oh wow it's been a long time since I've been here...
Ok, so first with the thank yous.
As most of you know we're working on a site update and many of you gave some great input. Thanks for that.
Also, I've been playing some shows recently and have seen some of you there. Thanks for coming out and supporting!
Thanks also for the support and diligence on Myspace. I know it sucks. I get hundreds of spam comments daily and can never reach out to fans when I want to. Keep at it, though, there are so many good reasons to keep that site running.
And I guess the biggest thanks to all of you here posting and enjoying the music. I've got so many new songs and am excited for you all to hear them.
I'll be getting to the Ask Jon section shortly and will resume answering as many questions as time permits. That ought to be a more regular occurrence with Judy cracking the whip.
Dee, I love your little waving guy. Maybe that can be one site improvement....better emoticons....or whatever they are called.
Anywho...Hi jon. Nice to see you here. Best of luck on all your upcoming shows and events. Wish some were on the east coast, maybe some day.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Favorite quote from 2007: Some people are like a Slinky ... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.
Hi Jon, nice to hear from you. I look forward to the new songs and hope you make it to the Northwest soonish. OH, and hopefully that whip was just a wet noodle.

I hope you are deleting the "friends" that send you spam. I do. I get a lot of random people and bands requesting to be added but I am getting more and more cautious and won't add anyone who's page says anything about ring tones, free stuff like iPods, laptops, purses, free gift cards, work from home schemes, etc, and if one sneaks past me and I see they spam me, I quickly delete them from my friends. They can't post a comment if they aren't your friend so one by one if you eliminate the spammers, that should help. Then of course there are people who are hacked and don't know it, so you have to watch out for that too and not delete a true "friend".

When I just pasted the name of this thread again I thought about a "Queen" song "Been A Long Time" or at least that is the lyrics of it anyway. I started singing all loud and everything. Anyone know if that is the name of the song? Just that one part is stuck in my head now.
Hello Jon! It has been a long time so it's good to hear from you. My daughter and I would love to see you perform again so we are crossiing our fingers you can come a bit closer to our neck of the woods. (Portland, OR) In the meantime your cd is great. I will be playing it for others as that always makes for more sales. I got a friend at work to order the Christmas cd after she heard mine and could not get your song out of her head. Wishing you big success Jon as you deserve it and will be looking forward to hearing new songs from you too. Have a blessed Easter as it will be here soon. Carpe Diem.

Are you talking about the Zeppelin song?
Its been a long time since I rock and rolled, Its been a long time since I did the stroll. Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back. Let me get it back, baby, where I come from. Its been a long time, been a long time, Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.
Its been a long time since the book of love. I can't count the tears of a life with no love. Carry me back, carry me back, Carry me back, baby, where I come from. Its been a long time, been a long time. Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight, Making vows that just can't work right. Open your arms, open your arms. Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in. Its been a long time, been a long time. Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
(If it is, you aren't the only one... cuz that song keeps popping in my head)...
That's the song it made me think of Jolie. It's a cool song.
My favorite Zepplin songs are all from the "In Through the Out Door" album:
"In the Evening" "Fool in the Rain" "All of My Love"
So Jon, do you have a favorite Led Zepplin song? I know this isn't the "questions" thead.

I wish Jolie, but nope it is a Queen song. I knew it wasn't the name of it. It is song on their "Best of Queen: Gold Album"
It is "Been a Long Time, Been A long Time, Lonely, Lonely, Lonely..." AND AHH that is the only part that is stuck in my head. Can you see what makes me crazy.

tclaire5@bigpond.com Hey mate, please visit Australia, when can you come? I thought you were divine, voice and all when Idol screened here and I knew you would do something great. Regards, Thandi-Claire
