Sending you on your way tonight with a sharp and biting rock classic from Pete Townshend, 'Rough Boys' from his Empty Glass album. It rocks, it has brilliantly added brass, and it was part of the soundtrack of one of the best summers of Johnny's life.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PETE TOWNSWND!
Ah the hours spent listen to the Empty Glass album way back up at Northern Michigan University with Johnny's buddy Sean O' Hara. If you ever do read this Sean, Johnny still had the masterful drawing you did for him of the pictured album cover (one of Johnny's all-time faves) until his last move.
Wrapping up the music series this week here's Pete Townsend with 'A Little is Enough'.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PETE TOWNSEND!
Now, you've heard this song before many times. You've seen Pete Townsend perform it many times. Never like this before. The Who NEVER EVER used a live violin player for the end of the classic 'Baba O'Reilly'. They always used a recording. Townsend felt it would simply be too difficult to even try. On a 2000 tour of some of his Lifehouse project tunes, producer and keyboard player John 'Rabbit' Bundrick persuaded Townsend to try it with a live violin player just once. The result is one of the best performances of any violin player ever. The Jersey City Desk is pleased to bring you Gaby Lester on violin working utter magic on 'Baba O'Reilly'. We think you'll agree.
