I have written many songs through the years. These particular songs are taken from an album I wrote and recorded called (TOWARDS THE SUN) .Like your- selves I work with a close friend .While I do the song writing, singing and acoustic guitar playing ,he backs me up playing electic guitar ,bass guitar,slide guitar and synthesizer.Not to mention he records and mixes everything. His name is Joseph Werner.The reason we don’t call our selves ( The Jim and Joe Show) is because Joe is also active in another band, which is called (Fat Fox) .So sometimes I perform alone and sometimes I perform with Joe. This depends on his busy schedule .Here is the information you requested.: 1. band name / James Monahan 2. part of world / New England ; western Massachusetts ; near Northampton which is not too far from Emily Dickinson ‘s house. 3. email address/( www.monahanjf@ comcast.net) 4. listeners contact information/ (www.myspace.com/jamesmonahanlive) and (www.jamesmonahanlive .com) 5. recommended tracks/ track one (Portrait Of Youth) and track five (In My Heart And In My Soul) 6( All written by James Monahan (c) 2006)Til we meet again; James Monahan
