The American Gentleman. We’re Moving!
Starting January 1, we will be bringing you a new website on a new platform. The American Gentleman will still be available at TheAmericanGent.com but we will have a new and improved website. We’re making this move in anticipation of a total revamp of AG. With a new book “New Rules of A Gentlemen” as a step beyond the original 150 lessons, we anticipate that AG will continue to be a starting point for young men (and women) to find important lifestyle, career, dating and life advice that makes them better every day. We look forward to the New Year and thank you for reading, commenting, asking questions and striving to make us and yourselves better every day. . - John, Editor-in-Chief/Owner, The American Gentleman Stock your bar…winter is coming.

I had a crisis last spring, when I came back from NOLA and couldn’t/wouldn’t get it out of my head enough to prioritize school. You do soul-work because you’re provoked by feeling horrible. I’m feeling like I’ve never been in this particular skin before—but it’s home. Yay for God, yay for the Ranch, yay for me, and yay for the people who love and support me. Humans Are Free. Library Industries. New Buchla Compilation Release! One of the great things about being an electronic musician is the constantly evolving community on-line.
There are forums, mailing lists, blogs, and sites which offer information and support on even the most obscure instrument, software, operating system, or vintage relic. Another benefit of this is it is easier to find other like-minded individuals and create and share music and ideas. Those of us older types remember the days of "tape trading" when the only method of having a friend in another state or country hear your music was to put it on a cassette and put in in a mailbox. Like, with postage and such kids. Gasp! Some great music came out of those days. I'll let the curator of this fine release, Giorgio Sancristoforo, describe his efforts and the final CD as he does it best: "Some months ago I’ve asked to the fellow Buchla musicians of the MuffWigglers website to participate to a collective experiment on music notation for the Buchla synthesizer.
The result is finally here. Puke Stories. The Synth and I.
