ISAAC's Story
Update
Retired life has been pretty good. We're not rich, but we get by.
I was playing in three bands for a while. 8 Balls imploded last summer, but is reconstituting as The Remnants. I quit Let It Roll. The Deep Woods Band is still going, and has several shows scheduled for this spring and summer.
1April2022
I was laid off from Hewlett Packard in September 08. qualified for federal financial aid, so I'm back in college, studying electrical engineering technology at Portland Community College. I had to quit the Deep Woods band. I just can't make it to rehearsals.
21 May 2009
Graduated from PCC in 2010, but never did find a job in the biomedical field, which was my goal. I got a job with a company in Tualatin in 2011. Eventually, I got tired of living away from home, so I decided to retire. In 2012, I toured as bass player with a reggae/funk band from Louisiana, Henry Turner, Jr. and Flavor. I'm back with the Deep Woods Band, and I'll be flying to Louisiana in May to rejoin Henry turner, Jr. and Flavor for the Summer tour.
February 2013
The past couple of years have been spent mostly playing bass guitar with The Deep Woods Band, 8 Balls and, more recently, Let It Roll. The Deep Woods Band is working on our first studio album, Trouble in the Woods. We hope to have it finished this year.

Life
Went to college in Ashland off and on for a few years, played bass professionally for another few, go...Expand for more
t married (to a girl from Grants Pass! Originally from California!), then joined the Navy. Saw more of the world, and had two beautiful daughters. Retired from the Navy in 1997, and am now working for Hewlett Packard in Corvallis, and playing in another band, the Deep Woods Band. The more things change, the more they stay the same!
Elixxer has bit the dust. My daughters are off to university, in Ashland. I'm currently playing with the Deep Woods Band, but we haven't been playing very often. 16Dec2006
College
I majored in music at SOSC, but took a fair amount of science as well. Dropped out, went back, dropped out again. Eventually joined the Navy, and finished a degree in Sociology before I retired.
Now, I work as a maintenance technician. Go figure.
Workplace
I spent some time as a professional musician, even did some singing telegrams. then, I joined the Navy. After I retired from the Navy, I went to work for Hewlett Packard, where I currently work on laser cutting machines.
What I'm really pleased with, though, takes me full circle. I put out a CD in 2004, available on CDBaby. "The Seduction of Josephine," by Isaac Jones.
UPDATE: 8 July 2025
The Deep Woods Band has morphed into The Divine Wind Brotherhood, a surf and surf adjacent band. We play a lot of the old classic surf tunes, and have been writing some of our own. Also playing with Wild Animals, out of Dallas, Oregon.
