I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My music is posted @ www.myspace.com/mtnbch Mountain Beach Enterprises. Meet my friends. Read my blog. Listen to my music. Eat some musubi. If you still don't get it, email me. I'll give you the full story. You can also hit my "official" site: www.jimiyamagishi.com. Because so many of my band friends were starting to post INSANELY HUGE HTML gigflyers on my comments, I had to block that stuff...as much as I wanted to keep it on. You can post that to any of my other pages, but I just have too many friends here now & it really slows access down. Please don't be offended, you're welcome to leave text okay? :)

My Interests

I'm here to help musicians make a difference & find their maximum potential. If you ask the friends that keep adding onto my list, most will tell ya that. So I'm interested in helping YOU. I also love t' cook, play guitar, record, build guitars & VW's (aircooled), do anything creative, write songs, produce, eat, & hava good time hangin' with my wife & kids...so why the heck am I wasting time here?!!!

I'd like to meet:

if yur into guitars, music, aircooled VW's ('specially type II's) good food & interesting stuff, I'm there. & if you're a musician that understands that if you stop learning you must be dead, I can help you move forward. If you're a kind, generous, loving & caring person that will throw millions of dollars at me so I can keep helping others, that would also be nice. Even without the money.

Music:

ALL INDIE! I believe every person has a voice, & every song has a value. If you send me A CD I promise to listen, & if I like it, I'll write a review that you can use & it usually gets posted to a local arts newspaper here too. My heart is in R&B, but I write lots stuff in all genres, & listen to everything from crunk to country, Motorhead to Mozart GO TO MY LABEL page: www.myspace.com/mtnbch You can hear some of my stuff there!

Movies:

No starring roles yet. If you're casting, I'm here.

Television:

I Like to watch...

Books:

Green eggs & ham is a classic that says it all. It's a tome about tolerance, evangelism, artistry, creativity, persistence, marketing, globalization, & cuisine all at once! It's also the roots of rap & I refer to it often.

Heroes:

Might be you. So live right & without regrets. :)
