    I remember perfectly, It was on the Stephen Colbert Show, a bit in which Stephen goes to New Orleans to meet Jon and his family. In one scene they are walking down the street, Jon has his Melodica, a homeless man comes along, Jons face lights up and starts playing a soulful tune, the homeless man is dirty and wearing a torn down dress but he has a tamborin in his hand, they jam together. For a moment that burn-out guy is no longer a mental health victim or a lifetime of bad decisions, he is a human being. I realized then the true power of music.
    Thank you Jon. Stay human!

    Lyrics
    We done a lot of living
    We working overtime
    Don't need another million
    You got that goldmine
    I love the way you're livin'
    'Cause you so genuine
    You got that something special
    Didn't you know?
    I just need you, you, you
    Met you when I was a lil' nappy head boy
    And I never put down my alto saxophone, yeah
    Buckjumpin' down on the boulevard
    I couldn't wait to blow my own horn (woo!)
    It ain't wrong for you to play along
    Playing this song 'til you die, come on, come on
    In this world with a lot of problems
    All we need is a little loving
    Thank you, thank you, oh, you make me
    Thank you, thank you for your love
    We done a lot of living
    We working overtime
    Don't need another million
    You got that goldmine
    I love the way you're livin' (hey)
    'Cause you're so genuine (genuine)
    You got that something special
    Didn't you know?
    I just need you, you, you (come on, now!)
    Met you when I was a lil' country boy
    And I never put down that pork chop and salt
    Then we fell in love on the boulevard
    If you was Jenny, I guess I was Forrest (run!)
    Nah, it ain't wrong for you to sing along
    Singing this song 'til you die
    In this world with a lot of problems
    All we need is a little loving
    Thank you, thank you, oh, you make me
    Thank you, thank you for your love
    We done a lot of living (whole lotta)
    We working overtime (overtime)
    Don't need another million
    You got that goldmine (goldmine)
    I love the way you're livin'
    'Cause you're so genuine (genuine)
    You got that something special
    Didn't you know?

    As masterful as he is with jazz, this was a wonderful surprise. Filled to the brim with that marvelous, effervescent, positive energy that helped me get through rough patches of quarantine.

    He started looking nerdy and ended up way cool. Shows you don’t know somebody til you do.
