Out of the Box

Our humble beginnings, the precursor to Jmuse Entertainment.

Picture left: 1978: It’s really who you know. This picture was taken at my wedding, when I got up to sing with the Floyd County Boys. See young Todd Grant in the background?

Picture right: Dylan Douglas, 1997
The first drummer for
Jmuse, who knew....?

Band beginnings and endings (sigh!)

Picture left: In the beginning…… 1982 with The Mission Canyon Band at Anisq’ Oro park I.V...(my Janis Joplin phase)


Picture right: Ahh so young,
but never innocent!
1983-1985 Wet Paint.

My metamorphosis


Picture left: The Zooks; Halloween Earl Warren Show Grounds, 1985. That’s my brother Aaron and me. Can’t you see the resemblance?

Jena and The Uninvited, 1986 the band that
never played out but did some
great recordings.

The studio
