People ask "why Happy Jack Frequency?" So, to simultaneously answer all of ya'll...
I'm a big fan of Steven King. Not because I necessarily like his genre but because I like the way he paints colorful pictures with words. He creates new ways to ignite the imagination and as a songwriter, I admire that. Anyway, reading The Shining by King, there is a point where Jack Torrance is going insane and hallucinating. One of these hallucinations is a radio saying "you're tuned into the Happy Jack Frequency". Bam! My grandfather and his family once lived in a small town in Plaquemines Parish Louisiana called... Happy Jack. I spent alot of my youth there as did 4 or 5 generations behind me. I like my family history. I like parallels. Most of my songs are created using parallels so it was only necessary, I suppose, that my bands name should also be derived from a parallel.
It's an eternal vibration... such as existence itself... no beginning and no end but rather a continual hum that is as soft and as over powering as the waves of the ocean.
You're tuned into te Happy Jack Frequency.

One of my favorite places is to visit a camp along Happy Jack. I'm actually about to carve and paint a sign for thier camp. You should come with us next time, it's always a soft place to land for a while.
