Gulp, gulp, gulp, hiccup. Sure don't! We're gonna need another batch of these!
Made some toast this morning and attempted to carve Jay's face into one. Not good. So I decided to do his other parts. It was so much fun I have plenty to share...

All kinds of parts, SG...I happen to think most of his parts are amazing; legs so perfect they regenrate when blown off...a face so beautiful, it reverts back to it's original likeness the first chance it gets...and dimples attached to a smile so genuine and full of warmth...and yes, possibly other even more spectaular things that I need to get a role as his gal to find out about, but can imagine. Oh my, did I actually say that? Ok, I need a bucket here...

Five Random Facts
—Originally auditioned for the role of Brady, but was cast as Philip instead.
—Grew up in the same Missouri town as Brad Pitt, just around the corner from one another. They share other connections, too. John Aniston, Johnson's on-screen father, is also Pitt's former off-screen father-in-law.
—DAYS fans were so heartbroken when he left the show previously that they hired a plane trailing a "Good Luck" banner to fly over the studio on his last day.
—Off-screen, he is the polar opposite of Philip. His friends even say he's "too nice," and he agrees.
—In his spare time, he is the lead singer in the band Solid Jones.

That's great info sportsgirl. I knew he had a band. I googled Solid Jones and here's what I found. It looks like it hasn't been updated in a while. Bio Jay Kenneth Johnson and Bryan Powers began their collaboration in Springfield, Missouri around 1993 when Jay was selected as singer for a band Bryan was already playing in. The band, who's members along with Powers included Dave Harp and Ben Reisenberg, was called Funkey Shmidt then, but even at ages 14 and 15 they thought it sounded a little silly. The band was renamed Solid Jones when Ben the bass player came to practice one day after having a conversation with his older sister about what the worst jones was. She said a "solid jones" and the name stuck. Most of Solid Jones' music was funk based with influences from Parlament/Funkadelic to The Red Hot Chili Peppers. On some tunes Bryan would write the music and Jay would fit in the lyrics. On other tunes Jay would go to Bryan with a melody and he would fit in the guitar. In the early days of Solid Jones, Ben Reisenberg was an integral part of the songwriting team as well. Jay and Bryan collaborated on many songs including Success, Trained Specialist, Superbad, Microscopic Funk, King of the World, Deal With It, Simple Event, Pull the Covers and Under the Weather plus numerous others that have never been recorded. Ben left the band out of High School in '95 and was replaced by George Cadillo on bass until Solid Jones parted in 1997 as the band members went their own separate ways. Bryan left Springfield in Jan. '98 to go to recording school at the University of Memphis where he graduated with a Music Business Degree. Bryan is credited with playing in many bands including "Shady, Grady and Boy" in Springfield with frontman Jim Deer (www.jimmydeluxe.com) and drummer Dirty Dave. Fausto was his first Memphis band that consisted of his Hi-Tone business partner Dave Green and frontman Terry McClain (www.therealside.com). National Tuesday was the last official Memphis band though he continues to make guest appearances with Red Snapper, members of Speakeasy (www.speakeasy.com) and a number of other bands. Jay moved to Los Angeles in 1999 to pursue an acting career. After doing guest spots on S CLub 7 and The Young and the Restless, he quickly landed the role of Philip Kiriakis on the NBC soap Days of Our Lives. While Jay became a popular and successful daytime favorite, he never abandoned his passion for his music. Feeling the need for an outlet for his music Jay called Bryan, and in October 2001, the band reunited to record their first CD. They actually re-recorded it in full length. They had a popularly played song (Success) on the St. Louis based radio program, Made by Midwest in 1994 that was recorded by Joel Gradinger (one of the engineers on the new record) as well as Trained Specialist and Superbad. The album, which completed in February 2002, was recorded at The Demohouse (Bryan and Joel's studio) in Memphis and mixed at Ardent Studio (www.ardentstudios.com). Bryan Powers played both bass and guitar along with background vocals with Jay Kenneth Johnson on lead vocals and "Dirty" Dave Harp on drums. Other musicians credited on the album are Rick Steff on organ (formerly with Hank Williams, Jr.), Pete Matthews on trumpet and additional background vocals (Evanescence, Echo 7), Kevin Houston on Sax and Dave Green on percussion. Jay and Bryan are currently working on a new CD set to be released in March of 2005. It will be under a different name. Their music has progressed and will be much different from Solid Jones. This new album is definitely going to be something to look forward to. Bryan presently lives in Memphis and owns the Hi-Tone Cafe, a very popular music venue in mid town Memphis. Jay is currently in Hawaii filming North Shore, a new TV series that will premiere on June 14 on Fox. From: www.fearofablankplanet.com/artists/rock/90s_rock/solid_jones_solid_jones.html |

North Shore? I admit I don't get to watch much TV but I haven't heard about this show. Anybody got the scoop? (Presumably the locale means some/many shirtless scenes???)
