MySpace Layouts

MySpace Layouts MySpace Codes MySpace Backgrounds WHEN PLAYING MUSIC I AM CONNECTING TO THE SACRED AND WHAT COMES OUT IS AN EXPRESSION OF MY SOUL. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EGO, PRIDE, MONEY OR FAME, EACH NOTE IS A DIAMOND AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC BECAUSE A "C" NOTE IS A "C" NOTE WHETHER BLUEGRASS, BOSSA OR HIP-HOP, SOUL, FUNK, CLASSICAL or the BLUES - Music cannot be confined to a style - it's either good or bad, period. It either moves you or it doesn't, style has nothing to do with it, it's about SOUL, HARMONY and GROOVE. Collaboration and expansion is the key to the evolution of sound, I believe we are in a revolution of new music and talent that is really exciting, lots of expansion and collaboration between styles and artists and independent expression of that. There are so MANY talented musicians in the world right now, people you have never heard of but the Universe has! And that's the purpose - to play to yourself = The Universe. What will be, will be....NEVER FORGET WHERE YOU'VE COME FROM AND WHAT THAT MEANS, STAY HUMBLE, FOLLOW YOUR PASSION AND HAVE COMPASSION FOR ALL! I did not write any of these songs - only played harp, I give full credit to each musician under "Band Members" Myspace automatically gives the owner of the page credit under the song, I do not intend to mislead anybody as to the origin or creator of the songs - I'm just the HARP PLAYER - period.... LOVE, PEACE AND HARMONICAS - KEEP LAUGHING OR YOU MIGHT CRY!!!

American Idol

Yay! Music with a soul and edge won out! There is hope - cuteness is great and sells - but it ain't MUSIC!

Music Ego

I try really hard to leave my ego behind when playing music with other musicians. I try to become part of the whole process instead of the process. Lately I have been dealing with people and their ego...

American Music Awards

While I am not a big fan of awards shows I did like the music that was performed the other night at the American Music Awards. It seems that finally, hip-hop has been absorbed by Pop, R&B and Soul AND...
