The Doc Jones Band

I had the privilidge to be in Austin in 1974 with a band called High Cotton, playing venues like Armadillo and others and again in 1976 with the Doc Jones band playing all originals. We played Sunday nights at Split Rail and recorded 2 "45"'s at an Austin studio I can't remember the name of. I am proud to have been a part of the music scene in Austin during those days and have the best memories of it. Austin is probably the prettiest place I have ever lived. I haven't had a decent Chicken fried since...

Doc Jones

I remember Doc Jones from about 1973/74. Good music! He used to do a song called *something* like "Faded Love". No, not the standard - it was his own song, maybe "Fading Love"?

I emigrated to New Zealand in 1974 - and not long after getting here, I met some other ex-Americans. And (synchronicity!) the woman had been a girlfriend of Doc's!

I lived in a barn north of town - Doc's sister lived in one of the other houses on the property, I think. Damn that was a long time ago!
