I live in Wales, UK and I was interested to find that Isham  Jones's family
might have come from Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales.  I  wonder if anyone
has any further information about Ishams welsh roots.  He  wrote so many
fine
songs.

Jeff, you can also contact drummer Rusty Jones in Chicago. He is the nephew
of Isham Jones, if I'm not mistaken, but certainly a close relative of his.
Great guy, I had him at my festival in Hungary in 1993 and met him again in
Chicago in 1997. I don't know much about him now but as far as I know, he
is still active. Chicagoan musicians (Paul Asaro, Russ Philips etc.) should
be able to provide contact data to Rusty.
