Didn't had no musik to my song. always wanted to play the piano, but never had a chance to even touch one much less of playing one. So I write song, sing then sometimes, people thinking I'm crazy, always making up songs and singing on the street. till long after in my twenties, twenty seven or eight. My Lady at that time always hearing me saying, I'll buy me a guitar everyday but I never do. On I birth day that year, she went out and got I, I first guitar and that's where it all started. I pick up the guitar and never put it down it's been my friend, my love, my joy carry I through I hard time, been with I in good times, I feel lost when I don't play her as often as I will like. these strings, notes and cords keep us all alive and well. ............................................................ ......................................................JAHKEN first hit single (LET THERE BE LOVE) off the album KEEP I IN THY SIGHT, RASKEN on the DUB.
