RAPSTER INTERVIEW.. part 1..: from songramp last year.. _______________________ This week's Artist Spotlight is on "Rapster" - Joe Nickerson! Please take a moment to read his interview and check out his music! 1. HOW DID YOU FIND SONGRAMP AND WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT THIS SITE? Boneman... known here on the ramp as Fdotbone, told me that as a professional musician and teacher of 30+ years experience, I was wasting my time and my powerful new PC on playing video games - it's all your fault mike... you unleashed me on these fine respectable folks! I bet even you didn't realize then, what a radical I am......

For those of you who might be listening... starting Friday, 07-13-07, from 6:00pm - 8:00pm, I will be broadcasting a "live" session of my Blues Show: "Blues You Can Use", heard exclusively on The Detour, www.thedetour.us. During this time I will also be taking requests. You may call me at (423) 546-0360 with your requests or you may send me an "Instant Message" by logging onto: www.thedetour.us/message, anytime during the show. Thanks For Tuning In! John...

Tres Hombres: My fellow "Tramps" and I got together last week to work on some songs and talk about a possible side project. I'm encouraged and hopeful that it will work out. We have an advantage in that we already gig together so we can try out songs live as we learn them...makes sense...but there will be some songs that we might not be able to play at Tramps gig...might be too heavy ; )
