One Shining Star is a singular CD focused on romance, adventures of the heart, and down home flavors. It’s everything good about the lives we lead here in America. Whether singing a love song or painting a picture with words, “One Shining Star” scores on every level as a triumph of mood, memories, and magic. Here is what some of our customers-fans are saying about "One Shining Star: Age no boundaries: Clara Foote of Zephryllis FL, who has an Internet catering service tells us: “What surprised me most was that my eight year Nicki and my teenager Harry both love “One Shining Star.” Harry likes the guitar licks and Nicki likes to sing along, especially with the title song, “One Shining Star.” I am just tickled that they can agree on something. I love this CD. Age no boundaries: Rebecca Weisberg of Palmers Hill CT, a grandmother and former elementary school teacher wrote: “It is the cutest thing to watch Richard, my 2 year old grandson rock back and forth to “One Shining Star.” Every time I play this CD Richard comes over and stands in the middle of the room and does the baby two step with such a big smile I can’t help but laughing. Great CD. Very cool!" Stands the Test of Time: Wendell Olsen of St Louis MO, a music critic, says: “One Shining Star” is about feeling good. Each song starts you off in a great place to be and then it gets better from there. The other nice thing about “One Shining Star” is that it keeps getting better each time you play. This astonished me at first because I am used to listening to songs that sound the same. I’ve don’t remember ever having had the experience of having music grow on me as it did most definitely with “One Shining Star.” Great songwriting and spirited performances make this CD an absolute gem of entertainment. Good job JJ Slim."

Story behind the song
I wanted to have an upbeat blues song with a romantic direction.
Lyrics
© 1998 Mark Siet & JJ Slim All Rights Reserved Nothing But The Blues YOU GIVE ME SWEET UNDERSTANDING IN THE MORNING. YOU GIVE ME LOVE WITH YOUR HEART OF GOLD. YOU BRING ME UP WHEN I’M DOWN , TURN ME AROUND, YOU’RE MY FORTUNE I’LL NEVER GROW OLD. DON’T GIVE ME A MILLION DOLLARS, OR A FANCY SUIT TO WEAR. I NEED YOUR PROMISE, YOU’LL ALWAYS LOVE ME. SAY YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THERE I DON’T NEED ANY MORE TROUBLE, I’VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE. I DON’T REALLY WANT BUT NOTHING. NOTHING BUT THE BLUES. THERE’S A MIGHTY RIVER CALLED THE MISSISSIPPI. CUTS THE EAST OFF FROM THE WEST. DON’T EVER LEAVE ME MY DARLING, IF YOU GO I’LL HAVE LOST MY BEST. THAT’S WHY I’LL ALWAYS LOVE, COME RAIN, HAIL, SLEET OR SNOW. I’LL WRITE YOU LETTERS HERE IN THE MUSIC. SAY YOU WILL NEVER GO. I DON’T NEED ANY MORE TROUBLE, I’VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE. I DON’T REALLY WANT BUT NOTHING. NOTHING BUT THE BLUES. EVERYTIME THAT I THINK ABOUT YOU, IT JUST MAKES ME START TO SMILE. EVERYWHERE WE GO, IN OUR DESTINY, EVERY INCH OF EVERY MILE. I’M SO GLAD WE ARE TOGETHER, LIKE A BUTTERFLY HAS WINGS. YOU FILL ME SO WITH RICH EMOTIONS, I CANNOT HELP BUT SING. I DON’T NEED ANY MORE TROUBLE, I’VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE. I DON’T REALLY WANT BUT NOTHING. NOTHING BUT THE BLUES. E7 BLUES 9/109
