Every day we are jumping from one task to another – looking at the watch as a guide. No wonder heart attack is one of the main causes to death. We forget to pause, to look around and to enjoy friendship and family. The world is beautiful…

Profile Information
- About Me:
- My music experience began in the shot houses and after hours clubs - I was the last sideman for Benny Sparks (Bluesman from the early days of Barnum and Bailey Circus).
I play a variety format of music and enjoy almost all music, however my specialty is the blues.
... I was blues born, reared, and "growed".. dropped in the blue waters as a child and am now full grown!! I learned the blues, experienced the blues, and even have lived the blues for seasons in my life.
Blues is a voice, originated in a people seldom seen and rarely heard.... it has followed into many lands and become manifest in many forms. While people develop, the same emotions are felt - giving blues a place unchanged since inception.
Blues is what I do, and often is what I share and give - in exchange for a smile or a nod. Yet, I feel the venue has never received a fair due compensation - the indications are: the blues have transcended into all forms of music. So my greatest accomplishment is passing on a part of personal experience and history to others.
I love good music and ...music is a great part of my life.
- Favorite Blues Artists and Bands
- My favorites include: Jimmy Lloyd Rae (The Boogy Man),The Blacktop Rockets, Powell Williams and the Velvet Blues, Billy Jones Blues, and Super Chicken..
I am a fan and musician as well with much respect for John Lee Hooker, Etta James, Ruth Brown, Mr. Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Willie Dixson, Buddy Guy, James Marshal Hendrix, Marcia Bell, Koko Taylor, The Nevelles, and many others.

The 30th of december last year it suddenly appear a lighting sceanery on heaven. Luckely I managed to grab a camera and save the image. It was almost like the creator came down in his greatness. With this photo I want to wish you and yours a merry christmas and a happy, new year full of posibilities and great moments.
Peace, love and respect.

- Every day we are jumping from one task to another – looking at the watch as a guide. No wonder heart attack is one of the main causes to death. We forget to pause, to look around and to enjoy friendship and family. The world is beautiful – you only have to allow yourself to see it - to experience it. Look at the watch, painted by Jette – given the title “Time is relative”.
