I always intend to spend more time with this community because I recognize how much I have in common with many of you.
I invest a lot of time with a guitar in my hands; it's proven to be both a smart move and a pleasure.
I live in central Virginia and play at some of the wineries out in the Charlottesville area. If you came out to a Jim Westlyn gig, you'd hear fingerstyle guitar, Rock, Jazz, 70's stuff like James Taylor and Paul Simon... I try to perform rather than just play.
I'm also working on short stories, two nonfiction books, a novel, a memoir (I had a unique childhood) and a couple of screenplay ideas. I recognize that I'm much better at starting than finishing.
My main interest here is to network with other musicians and writers. I like to collaborate; the process of bouncing ideas back and forth always gets a lot of energy flowing.
Thanks for this opportunity to get involved with all of you.

Great to meet you, Jim Westlyn. I lived in Richmond as a kid. I like listening to jazz. Sometimes when I'm writing and sometimes when I'm relaxing. Is your music online?

Hi Jim. we share similar interests. I enjoy writing including song writing and have recently put my creative skills into a short story/novel that I’m trying to get published and promote. So interesting to hear you sing at wineries.
