Not sure who the "sir" is-- but I do vaguely recall a band by that name. 
If it's the same band I'm thinking of, I thought were from Augusta 
Maine, circa 1970, and played Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts in 
1970-1971. I recall there were about 8 or 9 members.  Or was there a 
different band with that name?  As for the Jones Boy, as I recall, that 
was a "house name," and several deejays occupied it, none of them named 
"Bill Jones" in real life, as far as I know.  However, one of the guys 
who was The Jones Boy on WMEX was also on WKBR in Manchester. And yes, 
various of the WMEX deejays did host record hops in the Nashua area in 
the mid-1960s. Perhaps others know the names of some of the guys who 
played "Bill Jones" on WMEX.
