Artist History When I was very young my father would take me and my brother John to McDonalds in his faded light blue eight track Pinto. And I would always say "play Led Zeplin, play Led Zeplin.And he would. My dad was a real rocker. Every week he would set up the tape recorder to tape his favorite radio rock hour show on Stereo X. he bought me many albums such as the Beatles, Led Zeplin, Bloodrock, and the James Gang. In grade school my friend Jerry and I had to take band class but wanting to play the drums, we were both kicked out the first day for banging on the music sheet stands. Getting into trouble every where I went, I never took another music lesson again. When I was eighteen years old, I left home and joined the Navy. This being the most reckless mistake of my life, and yet some how it brought me to my first guitar. On a sunny day in Seattle, I went on shore leave. As I was walking down town along the store shop windows.An old man turned to me and said, hey I know you. I said no you don’t what are you insane? He said yes I do know you. Then he turned and pointed to a guitar in one of the glass windows.He looked at me and said, that’s you in the window. I said are you nuts, that’s not me, I’m in the Navy I can’t start playing the guitar now. He told me to buy the guitar and get out of the Navy. Now how in the hell am I supposed to do that? I asked. Tell them that you are on a mission from God. What! They’ll think I’m crazy. That’s the idea he said. Who’s idea yours or Gods? He just smiled. So I asked him, do you own a strait jacket or just rent one? He pointed to the window once more and then walked away.For months I was troubled by what he had said. I began to dwell on the idea. And having the ship in dry dock six months, doing nothing but chipping the old paint off the bulk heads and breathing in the toxic fumes of the so called safety tested paint the Navy had us use, I really did begin to go kind of nuts. I had to get off the ship. So I did exactly what the old man said. I bought the guitar and told the Navy that I was on a mission from God, and that they had better let me go. And would you believe they did. And with an honorable discharge. Under medical conditions of course. As years went by I played that guitar every chance I could. I joined my first band at twenty one. We called our selves "Cozway" and man did we suck. This is where I met Mike Adkins.He was about the only person in the band that could play an instrument.But we struggle onward. Mike sort of became a music mentor to me and has helped me throughout the years. I played in many bands as the years went by. Mostly garage bands that never really went any where. And then I met Jason Carrion and formed a band called Boneshelf. Weplayed the local circuit for a few years. Had our fun, got into plenty of trouble. Then the band started to fall apart. And with the sad loss of our bass player "Ray Dalton" we finally brokeup. I continued to work with Jason, and with a little help from my friends and a lot of love from my family, I finished my first works of published music.I would like to thank all the people that have helped through the years. And most recently the people at C.T.I. , Lisa for being so kind. and last, God, for keeping me on the right path. James Michael Coray.
