    From a Basement on the Hill
    Hi, Im James Hudson and I will be playing anything from Robert Johnson to Aphex Twin. I'm going to talk about the music I love, how I found it, the story behind the music and what it means to me. I want my audience to be everyone, anyone who loves great music. I want to make a connection with people through music and maybe introduce them to a song that they haven't experienced before. I want people to be moved, excited and feel a wide range of emotions. I hope people can build memories with me providing the soundtrack.
