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…

Second Stand

A lovely song idea from the Hollywood Dell, circa 1994, written, performed, & recorded, by me (john jones esq.)

Beat the Same Heart from (Songs of 1994-1995)

Wrapped is a song I wrote in Hollywood in September 1995. This is my original midi demo version, mixed the night I wrote and recorded it, and as it appears on One Moment in Time. Mastered by Stephen Marcussen.

There is another version that I produced for Dan Hill, Wrapped Around Your Finger, from his 1996 album, I’m Doing Fine, with Michael Thompson and Steve Ferrone.

A pre-millennium letter-song I wrote to John Lennon, with guest drummer Mick Fleetwood. And an amazing video that I had nothing to do with!

Produced, performed, and written by John Jones. Drums by Mick Fleetwood.
