STRIKE ME DOWN is the kind of album you like to listen to when you’re having a deep conversation, or feeling contemplative. It is laced with soulful melodies that sway in and out of its poetic verses seamlessly. The simple chords are pure and reminiscent of such ‘barebones’ styles as Jack Johnson, with a distant echo of a sunny Caribbean island sound. The title track is one of the best, but songs like ‘Closer’, which pick up the pace in tempo and emotion, really tie the album together as a whole

...the album’s sound...retains the authenticity of Jon Curtis’ roots as a London busker. Emotive, raw, harmonic, and pop enough to be catchy, but different enough to be fresh, Strike Me Down...has enough layers to entice you back for more

Personal favourites include Closer and Without Prejudice

Hi Jon, Happy Holidays

My son and & I just love music,,,, all types of music.... and since I am homebound and my son is most of the time..we listen to a lot of it.

I am having a contest for Christmas.


Each day on my page, I will feature new artists on my top friends and I will play their music.. I have found some very talented artists on myspace.. I am very impressed... The musician, singer with the most votes wins $1000.00. If the artist is already famous I would like them to tell me the charity they would like me to donate to.. If you are not famous I will give you the $1000.00 for your music career....To cast your votes have your friends pick their favorite musicians or singers and send me a message with your vote..Deadline for this contest is Dec. 15th 2007 the winner will be contacted on Dec. 18th..2007.

Please help me spread the word about Mastocytosis and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. If one person would tell another person it would help us raise awareness. Please sign my guestbook I just put up.

Next month I will have a joke contest,,, so comedians get ready to send your funniest joke....

Have A Wonderful Holiday Season....
