"Who's Jono Manson?" a drunken Nightengale's patron asks. "The fact that
you need to ask" wisecracks John Popper, "means that you must drink
heavily."
Jono Manson was and is the frontman for quite a few lesser-known outfits
over the last two decades. It wasn't so much his singing and guitar work
that he was known for (although in the opinion of this fan these are of
equal standing) as it was his endless ability to work a crowd and keep
them enthralled over the course of a concert. He took Blues Traveler and
many other NYC-area artists under his tutelage and is generally regarded
as the Godfather of the New York City music scene.
