Love Song...

Must be the rare spring weather in January here on the bay! Two posts in one day. It's 73 degrees and the sap is rising.

Just knew that those of you who have joined me for today's ride in the Gypsy Queen Cab would want to know about the recent release of a wonderful film, A Love Song for Bobby Long, based on Fairhope author Everett Capp's novel Off Magazine Street (MacAdam/Cage Publishing ) and featuring the sensational songs of Capp's son Grayson Capps who is not only easy on the eyes, but plays a heartbreaking blues guitar. Grayson lives in New Orleans where the film was shot; and, his father hides out on the edge of a swamp near Fairhope.

John Travolta stars in A Love Song for Bobby Long, along with Golden Globe nominee Scarlett Johansson. Grayson taught Travolta to play blues guitar for the movie, and it's Grayson's songs that headline and punctuate the film.

I found Off Magazine Street reminiscent of Bukowski, and I'd be interested to know if any of you folks out there waiting on the Gypsy Queen share my thoughts.
