Healing The Ocean
We’ll have a longer interview with Montecito’s Palmer Jackson, Jr. in an upcoming issue, but just so you know: His new group is called the Double Wide Kings; his previous country band was called the Mobile Home Boys, so he opted “to continue
the trailer trash theme,” he tells me during a short sit-down in his Coast Village Circle office. About three months ago, Hillary Hauser of Heal The Ocean asked Palmer if his group could play at an appreciation party for her donors. He said “sure,” and they played. Afterward, she gave a speech championing the use of reclaimed wastewater. “She said,” relates Palmer, “’We have these pipes that go out into Butterfly Beach; we need to turn those pipes around, bring the water back.’” When Double Wide Kings drummer Charlie Crisafulli – who writes most of the band’s material – heard that, he said, “That sounds like a song” and got together with bandmate Cord Pereira and wrote “Turn The Pipes Around.” That collaboration has led Pereira and Crisafulli to consider writing other socially conscious songs for other groups in the Santa Barbara area. The group has made a video to go along with the words, and that video will be shown at upcoming Heal The Ocean fundraisers. Here’s the link to the song: https://soundcloud.com/ doublewidekings/turn-the-pipesaround-alternate-commercial-master/ s-ro4o5. Just so you know. •MJ
