About Me

My Oughta-Biography: I was born in Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY with a guitar in one hand and a harmonica in the other in 1947. I have successfully foiled every opportunity to be somebody in the entertainment industry. I've done about 30 records, a few motion pictures, a TV series, a book for little kids, started a few recording and production companies and two not-for-profit foundations. I've been in jail and I've been in love. I've been to almost every place except Newfoundland, and I hope to get there soon. I know every road and trail worth taking here in the US, including Alaska and Hawaii. I've spent over 40 years on the road discovering the rest of humanity and I'm still not proud or tired. I've made some friends along the journey and figure there's a few more yet to meet. I am happy to share what I don't know with anyone who doesn't expect anything from me. No judgement - no expectations. If you run with me you come at your own risk. I have no interests, hobbies, or goals except to outrun the truth that shadows my every move.Our websites: www.risingsonrecords.com or www.arlo.net

Sounds Like: Some folks are writing with questions, booking info, stuff requiring responses. You can't really get them through Myspace. If you need help or need to relay important information please contact real living human beings at Rising Son Records [[email protected]] or it may not get to me.Also, if you're one one of those folks sending promotional materials through Myspace, don't bother sending it here. At best it'll just get ignored, at worst you'll be blocked. For me this is just a great way to personally get to know and exchange greetings with real people.I won't do any business, send self promoting notices, tell you who is great or who to vote for, or search for the secret(s) of life through Myspace. Don't misunderstand, I would do all those things if I had the time or the interest, and have no problem with folks who want to use Myspace for those purposes. I just don't have a way to handle all that and still work for a living...Thanks for listening.... adg
