E.J. at Murphy’s – You should have gone!
E.J. was completely wonderful! What a clear, beautiful voice. Why can’t I go and buy his CD down the block? That seems wrong. Seriously. Makes me want to get my guitars fixed and try and make something of myself. I spent so much of my life training that I never did that creative experimentation other people did. E.J. did it, and he got it right.
I’m so glad I went when I did. I orchestrated it so I was the last customer at Do-Duds (drop-off laundry) and the first at Murphy’s. I shot lots of video on my camera to share. Morgan was there. The two women I’d met from the Queer Action Coalition were there. Chris showed up later, and we talked about music and the origins of Delta tamales. Oh, and E.J. asked me for a request, so I got a little Billy Bragg ("Valentine’s Day is Over"). Thanks, E.J.! I may say more tomorrow if I get around to it, but here are a few pix and a clip.
