Halloween, Hallowmas, Day of the Dead – whatever holiday you celebrate. Dial it
back on the sugar though, I don’t want y’all too hyped up. Yeah, like I’ve got
the right to tell you that. My birthday was the 29<SUP>th</SUP> and I received
enough dark chocolate that for mere mortals would last a year but me? Maybe a
week. Hey, it’s got antioxidants. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">I had
the extreme pleasure of attending two great concerts last week, Janis Ian and
Paula Poundstone; kick-ass folk music one night and great improv comedy the
next. And actually, Ian can be pretty funny, especially when expounding on her
ego. (Singer-songwriters have inflated egos? Who knew?) Poundstone didn’t sing
but announced to a room full of Southerners that her and her children were
atheists. The crowd got so quiet that I swear I could hear my hair grow. Then
she followed it up with one liners about not bothering people on Saturday
morning and giving out blank books. I think I bust a blood vessel laughing so
much.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">I’ve
been an Ian fan ever since a grade school friend’s mother brought home
“Society’s Child.” (She was the cool mom on the block, also introducing me to
The Doors and Carole King.) My nine year old mind couldn’t comprehend why
someone with such a pretty voice was banned from the radio. “At Seventeen” came
out when I was seventeen. I dropped the needle down on that album so many times
it’s a wonder I could still hear it through the scratches. I bought all her
albums and learned as many of her songs as I could. My lesbian friends and I
speculated about her sexuality but I didn’t know for sure until she came out
with “Breaking Silence” just a few years ago.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">I’d
forgotten what a great guitar player she is. She doesn’t just plow through
standard chords but uses the whole fretboard, employing tasteful runs and chord
voicings not found in the folk singer handbook. At the show she started
“Society’s Child” with a cool bass run. The next day I cruised YouTube, looking
at her old videos, including one from the Smothers Brothers show, back when she
was a teen. I can’t imagine writing and performing a song about interracial
dating at that age and in that time. At fifteen I was still learning how to go
from D to G without stopping.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

was perusing YouTube I found a wonderful clip of Phoebe Snow singing “Let the
Good Times Roll.” I knew she was a good guitar player because of that signature
riff from “Poetry Man” but I didn’t know how good until I saw her rip into a
soulful solo on that video. It’s too bad she’s not performing much these
days.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

you’re 20 again and 10 pm is the new 7 pm. I’ll be performing with my band,
Broad Street, something I don’t usually do except in my home town. We’ve got a
little something special for you (hint: it involves a veil and sequins) so you

a rough solo version up at <A href="http://www.jamieanderson.com/music.html"><FONT color=#0000ff>www.jamieanderson.com/music.html</FONT></A> The reason I haven’t
spent money on a nice recording is because I’m probably breaking a million

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">A few
years back, I had a gig in Denver. The next day, I drove south to Colorado
Springs for another show. As I entered the city limits, I saw a sign proclaiming
“Focus on the Family next exit.” (I knew they weren’t talking about MY family.)
Normally I wouldn’t get too excited about a sign like that but this was a
highway sign paid for with our tax dollars. In this country that professes to be
a land for all religions, I find it interesting that you’ll never see a sign
saying “Wiccan temple next exit.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">I
whined about the sign at my concert that night. An audience member told me what
locals call the place and I thought, well, a theme park needs an anthem. So I
wrote one. It’s a fun sing along at shows although there’s a venue in Virginia
that may never book me again because of it. On the other hand, I played it at an
MCC (Metropolitan Community Church) benefit in South Carolina and they loved it.
Go figure.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
