God Bless ALL those who serve in the armed services of The USA. Teach your children about Memorial Day and Veterans Day and let us pay our thanks and respect to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can live the way we do. I love life and I love living thanks to all those who have served and sacrificed. Endless thanks to Galen Breen of The Gator Hole. I write the songs, music, lyrics and melody but he makes the songs I write sound so amazing I can't thank him enough. Also, Annie Lynn who is an amazing artist too. I love bluegrass and Doc Watson and I LOVE the acoustic guitar. I dig people who aint got the attitude. Life is too short and too beautiful for egotistical, arrogant fat heads. I respect those who have earned it, not those who expect it. I dont like people who cry about what they think they should have instead of being grateful for what they do have. Treat people fairly with respect and dignity. Good Health & Good Music! Your friend, Jim

Bio

I love playing a Martin acoustic guitar!! I love life and I love living I am sick with an illness that causes 24 hrs a day chronic pain and is getting worse with no cure in sight. I feel like I have been poisoned and being eaten alive from the inside out from razored teeth pihanna. Its a horrible illness. There is no cure for RSD. Despite the pain I am a very happy and lucky man. I could do without the liars I have met in the music biz tho- I live in So Calif with my wife of almost 33yrs. I love the acoustic guitar too much. I try not to take much for granted. I wish I could find someone to do my songs. That would be nice. I cant stand people who bitch and moan about what they think they should have instead of being grateful for what they do have. Life is too short folks. Good Health & Good Music. Jim

Hi James B,,
I recently heard your track on BroadJam and I really enjoyed the vibe! you have got a unique sound that deserves more attention.
I work with artists and creators to help them grow their visibility online, especially through digital platform and SEO strategies that position their music to reach the right listeners, not just more people, but the right people.
I know how frustrating it can be to put so much effort into creating music and still feel like it's not reaching enough ears. Sometimes it is not about talent, it's about positioning.

If you are open to it, I do love to share a few simple ideas that could help increase your exposure and bring more listeners to your music organically. You can reach out at>> PPMdigitals@outlook.com
No pressure at all, just looking to connect and support good talent when I see it.

Wishing you continued success with your music
Sincerely,
Patrick

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to give my music a listen. I have songs that are perfect for an artist(s) tv netflix commercials, whatever. The first two songs in the list have had a lot of attention, fan wise, but I can't find anyone who has the brains to take those to Netflix and any other tv and movie people and make a lot of money. I am disabled and getting worse. I am ill. I have had so many scammers come at me and that won't work with me. I spent many years in asset protection, loss prevention, policy and procedure, law-enforcement and risking my life on some crazy undercover jobs I now fully appreciate who only the young are suited for what I did. Only takes one real person who really know what they are doing to see the potential in 3/4 of my songs especially the first two in the list. Good Luck. I know I won't hear from you. thank you for reaching out but I won't fall for scams and I hate lazy people. I have xlnt songs. Already Over You was written for Dixie Chicks and a guy who worked for them thought it was a song that would be a hit and be on any Best of albums but the that big mouth Natalie Maynes shot her mouth off about the POTUS and her father said thans but no thanks. FUCK! That song is still perfct them.

Hi James,
I respect that. After the careers you've had, I'd expect nothing less than caution.
And you're right!, there are a lot of people online who talk big and deliver nothing.

Let me clarify something important though, because this is where most artists get misled:
You don't "take a song to Netflix."
Netflix doesn't accept direct submissions from artists.
Placements happen through:
1- Music supervisors
2- Production companies
3- Sync agencies
4- Libraries with existing licensing relationships
5- Properly cleared, one-stop metadata-ready catalogs
If a song isn't structured correctly for that ecosystem, it never even gets heard, no matter how good it is.
That's usually the missing piece.
When you say your first two songs have traction, that's interesting!. Attention coupled with the right licensing infrastructure is where things get real.
I don't work on hype or promises. I work on structure:
>Catalog positioning
>On stop clearance readiness
>Metadata & supervisor formatting
>Pitch pathway mapping
If there's real potential, I'll tell you.
If there isn't, I'll tell you that too.

No pressure. No games.
If you're open minded to a professional evaluation of those first two tracks, we can take it step by step and keep it transparent.
You've already done the creative work.
The question is whether the business side is built correctly. Feel free to connect directly on patrickumeshsocial@gmail.com for more Info

Hi, I did one collaboration with Annie who did the vocals on Blueridge Mountain Skies. all she did was add her vocals to the song then she turned around and tried selling the song behind my back. I just added a song I know is going to make me and anyone who joins me good money. It has a great catchy hook/title. It's called Weak Scared Insecure He's a Lying Hypocrite.
