I have been privileged to play and record with many great players from all types of music. From Caroline Aiken (the Indie Folk/Acoustic Queen) to Angie Aparo (The Prince of Americana) to Members of Alpha Blondy (West Africa's Reggae King) to the Blues and Jazz on Auburn Ave in Atlanta, All have expanded and enriched my music. It was my pleasure to perform and record 5 CD's with the electric/acoustic duo "the ELEPHANT's GERALD" and it has been my joy to record the latest solo CD "FEW WORDS" Thanks for getting this far with me.

hello thanks for the comment on the music, finally a real comment about the music, I like that you disected the tunes, I do write from my heart, it soothes my soul, you are great on the guitar, I sense a little hotel california influence a little on the first, track maybe that's the feel I got from it very hypnotic riff, keep the faith, and alway's walk forward that is the best advice I can give, but you already knew that,
Haha, yes, publishing and all the legal stuff does take a long time! Don't give up though! Let me know how it goes, and when you get done with your new songs. I'm doing sooo much more guitar playing in my new music, so hopefully that's a good thing!! We'll see.... hopefully I'll have a few previews out soon, I just don't like posting stuff that has mistakes, lol.
Thanks! Things are kinda the same, but a little less crazy. I have enough time to be on the worship team again, so that's good! How's your recording going? Mine has slowed down somewhat, but I'm working on a new classical song.

Hi Rog, Hope you had a good night so far :) I made my way to your musicplayer and guess what? It rocks! It's really good, you were right, I like the vibe/sound (you had mentioned I might like your stuff because of the myspace friends I have up). Wasn't expecting your music to be so soulful and moving.
My favs (so far, have more tracks to listen to still) were “And the Wind,” “The Bells of Heaven,” and dug the groove in “Pillar of Fire,” very good ole fashioned blues.
The 1st track on the player is really good, just soars from the get-go, love it, no breaks, pauses of boredom from the listener. Feel like you're on the 'ride.' Love the meandering riffs and reverb, AND the emotion, kind of just pours out effortlessly. From the get-go of the song, I thought it just took off. Don’t know why but it felt smooth like cascading water, to my ear, really fresh vibe. Dug the wails; huge emotion; nice bass-lines at end (liked the touch/punch of the bass).
On the 2nd track, I couldn’t stop my feet from tapping to the beat, love the soul and funky groove. Think if I saw this played live, I’d be into it and groovin.’
The 3rd cut-- Very Santana--nice! Thought the guitar tone and playing is masterful (very clean riffing)..
4th track...simply LOVE! conjured up Christopher Cross’ “Sailing” from the past (always had a special place in my heart for that song. ...Some songs do that upon the first listen...). This one spoke to me, really liked the deep-hearted rythm and blues chug, flowed very nicely.
Well, hey, no wonder Adam liked what he heard Take care and wish you lots of good Zzzz's. Till next time, Nathalujah
