Gotta put this out there...when I offer to help a band out, I do it because I believe in helping fellow musicians get as far as I can help them go. I dont promise miracles, but I do all I can, by putting the word out to venues and bar owners that i know and have played...and I even set up shows and invite them to join me and do a set. And usually when I do that, I make sure they get paid and I dont take a single penny for myself. I will even help them get studio time and front them the starter cash for the first session, with the understanding that they will pay me back. I believe in paying it forward, all good things beget good things... most people that know me and musicians that have indeed jammed shows with me, know, I am the real deal. No false front or pretense...what you see really is what you get. Id just like to let one band in particular know...without calling names, they know who they are, I am not worried about the money I put up front at the studio for you, its the attitude and the way you went about things that has truly disheartened me towards you. Myself and the truly awesome friend whos studio we were in were stunned by the way it seemed to be an inconvenience to you for you to be there and how truly unhappy you seemed. I have never experienced such a thing...ever. And when we tried to joke and cheer you up to lighten the mood in the room, we were met with disdain....and honestly I felt judged for being myself. But ya know what...I drink beer...I tell crude jokes and I sing dirty limericks, whole hearted and with fervor, because I am who I am and not ashamed to be me or present myself as I am.No matter where I am. I dont need or seek anybodies approval. Or permission to be myself. I only wanted to help you get the best CD made by one of the best recording engineers I know, and nothing more. I did what I promised to do. had you do a show with me , no matter how much you said no one would like you...I also bragged and praised on your talents to everyone. No matter how much you chose to be glum and naysayers. I believed in you,.But, to try and smear my name in the music community was a very bad move....I aint no angel by any means, never claimed to be, but everyone that knows me also knows that about me. And to think word wouldnt get back to me, well....I have been around a while and made more friends in the music community than I have anywhere else in my life. I honestly liked you and believed in your music and talent,but I will not let negative light invade my sunny world. I have one piece of advice for you tho, Before you point a finger and say bad things about someone..make sure yer own hands are squeaky clean...only been one perfect person I ever heard of, and I dont recall hearing any thing about anybody else walking on water around here. I wish you well on your journey, and you keep anything I invested in you. karma has a way of making things right. I will continue to help bands and musicians out, nothing will ever change that about me, and I will still help every single one of my musician friends in any endeavor they need help with. And I want nothing in return. Seeing my friends play and sing their songs and being happy is all I need. All I want is to share music every where it can be shared. And laughter...a day without laughter and music is a day wasted to me.
