Get my cube or Create your own

http://www.randomlengthsnews.comI am actively promoting local shows, concerts, events and clinics in San Pedro California. I am doing this with my work at Random Lengths News, but I would like the message out beyond our port town.I have worked in and around music most of my life sometimes making concesions will all have to make in order to support a family. I have spent the last 20 years driving the Bus for the MTA in Los Angeles. Before that I worked in various sales jobs, Broadcasting, Promoting small concerts and my other big loves playing music and Radio. Oh yeah Can't forget the time I have spent as a random deadhead.The biggest love of my life is my princess bride. Along with my four beautiful childern who are now grown. these people who are so important to me that I dedicated my life to supporting them.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet like minded sprits, free souls who are independant and believe in common sense. Equally important would be to meet people who would like to change their living conditions, live and prosper in a world of their own making, with mentorship and kind guidance, creating a win-win scenario for everone.I would like to meet great writers of the past and present, as well as great song writer's and musician's of the same. Members of the JEFFERSON AIRPLANE,GRATEFUL DEAD,San Francisco Bands.ERIC BURDEN,60's British Bands.West Coast Bands.BOB DYLAN, John Prine, Dr.John,Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm.Irish Folky's.Great Soul singers like Solomon Burke, again too many to think of also blue eyed soul singers like Van Morrison and Bill Medley. Bluesman JOHN MAYALL and Country singer Willie Nelsen. John Scoffield,Richard Thomson,other Great Jazz And Acoustic Gutarists. Sam Bush and Iris Dement,Buddy Guy and Etta James.All The Clasical Cats Who Play With vengence and abandon with inthe frame work of orchestral charts Really this is tough, there are so many people that influnced me as a musician and a writer I can't really discern who be on this list. Any New Band that has good song writing chops and sense of history. Without knowing where you have been. It's hard to know where your going.
