That's exactly what good ole CT and Dog would like you to do... Just
walk away.
You see it must be certain that CT in his musical career has never
played cover songs and god forbid any band he may have been in tried
to play them exactly like the record. IMHO any musician that rags on
another musician for his musical ability or talent is not much of a
human being.
Of course you're welcome to kiss my ass, but before doing so you should
really re-read my email.

My only point was that ETAs are excessively abused here, and it's not a
pleasant place for them to hang out. And why would anyone wish that
kind of abuse on a guy who seems like he's pretty nice?

On second thought, however, I'd say as long as he filters a few of the
more rabid ETA-haters, he might have an ok time of it.

In the email you rant about, I go on to give my personal opinion on
ETAs, which is... and I quote... "Myself, I really don't give two hoots
about ETAs".

Meaning... I'm pretty live and let live about it. If you want to do it,
fine. Doesn't bother me.

Plenty of people out there doing plenty of types of music I don't like.
I just change the channel.

Many would say yes, others not so much.

I'm in an all-acoustic project, working on my second solo CD for Fall
release, doing all the backup playing for a local folk artist's CD, and
doing some pick-up soundtrack work for educational clips. The last is
really fun because I get to write orchestral arrangments instead of just
the usual "bass, drums, guitar, vocals".

Still haven't found a way to make a living at it, but I'm still working
on it.

I never knew anyone could practice sex, wouldn't that be what masturbation is
for?
Never hurts to practice, maybe you'll get it right.

some inflatable love...

I went to Memphis about ten years ago and went into the Lansky Brothers shop where Elvis bought his clothes from the 50's until almost his death. Bernard Lansky (who was the owner and dressed Elvis his entire life) was in there working that day. I had him personally pick out three shirts for me and talked to him for well over an hour during that time. He had many photos of himself with Elvis in his shop and I noticed Elvis wasn't any taller than me when I compared myself next to Bernard with the photos on the wall. I am right at 5'10 and I asked Bernard how tall Elvis really was and he said, "Boy, Elvis wasn't much taller than you" I said, " I thought he was 6 ft tall" and Bernard said, "Heck boy, Elvis wasn't no 6 ft tall, he was 5"11 on a good day," So there you have it from a man who dressed him and measured him personally for over 20 years.
