I love acoustic music. I think it's important to appreciate all music on some level...even if you hate it. Keeping an open mind prevents aging. But I always come back to the basics...whether it's folk, acoustic blues, acoustic-style classic rock...there's just something pure about it...raw and unencumbered. image hosting file

image hosting file

I'm rather fond of songwriters, too. I never intended to be a songwriter myself; in fact, I don't really think I am a songwriter...every so often one will just sort of create itself, and I happen to be in the right place at the right time with a pencil. (There are a couple of 'em up there in that player if you'd care to take a listen.) image hosting file

Uncle Skip said even if you've only written one song, you're a songwriter. And if you see somebody tappin' their foot to it or being moved by it somehow, you might actually be a halfway decent songwriter. image hosting file

image hosting file

You know what else? There are a lot of really good songs out there. A LOT. I like to find really good songs that most people have never heard and perform them for those poor people who haven't heard them. I think it's important. And every so often I'll even slip 'em one of my own. image hosting file

image hosting file

So I'm holding true to the intent of my initial concept: to expose as many people as I can to songwriters they might have otherwise never encountered and some of the wonderful music that could have passed by them unheard. This is my quest...my mission in F'nBb...to spread the musical gospel of my unsung heroes. Pretty good work if you can get it. image hosting file

If by chance you've found me through a MySpace search for acoustic music, then you probably love acoustic music, too. I'll be rotating other MySpace musicians through my Top 8 every couple of weeks so please come back and visit, and if you see an artist you aren't familiar with, I urge you to check out their pages and their music. I wouldn't want you to miss anything. Myspace Layouts

hey there, Helen Back!

well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!

to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.

we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.

anyhoo, the FREE DOWNLOAD, and the FUN, begins at www.JAETCHISON.com

I look forward to getting to know you a little better, and I thank you SO VERY MUCH for your friendship and support!

please tell your friends about JAETCHISON.com, and ask them to sign up for the email list, too! FUN things are coming up!!



peace from Atlanta, Georgia, USA,


J.A. Etchison

Dear Helen Back,

Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...

When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...

Love can drive... in a simple way... everything

We are connected

Vibejays & Friends

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimada/o Helen Back,

cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...

Cuando lo compartimos con otros... algo se sana en todas partes...

El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...

Estamos conectados...

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
