IT’S ALL HAPPENING AT ANTONES!

I am proud to present the first public appearance ofย JANIS. She is a very magical lamp, named for, of course Janis Joplin. ย “I loved her style and her laugh. She loved theย outlandish and was larger than life.” This was written by her designer Ruth Ellsworth Carter. I think it is fitting to debut this work of art at Antone’s Home of The Blues where another work of Ruth’s found it’s first home. The co-write between Ruth and her husband Bill Carter for Stevie Rayย Vaughan Crossfireย went on to become a world-wide hit and Billboard #1 single for Stevie and his band Double Trouble (Chris Layton,ย Tommy Shannon,ย Reese Wynans).

I think most music, pop culture and fashion fans would agree, Janis and Prince share a lot in the additions they made to the wonderful world of rock and roll and I could not think of a better place to show off this lamp! She is for sale for $2000 if you just can’t help yourself.
