T2C: What has this time stopped you from accomplishing?
Jon Hammond: I’m a long-time performer in nursing homes & hospitals, we can no longer deliver the music, and I had annual gigs in Europe canceled for first time in over 30 years.
T2C: If you were to equate this time to a song or song cycle what would it be?
Jon Hammond: I wrote a song some years ago to play in annual San Francisco County Jail gig, it is entitled: “Soon I Will Be Free” – sort of apropos during this time as we are waiting out a lot of things.

Hammond Report June 3 2020 from Pandemic Quarantino Jon Hammond - my daily check in folks, original music and stories from the old organ grinder accordion squeezer!
Today's music and stories start in good old Kimball's East in Emeryville CA, live recording of my band back in Oct. 11th of 1998 after I returned from living in Europe. With the help of my friend Scott Rootenberg we brought Bernard Purdie out from New Jersey - I played 2 nights, this one in Kimball's and Scott's Club The Cocodrie in North Beach SF - my tune "Hip Hop Chitlins" aka Nu Funk with Barry Finnerty in the string section and Bennett Friedman t.s. - then a 1981 recording I did for DTI Records of my tune "Get Back In The Groove" with Frank Biner on vocals and guitar and yours truly at the B3 organ and covering the bass as well. Stay safe out there everybody, a change is gonna' come!!
