Operation 365 - Jefferson Jay - Originals - 7 "Fabulous Love" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF3_gOB5ll

This is a tune of mine called Fabulous Love. Haven't really played it much out ever yet. Wrote it on banjo last year. It is a spiritual song of sorts about perseverance and survival.

Operation 365 - Jefferson Jay - Covers - 7 "I Shall Be Released" by Bob Dylan - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLXtXFLGEd8

Another spiritual song about perseverance and survival incidentally. It is hard sometimes to tell what's planned and what just happens and seems planned. I guess if you believe everything happens for a reason like I do, then nothing is random and although I feel I didn't plan to put two songs, "I Shall Be Released" and my "Fabulous Love," available here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF3_gOB5llo up on the same day, I guess it's the only way that it could ever have been.

Operation 365 - Jefferson Jay - Archives - 7 J.Mitchell - 10-20-09 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9ci08bpIGg

Anyone who knows me knows I like an oddity (a freak show if you will) as much as anybody. In fact, I live for it. It may be my favorite type of entertainment. This sets the table for my Archive offering today. I strongly suggest you check the inimitable (although it is fun trying) J. Mitchell. The first time he came out to my show before I even met him, someone had saved his life from choking with the Heimlich. I would say this is about an average J. Mitchell performance. I miss his fine work. Perhaps the most unique creature I've ever met. I could go on and on with crazy stories from the short time I've known him, but I will allow his fine work to speak for itself. To anyone who thinks that Open Mics are not quality entertainment, I offer you J. Mitchell opening up the show at my Open Mic on October 20, 2009.
