John Jones Music

Happy Birthday Michael Fleetwood! I have been blessed to have you as my friend and mentor. Long live the dog and pony show!

Mick Fleetwood on john jones music

A song about dissatisfaction, circa 1982-83.

This is the original demo of my song Too Bloody Much that I recorded with our Fairlight CMI (Computer Music instrument) at ESP Studios, Buttonville, Ontario, Canada in the 1980’s. The vocals and guitars were recorded though an MCI console onto an MCI 24-track two-inch. The other instruments were programmed in Page R and the Fairlight CMI was running live, in sync, when mixed down to 2-track. This one and only mix was discovered and recovered by Frank Watt, who is owed a wee dram (or two)!

Because I did not have the original tape for Too Bloody Much when I was putting together my One Moment in Time album, I recorded a new version of it in Hollywood. By then I was California-ized, and I recorded it in a soft-rock sort of way. Here it is from 1998 – Too Bloody Much

Thanks to Ken Roberts for a rebirth of my song Lost Without You with his Level IX mastering system.

This track is my 1993 demo mix from Hammerwood with Steve Ferrone grooving along in 1996 at Record Plant, Hollywood!

All the best Birthday wishes to one of my awesome musical partners, Davinci (Robbie Bernstein)!

Here are some flattering spinal tap clips that Bobbie made of our sessions for the Long Time Sun; our biggest Davinci & Jones hit!

The first clip is filmed inside my Porsche 914, which makes a miserable set for a music video! Hey, my stereo worked! (I have since had to unplug it because it was running my battery down when it was turned off!) “I paid $50 bucks for it, and installed it myself.”

And… some recording-studio clips from Drumroll and Orange.

Happy Birthday Mate!

What an amazing time we had in old Pasadena thanks to Jason and Alan and Becky and everyone who helped to get so many great friends from all over the world together to celebrate Stephen’s 60th birthday.

The list of friends who came to play included Nathan East, Greg Phillinganes, David Pack, Brian Auger, Alex Ligertwood, Benmont Tench, David Garfield, Malik Pointer, Steve Postell, Danny Halperin, Tim Scott and many others.

Songs included Josie and the Biggest Part of Me and some very serious funk!

I managed to commandeer the piano in the sitting room for the gentle after hours show. After a few Beatles and Beach Boys numbers we floated back to earth. Happy Birthday Steve!

Les Fleurs du mal was a volume of poetry written by Charles Pierre Baudelaire, published in 1857.

Flowers of Evil is an album of electronic music, released in 1969, that was written, performed, recorded, mixed, and produced, by Ruth White, which she put to an English translation of Baudelaire’s poem’s. I have been working on preparing her many albums for re-release.

Thanks to Ken Roberts I finally have a version of Second Stand, my first multi-track recording, sounding great!

I was writing about my soul leaving one body and joining another, ala Edgar Cayce. High School baby!

For the moment it is on Soundcloud. I know that two or three of you will rush to hear it. The rest of you…
