So~ the whole story of how we found him is a little interesting. It was the 4th of July celebration. Every year we go to Vegas, but my husband came home to tell me we were going to Wyoming. He said we would get to drive by Pepsi Headquarters~ I drink Coke~ I had no idea how that weekend would change my little world. Anyone want to hear the rest? or give Jalan a listen?

Hi Trensue, my computer's audio system is out of whack so I couldn't listen to him but I went on Jalan Crossland's website. Hmmm, he sounds very interesting and humorous in the dry sarcastic way. I liked what I read about him and I can't wait until the computer decides to start playing music again so I can listen to him. How does the rest of your story go?

We pull into this town and there a whole lot of cars and people, but town was sparse. They had three bars, a post office, a general store, and three churches. There were a few houses spread through. There was a rather large sign explaining the name of the town, that seems fitting. Who names a town Ten Sleep?

Anyway I heard this music playing over in a parking lot and I was drawn to it. I needed to see who was there?

It was one man with some back up tapes, several musical instruments laying about and a pic or two on each finger of each hand.

There is so much more****

Do I sense a possible short story on this? It is very interesting to me. I love how people "discover" different types of music and musicians. Ten Sleep? That in itself seems to provide fodder for the story. Do you want to continue to tell it or are we lost in a town called Ten Sleep with a musician named Jalan Crossland?

The name of the town - it was named because of the petroglyphs left by the Native Americans of the area. This location was ten sleeps between the Natives home and the US Fort. I thought it was cool. Now back to Jalan.

I love the name. Jalan is another cool name. I know he plays a number of instruments from your description of several instruments laying on the ground. I wonder what he looks like? What was it that drew you to the spot, was he playing already or singing? Was there a crowd gathered?


myLot reputation of 96/100. Trensue (1188)  2 weeks ago

The music was already playing and there were people listening. It wasn't the type of music that brought me there, but it was the only music around. When I saw how quickly he could move his fingers and noticed that he could changed the keys while playing and written it into his music I was awestruck and that only took two songs.
I then went to find my husband because I wanted him to watch this man's hands.

Did he sing at all? Were you able to find your husband (I mean I'm assuming you found him eventually). Did Jalan play "to the crowd" (eye contact, get the crowd involved) or was his focus completely on his own music. Could you sense the passion he played with or what exactly besides the speed and changes in key that amazed you? I hope you don't mind all the questions.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Trensue (1188)  1 week ago

I had almost forgotten that someone was interested in Jalan. He didn't really play to "the crowd" He looked for the people who were intently looking and listening and focused on them. It really wasn't my "type" of music, but I had never see fingers fly so fast or hear such interesting and original music. There was not a thing I recognized. He was performing all his own stuff.

My husband was very reluctant to come over, but once he did he moved from the back, to the middle, to the front in a matter of four songs.

Things got even more interesting when he took a break. We walked over to grab and sandwich and then come back and he followed us. "You guys aren't from around here are you?"

My husband looked us up and down and said "We look funny or something." "No, you are just surprised by my music and folks here are used to it."

Should I go on?

Please do. The idea of being singled out by a musician after performing (even on a street venue) is exciting and being able to do that simply due to youself and your husband's reaction is interesting!
