Jim W's Demos
There is no band. I write the songs and I play them. Sometimes they're good enough to record, sometimes they're not. Once in a while, there's even one or two worth sharing. Those are the one's you'll see here.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
There is no band. It's only me. I've been playing guitar for about 20 years now, writing songs and having fun with it. I also play bass, a bit of keyboards and program the drum machine.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Only a few times. And it was years ago. I'm not against it, just no plans at this point.

I'm amazed that people are willing to take the time to check out what I do with a guitar, a drum machine, and a computer. Thank you to everyone who reads this.
