Ok ladies I've got some super exciting news - my dear darling hubby was just called by AMERICAS GOT TALENT!!!! We went to Tampa in Nov. for auditions and we were so excited that he got past the prelim producers and all the way to the top producers, but then it was hurry up and wait, wellllll last night a producer from AGT called the house and spoke to Jonathan and asked him if he would be interest in being on the t.v. show!!! He's so excited (me too)We won't get a final commitment until end of Feb or early March but it is still so exciting. Anybody interested can check him out on youtube.com just type in jebwarejazz and his videos will come up. Also the producer said that he was the best he's seen in the 5 years he's been with the show! wheeeeeee. They talked for almost 45 minutes, keep your fingers crossed for us. If he were to win it would be a prize of ONE MILLION DOLLARS! We don't think he'll get that far, but maybe far enought to get a contract for something somewhere. Who knows, keep your fingers crossed for us. I'm so excited for him.......

What execiting news ! Pls keep us all updated ! My husband -who is a keyboard player too- would like to know the name of the machine he's playing on ? By the way, did he wrote the music himself ?

The upper keyboard is a Tyros2 by Yamaha and the lower keyboard is a Hammond B3, and no Joe Jackson wrote the music which is 'Steppin Out', on his youtube slot the song 'contemplations' he did write.

I can see you support him 100% as well you should. He plays like the music for movies! Very Professional, I'd say. Don't say he may not get that far, he has just as good a chance as any, and if the judges have half an ear...who knows, hubby might get you a new emb machine when he wins all that dough!haha Best wishes to you both and as they say, "Break a leg"-Toogie.....p.s. What IS that he plays with his feet????

It's called the pedalboard and is the lower register of the organ.(the bass sound).

bikermomfl by bikermomfl 29 Jan 2012

yep your right, they call em bass pedals, he put together this set up with a Roland for the upper keyboard, a Hammond B3 for the bottom keyboard and his bass pedals that came from Canada. Would you believe he can't dance! (giggle)
