======Sunny James and Guitar======
Sunny James and Guitar(c) - 1994-2006 - active -> [[ppc>User:Sunny:Music]]

As an amateur guitarist I have been playing and recording my own music for several years.  Most of my early recordings are pretty bad (background noise).  I self released for friends and family a single album in 2001 titled Subsequent Lucidity and the Secant Instant (a bit obtuse).  I don't play what I do not compose myself.  This means that I am rethinking music from my own basis, but this rethinking is the how and the why that I enjoy music.  Expect new music to show up here regularly.  For some of my close friends listening to some of this might be a lot like hanging out in my dorm room or apartment while I solved the world with my guitar.  It has been described by at least a couple of friends as music that makes you feel like your traveling, that things are changing.  I originally was calling myself 'Dead Philosopher' but this wore out and I now prefer a self-title.

======What I'm Listening To======

I've been playing around the [[http://pandora.com|Pandora's]] Music Genome Project powered music radio.  It seems to really select music that is similar to what I like and has made some good suggestions based on my listening preferences.  The listings below, unfortunately are not the 'current' listening list, but that is only a click away.  Just click on one of the stations.
