BLUESMAN BILLY JONES - FEBRUARY 2009 NEWSLETTER




Hi, everybody.


Our European tour was a great success. The band had a wonderful experience at the Cognac Blues Passions Festival in France! I enjoyed listening to all the outstanding groups who performed at the festival, and getting to meet someof my idols like Willie King, Joan Baez and of course my all-time hero, Bobby Rush, and his beautiful wife.


We also met the chairman of the Hennessy Corporation and had a caviar and escargot "brunch" at the

Hennessy Castle while two butlers waited on us hand & foot. ...very impressive... weird, but impressive.

Then we got to perform for about 15,000 screaming French fans, sign a lot of cd's and autographs and

take a lot of pictures. I was humbled by the experience.


Please visit the Blues Passions website and check out the PDF pamplets to find out what happened at

this historic event.

Thanks,



Billy Jones

p.s... My band is mentioned in the 24 Juillet and the 25 Juillet issues of the "Nothing But the Blues"
