  1. Too Gary Ansell. I have been looking for Phil Jones since the 1990’s. Do you know what happened to him? I cannot find any news on him. I was a friend of his and lost contact when I have briefly moved overseas.

    • I am a friend of Phil’s and managed to find him through some friends, after about 10 years. He still lives in LaVergne, Tennessee. If you’d like I can call him and get him to call you. What is your last name, and where does he know you from?

  2. Hey Ronnie this is Gary Ansell I mixed sound for you in 1981. Allen Kerr was the drummer, Warren played bass, Marie, sang backup. Long time ago. I had to quit because of getting hurt in a accident, how is Billy Reaves doing along with Phil Jones. Call me sometime 757 7243139 I’m still around in va.
    Todd was a 12 year old then. Wow time files.
