**************************************
You may not realize it, but Georgia is the birthplace of nearly every style of music to which you listen – especially rock and hip-hop. If it were not for artists such as James Brown, Otis Redding and Little Richard – all from the state of Georgia, then popular music as we know it would not exist. Staying true to their roots and and other Southern Rock bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers, J.D. Star is bringing the roots of Georgia Music into the modern age.


 

"If you are trying to keep up with copyright and Fair Use, you will fall behind. If you ignore it, you will more than likely get into trouble. If you apply the principles of Media Permissions and Ethics, you will supersede copyright, conquer Fair Use, stimulate the economy and educate for 21st Century Skills."  - Barry Starlin Britt
