New CD - July 17, 2007
Greetings to everyone, it is Tuesday July 17, 2007. The rush order of the CD entitled "Melodies from my Heart", has arrived. There were many CD's sold at the show on Saturday. I actually want to take the time to apologize to all of the fans. There was an unfortunate mishap regarding the CD order. After track 5 the order is bit shuffled. The reason is because there was obviously miscommunication between myself, my graphic designer, and my printing company. However, the music on the CD is still banging! Just put the CD in and press play, and you probably won't have to fast foward through anything!lol! Enjoy.

I want to thank everyone who has already been to the site and listened to some of the new tracks. The show this Saturday will be a success I'm sure, if anyone is in the area, the tickets are 20 dollars a couple. This is going to be a really classy event, and there will be great entertainment. Well, that's all for today, God Bless!

Letter From JWhite - July 7, 2007
First of all I would like to thank the Lord Jesus in advance for the many blessings he will bestow on my life. Secondly, I would like to thank my loving mother Janet White for forcing me to take up an instrument and for taking me to all of my rehearsals and for believing in me. I want to also thank my father Rev. John White, for being a positive and strong male role model for me. Thank you Dad for purchasing me my first pro-line saxophone! I want to thank my oldest sister Janelle White for being the older brother I never had and for always thinking I can play as good as anyone! LOL! I want to also thank my little sister Joya White for being my best friend and strong support system. Last but not least I would like to thank my beautiful, supportive and creative wife, Erica White. Erica, you have been in my corner since I first met you, you are the cream in my coffee! Finally I would just like to thank anyone who takes the time to listen to my music. I truly appreciate the love and support. If there are any record labels executives reading this I’m ready when you are.
