Generalmusic, observing people, cuddling my dogs, nature, instruments and sounds, experiencing different places, the pursuit of happiness through understanding

You can hear some of my work as a guitarist, songwriter, engineer, and producer on a few other myspace profiles...

In Fractious, I co-wrote all of the songs, played all of the lead guitar, and engineered/produced all of the tracks with the rest of the band.

In Thornbird, I co-wrote the song "She Part I & II" and I wrote the guitar "hook" on the song "Best Thing." These guys are still touring around the country, so look for them!

In Tenbone Martini, I collaborated with one of my best friends, Jacqui Walker to co-write, engineer/produce, and play all of the songs on her page. My favorite is "Get Over You."

   Jake Knight's Blurbs
About me:
I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
"It is futile," I said,
"You can never -"

"You lie," he cried,
And ran on.

-Stephen Crane-

Thanks very much for the friend request Jake.

It's nice to hear that you like my music.

I had a quick look at your playlist and most of the bands in it are in my top friends!

All the best

Hey now... How goes it? In the mood for some President-Bashing? How 'bout some good old fashioned punk rock ethos? No?! Then you'd better move along & spare us both the impending awkward moment. If, on the other hand, you agree that George Bush is a wiener with a capital "W", you most definitely will want to swing by our page for a FREE download of "Assassination". Happy listening, friend!

Peace...
