Dear MySpacers....

During this  halloween-weekend I will perform some of my shows.

The first one will be on Sunday 1/11 -- here in Sweden though...
At the great church of this place called "Arnäs" outside my hometown called "Örnsköldsvik". Tricky names, huh?!

This is one of my concerts where I perform classical / spanish guitar.

These shows show up every now and than, and I do not put much PR for it here on Myspace, since the shows are all in Sweden. Oftenly now in sacral enviroments, which I LOVE! Very stimulating working enviroment, being a freelance musician. Lots of nice response, and I actually like doing other things than just be in ROCK.

So why I am writing this in english?

Well, since its halloween holidays, I thought it might be fun to update some stuff that I am up to. The other show is coming on the follwing week on 5/11 by the way. 

I tend to spend more time in the studio nowadays -- a lot!
I am actually working on a secret project, that is gonna be a total blast! More than this I won´t relive at this point due to a contract.
All I can say this is gonna be something out-of-this world! I am neither telling you / or anwers mails, on when this project is brought to public. You will though see when this is finally in public. Promise.

Till this time comes, welcome to browse around my music at
 
www.jimmy-bee.com

By the way, on this coming holiday ---

Its not called Halloween really, its our traditional..... 

"All Saints Day" holiday

Which isn´t anything REMOTELY like the celtic tradition that is also being held / celibrated on the same weekend. We praise our beloved ones here, its a very peaceful holiday, lots of burning candles, and within Good spiritual context.

I use to go to these insane partys, transforming into The Incredible HULK.....we always had a blast on that, but ya...
I eventually ran outta paint and shirts.....


____Announcement:____

So right now I am focusing on my shows. I am partly into this intricate romantic 1800´s piece by italian guitarlegend, Mauro Giuliani. So that´s some of the stuff I am doing nowadays, being a freelance guitarist and studiomusican.

By the way my services are avaliable, so welcome with your request, if you are looking for a competent guitarist / composer / singer. Potential extra work besides my project... but do feel welcome

I operate mostly in Stockholm. 
But as you can see I am certainly flexable.

While I take my time writing, I have an important announcement to make regarding my radioactivity:

- Please, do not request me assisting you placing your band´s music on radio. I am NOT an agent.
.
You are welcome though to post your band´s commerical comments, but I have a musical carrier MYSELF besides from radio, to be taking care of.

So I do not take any incoming FREE placing -- at all. I am proffessional and its Not up to me spending my time helping other artists out volontarely! This was a tendecy of the recent past. Not anymore.

Now its ME that matters.

Sure we could work out a collaboration and there within get the extra publicity, but that is ONLY for artistical collaborations I am talking about. Period.

This very profile attracts other proffessionals though; Fulltime agents, promotion / record labels... There You may find what you are looking for. So with my total honestly: 

- Wishing you best luck, all talents!
  
Now I have to get back to MY carrier.
See you somewhere out there.

Cheers /

- Jimmy

Attention to another wave of hi-jacking here on Myspace

There..s a crappy online game, here on Myspace, called "Mobsters"...
Recently, I have recieved some really wierd so-called "application invitations"
coming from some of my friends profiles.

The messages say -- and I quote:

"Join my family in Mafia Wars! Together we can, wipe out weaker families and build a criminal empire in the most exciting mafia game on MySpace!"

What is messed up, is that these invitations are coming from, positively, spiritually engaged persons. No sense at all here. 

So to all corny hi-jackers:

- Give it a break! Go and read a book or something - get well!!!

And if you..re on my friendlist, and actually personally sent this kind of invitation: Get outta here! I definitely think these activities are extremely uncool, and I am not at any point impressed what so ever with this "exiting mafia game" - or anything simular to it. Keep that crap out of my way.

If any of you reading this, not being hijackers, please message me if a simular, mad invitation like above, ever emerges from my own profile. I sure like to get my hands on these hi-jackers...Very important. And to the Myspace staff:

- Be more serious! Site owners should manage to solve these issues -

*Still, thanks to all you talented people out there, who actually keep sending me fine resonable messages. All good intelligence gets my support.

50 years of absence - The story continues
 
Last summer I wrote the article below. I was hoping the would be a difference
in the Tibet - China conflict. There was not.
 
Remember how engaged you, and so many other been about this?
Remember that feeling of making a change?
 
Where is it now???
 
This is the typical lazyness of the west! As long as there is not a hype on things, there is no need to care. Get up from your lazy tv nights and rock!
I wanna disturb the western comfort, and say you need to get a kick in the ass, in order to work! All you care about is your house, your car, your band, yourself
its so pathetic the minor problems many of us living in the west, just blow up.
Oh yes, we have an economical crisis, and I am glad it struck in a way. Why?
That makes you re think your reality. Life should not be easyliving, only gaining personal sucsess, going on sweet holidays. Now many people are no longer in that position. Think again. This how its been for Tibetian 50 years!!
 
I read of the most extreme case on this.
 
A german billionare, had like 7 billions on his account, and after the economic crisis struck he had only 4 billions. He killed himself. The ultimate self-pity!
There are other problems in here, ya know???
 
Today it is exactly 50 years since Dalai Lama and fellowship was forced to tibetian exile. 50 years... That..s quite some time for being away from home.
 
So what has really happened since last March? Nothing.
Tibet is still a scattered people. Bejing worked out just fine. The issue remains.
I am dissapointed, but not suprised.  Come on, forget about not everyone is dealing with the Tibet issue, since its not appearently "hot stuff" anymore....
 
Get off your comfortable, lazy, western chairs
Stand up and be counted! And we mean it, this time!

____________________________
      *Original article:
 
 
Olympics & independence
?


 
Today is the independence day for the planets most powerful nation - USA.
This leads me to the next superstate - China, and the lack of an independence day for Tibet. Hey, Washington! Take action?? Initially in March, this conflict fueled my thoughts on starting writing this article. It..s summer and we..re now just about to vitness the situation..s climax:
It is by now common knowledge, that this edition of the Olympic games declares trouble, on a variety of levels. The spectacle is being held next month.I am not gonna watch it, or support it on any level at all.

Dued to the post-coming games, Tibet has taken the opportunity to manifest their dissatisfaction, in the eyes of the global attention. As an oppressed country, Tibet has been occupied by worlds greatest nation - in sense of population i.e. - long time.
As the chinese goverment like to put it;

"Tibet has belonged to China ever since the 13th centaury... "

Actually they have possessed Tibet since the 1950..s, mainly affecting Tibet..s agriculture, wich is the main source of income for its citizens.
The wonderful leader, Dalai Lama, among many other people, nowadays lives in exile in northen India. While India is politically collaborating with China, and are under obligation to see that "order" is maintained, and nothing emerges from India that might in any way harm the "order" in China; Luckily, Dalai Lama is clever enough being in public most of the time, and I belive this might saved him from being arrested. China are too concerned about their world reputation..

Dalai Lama is really the official spokesman for Tibet, definitely the most recognized character for his homeland. I admire Dalai Lama.This man is not bitter, and has no endeavour for a violent revenge. He even puts no longer demand of independence for Tibet. Yet he is interested in peaceful agreements between the nations, and as he puts it:
"Autonomy for Tibet", wich equals the primarly ambition of letting the citizens of Tibet not being put under further, or any, restrictions under the nearby super-state.I think this is actually a rather realistic approach.

People that possess a lot, do not want to lose any of their belongings. But rearranging the properties of the possesions, may be an alternative during the right negosiations. And that..s where Dali Lama has the bright pitch.

I belive negotiations - and forced actions - might sometimes end up as simularitys. For instance, at present, China are under great pressure in a global, political perspective, dued to the brave actions initiated by the tibetanian people; fortunately followed by activists around the planet.

I am very proud of the monks that protested with no metallic weapons. Their strength consisted in the total confidence of having the righteoussnes and the divine courage, risking their life for an overall great purpose.If it wasn..t for the positive attention these monks started, China wouldn..t give a dame about the situation. Now they..re deeply concerned that the attention may harm their finacial interests during the olympics.

Certainly, their political prestige as well...

Did you know that the military departments of China have been instructed not to perform "appearent" violence. Meaning:

- Don..t do perform harm that-may-be-seen. It won..t look good...

Protests against this dictature are by all means positive.Perhaps bloodshed is not the most desirable... all those human rights-activists have a better weapon: intelligence. Perhaphs some would call them stupid, because we all know what the regime of China does to anyone opposing them: jail sentences or even assasinations. One of the recent exemples of this is Hu Jai - the chinese activist that has been the central figure in China..s anti-govermental manifestations.    He..s got a jail sentence on 3,5 years dued to his attempts for "causing instability in the state".


The chinese nation - people, military and the leaders, recived more difficulites of other nature the earthquake in May. Sure, they did a fine job helping the people. And really this is where China, in my eyes, is a tragedy:

The people. The small ones, the workers. The are the victims of the regime. With this I also claim that my blog..s issue is not regarding the bad China, meaning the bad people of China; No, it..s the regime and these powerful politicians that represents the horrible idiosyncrasy.


That always reminds me, everytime I celebrate my birthday, beacause this is a date that is banned in China. Why? 1989 and the student massacare.   

My birthdate can..t be found in any of the Chinese search-machines on the internet,( they have been censoured ) because the goverment doesn..t want to be reminded about their actions back in 1989. It..s a bit wierd all right...

Chile, Rumania, Bosnia, Russia - all those "revolutions" ended up in bloodshed. Reflecting in this manor, it seems that wars and killing has been more the logial solutions for mankind, rather than actions of intelligence. Yes, it..s an animal behaviour. The instincts of survival lurking somewhere.
All creatures, all living organisms, have the main purpose of individual persistance - at any price. Yet, shouldn..t mankind and it..s elaborately developed brains lead to better conclusions? We have the capacity, but we neglect it. The ego is stronger than people usally admit. Let..s face it, all negative symptomsof society are based on ego. Either you like it or not.

------------------------

Will China change? Will Tibet get their independence reward?
I think that protests, from all directions, are the main cause to awake the superstate from its ego-sleep. Ultimately, they might change their overall political behaviour.But I think, due to the harsh nature of society, they need literally to be forced let go a certain amount of power.

Thats why it..s so great with all these demontrations, and wonderful activists,cause its perfectly suitable right now. I hope that the conflict will be solved.  I would like to see, especially everyone professionally involved, will act outspoken with pure universial honesty on the issue, whilst there at the olympics.
I can admit there was a time in my own life, when I acted like a craphead. Still, people do and can change. Let..s just hope China will. Anyway, let..s see Tibet becoming a free nation. That..s the vision.

Dalai Lama is an indeed wise leader, pointing out that he does not support thebloodshed. In this Eastern conflict there is really only one alternative, and that is for China to improve their behavior. Later this summer we..ll see the result out of this important circus, whatever it may be. Let..s hope for the best.
I am totally on the tibetian side. Period!

Where is the ancient wisdom?

China has so many wonderful abilities and historical investments, that its all sad innot using the profound knowledge today. Yes, China also has a long history of totalist regims; but wouldn..t it today be more sufficient to say that this oriental country - with resourses of no less than 1/5 of our planet..s human creatures - has a marvelous opporunity to make a drastical change of the world - with a little guidance from their original wisdom?

Where are the Old wise, the healthy chinesian philosophy, in the regime today?


The commercial interests are obviously on the highest ratings of the list. Human casualties always comes second, the best.

But speaking of protesting against chinese forces, no-one is pointing out the value of not buying those cheap chinese things in our western shops. Next time, think about it;

- That incredibly cheap chinese device you just bought... Who gets the profit here? Well in the first place, you are the lucky one, to be the owner of that thing at such low price, that perfectly fits your wallet... Secondly, its the biz bosses over there, and each of our very own nation..s importment companies that are smiling in content. Its certainly not the poor people, the workers, that are the winners here, with extremley low salarys - if they even recive one at all.

Think about it.

And it will be broadcasted thru Swedish Radio Networks.

In the DIST show, channel 4. Set broadcast date:

DIST is a weekly rockshow with great music and exiting

For abroad listerners, there´s no reason on coming sunday to watch a boring television show, or go out and take the dog for a walk; because DIST is a musicorientated programme - for you people unqualified in swedish: No problem. It´s gonna be a hell of a show.

-----------------

During Lindgren´s last 5 years in life, we had a contious correspondance together

She read my works and actually really liked it.

Now that´s defenitly to be inscripted in pride, on my own gravestone!

Now as this special day has transformed into night, here´s my contribution in

remembering the legend. A translation from the original book, wich Astrid

recived on her 90th birthday, Time´s Sea. 

Rest in peace, my friend.  

 

 

 

____________   I AM  ______________

 

I am Blood´s whisper in oblivion

I am icecold in scalding heat

 

Behold, longing souls, into heaven´s shadows:

Love´s warm whispering in depts of sand

 

I am creation beyond all cloud´s moon

Roaming round the lonely children of night

Oh children from darkness nights´ time,

I -- a shadow in Time´s twilight

~ Like leaves like to leave...

  you listen, alive, as they dive.

  Before the Autumn field takes over in crecendo of crows..

  In sweetnened symphony for the Sun.

  Magical melodies in the Morningmachine.

 

  There - you put paws on harmonic lawns,

  my wounded, wounderous tiger!

                             ? ? ?

 

  Than came Silence.

  Quiet once again in all veins.

  Readdressed, engaged to the veils in the promising mist.

 

  - Let go beneath Poetic Avenues.

    Let´s walk on Nocturne´s Roads.
