Vertizon

My name is Jim Durkin, I had cancer when I was 13 years old. My first night home after having my stomach cut open to see how far the cancer had spread I was lying in bed and a song popped into my head. Words and music complete. I knew nothing about music at the time so I just wrote down the words and figured I would remember the melody. I layed back down and thought "That was weird!" Ten minutes later another song popped into my head, a very different and dark song. I thought "That was wierd!...

I knew nothing about music at the time so I just wrote down the words and figured I would remember the melody. I layed back down and thought "That was weird!" Ten minutes later another song popped into my head, a very different and dark song. I thought "That was wierd!" This kept happening. A couple of years later I bought myself a guitar from a grocery store and taught myself. A couple years after that I bought a synth and taught myself the keyboard. I have been writing ever since then. I was at Starbucks last summer and some kid asked me to teach him something on his guitar. So I did. He asked to hear one of my songs. So I showed him. Someone heard me and offered me a job performing at a coffee shop. A week before my first show someone stole my guitar with every song I ever wrote in the case. I performed in public last summer for the first time ever.(I am now 46) I've done more then 50 shows in the last year. I hope you enjoy the music. I will be putting new stuff up as I get it recorded. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!
