Little Brother Jimmy


Chip Taylor brought his charming show to the Narrows Thursday night, featuring guitarist John Platania (you heard his guitar on Van Morrison's "Moondance") and fiddler Kendel Carson.

His new CD Yonkers NY tells of growing up with two older brothers, actor Jon Voight and geologist Barry Voight, with a golf pro dad who thrilled his sons with stories of his supposed life as an undercover FBI agent.

Chip, whose given name is James Wesley Voight, is best known for composing "Wild Thing" a hit for The Troggs and covered by Jimi Henrix (and others), and "Angel of the Morning," a hit for Merrilee Rush and Juice Newton.

Local fave, singer guitarist Louie Leeman, opened.
