Sad News-Phil Jones passes away

My dear friend and former Poobah bassist/vocalist, Phil Jones (he played on the first 3 Poobah albums) ,passed away yesterday morning (March 9th), after a battle with cancer. Phil was the original bassist for the band.
I am very sad to announce this about my good friend, and former 10 year road traveling partner. He will be missed.
He was an awesome musician, and contributed some great parts to the Poobah catalog. Phil's bass playing and vocal parts on" Let Me In", "US Rock ", and "Steamroller" were outstanding.
He also appeared on several songs on "Rock Collection", and "Switch On".He left the band shortly before Jim Gustafson moved to West Virginia. He recorded as a guest on a few more songs , and played the occasional live show with Poobah, including two appearances at the Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, at the Goldmine National Record Show.
Phil's last appearance with Poobah was July 31st,2005, in Youngstown, Ohio. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Paula.

On Sunday the show was inside the Rock Hall Museum 4th floor theatre,(where MTV films their concerts) and Poobah rocked, and was filmed. At the end of the set Poobah was once more joined onstage by Joe Bouchard again !!! Also,Dennis Dunaway from the original Alice Cooper band played a great set with his new band.
