D Kav snags a video/interview with the woman responsible for setting up the gig at Common Grounds on Friday, April 16, 2010 for Writing The Rails, D Kav and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital (and someone equipped with a lovely voice:) Leslie Jo Cornell. Again, Leslie, thanks SO Much for letting me crash at your folks’ house. That helped Greatly! :D www.myspace.com/moneygrove
D Kav wakes up (only after a FEW hours of sleep) and is preparing for his trip from Mattoon, IL to Carbondale, IL on the Amtrak.
D Kav closes out Day 2 with an interview at the Cornell house (where D Kav stayed after the Common Grounds show in Mattoon, IL.) He speaks with Johnny Cornell of the group, Money Grove. MG consists of Johnny and his sister, Leslie Jo Cornell (Johnny couldn’t give the web site before the camera “max”ed out on memory.) D Kav also drools over the beautiful ‘51 Gibson Jazz Guitar that belonged to Johnny’s grandfather.
Jeremy McConnaha plays an original song that was written “on the spot” about “a movie.” At one point, he calls it “Numb.” (I believe.) Ethan back him up on the cajon/percussion. Great groove! Performed at the Common Grounds Massive Jam for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital via David Kav & Writing The Rails on Friday, April 16, 2010.
Jenna Jackley performs the original song “Little Bird” (the title track from her new album - available now) at Common Grounds via David Kav & Writing The Rails at the Massive Jam for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital on Friday, April 16, 2010. www.myspace.com/jennajackleymusic
Taylor Wagner performs an original song called “Neverland” at the Common Grounds Massive Jam via David Kav & Writing The Rails on Friday, April 16, 2010. www.mattooncommongrounds.com
A GREAT version of The Beatles’ classic (which Beatles song isn’t one?) of “Come Together” performed by Leslie Jo Cornell with her brother, Johnny Cornell. Together, they make up a band called Money Grove. www.myspace.com/moneygrove (Seriously, guys, this version gave me chills while editing the video.)
AJ Schubert performs his original song, “Windows Down” at Common Grounds, Mattoon, IL on Friday, April 16, 2010 via David Kav & Writing The Rails. Johnny Cornell backs up AJ on the guitar.
Aaron Wilson performs an original song from his band, Position 12, called “Meanwhile.” The voice is almost an exact replica of Kurt Cobain (which I dig.) More of Position 12’s music at: www.myspace.com/position12
