Clinton Heylin:"Bob Dylan: Behind The Shades, a Biography"
lilysazz@hookup.net (Lily Sazz):
Lanois was born in Quebec, but his family moved to Ancaster Ontario when he
was a boy. Ancaster is adjacent to my town, Hamilton, Ontario. I'm familiar
with his whole family: Brother Ron is a successful chef with a Cajun style
restaurant here. He has cooked in New Orleans for some of Dan's sessions, such
as The Neville Brothers, and Bob Dylan as well, I believe. Bob is now into
producing videos among other creative things, and lives near here in a log
cabin that he built himself. Jocelyn bounces between New York and Hamilton,
she's a former Martha and The Muffins member, and former Crash Vegas member.
It was through Jocelyn and Dan that I had the opportunity to piano coach
Bridget Fonda for her role as a musician in the movie Camilla, which Dan wrote
the soundtrack for. This movie has been released in Canada, but won't be out
in the states until January 20th or so.
Producer of "Oh Mercy" and "Time Out Of Mind"
