Happy Birthday Jonny V!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Honoré de Balzac, Warren Cann (Ultravox), Cher, Kit Clarke (Danny Wilson), Joe Cocker, Susan Cowsill, Steve George (Mr. Mister), David Hedison, Nick Heyward, Guy Hoffman (BoDeans), Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, Astrid Kirchherr, Shorty Long, Dolly Madison, Cindy McCain, John Stuart Mill, Timothy Olyphant, The Police’s 1983 single “Every Breath You Take,” Zbigniew Preisner, Busta Rhymes, James Stewart, Jane Weidlin, Anthony Zerbe, and my friend, the uber-talented singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jonny Vee (no relation to Bobby Vee). He’s best known as a longsuffering champion of the West Coast punk scene and as front man for the legendary San Diego band Social Spit. Off that grid, we worked together in the mid-80s and I was astonished by his diverse and well-produced demo-ing of material ranging in style from rock gospel to agit-pop to folk to prog-rock. Here’s a song of mine we whipped together at a former spaghetti factory in San Francisco—a track inspired by The Alarm and T-Bone Burnett…and HB JV.
