Ask him to check in somewhere when he's awake. I'd like to give him a call.

Jeezus George, give the guy a chance to relax first. He just got home. Your like a kid bugging his daddy for a piece of licorice at the candy store.

Carmine was indeed happy to see Big Jeff in NYC. He was also pleased when I told him yesterday that you made it home without incident.

Re: Where's Big Jeff Jones?

OK.  I owe George (and all the rest) a real life Funky Dr. review.  After the Bot ate my last one re: The Beacon, I lost the fire & desire to post after the fact.  Besides Michael did a bang-up job. I will make it up.

I'm going to the West Palm Beach show at the Kravis Center.  I will cover it all, big and small. 

I will share my gratitude to the BonaBrothers who put me in the city, once again.  Y'all please be patient and I will deliver after the show.

thanks

Was wondering why you were up so early on a  holiday. If you have a moment, log on to FB so we can have a little chat - please!

P.S Are you gonna make Clearwater tomorrow?

Re: Where's Big Jeff Jones?

Thank you man.  No apology necessary!  That coulda been any one of some of us. 

I got a call yesterday from my other brother.  The second question he asked me was if I was playing any music anywhere with anybody?... 

When I answered to the negative, he said, "...not even a blues jam or open mic?  Jeff, you have too much talent to let it go to waste in your garage.  Yeah I don't care about all those jerkoffs that call themselves musicians in your town.  You should be playing music.  Drive a stake in the ground and start a band if you have to....again!"

He's right of course.  No respect outside of the clique.  It's strange.  I go to a gig or sound check where the pros are and somebody will say "Do you know BigJeff? old school badass bassman?  He's got a family now."  oh yeah.  Most folks around here run the other way.

Jungle Jim says I scare them.  It's humbling really.

Re: Where's Big Jeff Jones?

Well I'm wrong about the state of the dynamics of the music bidness here and I've never been happier about it.  Last night I got a call/message from an old southern rock gentleman blues/rock guitarist; a friend.  He said, " BigJeff, you were the subject of conversation several times over the last coupla weeks.  Are you feeling any better?"

"If you are, please call me. I have a friend who's starting a band and he needs a real bassist.  He has work.  It would be a personal favor to me if you would at least play a half dozen gigs with these cats for Bike Week."

So I called him back and he told me the story.  I asked was I the last resort.  I'm insecure, ya know.  He told me not for him, but for James with the new band, Reuben (my friend) let him run through the local selection till he asked for more.  smile  He actually rehearses and pays on time and write out charts and harmony parts, etc. a guy who wants to do things right if possible.  Cool

So I did 2 back flips and we start rehearsing tonight.  We gwinter rock out Led Zep and Tom Petty with the Allman Bros and Eagles.  Maybe I can keep it in tune.  tongue  He has some originals, as do I.

MuchLove
