How's it hangin' homeless humans? I'm Tall Sam Jones.
I'm a music school dropout committed to healing the world with music. My ultimate goal is to take hitch hiking to an inter-planetary level and play saxophone on The Moon and beyond.
I've been on the road since New Years Day, 2016. My story is familiar to many. I was disenfranchised and dissatisfied with the square life. I had been living at home with my parents after dropping out of school at the University of Idaho. My parents were insisting that I give up on my dreams and get a job. I ended up packing way-too-much stuff into a backpack, grabbing my soprano saxophone, and thumbing it out on the highway outside my home town of Walla Walla, WA in the bitter cold.
I spent that first night on a house boat, of all places. A week later I was in Isla Vista, California, guerrilla camping on a wildlife reserve of the University of California at Santa Barbara. I learned to busk on campus and downtown on State street and I crashed parties with my horn, often hopping on the roof and jamming along to the mechanical canned music that college kids get down to these days.
I got picked up hitch hiking by a girl and her dog and she eventually quit her job to come with me on the road. We tromped down to Baja California in a bus with some surfers, then came back and went north to trim weed in Northern California. I got way paranoid and whacked out after some heavy psychedelic use, broke up with that nice girl, and started hopping trains.
I've been up and down the West Coast dozens of times, and have more recently started exploring the South Western states, busking on the Strip in Vegas and making it as far east as Austin, TX. I plan to get a real education in street music by spending some time in New Orleans soon.
MOON OR BUST. I am a futurist and have had some interesting experiences with knowers of government secrets as well as contact with what I can only rationalize as extra-terrestrial visitors. If you're not willing to jump out of the mainstream, consider recent developments of near-future plans to build inhabited bases on The Moon and Mars. We might want to buy the domain name for "Squat The Planets" before anything major happens!
After a pretty long stretch away from the internet, this site gives me a nice place to come back to. Here I can contribute and learn about the style of travel that I love without being bombarded by ads, news, and propaganda. I hope to contribute with advice and stories and especially with music, if I can. I have a lot of experience busking in many different styles, setups, and locations. I will gladly give tips on how to survive by playing street music, and I often give actual music lessons for free via the internet. If you're interested in learning The Universal Language, hit me up!
I'm housed up for a few weeks while I play music for a Broadway Musical. After I get paid for the gig I'll hit the road again and start collecting more stories and experience to post here.
Peaceably,
-Tall Sam Jones
