Concept Image

It’s been a long couple months, from traveling to California for the SLCC 09, where I had the opportunity (which I Took FULL advantage of) to meet many of the musicians and people that have supported my music, over the years. One of the highlights was hearing Philip Lindens Keynote  on Virtual Worlds….Second Life.  Cylindrian, Beth Odets, Mash Rhode, Lyndon Heart, EvaMoon, Katydidsomething, Apple and Nusas…and SO many more, were great highlights! Jammin in the lobby with Dan, (RosedropRust) and Pato Milo were Highlights as well.

So now things simmer a bit…but not much, and I’m pushing myself 1. to find a job……. but also, in my spare time, I’m pushing the New CD. I don’t have a title yet, but it has a slight ‘string theme’ of redemption, forgiveness, mercy, sin with heavy flavors of distorted religion and sex. Great combo? Not sure, but that’s how I write and DAMN if I can help how I write. That is something I have little control over. When the song wants to come out, just like giving birth, you’re sometimes not sure WHAT it’s going to be or HOW it’s going to arrange itself…..Words are like puzzle pieces in my mind and it’s up to me to put them in an order, the feels right, to what I want to present you listeners with. Sometimes this is my greatest struggle, but I am always satisfied, the day…that I can present it….when it ‘feels’ finished.

I’ve been messing around with some photography ideas for a new Image for the cd, and of course WHAT SONGS do I put on this new cd?

I have had the THRILL of having other Second Life Musicians ask to do my songs. Naga Flow, Morton Shamen, Capo Freenote and Strummer Vultee have all done various songs of mine.

Flowers Against My Dress. Lover. Dirty Water (which has been requested to put on the new cd, so it will be) as well as “Dirty Sick Perversion….and few others that are being strummed, picked and jammed across the grid and each musician puts their own special ingredients in it….I LOVE how people interpret music, it’s a beautiful thing!

For those of you in Second Life, it’s been a bit since I’ve been in, and really did anything. I’ve been rather consumed by getting this CD, ‘RIGHT’ in my head, heart, soul…before I put it all together.   The POETIC ACOUSTIC theme I’ve been weaving, will be a big part of the new CD, and I will put it on iTunes etc…..I have also posted several songs on thesixtyone.com/juelresistance, So if you get a chance….check them out!

OCT 11, is a big deal for me…as I will be playing one of those Rare Live Shows…This time, at the University of North Dakota…for “National Coming Out Day”…my musical friend MJ KROLL will be performing as well, and thanks to HER, this is possible. She rocks my soul!

If you have suggestions on an Original I’ve done, that is not on the other CD’s, Please let me know, as it’s always great to have a lil direction on how you feel about my  music, lyrics, art and all that ‘STUFF’.

So please…..leave me some suggestions and THANK YOU kind reader, for your time :)
