About Me

"The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life" Job 33:4

My name is James, aka Jimi, hitch or Pinchy. I work as a Features Producer for a Christian radio station, and love what i do. I love music and enjoy playing guitar to the many styles of which it encompases. Im a bit of a nerd, a bit of an artist, and a bit of a muso. Im currently recording and trying to write a fairly eclectic "album" of sorts...if you could call it that. I'm a bit of a day dreamer that is constantly pondering guitar riffs, movie scores and any other progressive ditties that this world can inspire in me. I miss my beautiful dog who departed from us last Decemeber, but we will be reunited again in heaven my friend, and frolick through the fields with boundless joy as we once did. I pretty much live my life like my unplugged gigs - its a little rough, missing a few notes and harmonies here and there, the stage lights can get hot, the atmosphere is friendly, and i love to do it (nerves and all).
Also, a thought on poverty: Poverty of 1.3 billion people is "the outcome of a process. That process is not random or unintended: it is the direct result of mechanisms that enrich some as surely as they impoverish others. As such, it is the outworking of the power of some over others, and it is the nature of that relationship - of the powerful over the powerless - that distributes wealth to the former at the expense of the latter". (Charles Elliot)
