About Me

I am the parent of two great children, 1 girl, 1 boy, 13 and 11 respectively, and I have them for a week at a time, every other week. They are a joy, and a blessing, and sometimes a big PIA. I do live sound engineering for my church, companies, clubs/bars, promoters, and artists/bands with my own equipment and that of others. I am a commuting cyclist on my non-kid weeks, and some on their weeks. I am also a musician of sorts, mostly the acoustic guitar in my living room sort, your classic singer/songwriter stuff, though I am playing the electric again, and thinking band. I used to be an air-cooled Volkswagen specialist, doing restorations for almost eight years. So it's the freelance lifestyle. There you have it in a very small nut shell, especially for a nut this big. PEACE! www.jbrittersound.comI also have a site for my music. http://www.myspace.com/jablesritter

Changing ways

Time takes it's toll as the years they roll, and my mind goes dull,I feel some change in some range, that turns to strange,Events of consequence through circumstance, or decadence,Left at the light st...
