Paypal requires that I am a non profit organization.
Therefore purchase of this music online is through CD Baby only. There is a hot button, which is in color on my store page to save you time. I am associated with a non-profit organization but, they have not had events which allowed me to sell my music so far. If you have problems ordering from the store email me at mommusik6@aol.com subject CD sales.

That is not a problem for gigs though since I have a CD Baby credit card machine.

I look forward to hearing from one of the two cafe's I submitted my EPK  to a couple months ago.
One cafe is less than an hour away and the other is about two to three hours away.

I look forward to being invited to share my music.

What I learned from the last gig is bring your own crowd of at least ten people. The closer you
live to the gig the better chance that your friends and or fans will join you also. 

I had a couple friends who could not make it to my October 1, 2011 gig, in Gilroy, but I will use facebook
to advertise next time I have a gig. 

I would like to thank KRNN for playing "There Once Was a Man". I believe it to be
one of my most heartfelt performances recorded ever. It was on a sampler sent
to their radio station by Oasis CD Manufacturing as part of "Tools of Promotion".
The full length song is almost five minutes long. The full length version can
be heard on CD Baby on the album "Sunrise Serenade". The version heard on
KRNN is also on Jango.

Robert (Jazzy Jerome) and I went to the studio recently.  It was a wonderful experience!
This just might be Robert's best performance ever. I will let you decide. I embellished
 what Robert played rather than taking the lead this time. It might be a little different but,
I have received some positive feedback from artists like Shad Harris. I value his opinion
greatly!

Although Jango represents my sound at gigs this website represents the collaborative
efforts between Jazzy Jerome, my brother and myself,as well. 

 Soon my life will slow down enough  where I can make more music for radio and gigs.
Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest news and information.

Purpose Then and Now

Then-The first purpose of the sale of my music initially was to repay in some small way the
generosity of my past employer who offered our child a scholarship due to our financial need at the time.
I also made a contribution to my community when the CD's were first released.
Now the sale of CD's is mostly at live venues only, although  Volume 1 is still available digitally.

I have written my only symphony. Once I find a non-profit organization to sponsor me you will hear more. 

 

 I was no older than thirteen when my cousins from Southern California
came to visit. One of them accidentally broke my $1.99 album of "Fool
on the Hill" that I played on my phonograph. My Cousin Jesse, their father
insisted on buying me a new album so he bought the real version by
Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66'. There was something special about that
album. I went on to memorize parts of  "Upa Neguinho" and others. And
that is how Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66' was selected for my Jango station.

I noticed I have some fans in Brazil based on my hits so,  I want there
to be music representing many cultures since "music appreciation" is
something I enjoy as a lifestyle that started early.

Music sources say that in today's music market, songwriters should
have websites.Well, I am a songwriter/artist. The Art Walk, in Downtown Stockton
has been a wonderful experience for me and I am glad that it gave
me a chance to really interact face to face with would be fans.

I believe I should maintain my individuality for my fans, so when
I blog I will try to speak from my point of view.  I do realize that whomever
I team up with repeatedly for an instrumental could be a critical part of
my success at getting to the next level.

Recently I was invited to teamed up with Mable "Jimi" Choice and the drum circle.
It was a wonderful experience. I look forward to being a part of that again
in the future.

A lot of people prefer bands to solo artists. I acknowledge that here! This
blog is how you get a chance to hear what's happening and how you
can get involved. On Jango I have an offer whenever my fan base doubles
I offer my music on sale. I started with 20, then 40, then 80. You see how it
works. That way I greet my  new fans and say hello to existing ones.
----
Fortunately, so far I have been able to collaborate with some very
fine artists, so right now, I am satisfied with the CD's, and singles
I have put out there.  
 
I sincerely say "Thanks" to those I have worked with on both of my projects,
I also say thanks to my Jango fans for their support and comments.
 
Stay tuned for more new music in 2011!
