Hiatus to create


This past holiday 2006-07, I had an in-depth chat with my college
grad daughter about her future and then the topic strangely turned to
my own plans, like "So what are you doing with your life Dad?"

As unsettling as the truth can be, we both came to realize that my
goals beyond required a vital transformation. You know, you know what
I mean -- how easy it is to find a flow and go with it versus turning
the boat to go ashore and take stock of exactly how close the falls
are . . .

The current "flow" has been music promo since 1998 with one small
burp of creativity in 2004 with the release of my CodeX Hypnos
CD . . . and still no guitars.

So, as much as I LOVE promoting great music, my every waking moment,
I am doing nothing really creative and productive like woodshedding &
recording my own ideas. I exist too much, too deep in cyberspace. I
have been letting other artists provide the REAL art while I have
merely admired and shared my finds. That's nice, that's needed but my
own cupboard is bare except for rare solo performances to a few
hundred or more.

I spend 100s of hours "getting ready", grabbing up equipment,
studying new artists' styles, etc, etc but I am doing ZERO of my own
creation of the music I love, the ideas swirling around inside me
going unheard -- hummed, tapped out on a dashboard, whispered to
myself and then forgotten. How pathetic is that for one who loves
creativity and music -- to cast the gems given aside and then walk on.

So http://JazzRock-Radio.com is going to become semi-annually vs
every 60 days. Enjoy the current show as it will be up for a good
LONG while as it is. It's a great show and worth the run it takes.

We hit 25,000 visits/listens last night and that milestone is
wonderful but now I shall turn my eyes to the real world of feeling
my fingers caress the strings, get cables hooked, see pedals linked,
set record button armed, with levels set and the digital "tape"
rolling. And one day I WILL share my joy with you all. I hope to at
last kick out the jams and find that groove again I sadly lost after
the last band I was in dissolved over 10 years ago!!

Carry on all you fusion freak flag waving heroes!

Buy Rare Fusion Jazz Rock here!


Okay guys, you cannot imagine the hours and cyber-muscle that went into putting this show together!!



I always think this every show -- but really -- THIS TIME --

Sir JazzRock-Radio.com has outdone himself.

This baby really smokes and covers so many bases near and far in the Minkowskian Fusion World-Line that it staggers my ability to imagine all the neurons and practice sessions and takes that went into making music like this available to our mortal ears -- to "open the way" that we all can enter in . . .

I cease my epiphany.


I have finally added ALL info and shopping links for each artist so you fusion junkies can blow several hundred dollars off the show page.

BTW: I have an RR Gadow handmade axe in layaway and as well as two Event Tuned Reference Studio Monitors all due out THIS month. So, like buy something so I can earn oodles of commission / affiliate dollars AND you will be supporting the ARTISTS too! It's win-win for all of us. You hear, enjoy, discover, and buy new tunes, I make a mere pittance of kick-back moolah, and all those broke fusion bands can go buy a pizza after the gig next month!

Ciao!

if it means waiting a few decades . . .
