Oh, c’mon John, I have no trouble at all with simplicity and happen to love the blues, there is a beauty in it that appeals to me very much and you’d be really smart to leave this alone now or it won’t go well.

Everyone needs to get this, here and now, especially your newest, bestest bud that meat head BillW

Right from the start of this, --other than calling your submission the way I saw it, my only problem has been with you challenging my judgment by flaunting phony credentials. It is this simple for me, -your tune is what it is! You don’t seem to be and you got called out on it!

How many emails and phone calls to fellow musicians in Cornwall do you think it takes to get the “whole” scoop on your dismal track record over the last 4 years dude?

I’m really gonna resist the urge to go into detail here because I was asked not to by some pretty decent folks, but in my defense it was confirmed 3 ways that you are about as much an accomplished drummer / instructor as you are a shuttle pilot. Yes you can rip off a pretty good Ringo as well as the rest of us when the drummer goes for a pee but the notion of you putting on master classes for, even, the local guys evoked sustained laughter.

We probably should leave it there before I break a promise.

BTW. I listened to “You’re Gone”. It’s morbid and depressing to the point that if you weren’t on Zoloft before you listened, you’d need it after. You do have some production shit going on that’s useful. Keep it up!
