PM: It must be exciting after two really good self-released records that Blue Alert is coming out on Columbia Legacy, right? ANJANI: It is. Oh, my gosh, I don't know what to say about it. It's a miracle, really. PM: It's totally cool. I certainly enjoyed the bonus DVD that came with the advance copy. That seemed to be an indication they were going to put a little elbow grease behind the record, right? ANJANI: Right, right. Yeah, they are. PM: I mean, that's how it looks and feels. They're going to get out there and do something, right? ANJANI: Yeah. PM: Amazing. ANJANI: It's amazing in-- PM: In this day and age. [laughter] ANJANI: Considering the state they're in. PM: Oh, yeah, they're all scrambling. ANJANI: Yeah, they really are. PM: Isn't there also a 40th anniversary afoot of Leonard's debut? ANJANI: Yes. PM: And they're putting out his first three records again? ANJANI: Uh-huh. PM: So there's got to be some good cross-promotional opportunities there, right? ANJANI: Yeah, yeah. They'll be doing that as well, exactly. PM: Well, that's lovely timing. I applaud you there. So are there plans, then, to tour behind Blue Alert, or will you tour with Leonard, or both? ANJANI: Yes. I'm doing a little kind of mini-tour. The first of the spring I'll be doing New York and Chicago, Montreal, Toronto, L.A., and San Francisco. PM: Just all the hip cities. We won't get to see you in Nashville. [laughter] ANJANI: Is that where you're located? PM: In Nashville. ANJANI: In Nashville! Oh, God, we love Nashville. PM: It's fun. But a lot of people won't come here to play. ANJANI: Leonard used to live there, you know. PM: Really? ANJANI: Yeah, yeah. He rented a farm from somebody. PM: Out in Franklin probably. ANJANI: Yeah, he was there for a year or more. PM: When was that? ANJANI: Boy that was in the '80s--'70s or '80s. PM: Pre-Zen period or-- ANJANI: Oh, yeah, definitely. PM: Wow. ANJANI: But no, we won't be coming to Nashville for the moment. Chicago is the closest thing to the Midwest. PM: Right. But all the nice cities--Toronto and San Francisco and New York. That's beautiful. ANJANI: And then I'll be going to Europe in the summer. print (pdf) listen to clips puremusic home
