SINCE 2013, when Army veteran Johnny R. Jones started wondering what could he possibly do to break into the music business, he enthusiastically embraced the novel idea of making his songs available on streaming services.

People have been enthralled by Mr. Jones' compositions! The songs have truly found an eager international audience, who really enjoy and appreciate Mr. Jones' knack for memorable melodies and sincere, heartfelt lyrics that actually mean something, and that people can relate to! ONLY PROBLEM IS, despite the popularity of Mr. Jones' songs, the meager rates paid (fractions of a cent per stream) means royalty payments are averaging like ten bucks a month. (You can't live on that!!)

We have done everything we could think of to try to “break-in” Mr. Jones into the music biz: We’ve tried getting in touch with radio stations, record companies, artists, artists’ managers, music publishers (nationally and overseas); besides streaming, we have had a few CDs manufactured, etc., etc. But so far, despite how many people say they enjoy Mr. Jones’ songs, we have, so far, not succeeded in generating enough income from his talents to allow him to make a living at it!

SO IT IS we have decided to remove Mr. Jones’ Slices of Life album from streaming services! But this should not be a problem for listeners who sympathize with the idea of helping veterans who are artists and songwriters to be able to try to make a living with their artistic work! To those people we say Thank You for understanding(!), and know that you can still enjoy Mr. Jones’ Slices of Life if you purchase it as a mp3 download or as a CD – it seems to us reasonable, and not too much to ask if you really want to help veterans! (We will also allow the option of purchasing individual tracks from the album as mp3 downloads, if you so desire!)

Thank You for your understanding!; all veteran artist-songwriters will appreciate it!!
