   About James DePrato
hey folks, im james. thanks for checkin out my page. myspace is dual purpose for me. i keep in touch with all my homies and brag about all the cool shit that i get to do. this last year has been amazing. ive been around the world twice playing shows with chuck p and the gang. now im back in town right where i left off at least until chuck p cranks out a new record and we blast out for another world tour. meanwhile, ill be playing with a bunch of rad local songwriters. i live in a cool little town in the bay called point richmond. we got one bar and a dirty ass beach. me and my ole lady want a dog but the landlord aint havin it. i grew up in a little horse town in southern california called norco. my parents still live there and yes, people still ride horses around everywhere. its a one of a kind place in the world.. the only concert that has ever happened there was toby keith and ricky skaggs, live at ingalls park (the same park where the rodeo happens every year). me and two of my friends hopped the fence and checked it out. i was maybe 12 years old. i hated country music as a kid but now im into it because thats where all the shreddin guitars went when metal went away. now metal is back and its great again. check out some new bands like mastodon and lamb of god. i love being a musician and i feel really lucky to get to do this shit full time. its like gettin paid to hang out and act like a retard with my friends. i try to make my career bigger and better every year. so far so good. so hit me up if you wanna come see a show sometime. best. james I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

I was at the 8x10 in Baltimore (my new home) the other week and saw that Chuck Prophet was coming to town.....I'm hoping you're rolling in with him. It would be great to see you!

hope all is well.

Hi James,

thanks a lot for the friendly message. I feel honoured to be friends with you. I loved your playing with Chuck Prophet at Berlin's Quasimodo. Those lovely twin guitar solos with Chuck reminded me of the great times of Thin Lizzy. And there was some outrageous slide playing, too ... and what you did on that twin-neck-Danelectro!
Here's the review I wrote about the gig for Berlin's daily paper "Der Tagesspiegel":

But mind you, it's in German ... obviously.

Take care and all the best,
HP
