Originally from the Shenandoah Valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia,

somewhere in the flat plains of Oklahoma, there lived a young boy named Jas Henry.

(as (as his Father called him, short for James, after his maternal grandfather, (back when

abbreviation of this sort was a 40% reduction in hand typesetting labor) was born at an early age.

He continued into teen age in music compositon and theory, applied theory with Howard Roberts of M.I.
in L.A. and harmony and arranging with the Berklee College of Music. After performing as a
session musician on and member of the prog rock group Panorama, he recorded with The Fanatics
the college radio favorite "Figures of Speech."

Jas has shared the middle stage with Mark O'Connor, Steve Morse (Dixie Dregs) and Aerosmith's Joe
Perry. Former students include Brad Pitt, members of Smashing Pumpkins' label group Chainsaw
Kittens, Jesse Davis of The Nixons and Bart Connor, the Olympic Gold Medalist.

Having authored a comprehensive ear training and theory system for guitarists, Jas has
transcribed for Cherry Lane Music along with recording almost new age solo acoustic guitar CD, "Anniversary."

Now in this Advanced age, there are a number of reprints of the anals of history from this illustrious career

here for your viewing & listening pleasure.

Jas & Co. would like to wish you and yours the very happiest of holidays,

and to all a good night!
