About this listen

Book of Jude, Season One, is a series of discussions between myself, singer, songwriter - Jude Johnstone, and my daughter, 28 year old singer, songwriter - Ray Duncan, about the songs, stories, thoughts and experiences from my many years in the music business. We start from the beginning, growing up in Maine, playing in a top forty band, meeting Clarence Clemons on a plane, spending time in NYC and New Jersey under his wing, attending the famous No Nukes concerts at Madison Square Garden, watching Bruce Springsteen record "The River", and then moving to Los Angeles in 1979. From there we delve into making demos, playing clubs, singing backup vocals, signing my first publishing deal, and getting my first songs covered by well known artists. Ray asks me questions about how each of those early experiences educated and shaped me. We also touch on some of the mistakes I made and what I would have done differently now. We discuss my choice to eventually leave LA for the Central Coast of CA to raise a family, while releasing 8 albums, touring Europe, opening shows for some of my heroes and finally moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 2015.
Book of Jude, Season Two, is myself and Ray interviewing other artists that I have
worked with or known for many years, and may have talked about in Season One.
We have some very exciting guests to come. Stay tuned.

    On Season Two, episode 3 of Book of Jude, we will be speaking to the great composer David Amram about his incredible career and music and philosophy and everything else that comes up. I put a long segment of his music from The Manchurian Candidate in the front and a live performance with his trio of work from Splendor in the Grass at the back of the interview with nothing in between only because his conversation with us was so captivating to both me and Ray that we wanted our audience to hear what was on his mind while we had the chance. You can find much of David's music and live performances on YouTube, which I hope you will do after hearing this interview. He is a true Renaissance man.
