Sorry for the 19 minutes. Laura set it up for us and apparently fast-forwarded. The bandmembers asked Jason why he was slumming when he auditioned for them.

I'll explain: The Shah of Iran had a wife. The wife had a press secretary. The press secretary had a daughter who when the Shah was deposed moved with her mother to America, became a lawyer in Boston, became a fan of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, became a girlfriend of the guitar player, and they were married in a redwood grove last year near SanFrancisco where she had moved to continue her lawyering, waiting for Jason to finish the U of O (No law jobs in Eugene). Last November they presented us with a beautiful new granddaughter for whom Jason has become a stay at home dad where he teaches guitar to a few and has time for his job with the Magatones.

And he is far less circumscribed than he was with the daddies.
