New To You Ep213: Remembering Jason Golliher (1976-2016)

The week we take a pause from our standard fare.  John, Jules and Keith are joined this week by their long time friend Jason Plapp to reflect on the recent passing of a friend.  This is the first time we've recorded remotely so we could include Plapp from his home in Los Angeles where he works in the animation industry.

This is a deluxe episode where we introduce you to our friend through the things he introduced to us. 

Jason Golliher, who went by Jase or Jayse, for a time by Ari or Artie, and most recently Jackson Hall, was an artist and musician who we had the good fortune to know and befriend in college. He played a pivotal part in Keith, Plapp, John and Jules meeting.

"Golden Microphone" a piece from Jayse AKA Jackson Hall 2010. You can find more of his work on his portfolio site.

PART 4: John - The Art of Drinking

John recalls that in college Jayse had turned 21 soon after we all met. He bucked the trend of college drinking being a 'just to get drunk' activity. 

Jayse introduced us to PBR and extolled the virtues of whiskey as a way of adding smoke to your singing voice.  Jayse loved to share his Tennessee roots: namely the music, hospitality and the whiskey. Our Hollis Place home where at least a half dozen of us lived our last year of college. There just inside the right hand door, on the right hand side was Jayse's room- that first floor window on the right was his. Jayse loved having people in his room to share stories, drinks, laughter and music.  Just down the block from our Allston home was this dive bar. This was a place Jayse and 'the family' loved to go when entertaining at home got stale. A painting by Jayse on corrugated cardboard.  A self portrait.

______________________________________________________________________

A little more about Jayse:

While living in Tennessee Jayse had a number of bands in college and highschool, a tradition he carried when he moved to Boston to attend the Art Institute of Boson and a passion he continued when he moved to the Carolina's after college. Jayse in Tennessee with his band "Bourgeois Pop Machine." Jayse is on the left. Jayse on guitar, Chris Wilkerson on the bass. The Tennesee Boys in the Comm. Ave apartment. Left to Right: Keith, Shelby, Plapp, and Jayse. Brighton, MA ~1998 Brisco Darlin' Allston, MA ~'99: Back- Left to Right: Jayse, Nick, Keith, Tim. Front - Left to Right: John Bickford, Plapp, McCann. 'Beach Party' Brighton, MA ~'97. Corrina, Jayse and Plapp. Halloween Brighton, MA ~'97/'98. Jayse and Plapp. Jayse in N.C. - A little story behind this one: Jayse introduced Ted Hobgood to the comedy of Patton Oswalt. They then started a series of photos where they catalogued all the things that were mentioned in Patton's comedy routines. The project was discovered and they were tapped to create a slideshow style video of all the things Patton mentioned in his comedy set "FInest Hour." This short video was included on the bonus features of the comedy special DVD. Jayse produced the music for the video. You can purchase the special on iTunes or Amazon. We have Jayse to thank for introducing us to vast amounts of music, art, movies, books, and the spirit of doing. He constantly introduced himself to people and in turn introduced those people to the things he loved.
