Hi Steve, hope you are keeping well. Good luck with your Japan tours, love to be out there with you one day. Next year is going to be busy for us, we are doing a US tour in Feb, European tour in March, and South America around Easter time. Stay cool, keep in touch, and whatever you do, Keep On Rocking those Blues... Pete. www.stratmaster.co.uk
"Billy Jones brings back the Thrill that once belonged to Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush. ...a refreshing blast of the really great sound of Healing Blues, Jazz, Funk Music.
Loaded with Rich Blues Tradition B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Even Johnny Winter Flavors.
Folks you must check out Billy Jones Bluez."

"Billy Jones proves to be an excellent bluesman in this superb album, which epitimizes his extrodinary guitar playing, borrowing from the likes of such greats as Hendrix, Muddy Waters, and BB King. I'd recommend this to any avid blues listener and I look forward to hearing more from the reclusive Billy Jones."

Hi Steve,
Here is my wish for the very best to you and all my LiveBluesWorld friends as we take the music of our heritage into 2009 and the 21st century.
It's an honor to be on this journey with you. ..and a pleasure to be your friend. Thank you for allowing me to be a member of the community.
..."true greats" ...are not those born with "golden spoons" in their mouths. ...but those who through "hard work" turn their own "wooden spoons" into "gold".
"...the re-emergence of blues music as serious social commentary."
