Yes, Jones played quite a bit of harp in the early days. I saw him many 
times. Remember, this was at the height of the "blues-revival" in the 
early 1960's in England, when everyone played. My favorite from the time 
was Paul Jones, who went on to form the Blues Band.

Remember also, that at this time most players blew through the PA system 
and not a dedicated amplifier, hence the somewhat "thin" sound.
