Ever hear of a US President named Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt ?
Back in the days when he lived, America was still mostly a wild country with many
hunting for food and game as a way of life. Big game hunting was the absolute sport
of the day and often President Roosevelt would sponsor extensive hunting trips into
the wild back country.
His guide on those hunts was with a man named Bob Rushing. A copy of one newspaper article
written on the matter is attached and you can read it by simply clicking here. (Published Soon)
MrGemStoneEyes is his grandson.
So the MGEM love of outdoor adventure is not just a new temporary infatuation, but is a born instinct
inside from the beginning. By the age of 11 & having already several big game kills, a new love was
struck the moment “dad’s metal detector sounded off” & we found 40 silver dollars at the base of an old
Spanish Oak tree. From that moment, hunting game seemed foolish and elementary. Finding treasure
was a much greater thrill, and hunting it became the ongoing quest of a lifetime.
By age 14, MGEM played base on the sousaphone (tuba) and was the only member of the entire
school band to play in both the Junior and Varsity High School Bands at the same time. He earned
several awards with the school band and soon learned to play “the guitar” - this new popular fantastic
musical instrument made popular in that day by bands like the Beatles & by people like Jimi Hendrix
& others. Yet time passed and bands came & went and living money could only be generated by
working a job, so the love of adventure and music had to wait awhile.
As with many young men who grew up in the New Orleans area, the shipyards were where the
money was, and most either worked “off-shore” on rigs or in the shipyards that built the rigs and ships.
It was a time of Dr. John in New Orleans, and although fun, it seemed the right place at the wrong time
and the music just still would not come together. Years passed as time will, and although treasure
hunting was still the hobby to be involved in, there was no music.
Suddenly, everything changed in a single day. It changed by the uneventful, even casual trip into our
local electronics store in the mall. For inside the store was a box containing some software. And inside
that software was the power to transform any PC into a digital recording studio. Click - Boom.
From it came Dancin Sands Studio and subsequently, Gold-Rocks.
Without question, this software has totally revolutionized recording forever. With it, even the small
working bands (bands who’s members work a job for a living) can record their work at the pace of their
lifestyle and, it doesn’t cost thousands & thousands of dollars to create & produce. With it, every band
now has the opportunity to record their work and be heard by others.
Bands just as MrGemStoneEyes.
“For surely without it, my music would have never been heard; &
we would have missed one of the greatest of all treasures I have ever found.” -MGEM-

..is written as a memorial theme to
the Choctaw Nation. For their love &
loss; for all that was but is no more.
For although things are better now,
that which makes us better also
ultimately enslaves us.
The song itself is a soft to hard pro-
gression beginning as a piano melody
and ending with the uniform sounds
of 11 different instruments compiling
into a rockin pitch; before slowing &
cycling through the piano melody
once again.
Despite being a theme, Ballad of the
Choctaw is a definitely a party song
that can be used with or without
a dance.
..is written for those that work or have
worked a job for a living (most of us).
The song is a rap - rock music melody & is designed to get you up and going no matter how hard the job.
Features a Ronan styled lead guitar
that is boss & full of melody. Possibly
one of the best songs on the cd, as
said by some. Yet most find it difficult
to pick a favorite.
..is written in memory of Bob Rushing (of
the story above). Though you cannot be
here to listen to it, I’m sure you would
have liked the song and maybe even
danced around the camp of a Choctaw
fire to it’s “get down” boogie.
Something I miss seeing to this day.
The song features two base guitars as
the rhythm & beat sequences, giving it
a “boogie” sound right from the start. As
the lead hits peak, it will artfully bring us
back around to another verse of foot-
stomping grandpa boogie executed in
rock style.
..is written for ex-President Bill Clinton,
who created NAFTA, the import/export
Bill that pushed the US trade deficit to
beyond record levels. For now, all US
businesses must take the “China Road”
to survive.
Vocals in China Road hum the melody
“we’re all walking tha..Chi-na Road” while
the background “strings” twang with the
homeland sounds of China.
Lead guitar blends well with the songs
theme and works to create long waling
sound peaks that lead back to another
Verse. A very distinct & cool melody.
..is written for those of us that now work
with & buy goods from India, specifically
their gemstones.
“As MrGemStoneEyes I have an interest
in acquiring beautiful gemstones & India
has the selection & price if you are lucky enough to find a reputable dealer.
“An American in India” is a song themed
as a “India Sound” with bongo’s & tom-tom
drums combining with the mystical tones
of the middle east.
It’s also the proper song for the cd’s
ending as the latter stanzas are soft and
dreamy as it closes.
..was written on a stormy night in the
north Georgia hills. Our tents could not
hold back the water and all were soaked
to the bone. Yet the next morning we were
back to GOLD Hunting & the rain gave us
access to dredge places not normally
worked due to lack of water.
Now each time we go back, we hope to
just ... “Let it Rain”.
The song is a “slow” melody but rings with
an angelic voice seemingly to pierce the sky.
Very powerful and moving vocals, combined
with contemporary beat and synthesizers
which imitate the sounds of rain.
A favorite of some. Liked by all.
3rd Cut; Workin’ Man Whistle
5th Cut; Let it Rain
6th Cut; Wales of the Rockin Sea
..is written for those love rock music.
Wales are the many unique sounds that
rise up from the depths to heights that
cause waves of “rockin pleasure”.
Hard hitting melody that can be danced
to or played loud while relaxing on the
couch. Features dueling lead guitars that
work together “talking” about the wales of
a rockin sea. Very unique with a trippy -
‘waleee’ sound backed up by a good
hearted rock rhythm.
“The song is my personal favorite of
the entire cd.”
