Lifes' many edges

Is it a.d.d. to go off on many directions. 'Off the edge', so to speak? It's a constant reminder when I am asked to perform on other people's projects, of how diversity is my mantra. The former King Of Reverbnation, Rick Frost , called my stuff "Bold Diversity", and I love his music. I have been fortunate enough to be asked to be part of a Collaboration with kEN CUSTANCE, SIMON POINT AND KHRIS PENNY; hence, please stay tuned for "CUST-THOM-PENN-POINT productions; presents...." I am still finishing my 1st album; but Christmas is more likely the release date. Thank you great people on here for your kind words and support! and Songplays- I still cant believe it but I will keep writing songs, and listening to your stuff whenever I can! Luv Joe

30,000 songplays!

Wow- THANK YOU WONDERFUL LISTENERS! More songs to come, I will be listening to all of you as well. I still cant believe these numbers. I am grateful for all of you amazing musicians and music lovers who take the time to listen.

My Rookie Year

With high spirits, i am approaching a year on Reverbnation, and what a year it was. I am delighted to have uploaded "High Beams of a Freight Train" featuring guest Rob Baird on 2nd guitar and the Remix of "Dancing on the Wind" featuring Ena Diva D'Water; As I prepare the final mixes for the 1st cd release. I see i am approaching 30,000 songplays and I want to thank the amazing Bill and Lynn Higgs , Renae the Hot Rocker babe of St Louis!; Stevie Fitchet (Khamsina) The Fabulous Del Counts; The Pizza Kings, and Anchorage Alaska, and Rock Frost, and many others for your songplays; kindness and Phenomenal talent sharing

And now for something...

Completely different- Blue Moon Lagoon, has been uploaded to Ena Diva D'water . I arranged an wrote the music and played the guitar, while Ena recorded her vocal parts in front of my friends from work- "The G.B.S. Players"

Remix with Ena - thank you Universe for bringing Ena's Vocals

I am so grateful for the musical friends I have in my life. I am posting "Dancing On the Wind Remix with Ena" as the last song of this my first "Solo" cd. It's funny how the more solo work I do, the more I wish to record my friends talents. This summer featured a few surprise short visits from friends I have known for many years. Two of them; (Ena, and Robert John Prescott) are going to be on the final cut, and a third friend, Rob Baird with be on my next cd. I am working at final mixing and mastering, but have set back the cd release until November/december while I deal with pressing health and other issues. Thank you kind listeners for the song plays and the amazing energy your feedback has given me. Your comments are appreciated.

I spent some time with her and a mutual friend going to Meager creek hotspring, and visiting her parents farm north of pemberton, The last time I saw her i was videotaping her band " the Purple Onion in Gastown. Who should sit down on a log at the Jam in Roberts creek! `Hello Ena``. She has been invited to stay here, and suggested maybe we should record :):):) Stay tuned, my friends, as you never know what life brings next :)
