Why or how did you choose your band name, "LISTEN To The SUN"?

The sun, just like a dog whistle, is producing sounds that humans cannot, generally, hear. We, as humans, have inherent potential to raise our consciousness, awareness and perception by using the available techniques, consistent from ancient times, to activate more of the unused 85% of our bio computer/brain to improve and enhance our individual existences, including improved hearing. For those of us who choose to pursue our maximum potential, on all levels, while trying to improve our hearing capacity to be able to hear a dog whistle and the sound that the sun is producing, we will learn to hear many other sounds happening all around us that we hadn't previously been aware of. We have the opportunity to try to listen to the Sun.

Do you play live? Where? Do you like it? Any special moments?

I AM reviving my music career after some years of inactivity, live performance wise. My most recent gig was in Düsseldorf, Germany on June 28, 2003. My main priorities at this point in time is to acquire the funding and find the right manager and booking agent for a US and international tour. When the circumstances and conditions are favorable, I love playing live. [For my main "special moments" see "Band History:" below.]

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Most importantly, the Internet is making it possible for independent musicians to successfully promote and distribute our music without being dependent on the corporate music industry hierarchy. As long as I maintain all ownership of my music, and a few other conditions.

Would you still sign a record contract with a major label?

As long as I maintain all ownership of my music, and a few other conditions.

What’s your musical history?

My musical roots trace from the'40s and '50s Southern Black Baptist Gospel in the local church and “The Grand Ole Opry” on grandparents' home radio, to high school choir and band. Also, high school “do-wop” group with Jimmy Hayes (original and current singer with THE PERSUASIONS) - the highlight of which was a booking on a show with the original IKE and TINA TURNER band touring the “Chitlin' circuit” in their bus. And, on to music school after the Navy, followed by three years as a private high school music teacher, director of a local Boston, Massachusetts production of the Rock Opera, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. Played the college and club circuit from New York to Maine for 3 years with the Bill Colwell Band, during which time the band backed up JOHN LEE HOOKER on his Boston area gigs in the early '70s, and shared a dressing room area with MILES DAVIS for one week.

As I said, I’m reviving my musical career, currently ‘wood shedin’, preparing and planning to gig and tour. For the last past 20 years my priority had been as a father to my - now deceased as a Homo sapien - 20 years and 3 months daughter/Indigo Child and Evolution Angel, Tanisha Rasanna Dyushambee; And, studying, learning and experiencing how “this that and the other” is related to “the other, that and this,” in preparation for “The Landing” and transition to the next millennium, paradigm, level and dimension.
