Letter from Jauquo III-X in latest BP?

[Planet Boulder]

Did anyone see Jauquo III-X's letter in the latest BP? I've always respected him as a player, but his letter gave me new respect for him as a person. Well written letter and I appreciated his perspective.

Yeah, it was a well written response to the criticism of bass players in prison. Way to go, Jauquo .

I saw that too. I thought it was very thoughtful and extremely cool of him.

Haven't seen this month's BP mag yet, but from his posts here at TB Jauqo has always struck me as a very thoughtful, gentle, insightful person. Exceptionally so.

um, i'm not a bassplayer mag buyer anymore, but i'm curious... what did it say??

and yes, J is a great person..

I also want to say that the letter was a very nice,and i have more respect for Jauquo for that kind of letter.It takes a real man to admit mistakes and learn from them and use them to help others.
Jauqo.....you are the man!

[JAUQO III-X]

Thanks guys for the kind words. I'm just a very real and down to earth person and I'm not at all ashamed of where I've been, because it helps me have a better understanding of myself and of my future. I just wanted the musicians who are locked up to know that there are some musicians out here who really do feel and understand their situation. I have been in their shoes and I fully understand and it's not the end of the world no matter how deep in the darkest hole they may find themselves.

The first issue of BP magazine came out while I was incarcerated and I had a copy of it as well as a subscription.

A lot of the things that I'm doing now believe it or not, I worked on while I was in prison and continue to do so to this very day.

I just put the mag down and was wondering if the letter was from you... or some other Jauqo III-X. hehe

No link. You gotta' pick up the magazine.

I just read it. Wow. I gotta say I respect you even more after reading that! Not many folks would offer that sort of info about themselves! I don't even want to know what you were in for! It doesn't matter to me! You're character speaks for itself! It's a shame many of those who are incarcerated most likely never had an outlet to occupy their time and possibly keep them off the street!

[JAUQO III-X]

Thanks DWBass.

This is from a best selling book that came out some years ago, where individuals talked about aspects of experiences they've had in life and here is my contribution to the book.

Excellent read.

Thank's for the read Jauqo!

Great read - thanks for sharing. I'd love to hear more about what you mean by "I've also discovered that there are some white people who have the essence of Africa flowing through their beings".

Thanks again

Are you familiar with the origins of Man?

[Alexander]

Sorry - not sure what you mean. Yes, I understand the origin of all men was from the continent of Africa - is that what you are talking about or something else?
