RECORD 4 Life And LA Times by jvamusic published on 2017-09-08T00:32:38Z My name is Jim Walker. This is RECORD. Vol. 4. Life And LA Times This is the fourth in a story series that I'm recording about my life (so far) as a musician. This one is about the dead-end jobs I’ve had, how they influenced and shaped me into the person and musician I’ve become, and how I’m not very good at holding down jobs. — Music featured on this show: THE BLUE LIGHT From the JVA album - BACKGROUND APPLICATIONS VOL. ll Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA jvamusic1.bandcamp.com/album/backgro…ations-vol-ll AGO (Instrumental) Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA Unreleased EVERYTHING IN PLACE (Instrumental) Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA Unreleased KAPUTT (ALLES IST) (Instrumental) Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA Unreleased REAL From the JVA album - FOREGROUND APPLICATIONS VOL. ll Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA https://jvamusic1.bandcamp.com/album/foreground-applications-vol-ll JEOPARDY THEME Written by Merv Griffin DESTROY ME (Instrumental) Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA Unreleased JUST TALKING (Instrumental) Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA Unreleased HOUSE OF PAIN From the Van Halen album - 1984 Written by Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, Michael Anthony, David Lee Roth and performed by Van Halen HUMAN SEA From the JVA album - LET’S MAKE A PROBLEM Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA https://jvamusic1.bandcamp.com/album/lets-make-a-problem AND IN EVERY HOME From the Elvis Costello album - IMPERIAL BEDROOM Written by Elvis Costello and performed by Elvis Costello & the Attractions BOAT #2 Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA Unreleased THE QUIET ROOM From the JVA album - BACKGROUND APPLICATIONS VOL. l Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA https://jvamusic1.bandcamp.com/album/background-applications-vol-l FAT SODOMY RAPIST From the JVA album - FOREGROUND APPLICATIONS VOL. l Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA https://jvamusic1.bandcamp.com/album/foreground-applications-vol-l I’M A TRUCK From the Red Simpson album - I’M A TRUCK Written by Robert Stanton and performed by Red Simpson WITHOUT MY GAL From the JVA album - BACKGROUND APPLICATIONS VOL. l Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA https://jvamusic1.bandcamp.com/album/background-applications-vol-l FIREMAN Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA Unreleased SWEET WOODEN TASTE From the JVA album - BACKGROUND APPLICATIONS VOL. l Written and performed by Jim Walker/JVA https://jvamusic1.bandcamp.com/album/background-applications-vol-l GREAT BALLS OF FIRE Written by Otis Blackwell and Jack Hammer and performed by Jerry Lee Lewis WHO’LL STOP THE RAIN?

Also working with a friend on a feature film script. I hope you are terrific, Greg! Thanks for the note. :)! 2019-04-01T00:35:32Z Comment by Greg St Pierre @jvamusic-1: Checking in some months later. How's that script coming? 2019-02-18T17:15:06Z Comment by jvamusic @greg-st-pierre: Hey, Greg! First, thanks so much for checking out the show. I do a lot of writing; essays and memories of strange things that have happened to me. I've also been voice-over guy for about 30 years. So I just decided to marry the two. :) And weird you mentioned screenplays. I spent last spring writing a book, then the fall and winter writing a pilot for a tv show I had an idea for. Now I'm working on more episodes, plus a film script with a friend of mine up in Seattle. Who knows what'll come from it, if anything, but it sure is something I'm enjoying doing. I'm 53 so, much as you are doing, I'm trying to mix it up some for my third act. Don't want to go out wondering if I shoulda, you know? Thanks again for your time, and best of all things to you and filmmaking. Sounds excellent! Take care - J 2018-05-14T23:43:58Z Comment by Greg St Pierre Some fun and not-so-fun stuff in there, Jim. I've only ever had a gun near my face once. Can't say I cared for it. You have a great memory. Can I ask what inspired you to write and produce these? Have you ever considered trying your hand at screenplays? You have a knack for good visuals. You should've asked Molly out by the way. You otter get hold of her and find out what the real reason for the invitation was (easier said than done some decades hence, I know). Wouldn't be surprised to discover there was more to it. The kicking in of the Simple Minds tune was a nice touch, I must say. I've had a lot of jobs too over the years. Ended up as a career automotive technician but it was never what I really wanted to do. It paid the bills and I was good at it. Now I run a small business diagnosing electrical and electronic issues with cars. And I've gotten into filmmaking but at 50 the odds of anything impressive coming from it are slim at best, though it's fun and challenging. Cheers mate. 2018-05-14T17:03:09Z
