More than a few people have told me that my songs remind them of Lou Reed. That's good... I think.
We bring you all original compositions for your listening pleasure. I play all the guitars and some of the keyboard (strings woodwinds, etc.), and do the singing. All songs are dedicated to my fiance, Donna, the lovely lady in the photos. You can read her fascinating story at our personal website and see our new videos here. You can see our photos here. More of our music can be found at our band site at SoundClick...also here. I wrote the song "The Ghetto"("The Tracks") to express my frustration over the way the powerless are treated in America(it's not much better elsewhere). The rich and powerful grab all the wealth for themselves...the rest of us fight over the crumbs. It is not a song about Blacks and Whites, by the way. It's about the have's and the have nots. The Ghetto in the title could just as well refer to a Mexican or Puerto Rican neighborhood, as an African-American one. And, for centuries the Jews in Europe lived in ghettos. Unless we learn to end all violence towards ourselves and others and live in peace, it's quite possible we will destroy ourselves and the whole planet as well.
While we are waiting for the day to arrive when peace comes to the planet, we might want to consider the following quote:
A democracy is two wolves and a small lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Freedom under a constitutional republic is a well armed lamb contesting the vote. Benjamin Franklin
Sweet Jane is a real treat! Great song, perhaps the best you ever did (or: i simply like it the most :-)) Great recording. Love the guitar work on this one too.
Hey,

Best,

Your page looks so good! I'm glad Donna's hip is doing better it was one of the worst surguries Amanda ever had. The pain she verbalized was a pain I just can never put into words but it went straight to my soul... Get well soon Donna!

ps.... I will have to ask around about a lift. Have you guys looked at craigslist.org.... ? They have stuff all over the place for free and sale.
Yo, Jim- glad it seems to be workin' for ya. Hey, did you know that you can link your site as >http://www.soundclick.com/lejaz and it works just fine? ;-)
Hey LeJaz - so the signup finally worked? Glad you're here also. You can't promote enough it think. Put it up and forget about it and look once in a while, that's my strategy. The more the word gets out, the better. Autostream works fine (DSL)
