I'm glad you're here.
Hope I can explain just what I do in detail.
I am an entertainer. By that
I mean I play music, guitar, keyboards,
sing, for parties, private clubs, weddings, lounges. Some may call me
a one man band . But there are so many bad ones out there, I don't
like the name. I use sequencers, samplers, and lights to enhance the
experience. I've been playing guitar since I was four years old.
I have had
countless bands which went nowhere and were always breaking up before
they got somewhere. I took up the keyboard in the early 70's only because
we couldn't find a keyboard player at the time. It became my main
instrument
for many years and
many bands. I wanted to play guitar and keyboard both
and sing. A friend told me to
start a single act. So I went out and bought the
stuff needed and started working. I moved from Northeast Ohio to Pt.
Charlotte,
Florida to further my musical career. There are lots of places to play
all year round.
4
YEARS OLD
14 YEARS OLD
I play popular music from the
last 60 years
Country, Rock, Slow, Fast,
NO Rap or
Metal

Jay,
Needless to say, our members in attendance Tuesday night were very, very impressed
with your talent and enjoyed dancing to your music. I will look forward to seeing
you again in the near future.
Thanks again for the great entertainment!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jay,
You were a smashing success at our Octoberfest.
You done a SPECTACULAR job, far and above what I expected.
All of the superlatives that I can come up with do not do justice to your God given talent!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Jay,
Just a note of thank you for a wonderful evening at our Gulf Coast Banjo Society
Banquet on March 29. We played out at Snook Haven the next day, and I got a lot of rave comments about your performance and the great dance music. Everybody had a wonderful
time, and our banjo players were enthralled with your playing.
P.S. I bought your CD "My favorite Banjo tunes". IT'S GREAT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jay Smith,
and talent entertaining, we enjoy dancing and listening to your music.
We enjoy the CD's that we have purchased, Country Hits 2, Mellow Guitar
that we know where you are performing so we can attend.
We want to say Thank You & greatly appreciate your talent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well Jay, just finished listening and also recording you on WENG radio.
You did a great job, as we all knew you would. You are to a point in your life where
you need and certainly deserve a thing called A BREAK....My wife Frubes and I only
know you a couple of months now, but long enough to know you know your business
and sound great and enjoy yourself most 1st when your girl Margaret is with you and not to
forget you have a great Dad who helps you load and unload and enjoys your playing and
sticks his chest out and makes him compete. Yes, not many Dads have a Jay. I would like
to also thank you for allowing me to sit in and play my SPOONS along with you. You are
great to follow and you do not miss a note. I live in Venice 35 years now and you are,
simply put, the best talent, and hope you get that break, as I know you will go far.
Best wishes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jay Smith & Jack,
Thank you both for helping to make our 50th anniversary celebration extra special.
My guest could not say enough about how great your mix of music was, especially the Banjo.
