About Me


FRIEND REQUESTS--SEE BLOG ABOVE...THX!

DELAYED REPLIES -- Big Brother at work blocks MySpace, and my free time at home is very limited, so it will take some time for me to reply to comments, messages, etc. To reach me faster, email me at [email protected]. Salude!

Thanks to Nan for my profile pic!

When I'm not fixing large enterprise storage systems that might hold your credit card data, voicemail/email, etc., I'm supporting local live music. Throughout MySpace, you'll come across lots of musicians from all genres. My personal interest is in jambands. Why? The vibe is very positive and friendly, and they allow the taping, or recording, of live shows for sharing with others.

That's the main purpose of my MySpace: to help spread the word about these artists and share the music with those who would like to hear it. You'll see a list of bands on the lower left of my profile page under the Music section. Check 'em out when you have some time. The band names link to their specific home pages where you'll find their upcoming show dates, some tunes to check out, photos, and in most cases links to forums where you can chat with the artists and their fans.

Want some CDs to crank in your car, home, at work? No problem! Most of the artists I've listed allow the trading or free distribution of their recorded shows. I'll gladly burn shows of these artists for you as part of a trade (for legally tradeable music you have i.e. from bands that allow their music to be traded) or as part of a B&P (blanks and postage sent by you to me, which I return to you once burned). Have questions? Just let me know. Trading and/or B&Ps is a fantastic way to get your hands on hot local music as well as national acts for CHEAP! What are you waiting for? Check out the artists and see what you like!

Besides taping, I'm an amatuer web designer. Some old web sites I haven't updated in a long while are below. The first one is horrible as far as formatting goes, just a simple, functional listing of pages with pics. The second one has some better look and feel to it but does need some updated content. A new web site for my live show recordings, taperjay.com, is just getting off the ground . There you can listen to and download entire shows in MP3 format for your PC or MP3 player!
