I've done three podcasts with Jethro Easyfields now, and booked him a couple of times for various gigs. He remains one of my favorite personalities in the local scene, is always extremely easy and generous to work with, and easily gets my vote for top five most-fun people to hang out with in the local music scene. To call him a "character" might be an understatement -- he's more like a "force." If you know him, you almost hang on his every word, knowing that about half of what he says (or is it simply the way he says it) is going to come out like some quotable line of poetry. If you haven't met him, well then I definitely want to be the one to introduce you. Some of my favorite stories start with, "Remember when I introduced you to Jethro?"
