About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I'I'm m a songwriter and artist. Enjoy the songs that I've written. The process is a lonely journey with a colorful endnotes but the music is what it is..... Enjoy the raindrops of notes left on the page with the dew of the lyrics written on the fallen leaves.ORIGINAL STONE;;;;; Despite what some folks think from the Jagger camp, I've reposted this song by folks telling me to get the magic back up on the internet .CROSS THE RIVER: A song about how we all get wet from LIVING life and the experiences that we get from the good and the bad.Deep Water:::: Originally it was written as a solo guitar song with lyrics but arranger/producer Rocky Jr did some magic. The song is about the stuff that happens in life underneath all the obvious things, but things you can't see.MORNING CROON; MORNING CROON;;;; Originally written for country rocker Arron Prichett ,,,,, But once it hit the studios for adding on instrumentations at Darold's Dragonville Studios -- the song took on a magic of its own. Arranger Darold.QUEEN OF HOLLYWOOD;; The ups and downs of dating a Hollywood musician. Again a great arrangement done by Darold Hope on this Rocker.LUV Y:::: LUV Y;;;; A song about the moment we touch the bliss in our soul; romance meets head to head; eyes to eyes; with the girl of your dreams. Written for a former girlfriend on Vancouver Island.

Band Members: Each song of the solo CD "Cupidville" is a member of the group. The CD Cupidville was written in the confines of Hugo Ray Park in West Vancouver. Many a nite out on the balcony or in my room looking up at the stars and wondering about where my past lovers and dreams went. So I wrote about life concepts, past loves and current ones, too. 15 original tunes, with 5 of the songs making the daylite to the public at MYSPACE. (In addition, a special THX U to Erika Moore for putting up with the constant practicing at her home residence.) It wasn't supposed to happen -- the writing of songs; Songwriting came very late in my life. I like to thx my mum for the encouragement from heaven. Dirtman from Power 104 in K Town. I hope you enjoy the music that i've put on this page. Gord Jantzen on all guitars and vocals...... Enjoy the notes; embrace the music .
