Music. All kinds. Many Featured Youtube Artists and playlists found here. There are currently over 240 playlists to explore and choose from. Become my friend and if you are a musician I will eventually feature you via playlist of your videos (sometimes it takes a while). This Channel is dedicated to assisting online musicians in improving their ratings on youtube via cross-linkage and keeping it all organized.

The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose. - "Kahlil Gibran"

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is the present, that's why they call it a gift.

I like REAL music. Music is open to interpretation which means that what is REAL to some totally eludes others. A good musician is patient and a good listener keeps an open mind.

My Guitars:
Electrics:
I currently own a 7 String Fender Stagemaster and a Dean Vendetta (The Dean is Super Light, Cheap, and sounds OK for an axe that set me back 80 bucks NIB). The Fender 7 String is a project I am slowly working on restoring starting with the blue metallic paint job I sprayed her with.
Acoustic:
I just picked up a Mitchell MD-100 NIB for a penny shy of a hundred bucks. Guitar Center was having a 44th Birthday Celebration and I liked the tone of this cheap guitar. It has a laminated spruce top (prefer solid but the MD-100S is 50 to 80 bucks more expensive) and is 25.5 scale but sounds better than many other acoustics in the price range I have checked out recently (would prefer to get a shorter scale if only I could afford one). It was affordable and plays real nice for a cheap Dreadnought. Wayne Mitchell, the founder of Guitar Center, is the reason these inexpensive guitars are available. Mitchell is the Guitar Center Brand (not to be confused with Bil Mitchell handmade acoustics).

Hometown: Portland, OR
Country: United States
Occupation: Retired Telecom Monkey
Schools: Pioneer Pacific College
Interests and Hobbies: Harmonica, Guitar, Music Theory, Music History, Music Folklore, Folk instruments, Didgeridoo, Dogs, Cats, Martial Arts, Nunchaku Spinning, Philosophy, Science, Electronics, Reading, and Online Research on Anything and Everything. I am known by my associates as an Expert on many things and a Master of practically nothing... Some see me as an Idiot Savant that has the Idiot part nearly Mastered but has an inner Savant that likes to play hide and go seek...I collect and play Harmonicas and am learning to repair, re-tune, and modify them.
Movies and Shows: The Godfather, Eastern Promises, The Sopranos, and any show that depicts players getting wet and TCB. Coming for Christmas 2008: http://www.marleyandmemovie.com/
Music: REAL music. Anything that helps balance out my abnormal brainwaves...I especially dig the sounds of a good Harmonica player tearing it up. I am a Harmonicist and devotee to the preservation and advancement of the Harmonica as both a fine musical instrument and fascinating piece of History as well as an important addition to the musical folklore of various cultures. My Favorite Harmonica Maker is: http://seydel1847.com .... I also play: http://www.suzukiharmonica.com/ .... and: http://bushmanharmonicas.com/ .... and of course: http://www.hohnerusa.com/ .... and a couple of these too: http://www.leeoskar.com/
Books: Dim Mak in one easy step called a gun, Tao Te Ching, Marley and Me, Dynamic Nunchaku by Tadashi Yamashita, and Nikola Tesla's 'Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency'... Food For Thought: A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE. They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE. The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, 'After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?' The other friend replied 'When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.' LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

Paul DeLay 10 Videos
Paul Joseph deLay (January 31, 1952, Portland, Oregon - March 7, 2007), was an American blues vocalist and harmonicist.

DeLay's musical career started in the early 1970s with a band called "Brown Sugar", which played numerous West Coast gigs. In 1976, he and guitarist Jim Mesi formed the Paul deLay Blues Band, which performed well into the 1980s. The band also recorded several albums during that time.

By the late 1980s, deLay was suffering from alcohol and cocaine addiction. In 1990, he was arrested for drug trafficking, and served a 41-month prison sentence. While he was incarcerated, his band continued without him, performing as the "No deLay Band" and featuring longtime Portland blueswoman Linda Hornbuckle as lead vocalist in lieu of deLay. Upon his release from prison, deLay (now clean and sober) rejoined the band and recorded a series of critically-acclaimed albums.

In 2002 deLay assembled the final version of his band, with David Vest sharing lead vocals and playing piano, Peter Dammann on guitar, and Jeff Minnick and Dave Kahl on drums and bass. A live CD featuring this lineup was released in 2007, entering the Top Ten on Billboard's national blues chart.

Paul deLay continued touring and recording until his final illness. In March 2007, after returning to Portland from a gig in Klamath Falls, Oregon, deLay felt ill and sought medical treatment. It was discovered that he was suffering from end-stage leukemia; he soon lapsed into a coma from which he would not recover. He died in Portland on March 7, 2007, aged 55. Memorial concerts in Portland and Seattle attracted large audiences.
