Wake Up!

Mud In The Jar

I was born one of these music gifted kids. “Singing before talking, making rhythm before walking” kinda stuff. You know.

When I was nine I learned the “4 chords” on the family’s second hand Höfner copper stringed jazz guitar and the necessary moves I learned from watching their black and white television set.

And I took it the whole way. From garage to the inner capital city club circle topping in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s.

My music is Lager Rock.

Lager Rock can be viewed as a kinda Rock n Roll toolbox which style’s was strangely sandwiched in between the Rock n Roll mainstreams of its day.
Lager Rock weld three Rock n Roll mainstreams together: Punk Rock, New Wave and classic electric Guitar Blues Rock.
It emerged in London in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s and spread like a bushfire all over Europe.
Pure condensed energy my friends.

I have and I will all ways play Lager Rock!
Through out my life, besides playing Lager Rock, I’ve been doing a ton of odd jobs from business consulting to flying airplanes. But I have never ever being anything close to selling my guitar and leaving Lager Rock and in that way too Rock n Roll.

But when my life moved into its fifty’s my not so healthy lifestyle caught up with me and in the last six years it seems like Grim Reaper now and then raised his tent in my back garden. You know just to stay close in case.

As I was spending my time mostly negotiating with Mr. Reaper a strange thought came to my mind. 
I have never issued any of my music. 
Oh yes I’ve made demo’s en mas but never ever a single, EP or album. 
Then and there I took a swift decision. Now it’s time!!!!

And here I am ladies and gentlemen. In my early sixties recording and issuing - senior - Lager Rock and of course also with a classic DIY invented title: DIY Senior Lager Rock Streamer.

So what’s the big chromed shining truth here?
1. I’m still alive and well and…
2. Rock n Roll WILL NEVER DIE.

And that’s all for now folks.

Yours sincerely,
Jan

Thanks for stopping by! This is my creative space.

Song writer, guitarist and vocalist, Formally a bassist in a number of semi-pro rock bands in 70s.   The first serious band I was ever in was with this guy: https://soundcloud.com/paulkrainbird 
Gemini's biggest highlight was playing Windsor Free Festival on the same billing as Hawkwind. We played a bit of soccer with them before the show - lol. Another band and another highlight was cutting "Shoot the Butler" at Abbey Road and, yes, we did walk the zebra crossing :-p 
I played bass on demo tracks by Dave Jackson "Van Ser Graaf Generator" too.
 Long live Rock!

Thank you for your support.

Many thanks to you. 700 mark cracked. The name wispy clouds is derived from the band name clouds over eden. But since the beginning of the pandemic hardly any bandlife can take place, i startet to realize my ideas myself with my own studio equipment. I play all the instruments except the keyboards myself. At the keys, share the job with my son Jonas Ahrens, also as "lens flare" on soundcloud.(He can do this much better than i). Musically i´m inspired by bands like Yes,Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Eloy, Marillion, IQ, Neal Morse or Pineapple Thief. 
I´m happy to have found here a way to make my music heard.
I don´t like liking without a comment.
Please comment on my songs and i will listen to your songs in return and comment on them as well.  This is the only way we can all benefit from it and grow.
