Your Music takes me to.............

Good Day Music Friends,

I had a very warm conversation with a gentleman at a recent gig in Knightdale NC. He immediately took a liking to the steel drums and came out onto the patio and listend to my music. He mentioned that he loved Merengue, salsa, and bachata and reggae. He said " Steel Drums take me to a place where I'd rather be" I assured him that I would've played all of those styles for his listening pleasure. After further conversation, it became apparent to me as to why he loved the latin styles of music- His wife and son, both of latin origin, had been stuck abroad for the past year due to pending immigration proceedings. I realized that the music transported him to joyous moments he had shared with his wife and son. I glady accepted his invitation to play at his family homecoming party! Keep your Faith and chin up my friend.

Hello Music Friends

I spent my afternoon with the church family of Friendship Christian Center in Gastonia NC. They were super kind and I felt welcomed. The sound of steel drums added the right touch to their tropical themed BBQ. I was happy to fill the air with music while the members ate and mingled. The evening was a mixture of praise and worship by their lively praise team, poems written by the congregation, dances, and steel drums. The blend was just right in that it allowed me to listen to the other talent on hand as well as share my own music. I'm thankful for the opportunities that God has given me. Thank you for your kindness Friendship.

Hello Music friends

A few months ago I was introduced to the marvels of an onboard GPS system. Since I never really drove much, nor did I care to stop making stops to ask for directions, I never really thought much about it. However, I must say that I've had a change of heart. After using one this past weekend I'm sold. I'm going to scour ebay and the pawn shops to purchase my very own. Its funny how you notice things once you get involved with them...for example I noticed that just about Everyone on the highway had a GPS...even the motorcycle dude. I already have plans to use it when I get my 50 cc scooter to zip around town!

Looking for a Steel Drummer?

Hi Music friends,

I recently joined the www.gigsalad.com network. I've had good results with www.gigmasters.com and I'm trying to increase my visibility. What I like about their site is that my contact info is listed on their page which in turn allows potential customer to contact me directly. Another plus is that their visitor rankings are high on www.Alexia.com. Hopefully I will continue to get invitation to share my music. My buddy once told me that people will hire me if they knew I existed.

Stop by and visit!

Hello Music friends

I finally made my way to Charleston SC. Despite its dark past as a major slave trading depot, the downtown area has a very nice contrast of artsy yet historic feel. The cafes, restaurants and lively downtown made it artsy, while the Victorian houses and brick mansions maintained its history. Nonetheless my private performance promted the family to ask me to stay over and play longer than the alotted time. I'm always please when my customer enjoy my music to the point where the want to hear more of it. A great time was had by all.

Nothing like Family

Hello Music friends,

I love the versatility of the steel drum and its ability to play all genres of music and how it fits into any setting. I was thrilled to be invited to supply music for the Thompson Family Reunion. Their hospitality was super and they were a loving group of people. An unexpected highlight occurred when one of the family members accompanied me on guitar. Mr Jay Thompson. www.jayalanthompson.com. Mr Thompson is " sick" on the guitar! He knows his instrument and plays with sincerity. I was honored to be part of such a personal event and thrilled that I was able to "shed" with another musician.
