| About You: | My most frequently asked question: what's "llesi" and how do you
pronounce it?
Llesi is pronounced "Jessi" and is a funky Mexican phonetic spelling
of Jessi (from Jessica--Mexicans pronounce the double "L" like j),
which is what all my Mexican friends call me (but if you're
American please don't call me Jessi--Jess is fine, or Jessica, but
not Jessi!!).
I first found Fruvous in August of 1995 at the Philadelphia Folk
Festival (of which my dad is the Chairman, so you'll hear me
promote it from time to time!)--which makes this year's Festival
my SEVEN-year Fruvous anniversary! I of course loved them at
first (live) listen, but "Fly" was what made me say "I must own
these guys!!" (Meaning their recorded music, of course, not
actually OWN them...!) I've done a bit of Frutripping in those 7
years, the farthest being to Toronto to the first FruCon, though I've
mostly seen them in the PA/NY/NJ/DE/DC/MD area. Two favorite
shows were probably when I saw them on my birthday (Oct. 12) in
Herndon, VA, in 1997, and when I did the four nights in a row deal
in Nov. 1998 (Thurs, in Phila, Fri-Sun. at the Mercury Lounge in
NYC)...I was a groupie at age 28...oy vey...! |
