Jay Rags(promoting Soul/House/Poetry underground)'s Blurbs
About me:
Peace, Blessings, and Libations to all. I am JOHN "JAY RAGS" JOHNSON from Baltimore. ===============================
I work in IT by profession, but as a hobby I do some of the following: Spoken Word/Poetry, event Promoting, website design, flyer design, dj(house), etc(see my other page jayragsSF). ========================================================= I love House Music, spoken word/poetry, and live music in general. As a kid I listened to whatever my mom had laying around after her parties in the 70's(Diana Ross,etc.). I am fortunate to be a part of the generation that created House & HipHop, and have been dancing in clubs since kiddie discos. I am the founder of Blackbookscafe.com, creator/promoter of the Soul Fiesta party, the co-founder of Collective Minds, creator of Studio Sessions & Studio Sessions Live!, a magnet for good people :), and promoter of all things underground. Blackbokscafe.com is a Balto/DC based website where you could go to see upcoming House, poetry,and open-mic events around Bmore/DC. It also has interviews & pics. Soul Fiesta, and then Soul Fiesta/SpiritualJourney, was a themed underground House Music party in Baltimore. It was to the local House scene what Mos Def, Common, or Talib Kweli is to the HipHop scene. Collective Minds is an organization made up of many of Balto/DC's top House producers,dj's,singers,promoters, and dancers. It is bigger than all of us now.(collectiveminds.org). Studio Sessons is my new House music movement, but Studio Sessions live is my next project to promote live & underground music of many genres(neosoul, jazz, poetry, etc.).

Hey Jay, you should come hang out with me and my Neighborhood Watch crew in Bmore on 10/18 for a very special event:
October's installment of our Blue Light Special monthly at Shorty's will be an Old Skool theme party in celebration of my 35th birthday.
Wear your favorite outdated attire, come punch me in my olde balls, and get down to our very special vinyl classics DJ set. That's right, we're going back to our DJ roots, playing all the stuff that got us started: Classic House, 2-Step, Disco House, Prog House, UK Hard House, Techno, Florida Breaks, and even...gasp...Trance!
