TOM JONES
Wind Synth, Saxophone, Flute, Vocals
At the age of 6, Tom was already interested in any musical instruments he could lay his hands on. At the age of 10 he played the tambourine until his school's band director chose him to play the afuche cabassa. It was only after being exposed to an a-tom-ic blast at Fermilab did he realize that he had a rare gift for melody and purchased his first Wind-Synth. History proceeded itself.
Everyone knows that people like to sing
along together, to raise their voices in convivial song, witness the
frequent caroling at campfires, social gatherings or just around the
piano. But perhaps no one realized how widespread was the enjoyment
until "The Down Jones". came along.
Tempos, keys, and the songs themselves have been chosen to provide the
most fun for the most people, and this collection produced by The Jones
Brothers will test the memory and whet the appetites of singers
everywhere.
This collection is designed purely for fun, the kind of fun that can be shared by everyone (even those with monotone voices) and the only ingredient missing, is your voice. Enjoy. The Down Jones.
