My Times


I'm trying to keep up with my site while recording my album! I almost didn't notice that johnjones.com had finally gotten sorted.

There are still some bugs in the system, but I ecpect to get into some more fun stuff as soon as the album is completed.

The site of the week is a flock of legal sites I found while looking for some information for myself.



The work on my album is taking all of my time. We now have 17 tracks in various states of repair.
14 have Steve Ferrone in full groove!
The other two are demos of songs that I did later with Alan Frew, and one demo that will live as it is!
Stuart Breed and I will be recording and mixing everyday we are healthy!

The Music pages have a few of the demos.

Dan Hill and our song Wrapped Around Your Finger, was number 26 on Radio and Records (Rand R) Adult Contemporary chart!
Have you heard it?


Motor Racing

The British GP was won by Jacques Villeneuve at Silverstone yesterday. Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher had car trouble, but Jacques was running away with it anyway!

Paul Stewart of Stewart Grand Prix, next years World Championship constructers, was in California recently to use the same wind tunnel that the best car in F1 uses. Makes sense to me!

I've just watched a tape of the Toronto Indy Car race.
I'm very sorry for Jeff Krosnoff and the track marshall and their families, as well as everyone who was a part of a most tragic and uneccessary accident.
Many years ago, when racing cars used public roads, drivers were killed regularily by trees, houses and telephone poles. Concerns about safety put the cars on purpose built tracks, away from the obstacles of everyday life.
Why do they still race on public roads in Toronto and Long Beach and Monaco?
Jeff would not have hit a telephone pole, and no marshall would ever stand so close to open wheel racing cars at a purpose built track!

Somedays I hate Motor Racing. This is one of them!
