“Live from New York, It’s Saturday Night…”
I suppose at this point I am officially championing a cause. I got Don’s long awaited new CD in the mail yesterday, and was instantly smitten with the lead track, What SNL Stands For. I’m not sure what the hidden meaning is here. Maybe there isn’t one – unless Jimmy Fallon and Matt Damon are metaphors for something, which let’s face it is highly unlikely.
What I do know, is that this song is funny, catchy and great. Jangly guitars, a whack of echo, reverb and probably his most extensive vocal versatility to date. A lot of Don’s friends and acquaintances visit this site, and I know they’re all anxious for a listen. So excuse the doubling up, but it has to be done. If you like what you hear, join us on October 14th for Don’s Boston show and click here to buy the CD.

“You can make a hedge hog run… but it will never… run!!!”
Brilliant Doug – I took that saying on my Ireland trip and they loved it… what I got back was “Black sky at Night… Night” – typically say that to an ugly girl or a barmen that expects you to pay a large tab.
And this applies to Don Lennon how?
