JM: The Jesse Dayton track is fantastic. Thank you. I'm so glad you like it. That's
actually a cover of an Irma Thomas song.

BiTS: Is it really? I didn't know that.

JM: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Irma Thomas.

BiTS: Jesse Dayton is making quite a name for himself at the
moment.

JM: He's doing quite well. He's a label mate at this moment
and yeah, he's a very, very strong player, very strong and a
great guy.

BiTS: Did these people, Sue
Foley and Joe Bona-
massa as well, come into

the studio, or did they, as
they put it, send it in by
telephone these days?

JM: Well, you know it's hard to hit a moving
target. Both of those, all three of those guitar
players, really, Jesse, Sue Foley and Joe. First of

all, they're all friends. Secondly, yeah, hard to hit a
moving target. So in Sue’s case, we sent her the track
almost finished, and she did an overdub while she was

on, I don't know, a three or a four-day break from
touring. She was home in Austin. And then Joe actually
did come into the studio in LA when he literally had a

three-day break from tour in New York, and he flew in,
came to the studio, did the track and then went back out

on tour.

BiTS: It’s nice to know that people will do that for you
though, isn't it?

JM: It's very gracious. I'm very, very grateful.

BiTS: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Do you have a
favourite track on the album at all, Janiva?

JM: You know Ian, it changes and answering that
question is a little bit like choosing a favourite child if
you have more than one.

BiTS: Yeah. You're not the first person who’s
said that to me.
