Reagan Nail's CD It's Just Me, blend of Folk and Blues

...years ago, when I just started playing guitar, I rode my bike to Ravenna park in Seattle...the plan was to sit on the sunlit grass and become one with my instrument...I played whatever I learned from my lesson the day before, awful, probably, and with bad rhythm, when this woman, who looked more like a girl, walked right up and sat in front of me -- listening. She had an embroidered kerchief wrapped around this wonderful mass of streaming dreadlocks on her head and the mumu she wore resembled a Pippy Longstocking ensemble, knee socks and ribbons flying.

   I thought she was beautiful. She made me nervous, but I kept playing at her suggestion, mesmerized by this crazy looking creature with the gap-toothed smile.
   Except for those Grateful Dead specials on TV, I had never seen anything like her...It was so cool.
   After she sat down, eyes closed in worship, I noticed more people emerging from the underbrush.
   Gypsied hippy chicks and Jim Morrison look-alikes started popping out of nowhere. Here, to the trees to my right, there, from the bush by the swing set. It was like this whole underground community awoke from a thirty year sleep to hear my choppy guitar playing.

A line from "Field of Dreams" suddenly popped into my head, and I began thinking about the crazy unpredictable power of music as my new friends gathered and sat down around me. "If you play, they will come". I haven't stopped playing since.

This is who I am. This is my music. It's all about me, but it's all about you, too. Take a look and listen...
