Pluto Jones evolved from a band called the Memphis Rockers. I think we were
already Pluto Jones by the time Michael joined us, but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway
we played mostly in Florida, but also played gigs in Georgia, Alabama, Ohio and and
I'm sure acouple more states I can't recall. We were primarily a cover band, but we
did have a few good original tunes. In June of 1980, we recorded them at the Brass
Monkey Lounge in Marathon, FL with two mics hanging from the ceiling on an $80
cassette deck. Then we rerecorded them again in 2008 in honor of Michael's 50th
birthday in 2008. Due to some legitimate technical difficulties...but mostly due to
procrastination...I've not yet totally finished mixing the 2008 versions but I have
posted them in their current states, and will continue to work on them as time allows.
Michael played some great drums on these cuts and John, Jimmy & I sure wish we
could play 'em with him one more time...
