GypsyJack Guitar Slinger for Hire!

"Gypsy" Jack van Breen; Guitar(s), Vocals, Bass, Keys, Drums and General Nonsense: Gj (as he's randomly known by his cyber friends) has been an active participent in the local music scene for longer than most of you have been breathin. But that doesn't prevent him from an amazin amount of musical enthusiasm that provides color and flame to the many musical tribes he's been known to associate with. sound. (although it sometimes causes him to forget which guitar he is *supposed* to be playing) His musical experinces range from 20's rag time to Monster Metal, with double stops many places in between. (his *other* experiences he refuses to talk about without the presense of his lawyer) During the course of his vastly varied musical career, his musical paths have crossed with many local favorites, like the Doobies, Tower of Power, and Sons of Champlin. His favorite Food Groups are Chocolate Donuts and Dr Pepper, and if he is crowned Queen he will use his title to work for Whirled Peas:)

I've got a couple of *very* Rough Mixes from my current CD as well as some tunes for the next one. Please note that *none*of these even have the final basic tracks, ie: everything will be re-recorded before I press anything. These are more like a rough sketch to see if the idea's even work:)
