I don't know what to say.<BR/><BR/>You're on for the demo and I'll offer you a sweeter deal: I have an immensely talented young, funky cousin making his way in the music industry in LA. Let's swap cd's---I'll send you one of his for one of yours. How's that?<BR/><BR/>If you get a chance in the blogosphere check out my cousin at lmbass.com or lmbass.blogspot.com. He's a funky guy, lots of talent, plenty of charm. Kinda like me ;-)KHMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05370307704273976378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695488.post-1163009097186078572006-11-08T13:04:00.000-05:002006-11-08T13:04:00.000-05:00I don't think there was a record company involved,...I don't think there was a record company involved, except to sell the album. I'm pretty sure all the decisions were just Eric and John. Karstein and Walt, David Teegarden and Gary Gilmore represented the Tulsa bunch and did a great job as usual. Obviously I would have liked to be part of the sessions, even if it was only as coffee steward, but with Billy and Walt and Cale playing keyboards, there really wasn't any need for me there. The only time I ever met and played with Eric was in Dallas in 2004, so he doesn't know much about me or my playing. It's pretty unusual for a musician to still be learning and improving in his late sixties, so most of my peers don't realize how well I'm playing these days. As the fingers stiffen up, I have to play more simply, but in my case, this seems to be a good thing. There are at least nine piano/keyboard players in Tulsa who have better technique and more speed than I do, but the consensus of the public seems to be that I'm the best. I don't agree, but I'm thankful for their opinions. I would have my fingers crossed that I will get to do at least some of the gigs next year if John goes out on tour with Eric, but it's hard to play the piano with your fingers crossed. ;)<BR/>I really like the album. There are a few songs I expect to be listening to a lot and there's not a single one I don't like. Thanks for the kind words.<BR/>If you send me your mailing address (to rock@rockyfrisco.com) I'll send you my songwriter's demo CD (some of my originals).<BR/><BR/>-RockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
