Down Too Long is a post pandemic anthem offering support and encouragement to those who have been feeling trapped by social distancing and long for interaction and genuine acts of friendship. Upbeat and danceable with a blazing guitar solo from Jeia, this song continues Detroit born & Tokyo based artist Jay Bishop's journey in the Modern Funk genre pioneered by artists like Dam-Funk, XL Middleton, Silk Sonic, & Tuxedo.

Featured on the illustrious "Glydezone Radio with Dām-Funk" on Apple Music, Jay Bishop's sound has gained recognition on an international stage. Dām-Funk's stamp of approval speaks volumes about Bishop's ability to weave modern funk with a touch of the classics, creating a sonic experience that resonates across borders.

Jay Bishop has left his mark on the modern funk scene through collaborations with acclaimed labels such as The Sleepers Records and recently dropped a 7" vinyl single released on Outrun Records.

Drawing from the wellspring of boogie pioneers such as Kashif, Leon Silvers III, and the iconic duo Jam & Lewis, Bishop pays homage to the architects of groove. In the realm of modern funk, Bishop finds inspiration in the trailblazing sounds of XL Middleton, whose modern approach to funk has redefined the genre. Their influence echoes in every bass line and resonates in the soulful chords of his music.

The result is a musical tapestry that weaves together the best of both worlds — the classic boogie that laid the foundation and the modern funk that pushes the boundaries. Jay Bishop stands at the crossroads of these influences, carving his own path in the legacy of funk music.

My Dad was a Jazz Musician so I grew up with an ear and deep appreciation for good music.
Hope you enjoy my selections as much as I do! Thanks to all the artists through the years who have painted the memories of my life!

Love you my brothers and sisters. We all are family don’t matter what you look like. What matters is how you are, how you think, how you behave, how you act alone and with others, be good to the younger ones , give them help or attention and put elders we need to honor, appreciate and respect. When they talk you listen because they know something you don’t even if you already have the knowledge they can give you a different perspective than what you have grown accustomed to. Thank you and love you Dear Lord! Thank you for the women too and help us to be blessed with our wives and children’s. Help us be healthy, honest and be the best we can be at our profession so that our business does what it is supposed to do and get paid for. Thank you lord l please help us to become more like what you were expecting or anticipated so we can be close to you. Thank you. 
P.S.
I never backed down backing up my bro or sis.
 RESPECT needs to be offered as a Degree in college, even to the PHD level. If we all had a better understanding of what all Respect encompasses it would dramatically improve our world in ways we could never imagine. War would be a thing the past, the Earth and its Creatures would be able to heal. Animals and plants wouldnt be endangered the air woild be fresher without pollution, technology would not be so intrusive and doctors would professionally do their duty and actually heal people . The Medical mistreatmebt thatbpeople have experienced becsuse some Physcian or Surgeon was PRACTICING which means they are not not fully competent at what they are licensed to do. Let a Electrician practice on your and not take his job as serious as he needs to ajd your house will catch fire from wiring it wrong or a plumber practice doing the toilet and shower plumbing and you get a hot piss shower instead of clean water?  The different people, culture, food, places or language is what makes our world great, everything the same would be the worst. A new way of living with a new understanding and appreciation for Respect is what we need.  Thanks

Down Too Long
