About me:
I am an artist, teacher, and seeker. I'm so glad to have found "MySpace" as a place to join the global conversation on web blogs. I'm here to express myself, start something, inspire, be inspired. Wherever righteous people can find a public space to meet and converse and learn and enjoy, they should do it. So, I'm bringing my background in music, literature, black cultural politics, and garage sales right here. I am also playing in a band, Davey J and the Jones Tones. You can see my band schedule at www.amblues.com. You can also hear songs from the band at www.myspace.com/daveyjandthejonestones. Be my friend there too! Peace and blessings to all, Davey J
Who I'd like to meet:
Aspiring musicians who are committed to their work. Anyone in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, or Nebraska who wants to start a summer music festival. Anyone here who wants to help the people living in poverty in the richest country in the world. People who like a lively conversation and want to share their insights and keep a positive mind-set going in this country.

Hey Davey J., I had a great time last night at the 19th Hole and enjoyed meeting Judy, Tammy, Dave, Don, and especially Katherine! I've got a beef though, you gotta start posting bulletins about your gigs here again so I can keep up with all of you.

Hi Davey J

It's Thanksgiving (in the states). The time of year to be mindful of all the things we are thankful for...

I just wanted to say "Thank You" for being my friend and offer a toast:

May our lives be the better for our paths having crossed. :)

Cheers! / clink
