I started the JT30 page back around 1994 as an AOL web page. I hand coded the page using notepad and tested it using Netscape Navigator. I originally put the page up as an advertisement for modifying and repairing JT30 mics. I found that I did not have the time to keep up with the orders so I stopped doing that. I collected lots of information about JT30s, Amplifiers and playing amplified Blues.

At one point I shut the site down because I was getting so many emails and requests for information. I later started it up when the internet got larger and other people did the same kind of thing much better than I ever could.

In 1999 I registered the domain JT30.com.

I wrote a few music theory articles and tabbed out some simple riffs and I have been getting slow but steady traffic ever since. In recent years my life has become busy and other projects have taken up my time so I have not added very much to the site. I still play a little harp when I get a chance, but I never get to the jams and seldom find the time to go out to a show. I have tried to recruit guest bloggers, but so far there are only a few takers.

In a year or so I will retire and at that time I want to start working on the site again. I would like to tab out some of my harp favorites in greater depth like I did with Sonny Boy’s Help Me. I want to give some step by step instructions for some of the mic mods that I do. I want to document some of the odd things that I’ve done with harp tuning. It will have to wait until I no longer have to spend my time making a living in hard economic times.
