   About BJ Kocen Music
I'm so happy to finally say after 20 years of singing and songing that I feel confident as a writer and performer. This year has been a blessing with music. The people I play with The Gobstoppers and Paul Curreri (who has produced and arranged a beautiful record coming out in 2010) have given me such joy. People say I sound like Paul Simon. Maybe its because of the songs I wrote from my "Schmasland" record like "You can call me Pal" and Diamonds in the holes of her woo" Songs like that. But anyways, Thanks for dropping by and listening and checking out some gigs. It means a lot to us singer songwriters out there. It means more to us than we can ever begin to sum up. So many blessings to you and yours and thanks for stopping by~

That whole "um" thing is sooooo played. Nobody needs to type "um."

um. a couple things:

1. browning's TOTALLY stealing my put-me-on-yer-TFL schtick. not cool, browning.

2. putting browning up there when you havent put ME up there? that's an egregious transgression.

if this situation is not addressed and remedied by 8:30 tomorrow night, you're getting yanked from the kmtfl.

and no, that's not a threat. that's a promise, helLO!

Hey, man. How about putting me up in your top friends? Slash is up there twice after all, and I'm am up there zero times.

If he was up there twice and I was up there once, then he would be up there TWICE as much as me. And I could even live with that. But that is not even the case. But as it currently stands, he is up there, like, INFINITY more times than me.

If you took his number (2) and divided it by my number (0) on your calculator, your calculator would would just say ERROR, because you can't even do that. It is mathematically impossible to calculate how many times he is up there more than me.

That is just sad. And not fair.

well, i dont know whom one contacts about pimping one's page, but rest assured pages can be pimped, and whilst said pimping is in process, i'd post some brighter pictures as well. right now, it looks like all stretchin' is taking place in a coal mine.
