HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM-Busy week coming up.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM>>>>I have 4 gigs in a row this coming week...That's what I'm talkin' bout.Serving up the fresh
musical delights from the James Snack Bar all week. I Played at the Lighthouse last Thursday, Where were you all??...More
people have to come support me here...Luckily there was a birthday party going on and a few people stuck around ..Brandon
and Cindy and G came to check it out, Went to Stash's after to check out Brandon Davis play. I hung out late and had some
tasty Chicken tenders and Anchor Steam Liberty Ale on tap.., Can't resist those Stash-tenders,mmm good. Trying to do some
recording, Recorded a bizzare version af Happy Birthday for my mom and posted it on the site. Complete with dancehall drums
and multi layerd guitar...It's hard to play happy b-day in 4/4 time. It's in 3/4 as you all know..usually at least...Met Dave
Hoffman on thursday @ LH, Local guitar hero now living in New Haven, Gave me some good advice about making Mo $$$ playing.
He use a booking agent, Said the internet is the way to go for promoting yourself.. Lord knows I need some guidance. Look
for my wedding site in the future, It's in the works,,, gonna try to promote the wedding/cocktail hour guitar thing. Good$
if you can get the gigs..
Peace for now.JAH

SITE RESPONSE
I've been getting some good feedback on the site.. I swear audio is in the works, only time for so much stuff..I've Been working
on learning my recording software and drum machine... I might collaborate with a singer songwriter friend of mine(Brandon)
and play some gigs in the near future.getting the jam bug...It's time for a collaboratin soon. Also Steve That plays on TUESDAYS
@ DPI and me were talkin' bout doing something, Steve, if U read this I havn't forgotten. That would be cool..Riverwalk was
pretty good on Friday although it got mellow later on..The doldrums of winter in New England....Hopefully the club owners
understand and realize the investment in having something going on is worthwhile even if every week isn't a smashing success.
It evens out over time..Gigs have been 80% great with an occasional off night, hard to predict but it happens.
Lots of
irons in the fire...Good Night All..

chanting "We Love James",,,,"We Love James" ...it was funny.....Chicks were in the mood to give me my
propers...Some cat was Dancin at the end of the show when i played Britney Spears " Hit Me Baby 1 Mo' Time" and
trying to get the crowd to give me tips....Alcohol will bring out the best in some people.....( Sarcasm,, Children)

Cold Sunday Night in January/Alex Summer gig
Talked to my Buddy Alex today and he wants me to play at his wedding ceremony on June 24th 2006. Getting some private gig
bookings in advance!!!Classical arrangements of rock and other oddites. Should be fun. He suggested an instrumental version
of "Hells Bells" as a joke ( I Think? ) I'll have to learn it just because now...He and Mellissa are finally doin'
it. He and I were in a band together. He is a good song writer. I miss playing with a band sometimes..Been so busy makin'
$ on the solo tip. I am really glad to have some steady gigs for the past few years. Life is good!! Damn its cold out there.....Time
to read my book and go to sleep. yawn
