Vinyl is still popular. The first release, on my own Sand and Palms label, was a 7" 45 RPM vinyl record, the format of early rock 'n' roll. It was pressed in three different colors.
Band/artist history
I'm a songwriter and musician in Pinellas Park, Florida, with over 180 copyrighted songs and instrumentals. I play lead, rhythm, and bass guitar, keyboard, harmonica, and percussion. Have performed professionally in musical groups in North Carolina and Florida. Two of my songs have a manufactured produced connected to it...Bald Head Diva Gourmet Steak Sauce. Some of today's artists and bands, such as Kim Lentz, Dragstrip 77, Josie Kreuzer. Hot Rod Lincoln, and others, record and release rockabilly, doo wop, and 1960s garage band, and beach songs. So do I.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes, I play live in a venue where they have the equipment and sound system to spin the karaoke background tracks of my songs. I enjoyed performing at Cool Moe's Place in St. Petersburg, Florida. http://www.geocities.com/sand_and_palms.rm/KaraokeAtCoolMoes.html
Your musical influences
The early rock n' rollers are my inspirations, rather they be individual vocalists, groups, or bands. Booker T. & The MGs, Junior Walker & The All Stars, The Ventures, The Fireballs, The Beach Boys, Eddie Cochran, Rick Nelson, Gene Vincent, Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, Extreme, Creedence Clearwater, John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band inspired my style
What equipment do you use?
I record with a 1996 Roland VS-880 Digital Studio Workstation and use the Cool Edit Pro 2 Software program.

Hey Mr Vestal, i think youre tops.it still feels alive. thanks. B
I have known and heard Jimmie Vestals music, and the type of music he loves as well as I do. We go back for many years for you see this man was my first love,and every time I hear this type of music I think of him and even after all these years we still keep in touch.Like the Seekers said ,"There will never be another you."
Really all it is healthy. I listen and enjoy. Though itself such I do not write. Call on!!! At me absolutely fresh tracks. Good luck!!!
Reviews of the song, Hawaiian Luau Very B-52's. Different as well. Lance Beach Boys revisited. I enjoy the drums and the "wipe out" feel. Party!!!!! James _______________________________________ Reviews of Jimmie's style: Old time rock with a twist of insanity! Just kidding. I let my three teenagers, Kelsey 17, Stephanie 15 & Clayton 13, along with a few of their friends listen to them too. They were all dancing in my kitchen! It was hilarious!! I think you've managed to bring back something that's been missing in music for the last twenty to thirty years ...... FUN! I felt like I was at a SOCK HOP when the kids were dancing!! Sue D. J. JIMMIE R. VESTAL is Good for what Ails you if Rockabilly is Your Thing and Rockabilly is Definitely One of Our Things. All Produced in his studio Somewhere in the Wilds of Florida. This just may be Subtitled Rockabilly for the Savvy Computer Set and comes equipped with that Vintage Computer Echo Chamber that Stan Freberg Made Fa
