(I meant to post the comment below against your version of Red House (or Izabella).)

[relent3223]

James, this is seriously good stuff. It makes me think of John Frusciante learning the RHCP songs and then joining the band. Your control is amazing. I don't know whether you want to make a career out of music - seems there are other strings to your bow - but if you do I hope someone big like Trent Reznor stumbles across you and puts you directly onto the big stage!

[jwwetzel]

relent - hahaha it's all good!! If I could, I think I'd like a career in music.

[eflat377]

COOL!

[jwwetzel]

eflat - :)

Looks like you come from a great family. My grandpa loves music - His collection spans from the 40's thru today. He used to sing to us a lot, and we have learned to love all kinds of music from him. This was cool.

[jwwetzel]

Rachel :) thank youuuuuuuuuu I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

[imh3r3now1]

lol, my whole family THINKS we have musical talent, but my little bro is the only one that actually DOES :-P

You're whole family seems like it DOES ;-)

[jwwetzel]

imherenow - haha yea, most everyone of my family members did music professionally one time or another sometime in their life!

[mrchilli]

[CodyPettengill]

Your grandpa has mad skillz!

My grandpa wrote a little jam similar to it, but its more of a scale type exercise than actually a song.

Maybe I'll post it one day.
