Guess What? J. Michael Farley

Lippoland executive J. Michael Farley moves to the beat of a different drum when it comes to relaxing from a hectic day's work.

No leisurely golf matchers or a stroll in the park for the 53- year-old executive. Instead, Farley takes time out to sing and play guitar in energetic jam sessions at Elvis, the newly-opened eatery in the Arthaloka Building on Jl. Sudirman, every Wednesday night.

Farley, a four-year resident of Indonesia, says his interest in music goes back to his teenage years in Lubbock, Texas.

"I started playing in a band when I was 18 years old and I've continued on and off for 35 years. I can get out and meet people and have some fun doing it," said Farley.

Last Wednesday night, Farley and his jam session mates began their evening with some Elvis Presley's tunes like Jail House Rock to the Beatles's hits such as I Saw Her Standing There.

We want people to bring along an instrument if they have one or play one of ours, choose their favorite rock tunes and join us up on stage, he added.

"A jam session once a week is enough for me," said Farley. (raw)
