You may know that I was in the Ragas with Henry McGuinn, the son of
Roger out in California. We have some music out there in cyberspace.
It was real fun doing jangly Rickenbacker tunes with him.
But anyway, I've been in Bulgaria, of all places, teaching English to
little punks. :) Well, let's say it's challenging. And they haven't
been turned onto the Byrds or other groovy stuff.
I've written 20 plus songs in Bulgaria about the times here. Much is
Psychedelic, folk-rock, and/or country rock.
I just want to let the group know that I uploaded 3 albums of mine so
that people can download for free at Jamendo. Have you heard of
Jamendo?

Maybe I can talk Henry that we post the Ragas stuff here too. You can
find us at: www.myspace.com/theragas
The titles of my Albums are:
2008 "Busted In Bulgaria"
2005 "The Notorious G.I.D.D."
2002 "California Daze"
The 2002 album is about the time I was living in California and
pursuing music in the same scene that the Brian
Jonestown Massacre, Beachwood Sparks, the Tyde, and the Quarter After
were in. These are neo-psychelic groups. I even co-wrote a song with
Dominic Campanella from the Quarter After called Beach.
Many of the tunes are pretty raw. The new songs are really in a diary
type form.
Just wanted to let you guys know. The Byrds are the Best!!!
All the Best,
Jim
