About Me


I'm an independent singer-songwriter from the Austin, Texas area taking my career by the horns and marketing my music peer to peer. Check out my music: http://www.burnlounge.com/johnarthurAdvanced recordings of my Tejas album are available exclusively at my BurnLounge store. The studio roughs features my great band with Ron Knuth on the fiddle and mandolin, Chris Reeves on the Spanish and electric guitars, B.B. Morse on the bass, Kevin Hall on the drums and yours truly, jam, on the Collings and Takamini guitars, percussion and lead vocals.
A. You can simply buy the album for 9.99 or individual tracks for 99 cents.
B. You can own your own BurnLounge store for $29.95 a year.
C. Or, you can actually become a partner with me and my BurnLounge business. As the world moves from tangible products like CDs to digital products available through downloading centers like BurnLounge, we're in the position to place ourselves at the forefront of an extraordinary busniness opportunity.

My Interests

Reading Mike Blakely historical fiction, writing phrases that rhyme and mean something, hitting tennis balls under the Texas sun, relaxing at the beach with my wife Yvonna, playing golf with honorable folks like my band, watching the sun set with my daughters Mariah, Aubrie & Falon, taking a walk with my dog Taffy, talking music with my son Ryan, eating carne guisada, rice and beans at my Mom's house--yes these are a few of my interests.

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to meet Jimmy Carter and Colin Powell and have a cup of morning coffee and discuss how we can make the world a better place to live! I'd like to meet Kris Kristoferson and Bob Dylan over a cold beer and talk about Hank Williams.
