About Me

I am James, some of you already know me, but to those that don't.....I'd like to get to know you!
Now we are turning a corner. Within the next 2 months I'll release my first official download. Dave Getz of Big Brother and the Holding Company is playing drums! Isn't that too much!!!
I need your support. Tell your Friends and Family about this.....The object is to generate enough income and interest to facilitate the creation of a touring band so I can bring the music, live, to you
Everyone on my Friends list is there for a reason. I don't just 'harvest' Friends like most bands do. I actually read the pages and pick people that seem to have it together and share a common thread. None of this is random.
I don't want to be rich or be a big rock star. I want to take this music and energy into the world and help create a forum that will bring people together.
Enough is enough of the same old trash that has been shoved down our throats for centuries.....Look at the sorry clowns trying to push this jive on us!
It's time for us to come together and create our own world, a new world, free from the sickness of those that cower in a failed past!
AND TO ALL OF YOU: PLEASE CONTACT OTHER FRIENDS ON THIS PAGE! THIS IS A TRIBE AND YOU ARE ALL IN IT!!
That is really what all this is ALL about is forming a Tribe. Around the world. A Tribe with no leader but Us.
I mean, wouldn't it be a gas for hundreds or thousands of you to go to a show and to have already talked to each other? Imagine a gathering of Friends and potential Friends and all the FUN we could have and the energy, communication and creativity that could be shared !!!!
AND, there are some things developing on the horizon that would indicate THE BEST IS DEFINITELY YET TO COME!!
STAY TUNED!
Peace/Love
James..
