Jamoof

My own stuff almost exclusively; writing music is therapy, and a celebration of this incredibly beautiful world we live in, and the power of love.
If you wish for a little more info on me, there's a video interview with me from back in Oct. 2018 you can look up. Also, there are  radio interviews with Rick Haggerty of Valley Free Radio here on this page, under the Community tab.
~My nickname- "Jamoof" comes from back in 1978, working for the Appalachian Mtn. Club one winter up in New Hampshire's White Mountains. (I worked for them for 8 years total- my "first retirement"- ha!) Late at night I could be found in the dining hall at Pinkham Notch Camp playing music in a huge room with a 50 ft. tall ceiling and wonderful acoustics.
A night watchman came in each night- Sean Shedd- who grew to be a good friend. He would usually greet me with "hey J-M!" but one night decided to "pronounce" the initials of my entire name (John-Michael Field). 
This came out as "Ja-Moof."
It stuck.
End of story.
