Within days of the 2.0 upgrade, Jerry was blogging like a champ, sharing photos and his thoughts on the whirlwind TV show experience. He and Jules christened "JBJB Studio 1" by laying down some tracks -- this time with grade-A digital equipment -- for "Goin' to The Playground." After learning to use her custom-made jewelry website, Sue was commissioned to create an engagement ring, by a gentleman in the UK who saw her episode on the web and tracked her down!

The Buckleys' tiny tube TV and VCR (remember those?) were replaced with a 47" HDTV and booming surround sound. 6-year-old Julia's terminally sick PC was replaced with a spry Apple MiniMac. And Sue and Jerry each got their own space upstairs -- she took over the other half of the room as a networked jewelry staging area, while Jerry got a seldom-used spare bedroom for JBJBs World Headquarters, fully stocked with the latest in digital recording tools.

Jerry Buckley has been writing and playing music since he was 14, and his wife Sue is a talented jewelry designer. Both of them had to put their artistic ambitions on the back burner, though, once daughter Julia was born in 2001. Jerry works from home as a graphic designer, and shared a crowded upstairs space with Sue's jewelry workshop. This same room also served as a recording space for The JBJBs -- a fun music group comprised of Jerry and his 6-year-old daughter -- that is, when their squeaky, old, analog tape recorder was actually working.
