Conan the Jazzarian
The band R me. All compositions by Conan the Jazzarian except as noted.
Hey, I'm just a high speed jazz guitar hack. Somehow I got suckered into this composition and production nonsense :) Someone shoot me, I started singing too, on the rock songs.
Now that I've started singing, I suspect more than 6 people will notice me.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Well I'd like to make some history, as opposed to being history.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not if I can help it. That's why I went to college instead of music school.

Sorry to tell you folks, internet banter is no substitute for real news. Nor is the Fox network a reliable source of real news.
