One perk of working in radio is being able to talk to artist and get an inside look into their lives.

Recently I had the opportunity to talk to Jon Jones the bass player of the Eli Young Band.  I found out that Paul Simon is his favorite song writer and that when he's not playing with the band, he's playing his bass for fun or doing laundry. 

Jon: "Paul Simmon is playing at the Ryman tonight..."

Jon: "I pick up the bass and play for fun so it never feels like a job."

Jon: "My mom started me on violin when I was 2.5 years old."

Jon: "The album has been done for a long time."
