Jones about his experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, and about some of the meaning that got made in his life during a difficult time. (5:05) Robert B. Jones honors his grandmother through sharing her story, and because it’s Reverend Jones, you can bet that at least part of the story will be told through the blues.
