No Derek you got it completely wrong. If you have followed my postings you will know what I have done and for how long. I know nothing about you except for your very poor Soundclick. You say you have to play around with sound levels well try doing it on your soundclick stuff. Sheesh. In soundclick there is bad, woeful and yours. Your accent is so thick and nasally I would suggest counting your thumbs. There must be a lot of inbreeding in Oregon. Oh and you want to chew me up. You are cannibals as well. You are self taught well you should have got a better teacher. You have CDs and can press play. Wow some achievement for an Oregon boy. Och I will stop this nonesense I am getting bored. I will finally put you out of your misery. I have been in the industry for over forty years most of it as a pro singer mostly in bands but also solo cabaret. I have played with some top bands and also in the early years been road crew for some big international names so I do know a little about sound equipment. Yes I have performed in some big stadiums and have some stuff on my walls. I play keyboards to a moderate level a bit of bass and a bit of blues harp. I have written many songs poems and scripts but cannot publish much on open forums due to legal and copyright issues. The same applies to performances. Sorry you do not like my Soundclick rough demo stuff. But I do not really care much about what you think. Re talent in your pinky NO. Dream On. By the way I recorded a song by that name look it up. You may want to guess which band I was with.
If you ever become a big dog I will put on your leash, muzzle you and take you outside so you do not wet the floor. NUFF SAID Cheers JIM
