John Lennon has been a big influence on me, so I was excited to help David Usher arrange a cover of "Watching the Wheels" to submit for Amnesty's "Make Some Noise" site.
Please download the track for just 99c, and help make an impact for human rights!

My name is Jonathan Michael Gallivan and I'm an artist // musician ... I love to explore the visual and cinematic qualities of music ... sonic landscapes that create motion pictures behind the eyes.
I'm currently performing, writing and recording with a fantastic singer/songwriter by the name of David Usher. I've recorded on some of his past albums as well: "Little Songs", "Hallucinations" and "If God Had Curves". I've just finished recording, engineering and co-producing his new record, "Wake Up And Say Goodbye", which will be released September 9th, 2008. You can check out the single, "Kill The Lights", now on David's MySpace!
Another artist I'm performing with is The Clear. You will hear my guitars on that upcoming recording too.
Other artists I've worked with include The Crystal Method as well as my own band, My Brilliant Beast. We still have the rest of our lives to record our first album ... or, so they say.
Jonathan, I was wondering just now, since David's album's finished and half of 2008 has past us by, do you think you're finally going to find some time for your album? Have a nice week! Brenda LYNN
