JD Collins

Thanks for checking out my profile! After a lengthy hiatus due to medical roadblocks, I am very active as a singer/songwriter. I can write in most genres & approach creative songwriting as a man with many hats in the closet. I write a song then take the hat back & get another. I was a staff songwriter in Nashville after fronting two rock band around Beaumont, Texas in the late 1960s. After an initial 6 1/2 year battle with spinal injuries, I returned to LIVE performance in Galveston, my adopted hometown, in 1998 until 2008, when I lost feeling in my right arm and began a new round of intense bone on bone pain. I've been in a wheelchair for 15 years but have hopes of getting back on my feet after replacement of my knees. I was told I would be bed-ridden and never play my guitar again. Wrong on both counts...jd I will be posting 7 CDs for download purchase ASAP - Two full band and 5 acoustic/vocal - Telling me I can't do something is like waving a red flag at a bull. jd
