20s, and it's one of those orange and black old school posters. It's exquisite. It's in
a frame.

BiTS: That's absolutely wonderful. What a great story. Janiva, it's years, I think 2019,

maybe 17 that you last came to the UK. When are you coming back?

JM: Well, I'm actually coming back in September, but not for work. My husband is
from the UK and we're making a family trip. We’re going to go see his folks. Going
to go and see the in-laws. Have a visit, and unfortunately, there's no work involved.

But I would love to come back and do some shows there. I really, really, really would.

BiTS: I think we'd love to see you. I'm going to be playing this new album of yours
on my radio shows very regularly

BiTS: Okay, let's just move on very slightly. You've just published one album. How
soon do you think you're going to be thinking about a new one, or are you already?

JM: The answer is B. Already am and here's why. I actually recorded two albums

last year. I did “Back For Me”, and I also did a live recording with my regular touring
band, sort of a retrospective of some of the, I hate to
use the term greatest hits, but it's kind of like that
[chuckles]. So we'll be releasing that, I don't know,

I just started. Last week I just called the fellows over
at the record company and I said, hey, so what are
we doing with the live album and when? So I'll be

talking with them this week about the rollout on that
and getting it mastered, mixing and mastering that
live album.

So we did it with Bob Clearmountain (left). You may

be familiar with him. If you're not it’d be good to like
just pop his name in Google. He's a wonderful producer, engineer, mixing master.
Very, very renowned and he has a studio in Santa Monica that has a small theatre

in it, capacity like 150 people. So we packed in 150 people and did a live show, and
he tracked it right there at the studio. So I’m really, really looking forward to that
one coming out. But I don't know when that's happening, so stay tuned.

BiTS: It sounds absolutely wonderful. I'm really looking forward to that to say the
very least. Listen, I'm not going to take any more of your time. Thank you very much
indeed for, I guess, getting up pretty early for me so that we can have a little chat

and thank you very much indeed for doing this.

JM: No problem. I appreciate it, Ian. I appreciate your support, I really mean that.
Be sure to let me know when this is published and send me some links and I'll get
them out on the socials, so people will know..
