This announcement really pleases me. One of my favorite singer\/ songwriters, the one and only JANIS IAN, will be visiting Santa Fe later this month, and performing two shows at the Jean Cocteau.<\/p>\n
Janis is a science fiction and fantasy fan, writer, and editor. I met her at the Philadelphia worldcon a decade and a half ago, and I’ve had the pleasure of hanging with her at a dozen subsequent worldcons. She’s always great company. <\/p>\n
I knew her songs decades before I met the singer, though. I had… have… her albums. (Albums… there were large discs made of vinyl, with music on them. You played them on this thing called a turntable. We still have one of those as well). If you’re my age, you know her hits: Jesse, Society’s Child, Between the Lines, Boots Like Emmy Lou’s, When the Party’s Over, Watercolors (a personal favorite)… there are so many… and of course, At Seventeen. <\/p>\n

I’ve wanted to have Janis perform at the Cocteau ever since I reopened the place, and I am thrilled that it is finally going to happen.<\/p>\n
She will be doing two shows, on the evenings of Sunday, February 22, and Monday, February 23. I expect both shows to sell out, so get your tickets now:<\/p>\n

You can also call the theatre (during business hours) at 505-466-5528 and purchase tickets over the phone. Please be sure to have your credit card details on hand.<\/p>\n
We will also have Janis’s CDs on sale, as well as copies of her autobiography (she has led a pretty interesting life), and I know she’ll be glad to sign them all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
