Hey everybody, I'm now on BMC too! 👋

I go by A.J. and live in northern Virginia with my wife of 40+ years. I have been writing songs on-and-off since @ 1977 with a long break to raise a family. Our children are now grown so a few years ago I rediscovered much of my old music and have been creating more for my YouTube channel, A Jan Music.

I created this page in case you want to support my music with a simple notion of buying a virtual cup of coffee; this is the place to do it. If you prefer to say it's for some tea, chocolate, an adult beverage, or even a slice of pizza, it's all very cool and greatly appreciated.

And a big THANK YOU too; I appreciate each and every one of you who supports my efforts.

In my videos, they are primarily home productions and created at some of the oddest times. Inspiration comes in the kitchen, and many other places in our home. The creative juices also come a times when I least expect it. Thank goodness I have a smart phone where I record ideas as soon as the come; if I wait, I invariably forget what I was thinking of. Thank you Chris Stapleton for sharing that idea in your ASCAP interview.

You can watch all of my collaborations and solo efforts on my YouTube channel (@ajan6999), follow me on Instagram (@janitscheka) or connect with me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/people/A-Jan-Music/100089067001799/).

SOME BACKGROUND INFO

My hometown is Ramsey, NJ. At 17 I joined the US Air Force and traveled extensively, including 12-years in Germany, a year in South Korea and a year in Greenland (where I met my wife). We're very proud of both of our children and their families. They have endured my attempts at singing and playing guitar for decades. In 1996 we settled down in northern Virginia after retiring from the military. I play bass for a local band called Scratch Resistance; we perform primarily our guitarist's basement.

Thank you for visiting this page. Your contribution/donation is greatly appreciated but never feel obligated; I create because I love to do it.

Thanks. AJ
