  • Music

    Rolling Stones, Allman Brothers Band, Marshal Tucker, Sting, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Merle Hagger, Willie Nelson..All of the bands that perform at the High Note / Rock n Horse "Somewhere, there is probably someone who lived in England in 1960 who turned down a chance to go to The Cavern Club because he had never heard of the band. "The band" in question was, of course, The Beatles. They went on to have a bit of success in the music business; enough success that the guy who didn't want to go see them play because he had never heard of them is still kicking himself black-and-blue 40 years later. So when you're trying to decide whether or not you want to drag yourself out to see some unknown play....just remind yourself that every musician was once an unknown, and that every musician who sells out arenas for hundreds of dollars per ticket once played somewhere for under ten bucks. And someone who paid hundreds of dollars to sit in the last row of an arena once turned down the chance to sit on the first row of a small venue for next to nothing. Don't be this person!" – THE HIGH NOTE / ROCK n HORSE is the only night club, on a REAL STAGE, BUILT FOR THE BANDS, that allows all of the ENTERTAINERS to have the opportunity to perform in front of all of their friends, family, and FANS! So tonight when you are wondering “what are we going to do tonight”, ENOUGH SAID! With your support we could very well have the next great band to come out of a small time venue.. 205-251-ROCK (7625)

About me:

ABOUT ME: WOW! I have traveled the world twice. I spent 8 years of my younger days in: Germany, France, & England. I am an Air Force Brat. I lettered in Baseball, & Soccer traveling through out Europe playing at different bases. The countries I have been to: Germany, France, England, Belgium, Spain, Italy, The Netherlands, Austria, Holland, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Scotland, Pakistan, India, Mexico and all points in between. The states that I have lived or visited: Wow! ALABAMA, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, North & South Carolina, New Jersey, (my mafia friends live there), New York, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Colorado, Arkansas, Hawaii, DC, and I can't remember the rest. Military: Basic at Ft. Benning Georgia, Advance infantry training at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina Stationed: Ft. Ord California, Korat Thailand, Bangkok Thailand. I am a Vietnam Veteran, with a Top Secret Clearance! I've spent time at the Embassy in Bangkok and had the opportunity to be exposed to some of our countries Politicians. I have the Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Service, Good Conduct Medal, Army Accommodation Medal, Expert Marksmanship, and Good Conduct Medal. I was promoted to E-5 in less than 2 1/2 years in service.. what YOU got? I also was awarded Soldier of the Month (1 person a month for the whole base) There is no better person that puts his or her life on the line for others! GOD BLESS all of the soldiers that have and are protecting the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Businesses I have either ran or owned: International Deli, Tuscaloosa, Face's Deli, Rock n Horse, Managed, High Note, Homewood, High Note/ Rock n Horse, Birmingham. I sold homes for Jim Walter, worked at what now is Wachovia Bank, Sold ad's for WideScreen Movie Media, Sold oil paintings for Angelina's Gallery, Built 2 houses, managed several duplexes and single family homes. A subcontractor for several years. Raised chickens, cows, horses. A booking agent and promoter. As a youngster I delivered papers, bagged groceries in France and during high school in Midfield, picked pea's as a 12 year old in England for tokens. It's endless! Schools: Avondale grammar school, Bit-burg Germany middle school, Toul France high school, Oliver Wendell Homes high school, and Jones Valley high school. Graduated with a degree in Real Estates Sales and Management from Jeff State. I've had 3 surgeries, and one staff infection. Damn near killed me. But it has given me the opportunity to reinvent my production company, and the opportunity to promote, and book more shows. This is my passion. I love to book and bring to life young bands that are trying to get a start. It is by far my life! To help others and inspire them in there dreams. If you don't believe it call me and let's see if we can do some shows. Owned my first recording studio when I was 23. Promoting "Home Cooking Rocket Roll Band". Lead guitar player performed with Bobby Womack. The other members have gone on to perform with major bands and have lost track of them. But all of them are performing in major bands. This information is intended for the entertainment and fun for myspace friends, and not to be used for any other purpose to include legal, lawyers, government or any part that could be used against me in any way! I don't have any Mafia friends, that's what all of my friends think..

Who I'd like to meet:

First and foremost, the people I want to surround myself with are those individuals when they open there mouths and tell you they love you, care about you and are concerned about you, is ACTUALLY a fact and not a frivolous mumbo jumbo, like most people I know. When you say friend you don't mean when you need something. That is not to say that you shouldn't be there in need for your friends. Quite the contrary. It means NEVER to turn your head, in your own selfish greed, and disrespect. I trust no one will take this personally, just the true compassion that I have for my friends. Make sure that you treat your friends better than you have treated me! NOW! "I'd like to meet", there are many, every wounded soldier, or family members of a soldier that has died for you! Any one who has served our country and defended your rights, as I have. God bless America. Let's talk about the bands and entertainers: First I want to thank everyone that has blessed me with there presence. And I hope in some small way I have helped you get some band practice in so that you can continue your dreams. Now I don't even need to begin listing damn near every band in Birmingham and all surrounding counties. If by chance someone did you wrong please shoot me! Excuse me, send me an e-mail and I would love to "help" resolve some of the ass wholes that say bad things about me or the club. Remember this, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THEIR FOR YOU! Most of you have supported what we do. And what is that> WE GIVE EVERYONE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM ON THE "BEST" STAGE. Many claim to fame on that one, however we know that we built the stage for our bands, hell a third of the room is a stage. WE ARE NOT A RESTAURANT THAT CAN'T MAKE IT IN THE FOOD BUSINESS AND COPIES WHAT WE DO, NOR DO WE COPY "ANYONE". We are and have been the forerunners before any club in town gave the bands coming out of the garage to perform on a real stage. Not where you can touch the ceiling. NOW IF YOU BRING A CROWD WE ALL WILL MAKE SOME MONEY, HOWEVER, THE DOWN SIDE TO WHAT WE DO IS THAT IF YOU DON'T BRING YOU FANS, "WELL" WE WILL ALL GO HOME CRYING!! So, here is my suggestion to you, round up all of your fans, and lets' put some butt in the seat. Most think that I can draw a crowd for them. Well, I hate to break every one's bubble, the reason you bring all types of entertainers in is to bring business...I want to leave you on a "High Note", get each band member to bring at least there top 10 myspace friends (that's each band member) or family, cousins, brothers etc, AND I PROMISE YOU, THAT YOU WILL MAKE SOME MONEY, and guess what? We will stay open for you to come back. Once again I really appreciate everything anyone does for me, and wish I could do more! We want to take care of any need you have, parties, wedding, events, and anything you can come up with. We are here for you. Why go through a promoter or booking agent when you can go directly to the top! CALL ME FOR BOOKINGS AND EVENTS. THANKS

    Thanks for the good word bro! Been gone 13 years and things aren't where I left them, if you know what I mean. The scene is ALL different now so I'm kinda lost here at present. I'm looking to get into a good Rock/Metal/Alternative thing. I'm not picky on originals or cover as long as it rocks and the musicianship is awesome. I'm thinking a bit more "listener friendly" type sound at present but nothing's set in stone. Lookin' to put some meat in the seats and not all sausage! My recordings are bit on the heavier side, for the most part but that's not all I got, just all that was recorded, unfortunately.
    Looking forward to this weekend. Juliya ROCKS!! See ya there...I hope.
