Beginning in eastern North Carolina, Howard Jones has always chased after worlds that don't yet quite exist. Often quixotic tilting at ‘wish-mills’ has led him, Grasshopper-like, through song writing, image making, writing, learning and teaching, academic professing, entrepreneurial adventure and committed evasion of actual Ant-ward responsibilities. He has yet to decide what, beyond living in the mountains of northeastern Tennessee, he wants to do when he grows up.
