If we are going be here all day, First, Jackson came onstage to introduce Steve Noonan, please teach us well. We should have been learning how who started with: “Leaning Back and Laughing” and eventu - to expand our horizons but sadly that was not what ally more musician friends and singers came to lend a hand authority figures wanted for us in the ‘60s: yeah, this with “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” and a number of other experience was called high school. I personally believe emotionally charged songs. both of my daughters had exceptional schooling here in Steve showed why he is held in such high esteem as a song - Fullerton, so things have evolved and trailblazers from writer, vocalist, and guitar player, as did fellow singer/song - back then deserve at least some of the credit. writer Greg Copeland and Greg Leisz who is appropriately A number of female fans could not stay in their Imagine sitting in your bedroom at the young age of known as one of the best lap steel and pedal steel players in seats and soon they crowded the stage to get a good 16 with this playing in your head... the world. To experience the four of them on stage at once look at their hero. When a lone guy finally showed was a highlight of an unforgettable evening. “I’ll keep on moving up, Jackson thanked him and many more of us Jackson Browne performed solo, alternated between Things are bound to be improving these days ‘dudes’ headed down too. The musicianship, the numerous acoustic guitars and the piano, mixed it up with These days - vocals, the stage presence were all there in huge the other musicians, and was happy to share the spotlight These days I sit on corner stones amounts and I can tell you this, I ran into many throughout the night.

This was one of into “The Pretender”, “Running On Empty”, “Take It I have not forgotten them” those concerts that will be recalled for many years Easy/Our Lady” and “Doctor My Eyes.” Faithful versions of starting with the words “I was there that night when” “These Days” -Jackson Browne these familiar favorites were delivered with high energy and etc. rocked the house. THE PURPOSE Flashback to high school again, since that was the beginning of these friendships and the reason this benefit took place. Everyone from B to Z (Browne to Zappa) had trouble back then. In fact, back then, one could be drafted but voting was out of the question. Missing a haircut was tantamount to committing a crime. Playing in a band, writing music, strumming a guitar? Grow up. Cut your hair. Get a job. Interesting that the all-grown-up Jackson Browne is still considered ‘youthful’ today yet he was wise beyond his years even while at Sunny Hills High. Jackson certainly has not forgotten his friends, as Thursday’s benefit concert for and with fellow stu - dent Steve Noonan proved. The benefit also helped out another friend from the past, The Fox Fullerton. As an overflow crowd took in the sights and sounds of Jackson and Steve, plus two more Lancers Greg Copeland and Greg Leisz, (whom Jackson met after high school), many in attendance must have been thinking back to those days. Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be? That’s OK, this was also about the present and the future. The future of Steve Noonan and the future of the Fox. “Musicians are always the last to have insurance, and the first to need some help!” Jackson said with an ironic chuckle. “The motivation is that Steve had some medical bills to pay- it’s good to put things like this together that benefit the community.” He went on to talk about the Fox Fullerton Theatre and why that was also a big part of his motivation for the benefit. “There was another friend of ours, Chuck Estes, who lead the effort to save it. I did not take part in the beginning and I have always regretted that I was so busy at the time. In the absence of a commu - nity that wants to preserve it, it was going to be torn down. These theaters are worth saving, I play a lot of them and you wind up with a really nice place for local gigs.” Steve Noonan told us, “I remember going to the Fox a lot. I don’t remember too many of the movies- I was busy doing other things. I remember the bal - cony!” (laughter) Steve also laughed when I asked him last Wednesday night, while playing at his monthly Bourbon Street gig, if he was going to play his most famous composition: “Buy For Me The Rain” on Thursday and take credit for ending our drought. He did play it and see what happened?! Jackson Browne obviously had a great time playing with and needling his friends. In a reflective moment he told me “These guys were willing to put up with me and let me hang around when I was 15. I owe them a lot.” The four amigos revisited the songwriting they did and the misadventures they had together, pulled other friends back to fill the stage with great musicians and singers, and Jackson planted the seed for a return. “Maybe we can do a show at the Fox when it is up and running again.” With his help, and yours, that is a very strong possibility.
