        <description><![CDATA[A long time involved in the music business and I remain active to this day.  Fortunately I can play and perform a bit but unfortunately a composer, song writer, lyrisist I am not.  I'm OK at the A&amp;R thing so I just admire and marvel over those of you gifted with he ability to write the stuff. Music has been good to me and I have kept in perspective as the years have past and the opportunities for the younger and more gifted are no longer within my grasp.  I do a lot of fun work with a World Class group of musicians and vocalists that tolerate my playing abilities.  For the past 15 years I have developed playing techniques to accomadate the use of guitar synth's {It's not so easy playing horns and strings and things when you think like a guitar player}.    Keep in mind the recordings are all live with mistakes and flubbs included.  We do not use sequencers every thing you hear is played by a person in real time.  Although we do the copy things we make every tune we do our own from an A&amp;R point of view.   I don't have enough or adequate words for the encouragement to all of you out there that make your own music so please allow me to just tip my hat in appreciation.  ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Spent a few hours roaming this site.&amp;nbsp; I find it a bit disturbing that the reviews are sometimes less than honest.&amp;nbsp; Granted there are many good, excellent, and great artists&amp;nbsp;as well as&amp;nbsp;material to be found, however all the glowiung reviews on the mediocre and just plain awful stuff is a bit hard to swallow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Music business is a cruel and cold business and I very much appreciate all the positive support you all give each other. (As it should be) but in my minds eye appropriately worded constructive criticism would provide a platform to broaden the artist's horizons and&amp;nbsp;development if in fact it was intended only as a suggestion or reccomendation for improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been a performing artist for more years than I care to mention and I will offer this.&amp;nbsp; I learned more and improved as a player when I payed attention to the less than glowing reviews I received.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aa a reviewer with no known credentials never give a bad review to berate or demean a fellow artist but rather suggest things that might stimulate the artist to explore alternatives.&amp;nbsp; A critical review is not a bad review but it&amp;nbsp;should be an honest one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just my thoughts for all you aspiring artists.&amp;nbsp; Keep up the good work I have listened to a bunch of excellent material and talents across so may genre's.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>
