About Me


Peace and love to all that find this.
I would hope that my music would inspire the listener to reflect on socially relevant issues. Change can only come if we make our voices heard! I feel that the worlds basic problem is that the "haves" do not realize that they are also one of the "have-nots". We are all one people, one voice, one brother and one sister.
Music has and always will be the medium we use to communicate with each other.
I hope that my music will inspire you to think about our world situation and provoke images of how it could be in a world without all the dirty little wars. The universe is music and I am only one of the many channels.
This is a recording session by myself @ a friends studio, Jules (or Bob as I call him). *** Have also added songs from WORLD FULL OF STRANGERS with the band. *** .
I am currently unemployed due to the construction, new home crisis, that is gripping this country. Thanks Mr. Prez! Tired of working for someone else and getting NO WHERE! Give the songs a listen, tell me what you think, pass it on to your friends. I’ve made my debut on the biggest stage in the world and believe me it’s scary as hell. I don’t even know what I’m doing but it’s getting there with the help of my wife and children. Yes, even though most of you who will find this probably don’t even have children yet!
My band is, The Baker Act. We have played together for many, many, many years. Some accl.. self-produced - WORLD FULL OF STRANGERS; Showcased @ The Southestern Music Conference;Local Public Radio - WMNF 88.5 FM (Best station around here); Too many benefits, bar gigs to name over the years. Just not playing in the bars no more! Sure, build a fan base with a bunch of drunks who want to hear, Freebird. We are working stiffs with families and lives. Our biggest gigs these days are usually @ Bill our drummers house.
Keep the faith, make your voices heard, for all of our sakes.
Love and Peace to you all,
John Clark
