While on ItsAboutMusic the CD enjoyed great reviews and internet airplay. The hits were Today is Forever, Stack the Deck Blues and A Dream Within a Dream. Living Room Records also produced 'American Folkie' -another live project which many people around the world heard thru airplay/ Poetman Records aka Rainbow Sampler. ( a compilation to over 1000 radio stations worldwide) Josh Ellyson was the logical choice for Mad at the Live Greek. It was recorded on a cold Saturday in January at the Mad Greek in the Beaverton Rock Creek area. It reemerged while going through archives sounding as fresh and current today as it did then.

For an up scale Irish wedding. PRESS~'Jones presents a milestone recording with Mad At The Live Greek. All tunes are eminently ear worthy. The last cut 'A Dream Within A Dream' enters more deeply into the river of sound and motion that is characteristic in much of Jones's work.' 'Lew Jones is a guitar player who ranks well.'-P.E. K.T.
