Joseph Albert "Jo-Jo" Reyes (born November 20, 1984 in West Covina, California) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball. Listed at 6'2", 230 lb., Reyes bats and throws left-handed.
Reyes was drafted by the Atlanta Braves out of Riverside Polytechnic High School in the second round (43rd overall) of the 2003 MLB Draft. He spent his entire first professional season in the Gulf Coast League. In 10 starts with the Gulf Coast Braves, Reyes went 5-3 with a 2.56 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 45.0 innings pitched. He allowed just one home run all season.
With Class-A Rome in 2004, Reyes struggled most of the season, going 2-5 with a 5.33 ERA. Tommy John surgery kept him out for the end of the year and the first half of the 2005 season. He was sent back to the GCL in 2005, and after doing well received a mid-season promotion to Class-A Danville. While his strikeout total fell (27 in 43 innings), he went 3-0 with a 3.53 ERA and posted a WHIP of 0.99, but a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ended his season prematurely.
Tommy McCook (3 March 1927 – 5 May 1998) was a Jamaican saxophonist. A founding member of The Skatalites, he also directed The Supersonics for Duke Reid, and backed many sessions for Bunny Lee or with The Revolutionaries at Channel One Studios in the 1970s.
McCook was born in Havana, Cuba, and moved to Jamaica in 1933. He took up the tenor saxophone at the age of eleven, when he was a pupil at the Alpha School, and eventually joined Eric Dean’s Orchestra.
In 1954 he left for an engagement in Nassau, Bahamas, after which he ended up in Miami, Florida, and it was here that McCook first heard John Coltrane and fell in love with jazz. McCook returned to Jamaica in early 1962, where he was approached by a few local producers to do some recordings. Eventually he consented to record a jazz session for Clement "Coxson" Dodd, which was issued on the album as "Jazz Jamaica". His first ska recording was an adaptation of Ernest Gold’s "Exodus", recorded in November 1963 with musicians who would soon make up the Skatalites.

Now here's the situation, it's not very clear
Why so many seem to disappear today
There must be an answer, we must find a way
Before we lose another Jo-Jo
Now funny how no one seems to know a thing
Every time somebody comes a missing
Now just like Jo-Jo, if you can hear me
Please give me a sign, let me know you're alright
Are you lonely Jo-Jo out there on your own?
You can always come back, Jo-Jo
Are you lonely Jo-Jo? You're running outta time
Such a crazy world, Jo-Jo
Family situation, it stands very clear
Why so many children choose to leave their homes today
Don't know who to turn to, got no where to go
First thing that comes to mind is Jo-Jo
Funny how no one seems to know a thing
Now every time somebody comes a missing
Now just like Jo-Jo, if you can hear me
Please give me a sign, let me know you're alright
