It was Saturday afternoon. The day of Sarahs in Nashville. Sara Watkins, Sarah Borges, Sarah Jarosz. I'm sure that Jessie had booked it this way just to confuse the crew. Now we were stuck having to use complete names! That just isn't normal video/audio crew conduct. We like to dumb it down. Use abbreviations or code words. Putting a number on a name just sucks. We like to be presidential. We like to use words like "Eagle" and "Mother Goose." But there was no having that today...today we would learn everybody's first and last names. Today the Music Fog crew would have to sink or swim with everybody's actual name! This was alien to us.
I don't think that Sarah Jarosz is a stage name. Not like Elliott BROOD. (But Aaron did bid hello to "Elliott" when one of them stepped onto the bus.) Nope, Sarah hasn't changed hers to some kind of alias. But she might be considering doing that after having been stuck on a bus recording with this crew. If I were to pick a security type name for Sarah it would be "Phantom." Because that's what her voice sounds like...a phantom voice. Not evil spirit phantom. Good phantom. The kind of phantom that movies would have fly into your window at night and take you away to somewhere you could only dream of. A kind of place where french fries are good for you.
Thank you Sarah Jarosz. I'm going to eat french fries in your honor today.
