Extractions: October 13th 2003 11:28am As Jonny Lang, blues-rock guitar wunderkind, maneuvered the streets of this affluent Los Angeles suburb, he sang along with a gospel-tinged piano song. Naaaah. Yeaaaaah! Believe it. Lang, who shot to the top of the blues charts in the mid-'90s as a teenager with an old man's voice and a young man's guitar showmanship, headlined Gov. Jesse Ventura's inaugural ball and toured with B.B. King. But now it's bye-bye, Jonny Blues Boy; hello, soulful California rocker. The Minnesota-bred star has moved, married and been born again spiritually and musically. He quit drinking, stopped smoking and abandoned the blues. On his third album, "Long Time Coming," Lang sounds more like Stevie Wonder than Stevie Ray Vaughan. And he even does a version of a churchy piano ballad set to a rhythm track by get this Eminem. Jonny Lang Rene Macura "I felt at home playing blues guitar for a period, but I never felt at home singing it or writing it. It's not what's in me," said the guitarist/singer, who has sold more than 2 million blues-rock albums. "I grew up listening to soulful rock music; it's always been my preference as far as songs go. Honestly, I never had the blues. I was never this ridiculously tortured guy."

In the episode, set to air Friday, April 2nd, Joan (Amber Tamblyn) is frustrated over doing poorly on a math test and God intervenes and advises her to take piano lessons.

Extractions: Special to the Chronicle Pianist Lang Lang played Beethoven with technical brilliance in a performance May 15 with the Houston Symphony. He is prodigiously gifted technically, as he illustrated so astonishingly Saturday in the encore: his own improvised arrangement of the waltz from Johann Strauss' operetta Di e Fledermaus He filled his version with almost-unbelievable challenges and then tossed them off with teasing nonchalance. It was like watching a master NASCAR driver perpetually on the edge of a catastrophic spin: You know he's in control of the vehicle, yet the possibility of disaster adds a subconscious nervousness to the excitement. The encore was a memorable moment of over-the-top daring and it was an explanation of why Lang's account of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 was so personable and yet so unconvincing.
