Below you can read my history, note my alien perceptions, admire my lunacy, refer to the song credits, and see what fans are saying in the song reviews.

As a kid, my heroes were comics and scientists. A typical pop star might as well have been wearing a placard across his chest which said "I'm ignorant, have no sense of values, and am suffering from low IQ." In 40 years nothing has happened to make me change my point of view.

mathematics - growing up it seemed to me to be the closest thing to the truth I could get to - u have to come up to it - not bring it down to u... Algebra tells us about the simultaneous processes of abstracting the real and realizing the abstract...Music, represented by black notes on white paper, a truly international language, gives us an opportunity to express powerful emotions that speak in wondrous tongues...

I have lived in 3 cities: Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, and each has given me something unique that I treasure. Thank you Canada. My mind is in many places, but my heart is in the Canadian Maritimes. Soon I will be coming home...

I consider myself an alien from the planet Nixulu, which lies within the galaxy of Gerdar

On a good day I feel like an alien, on a bad day like a gargoyle

I am a person that is not easily categorized. Most people live on the surface - on top of the table. Some get beneath the table, occasionally on the floor, while once in a while someone slips beneath the floor. I live in the cellar, with a somewhat difficult emotional existence.

Bacal's Snappy One-Liners:

If you are looking for the truth, don't worry, the truth will find you

The Truth is not tough, it is resilient however

A real Truth salesman never charges for his wares

I am what I am, and that's what I am

When you help somebody you help yourself

My heart is a random variable, it will never converge

If you speak the truth and stand up for God, then God will always be by your side, no matter what religion you were born into

I wish to thank the gods for sprinkling me with white magic pixie dust when I was a very young child.

White magic is more powerful then all of the religions in the world stacked up end on end

White magic vs Jesus Christ: a wash of the same breath (paranormal info)

There is no single cure for cancer. There is, however, a cure for all cell-based disease (Paranormal information Montreal 1988)

All cognitive processes can be acquired. There are only 2 things that you cannot teach: quickness and attitude

Perception dominates intelligence in any evaluation of mental acuity

Room sound dominates the equipment used to record it

Programming Bug Types

2) Logic Errors
3) Syntax Errors
4) Working when you should be sleeping errors

In America a 1st class citizen is a Caucasian, a 2nd class citizen is an Afro-American (soon to be Latino), and a 3rd class citizen is everybody else.

In the country of Canada a 1st class citizen is someone with money, a 2nd class citizen is somebody with a good income, and a 3rd class citizen is everybody else.

I consider America to be the brother I never had. I am very lucky to live in the wonderful country of Canada, with my best friend, my brother, living so close by.

REVIEWS

"If Bob Dylan had a better voice and he could play guitar like Mark Knopfler, then he would sound like Jimfre Bacal" ..Gary Hunt, promoter, Crossroads Music Festivals, Roanoke, VA

"...Bacal is nothing like the typical rude and crude blues guys. He is an original, injecting new life in new ways into a tired formula oriented genre..."

"Cool music!!!!!!!!!! Most of all I like the variety in your songs. Soft pieces combined with cool guitar solos, I love it." Guido Moortgat, Belgium

Re: Uncle Harry
very nice, did you catch an angel ?
May I broadcast it on www.dbc-radio.net ?
Musiciensbiz@aol.com

Finally got to listen to it - great track! Very ethereal. Guitar does sound sweet
Kevin Bolembach, President Godlyke, Inc.

It's beautiful
we have included it in our Top 25 songs 2005

Re: Katherines Room
"Canadian Jimfre Bacal plays an engaging blend of folk and blues with a singer-songwriter aesthetic that at times recalls the best elements of Dire Straits and Bob Dylan"
www.sonicnet.com

Great production... Dylanesque vocals... Vaughn guitar touches... Who could ask for anything more...
Supernaut99 - Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada

il y a quelque chose d'urgent dans cette chanson. Cette musique n'est pas du chiqué. Le solo à deux guitares vient rajouter à la tension. Cette voix qui joue avec la fausseté des notes est touchante. Beau sans vouloir l'être , intense et prenant.

Re: Woodstock Blues
"Imagine a drunken Bob Dylan jamming with a stoned Neil Young. And you're probably still not even close."
craig@lowfidelity.com UK

I downloaded your Woodstock Blues, I think it's brilliant
Christoph Brachmann, onetakerecords.de

Crazy and cool and weird. Very cool tune - great interplay between the weird vocals and the overdriven guitar. Feels like Joy Division meets Televison, and maybe just a splash of something more oganic like Jonathan Richman. Punkish, rock, very original but not unfamiliar, makes me want to hear more.
JohnCoketrain - Little Rock, Arkansas

Originality Counts. I liked the song a lot. I don't think I've heard too many songs like it. It reminds me of the song 'Weird Science.' It's cool because it isn't a copy of other bands, which there seems to be a lot of lately. You might want to add a catchy refrain or something, but otherwise good job.
Meg7 - Palos Heights, Illinois

It's songs like this that make me glad that there are still bands in existence. It's getting to be a rare day when you can run into something that you can just listen to and appreciate. Keep it up.

Re: Schizophrenic Waltz
"Clean Guitar..I love this voice..oh..I really love this singer....this is fantastic..and I gave you 5 points..wait..this sounds like ..oh man..what is that song? Well it is awesome nonetheless..I wish I hadn't given everyone else 5 points..cuz this one needs about 20 points. PUNK is great. Good luck! "
macacamulatta - The Emerald City, Hell A, California

Great As cool as Richard Hell circa 1977

Cro mags and Fear look out!
this release has a very smooth but raw and very nice sound. in fact this track sounds a lot more spunkier than the latest from both cro-mags and the latest by Fear.
treknut - Huntington, West Virginia

Bob Dylan with a latin-twist. Exactly.
Very interesting combo to my ears. I hear Bob Dylan being very cool with a Latin, rock, Dire Straits Mix. Do you hear it too? Great sound.
drumdrum - Dallas, Texas

Yeah !
Great quality song, your singer's voice kinda reminds me of garfield from the cartoons! hilarious!
iam2cool4u - New York

great song!
I started out not liking this song...I think maybe the intro is a little too long, but now I can't stop listening to it! :-
grahmcrks - Tucson, Arizona

ROCK HARD!
This song is so good! I love it! Keep up the good work!
shpidah - Shoreview, Minnesota

Great job and Rock on, this song is hot
A part of me really likes this song, but dont worry, the other part likes it too. That song rocked! Well, i guess its because i can kinda relate... Its never my fault. Hahaha. Good job guys i'll be listening to this one later.
Guitara - Coarsegold, California

kicks ass
this sounds good, i like it a lot
princcce - Upland, California

Where's the pit when you need it!
This song could be a hit!
This song has great energy!
jsavko - Portland, Oregon

Dylanesque with wonderul guitar. All of the good parts from bobby D but fresh with a sweet guitar guy. I liked it all around. Well done. I would like to see it played at an intimate club. The production is superb.
orangepunk, Orangeville, Ontario, Canada

Re: Sad Eyed Blues
Amazingly beautiful soulful and yearning vocals. A voice that really haunts and stays with you. The musical accompaniment seems like a leisurely sunday afternoon stroll meandering along with enchanted reverbed guitar work. A song for twilight with your loved ones. Simply superb.
thingummy - Detroit, Michigan

wow...this is pretty damn good.... reminds me of radiohead.......sounds really original..... i'd redo the vocals....some parts are out of key....but it's really really great. but the out of key thing is sorta cool..... oh my god...this is really good....
Anonymous - London, Ontario, Canada

haunting vocal, haunting guitar, hit material!

Re: Billy Von Billy
This song sets a nice mood for making out with some HOT chick!
mr_honky82 - Guymon, Oklahoma

I really like the viola-like guitar sound sprinkled around the acoustic, and even more, the notes it plays. Nice changes throughout, and a coffee-drinking vibe without being a cliche. Has Native American elements to it, a kind of Spiral Stairs off-kilter-ness to it but very solid. Beautiful song.
guilden - San Francisco, California

after school special, nifty freaky funky little monkey

Summer Chilling Music
This song is so relaxing with a nice sound on the guitar that totally fits the mood, I want a copy for the summer! YOU are pretty chill.
bRiNe - Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Just left of your brain, hang your coat on the nail. A real nice Ambient sound with interesting experimental type guitar things. Personally I love, probably won't every sell in an alternative type market though.
Anonymous - Wheelersburg, Ohio

CURIOUS!
this is the most original awesome track i have heard yet on g.b.com, no kidding. I loved the track so much it made me sad
when it was done, it makes me curious to hear other tracks from this band.
fisterthe9 - Owosso, Michigan

Doodling at its finest. Like hard hitting musicals not make you cry.

Re: Manuels Dream
Unforgettable
I should probably think of some constructive criticism, but I can't. this is some of the best I've heard since Mason Jennings.
hendy110 - Minneapolis, Minnesota

one of the best songs i' ve heard on here, beautiful guitars, great vocals, i will listen to this again .. sparkling comes to mind as a description
Watson - London, Ontario, Canada

Haunted meadow sweet summer breeze
Nice soft summer breeze rustles the leaves that have gathered about my feet as the seasons change again and i'm still sitting here listening this tune that goes around and around in my head... 'going to the country'... and i'm smiling and the sky is blue ... and the snow is about up to my knees ... and i got this tune in my head 'going to the country'... yeah. beautiful song. it fits perfectly in that spot in my head that keeps songs in it. Great honest voice and tasteful guitar work.
