"Michael Jackson's NEW record," she told my dad. she was completely deflated when he brought home a copy of Off The Wall (of course the stores were sold out.) she knew it wasn't the right one, still he made me go through the process of spinning it to verify that there were absolutely no recognizable songs on it. (at least not to my sister or me. just mom singing along to "Rock With You") I remember waking up early before school so I could make a cassette dub of Thriller, both sides, to listen to in my walkman. I remember crowding around the TV for the debut of the Thriller music video "directed by John Landis" when it premiered on MTV. full-scale major television event at my house. Motown 25 was my Beatles on Ed Sullivan. the moonwalk changed the dance floor forever. had to have the white glove. I remember when Michael came to the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan. the airport he flew in and out of was 2 miles from my house. I remember his plane. or at least the one I imagined to be his. I remember Bad. "Gone Too Soon." I remember thinking he fucked up by snaking McCartney for the Beatles catalogue. maybe the last 18 years of his career was merely a testament to bad Karma. I don't know. Michael was something, either way. he had more than an impact on me and my generation. he will hold his own place in the history of the human experience, on par with very few. thank you Michael. may your rest be peaceful. cheers! [ 6.19.2009 ] Tony recently had the great pleasure of sharing some time with the very talented Melissa Polinar.

[ 6.09.2009 ] Tony Lucca, seen here performing his song "Undertow" at a very warm LeStats in San Diego, CA on May 1st, 2009. Directed and edited by Josh Franer. [ 6.02.2009 ] wow. so today feels like my first full day OFF in over a month. had some down time on the road but to actually be home with nowhere to be but, well, home, makes for a rather enjoyable deep breath. it's been sort of surreal, these past few days especially. after a four week tour with Joey DeGraw and Andrew Hoover (www.myspace.com/andrewhoovermusic), making our way to the Isle Of Palms to spend the weekend with the boys from Sister Hazel was a real sweet way to wrap up what was otherwise already a rather successful little run. finally got to meet Gareth Asher. (www.myspace.com/garethasher) we actually got a kick out of just how much we resemble each other. he's a pretty good lookin' dude. just sayin'. Saturday we got to attend a private (V.I.P.) show: Sister Hazel performing Fleetwood Mac's Rumors album in its entirety. holy crap was it bad ass! man, those fellas can sing. and play. wow. Saturday night was the second of two nights that I had the fortune of opening for them. it was quite a half hour set. I brought Andrew up for a lovely rendition of Otis' "These Arms Of Mine" and was surprised to learn that Ken Block was secretly a fan of me and Firstman's "Pretty Things." so much so that he had the lyrics printed out and asked to sit in. what a trip. he sang the first verse and we harmonized the choruses together. such a blast. they had me return the favor by getting up to sing the classic "Bring It On Home" with them in their set. I honestly haven't had that much fun on stage in awhile. what a night. had to fly out at 6:10 a.m. the next morning which meant no sleep til I got on the plane. slept the whole first leg of the flight to Atlanta and then halfway back to LA. last night was like icing on the frickin' cake though. I had the pleasure of helping put together a wonderful night of music at the Hotel Cafe raising funds for a local LA Charter School. it was a "who's who" of Hotel Cafe regulars. from Joey Ryan, along with Jay Nash, Chris Seefried and the Lowstars to Tim Jones, Rob Giles (of Truth & Salvage Co. and The Rescues, respectively.) the 3 of us did a set of each other's songs, sort of in the round. then of course, the lovely and talented Sara Bareilles came up and raised the bar yet again with her soaring vocals and brilliant songs. it really was a treat to hear a sold out Hotel Cafe singing along with one of their own as she proudly performed "Love Song." she was also kind enough to have me come up and sit in with her, revisiting the duet rendition of Bruce's "I'm On Fire" that we had hashed out on tour earlier this year. Brendan James played a fantastic set, followed by the mighty Chris Pierce before the night was taken over by the some of the Hotel's most storied performers; Meiko, Jim Bianco and Brian Wright. some unbelievable music, truly unforgettable performances and one hell of a fundraiser in the end. the silent auction was a whole 'nother thing altogether. I mean they had an Epiphone Les Paul autographed by the Jonas Brothers for crying out loud! tickets to a dress rehearsal of SNL, Guitar Hero, Dodgers tickets, acting lessons, you name it! the best part is they were able to sell off every last item! I mean really, it could NOT have gone better. a HUGE thank you to everyone that's been tuning in these past several months. those of you who have been attending the shows, driving countless miles, spending hard earned money to get there, be there and then support the music by picking up copies of the latest records. everyone who's been spreading the word and inviting friends out to shows, passing along links to all the countless youtube clips and audio streams. I'm telling you, it all adds up and the effects are exponential. believe me, I see them daily and I couldn't be more grateful. I get to take a few weeks off but I'll be back up and running in July so do check out the latest tour dates posted and keep checking in often because they tend to change and or get added frequently. I hope June finds you all well and smiling about something soon.
