Yes I’m unique. So what!

End of HikeHappy Easter one and all!  Here’s the latest by Expert Author “ME”. 

This post is titled so for several reasons.  My brother Bob told me recently that some good had come from my innate ability to piss a lot of people off…or was it piss off a lot of people?  He uses English well.

Anyway when I came out of hibernation musically 1 year ago, I hadn’t been to many blues jams (an oxymoron?), had no band, had no affiliation with any music people and was out of touch.  Now I have a band “Blues From the Bottoms” and I’m the Secretary of the Daytona Blues Society.

The band I’m proud of.  I’ve added almost 100 songs to my own repertoire. 

I might be the worst secretary DBS has ever had, but I don’t care ’bout that ’cause I write the Newsletter.   Mike & Jeff are very capable administrators and excellent guitarists & I don’t like many guitar players.  

The ones I run with are a credit to their instrument.  My aforementioned brother Bob Jones is at the top of that heap.  He is the consumate guitar player.  He can be the third guitarist in the band or he can front up.  I’m giddy when we get a chance to play together.  We can go anywhere and with the right drummer, entertain a crowd for hours.  AND KICK their ass, too.  He would not be so glowing in his brag…but it’s true.

I have a disturbing tendency to tell the truth.  I sure will shut somebody down if I think they’re overstepping their authority or their boundaries.  Yet at the same time I offend so many people,  I’ve managed to keep & grow a highly political, high tech, high security job in state government.

My Boss once said that in the Capitol some folks there call me the “final solution.”  I’m not sure if he was joking or what.  I’m a good friend and good sponsor, I’m told.

I truly don’t care what people think about me. God is my only judge. T loves me. The other T loves me. My kids love and respect me. 

I’ve had a good day.  Family was here and I believe in the promise of Easter.  Won’t go to church, but I believe and I am grateful.

Baptized by Fire

All of Feb & half of March has come & gone.  I apologize.  I’ve lost count of the friends and family we have buried since Halloween.  I guess I’m getting to that age.  I can’t really say that though cause the youngest & most recent one was 42 years of age.   That’s all I want to say ’bout that. 

Thanks to those of you who came to The Deland Bike Rally in the wet and cold.  You know who you are.  We love you.  Shout out to Lori from Seminole Harley.   Call us anytime.

I’ve put up the March Recipe for St Paddy’s Day.  “About time!”  some of you will say.  You’re right…of course.  Swamp sauce is ready, too.  Good stuff…makes road-kill fit to eat. 

Daytona Blues Society All Stars will be scorching the earth on Friday March 16th at 7:00 PM in the Port Orange Ampitheater for 2 hours.  I will be there holding down that big bottom.

My loss is your gain!

Wow I had somebody make an order and then disappear, so for a very limited time, (till Super Bowl Sunday) I will offer you a case of Medium Salsa steeply discounted.  You have a very short time to take advantage of me before I return to my senses.

Click here now and place your order.  SuperBowl Salsa.  Don’t hesitate.  I might get in a mood. (smile)

I almost forgot to tell you

At Sweet and Sassy Salsa we put up recipes every month. January is no exception. I just didn’t tell you about it in time. I’ve had people tell me they are not getting my emails. They give me a blank stare, when I tell them they missed a sale.

It was announced in my emails. “I didn’t get any email from you!” they cry. Check your bulk or spam folder, people. I does just what I says.

Anyway, Life is good and the January recipe is on the website!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Well, 2007 is here. I just left a small gathering in my neighborhood, where the young ones were throwing up their beer bongs and the old ones were laughing. I’m so gratefull for so many blessings. The biggest one I can think of right now is no hangover!

I always try to remember the awe I felt when I was younger, watching the ball drop. I’m older now and it occurs to me that even if the ball don’t drop, it won’t change tomorrow for me. Not much the government or the church or the neighbors can do to dictate how I believe and even more importantly how I behave. I’m whole.

I guess I better finish production on the swamp sauce. But in the meantime sweetandsassysalsa is a real good place to shop. We have salsa, bbq & hot sauces and recipes to tell you how to use it.

Much Love to All,
Big Jeff

I thought it was a good idea…

GIFT CERTIFICATES! 1/3 OFF
But I was told this morning via an early morning email that the final product was stupid. She said, ” I know you and I know what you meant, and it’s very generous, but what you put up in your e-store didn’t make no sense.”

So I called her, after the sun came up, she explained herself and then, she came and gave me $40 and left with a case of Medium Sweet and Sassy Salsa. Such Love!

When I looked at it later… oh hell, she’s right. I’ve since changed the order page around for the Gift Certificates because it was stupid and “…didn’t make no sense!” OOPS!

GIFT CERTIFICATES! 1/3 OFF
Now it’s very obvious that if you want a $90 gift certificate, the price is $60.00. If you want a $45 Gift Certificate the price is…drumroll please…$30! So, that makes sense now. If you want to take advantage of my generosity, you have 5 extra days (I’m willing to make it right) untill 12/29/06 to buy now or lose this chance.

I was gonna cut it off Christmas Eve at Midnight, but you know…

You will be redirected to a top secret discount code page to print a certificate, so you can order online right away or you can wait and use it later after you give your LOVE offering away.

May God Bless you and yours. I mean that.

Big Jeff Jones

PS: Don’t kid yourself! This is the deal of the year. Are you ready for the New Year?

GIFT CERTIFICATES! 1/3 OFF

Less than 10 days to go

before the big day and I wonder what more can I do?  You  too? 

Well, I was issued a challenge this afternoon.  So I thought about it for awhile and with so many things to be grateful for, I want to commemorate the passing of a great man.  So here it is.  Maybe I’m nuts.

Go here and purchase a gift certificate for someone you just don’t know what to get…or even your self for next month when you need a little heat in January. 

Maybe I’m a little rattled, maybe I’m just grateful, or like I said before, maybe I’m just nuts!

FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS, I’LL MATCH 50% OF YOUR PURCHASE!

If you punch the link and spend $30 I’ll send you a $45 GC and a code by email in case you want to shop right now.  If you spend $60 I’ll throw in $30 more to make it $90.  You get the idea.

Merry Christmas!  Ho Ho Ho!

Jeff & Tia Jones

Family Still

Sunday Night: My Father-in Law has passed. Dec 1, 2006 he drew his last breath. He waited for everybody (family) to leave his room at haspice before he passed. He was not alone, though. An angel on this earth (a hospice nurse) held his hand and said the “Our Father” (The Lord’s prayer) with him. He went peacefully, thank GOD Almighty.

Before he passed I wrote a letter to the Anti Aging Doctor who I follow closely. You can read it here: It’s an inside job.

I’m back working hard to get out our Christmas specials. You can find them at Hot Stuff for the Holidays!

I’m relieved and happy that the man’s struggle is over. Life goes on. The Irish will descend on Volusia County en masse for the funeral & wake. I’m ready!

If anyone wants to do anything at all send a donation to Hospice of Volusia/Flagler in Port Orange, Fl. For Jeff & Tia Jones in the name of Albert Carey. You will be blessed.

I’ll go back to work on the Swamp Sauce soon. Stand buy for the advance notice. This BBQ sauce is going to be the best thing on road kill and wild hawg you ever put in your mouth. That’s all for now, friends. “To sleep; perchance to dream…”

Much Love,
Big Jeff

Swamp sauce shall remain a secret

I’m still working on this stuff. There have been interupptions far to numerous to mention. The elder lives on…

I know this Big Jeff’s Swamp Sauce is HOT. I’ve just about got it down to a work of art.
Put some on the pork chops last night. Smokey the Rhino says “Like…Oh My God!”

We have a Gift Certificate for those who want to get ahead of the pack.   Don’t wait too long.  Once I release it to the public these 10 cases will vanish.

Much Love to all & Happy Thanksgiving!

Mortality?

I’m up early this morning. 3:30 AM is not a good time to get a phone call…never good news. Tia’s father is moving on to the next great adventure. Hospice is here. They are angels from God in Heaven.

They wash clean the horrible plague on mankind that this generation’s noxious melange of “medical industry professionals” has perpetrated on an unsuspecting world. Forgive me.

I’m not sure what happens next. Usually I am. Kinda numb this early. It’ll come to me.

My son Ryan and I once spoke of Power. I told him that one of the traits of power for me was the ability to feel everything. Not to be burdened or driven to irrational behavior by it, but to feel it. A true mystic must be an unflinching realist.

Some people think I’m cold-blooded. I can be, I guess. But KNOW THIS:

LOVE CONQUERS ALL! Don’t worry, Pop Pop. I’ll look out for the women.

This is where you’ll find the spice of life.
