In the book “Records Truly Is My Middle Name“, John tells the story of his trip down to Dallas to record a song with the Jefferson Starship. The story ends with John driving around with Paul Kantner, and Kantner handing him a “cigarette” that he warns is pretty strong.
Kantner was telling the truth.
At the time the song “Jane” by the Jefferson Starship was a huge hit, and the mayor of Chicago just happened to be named “Jane”. So John re-wrote the words to the Starship song, and got the producer of the Starship to record him singing it…to the original track by the actual Jefferson Starship.
If that didn’t make it on the CD, what did? Only some of the most memorable interviews, bits, and songs of Landecker’s career. You can see the track list below…
“Records Truly Is My Middle Name (The Soundtrack)” is available right here at Eckhartz Press. It’s being sold as a fundraiser for The Chicago Lighthouse, which does great work for visually impaired and blind people. John’s father was blind, so it’s a charity he deeply believes in and supports.
And by the way, the CD is a perfect stocking stuffer for the Landecker fan in your family, and it’s only $11.99.
