one thing leads to another





so I (and I am guessing a few thousand of her closest friends) get this email from Laura, who plays in this duo called the sweet potatoes. I first wrote her an email back a few years to find out what happened after she left tv. She s probably best known as the improvisational pianist on WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY. But anyway, one of the things she is doing now is singing:

"The Sweet Potatoes
featuring Laura Hall & Kelly Macleod
acoustic driven Americana music with a fresh twist"

this email is announcing they will be playing in a club in North Hollywood this month. I click on the link and find the club. scroll down looking at the list of who has played there and find this guy named Laurence Juber. Well it turns out that Laurence plays classical guitar and was the lead guitarist for Wings with Paul McCartney when they toured for 3 years. so i click on amazon and listen to some of his music...and one album is called LJ plays the beatles and is very interesting and fun to hear.

ain't it funny in life how one thing leads to another. You start off doing homework, check email, click a couple of links, and before you know it you are easing down the long and winding road feeling good and mellow and end up listening to Laurence and then you are on to The Greatest Hits of The Beatles Classical Style and you just have to stop and blog a bit..and the next thing you know old Jed's a millionaire and you find it is about 2 hours later and you have done no homework, washed no clothes , or thought about fixing any supper.
