Introducing the Buggy Jive

The BUGGY JIVE is:

• BT: lead vox, acoustic guitar
• JENNIFER: electric guitar
• CLEOPATRA JOANZ: bass
• LADY MAC: snare, hi-hat, kick drum, tin can
• EVERYBODY: backing vox

JENNIFER. They say she ain’t black enough. They say she ain’t white enough. They say she’s too big for Schenectady. She ain’t big enough.

CLEOPATRA JOANZ. Her birth certificate says “Roberta Joan Anderson” but these days even her mama calls her Cleo. The big bad low end from the big bad low end. She’s 6’2″ of dynamite and the hottest super agent ever.

LADY MAC. Her drumsticks are knives and she’s ready to cut ya – as long as you don’t look like her Daddy. Her motto: “No toms and no Toms.”

BRYAN THOMAS. Punk. Clown. Fool.

The Hole

My hole is warm and full of light. Yes, full of light. There’s no brighter spot in all of New York than this hole of mine. Studio light-itized and photographed by Jean Luc for TheHiddenCity.com.

The Piano

Above-ground to record piano on three songs – “Muse,” “Sam,” and “City.”

Only the “Muse” keys made the cut.
