Quenby is traversing from an amazing weekend in Jackson Hole, WY at the Silver Dollar to Austin, TX tomorrow to begin a week of final mixing!
Loyal Jackson fans deserve a round of applause for showing up with their spirited appreciation and wonderful dancing! It was an eclectic crowd at the Wort both nights with folks both local and from all over the world, along with a fun-loving group that came down from the Bozeman area in Montana too. A birthday shout-out goes to Glenna who we got to celebrate with both nights (and we discovered she shares the same birthdate as both Elizabeth Taylor and Johnny Cash…). We enjoyed a tasty and jovial final morning brunch send-off with her at Eleanor’s Bar and Grill.
This week on Wednesday through Saturday Quenby will be back at 12th Street Sound with Kevin Szymanski. Tessy Lou Williams will also come in to lay down some harmony vocal tracks. We are excited to announce that the decision has been made of using ‘Pretty Little Thing’ for the title track of the new album. Check out the video of this song played at the Silver Dollar bar on Saturday night by clicking on this hyperlink.
This empowering spicey song is about Quenby’s personal experience of being given un-qualified advice about how she should live; and yet using her wisdom followed her own path… lyrics:
You say I’m such a pretty little thing (x4)
I wouldn’t show you my pretty little thing,
if you showed me the fattest diamond ring;
You say you have got what I want (x4)
Don’t try to bait me ‘cuz I won’t be caught
Don’t try to sell me cuz I won’t be bought.
You say you’re such a man about town
Well I wouldn’t let you show me around your town
If you sent me the sleekest blackest car around.
‘Cuz you gotta know how I like to rock ‘n’ roll;
‘Cuz the one who knows how I like to rock ‘n’ roll,
That’s the one who gets to see it all!
P.S. Jake, a fan from the Bozeman area, scored a free Q&WOW coozie at the Silver Dollar by mentioning last week’s feature song ‘Baby Let Me Go’ to Quenby – good job Jake 😉 … stay tuned for upcoming gigs and another chance – this time the first person per weekly post to mention EITHER the title track or the upcoming feature songs during at that week’s venues can win…!
