Some of my work

I actually modeled it after my own custom 85 flying v that my father and I built. I love my guitar. no joke, I sleep with it every night. my ex girlfriend would get pissed because i would turn my back to her and cuddle up with my axe. lol

Ahhhhh....I can empathise. I've got an early Ibanez Artist that plays like a dream. I used to live on a holiday island of the UK coast, I was in bands a long time playing for tourists and locals during the winter. The usual stuff, rock covers (Be-bop Deluxe, Stones, Montrose, etc.) I miss it now. For some reason, no idea why, even though I played rock, when I fool around now at home it's a much more Reinhardt feel, and I'm not a big fan of Jazz.

it's because music comes from your soul. it's not about what you think you want to hear, it's about what you are inside, what you need to hear. playing others music is fine, but playing your own is the soundtrack to you. it's your soul coming out in musical form.

often, people spend time thinking about what they want as opposed to accepting and making the best out of what they truly are.

i'm not saying you are "that type" of person, i'm just trying to explain my previous point.

i know from experience. i make music myself, and had an idea of what type i wanted to make and the sound i wanted. but what always came out was totally different. as i continued to grow and expand my sound that's the way i found myself going. and that is part of who i am.


as far as the freelance work. it would just be a couple of still images for my websites. one is a music website, for posting work, collaborating etc etc. the other is gonna be a news/information type of show with a cannabis twist.

lol. i can't give too much away yet!

Not at all, it's good to have a yarn this time of day and get things going. I may be of use to you in terms of content if I understand what you're saying about the news site. I write on cannabis and it's use in various contexts, and transcendental experiences: Headstuff Books | Home

damn, that awesome! i just have to get it all sowed up (legal wise etc) and i'll be ready to spill all of the beans.

but in general, it's a show dedicated to current events/politics/entertainment/tech/advocacy/legalization etc. etc.

there is gonna be smoking, different segments and stuff like that. none of it is set in stone and i would love to work with others on it. that would be awesome!

not to mention it can be used as a platform to get music/books/art out to the masses. and with a topic such as cannabis, it will eventually hit the masses!

i'm gonna need help. i'm gonna have to find a core group of people to get this shit started.

i think this could be the start of something big. man, i love this site and all of the people on it.

like minds! so many things to do, so little time!

sorry for the ramblings, i'm a mad scientist type, talking to myself, motivating myself and whatnot!

Whooahhhhh. Hang on. This is you? I'm sorry, I've been out of touch for a long time and don't know anything about who is who anymore. But if this is you, it's seriously the most original, pleasing, atmospheric, well-produced stuff I've heard for years. Stunned, honestly, such cool stuff.
