| About Ronnie Jay Wheeler |
I was an English teacher for 30 years and have recently retired-hopefully to play music much more
live than I was able to before. I'm planning on doing a "jukebox tour"-not necessarily in tour fashion or intensity-but where, in time, I play most every place Way Over Yonder and the new CD is on jukeboxes and public CD players. Oh, yes, the new CD and RandallCousins who I promised in the beginning to tell you about! Before I get into that, though, I will say that I was honored to be one of the six musicians asked to play at Pampa's (Texas) Tribute to Woody Guthrie in 2003 along side Jimmy Collier and Pete Seeger. Most recently I played the Mantle in Bricktown, in Oklahoma City, and I hope to see you onthe jukebox tour or who knows where if the success of the 2nd CD takes off and leads me to your town.
This second CD is called All Over The Map. It came about by the success of Way Over Yonder, the
grace of God, and luck, I'm sure. When Ray Pieters, a DJ from Mol, Belgium, found my music on CD Baby, he liked it and played it and turned me on to Eddie Russell, a DJ in Texas. Eddie helped me turn my music on to DJs all over the world. One was Dann Hansen from Denmark who really liked my style and had a music business partnership with Randall Cousins in Brampton,Ontario, Canada. Randall liked it too and offered to do a CD with me on his indie label Alleged IguanaMusic. So, over Christmas break my last year of teaching, we were headed to Toronto to make All Over The Map. About eight months later Randall was finished with the producing, engineering, and mastering and All Over The Map was pressed in late September 2004.
