A special show featuring Janis with old friends Fred Knobloch, Thom Schuyler, and Tony Arata, this quartet has been chosen to open the annual Tin Pan South extravaganze.
Janis often says that Thom, along with Don Schlitz, convinced her to move to Nashville 23 years ago. Coincidentally, it was a co-write with Thom that got Janis her first "country" cover, for the song "A Love Like That", sung by Judy Rodman.
She has also said that the first time she saw Knobloch play (at the Bluebird! in 1986), she realized it was possible to be singing a great song AND playing fantastic guitar as an accompaniment. Up until then, she'd felt the guitar had to be fairly simple to accompany the voice, or it would detract from the song. (In fact, the song was 'Feels Like Mississippi', one of the best songs ever written about the South" she says.)

Ebay Auction To Benefit The Pearl Foundation
Please share!! As many of you know, my wife and I moved recently, downsizing from 4,500 sq ft to 1,000. We have no room left for most of my "stuff"!!! so I'm in the process of donating my archives, so most of my memorabilia is going there - however, my friend Joan Maute helped me select things that seemed appropriate for Pearl Foundation fundraisers. We are beginning with a 7-day auction with multiple items.This auction will end Sunday, May 16th at 4:00PM PT.
