Bio
"One of this country's top blues guitar stars" writes the Globe and Mail about 29-year old, JW-Jones. JW-Jones has one of the most energetic and exciting live shows on the scene. It is no surprise that he has played throughout the world (CANADA, USA, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, BRAZIL) and some of the biggest names in blues today, including The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Little Charlie & The Nightcats, Rod Piazza, Anson Funderburgh with Sam Myers, The Mannish Boys and the legendary Hubert Sumlin have invited him to join them on stage. During a special appearance with the band, Hollywood celebrity and fan, Dan Aykroyd said, "this is an amazing blues band, and I've played with the best!" Mr. Aykroyd wrote the liner notes for the 2008 release 'Bluelisted'. The new record "Midnight Memphis Sun" features special guest stars Hubert Sumlin and Charlie Musselwhite, while past CDs have had world-class musicians David 'Fathead' Newman (Ray Charles sax player), Little Charlie Baty, Junior Watson, Colin James, and multi-Grammy nominee Kim Wilson who appears on two discs and produced 'My Kind of Evil' in 2004. Their music has garnered radio-play worldwide, including heavy rotation on commercial radio stations, and features on shows such as the internationally syndicated House of Blues Radio Hour. In 2009, Guitar World Magazine featured a CD called 'Guitar Masters Vol. 2' that put Jones alongside guitar stars B.B. King, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana and more. The buzz this band has created over the last decade has earned them a national award - the Maple Blues Award for Electric Act of the Year, and rave reviews throughout the globe. Jones has been featured by Blues Revue Magazine and can be found in the books All Music Guide to Blues and Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings. When working with Jeff Asselin (drums), or adding the heavy grooves of Jesse Whiteley (organ), the musicians with Jones always add a powerful energy to the stage. Canada's Top Touring Blues Act, Jones and his band are born entertainers, and with their unique sound, they continue to set the world on fire one country at a time! -

Sending you some EXTRA STRENGTH Jw-jones!
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT STRENGTH ...
"Be STRONG.
Live HONORABLY and WITH DIGNITY.
When you DON'T THINK you can,
HOLD ON.”
~ James Frey
GIVE ME STRENGTH, NOT TO BE BETTER THAN MY
ENEMIES, BUT TO DEFEAT MY GREATEST ENEMY,
THE DOUBTS WITHIN MYSELF!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

Sending SATURDAY LOVE Jw-jones!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SOUL ...
"TRUE INTIMACY is the opening of ONE SOUL to
another. No GIFT ON EARTH could COMPARE with it,
for it TOUCHES US MORE PROFOUNDLY than our
imagination can envision. When two people SHARE
THEIR LIVES, FREELY, OPENLY, WITHOUT
RESERVATION, it is as if EACH had BECOME
COMPLETE ..."
~ Robert Sexton.

Make Things That Matter your PRIORITY Jw-jones!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PRIORITIES ...
"PRIORITIES - what's REALLY IMPORTANT -
HEALTH, and doing what one WANTS TO DO -
it's certainly not MONEY.
RE-CONSIDER your PRIORITIES
CHART your COURSE.
SET SAIL with COURAGE."
~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange
for it. Establish your PRIORITIES and GO TO WORK!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

Think you can HOLD BACK TIME Jw-jones?
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT TIME ...
"TIME is infinitely more precious than MONEY, and there is
nothing common between them. You cannot ACCUMULATE
TIME; you cannot BORROW TIME; you can never tell
how much TIME YOU HAVE LEFT in the BANK OF LIFE.
TIME IS LIFE ...."
~ Israel Davidson
MINUTES ARE WORTH MORE THAN MONEY.
SPEND THEM WISELY!
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THIS PRECIOUS TREASURE?
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

Give the man some RESPECT Jw-jones!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS THE HUMOR OF RODNEY DANGERFIELD ...
"I tell ya when I was a kid, all I knew was rejection. My yo-yo, it never came back!"
"When I was a kid I got no respect. The time I was kidnapped, and the kidnappers sent my parents a note they said, "We want five thousand dollars or you'll see your kid again."
"Last week I saw my psychiatrist. I told him, "Doc, I keep thinking I'm a dog." He told me to get off his couch."
"One night I came home. I figured, let my wife come on. I'll play it cool. Let her make the first move. She went to Florida."
"I asked my old man if I could go ice-skating on the lake. He told me, "Wait til it gets warmer."
"I was so ugly as a kid, my mother had morning sickness AFTER I was born."
"A hooker once told me she had a headache."
~ Rodney Dangerfield
A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED!

Have a GREAT WEEKEND Jw-jones!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT INSPIRATION ...
"It is not the CRITIC who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man
who is actually IN THE ARENA,
whose face is marred by DUST and SWEAT and BLOOD;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and COMES UP SHORT again and again;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who SPENDS HIMSELF in a WORTHY CAUSE;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
DARING GREATLY
so that his place shall never be
with those COLD TIMID SOULS
WHO KNOW NEITHER VICTORY OR DEFEAT."
~ Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President Of The United States
DON'T BE ONE OF THE COLD TIMID SOULS WHO SIT ON THE SIDELINES IN LIFE AND CRITICIZE THOSE WHO ARE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING! GET INTO THE GAME!

Happy 2012 Jw-jones!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT A YEAR OF TIME ...
As we look into 2012 we look at A BLOCK OF TIME.
We see 12 months,
52 weeks,
365 days,
8,760 hours,
525,600 minutes,
31,536,000 seconds.
And all is a gift from God. We have DONE NOTHING TO DESERVE IT, EARN IT, or PURCHASE IT. Like the air we breathe, TIME comes to us as a part of life.
The GIFT OF TIME is not ours alone. It is given EQUALLY to each person. Rich and poor, educated and ignorant, strong and weak—every man, woman and child has the same 24 hours every day.
Another important thing about time is that you CANNOT STOP IT. There is no way to SLOW IT DOWN, TURN IT OFF, or ADJUST IT. TIME MARCHES ON. And you cannot bring back time. Once it is GONE, it is GONE.
The NEW YEAR IS FULL OF TIME. As the seconds tick away, will you be tossing time out the window, or will you MAKE EVERY MINUTE COUNT?
~ Steven B. Cloud
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

Moving on and turning out the lights...
MySpace Clearance: Florida's online guide to live jazz & blues info is leaving MySpace.
Hello MySpace Friend!
Jazz & Blues Florida is bailing out of MySpace and focusing on our own websites now. We thought Facebook was the way to go, but now it looks like that is disintegrating, too.
If you really want to connect to Florida's jazz & blues scene come check out our main site at www.JazzBluesFlorida.com and if you like what you see, shoot me an email and let me know you want to sign up for our email list. You can opt for daily, weekly or monthly contact and change your mind at any time.
If you are musician based or touring here, our listings are free - we just need to know about them. Use the email address below to send us the info.
I am sure you understand the value of these connections and that nowadays providing that connection is your contribution to what keeps us going, like the money you used to spend on newspapers. This is a one-time request. We will be deleting your MySpace connection after we send this out so you will not be hearing from us again here.
See you on the other side, where the good music is happening! Please excuse us if you are already over there, we had to do this as auto as possible due to the high number of friends we have to process.

Bio:
"One of this country's top blues guitar stars" writes the Globe and Mail about 28-year old JW-Jones.
JW-Jones has played throughout the world (CANADA, USA, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, BRAZIL) and has been invited to share the stage with some of the biggest names in blues today (to play with, not open for), The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Junior Watson, Little Charlie & The Nightcats, Rusty Zinn, Rick Holmstrom, Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers, Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets, The Mannish Boys, the legendary Hubert Sumlin, and many more.
Whether recording/touring with Jeff Asselin, and Martin Régimbald, or adding the heavy grooves of Jesse Whiteley on organ, the musicians with Jones always add a powerful energy to the stage.
During a special appearance with the band, Hollywood celebrity and fan, Dan Aykroyd (Elwood Blues) said "this is an amazing blues band, and I've played with the best!"
Their third album, My Kind Of Evil (2004), was produced by multi-Grammy nominee Kim Wilson (The Fabulous Thunderbirds), and features Canadian guest star Colin James on two smokin' tracks.
Adding a fourth CD to their collection, Kissing in 29 Days (2006), featured the legendary Ray Charles sax player, David "Fathead" Newman.
Their discs have garnered radio-play worldwide, including heavy rotation on some commercial radio stations, and features on shows such as the internationally syndicated House of Blues Radio Hour. The buzz this band has created over the last few years earned them a national award for Electric Act of the Year at Toronto's Maple Blues Awards and rave reviews throughout the globe. With their heavy schedule, this ranks the band as one of the hardest touring blues acts in the country.
2008 will welcome the bands fifth release with NorthernBlues Music, (currently untitled), featuring the two most influential blues guitarists on the west coast; Little Charlie Baty, and Junior Watson, playing together on the same tracks for the first time in a combined 70 year career. This first time collaboration has been called "a recording of historic importance". It also features arguably the best rhythm section in blues, Richard Innes on drums and Larry Taylor on bass.
JW-Jones and his blues band are ready to take on any challenge, and with their unique sound, they are going to set the world on fire one country at a time!
