Didn’t know Bob Jones, but do remember playing at the Trident with Larry Coryell and the great bassist Albert Stinson. I used to stay on a houseboat in Sausalito when I played at the Fillmore West in 68. Also Jim Pepper was a fan/friend of Noel Jewkes. It’s a huge universe but we are all more connected then we know. Yes?
