About Me |
|
| Have you ever found a piece of clothing in a thrift shop that's just absolutely hideous? After you put it down, I walked in and bought it. It is now part of my favorite outfit. Despite the colorful garb, I'm a nerd. MAYBE I SHOULD"VE KEPT THE DAY JOB? 26 years in the music business and still not jaded OR evil. DON'T ASK HOW BECAUSE I DON"T KNOW. I have managed to cover alot of of ground during those years. Starting as an engineer, then mixer...remixer...producer...songwriter...composer. I am not rich and famous, but happily notorious. After all this time, I still love my work. I can't imagine doing anything else. I feel exceptionally fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with such a vast and diverse array of incredibly talented people. They keep rollin' in. I have rearranged this page to give a "shout-out" to some of the people that I have been working with through the years. There are so many, I'm not even going to attempt to list and link them. I plan on rotating, so if you don't find yourself there right now, please don't take it personally. For a complete and (nearly) current discography, go to: John X Discography DON'T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME! In other unrelated stories: Recently, I took up flying trapeze classes and i LOVE it! I'm only a couple of months into it, so I am still just an awkward beginner. I have advanced from looking like a clown falling out of a helicopter to looking like a clown on a trapeze. I consider that to be progress. If anyone has a real interest in joining me, I am always recruiting.DISARM AND CONQUERI also love going to the firing range and doing "artwork" with the sniper rifle. Target shooting is about precision, not violence. Any of you who know me will also know that I am non-violent. Somewhat antagonistic and obnoxious, but definitely non-violent. I've also taken up archery but not nearly with the same passion as trapeze and target shooting. . I have jumped out of an airplane, eaten alligator, AND, best of all, skinny-dipped in the Atlantic Ocean while watching a rocket launch at the Kennedy Space Center at 1:30 am. ALL of these within a 24 hour period.I've hitch-hiked my way across the USA 3 times. I have not plucked my eyebrows along the way, but I HAVE been a "she". I've done karaoke in almost every city I've ever visited..I can keep a secret and love to play pranks on people...I've been known to wear a watch on my ankle, though I can't read it at all...Sometimes I seem like a ballbuster, but the truth is that I REALLY care about people I love. I COME FROM A LONG LINE OF BLACK SHEEP If you ever meet anyone from my family, you can guess that they will be total characters. I consider myself to be the quiet one. I have 4 older sisters who are my heroes. My mom is one of the only people I know who actually is supporting herself as an artist. My daughter Jessica is living proof that if you want to meet a great woman, you have to make one yourself. Thanks for turning me into a Grandpa, darling! I can't even begin to tell you how awesome she is, so you'll just have to just take my word for it.YOU KEEP TALKING LIKE THAT AND WE'RE ALL GETTING LUCKY There is Greek mythology tattooed on my right arm...I'm a second-generation, purebred, Greek, triple Scorpedo.. Although I tend to be a somewhat strict vagitarian, I might just eat ANYONE who laughs at my jokes. •••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••• ••••• MYFLYPROFILE.NET | |
