History
Thanks to the computer and email, he'd also re-established his friendship
with James Simmons. They began to send stuff back and forth, music and
lyrics, looking for input.
Jon's CD Album, Frankie Said, released in 2003
was an ambitious project. 14 brand new
songs on which Jon played all of the instruments, including acoustic guitar, upright bass, saxophones, mandolin
and percussion.
At the end of September, 2006, Jon released his latest album: SHORT CIRCUIT. This time Jon goes electric,
and decidedly back to his rock roots. No saxophones, no upright bass or mandolin. "Short Circuit" features
Jon on his primary instrument, guitar. This is not just any old electric guitar, though. Jon takes his acoustic, slaps on a
magnetic pickup, feeds it through tubes, distortion, JangleBox compression, Lex 'verb, and then
rides that wild little animal, bringing forth something distinct, alive and original.
