[home/music] I’ve decided to give away all of my music for free until the end of July. Why would I do that, you might ask? I’m hoping that by sharing my songs for free, more people will be inclined to download and listen to them, and even tell their friends. So if you’ve never given my music a chance, maybe this would be a good time to try a few songs? If you like instrumental music, I recommend trying Moving On Again: Instrumental Improvisations, and if you like piano ballads, start with 12 Girlfriends or Sunny Days. Don’t Stop There - while you’re at it, download Ghost Town, Seek, ChristmaSongs, If We Can, and Bottled Inside! Spread the word! Jason
Free for the Rest of July

[home/music/song_bios] I think this song will be called “James,” after my great grandfather James Abrams. He died when my grandfather Abrams was 2 years old. Shortly thereafter my grandfather’s mom died as well. So consequently I don’t know anything at all about these people— at least, very little. When I stare at their photos, I can’t help feeling an eerie connection; I have his eyes, he looks a bit like my cousin. I love you great grandfather, whoever you were.

Wrote a New Song - James
James
Your face stares like I know secrets long forgotten
But I do not; Only photos remain
We forgot And there’s none left to blame
Your sorrow frozen in time, Hardly history,
Yet your eyes seem to cry, “Don’t you remember me?”
We cannot. Only photos remain
What a loss What misfortunate shame
Chorus:
I strain to hear your call on the wind.
To read your thoughts, to picture your life back then
You wear my face, do you dream my dreams
I stand in your place, I don’t know what it means;
No one remembers.
All that you never see; Sightless eyes now
Staring empty at me, locked in a frame now.
If I asked for advice What would you tell me?
A couple words would suffice, what can you foresee?
We forgot and there’s none left to blame
What a loss. What misfortunate shame!
It’s all gone, only photos remain…

[home/music] Too much depressing introspection, too often a sense that I’m letting life slip by without doing something with my gifts. I’m grasping for that point in life when I can say I that what I created was really important- that I expressed some intangible aspect perfectly. Look at me, wondering, aching, seeking. Anybody out there relate? ~Jason

[home/ServiceBuilder] It’s been a number of years since ServiceBuilder has seen any action, but now I’d like to announce that the live version is available to use for free, to anyone who can use it. Technically, it’s still in ‘beta,’ which means that nothing is guaranteed— you might have trouble depending on your browser, your operating system, and God-forbid, you may even lose your data. But it’s been live for about a month, and the testers so far have not had any serious problems, so if you’re interested, head on over. Thanks!

[home/music] I’ve finally got around to changing the site— it’s been a while since it was Christmas, but I was proudly displaying my Christmas CD to all my visitors. I fell in love with the Clockwork Quartet, both their music and their web site… go check it out. This new look is nowhere as cool, but it is influenced by them somewhat. I love the steam punk style— I wish I could carry that off! Thanks for being a faithful reader of this blog!
New Look
