I compose, arrange, play guitars, bass, keyboards, rap, sing.. I just do my thing.. I played in the well known SF bay area fusion band CLOUDS in the 70s.. and before the days of all this bling I spent 2 years in the late 70s with THE DAVID LA FLAMME BAND touring the states.. sex drugs rock and roll.. had it all.. EVERYTHING.. but I wouldn't trade for what I got now.. my own way.. my own music.. my own thing.. an award winning composer of chamber music with university honors and published and recorded compositions, I am a jazz musician.. I've played with, among others, woody shaw, jon hendricks, julian priester and mike nock.. I'm no longer a classic cover tune or mainstream jazz artist, rather a jazz musician who believes in world music as trane did.. seeking to blend many genres into a fresh and innovative style of jazz.. after many years on the axe I've finally done a 2nd CD showing my style..

Story behind the song
LARRY THE WOLFMAN.. TLT50.. gave me this track a few full moons back.. it made me crazy like wolfman jack.. owwhooooooooo!!!! thanks my wolfman brother.. :-) my song on larry's awesomely sinister and imposing music and heavy beatz was inspired by spike lee's great classic movie of the same title..

Great pulse/great lead guitar lines: very expressive with tasty either intonations or tone and absolutely genuine - this is Joe Nickerson!

The wherewolf eh ; )) Hey Joe - this is catchy AND unique! Especially liked that vocal 1-2-3 (in 1/8 notes sung) - really gave the song it's signature. Incredible arrangement - nothing less than expected from the Rapster ; )) Performance and production are better than A1 bro... This is Hot 100 material! Cheers, Bob
