Set in Chicago's Wicker Park and rural Michigan, Jethro is an old-fashioned story told in modern language about love, music, and finding one's real voice. "I first met Jethro at The Hide-Out, which is a Chicago bar that looks like an old roadhouse dropped down into a post-industrial landscape . It was a fluky April Fool's Day with a temperature of about eighty and spring was coming in with a vengeance, all beneath a moon so huge and orange yellow it seemed surreal. You knew that with so many elements conspiring something strange was bound to happen, that even once the temperature went back to normal and the moon began to shrink, you and your life would have changed course and you simply would not be the same." (From Jethro)
