How Could I Do This is an apology letter. This one made me cry while singing it. I wrote it while walking from Place de la Bastille to Charles De Gaulle on a cold Valentines day morning in Paris.
How Can I Do This – Written, performed, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by John Jones.

Be True To Yourself – Live in Burbank 2000

This was a Live Internet Broadcast from netthistv.com‘s studio, recorded March 29, 2000, of John Jones and the Minstrels, performing songs from the album, One Moment in Time
On that rainy night in Burbank, the Minstrels were, Richard Martinez (djembe), Sean Halley (guitar, vocal), and Christoph Bull (accordion, vocal). Steve Ferrone was expected to play percussion, but couldn’t find a parking spot, and missed the show!
Richard, Sean, and myself, had played a couple of the songs at the Troubador, a few months earlier. For this show we were joined by Christoph.
Big Thanks to Kevin and Rob Carmony for the video!
Here are direct links to the songs, skipping my comedic banter:
0:26 – Be True
5:32 – Mad About You
10:26 – Lead Me Along (huh?)
16:06 – One Moment in Time
21:45 – State of Mind
26:46 – Dear John

DEAR JOHN by John Jones

John Jones and Mick Fleetwood. Circa 1999. I didn’t make the video. Bless who ever did!
I had a moment, where I was totally shocked, that it had been almost 20 years since John Lennon had passed. So, I wrote and recorded this song.
Breakfast With the Beatles?

Oh, how time flies!
Here is the second track from my black n white album from 2009. Thanks to Emily Richards for pushing me to finish and release this project. Many of us have mountains of songs that we never release for many reasons. This one I’m super proud of!
Steve Ferrone and John Jones rocking out, here and there!
The playlist plays a few more songs from the black n white album, if you like what you hear.

And when this plays, I think about the awesome fun we had doing it.
Dee Long sampled the parts at AIR Studios, Oxford Street.
We jammed them into this song, and Chris Potter mixed it, at Olympic Studio in Barnes.
