BIO


Jesse is the captain of team salad. So far only there are only two members on the team- and I am not supposed to tell you that Curtis is the other one- everyone else thinks that eating grilled cheese will make them happy.....not bloody likely. Also Jesse plays guitar, sings, tells jokes, laughs hysterically, and generally carries on about stuff. As for the music- It seems to take way longer to write than I thought... I mean "he" thought. f*&!@!! Is this supposed to be in the third person? Okay- I have blown my cover- I am Jesse- He is me- we are us. Ahhhhh I feel so much better now....I feel like we can really truly have a relationship now that honesty has scoured the dirty pan of deceit wherein we cooked the pancakes of our earlier attempts at realfulness. So.....here goes...... I play music and I love it. Kind of. I have made friends with many geniuses over the years and that seems to keep me inspired. I feel lucky that I wake up every day and the worst thing I encounter in my job is that some kid wants to learn Sweet Home Alabama.... again!- I mean, its actually pretty fun to play on the guitar....I was born in Alabama too!! - I could have been the son of a Waffle House Baron.... but that is another story... although twould be nice to be a financial magnate....pardon the rampant use of aposiopesis... where we we- oh yes...you have stopped reading and I, for one, don't blame you- I just took a nap for about a half hour...Music... it is trying at times to care so much about what you do every day - I get really down about once a week when I think its not going anywhere; and then I realize...it doesn't have to...here it is- I hope you dig it. JJ also, love canon rules. This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Hi Jesse,
I really like your songs. Thank you for the add :)
Take a look at my video of The Writing on the Wall from my acoustic album, Beyond the Blues. Quote from the wall: ‘The wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly’.
Thanks again,
