Welcome.

We created this website as a virtual scrapbook and a sampler of sounds to support various projects in the works. If there’s something you need that you don’t see here, email us and we'll get it for you.

Nita Faye Jones, the preacher's daughter, singing at a church in Oklahoma while Reverend Jones plays steel guitar.

I was raised on radio, singing for the first time at the age of three on my family's gospel program in Columbus, Georgia. All my life, our family was on the air. We were a band of gospel gypsies, traveling the Southern states. Daddy and Mother preached and sang and played several instruments and taught us kids to sing harmony, with the hope that we'd become little evangelists. This was the family business and we learned quickly that when children sang, the offering plates filled up faster.

During the long hours in the back seats of those old sedans, wedged against an accordion case, guitars and an amplifier, somewhere between Arkansas and Georgia and Texas and Louisiana and Oklahoma and Mississippi, I created a completely different life for myself in my mind, making up stories that took me to other places. Starting back then, everything revolved around words and music, and everything still does today.

After we moved to California, I switched from singing gospel to singing in night clubs, and I continued to perform for years. I kept writing and have always worked on the air in radio and television.

From time to time at this site, we'll post writing samples and notes about current projects. Right now, "The Glory Road" (see link on this website) is taking up big chunks of time, as the play moves toward production, and the book manuscript of the same name grows into a stack of pages so huge it will soon force me out of the house. Maybe then I will bring the book to a conclusion.
