Jam with your host eternal: Hash Brown. C'mon now, support him! Without him, a lot of what we have in this town wouldn't be here and if anyone 's paid the "Dues", say no more...
Thank you Koichi , for your music and the time you've spent with us...
We'll have tea again soon...


Some of the stuff I listen to at this time ...


Check out these kids in the video below. Fun!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/20/2006
Band Members: Most of the time with Perry Jones.

I always love when Pat Moss is in town.
Seems he accelerates my learning curve...

I'm also very happy to have Cameron with us. He has contributed much and I have a lot of fun when I'm on the deck with him.

Otherwise I'm hangin' at the Jams with Hash, Pete Barbeck and Jackie Don.

Some 'o the folks I run into a lot: Kenny Barker, Texas Slim, Todd Parsnow, Richard Chalk, Lewis, Cheryl, Mr. D, Lance, Tutu, Mike McCullough, Tony Crawford, Mark Austin, James Curtis and many more...

Y'all check out Joe Jonas with Anson at the HOB while you can.

Influences: Earliest influences came through my older cousin who introduced me to Artie Shaw's music. Listened to many other Big Bands until I found Ray Charles - Aretha Franklin - Albert, BB, Freddie King - Sam 'n Dave - Wilson Picket and many more. Through Alexis Korner, John Mayall and the early Stones, I started to become aware of Robert Johnson - Elmore James - Muddy Waters - John Lee Hooker -Albert Collins and so on. It wasn't until I came to live in the States that I learned who Buddy Guy - Little Walter - Lil Milton and many others were. There's much left for me to discover...

Sounds Like:

This is the Argument Room?



Depends on who I've been listening to recently... (grins)
Record Label: GlenMorangie and if I'm out, any good single malt
Type of Label: Major

Drown in my own tears

Tomorrow, I have to do the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I am forced to give up my parental rights to my three girls or face being sued (yet) over and over again until I am destitute. I have re...
