I was able to chat with hip via Facebook in the last few months of his life about our shared experience with the Carl Perkins. Of course, Evan open gigs with Carl back in the day. I was just a young impressionable fan of both. A few of my buds were close to Evan since they went to same high school in NOVA. All that has changed now and the DC area is like a big wave has washed over the place. Tommy Keene's song "Place That Are Gone" is really appropriate there now. I do miss all the live music the area once had, especially in Georgetown, where all in one night, a guy with a little bit of cash could see hot local bands and national groups playing in as many as 3 venues within walking distance along M Street and Wisconsin Ave. I had been away for 10 years, and when I came back in 2010, I found that the Bayou is now a TD Bank Building, and there is a multiplex movieplex in the same block. There is also now a waterfront park with a really nice fountain, with families hanging out there. The place seems pretty upscale now, but back in the day it was the best hippie dive that could be, without going all the way to San Francisco! Peace, Out....

RIP Evan Johns
I still miss Evan Johns. It has been a few months since his sad passing in Austin, TX.
