my name is Randall James
born in the 1900s in San Rafael CA.My family exported me to the midwest when it was time for me to start school,I suppose to protect me from the hippie movement,flower power etc..ha ha .My love for music and creativity has been with me from day one to the best of my knowledge. I am a.. ,vocalist/frontman/songwriter ...known to dabble on guitar and bass abit as well .
I began playing guitar and singing when I was 5 years old. My first public appearance was playing and singing Jerimiah Was A Bullfrog..lol "Joy To The World"for my kindergarten class in Shelbyville, Indiana (for real lol) .My roots include some country, blues and 50s rock..thanks to my very musical family.Im a huge fan of 70s and 80s rock. Kiss, Van Halen, Rush, Scorpions, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper...etc etc etc.Im known to be a pretty wacky mofo! I definately enjoy shock value and freeking people out and ya never know what ya might see here...everything from my stance on pollitical issues,music news,with a lotta fun comedy relief in between !.I once stuck my head in a big fish tank to break up a very heated argument between two very close friends.Ive always felt that music ,love,and laughter to be the sweetest magic..
