THIS TRAIL¹S GOTTEN A LOT LONGER
The pilot for the upcoming cable TV series ³Tales from the Trail,² on which
Jon is the head composer, is finished, and in talks with the online
counterpart to a cable TV outdoor channel for sponsorship and
online viewing before it hits the small screen ­ with hopefully an entire
season of episodes. More info will be available later this spring.

REPRISE RE-PRIDE
Ten years ago, Jon released a single called Pride, which was a musical
version of gay history of the 20th century, à la Billy Joel¹s We Didn¹t
Start the Fire. Now, 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall
Rebellion and the
beginning of the gay rights movement ­ so it¹s only fitting to update and
release Pride 2009 . The recording and arrangement is brand new, features
vocals by indie Kevin Hannan, and will be accompanied by a video ­ an
historic montage of the last 110 years of GLBTQ history. The EP will be
called Pride at 40 , and will feature vocalists Becky Maas, David Brown and
Kevin Hannan. Release is slated for mid-spring 2009, just in time for pride
season.

COOL, COOL SUMMER
