Random Baldwin...Random Jones

I was reading the blog of The Last Girl on Earth, drifted over to her website, drifted over to her pictures, looked at this picture, and wondered, "What ever happened to him?"

Find out.

Of course, some would argue that his contributions to music were impressive even BEFORE he joined the New Yardbirds:

The most underrated musician on the planet, John Paul Jones' credentials are staggering. His enormous contribution to music history traces back to his sessions days, working as a bass/keyboard player, arranger and musical director. The list of artists he was involved with features a wide range of British talent such as: Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, Donovan, Jeff Beck, Herman's Hermits and many more....

Since the early 1960s, John Paul Jones has been one of the hottest session musicians, recording with hundreds of groups. His contributions range from bass, keyboards and orchestral arrangements. Here's a brief sessionography of his work:
