"'WELCOME'" IT'S A LAND OF RYTHMN. A WORLD OF LOVE. A UNIVERSE OF ETURNITY. A VISSION OF OUR NEW SOCIETY. I'M NO PREACHER, AND I'VE NEVER CLAIMED TO BE. NOR AM I A VICTOM, THATS PLANE TO SEE.

DeVilbiss.-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------- DENNIS DEVILBISS WAS BORN 1972 IN PASS CHRISTIAN, MISSISSIPPI. HE WAS BORN AND RAISED BEING INFLUENCED BY SOULFUL, SOUTHERN SOUNDS. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY, MUSIC IS IN HIS BLOOD. HIS GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS A COUNTRY/BLUES, OLE SCHOOL, FRONT PORCH PICKER, FROM MISSISSIPPI. HIS FATHER WAS A SONGWRITER/MUSICIAN, ALSO FROM MISSISSIPPI. HIS FATHER WAS THE FIRST MUSICIAL INFLUENCE IN HIS LIFE. AS A YOUNG CHILD AND TEENAGER, HE WAS AROUND TALENTED MUSICIANS ALL THE TIME. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY, "IT RUBBED OFF". ALL HE DREAMED AS A CHID WAS TO BECOME A MUSICIAN AND SINGER. YOU SEE, DENNIS DEVILBISS HAS BEEN SINGING SINCE HE AND HIS FAMILY CAN REMEMBER. HE SPENT MOST OF HIS TIME AS A CHILD IN HIS BEDROOM, SINGING ALONG TO A 1975 PHONO PLAYER. SONG AFTER SONG, DAY AFTER DAY. SINGING ALONG WITH WHAT EVER ALBUM HE COULD GET HIS HANDS ON. HIS FAVORITE GROUP AS A CHILD WAS ERIC BURTON & THE ANIMALS"(GreatestHits), THEY RECORDED, "THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN". DENNIS BEGAN PLAYING PIANO BETWEEN THE AGE OF 11 & 12. DENNIS WROTE HIS FIRST SONG AT AGE 14. THE GUITAR CAME INTO HIS LIFE SHORTLY AFTER. *QUOTE FROM: D.DeVILBISS- " I'VE ALWAYS HAD A BURNING DESIRE TO WRITE & PERFORM. IT'S BEEN MY SOUL & SPIRIT. I'VE TAKEN SOME STRANGE ROADS ALONG MY WAY THAT HAVE PUT ME A LITTLE BEHIND SCHEDULE, AS FAR AS MY CAREER IS CONCERNED. BUT, I'VE DONE THE NASHVILLE THING. I'VE WRITTEN, RECORDED, & PUBLISHED MUSIC ON MUSIC ROW. I'VE TRAVELED ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES. I'VE DONE THE TRAVELING GYPSY, HOMELESS MUSICIAN BIT. I'VE PAYED ALOT OF DUES ALONG THIS MUSICIAL HIGHWAY. BUT, I HAVE NOT REACHED THE SUCCESS LEVEL I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF. WHAT I'M SAYING IS, "I AIN'T NO SUPERSTAR". BUT, I FEEL I HAVE REACHED A CERTAIN LEVEL AS A WRITER. I FEEL MORE & MORE INTOUCH WITH THAT INNER VOICE, WHICH I THINK PROVIDES A CHANNEL FOR THE CREATIVE VIBE. IT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING THAT ANGEL AND DEVIL ON EACH SHOULDER. THEY ARE ALWAYS IN CONFLICT. I AM QUALIFIED TO SING THE BLUES. I'VE LIVED IT. A HELL OF A PRICE TO PAY, TO SOMETIMES PLAY THE FOOL. THE ONLY WAY TO WRITE THE BLUES IS TO LIVE IT. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN "BLUES HEAVEN", MISSISSIPPI. IT'S MY BIRTH-RIGHT TO BE A BLUESMAN. ONLY DOWN SIDE TO THAT IS, MOST BLUES LEGENDS NEVER GET FAMOUS UNTIL THEY DIE. THEIR JOURNEY ON EARTH WAS CURSED WITH TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS. ALWAYS STRANDED AT THE CROSSROADS, CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE, WITH A PATH TO CHOOSE. THE DEVIL HOUNDS HIS TRAIL WANTING TO STEAL HIS SPIRIT, AND BUY HIS SOUL FOR ROCK & ROLL! THE BLUES/GUITAR LEGEND ROBERT JOHNSON WAS BORN IN MISSISSIPPI AND DIED IN MISSISSIPPI AFTER BEING POSIONED BY A GIRLFRIENDS JEALOUS X-BOYFRIEND, HE WAS 27 YEARS OLD. HE WAS RAISED IN THE DELTA. HIS BLUES MUSIC HAS INFLUENCED GUITAR PICKERS FOR DECADES. THEY SAY HE SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL TO BECOME THE MOST FAMOUS BLUESMAN THAT EVER LIVED. ACCORDING TO ARTIST'S SUCH AS ERIC CLAPTON, BUDDY GUY, BB KING & ALL THE GREATS AGREE ON ONE THING. ROBERT JOHNSON PLAYED GUITAR WITH MORE MAGIC THAN ANYONE ELES EVER! MY POINT IS HE NEVER BECAME WORLDLY FAMOUS UNTIL AFTER HE DIED. WHILE LIVING, HIS LIFE WAS HELL. FAR FROM FAMOUS. IT'S WHAT HE LEFT BEHIND. NOW, THE MAGIC OF IT ALL HAS MORE POWER THAN EVER. WHAT I'M SAYING IS THE STRUGGLE IS WHAT MADE HIM MAGIC AND A LEGEND. HIS MUSIC CAME THROUGH, LIKE A CHANNEL. BECAUSE HE WAS INTOUCH, BECAUSE OF THE STRUGGLE. MOST ARTIST DO NOT GET INTOUCH UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS,"I WRITE MY BEST STUFF WHEN THINGS AREN'T GOING THAT WELL IN MY LIFE. YEAH, THAT SUCKS SOMETIMES, BUT ITS THE TRUTH. FOR A WRITER TO BECOME MORE INTOUCH, HIS OR HER LIFE HAS TO BECOME DIFFICULT, TO A LEVEL.--------TO BE CONTINUED !!!!!!!!
