WHERE DOES
CREATIVITY
COME FROM?
Author and songwriter/producer Jim Gleeson has learned by trial and error that creativity, whether in art or business has more to do with passion and tenacity (lack of fear) than some in-born "talent". Yes, it's true some people will not be major rock stars no matter how long they try, BUT if they love music they can become someone special in the music business. Just ask famed producer, Rick Rubin.
Practicing lawyer, Robert Whitlow, received his law degree in 1979. (After passing the Bar he has had a successful legal career until this day) but after nearly twenty years he realized an urge to tell people about the law through story-telling - novels. His first was an expansive tale of the old south and a mysterious, evil inheritance left to a present day young man. THE LIST was published in 2000 and later made into a movie. Robert Whitlow could have been satisfied with his successful legal profession, but he fearlessly committed to fulfill his latent passion. Fourteen more published novels have followed.
Eight years ago at the age of seventy, retired architect, Jim Gleeson began learning how to record music with the new technology known as DAW (digital Audio Workstation). After his forty years in architecture, his love for music drove him to teach himself to record his own songs. After eight years and many missteps, he was ready to add professional musicians to the mix. Saxophonist Tim Gordon was the first that Gleeson dared to ask to play on his cover of the Cars hit, DRIVE. This became the first song on Jim Gleeson and Gleeclub's first album -- CharlotteZown.

Jim Gleeson will be the first to admit - he is not a musician, but merely loves music and can figure out through trial and error when his arrangements begin to sound good, and then improve them to where actual musicians can add their magic to them.
I just couldn't stop, Gleeson says. I keep trying to learn the software enough to make it sound like what I heard in my mind. I am not a pro at anything, guitar, singing, mixing or engineering. I probably use less than ten percent of the capabilities of the software, but it's OK. I'm not trying to be like anyone else. I'm just making
