I am Jimmy See. I have played guitar, and sang most of my life, never seriously, except a few church gigs. I love all kinds of music, literally. I played with several friends.
I was married for many years, raising children, and let my music go in honor of that, I feel a very worthwhile trade! Now, I am on my own, the kids are all grown, or close enough, and I have lost my flippin mind! I lived in a dark depression for many years, seldom out of bed, due to a chronic pain illness. I have a lyric that says, "I had to loose the mind I had, before it drove me crazy." I have written some 45 or so songs over the last two years, and together they chronicle a slow return from the darkest depression, to the light of living again.
Most unfortunate is, I have been only able to render recordings of the later few songs in this series.
UPDATE 2012: I am playing more live now, and writing like a madman, laughing more than ever, and feeling better all the time. I will be posting newer songs right away, and hopefully some of the newest will be recorded soon.
Remember, LAUGH OUT LOUD!!! o(^_^)oHave you performed in front of an audience?I do play live every chance. At Local Bluegrass Assoc meetings and jams, and a few local bars. I do a solo act so far, but have been discussing a partner to be an acoustic duo, because I love to play slide and lead in acoustic music. I am thinking about an acoustic duo, because we can play out readily, and then evolve into something more as we work together.
