In trying to cover the basic costs of the project we are considering offering a home spun dvd of our entire catalog to date. To include ogg, mp3, flac mixes of all material, jam tracks and individual mix tracks including cd quality final mixes. Over a hundred audio files. For a price of $12.00 per dvd plus shipping and handling. Please let us know if there is any interest out there in the web-o-sphere by signing up for our newsletter over on our website. www.dejunair.com
Well due to some financial difficulties it looks like The Dejunair Project might not be around much longer. I have felt the strain of late, as everyone else has I am sure, of a not so stable economy. Which in turn has minimized the amount of funds available for my non money making projects. Sad thing is the amount needed is not very big less than a few thousand dollars. The earliest we will take the site down would be May 1st, if at any time something becomes firm I will post an update. Pawned all the extra gear I had and it is just not enough.
I plan to keep the site up as long as possible and if a definite end date is set ahead of time we will post an update ASAP. Thank You to everyone whom has supported the project by downloading the music. In total to date we close to 100,000 downloads in just a year, not to bad for a couple regular guys in our little home studios…
Well its been really busy for me latley. Finishing up the first CD release for The Dejunair Project. Hopefully this will generate a little funding to pay the hosting and b/w bills.
Currently working on some additional jam tracks. Styles will include blues, jazz, rock and country in various keys. These will be posted here on my blog and also on The Dejunair Project site.
Away from TDP, I am starting material for my first solo CD project also. No idea as to a title or anything else other than it will be a blues/southern rock style compilation. I also have an all acoustic guitar solo project in the works, need to add some extra hours to my day I think.
Peace,

Groovy Baby! The Dejunair Project will be releasing our first cd, an 8 song EP, fairly soon. Check back for updates to the progress.
This is a pre-release to the entire Peace Love and Happiness Sessions full release due out by the end of the year. As always all the songs will still be available for free from the the website. TDP Discography

I do not usually speak on such things but really… we as a country do not have anything else for our Senate to spend time, money (our money) and resources on?
To everyone in the hearing room;
GET TO SOME REAL ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!!
For instance the Economy, the War(s) and Global Warming if no one in the room also has no idea what else they could be doing right now.

Hey folks, just wanted to drop a quick note on the status of what I am up to. Working on final session for TDP’s first CD/DVD release. Also working on writing new material for our next project.
Aquired an old Teisco Heit Deluxe and a custom built SG style axe that I am currently stripping down for new finishes. Some neck work on both, wiring, custom setups etc. are all in the works for both.
Strat is up and running again, still have some small things to tweak and adjust but for the most part she is ready for recording/playing.
I will try and keep things more up to date now that the holidays and new year are behind me.
Peace All,
McStrum
In the past year the number of web sites linking to free downloads and streaming music has exploded, meaning there are more ways than ever to get your music fix. Today I’ll highlight the best web sites -and best search kung-fu-for finding free music online. We covered this territory over two years ago, but believe me, a lot has changed in that time
My interest in musical oddities dates back to high school, when I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to invent an original instrument. Here are 5 weird ones that not only work, they’ve also passed the test of time.
Distinguished guests, fellow readers: As we gather tonight, CD sales are down, major label revenues are sliding, and the music industry looks to be in recession. But music isn’t dying; it’s changing.
Well I am working on some new material for The Dejunair Project as usuall, and the associated podcast’s etc. Started a little side project in the works to cut some guitar only slide covers of some ol standards.
Not sure what will come out of it but I have hope!
Peace, McStrum
