Artist History About 6 months ago I was laying on the couch trying to get some rest the B-Man (Brian), walks in asks me to come outside and help unload some audio equipment from the truck and at that point i met Jody J. Fadley. B-Man introduces Jody to Walt, my brother. Walt takes a deciding interest about Jody being a music guy and begins to show him what he can do on the PC, B-Man says, yeah dude, He knows a lot about the computer. Walt had just loaded a music producing software package and was messing around making different 'MIXES' of digital samples. Jody asked, "Can you make that thing play drums"? Walt replies, "Sure.. I can make it play anything just about, polyphonic too" Jody plays some music for us on his guitar and sings some great songs. He talks about how he is trying to get a band together that will stay with him and record his songs so he could get them on CD and out to the unsuspecting world! Jody was on the phone and talking with the bass player for the now known STANDING EIGHT, we need to get together soon and practice and see if we can get these songs tight! He agrees and they set a date, it was May if I recall correctly, and they had planed on a Saturday afternoon around 3:00 to try and get a practice in. They were late, we thought that they might not make it as the weather was starting to look bad, not good for transporting audio equipment around. They finally made it there around 4:00 PM and they set-up with a few problems of power. We were outside of Brian Aklands residence, in the now known, OUTBACK, it's a lean-to with tin walls and roof about 21 feet long by 12' deep, just enough room for the practice. They jammed five or six songs and sounded very good for guys that had not played together for a while. Jody knew these guys for a long time but never were they all in the same band. After the practice everything seemed cool and going as planned, and se we thought. They never played together again. They had cut ties and never even told Jody! So back to finding a group of guys to stick with Jody again. Three days later and the phone rings, low and behold it was Steve Christopher, one of Jody's very good friends who coincidentally happen to be one of the best drummers in Okeechobee, Florida. Steve said, "Let's play some rock n roll man!". Jody answers with, "Let's do it!". Come to find out Rodney Harper was also conversing with Steve and wanted to be a part of it all. Rodney had already been established as a good guitar and bass player. Things were looking up for these three guys. They planned a meeting at a local sports bar to talk things over a drink. They talked over what kinds of music they were going to play with each other. They all seemed to have much the same ideas for what they expected out of this venture. They had their first practice like they had been together always and was just a little out of pratice. It was very solid sounding to me, Walter Hargrave. I had asked the guys if I could run sound or something. We made a tape and was surprised to hear how good the songs came out.. This drove JSR to practice harder and that is what they did.. They were getting a much tighter sound and was impressing the crap out of friends all around them. They had three or four more practices and Jody says, "We need a venue to play at"! Then goes on to say, "Let's make a venue of our own, let's call it '12 Hours Of Rock' ". Later, two prominate figures in the local musical community named the concert "SUMMER JAM" and it went on to be a great show but that's another story. They had two more practices before the Summer Jam and played the show and everyone came up to tell them they had some great originals! The work we all done with the Summer Jam gave us a good idea of some of the business that surrounded the music industry and we decided on looking into getting a CD created. But how we thought, It costs a great deal of money to get the equipment to do it ourself. Out of reach we thought... I guess we will have to save money and have a studio to do it. Soon after thinking this we found out that a local businessman had a Roland VX-880EX which is a 8 Track Digital Workstation. He graciously allowed use of his, 'Home Studio' and equipment. It took us about two and a half weeks of work to get 5 songs done and then we mixed them down onto the computer as wav files and converted them to mp3 format. I uploaed these all to ClubKnowldge.com and made a page for fans to listen to the songs. Was ok but not doing very well getting them anywhere. Later I stummbled across MP3.COM and after reading and signing and filling out a bunch of forms. I knew that this was the best way for JSR to get started! MP3.COM the BOMB!
