Season 2 - Episode 3 :: "Me and Mr. Jeff Jones!"

Jeff Jones's all-around philosophy of music would forever change once he relocated to Arizona to attend ASU in the late 1970s. Coming from a more traditional atmosphere that approached music parallel to its time, Jones began to infiltrate the local scene in search of like-minded people to connect with. Not only would he be creatively challenged, but his spiritual senses would be harmoniously heightened when he first met the late great Charlie Gocher after an epic duo set of drums and saxophone, which, to this day, you have to imagine the extraterrestrial energy in that room as a freakish fly that has landed on a slice of stale pizza. Eventually, the Sun City Girls' infamous short-lived quintet era was born, which featured multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Linda Cushma, Joe "Stage" Musico on drums (later replaced by Gocher), and Jones on sax. What would become the band's first-ever vinyl appearance on the legendary compilation "Ominous Clouds: Produced For Citizens For A Non-Nuclear Future," which also featured local legends Clarke Rigsby, and Hans Olson, who founded the influential Sun Club in Tempe, the group would later slim down to its mind-altering trio, and the rest is history!
