Hello Friends,
This past December 8th marked the 28th anniversary of untimely passing of the extraordinary yet altogether ordinary poet, musician, philosopher, activist, hero, villain, beatle, human being...John Lennon. John was many things. Regardless of whether those were right or wrong, good or bad, he was EXACTLY what he said he was. Simply a dude with a very thin protective coating, blessed with the spirit of wonder and a penchant for articulating his life experience in a way that anyone could understand. This is not to discount his genius (as it is indisputable), but moreso to point out that greatness walks amongst us. In fact, greatness lives within each and every one of us. It is finding the courage to broadcast that which we possess that prevents us from believing in our own potential. ...and the world from appreciating it! John was beautiful and so are all of you my dear friends. Beautiful just as you are. Bursting with potential.
So...
I played hookie for a good portion of that day to listen to some of John's music, read up on old interviews and play some of the tunes that inspired me to begin my musical journey. I wanted to share a few of those with you. Now even though they display no greatness in any way, they sure do beat the heck out of working :) I hope that you enjoy...or at least don't throw tomatoes at your monitor...
"Time that you enjoyed wasting was not wasted."
-John Lennon
Thanks for stopping by friends. I hope that this finds you all well.

I remember the day John Lennon died. I was just in grade school. After his death, I started to play guitar. All Beatles tunes. Hard to believe Lennon's been gone for so many years, yet he's still so alive in so many hearts around the world. Great tribute, Tomas! Happy Holidays!
Love it, Yo!
you guys are great! thanks for shouting out...you've made my day :)

Very nice Tomas! Video is a good thing, helps bridge that gap of uncertainty between shooter & client. Works for me!
Tomas,
Was browsing the web and came across your name twice today...once here then On facebook...since i do not believe in coincidences I know i must leave you a message...Love LOVE john Lennon and his message of love, peace and spiritual enlightenment.
Your a talented guitarist and even though you claim to need a voice coach, I felt you handled the songs rather well!
