Yesterday was the first day of overdubs on the Meninos Do Morumbi album for Music is Hope Foundation.
Michael Thompson is an old friend and a fantastic musician! The song we worked on is a secret, but, it will be fabulous!

I’ll be playing 100 holes for the SCGA Foundation’s Youth on Course program again this year, and I need your support!
You can choose to pledge any amount per hole that I complete, or a total amount. Follow the link above or below.
It should be fairly easy to follow the instructions. Please remember to choose JOHN JONES! And thank you!

Check out this short screen movie.
I imported the movie into the live Pro Tools session and bounced it with the stereo feed we were getting from Studio A at Mosh Studio in Sao Paulo through the Source-Connect plugin.
The video came from iChat. You can see me and Richard Martinez in Los Angeles in the “little” window.
This really rocks if you ask me.

After an amazingly mild summer, and autumn rain from the heavens, my club’s junior golf fundraiser golf tournament was played on October 25 at Rancho Park golf course in Los Angeles. It usually gets a bit brown by October. Lush was the word for the 4th Annual Von Elm. Lovely!

What a great week in Los Angeles. We’ve had unbelieveable weather. 70’s for days. Everything is green. The Jasmine is out. The Sycamores are two weeks into leafing. The air smells sweet. What more can you ask?
This past Friday, the 8th Annual Patrick J. Flanders II memorial charity golf tournament was played at Malibu Country Club. Raising awareness of the problem of Driving Under the Influence the event honors Patrick junior and all of our families and friends who have suffered the tragedy that drinking and driving causes.
After the tournament I performed Jealous Guy and Norwegian Wood with Herman on acoustic guitar and harmonies. We were followed by our AWAKE Community team leader, the brilliant Emily Richards on piano & vocal. Emily was wearing a neck brace covered by a scarf due to some overzealous head stands on the beach in La Jolla recently!

The flowers at the back of the second green were beautiful. The camera cannot do it justice.
