I wish to thank everyone for chiming in on this. Feel like I got a thousand dutch uncles.

I think it cliched it when he asked me if I wanted to collaborate with a grammy winning album. I mean up to that point I was willin to listen to what he had to say. I figured with a very talented Philadelphia producer/engineer, I can do a 10 song multi-insttrumental high quality production CD for about 6-7 thousand. In Fact you all have made it more clear to me that that's where I need to go. I really appreciate all the wealth of experience you all funneled my way, it was valuable and I am grateful.

Regards....Paul

PS I am gonna reply to him and ask him what songs he liked.
