As I mentioned recently, I am in Chicago for the debut concert of the Polish singer that I'm working with now. This is the only show he has on this trip because we're just now setting up the business plan and needed him here for that.

Though he isn't "praise & worship" or christian music, he is a huge hero to all Polonia (Poles outside of Poland) and the Polish Catholic Church has been our biggest help sponsoring him in America.

His album will come out in September and they are helping us line up the Polish community to support a tour, which will allow us to book him into other venues without having to worry about how much money it makes on this first time through.

Anyway all that to say that they gave me a room this week at St Ferdinand's in Chicago...and I'm staying in the CONVENT with a bunch of nuns who can't even speak english. There's only one shower on the entire floor so it was 3 days before I had the courage to chance one of the sisters walking in on me.

Anyone who knows me will understand that it is extremely "unique" (ehem!?) for me to be working with the Catholic church on anything.

Ted, its not the NUNs you;d have to worry about, walking in on your shower... I'd be setting up a Cardinal Alert, and BTW, was the ex Pope was last seen, heading to Chicago?

Oh man, that was a slam and a half, Grant.

My son is a film-maker who came in from San Francisco and was staying with me in the convent. One night last week he heard someone coming through the front door and thought it might be me so he walked out into the hall, only to find one of the background singers smuggling a guy into her (convent) room. Busted!


pajans!

You live in a convent? Or just staying in one right now? that's crazy!

Martin Luther's bride was smuggled out of convent in a beer barrel! Along with other ex-nuns he tried to marry her off. She was not having it so finally he demanded, "Woman, who will you marry?" "You Dr. Martin. You..."

"Oh..." he replied...

So he sent again to the brewery and this time asked for only one barrel, and that it be full, for his upcoming nuptials.

Germans, even Pastors, take getting married pretty seriously.

Though it sounds like it could have been creepy, it was anything but. We had a fantastic success in Chicago because of the help they gave us.

..and I'm now sure of one thing. This guy is going to be huge in America.

You heard it here first. Mietek.

lol Want to buy some Brooklyn bridge?

I'll sell it to you cheap.

Hmmm...it appears you are not yet a believer. That will change.

He sold about 800 tickets for his first concert at $25. If you know how to multiply, you'll understand that is not a bad start. How many tickets could you sell in Chicago?

When he comes back for his first American tour in September, his American CD will release, and by the end of the year you will know who your daddy is.

Seriously, he is one of the worlds greatest male vocalists. Many think he is the best....and he already has a few million Polish fans in America.

I just need to figure out how to introduce this guy to Americans, and he'll do the rest.

I hope it works out for him..yes I am dubious, but who knows?

It's not impossible, maybe it will work out exactly the way you think it will.
Then again, maybe people will start to talk music here at bmix and forget the politics because everyone gets so uncomfortable when they do. (hic)

Oh and Peg will post a real pic too.

JCP will record a song that isn't awful and isn't whole tones. LOL

Hmm I am sure there are a few more, they just elude me for the moment.

If I seem over caustic, Ted. Please forgive me, I am on overload.
(My head feels as if it's on fire.)

Wow...an apology on BM? What next?

Nah, you don't sound caustic. Can't blame anyone for being skeptical, I would be too, especially since you haven't had a chance to hear the whole "english" CD.

Personally, I'm more into electric blues-based english rock but since the first time I saw this guy live, I can't stop listening to his music. Though its not really what I would have called my style, I know a million dollars when I hear it. This guy really is phenomenal.

He won't get much respect around here because he is more of a jazz/classical/soul singer doing folk/Americana music, but he will still be a huge success in America once that album comes out and people hear him sing.

His concert was the first time since I saw Dixie Dregs in the late 70s that I felt I had just witnessed fine art. No hype, no manipulation, no gimmicks...just greatness.

You know what they say, "nothing stronger than personal testimony" and you qualify as an expert witness so you've in affect given him credence by merely openly declaring him as viable.

After I saw your new picture / avatar I decided to quit taking drugs!
