A Mother of our band began a mission to better mine and my bands fan base this fall by booking us fall festivals that would give us little pay but lots of exposure. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We have been playing great but people these days are so into the radio and horrific music with no sophistication at all. But anyway, a gentlemen by the name of Joe O'Leary told Mamma Ryan that he had set out on his own mission to better life for kids in need over the holiday. He said it shook up to hear David Letterman say, "There are kids eating dirt, just to know what a full belly feels like." This is such a true statement that still seems to go unanswered and unattended to. Why? We must make an answer. Parents, would you like it if your child were in this situation? How would that make you feel as a parent? Lets do something.

I stand right behind Joe O'Leary, Mamma Ryan and this cause to create a better life for kids across the nation; so much that I have written a song for its efforts. The song is titled, "Happy Child" and was written within minutes by myself and my brother Trenard Allan Jones. I got the message on the day before Thanksgiving to come up with some material for the cause, and good thing was that I had already had melodies just laying around that were either going to be thrown away or given away. I couldn't help but be apart of this. As I kid who once lived in the closest thing to poverty, it was just the right thing to do. For the children, NOT for fame, one day I will sing it around the world, mending hearts and bringing joy to the needy, again and again. I cannot wait. Will you be with US?

Back to the Mother of the band, Mamma Ryan and her helping with mine and my bands fan base; THIS cause is what she came up with. She couldn't have drawn it up in a better way. Our fan base will soon be people with open hearts willing to help in anyway they can; true, honest, genuine fans who support sophistication in music and a grand group of good guys; The Evan Taylor Jones band. Perfect. This is a true case of "Give and it will come back to you."
So go that extra mile, day or night, rain or shine. When the day dies down, will you?
