   About Jim Guittard
Here's the PR bit where I make myself look cool. No trying; I am cool. It's really not a band; it's just me. I am a rambler in pursuit of happiness who has lived in various states across the U.S. I have lived in Gunnison, Colorado, Dallas, Texas, Hollywood, California, Bulgaria and most recently Portland, Oregon. I have been involved in music to some degree since I was 11 years old. I was a band geek playing trombone and in my freshmen year of high school I took up the guitar. I figured why not, my last name is "Guittard." My other choice was to go sell chocolate for the Guittard Chocolate Company in California. Don't think sales is my thing so I chose to play guitar. I may still knock on the Guittard Chocolate Factory door some day the way the economy is going. During college I played in jazz bands and recorded on my 4-track. Then I found myself adjusting insurance claims as a career. It wasn't much of a career. If you've seen the movie "Office Space" then you know the environment. That was it. I moved to Hollywood, California to study at a music school and after that , randomly, I met up with Roger McGuinn's son, Henry. Roger was one of the founders of the Byrds. Henry and I named our duo "the Ragas" after the style of music that emerged on the Byrds album "5D." The style stemmed from Raga Royalty Ravi Shankar. Henry and I gigged around a bit and then called it quits. I was involved in the Brian Jonestown Massacre scene in Silverlake, California. Anton Newcombe once stepped in at my time of need to prevent me getting my head beat in at a Hollywood Hills party by saying, "This is all just a misunderstanding." It was a bit wild in Hollywood to say the least. For now I am setting up shop in Portland.
