Hello ... I'm John Havel.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my site. I'm not a professional
musician, but often turn
to music to express my thoughts. I'm sure I get more out of my songs
than the listener - but
it's an enjoyable hobby. My mind is full of melodies and lyrics that I
like
putting together. Being
a "one man band", all instruments are composed and played by myself.
I don't have a drum set yet, so the drums are performed utilizing Drums On Demand.
I write the lyrics and try
singing them. I'm also the sound engineer, producer, and roadie.
Music has always been my
passion - when other kids wanted to be doctors or lawyers,
I wanted to be a disc jockey.
After the Beatles hit the scene I was totally hooked and learned
how to play the guitar.
Here I am in my first band back in 1965:

Since those days I've never
gone away from playing music - but it's been on the back
burner for awhile. Mostly,
I just like writing songs. In the future I hope to assemble a
band and get more input
(and talent) to improve the quality of the music. Until then,
I'll continue to throw some
demo tunes on this site ... stay tuned.
