Thank you for sharing this cherished moment about my late father's music. 33 years ago my father passed away on 6/27/1984. So proud of my father and the music that he left behind for everyone to still enjoy some 61 years later. I'm about speechless! THE BIRDS IS COMING was recorded 54 years ago in New York City. The record that you have in your possession is a priceless gem and thanks to your grandfather! Kevin, I appreciate you just for sharing this unforgettable moment in time about Louis (BLUES BOY) Jones! Please continue to share Jones' music and legacy. Still striving for a movie deal about a traveling blues musician from Galveston Texas that saw my mother at a Ray Charles dance back in 1952 at The Galveston City Auditorium!

He told me that DJ Skippy White on TOUCH 106.1 FM radio in Boston Massachusetts played this song on Saturday 10/15/2016. I knew I would be calling Skippy to thank him personally for such an honor as this. Skippy told me that my Dad was one of his favorites and he couldn't believe that he was talking to Louis Jones' daughter after all these years. FATE! Skippy told me he has been in business for 55 years. Skippy White's records is located in Boston. His radio show called The Time Tunnel airs each Saturday from 8 am to 12 noon. Humble appreciation from our hearts to Skippy and all parties involved. We thank you all! My Dad has followers around the globe.

The "THE BIRDS IS COMING! Hitch yourself to LOUIS JONES,"is mentioned on both sites. Jones has been featured in six different newspapers, two of them he made the front page! I kindly thank you for recognizing my father's talents as a great entertainer. Soon Jones' hometown Galveston, Texas will name a street after him. I will advocate next for a date to be set aside in Galveston to honor his legacy also. This has been some of the most gratifying moments in my life. I am so proud of my Dad. What a blessing to be sharing this great news about Blues Boy Jones' legacy and music with all of his wonderful followers in places around this world! Humbly blessed.

All of this great news about my father is very exciting yet emotional for me but in a great way. A follower of Jones' music made a statement about how this all became possible being able to communicate with Blues Boy Jones' daughter. Also he said my father is his favorite artist from the 1950's & 1960's era and now he's talking to his daughter via the Internet! It's hard to explain but I am grateful for all these amazing opportunities of meeting people who love and respect Jones' legacy then and now! In 2007 I made the statement to my younger sister that I will write a book about our Dad's life and one day I hope someone make a movie of Jones' life.
