It's pretty much a one man operation around here, with me(Jim) doing the composing, arranging, vocals, guitars, and some of the keyboards. My girlfriend Donna provides the inspiration. She is an amazing lady who is featured on our website. We now have our album available for download sales at Bandcamp, though you can still listen to the music for free at all of our sites. All proceeds from the album will go to help Donna get a wheelchair lift for her van. Donna, who has Cerebral Palsy, was born with two strikes against her. She's been "left out in the cold" for most of her life. Let's help her to at least get in the game! Click here for our album. If you enjoy the music, please spread the word.

Poverty, and the increasingly wide gap between the rich and the poor is the subject of some of our songs.
I wrote the song "The Ghetto" to express my anger and frustration over the way the powerless are treated in America(it's not much better elsewhere). The rich and powerful grab all the wealth for themselves...the rest of us fight over the crumbs. It is not a song about Blacks and Whites, by the way. It's about the have's and the have nots. The Ghetto in the title could just as well refer to a Mexican or Puerto Rican neighborhood, as an African-American one. And, for centuries the Jews in Europe lived in ghettos. Unless we learn to "love thy neighbor..." it is likely we will destroy ourselves and the whole planet as well.
Music is often about having a musical vision and that being brought out. Your doing this and I commend you for it. These songs of yours are unique and amazing at the same time. Love them all.
HI! Just to let you know, I agree with what you are saying about poverty. I can't say I live in a posh neighbourhood myself. There is no country club down the road, unless you can consider the community center, where the social services officeis located, next to the church that hosts the soup kitchen, as qualifying.
I finally got a broadband connection. Now I can stream music without waiting forever to load a song....yeah!! I'm trying to edit the page a bit at the moment but not having much luck. Happy New Year to you too...and to all the good folks at POP!
