Jump,
Little Children
in Chicago at Schuba's
1/27/00
and
in Ann Arbor at the Blind
Pig 1/28/00.
This time last year, I was on Year 4 of
begging the boys of Jump to
come to the Windy City.
(I'm sure they were as sick
of hearing me as I was sick of begging!)
Who knew then that, in less
than a year,
J,LC would have played 3 shows in Chi-town.
This was the first full-length show and I was blissing big-time.
Surprisingly, or maybe not surprisingly,
I was surrounded by fellow ex-Southerners who had been missing the warmth
of Jump.
Ann Arbor also seems to be warming
to the Talents of the Jumpettes and we all hope the snowball of popularity keeps rolling down-hill, picking up as many flakes as possible as it rolls.
Perhaps next time, a full house at the Blind Pig???
Or will it be a theatre show???
It can't be soon enough.

Chicago needs you to warm us up, Jay.
|
|
Get ready for lot's of close-ups.
|
|
Worth the price of the camera for close-ups of Ev.
|
|
Jonny, doing what he loves, entertaining the people!
|
|
What makes us hot?
Well some Hot Chocolate would be nice.
|
|
I don't want to work. I want to bang on the drum all day!
|
|
There's Wardie - singing from his toes.
|
|
Worshipping at the church of Rock-n-Roll!
|
|
How do you start a fire?
Rub Matt and Ward together and sparks will fly!
|
|
I'm feeling much warmer now.
|
|
Ev - get out of town with that 'Stay My Hand'
- your best song yet!
|
|
Ward just wants to Rock-n-roll all night...
|
|
Check out this pair.
|
|
Ah, Jay, we are helpless in the face of your gifts.
|
|
The World Accordion to Matt.
|
|
Fresh from a quick repair, no Cello ever had it so good.
|
|
OK, we got through that.
Now, I need a drink!
|
|
Let's start Ann Arbor with a few candids.
|
|
How does his back curve like that?
|
|
Oops, Ward caught me.
|
|
Jonny and some amps.
|
|
Let's sing a little song about how good
Ethiopian food can be.
|
|
Jonny does his best to entertain the growing Ann Arbor
crowd.
|
|
No wonder he loves that guitar - it's dipped in Pink Lemonade!
|
|
Capture the new crowd, Jay, and make them your slaves.
|
|
Evan rocks - don't ever doubt it.
Don't even think of doubting it.
|
|
It was cold again, so I guess that 'What makes
you hot?' question never gets old.
|
|
If I swallow the mic,
will it still make that feedback sound in my stomach?
|
|
Fast Friends.
|
|
Get into their brains, Jay.
Hold on tight, never let go.
|
|
Great Jonny!
|
|
I'm praying it won't snow...
