The era of wintips, classic cars, and fountain drinks~the good 'ol days

This guy is the genuine article and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Debonair and dapperly dressed,with slick hair and a pressed western shirt , Jason hails like a hepcat from Memphis that looks as if he would be comfortable in a tricked out Cadillac.
Utilizing an old fashioned chrome microphone ,an antique piano, and a semi hollow Gibson ES,Jason croons while effortlessly finessing the piano like a woman he is trying to seduce.

With a flair for showmanship, Jason tilted his head back, thumped on the keys, and frantically slid his fingers with a flourish of controlled chaos.

By the time he finished the third set, I thought he would encore by lighting the piano on fire.Genre bending,powerful,and irresistible, Jason has a standing solo gig at Nick's every Sunday.
