About me: I'm done with school so i had to change all of this. I'm an artist and musician, and just graduated from art school, again. I have a beautiful wife, Cameron, and a daughter, Frankie. Cameron and I write songs and play in a band called Little Country Giants. I like drawing, painting, assembled sculpture, found objects, kinetic sculpture, automata, guy clark, raymond scott, free jazz, old country, bacon, meatloaf, good greens, mac and cheese, mae's soul food restaurant in atlanta, coffee (almost more than anything), blah, blah, blah. I like to write and sometimes do.
thanks for finding me! i'll go oveer to listen to some more of your stuff now! and i said on camerons page: it'd be great to see you guys again, in one or the other part of the world. let's stay in touch
Thank you, sir! I am looking forward to hearing you play sometime too. Your art is also highly developed. The multi-disiciplinary aspects of doing music and art at a high level always amazes me. I hope you don't mind, but I stole your John Cage rules for my own edificiation.
Y'all take care and hopefully we'll get to see you soon! Jonathan
