John Jones Music

AJr has completed the move with his family and colleagues to Los Angeles from Boston, and is now fully ensconced in his new room at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. The hit of the evening was AJ‘s new album; Dreaming in Subtitles.

The other night a celebration was held, and AJ and I managed to sneak a little pic of the two ex-Duran Duran-ites in the big control room on Santa Monica Boulevard. We’ll look for a photo of us both looking at the same camera…

Sometimes we just need music!

Happy Birthday Dalbello!

Between the dark and the light.I was looking for a video of a song that I worked on with Mick Fleetwood and Ray Kennedy, to remember the feeling of those days in the 1990’s, in the Hollywood Hills, and I found that my friend Ray had passed away back in February.
Rest in Peace Ray. We had some great times and great laughs together!

I had a great time at the ASCAP Expo in Hollywood this year!

I got to hang out with old friend and colleague, producer/writer/musician, Rick Hahn!
Rick is doing well, and looking great! We won Grammy’s for producing Dan Hill‘s song, Seduces Me, for Celine Dion, back in the 1990’s! We also worked together on Portrait of a Groove for Bluezeum at my old studio in the Hollywood Dell.

Here are more photos from this year’s ASCAP Expo in Hollywood.

Did I mention I used to eat lunch in the revolving restaurant at Hollywood Rotary Club meetings?

 

I spent three days last week commuting to Hollywood for this year’s ASCAP Expo at Leows Hollywood Hotel.

And what a pleasure it was to hang out with my friend Frank Oglethorpe, at the Prism Sound/Maselec booth, and with next door neighbors, Jeanne Nooney and Winn Krozack, of PRS Guitars! Check out the panels and speakers on ASCAP’s news page.
