Jay's Links to Friends and Family

Although now retired from
hostessing the Villa, Jay's vivacious mom, Kitty Johnson, used to
smile and say, "Well, I'm glad to see you go." And then comes the
oft-repeated punchline: "So you can come back soon."

My "little brother"
Tommy...
performing in Del Rio
My "little brother"
Tommy! Carlos Santana said about him..."This is the
future. It's very positive and fruitful. The blues is in
good hands. When someone has the right intentions, with
sincerity, you can never go wrong. This is the person
who has the voice, the sound and the intentions, to
touch everybody's heart". Tommy is a Blues Brother who
has performed with the greatest like Carlos Santana,
John Lee Hooker, BB King, Buddy Guy. He himself will
become known as one of the greatest of all Blues
artists. He writes his own music, is lead guitarist and
is lead singer. And, yes...we are biological brothers. http://www.tcband.com/ |
