Wow....
Thanks for that one K. It was awesome.

Thankyou American Idol for bringing us this Kodak moment.

and

Thankyou X Factor for bringing us Josh Krajcik, I will be really interesting to see what his new CD will be like and if he gives the band members headline credit.

or

He will be just another "I'm the asshole out front and the rest of you asshole's stand behind me.

RG, I don't think he will have any sayso regarding anything on
the first album.[/b]

Vinces guitar solo is as Sweet a sound as I have heard.[/b]

Not giving band members credit is high on my list for quitting a band. I've done it a number of times. When people ask me why I quit I never tell them the reason why. Let them figure it out....

Not getting enough credit is the reason you quit
most bands? If you'd let this be known when you
audition we could go ahead and pass on you, and
that way save us both some troubles.

A player doesn't need credit, come out and rock
their azz off and people will notice.

I think you should always tell someone why your
quitting the band, how they ever gonna change,
if you don't. I may be a lot of things but, you'll
always know where you stand with me cause I'll
tell you, there's no secret.

If only we could join bands the same way...just show up one day , but don't tell em why... lol! If that dont start a reputation... I dunno what will...

You always introduce the whole band and talk it up a little between sets.

And anyone that is stupid enough to think they can sound good without the help of their band is just a plain moron.

Open mic night is perfect for all you 1 man show cretins.
You'll wake up right quickly from that delirium.

Paperdog, you don't know how right you are.
Show up and start playing, there's lot of places
this works.

Mr Scott, the one man act is total freedom in
music, if you need help hire some players, but
you still control the show. Somebody's got to
Introducing the band is so tired anymore, the last
bar band I was in (about a year and a half ago)
played at a beer company event at the bar, they
made signs with our picture on it and our names,
they were printed on about 1/4 inch corrugated
plastic board. We took them all after the show,
and hung them up every place we played after that.

Hey Klugmo, Johnny Mathis plays here in
Branson pretty regular. I know he did a
weekend here before Christmas.

Music is a team sport, my friend.

It only gets f*cked up when 1 person thinks "they are the show".

I love stars, don't know any and don't care to.
I also wouldn't want to play with one, must be a bitch to keep it tight and sounding like you want it to.


Hell I am sick of getting owned by the very young and the very old.
Truth is there is always someone better and someone worse than you.

I always thank whoever I was playing with when I get spanked, regardless.

Then I go home and make a dart board with their picture in it.

Always better to be a jackass in private than in public. (wink)

Hey Mr Scott I don't play sports, I run, kind of a
loner sport. Music is becoming a way of life for me.

Music has always been a one man show, and it only
gets real good, when the band realizes the 1 man
is the show.

I know a couple of stars, there has beens, but I've
never been. I bet it is tuff keeping it tight, and getting
the sound you want, practice, practice, practice

I haven't met anybody better than me, but I'm looking

Lynard, do what you do well.

It's my belief that cohesion among people/musicians of a like mindset is MUCH better than not.

And you may want to invest in stocks because the solo act is not going to bring you riches. It might actually bring you pain and humiliation if you play like Miley Cyrus covering Nirvana.

It's a team sport. You gotta get your team somewhere. And your team is as important or more important than you are.

The first time your support line starts sucking it up on stage, you know what I am referring to.

If not, I wish you well. You'd be the 1 in a 1,000,000,000.

Ever hear "no man is an island"?

"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." John Donne 1572-1631

I am a rock
I am a island
And a rock feels no pain
And a island never cries
