I just saw you lurking on the thread about fair compensation for musicians. Why don't you post there and let us know more about yourself, instead of always posting (cryptic) ads and being a thorn in our backsides?
speaking just for myself....when i'm looking for players, or checking out someone looking to fill a spot, i always offer up complete transparency. i don't play Secret Agent Man ( the role...not the song) because i'm not ashamed of who i am.....the music i play...or how i play it. and speaking for myself ....i don't waste time w anyone who isn't 100% straight up forthcoming along the same lines.
the straight shooters on this site ALL offer up their music and videos. not sharing music..... are you kidding???? on a MUSIC site?????
for me...that's a red flag and a cue to take a pass. When someone goes that shadowy route, it makes me wonder what's behind their need to remain anonymous and in the shadows.....did they burn people in the past that they're hiding from...did they skip out on paying their child support....screwed musicians out of their bread....etc.
Ready/Memphis.....this isn't meant as a slam against you. I'm simply following up on the points raised in Schmed's previous post. If you have a problem w that....live w it, cos this is a DISCUSSION board.....as Schmed pointed out...it's not a place for your classified ads. and if you DO place an "ad" here, understand that there WILL be conversation here on this discussion board.
Perhaps you have skills...perhaps not. But who knows when you're not willing to share your music, a video, or even a photo of yourself w anyone here. Me...I have to be suspicious of the cloak and dagger, mysterioso way you come across.
