About Me

hello ma name is jon swain and i enjoy playing, listening, and making music. (go figure) i have been many types of bands, jazz, upbeat reggae, folk rock, hard rock, hardcore, electronic, pop, punk, bluegrass groups, i like to play music with many different musicians and unlike a lot of people in bands i like to develop my guitar playing more than anything. i love playin jazz cuz it makes me feel good inside and is very challenging. i recently was accepted to the classical guitar program at ipfw and look forward to this coming semester. i feel like it will expand me in every aspect of my playing, especially repotoire and music reading!! i look forward to getting back into school even though i really really miss playin with saints never surrender, cuz it was fun, and those dude rule soooo hard. i gotta go my own way and float in which direction feels right at the moment. i'm a drifter you might say. i've been attending first assembly of god for about a month now and am really enjoying everything they have done for me. i hit a point in my life not too long ago where i'm really realizing things i'm doing wrong, things i'm doing right, things i shouldn't be doing, things i should be doing, and how to fix spots in my life that really need change. i realize now that you cant make everything perfect, but you can try. and while you try, enjoi every step of life, cuz god only gave you one short one on earth. so enjoi it and try to live thru him!!!!
