This is my cover of Fakateretere by Clint Mariteragi.  I really love the melody of the song and its translation really paints a good picture of the polynesian islands.

JK Jones picked up her brother's guitar before the age of 10, and studied classical flute in grade school. She won gold and silver medals for performance at the Los Angeles Unified School District Solo and Ensemble festival. She also performed as part of the Folksters group where she debuted her first Joni Mitchell covers.
   In college she began songwriting in earnest, joined a band, and played at various venues in the Bay Area, including on the radio, at coffee houses, private parties and weddings. 
      After a performance hiatus to raise a family and caretake her parents, JK returned to performing.  She sang at pops concerts, joined the Los Angeles Lawyers Philharmonic and Legal Voices Choir, with whom she sang at the Disney Concert Hall, Royce Hall and the Wallace Annenberg Theatre in Los Angeles. 
     In 2015 JK suffered a neck injury that changed everything. She fought to recover her voice.  After more than a year of intensive physical therapy and vocal retraining, she found new confidence and started rolling out her originals and Joni Mitchell covers at various open mics, on YouTube (@JKJonesmusic1), at the former Coffee Gallery BackStage, Lost Chord Guitars, Tarzana Community and Cultural Center, the Canyon Club, and she headlined a Joni Mitchell Tribute concert at the Stardust concert series in May 2023. She was recently invited to perform at a Joni Mitchell Tribute in British Columbia, Canada.
     JK was awarded a scholarship to attend the 2023 New England Singer Songwriters Retreat for her original “Sisters of Mercy” which will be on her first album expected to be released in Spring 2024.

Autumn Sunshine / My Grandfather's Guitar

My Grandfather's Guitar

-- All instruments in this song played by Guitar Andy --

Lyrics:

Run Away

Your first day in the office
You are off to a good start
Everyone is smiling at you
It's their welcome part

And you start to think hey
This could be a good place to stay

But soon you see the extra work
Piles up on your desk
They will give you more and more
You look a bit distressed

The storm is brewing outside
Not a long before you realize

It's time!

To run away today and never look back
To run away before 
They break your neck
Oh what a hack
Cut the chains
Let the freedom flows
Through your veins

La la la la la...

The world often runs
On it's own pace and beat
You learn like a cat
To land on your feet

When things are right no more
You better start looking for the exit door

Run away today and never look back
Run away before 
They break your neck
Oh what a hack
Cut the chains
Let the freedom flows
Through your veins

La la la la la...

Run away, do it today
Run away, and you'll be ok

Run Away

This song was written with the ukulele. It has vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin and a little piano over the top.

Rest In Chaos

A reminder that, like those before us, we all swim in the currents of events begun generations ago and that path to transforming our world starts with not giving in to the hardening of our hearts and souls.
