thumb and index fingers a small distance apart]
Unlike the Malay Peninsula where March comes in like a worm-eating fernbird and goes out like a worm-eating fernbird. In fact, their whole year is like a worm-eating fernbird.
Or consider the Republic of South Africa where March comes in like a lion and goes out like a different lion. Like one has a mane, and one doesn't have a mane. Or in certain parts of South America where March swims in like a sea otter, and then it slithers out like a giant anaconda.
There you can buy land real cheap, you know. And there's a country where March hops in like a kangaroo, and stays a kangaroo for a while, and then it becomes a slightly smaller kangaroo. Then, then, then for a couple of days it's sort of a cross between a, a frilled lizard and a common house cat.
[Chevy Chase tries to interrupt him]
Wait wait wait wait. Then it changes back into a smaller kangaroo, and then it goes out like a, like a wild dingo. Now, now, and it's not Australia! Now, now, you'd think it would be Australia, but it's not!
[Chevy Chase tries to interrupt him]
Now look, pal! I know a country where March comes in like an emu and goes out like a tapir. And they don't even know what it means! All right? Now listen, there are nine different countries, where March comes in like a frog, and goes out like a golden retriever. But that- that's not the weird part! No, no, the weird part is, is the frog. The frog- The weird part is-

As an aside, there seem to be more T-Bones in show business, than I've been previously aware of. And, of course, now that Meryl Streep is changing her name, it will be all the more confusing!
