The One Who Says the True Thing

Jo Kearns

The band's billed vocalist — brass and feathers on the stand, flatly honest off it, and thoroughly tired of being the only person in the room who says the true thing out loud.

in Three in the Morning — Ambrose & Jo, the Set Nobody Paid For

A softly curved young woman in her early twenties, fair and freckled, with an auburn marcel wave losing its set in the basement heat and green eyes that dare you to look away first. An adult woman entirely at home on a bandstand: stage lipstick worn down to its outline, shoes off, gin in a coffee cup.

Shows affection by
words of affirmation
In conflict
meets conflict head-on
Habits
drinks gin out of a coffee cup after hours; kicks her shoes off the second the last customer is gone; says the thing everybody is thinking and then lets the silence do the rest
