About Me

Jonny Lightning, Jon Light....no matter. It has been my pleasure (extreme) to pick some steel with Sean Kershaw & The New Jack Ramblers for two and a fraction years up until a couple of years ago. A residency at Hank's Saloon learns you a whole lot. I forget what. It will be my pleasure to sit in with the bruthas in the future when the situation arises. I'll be popping up here & there with Ben Krieger & Karen Hudson , sitting in on occasion with The Jimmy Nations Combo and Shotgun Shack and with other people in other places just when you least expect it. If you come by and say "MySpace sent me" I'll probably dive under my guitar until the coast is clear because Myspace is downright creepy.
I'm currently involved with a new project that's got me kinda jazzed. I've joined up with these cats, Banjo Jack (you'd think that blinking shit would be annoying, wouldn't you? But it's not!) and we're seeing where this takes us. First group in years that I've joined as a non-freelancer which says a lot about what I think of the music. Recording is in the plans. Keep an eye on that site for the dates of our upcoming shows.
I love every ape I see, from chimpan A to chimpan Z.

My Interests

Jonny Lightning, Jon Light, knucklehead....it's all good.

I'd like to meet:

......Troy McClure. You may remember him from such..........................and other steel guitar pilgrims like these guys:And Willie Eason just 'cause he's cool looking.

Music:

Oh, the usual--Dolphy, Ornette, Hag, Lloyd Green

Television:

eyeball whitener infomercials

Books:

My lips get tard from all that reading stuff so I watches my stories on the teevee.

Heroes:

Heroes....nah, that's bullshit. But Pete Seeger is my man.It's not about the music although he has made his mark. WWPD... What Would Pete Do? Dig? In a world of Rupert Murdochs, guys like Pete stand up and shine and remind you of what it means to be righteous. BUT REMEMBER, KIDS--------DON'T FOLLOW LEADERS AND WATCH YOUR PARKING METERS!!
