Joyoyoy

Greetings from Oakland!

So, I had the strangest thing happen the other night while playing a gig in Oakland at The Nomad Café.

I was playing the first song of my set, which just so happened to be a brand new tune called "Joy". Two of the ladies in the audience were laughing hysterically throughout the song and it made me happy that they were taking so much enjoyment out of the tune. Now, before I continue with the rest of this little ditty of a story, here, have a listen to the song (yes, it is integral to the tale):







I complete the song and everyone goes bonkers in the room. The two girls that were especially taken by the tune announce that their names are both Joy and that they really enjoyed the song I wrote about them. I come to find out later that these two lovely young ladies are friends of my tour mate Sas. After completing our show at the Nomad Café, one of the Joys invites Sas and I back to her pad to enjoy a beer with her and her husband. Sas and I hop into our ride and follow Joy back to her place. As we tail her through the streets of Oakland on route to her home, I can't help but notice Joy's license plate:

Coincidence?
