Was browsing through the LA Times and came across an article on an old friend that was written up in the magazine. Jonathan Wilson was one half of the North Carolina band Muscadine along with Benji Hughes. Both salt of the earth, super guys with an extreme love of music who I had the privilege of touring with while I was in the band Sugarsmack. One of my favorite trips was both bands traveling together in a rented RV playing shows across the South all the way to SXSW to play our showcase and mingle with Sandra Bullock, Forrest Whitaker and Bill Paxton – random. Ah…the glory days.

I heard Jonathan had jumped around a bit til finally settling in Laurel Canyon. LA is lucky to have him. He is an amazing musician that can pick up any instrument and make it sing. Yeah, one of those guys…the ones you’re lucky to get to hang with. Although he still plays shows supporting Benji on his solo gigs, he has carved out a nice scene for himself in the Canyon. Nice to see old friends doing great things…
