````When you have time please look into this matter concerning my father, Louis (Blues Boy) Jones. Eric Davis once was a member of The Texas Blues Project. Eric would travel to different places in the state of Texas and recognize Texas Blues Singers that had passed away by making sure that their graves had markings on them. A few year ago, he traveled down to Galveston Texas and visited my dad, Louis Jones' gravesite. Then Eric posted a picture of Jones' headstone and the location (markings) of his burial on that website. This was truly remarkable of him. Eric shared this information with me, that my father Louis Prince Jones is the first and only African American Blues Singer with a street named after him in the state of Texas. I want this information to be noted if this is factual. September 2014, I LaVern Jones Lemons (Jones' oldest daughter) requested the City of Galveston to name a street after my father because of his contributions to the Music Industry. Galveston Texas is Jones' hometown that he loved so much. Before my published book title The Re-Introduction of a Blues Legend was released; my Dad's music and legacy was being rediscovered by many people all around the world. People didn't know much about my father, there were no pictures of him and people didn't know where he was from. Any information regardless of the website worldwide; is information that I made known to the public via Internet. October 2014, I was invited twice to attend court at The Galveston City Hall (Galveston Texas). I had to gather my information and be prepared to stand and face City Council members (also The Planning Department) with my reasons for this request to have a street renamed after Jones. Some family members doubted that I would be able to accomplish this task and this possibly could take years. October 28, 2014 (my second visit), Galveston City Council members voted. There was 7 unanimous decisions YES and one outside person said YES. Then I was allowed to pick the street. I picked 37th Broadway Street because 909 37th Broadway, there still stands the old rental property in which my mother and father once lived. Also, my two brothers and I for many years spent the summers there with our late grandparents. Even greater news for Blues Boy Jones is Galveston City Council members named a second street after my father. I was totally caught of guard yet thankful beyond measure. This is quite and honor for Jones, his music and legacy. The street signs are up on Galveston Island. December 2014 the first was up Louis Blues Boy Jones 37t Sealy Street. January 2015 the second sign was up Louis Blues Boy Jones 37th Broadway Street. Please add this piece of history! Thank you...LaVernJoneslemons (talk) 19:47, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
