video blog: Pleasantly Surprised

This is the first in a short series of interviews/video blogs Jon and I put together during the Thanksgiving jam.

Here, Jon discusses some of the inspiration behind the songs from Pleasantly Surprised, released in 1995, including insight into the songs Six Inches and Snowman Ring (and others). Enjoy!

It's a good thing he was so shy and could channel all that pent up stuff into such an awesome outlet. I remember at the time people (probably, mostly Jon S.) telling me that certain songs that Jon T. had written were about me and it always seemed like such a strange paradox that he could be so petrified to talk to me face to face but at the same time could get up in front of a crowded room with me in the middle of it and sing about his innermost thoughts/feelings. It still baffles me.
