My brother Charles Jones, putting planet Earth in perspective.

Pleasures flow out like waterfalls, across the alluvial plane!

And so we found ourselves in Glassell Park, Los Angeles, recording the master musician, Warren Cuccurullo.

Adam Moseley engineered the recording, while artist Nick Wood marveled at the virtuosity of our exhalted guest!

What more can i say?

It was really great to bend an elbow last weekend with Steve Orchard, an old friend from our days at AIR Studios on Oxford Street!

Steve was in town working at Hansen Studio, the former A&M, the former Red Skelton, Kling, and of course originally, the Charlie Chaplin studio. I didn’t get a chance to tell him that the footprints are a fake…sorry Steve.

Anyway, what is there not to love about old friends, old times, and new pints?

Enjoy this really cool interview with Steve Or’chard about his career!

I love the water bottle in front of the bass drum!

Billie Rainbird and Simon Phillips have flown into my life on a bolt of goodness and light!

We’re having fun working on songs in their super-creative environment at Phantom Studios, Van Nuys, Los Angeles.

For a moment there, I thought I was in Japan!

Simon Phillips in command!

Jones the Neve LOVER!

Sir George Martin’s book, Making Music, was reprinted in 1987. I wrote a chapter on MIDI for the “Revised Edition”.

Here are some snaps of the book. Do you have a copy?
