OK.. Well not exsactly. But they are leaving. It'll just be me again like so many times before. That won't slow me down tho , in fact it may be just what I needed. I've got alot of work ahead of me this year. My album is schedualed to be released on June first.
My bassist knocked up my keys player so I'll be solo'n it for a while.
My classes are goin' good. I have 4 new students and I've started some classes for the very beginners. That's that so I gotta be going. See ya later.

Well, how are things in your part of the world? Strangely optomisitic round here. I have turned down a job that would earn about 4800 bucks a month for a job that pays 400. What a fool you must be saying.. Frankly, as I am writing this I would have to agree. Nonetheless, I chose to teach beginner guitar at the local music store. I'm pretty excited about it though. I instantly realized how little I actualy know.
Another exciting thing about this is that there are talks of bass and drum lessons to come. That would be a first for this area. I think that it will be good for the kids in this place. I just hope that I'm up to it with everything else I'm involved in.
This recording thing is taking it's tole .. again I realize that I don't know shit as an engineer. Time will tell. My band is going on hiatus so I'll be stuck pulling my own head off....
My van has a starky wire, so I'm half-ass stranded.. but if I constantly hold in on the blinker switch than it will stay running... (W ! T ! F !) is up with that?!?!?....
Untill the next time... .. From me to you,
Peace and good will;
James.

Hello everyone.,
Well, it,s been a while. First I would like to announce that we got a song online at
http://www.songramp.com/homepage.ez?Who=soul%5Fshadow76 .
It is called "One Door Room". It just an old rehersal tape with our old drumer. My vocals are lousy cause it was a new song then. You'll kind'a get an idea what we sound like tho' so check it out and give us a vote.
Because of the way the internet is, we gotta get some quality recordings up so we can do alot more business without being embarrast by the thing,heh. So we got a lead on some drumming prospects... if anything comes of them then I'll let you know and we'll definitely get better stuff online.
That's about it for now, take care -I'm out..*

It is the calm before the storm ...
The weary rest scilently in the dawn of a revolution. The Quest for progress....!
haha.. I dunno bout all that but, I got a new mic & boom stand.. so I can trash that broomstick & milkcrate I was useing for good.!!!
Oh yea.. had a brush with the law on halloween.. I got way too trashed and when we got pulled over I was in the back seat, well, as fate would have it started blowin' chunks all over myself... Well the smokies made us get out and when I did the beer I was concealing inside my coat fell to the pavement and shattered (which was strange cause I've chunked bottles as hard as I can and not broken them) so on went the cuffs.
Well this is where it realy started to get hairy. They found some pot and for some reason was actin' like getting high was a crime....haha
So smelling injustice, Eve went belistic on those jerkies for bein major cock-bites... They strip searched her trew her in scrubs and into the drunk tank and had the rest of us there for hours, but you know what.....We were never under arrest.....So after 5 hours of humiliating us ,insulting us, and depriving us of simple human liberties, they simply said we could go...Just like that!!
Then if that wasn't enough; they didn't let us out of there for another hour after that.. Cowards hiding behind tin cahones and their powertrip egos inflated by their crotch-rocket pistoles.. and their artifical laws that are raped at their convieniance..
In closing I just want to say...God ..please...Damn...them....ALL!!!!!!!

Hey!! what's doin' yall..
Hehe, well let me say.. I went to a local bar and played for tips... Got $10 and a few beers.. That makes it 10 gigs totaling $63.. Yea...
lol.. Well Tis sad but true , I had fun every time and am tickeled to death every time someone lets me know that they dig what I'm doin' cause I feel I'm really letting it all out there.. ya know.. Ilove it and I think I'm developeing a taste for performance..
That place was lame tho.. I was playon' my acoustic music and they asked if I knew any country..I told them I only know what I write.. But overall I realized that it was definitely the wrong environment for me!! ha! what a deal.. At least I can say I did it after Hell's done froze over....
peace yo..... James

Hello again and welcom... I have written alot more lately.. going to get 11 songs together for an all acoustic set.
I think that it'll be a good expiriece and needed adventure.. You might could see me play soon in the future if you're in northwest Oklahoma this fall.. I think that I will make an acoustic recording together.. you know ...Something that I can organize and arrange on my own...
I still haven't a drummer.. You will hear frome me again soon!!
James.

Howdy howdy everyone.. the atmosphere for good deeds has arisen and optamism prevails. I played with an absolutely wonderful drummer the other day.. he's better than I am and I think I'm pretty good.. Unfortuneatly he got himself into little trouble and if things go well will be sentenced to rehab... He ahas a bundle of potential but also has a habbit.. We will see what he chooses... peace for now and take care...James

Hello.. hello.. hello.. my dilenquent behavior promotes times of inactivity i'm afraid.. heh, Anyhow. most of my projects have been suspended due to economic turmoil! got conformation of the posability to use a studio,, perhaps for free.. and noone can beat free!!I have been able to write three new songs of which I am very proud. hoping to get a quality recording of all of them and get them dounloadable to the world!! Crossing my fingers for sure.. as things seldom transpire as expected.. espessaily for ME..
My page desighner just got herself some new software that will dramatically improve the shabby attempts so far.. And belive me when I sat this is GOOD!!My search for a drummer continues.. in fact that is the only thing holding me back...Adios for now and be shur to take care so I might see your smiling faces sometime in the futur..

gotta set my priorities.. i demand to be making a living off music by the end of this year.. for sure! i must learn to motivate those around me to my level of dedication.. cause ,well, i can't do it alone..
I must get my album (Anything But This) recorded and mastered for release by May or June.. I will let you know when i set my album release party for those of you in the NW Oklahoma area. I'm thinkin' multi kegger.. loud live music and a whole host of friends and peace loving, freedom fighting, strait up mothers ready for a ride to remember.. WOOOOOOO!!! See you there..;>}
