ION INDIE MAGAZINE March 2016, Volume 22 | Page 4

There is a wise old saying: “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb”. And in keeping with that adage, we have produced a March issue that positively ROARS! This Editor found her groove in the Funktalicious singer, songwriter and bodacious bass man, ERIC “EQ” YOUNG. Inside our pages, you will find my feature article that spotlights this supreme showman’s soulful sound. To quote the late, great DON CORNELIUS--who bestowed the moniker “EQ” upon him-- working with Eric has been a “stone gas”! Get YOUR funk on and read all about Eric “EQ” Young in this issue. We are also pleased to bring an eclectic array of global talent to our readers this month. We have none other than the legendary LIL WAYNE (by TIMOTHY SCHUMANN), KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD (by MARK MYERS), BILLY GIBBONS (by DANIEL JOHNSON), AARON LEWIS (by LISA BOEHM), and also, exclusive photography and an interview with QUEENSRŸCHE (provided by GARY CAROTA). Hear us ROAR! As always, thank you to our loyal readers, the amazingly talented artists we feature and the fantastic staff of the absolute BEST and hardest working journalists anywhere. For these, I am grateful! Kiki Plesha CEO/Editor-in-Chief The Fairy Rock Mother ION Indie Magazine
