Jason is John Prine's longtime accompanying guitar player.If you got the Sessions at 54th Street DVD he's on that.

DVR is set.  Tempted to stay up.  Loved seeing "Yim Yames" on the Comcast menu description for tonight's Letterman.

[Ruckus]

What a combo. Cool watching Prine watch James belt it out. The album should be great...

Could somebody post a link of the performance because all I had was a Digital tuner and I had a bad signal and missed out. Thanks.

edit: did anyone else see that cbs news anchor totally butcher yim's name?  she was laughing (guess she thinks it's a silly name, can't understand why  ;)) & called him "yim yams".  but as the show was wrapping up you could hear the male anchor say something like, "it's yim YAMES" before the sound cut out.  hahaha

i know!  for shame!!!  i actually said, "you idiot.  it's yames." out loud.  and i was watching it by myself  ;D

rickles was hilarious.  that dude's still razor sharp.  quick, witty & had the best facial expressions.  i was giggling throughout.

That was fantastic. So much better than I expected even. No glowsticks thrown at JJ either!

I cracked up when Letterman went to greet them after the song and shook JJ's hand and spoke a slightly raised and sarcastic voice "YIM.."

I couldn't care less about JJ becoming YY, but I think he/his music gets taken less seriously from people who never heard of him/MMJ or casual fans, which is a shame. Maybe he should go back to JJ  :-/
