Influences
One of my all time influences in music was Michael Brecker. He was a true inspiration in composition and playing.
We will truly miss him. May he rest in peace and may his music live on.
We mourn the loss of another great giant in Jazz. (Joe Zawinul) who passed away on 9/11/2007.
Many of us have been greatly impacted and influenced by him and his music. May he rest in peace and may his music live on.

A word of hope:
John 3:16,17
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone that believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
John 14:6
Jesus said, I am the way,the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father(God) except through me.
Christians - By Maya Angelou
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good Grace, somehow!
JOIN US AND LET'S CELEBRATE HIM; HE IS WORTHY!

Official JP / John Peña Page's Friend Space (Top 40)
Thanks so much for the Add–and your friendship. We enjoyed your music very much. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's a pleasure having you among our friends!
We've just added two new blogs about Umano, plus four more new compositions, making ten on our space. We hope you and your friends visit us and enjoy our music, too.
We wake up every morning and play the music of the new MySpace friends who have arrived at our site during the night. It occurred to us that these friends (you are among them) are almost universally positive, whether they be novices or legends, and without regard to their station in life or the country they occupy.
Although it's not an original thought, it also occurred to us that we couldn’t hold a verbal conversation with most of these friends, but we have bridged that gap by expressing our art honestly with each other.
We all have been filling the world with our music and art, in the hope that our messages of love and human understanding will have an impact on the world at large.
What a gift and what an opportunity we have received from this technology!
Hey Bro I ust want to tell you how much I love you, and to let you know what an awesome Man of God you are. Your a great Husband and Father....Happy Fathers Day Your Brother Bobby
Ama!... Porque el amor es la llave de la vida!... Cree!... Porque la fe es la llave de la esperanza!... Sonríe!... Porque la sonrisa es la llave de la amistad!... Y siempre confía en Dios!... Porque "EL" es la llave de la eternidad!!!
