Bio
.... .. .. .. .. .. ...................... .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. ....Nate Lopez has always been surrounded by music. Born in 1979 in California, his mother often sang and played piano, always encouraging creativity and open-mindedness. Nate took piano lessons in his youth until becoming frustrated with his piano teacher's rigidity, at which point Nate quit the piano lessons and started studying on his own. Nate's Uncle Ricardo on his father's side was an incredible Mexican folk guitarist, exposing Nate to two handed tapping, hammer-ons, and many other styles of guitar. When Ricardo died in 1992, he left his guitar to Nate's father, Marcus, who then gave it to Nate. The guitar immediately made sense to Nate, and as soon as he began to experiment with it he realized he was playing bass lines on it, at which point he got a bass guitar that he played for many years. Nate studied western music at Solano College and North Indian Classical music at the Ali Akbar School of Music. Over time, Nate has acquired a broad array of musical interests and skills, and is always exposing himself and others to different sounds and styles... .. Nate has been gigging professionally in the Bay Area for more than 15 years, and continues to play often with many different types of groups. Nate has been a featured artist at many venues such as The Catalyst Club-Santa Cruz, Ghiradelli Square-San Francisco, Hopmonk-Sebastopol, 19th and Broadway-Fairfax, Watermelon Music-Davis, Laguna Art and Music Festival, Napa Valley Film Festival, Sonoma Art and Wine Festival, Mustard Festaval at COPIA, City of Santa Rosa, Marin County Fair, Sacramento City College, Sonoma State University, Solano College, to name a few. ..Currently Nate Lopez has been playing his custom Novax 8-string bass/guitar with loops and effects, as well as a self-modified 7 string acoustic Baritone guitar. Nate produces many styles of music including jazz standards and not so standards, Hindustani music, as well as original music. From Jazz solo and duo projects to Big Band Jazz, Funk, North Indian Classical music, Afro-Cuban, and Hip Hop, Nate's signature style is diverse, lyrical, and absolutely his own. Despite keeping busy with gigs and collaborations, Nate continues to develop and grow musically. <?P> To learn more about Nate, hear his music, and download songs for free, go to http://www.natelopez.com, or visit http://www.myspace.com/natelopeztrio .. ...... -

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT VETERAN'S DAY ...
"We SLEEP SOUNDLY in our beds
because ROUGH MEN STAND READY IN THE NIGHT
to VISIT VIOLENCE on those who would DO US HARM."
~ George Orwell
WE OFTEN TAKE FOR GRANTED THE VERY THINGS
THAT MOST DESERVE OUR GRATITUDE! GOD BLESS
OUR VETERANS ~ GUARDIANS OF OUR FREEDOMS!

"JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" - MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT SOON @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT SPEAKING OUT ...
"First they came for the COMMUNISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT -- because I was NOT A COMMUNIST;
Then they came for the SOCIALISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A SOCIALIST;
Then they came for the TRADE UNIONISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A TRADE UNIONIST
Then they came for the JEWS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A JEW;
Then they CAME FOR ME - and
there was NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK OUT FOR ME."
~ Pastor Martin Niemoller - A prisoner at the Dachau
Concentration Camp
STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT! DON'T EVER LET
THE VOICE OF FREEDOM BE SILENCED!

A Day Without LAUGHTER is a Day WASTED Nate!

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HUMOR ...
"Through HUMOR, you can soften some of the
worst blows that life delivers. And once you find
LAUGHTER, no matter how PAINFUL your situation
might be, you can SURVIVE IT.”
~ Bill Cosby
HUMOR IS MANKIND'S GREATEST BLESSING!

Only WE Can STOP WORLD HUNGER Nate!
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WORLD HUNGER ...
Here is some FOOD FOR THOUGHT ~
> Every 3.6 seconds a person dies of HUNGER
> 75% of them are CHILDREN
> 30 million people a year DIE OF HUNGER
> HUNGER is the world's #1 Health Risk ~ It kills more
people every year than AIDS, malaria, and TB
combined
> 1 in 7 people in the world will go to bed hungry tonight
> 925 million people do not have enough to eat and
98% of them live in developing countries
> In the U.S. alone, we spend 5 times the amount each
year it would take to feed the world's hungry on WEIGHT
LOSS PROGRAMS

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE BABY BIKER ...
"OK Dude ... you've got 32 teeth - you wanna try for none?
I know what you're thinkin' dude - I may be small but I'm
TOUGH. I'm a lot tougher than I look, and I've got
something for ya!"
IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT ~ IT'S
THE SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DOG!
A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED!

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT POTENTIAL ...
"The AVERAGE PERSON works at 50%
or LESS of their POTENTIAL. Your job is to
UNLEASH that EXTRA 50%."
~ Brian Tracy

MEETS OPPORTUNITY! BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!

Just Be YOU Nate!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT BEING YOURSELF ...
“About all you can do in life is BE WHO YOU ARE.
Some people will LOVE YOU FOR YOU.
Most will love you for WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM,
and some WON'T LIKE YOU AT ALL.”
~ Rita Mae Brown
ALWAYS BE A FIRST RATE VERSION OF YOURSELF
INSTEAD OF A SECOND RATE VERSION OF WHAT
SOMEONE ELSE WANTS YOU TO BE!
