I saw my first National Resophonic Guitar when I was 10 or 11 years old at Frank's Music in New Rochelle, N.Y. I was impressed with the shiny finish. Around that time I got my own radio and I started listening to music on late at night. My favorite was Sam Cooke. I also listened to Country music that I could pick up and fell in love with the sound of steel guitars. At 15 I attended the Barlow school in upstate N.Y. where I started to learn about blues and folk music. My friends John Compton and Brad Fiedel had a band and I used to jam on harp.I started playing slide guitar in open E around this time. On May 10 of 1968, I saw Jimi Hendrix at Fillmore East and my life changed permanently. When was 17, I met Johnny Winter who told me about the guitar that he and many of my blues idols played. It took until 1989 for me to get my first National, a 1931 Style O {The shiny one with the Palm Trees!}. Around this time I did my first recording session. I ran into Banjo/Steel Guitar wizard Bill Keith at Manny's in NY and he invited me to a session he was doing at the old Hit Factory to play harp. I have no idea what the tune was or whether they even kept the track, but if I wasn't hooked before, I was then. In the last year or so , I have gotten back into playing Pedal Steel, after a 30+ year hiatus. Did I mention my friends call me Slow Joe... ;-> By this time I had figured out that open G was the tuning for Delta stuff, and picked up a few other tunings to boot. In the interim I played electric and slide in countless local bands in the NY club scene and went to work first for a local sound company, then a music store and wound up selling professional recording gear and working for various manufacturers and engineering here & there . Despite this , I try to keep it really simple.
I've played in a variety of bands out here in LA and am now working on a project featuring my tunes. Its a synthesis of the music that has influenced me in various ways and expresses the feelings I have. Its a mixed bag, sometimes its very much in a defined style, but its always me.
Thank you so much... My EP, A Moment to Break, is now available on iTunes and Amazon. You can also join my mailing list at www.jamielynnnoon.com-- I couldn't be more grateful for the love and support!

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
