"Hello there, come on in..."

Welcome to my humble blog.

Please, make yourself at home. Can I get you a cup of tea?

Starting these things is alway the hardest part. It's bad enough when I'm writing an article, or even a letter for that matter. I have been to known to blankly stare at emails for up to half an hour, willing the first few words into existence.

So I thought the best thing to do would be to invite you all round for a chat, to let you know what this blog is going to be about.

Biscuit anyone?

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Jon. Each week I plan to update you on what's happening in the world of the three things my life revolves around: Blues music, art and books. It is likely to be in that order. Not least of all because I have an Editor at the magazine Blues in Britain who likes to send me CDs to review. But there will be plenty more than just that. There will probably also be the odd insight into the unfurling of my life.

Feel free to comment on anything you see or read here, and to contact me if you want me to tell me about something you're doing or just fancy a chat.

So that's what you have to look forward to. Now you know where I am, feel free to pop in any time you like.
