More About OMNICELLS BELEIFS>>..:
Although I was born with white skin I am not white.. I am brown, A lighter shade of grey... I am an African man... Displaced from my original aboriginal ancestors so many millennium ago....
10 thousand years ago I walked hand in hand with my african brothers and sisters....
Little did I know that only a few years ago part of this vast tribe would split of into self consumed vanity.... they would try to mercilessly butcher thier own near-by cousins, and experiment on them, trying to brain-wash them into thinking they were live stock to be auctioned off like chattel at a farm....
IN THE BEGINNING:
My people were split into tribes.. My tribe of central Africa.. Near the water ways, made treck to a new land... You know it as Europa--------
You see they thought they were better then thier brothers, better then thier sisters.. and instead of humbling themselvs to the God that created all , and helping out thier brethren tribesman.. They secretly in the night, barbarically and methodically vanished when thier fellow tribesmen-countryman were in trouble and innocently cried for out for help as God had instructed them.....But Thier nearby cousins had vanished.. Never to be seen again until a later time...
THe new Europa's left thier other families and tribesman to die.... ( This will be a reacuring theme that unfolds much misory upon the world and themselves over and over and over.. ..)
a Continent of cold bitter people they became...In this new land.. Some say the cold weather is what made them so mean....
Basking in their own self centered selfishness.. The collecting of stones for the sake of bartering, became all that they thought about...
And a new rule emerged.... THOSE WITH THE MOST STONES WILL BE CONSIDERED BETTER THEN THOSE WITH OUT...... and the originata... The GOd child who created them, was all put forgot about.... as their greed had but all consumed them....
-and so important did they become that they would take ropes and put them around innocent peoples necks and hang them.... inorder to hide thier greed for power and thier all consuming worship of evil..... ANd never once would they... ( THESE MURDERES ), admit that they were in the wrong...
Finally they took over the indian territories of the Americas... ... and killed literally millions of people.... And all in front of God.... Do they care today.. NO..!! Do think of thier origins and what they have done.. NO.!!! do they care about thier African cousins today.... NO...!! Now, worse then ever.... They dont even acknollege that anyone else exists then themselves.. or each other, and as they bleed more and more and more from within.. They devour thier own children, thier old, and even finally themsleves.. and all for the perpuse that they may retire one day so that they may get back at the man....
They live to create resentments.. , Yet they die by the same resentments that they so want revenge for... They claim to be the victems, while they murder others around them, and even those in thier own familys....
How hard it was for this African Ancestor to wake up and realize, I had not been the victem,, but I was actually the one with the wip....
I will never go back.. never...!!!
I am a world man now.. I belong to no culture... I belong to all cultures as a spiritual leader.... Hoever, I am still a spiritual council member of the Americanana tribe of the starved martyr civilization that I was born in...... I am a world conscious perspective.... A Maclum-X drivitive...
..... Dont get me wrong.. I love my country.. but my White People as hopless, lost, and feable as they are today.. are still in the wrong... America is a place of _(EVENESS) And all people all even in it..!!! , and with equal rights.. all .........
THOUGHTS ON THE PRESEDENT..... WHAT IS EXCEPTABLE.. WHAT IS NOT...!!!
He is suppose to be the president for the whole of the country.. Not just a few....
All people in my country have the right to believe that the President of the nation represents all people.. Not just a select group of the few.. And My people have the right to believe that he is on thier side, not against them....
Thier not suppose to believe that because of thier ethnic background, thier president doesn't even like them....
Condoleezza Rice said it best... Paraphrased .." We need a President and someone in charge of this country for the REST OF US>... "....
However, The president of the United states is not responsible for my Happiness. He is not going to save me.. He is suppose to save the country.. Turning him into a savior cult figure will not work...
I have to look to within... It is an inside job... I cant think my way into a new way of living... I have to work my way into a new way of thinking...
I must start a journey.. I will have to become willing... Willing, Willing, Willing,. Willing.. Wlling...
I must let go of this world as it is.. and except a higher internal fountain..... a fountain of timeless energy... God.....
This starts with an idea.. And this idea is implanted by God when I prey to him for help to start the rest of my life.. The journey...
The water of life.... THE SLEEPER MUST AWAKEN....!!!
I have a dream.... Just like Martin Luther King.. I to have a Dream.....
For what Tupoc was murdered for, and Malcum X.. I to have a dream..... !!!
I will never except my white brothers until they learn to lay down thier evil pretense and greed..
-and begin loving thier neighbors .... and except that in this country of America, White is not right....White is not a skin color but a cult.. a cult of murderes that seporate and destroy everything they get thier hands on... Now not all of those with light brown skin like myself are White.. We just live around the white ..and through the white and below and above the white...
White is the sir name of the ADULT HILTER CONCEPTUAL.. The Third Reich .. The AFRICAN APARTIDE... For nothing has changed... This is a Country of Neutrality.... it belongs to know one.. it belongs to everyone.... It belongs to the children.. ...
Until they acknowledge that people who have brown skin, red skin, yellow skin...., are just as much Human beings and equal Americans.. and until they acknowledge they are the same and from the same background .. I will not associate with them as white... I will help heal them as a leader among them, but nothing more.....
I am appalled and shocked to see what they have done to thier fellow countryman.... and how they have treated all others as second class citizens.. And how they have lashed the inocent with thier ropes.. and lashed the oppressed with thier prisons, and lashed the hopless with thier Money Gods.... and how they imprisson the children of the mind, in thier steal emotianal cages... Leaving them in want and spiritual hunger, day after day, after day....
aS long as this onslaught of Apartheid continues, I denounce my position in the white race.... and I am now World Mann... A Universal explorer... A Solar Man... A Solar Man seeking God... A solar battery... I am OMNICELL
A DAY IN THE LIFE WITH OMNICELL:
NOTE.. ABOUT DEALING WITH PEOPLE IN THIS SOCIETY....
DEALING WITH WOMEN:
OMNICELL'S BACKGROUND AND LIFE:
I am a musician-composer/artist/ Writer-Poet/ public Speaker/Dancer/Possible actor-Mime , with more work.../ Story teller/Resurrected African Griot ...../Curious photographer.
My Hobbies are
Astronomy
Mountain biking
Skiing instructing.. Although, I used to do this.. Im looking forward to starting this again.. Although it as been years since I participated.. But this is changing as I change....
I started playing drums at age 5.. I had my first drum solo at age 6 in first grade.... and it all took off from thier.. Drum and bugle core in my early years... Then, playing to Beetles, Monkeys, Step'nwolf, Cream, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple.... The Doors.... Moadtha-Hoople....
In the 70's it was all Led Zeppelin And Rush....
Then came Drum learning... Steve Gadd, Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, Airto, Roy Burns and drumset artistry, Advanced Techniques for the modern drummer... and the Basic and expanded rudiments... ... and my first real drumset at age 18... an all maple Rogers kit.. Red stain.... 15 piece double bass.. Great set, but as those who have ever toured learn fairly quicky.. Never take a set like this into the public..Keep it in the studio... It get beat-up fast.. Better to have simple birch set with a strong plastic rap of some-kind around the outer shell. or Polyurethane or fiberglass kit.. Something that can be thrown around and have beer spilled on it, and have things thrown at it....
Then at age 14 I began to experiment naturally out of curiosity on the Piano.. I wanted to be like Paul McCarteny of the Beetles when I grew up... Thus came the interest in Jazz and Classical music... and moved into a study of western tonality... back to the 950 to the present 2008.. Many incredible genius thinkers in this field.. To many to mention.. But I will mention a common denominator of all of them... JS Bach... and the study of counterpoint in "Gradus ad Parnassum" by Johann Joseph Fux.
Fux kept the idea of counterpoint alive through the 17th century.. To the point that important composers picked its interest up again, so that the classical age, could exist and move on to Beethoven and all of that....
Bach is the pinnacle of western tonality.. and his advanced tonality structure, "Common Practice peried theory "...... in my opinion is still the strongest single element of music ever created.. If one can master the closed, open concepts of counter-punctual 4 part writing.. Ones music will be 100 times stronger then those other music writers around them.. and the Universe will be just a little closer then before....
FINALE.. My other best Friend... My music Notation Program is my other Axe.. It is my other instrument.. My cyber instrument.... An extension of my musical 3D minds eye...
I love intricate complex four part writing.... Im not that good at it.. but I love doing it.... Its challenging, and fun, and Im proud to be apart of such a long tradition of discipline and dedication .. and hope that someday, Like Fux...., I will be good enough to actually understand fully what I am doing...
ON WITH THE SHOW>......
By the time I was 21 I was offered a Production contract to go big-time as a drummer in the Portland Oregon area.. I would be playing for big acts, like Elton John, Gladys Night and the Pips, or who ever else showed up in-town that didn't have a backup band with them.. I would be part of the Coliseum Backup band... On call....
I choked.. and never showed up....
My life was already falling apart.... mental illness, alcohol, The inability to manage my own personal life was taking its toll....
I was quit a smart lad, and spent many years at the University while I was going through all of this insanity and I some how was able to finish a bachelors degree in Humanities/Minor in Business, with several extra years of University exploration.... and I was suffering from dyslexia... I write backwards at times.. See upside-down words and phrases.. I write letters backwards, upside down, and in the wrong position and direction... as well as backward parts of sentences...
This is not an intellectual problem but a problem with my eyes... My eyes do not track... meaning that they will not move from one word to another.. they wonder off... This makes things very difficult.. Im a fast competent reader... Why.. My intelligence plays apart.. Ive trained my self to be ultra-quick with words... but Im secretly always fighting my eyes.... and my spelling has been permanently destroyed at the root level.. The is nothing that can be done about that... ... Thier just isn't.... I live with it...
OK.. Back to the Story:..........
However, My condition Got worse.. and I didn't want to live anymore...
Death was all I sought.. and the Grim Reaper more and more and more, was becoming my only Friend and Peace giver...
Finally the Suicide attempts started.. and the Long bouts of insanity with Clinical Depression, Phobias, PTSD, and Social anxiety challenges...
I couldn't work anymore.... I was put on disability with the idea, that I would be a mental Cripple the rest of my life.. Rarely leaving my apartment and probably my only social outlet would be 12 step groups and thier tribe of people.... In fact, I could hardly keep myself alive..
I gave up music at age 21, and never to return... I was frustrated with it, and couldn't seem to concentrate anymore, or start anything or finish anything I started.....
25 years later......
I was in the Nut House for Agoraphobia... I had been in thier for two weeks with all of my wonderful " LA LA " Friends....
When I got out... I had nothing to do.. But just sit in my apartment day after day after day.. I was still going back to my 12 step groups.. But other then that had nothing.. And I MEAN NOTHING TO DO... I had learned to Mountain Bike but the Agoraphobia was so strong that I gave up outside activities....
THier sat my Roland S 88 Fantom Piano.... It was bought for me some three years before.... by my Mother .. A present from her and God..... Be Grateful Beeeeeeeee Grateful...
It didn't work of-course.... I never played the piano again....
But one day God finally broke me.... I was so board, that I asked God for direction. Any flipp'n direction. I didn't care if i had to bang to sticks together.. anything would be better then just being forced to do nothing... , how things can change with a little motivation....
and with that....
My soul looked around for something to do in that room... and ...
Thier was the Piano.. I had no interest in it, and could not hardly play it.. It had been 25 years....
So, with a little courage, I went to it , sat down, and with no pretension or thought, just told myself I would start plucking notes, and see what happens. Not for the purpose of purpose.. But, just for something to do to pass the time... Believe me a very subdued Humble beginning.......
And so it started.. It took a year for my fingers to come back...... and the rest is history... I started writing my first real song that was completed start to finish.. What a triumphant feeling that was...
Then one day, I told myself and others that my goal and fantasy was to get on one of those websites were one has thier own music page that is shared with other musicians online...!!! "An online music community.. "
and so, here I am......
After spending almost 10 years in the 12 step groups of recovery, I ventured out back into the real world....
I was preying to God for help , I knew that somehow I needed to play drums again.... But how.. I had little money and no understanding on how to manage my social life in the outside world...
THE CHURCH....
Many 12 step people were going to this 4 square church... So one day I ventured 4th and thought I would try it.. It was tough... I didn't like church at first....
The Pasture of the church was quit a different sort of Pastor... he listened and cared about others dreams.. and one day after hearing me play the Piano in the main hall.. asked me if I would bring my keyboard in and play a song for the church on Sunday.. I did.. That song was NINA'S SONG... this song is on Icomps....
From Thier I joined the church band.... Playing second Piano and singing.. I was doing so well singing , that the church bought me Singing lessons for a good long while...
But I had other Goals.... With a little help from God an old drumset showed up to the church from a patron that was either going to throw it away or sell it as junk....
I was doing some labor work for him for some extra cash, and suggested that he bring it to the church for the kids to play on sundays...
Well, several weeks had passed, and I found myself playing them more then the kids.. Several, months passed.. and I was now the official church drummer....
From thier I got on zzounds.com, and with a little help from God, and some creative financing, I was able to procure a beautiful Gretch all maple Drumset...
and the rest is history...
Im now the official church composer for the group.....
These days Im a drummer and composer and performer at a church... Drum Rent is free.. I can use the place as a studio anytime I want.. Drag My computer gear in and record my Singer/SongWriter stuff, ... When I get ready..?... at my hearts content.. But it goes further then that...
More importantly...
I help others discover thier ability to participate.....
I write poems that are performed to music... Christian or Liturgical Spoken word...
Im Now, helping others recite thier own poems to my music or theirs...
In some cases, Im helping them write thier own music, teaching them to play the piano, then someone new will come up and recite the poem while they are on the piano and Im on the drums... Its all growing.... More and more people are getting involved.... SO thier may be several people involved in a musical project..... I make it so its easy to participate on an instrument...
And when writing for church, it can only be up to 5 minutes long.. Musical material can be complex and classical.. if chosen, However, all Poems need to be of simple vocabulary and easy to understand and read... And usually with a simple chorus repeating itself over and over... For example:
CHorus... I LOVE YOU GOD FOR SO MANY WAYS...
Verse 1. because you stand be every day..
CHorus.. I LOVE YOU GOD FOR SO MANY WAYS....
Verse 2. and I will worship you for ever...
Bla Bla Bla....
You get the point... A very interesting situation.... Things have to be simple as ones church audience is not always that well educated, or understanding of things.. ITs a great test of working and composing in the real world....
The nice think about poetry reading and classical music, is that its excepted by all ages... ROCK IS NOT>.... Im not allowed by the Pastor to create Rock songs for service.. ALthough Im good at it....
Because Of my participation and interest in the church. I get a studio, and even get to rob the Kitchen and eat at times....
Not a bad deal for a guy like me who is just coming back into the world and trying to learn to get on his feet again...
AT the present...
Im in the Gym everyday..
I practice my Singer/Songwriter material at the church everyday...
I practice Drums at the church everyday..
I work on lyric writing several times a week.. This is challenging....
Im learning to work again.. I work 2 or three times a week. 4 hours at a time.. My goal is to do this, and look for work for one year... to learn to be "....OUT THERE AGIAN IN THE REAL WORLD>.. ".. I can really use the money.. as an SSI check doesn't go that fare...
Ive learned from Homelessness, to save that money no matter what, and sacrifice for what I want, and what God ordains is right for me.. and it works..
The Universe is definitely bending towards my direction and thoughts, and creating things out of thin air, that I could have only dreamed of several years ago...
Im still in recovery.. but not as much.. Im in an interim position .... Slowly learning how to be a human being again around other human-beings in society...
America is a horribly brutal place, Psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually.. So it not easy... Theirs a reason us Americans kill everything insight In every war we participate in.. and why we are the toughest people on earth...
Unfortunately the homeland at times is no different then the wars we participate in..... and more innocent people die in our country from giving up from sadness , then all the severed heads of the people we butcher under the knife on enemy soil......
ITs to bad.. It is really to bad..... So very sad.. So very very sad to see all of this happing to my Countryman... I prey everyday for relief for my people.. Everyday that they will find a God to believe in so that they may be children again inside.. Inside the deepest part of thier souls.. And not gladiators of world conquest and survival.. Where for every winner, thier are ten slain....
I prey for the children, that they wont get eaten alive by this brutalic money system, that turns Humans into machines for the better part of the state to use as cannon faughter... I just prey for my people that they will wake up.... Wake up.. Wake up..... and have peace....
My Goal at this point is two areas..
Live Music....
Fabor Draw Jowlyn.... This is the new age/ world/ jazz/ classical group...
OMNI and the Renegades.. . This is the Singer/Songwriter Rock Group...
Da Baron's In da Houz'n.. This is my Hip-Hop / Rap group....
Im writing Songs rite now for singing.... I will be posting the first one in several months... I have several, put they need more work, and lyric writing.. Im excited to start my Singer/Songwriter segment of my musical experience....
Thanks for reading....

More About OMNICELLS BELEIFS>>..:
Although I was born with white skin I am not white.. I am brown, A lighter shade of grey... I am an African man... Displaced from my original aboriginal ancestors so many millennium ago....
10 thousand years ago I walked hand in hand with my african brothers and sisters....
Little did I know that only a few years ago part of this vast tribe would split of into self consumed vanity.... they would try to mercilessly butcher thier own near-by cousins, and experiment on them, trying to brain-wash them into thinking they were live stock to be auctioned off like chattel at a farm....
IN THE BEGINNING:
My people were split into tribes.. My tribe of central Africa.. Near the water ways, made treck to a new land... You know it as Europa--------
You see they thought they were better then thier brothers, better then thier sisters.. and instead of humbling themselvs to the God that created all , and helping out thier brethren tribesman.. They secretly in the night, barbarically and methodically vanished when thier fellow tribesmen-countryman were in trouble and innocently cried for out for help as God had instructed them.....But Thier nearby cousins had vanished.. Never to be seen again until a later time...
THe new Europa's left thier other families and tribesman to die.... ( This will be a reacuring theme that unfolds much misory upon the world and themselves over and over and over.. ..)
a Continent of cold bitter people they became...In this new land.. Some say the cold weather is what made them so mean....
Basking in their own self centered selfishness.. The collecting of stones for the sake of bartering, became all that they thought about...
And a new rule emerged.... THOSE WITH THE MOST STONES WILL BE CONSIDERED BETTER THEN THOSE WITH OUT...... and the originata... The GOd child who created them, was all put forgot about.... as their greed had but all consumed them....
-and so important did they become that they would take ropes and put them around innocent peoples necks and hang them.... inorder to hide thier greed for power and thier all consuming worship of evil..... ANd never once would they... ( THESE MURDERES ), admit that they were in the wrong...
Finally they took over the indian territories of the Americas... ... and killed literally millions of people.... And all in front of God.... Do they care today.. NO..!! Do think of thier origins and what they have done.. NO.!!! do they care about thier African cousins today.... NO...!! Now, worse then ever.... They dont even acknollege that anyone else exists then themselves.. or each other, and as they bleed more and more and more from within.. They devour thier own children, thier old, and even finally themsleves.. and all for the perpuse that they may retire one day so that they may get back at the man....
They live to create resentments.. , Yet they die by the same resentments that they so want revenge for... They claim to be the victems, while they murder others around them, and even those in thier own familys....
How hard it was for this African Ancestor to wake up and realize, I had not been the victem,, but I was actually the one with the wip....
I will never go back.. never...!!!
I am a world man now.. I belong to no culture... I belong to all cultures as a spiritual leader.... Hoever, I am still a spiritual council member of the Americanana tribe of the starved martyr civilization that I was born in...... I am a world conscious perspective.... A Maclum-X drivitive...
..... Dont get me wrong.. I love my country.. but my White People as hopless, lost, and feable as they are today.. are still in the wrong... America is a place of _(EVENESS) And all people all even in it..!!! , and with equal rights.. all .........
THOUGHTS ON THE PRESEDENT..... WHAT IS EXCEPTABLE.. WHAT IS NOT...!!!
He is suppose to be the president for the whole of the country.. Not just a few....
All people in my country have the right to believe that the President of the nation represents all people.. Not just a select group of the few.. And My people have the right to believe that he is on thier side, not against them....
Thier not suppose to believe that because of thier ethnic background, thier president doesn't even like them....
Condoleezza Rice said it best... Paraphrased .." We need a President and someone in charge of this country for the REST OF US>... "....
However, The president of the United states is not responsible for my Happiness. He is not going to save me.. He is suppose to save the country.. Turning him into a savior cult figure will not work...
I have to look to within... It is an inside job... I cant think my way into a new way of living... I have to work my way into a new way of thinking...
I must start a journey.. I will have to become willing... Willing, Willing, Willing,. Willing.. Wlling...
I must let go of this world as it is.. and except a higher internal fountain..... a fountain of timeless energy... God.....
This starts with an idea.. And this idea is implanted by God when I prey to him for help to start the rest of my life.. The journey...
The water of life.... THE SLEEPER MUST AWAKEN....!!!
I have a dream.... Just like Martin Luther King.. I to have a Dream.....
For what Tupoc was murdered for, and Malcum X.. I to have a dream..... !!!
I will never except my white brothers until they learn to lay down thier evil pretense and greed..
-and begin loving thier neighbors .... and except that in this country of America, White is not right....White is not a skin color but a cult.. a cult of murderes that seporate and destroy everything they get thier hands on... Now not all of those with light brown skin like myself are White.. We just live around the white ..and through the white and below and above the white...
White is the sir name of the ADULT HILTER CONCEPTUAL.. The Third Reich .. The AFRICAN APARTIDE... For nothing has changed... This is a Country of Neutrality.... it belongs to know one.. it belongs to everyone.... It belongs to the children.. ...
Until they acknowledge that people who have brown skin, red skin, yellow skin...., are just as much Human beings and equal Americans.. and until they acknowledge they are the same and from the same background .. I will not associate with them as white... I will help heal them as a leader among them, but nothing more.....
I am appalled and shocked to see what they have done to thier fellow countryman.... and how they have treated all others as second class citizens.. And how they have lashed the inocent with thier ropes.. and lashed the oppressed with thier prisons, and lashed the hopless with thier Money Gods.... and how they imprisson the children of the mind, in thier steal emotianal cages... Leaving them in want and spiritual hunger, day after day, after day....
aS long as this onslaught of Apartheid continues, I denounce my position in the white race.... and I am now World Mann... A Universal explorer... A Solar Man... A Solar Man seeking God... A solar battery... I am OMNICELL
A DAY IN THE LIFE WITH OMNICELL:
NOTE.. ABOUT DEALING WITH PEOPLE IN THIS SOCIETY....
DEALING WITH WOMEN:
OMNICELL'S BACKGROUND AND LIFE:
I am a musician-composer/artist/ Writer-Poet/ public Speaker/Dancer/Possible actor-Mime , with more work.../ Story teller/Resurrected African Griot ...../Curious photographer.
My Hobbies are
Astronomy
Mountain biking
Skiing instructing.. Although, I used to do this.. Im looking forward to starting this again.. Although it as been years since I participated.. But this is changing as I change....
I started playing drums at age 5.. I had my first drum solo at age 6 in first grade.... and it all took off from thier.. Drum and bugle core in my early years... Then, playing to Beetles, Monkeys, Step'nwolf, Cream, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple.... The Doors.... Moadtha-Hoople....
In the 70's it was all Led Zeppelin And Rush....
Then came Drum learning... Steve Gadd, Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, Airto, Roy Burns and drumset artistry, Advanced Techniques for the modern drummer... and the Basic and expanded rudiments... ... and my first real drumset at age 18... an all maple Rogers kit.. Red stain.... 15 piece double bass.. Great set, but as those who have ever toured learn fairly quicky.. Never take a set like this into the public..Keep it in the studio... It get beat-up fast.. Better to have simple birch set with a strong plastic rap of some-kind around the outer shell. or Polyurethane or fiberglass kit.. Something that can be thrown around and have beer spilled on it, and have things thrown at it....
Then at age 14 I began to experiment naturally out of curiosity on the Piano.. I wanted to be like Paul McCarteny of the Beetles when I grew up... Thus came the interest in Jazz and Classical music... and moved into a study of western tonality... back to the 950 to the present 2008.. Many incredible genius thinkers in this field.. To many to mention.. But I will mention a common denominator of all of them... JS Bach... and the study of counterpoint in "Gradus ad Parnassum" by Johann Joseph Fux.
Fux kept the idea of counterpoint alive through the 17th century.. To the point that important composers picked its interest up again, so that the classical age, could exist and move on to Beethoven and all of that....
Bach is the pinnacle of western tonality.. and his advanced tonality structure, "Common Practice peried theory "...... in my opinion is still the strongest single element of music ever created.. If one can master the closed, open concepts of counter-punctual 4 part writing.. Ones music will be 100 times stronger then those other music writers around them.. and the Universe will be just a little closer then before....
FINALE.. My other best Friend... My music Notation Program is my other Axe.. It is my other instrument.. My cyber instrument.... An extension of my musical 3D minds eye...
I love intricate complex four part writing.... Im not that good at it.. but I love doing it.... Its challenging, and fun, and Im proud to be apart of such a long tradition of discipline and dedication .. and hope that someday, Like Fux...., I will be good enough to actually understand fully what I am doing...
ON WITH THE SHOW>......
By the time I was 21 I was offered a Production contract to go big-time as a drummer in the Portland Oregon area.. I would be playing for big acts, like Elton John, Gladys Night and the Pips, or who ever else showed up in-town that didn't have a backup band with them.. I would be part of the Coliseum Backup band... On call....
I choked.. and never showed up....
My life was already falling apart.... mental illness, alcohol, The inability to manage my own personal life was taking its toll....
I was quit a smart lad, and spent many years at the University while I was going through all of this insanity and I some how was able to finish a bachelors degree in Humanities/Minor in Business, with several extra years of University exploration.... and I was suffering from dyslexia... I write backwards at times.. See upside-down words and phrases.. I write letters backwards, upside down, and in the wrong position and direction... as well as backward parts of sentences...
This is not an intellectual problem but a problem with my eyes... My eyes do not track... meaning that they will not move from one word to another.. they wonder off... This makes things very difficult.. Im a fast competent reader... Why.. My intelligence plays apart.. Ive trained my self to be ultra-quick with words... but Im secretly always fighting my eyes.... and my spelling has been permanently destroyed at the root level.. The is nothing that can be done about that... ... Thier just isn't.... I live with it...
OK.. Back to the Story:..........
However, My condition Got worse.. and I didn't want to live anymore...
Death was all I sought.. and the Grim Reaper more and more and more, was becoming my only Friend and Peace giver...
Finally the Suicide attempts started.. and the Long bouts of insanity with Clinical Depression, Phobias, PTSD, and Social anxiety challenges...
I couldn't work anymore.... I was put on disability with the idea, that I would be a mental Cripple the rest of my life.. Rarely leaving my apartment and probably my only social outlet would be 12 step groups and thier tribe of people.... In fact, I could hardly keep myself alive..
I gave up music at age 21, and never to return... I was frustrated with it, and couldn't seem to concentrate anymore, or start anything or finish anything I started.....
25 years later......
I was in the Nut House for Agoraphobia... I had been in thier for two weeks with all of my wonderful " LA LA " Friends....
When I got out... I had nothing to do.. But just sit in my apartment day after day after day.. I was still going back to my 12 step groups.. But other then that had nothing.. And I MEAN NOTHING TO DO... I had learned to Mountain Bike but the Agoraphobia was so strong that I gave up outside activities....
THier sat my Roland S 88 Fantom Piano.... It was bought for me some three years before.... by my Mother .. A present from her and God..... Be Grateful Beeeeeeeee Grateful...
It didn't work of-course.... I never played the piano again....
But one day God finally broke me.... I was so board, that I asked God for direction. Any flipp'n direction. I didn't care if i had to bang to sticks together.. anything would be better then just being forced to do nothing... , how things can change with a little motivation....
and with that....
My soul looked around for something to do in that room... and ...
Thier was the Piano.. I had no interest in it, and could not hardly play it.. It had been 25 years....
So, with a little courage, I went to it , sat down, and with no pretension or thought, just told myself I would start plucking notes, and see what happens. Not for the purpose of purpose.. But, just for something to do to pass the time... Believe me a very subdued Humble beginning.......
And so it started.. It took a year for my fingers to come back...... and the rest is history... I started writing my first real song that was completed start to finish.. What a triumphant feeling that was...
Then one day, I told myself and others that my goal and fantasy was to get on one of those websites were one has thier own music page that is shared with other musicians online...!!! "An online music community.. "
and so, here I am......
After spending almost 10 years in the 12 step groups of recovery, I ventured out back into the real world....
I was preying to God for help , I knew that somehow I needed to play drums again.... But how.. I had little money and no understanding on how to manage my social life in the outside world...
THE CHURCH....
Many 12 step people were going to this 4 square church... So one day I ventured 4th and thought I would try it.. It was tough... I didn't like church at first....
The Pasture of the church was quit a different sort of Pastor... he listened and cared about others dreams.. and one day after hearing me play the Piano in the main hall.. asked me if I would bring my keyboard in and play a song for the church on Sunday.. I did.. That song was NINA'S SONG... this song is on Icomps....
From Thier I joined the church band.... Playing second Piano and singing.. I was doing so well singing , that the church bought me Singing lessons for a good long while...
But I had other Goals.... With a little help from God an old drumset showed up to the church from a patron that was either going to throw it away or sell it as junk....
I was doing some labor work for him for some extra cash, and suggested that he bring it to the church for the kids to play on sundays...
Well, several weeks had passed, and I found myself playing them more then the kids.. Several, months passed.. and I was now the official church drummer....
From thier I got on zzounds.com, and with a little help from God, and some creative financing, I was able to procure a beautiful Gretch all maple Drumset...
and the rest is history...
Im now the official church composer for the group.....
These days Im a drummer and composer and performer at a church... Drum Rent is free.. I can use the place as a studio anytime I want.. Drag My computer gear in and record my Singer/SongWriter stuff, ... When I get ready..?... at my hearts content.. But it goes further then that...
More importantly...
I help others discover thier ability to participate.....
I write poems that are performed to music... Christian or Liturgical Spoken word...
Im Now, helping others recite thier own poems to my music or theirs...
In some cases, Im helping them write thier own music, teaching them to play the piano, then someone new will come up and recite the poem while they are on the piano and Im on the drums... Its all growing.... More and more people are getting involved.... SO thier may be several people involved in a musical project..... I make it so its easy to participate on an instrument...
And when writing for church, it can only be up to 5 minutes long.. Musical material can be complex and classical.. if chosen, However, all Poems need to be of simple vocabulary and easy to understand and read... And usually with a simple chorus repeating itself over and over... For example:
CHorus... I LOVE YOU GOD FOR SO MANY WAYS...
Verse 1. because you stand be every day..
CHorus.. I LOVE YOU GOD FOR SO MANY WAYS....
Verse 2. and I will worship you for ever...
Bla Bla Bla....
You get the point... A very interesting situation.... Things have to be simple as ones church audience is not always that well educated, or understanding of things.. ITs a great test of working and composing in the real world....
The nice think about poetry reading and classical music, is that its excepted by all ages... ROCK IS NOT>.... Im not allowed by the Pastor to create Rock songs for service.. ALthough Im good at it....
Because Of my participation and interest in the church. I get a studio, and even get to rob the Kitchen and eat at times....
Not a bad deal for a guy like me who is just coming back into the world and trying to learn to get on his feet again...
AT the present...
Im in the Gym everyday..
I practice my Singer/Songwriter material at the church everyday...
I practice Drums at the church everyday..
I work on lyric writing several times a week.. This is challenging....
Im learning to work again.. I work 2 or three times a week. 4 hours at a time.. My goal is to do this, and look for work for one year... to learn to be "....OUT THERE AGIAN IN THE REAL WORLD>.. ".. I can really use the money.. as an SSI check doesn't go that fare...
Ive learned from Homelessness, to save that money no matter what, and sacrifice for what I want, and what God ordains is right for me.. and it works..
The Universe is definitely bending towards my direction and thoughts, and creating things out of thin air, that I could have only dreamed of several years ago...
Im still in recovery.. but not as much.. Im in an interim position .... Slowly learning how to be a human being again around other human-beings in society...
America is a horribly brutal place, Psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually.. So it not easy... Theirs a reason us Americans kill everything insight In every war we participate in.. and why we are the toughest people on earth...
Unfortunately the homeland at times is no different then the wars we participate in..... and more innocent people die in our country from giving up from sadness , then all the severed heads of the people we butcher under the knife on enemy soil......
ITs to bad.. It is really to bad..... So very sad.. So very very sad to see all of this happing to my Countryman... I prey everyday for relief for my people.. Everyday that they will find a God to believe in so that they may be children again inside.. Inside the deepest part of thier souls.. And not gladiators of world conquest and survival.. Where for every winner, thier are ten slain....
I prey for the children, that they wont get eaten alive by this brutalic money system, that turns Humans into machines for the better part of the state to use as cannon faughter... I just prey for my people that they will wake up.... Wake up.. Wake up..... and have peace....
My Goal at this point is two areas..
Live Music....
Fabor Draw Jowlyn.... This is the new age/ world/ jazz/ classical group...
OMNI and the Renegades.. . This is the Singer/Songwriter Rock Group...
Da Baron's In da Houz'n.. This is my Hip-Hop / Rap group....
Im writing Songs rite now for singing.... I will be posting the first one in several months... I have several, put they need more work, and lyric writing.. Im excited to start my Singer/Songwriter segment of my musical experience....
Thanks for reading....
