Guitarist, Composer, Songsmith, recording artist. Currently running High Octane Rockabilly Trio, a roots RocknRoll, Rockabilly, Swing outfit charged with Jazz
The Jim Nazzstix concept is newish, the idea of the music has been taking it's natural course, as music has always done automatically through time. It's the idea of fusing styles of music into one, the rest just comes from the heart to the fingers generated by the influences of your musical schooling and exposure. I try to mix Swing/R&B/Rockabilly/Bebop/Country plus what ever else is spontaneous and that's where the Jim Nazzstix thing comes in as Fretboard/String & Finger Jimnazzstix (so to speak) add to the equation.

Story behind the song
Originally, l wrote this song for a steel string Acoustic guitar and solo vocal but it morphed into what it is now, not saying that it will evolve even further, it may subtract again.
Lyrics
Seems like time is just drifting by Like white clouds on a windy sky Like tall ships in a raging sea Broken down but still running free Struggling on Hands are weary muscles torn Still getting up at the crack of dawn I saw my father do the same He saw his and so it remains Struggling on Oh l still remember those golden days Those sun drenched beaches and those crashing waves Waves of resistance against the grain But l've still got desires l'll be back again Struggling on Solo l think it's time now to take a break From this godforsaken book of hate But l know now from these broken dreams We're all caught up in this grinding machine Struggling on
