Voice, guitar, kazoo and washboard: John Roundcity


John Playing


Interview with John

Artist: John Roundcity
Medium: Vocals, guitar, kazoo and washboard
Location: Washington Square Park

When John Roundcity says he’s a native blues player of the “great black swamp” he’s talking about Toledo, Ohio. John has left his hometown swamp to search for opportunity in the Big Apple. “The Midwest is dying out,” he explains, “the jobs are leaving, no one wants to pay good money to listen to decent music…Even Detroit,” he laments, “Detroit’s a shithole, everybody knows that.” Remaining true to his roots, though, he adds “…but you gotta love it.”

So did John come to New York make money in the music business? “Ah, not so much… I’d rather play music…[but] there’s all this other opportunity around me.”

Although searching for any kind of opportunity, John Roundcity loves his music. He caught the music bug from his grandfather who was a harmonica player. His grandfather liked the blues so he says he naturally gravitated toward that. After learning the harmonica John taught himself the guitar. “I play the harmonica and I like to sing, so I figured I’d pick up guitar. Something to accompany my voice, I guess.”

John just moved to New York about a month ago but he’s not stranger to the place. He was usually here two to three months out of the year anyway visiting his brother. John loves playing in the streets of New York and enjoys it more than he being on stage, stating that he likes to be loud on his own and that after losing some hearing from performing on stage too much, he finds it hard to get back into it. He also has this to say:

“When you’re playing in a club or a bar it’s hard to get peoples’ attention…but if I could get just one person to stop when going from point A to point B and pay attention to what I’m doing, that gives me more satisfaction than playing in a room full of drunk people who necessarily don’t even give a shit. It gives me more satisfaction to be down here on ground level…I love it all.”

Everybody[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+video+tenny+porno+hardcore+sex.html]free video tenny porno hardcore sex[/url] heard rumours [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno++++++cartoon+characters.html]porno cartoon characters[/url] about women[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/indian+porno.html]indian porno[/url] faking orgasms. Is that true? The majority of women have [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+sites+nipples.html]porno sites nipples[/url] faked at least one orgasm, yet some fake almost all of them. Why do they do that? There[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/teen+porno+sites.html]teen porno sites[/url] are many reasons and the case is that there's [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+xxx+porno.html]free xxx porno[/url] no one to blame.
The most [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/fotos+porno+de+negras.html]fotos porno de negras[/url] common are two [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/teen+family+porno+video+pictures+teen.html]teen family porno video pictures teen[/url] reasons: they[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+asian.html]porno asian[/url] don't want to make their partners feel bad [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/deja+dude+porno+tubes.html]deja dude porno tubes[/url] or they are tired and just want to end sex. Most females say that their partners ar[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/anime++porno.html]anime porno[/url] e not satisfied until the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+first+ass+fuck+porno+clips.html]free first ass fuck porno clips[/url] girls feels orgasm, there's only one way to make them feel happy and stop the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/hardcore+porno+sex+and+submission.html]hardcore porno sex and submission[/url] exhausting procedure - fake.
Another [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/descargar+videos+porno+gratis.html]descargar videos porno gratis[/url] reason is that a[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/%3Fs+you+porn++old+women+porno.html]?s you porn old women porno[/url] typical female [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/xxx+free+porno+videos.html]xxx free porno videos[/url] doesn't seek for orgasm; she desires a sexual [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/young+lesbian+porno.html]young lesbian porno[/url] relationship only because she wants intimacy. Still, such an attitude may make her partner feel bad. [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/download+cartoon+porno.html]download cartoon porno[/url] The only way out is to [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/sex+porno+babe.html]sex porno babe[/url] fake it out.
[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+porno+movies+watch+me+jerk+off.html]free porno movies watch me jerk off[/url] Some women never really experience orgasm while making sex, but they want their partner to feel good about himself and her. Men usually expect women to have pleasure, that's why females have no other choice. They have to fake to have a good relationship.
Loss of interest, having sex only because the partner wants to, also makes women to fake. Most females talk to their friends about such things and while they know other women act it, they do so too, because it's an easier way to have a good relationship.

In biology, sex is [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/amateur+sex.html]amateur sex[/url]
a process of combining and mixing [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/brother+sister+sex+pictures.html]brother sister sex pictures[/url]
genetic traits, often resulting [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/young+virgin+sex.html]young virgin sex[/url]
in the specialization of organisms into [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/celeb+sex+clips.html]celeb sex clips[/url]
a male or female variety (known as a sex). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/virtual+sex+machines.html]virtual sex machines[/url]
that [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/outdoor+threesome+redhead+sex+video.html]outdoor threesome redhead sex video[/url]
inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/how+to+have+sex+with+dogs.html]how to have sex with dogs[/url]
such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/indian+anal+sex.html]indian anal sex[/url]
gametes are small, [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/usa+sex+search+guide.html]usa sex search guide[/url]
motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/senior+sex+tubes.html]senior sex tubes[/url]
the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.
An organism's sex is [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/free+live+sex+cam.html]free live sex cam[/url]
defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/pregnant+girl+having+sex.html]pregnant girl having sex[/url]
gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/sex+sites+like+zoo+tube.html]sex sites like zoo tube[/url]
gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
