Blue and (hello) lonesome
Friday, February 15th, 2008In honor of singles awareness day, we thought we’d share a story with ya’ll: So about 3 years ago, one of the Jones Street Boys was dating this real nice girl. He went to meet her for dinner one night, and as he arrived at the restaurant, he sees that she is talking to a friend of hers. This Jones Street Boy moseys on up with a big smile on his face. “Hey” says the real nice girl to her friend, “this is…um, this is…well, uh…”. Oh yes. She forgot his name. With his head hung low he went back home, but not before picking up a bottle of bourbon. Turns out that the same day, a pair of black Jack Purcells had arrived in the mail. He went upstairs, laced up his new sneaks, opened the bottle and promptly drank himself into blackout. The next morning, he opened his eyes, contacts plastered to corneas, shoes still looking slick, and saw that there was a mic plugged in to his sad little desktop Pro Tools recording rig and a guitar on the floor. He had, apparently, written a song. Today “Hello Lonesome” was featured on the homepage of the very cool Planetary Group http://www.planetarygroup.com/. You can check it out at our Myspace page.
