here is the part of the interview about Jon meeting Boby
'You were also a part of Jon Bon Jovi's band during the "Destination Anywhere" album.'
I know there are a lot of Jukes fans that would love to hear how that came about.
Jon was always a big fan of Southside's. And over the years, he's come up and jammed with us when he wasn't on tour. He'd be hanging out at home with nothing to do, and say, "You mind if I come up tonight?" When you come off tour, you're kinda antsy, because you're not getting up the next morning at seven o'clock to make the next gig. You just don't get up the next morning. You get up sometime early afternoon. But when you do get up, your energy level is a little bit off kilter and you don't know what to do with yourself. So the first thing you think of is - who's around, I'll go out and play. And that's what happened to Jon. In fact the first time I met him was at the (Garden State) Arts Center. He had just come off tour and somehow he had met Willie Nelson. And Willie Nelson gave him a leather cowboy hat. And he had it on when he came on stage with us, and Southside proceeded to look at it while they were both out on stage, and flung it in the audience and it was goodbye to the Willie Nelson hat. Jon was like, "hey, my hat." And that's where I met Jon. After that, a couple years later, right after one of his tours, like I said, he was antsy and he called me up and said, "What are you guys doing for the next couple of weeks?" So I said, "We're in a couple of vans, and we're going to be doing about two to three weeks of dates between Philadelphia and Massachusetts." And he said, "Can I come?" So I said, "In the van?!" He said, "yea." and I told him, "But you'd have to room with me!" He said, "Well, I don't want to room with you but..." Nobody wants to room with me! So, anyway, he did. He came out and he had a great time, just being a Juke. And then when he finally thought that he was going to give his band a rest for a while, he figured he'd do a solo record in the meantime. I lived fifteen minutes away from him. And I'm sure because of his experience with being out with us, he thought of me to come and play some guitar on it. And the record came out great and it was fun. to be included and it was nice that he thought of me to play on the record. Jon's very dedicated and very focused on what he does with his music and pretty much with his life. You learn a lot from being around somebody like that. As is Bruce, as is Steven (Van Zandt). You look at these guys and their intensity as far as their focus on what they do. It comes out in the end as being obvious that their that intense about what they do. It's always fun to work with people like that. And it was fun to take a little bit of that and try and utilize some of that in my own work.
