JIM JONES R.I.P.

Last week Jim Jones died of a heart attack at the age of 57 after many years of illness. Jim was guitarist with Pere Ubu, Home and Garden and many other Cleveland bands. I didn't know him, never met him and probably only saw him play once (Worlds in Collision tour 1993, London Marquee) but I feel strangely saddened at his death.

Read about his impact on the Cleveland scene and other musicians here. David Thomas of Pere Ubu is strongly against unauthorised posting of their material (see here) but I hope he doesnt't mind the following as a tribute to Jim.
