Home Insurance For Musical Instruments

Behind the Music, Behind the Bench: Meet Judge Jay Stewart

Enjoy The Ride is an infectious collection of 10 soul-simmering compositions infused with the genius of Jason Miles and Jay Stewart. Their excellence as composers/producer/arranger comes through the songs performed by such amazing musicians as bassist Neil Jason, drummer Brian Dunne, saxophonist David Mann, conguero Jimmy Bralower, trumpeters Cindy Bradley and Barry Danielian. Jason Miles’ accomplished playing on electric piano and Hammond B3 organ and Jay Stewart’s finesse on electric and acoustic guitars truly bring the songs alive.

We recently caught up with Judge Stewart to discuss his judicial and musical careers. Here’s the (lightly edited and condensed) write-up of our interview.

Can you tell us a bit about your legal career and your path to the bench?

After graduating from Mercer Law in 1991, I returned to my hometown of Claxton, Georgia, a small community approximately forty-five minutes west of Savannah. I had accepted a position as an associate with an attorney who was a sole practitioner up until that time. He had established a substantial plaintiff’s personal injury practice and was in need of someone to handle the general practice areas, like family law, criminal defense, personal injury, and real estate transactions. I continued there until I opened my own office in Claxton in 1996, where I continued in these same areas. I spent a substantial part of my time in litigation immediately upon graduation and continued to do so.

In 2001, I became a partner in Brown, Rountree & Stewart PC, in Statesboro, Georgia. I remained there until I was elected to the Superior Court bench in November 2006, where I have served since January 2007.

And can you tell us more about your music career — have you always been musically inclined?

I suppose I have always been musically inclined. I started playing guitar at the age of six. My father plays so there was always a guitar in our home. I learned by watching him and playing the songs that I heard on the family turntable and radio. I was fortunate in that I was introduced to a legendary fingerstyle jazz guitarist named Buddy Owens when I was very young. Buddy Owens introduced me to advanced chord theory and the unique right-hand technique often associated with Chet Atkins. I also discovered many popular guitarists whose styles I began to emulate, including Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, and Larry Carlton.

What Answers To Questions For A Home Insurance Price Quote Will ...

Lets face it, finding the best home insurance price quote can be an aggravating task if you’re not fully prepared with answers to the common questions that most insurance companies will ask. This article outlines the questions that an insurance agent will ask you when you’re requesting quotes for home insurance. Having this information handy will make finding house insurance easier and save you valuable time.

The most obvious question that will be asked first deals with your address information. The home insurance agent will need your street address as well as the state, city and zip code. This information will be used as the starting point for all future questions.

A normal question deals with the approximate location of your home in relation to the nearest fire hydrant. You can also be expected to have to know how far the nearest fire department is from your house. The insurer will want to know if you have a fire alarm system and if so what type of system.

Additional questions will focus on whether or not anyone living in the house smokes and if your building has an internal sprinkler system. Make sure you know if you have a burglar alarm and what type of alarm it is because that question will come up. You might be asked if you live in a gated community and if you have a dog as a pet. If you do own a dog then the insurance provider will want to know the breed.

You can be assured that you will be asked how old you are and if the answer is over 55 expect a follow up question on whether or not you are retired. The insurance company will expect that you already have some form of homeowners insurance with another company so be prepared to answer that question along with if you have car insurance, if so – with what company and for how long. Don’t be alarmed by such questions, as they are routine when trying to determine a home insurance price quote.

If you’ve made any insurance claims within the last 3 years then the home insurance provider will want to know the claim amount and the reason for initiating the insurance claim. You will also be expected to truthfully answer if you have ever had an insurance policy cancelled or non-renewed.
