Fun with Jesus
Written by Jimmy
Okay. This won’t win a lot of PC buttons, but we’ve been having a lot of fun with Jesus at the studio. A couple examples:
- The Allen family disappeared over Easter weekend to spend time with family in Washington DC. Sadly, we had forgotten to tell our new Abubilla Assistant, Jesus, that the studio was closed. He showed up promptly at 0900 AM on Saturday before Easter to be confronted by our lovely house sitter. Our text dialogue went as follows:
Martina in London: Guess what happened this morning. I was greeted by Jesus ready to sing in the studio?
Jimmy in DC: That’s pretty special, to be visited by Jesus the day before Easter. An Advanced Showing?
Martina in London: And I turned Jesus away.
Jimmy in DC: You’ve got a lot of good to do to make up for that one.
Martina in London: In my defense, he was shorter than I expected. And he couldn’t even shave.
Jimmy in DC: Please read about doubting Thomas.
- Well the fun increased considerably when we decided to do a video of Chris performing Jerusalem – the crowd had loved it at the Leon Gig so we needed to indulge his fans. Jesus and Rob joined him in the video. We had no shortage of comments from folks asking whether Jesus enjoyed Jerusalem! Here’s the video:
- And finally, during the Half Moon Gig on the 29th, Jesus had a little problem with his shakers. This led to a number of folks talking about “Did you see Jesus break his shaker half way through Jersusalem?’ Can’t make this stuff up.
