I'm still working on my new music release for the end of the year and everything looks good for that. I'm gonna keep the variate of music for this one that also includes some vocal tracks. Thats it for now.

Have a great month and stay safe.

Hello my Fine Friends!!

It's hard to believe that it's September already?

I new the summer would fly by but not this fast.

Oh well!!

Lets see, oh yeah, I have been working on re releasing some of my music from my first and second albums plus adding a few new tunes as well. I'm gonna Remaster some tunes from the first and remix some tunes from the second and put them together with a new project called (The Variety Collection) sounds like a lot of work but it's gonna be fun to try something different. I have been wanting to do this for a while and I think it's time to do it. This will be NO.1 in a long series that I hope will satisfy everyone including me. I'll mix some new songs in as well as some vocals. Everybody keeps asking where are the vocals? Except for my first release I haven't added a vocal song yet. So i'll mix them in with my instrumentals to make it a fun filled music project!!

So by the end of the year I'll have (The Variety Collection NO. 1) released.

Thats it for now,

I'll keep ya posted on this project!!

Have a great one,

The Junk Man.

Hello My Friends!!

I trust that everyone is having a great summer so far?

I'm writing my first review on not just a past gig but of a wonderful experience that I just had. You guessed it ( THE VINE COFFEE HOUSE )

The first thing that I must say is that when I opened the door to enter the Vine, just two steps in, I was treated like family that I haven't seen in a long time and let me tell ya, it was a great feeling indeed, like Home. Just the nicest people you'll ever want to meet. Before I get to the music part I just want to say that ( Anna Marie ) you made me feel vary welcome in a new place where I didn't know most of the people and it didn't take long for me to get comfortable in this wonderful place with wonderful new faces!! Thanks to you for that. I must also say that the Energy in and outside of the Vine coffee House is that of pure excitement because of the unbelievable musical talent that walks in and out of the doors. I really can't remember when the last time I heard such talented musicians and singers in one place? I had a great time performing at the Vine with some great talented friends, but to me, it was watching and waiting for the next act to take the stage that got me. So let me tell ya my friends, if ya want to see and hear some really great up and coming talent ? Look no further than ( THE VINE COFFEE HOUSE IN MYRTLE BEACH EVERY THIRD FRIDAY OF THE MONTH!! You can find there myspace page on my profile friends list.

They also have Lot's of room to move about, not a bad seat in the house!! great sound system and lights, TV monitors and a REALLY BIG STAGE, REALLY. I believe they can seat up to Four Hundred people, so like I said, Lot's of room.

Thanks again Anna for making me feel welcome in your special place!!

That's it for now. I want everyone to go out and have some fun this summer!! you deserve it!!

See ya next month,

The Junk Man.

Well Hello Everyone.

Looks like I have a little problem with my New Cd's. I have one Flaw on track Ten and that means I have to send back One Hundred Disc's to the manufacturer for a re-print and Replication of One Hundred. So to all my friends and family that have purchased and or received a copy, I will replace to you one new Disc!! Well, I said to myself, it could have been worse, at leased I didn't have to return one Thousand!! OK, that's it for now. I'm just glad I caught this before I send out all One Hundred, lucky me!!

The Junk Man.

Hello Everyone,

My new Acoustic album is here, yeahhhh. It is called,

I wrote the title track from a photo I took last fall while I was in Asheville NC. It's a Night Time shot from a Window display. I thought it was cool. This is the first time I wrote a song from a photograph. Heyyy you never know when insparation will strike. I have Seventeen songs on the album most written for Two or more guitars. Some songs have Percussion some have Bass guitar work and one Flute song. Sorry no Vocals this time, but the next project will have Eight. I hope everyone will enjoy this project as much as I do. Till next time,

Love & Peace,

The Junk Man.

WELL WELL WELL.

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS FINISHED WRITING MIXING AND READY TO RELEASE MY NEXT PROJECT I WENT A HEAD AND RE- WROTE MOST OF THE MUSIC . WHY? BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN IN A WORLWIND OF CREATIVE IDEAS AND HAVE DECIDED TO USE MOST OF MY NEW STUFF AND SOME OLD TUNES FROM LAST YEAR WHICH SEEMS ONLY YESTERDAY. I'M TRYING TO GIVE THIS PROJECT A CONSITENT FEEL AND STYLE WHICH 'IM NOT KNOWN FOR BUT HEY, I JUST DON'T LIKE TO HEAR MUSIC WHERE EVERYTHING STARTS TO SOUND THE SAME. NOW THAT THATS SAID, IT'S TIME TO GET BACK TO TO WRITING AND ADDING MORE TUNES THEN I SHOULD, PEACE AND TRANQUILLITY.

Hello everyone.

I just finished mixing my new acoustic project and getting vary excited about it. All that is left is to get the thing mastered and pressed. I should have it out on the market sometime early spring. I still haven't marketed last years project. It will be available at Cd baby and itunes vary soon. I'm already working on the next project as I type this. what can I say, always keep busy in this Business. I already have all the music for the next project recorded, so the hard part for me is to pick and chose which ones to release. If I could put a Hundred songs on a disc, I would. I'll keep ya posted on this.
