Behind My Eyes #1

So if you're here today because I told you I'd have a new song up you-re a sweetheart and i love you to death. That being said don't hate me because I'm having technical difficulties putting the darn thing on the site. But I can promise you I have something new for you to hear and something I hope you like and something kind of different from what I usually put out. Anyway... I'm going to keep working on this little problem I'm having and hopefully get it up in an hour or two. If it doesn't happen today I promise it will be there by the end of tomorrow because I move on to a different computer to get it all uploaded and all that jazz.

Sorry for the late arrival but I will stick something up within 24 hours I promise :-)

News Day




As promised...

Good Morning Arizona News...

It's Just You and Me...

So this week begins the first week of the "music sharing game" maybe we'll call it MSG... Even though MSG is usually a bad thing hopefully we'll come up with something brilliant and it will give a new meaning for the acronym... But what ever the letters are, or whatever you want to call this little experiment check in NEXT Sunday and I'll have posted a new tune for you all to critique the snot out of :-)

On another music front, I did a radio interview back in February and the Azrizona music Cafe was cool enough to post the interview (actually the entire show) online for all to listen to incase you missed it. Click the link to go straight to the interview. I'm about 3/4 of the way thru the interview... I use up about the last 15 or 20 minutes... :-)

Set List:
Stuff Packed Up
The Boy Next Door
The Moment You Get Back

HarleyJay Interview

Also there are photos of the interview and other fun stuff on the site so go here to check all of that out:

AzMusicCafe

Also during that time I did an interview on Channel 3 Good Morning Arizona. It was crazy, crazy, waaaay too early but I had a great time playing the show. I'll post that up on YouTube today and add the video in another post tonight so check back again later tonight before you hit the sack and that should be up and running.

Lastly, you guys are great and wonderful and thank you ALL so much for making my birthday the best ever. I was flooded with love and best wishes and it was all because of you so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Without Wax,
HJ

We've Got Work To Do...

First of all if you haven't noticed, my favorite computer vernacular has got to be "..." I don't know why. I feel like I usually finish my thoughts but maybe I need to think about it on a different level somewhere else.

Moving on... <--- {That one was on purpose}

Ok, I am going to make some time of virtual, online, computer linked, deal with you.
I think I mentioned in my last little note to all of you that I've been doing my best to write new material. Well, I'd like to include you in this venture of mine to get on the path of inspiration again. Starting March 16th 2009 every week I'm going to post a song on this Blog site. I'm not going to promise it will be good, I'm not going to promise it will be done, I'm not going to promise it will be country or rap, or folk, or hip hop, or opera, or even some type of a polka but it will be music that I wrote recorded, and put together. What I'm saying is every new week I'm going to put out a song. A song I have been working on for the entire week prior. I probably wont post an entire song... but I'll do my best to get out a verse and a chorus at least. Just something new and different and fun to listen to.

The real purpose of this is not only to give you guys something else to attach to your ear, but a real chance to create. No rules, no prior thoughts, no worries... Just create, and make, and do. Get out and say something everyone can understand, by that I mean everyone can speak "music" no matter what. I love that idea! We might not all understand exactly what it's saying, or why, or have the same thoughts on the circumstances but we can all speak it. So let's talk.

Hears another thing...
I've heard addiction is bad but, I have to admit one to all of you. If you're a fan of FaceBook you already know about "Status Updates" maybe you're a frequent updater. I always enjoyed the Status part of FaceBook. So I was told by a very good best friend of mine about "Twitter." The purpose of Twitter is nothing but Status updating. I LOVE THIS IDEA. It's basically a two sentence journal entry that could be documented at any point in your day. Plus they have an app for the iPhoen called TwitterFon, to make things that much easier on you.

That's where you go if you want to hang with me on Twitter! It'll change your life... {exaggeration but seriously it's very cool}

Ok... Check back in soon, I'll be back but make sure your here stating next week and I'll be droppin some songs on you. :-)

Be safe, be well, be happy, be grateful, be honest, be real, be inspired, be kind, and enjoy yourself.
