   About Nina Jo Smith


Myspace Editor
Pimp MySpace

I was about 10 years old when I started playing guitar. That's when I stole my mom's little nylon-stringed guitar. Hers was easier to play than my tough little steel-stringed Christmas present from Sears, though that one lives in memory as the one that taught me the miracle of changing pitch by pressing the string against the wood of the guitar neck. Ooooooh. Now I just try to keep up with what the guitar is telling me so I can pull out the songs each one has to offer. Buy the CD

Hello Nina Jo,

Thanks for the add. I surely can't argue with any of your influences either...especially the late great Chet Atkins. I liked your vocal version of "Dreamcatcher" ... it's a lovely song and you have a lovely voice...not like my old "scratchy" voice. Wishing you just enough...that's all anyone really needs.
Your friend and fan,
John Arruda

Check this out Nina Jo!!

Tess "The Only One We Need" Check out at spmrecords.com



Tess‘ debut solo album The Only One We Need marks a significant moment in modern music history. This is not only one of the first releases in a new genre - Catholic Christian Rock - but it also features famous musicians known for their work with mainstream secular classic rock legends. John McFee of The Doobie Brothers, Carlos Rios and Sharon Celani of the Stevie Nicks band, and Joey Stec of The Millennium are among the noted musicians present on this album.

Legalize It!




Tom Ammaniano (state assemblyman from San Francisco) just introduced a
bill into the state assembly to tax and regulate marijuana as we do
alcohol -- i.e., it would be legalized, taxed, and regulated.
Like
alcohol, sales would be limited to folks over 21, penalties would be in
place for dui, sale to minors, etc.
in other words, it sounds like the
right approach.
The bill's official number is AB390, and more info will probably be available soon at www. norml. org and www. mpp. org.





If you have a minute, call and/or email your state assembly person and
Senator to encourage them to support the bill.
You can look up their
contact info online based on your zip code:
http://www. legislature. ca. gov/port-zipsearch. html.





Feel free to pass this along.
The bill is fighting an uphill battle
against a vast legacy of misguided and uninformed policy, and it will
only have a chance of passing if people speak up in favor.





This bill will provide California with one billion dollars of revenue each year (each ounce is taxed $50)




Do your part to help LEGALIZE IT!
