2/19/07: It is with a heavy heart that we inform you all that Jim Jones has passed away. Jim was our colleague, our collaborator, our bandmate and our friend.

Jim had suffered through numerous health problems over the past decade or so - but all things considered - seemed to be doing okay. Thanks to his unusual schedule (basically sleeping all day and staying up all night) we haven't gotten to see him very much recently.

Jim was a fixture of the Cleveland music scene - having played in numerous cool bands (Easter Monkeys, the Mirrors, Pere Ubu, H&G, and many others). Primarily known for his guitar work, Jim was also proficient on synths and bass. He was an ardent music fan - with catholic tastes running from classical to free jazz to rock'n roll.

He passed away at home.

He will be VERY missed by numerous friends and fans.
