Like last year, I would like to celebrate a birthday.

The man who nurtured my love of the blues in the early days can claim his pension from today.

Paul Jones - Born 24 Feb 1942 in Portsmouth, UK

Without Paul Jones I would probably not have begun to play the harmonica and maybe I would not have developed the same passion for the blues. When his blues shows started in the 1980s they widened my eyes so much to the availability of good blues; all I was aware about before were the the terrible selections that were available in the local high street record shops.

Thanks Paul! Without you I am sure that there would never have been bluesinthenorthwest.com.
