Acoustic Show @ ROOM 5 in Hollywood Feb. 6th

Let me get to the thank you first please :-)

A week or more back I sent out a favor to you guys asking for your help getting my record played more on the radio. You did an incredible job and we had success!! Thank you all so much for taking the time out to help. I'm a very blessed human being and I owe my blessings to all of you. Thank you very much.

Also if you're in the Los Angeles/Hollywood area next week and feel like coming to a live music show come out to Room 5 in Hollywood... It's a very cool gig spot with a very comfy intimate vibe. I'll be playing with my very close friend Phil Daniel who is a whiz on the guitar and has some pretty insane vocals to add to it. It'll be a great show and I don't play too often to play in CA or to play with Phil so come out and hang for 30 minutes with us.

DETAILS:
Room 5 on La Brea in Hollywood
February 6th
Show time is at 7:50 (we are playing 30-40 minutes)
$10.00 @ the door


Check out the poster on the bottom for address details...



LASTLY:
My band and I are opening up for Two Time Grammy Nominee (could be Grammy winner after Feb. 8th we shall see) James Otto in Az at WestWorld Area in Scottsdale on Valentines Day... This one is a big one for me so if you can make it out to the show please do! Plus it's only $11.00. For 11.00 you can see The Lovell Sister (who are the bomb and sound a lot like an all girls version of Nickel Creek) Myself, and James Otto... Sounds like a really cheap, fun filled date night to me :-)

Out self promo is done now. I think you guys are great and I'm wishing you all a very safe and hopefully soon to be warm couple of weeks coming up. Be well and keep smiling.

Without Wax,
HJ....

The Shower...

I don't know why I get what feels like ALL of my thinking done in the shower for. Maybe it's because I know no one will interrupt me there or maybe hot water has something to do with the way I think... odd. BUt I've heard a lot of people do they're best thinking in the shower. Apparently Sting wrote "Message in a Bottle" while in the shower and I hear John Lennon has done the same for quite a few Beatles tunes.

Anyway, while I was in the shower today I..... Pause... HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I totally don't want to forget that new exciting turn of events we just had. I hope everyone had a very nice New Years Eve and let's really do something great with 2009.

OK while I was in the shower for some reason the thought of "Evolving" and "Changing" came into my head. I think I've come to the conclusion that they are totally different. I will say this though and I could be very wrong which I have no problem admitting but... I feel like "Evolving" is a wonderful thing that can never go wrong. If you are "Evolving" you're growing you're living, you're experiencing, you're dreaming, you're becoming, you're learning, you're expanding and rounding yourself out. Which I feel like is never a bad thing in the slightest, who doesn't want to do that? Who doesn't want to branch out and live a little? Learn about things you like, don't like, cant get enough of and could probably do without for awhile?

On the flip yet same side, is "Changing." Sometimes I guess change can be for the bad. I would hope that it would always be for the good but I know that I've done somethings or changed somethings that honestly probably should have stayed the same just branched out or grew up a little... Evolved if you will :-)

So I know my last little post was about resolutions and goals and crap but I think that my biggest resolution will be to Evolve. I capitalize it because I like to by the way, I feel like it looks like it has more power or purpose or something. But not only Evolve, I want to understand when I'm doing it and be excited about it. I don't mean excited like call a high school band to play a pep rally on my behalf with cake, and a hypnotist (we had that when I was in high school at a pep rally once, it was like the best day of my life) but I mean learn from not only others but myself. I hope that came out right.

So that's my thought for today. "Evolution can be a Revolution." Maybe that's what I want to say. :-)
