I like the fact that as late comer to playing gigs 2 years ago at 52 years of age I have learned more here in that time than I probably could have in 5 years by myself. I've a friend of 30 plus years who is a one man band. We've done everything from work for the same company, run road races, played racquet ball, travelled with our families. Despite that long term friendship he has not been willing to give me many of tips about the music business and equipment as I have got here from members.


I've met some good people that I've have had personal contact with as well. Tony Mads being one of them, he lives just down the road about 10 miles from where I live, it's unlikely I would have met him otherwise

Scott Yee who has been of great help with his tips and file sharing for my music pad pro. Gary Diamond for a couple of phone calls for his input on products I was interested in and Donny Pesce for some valuable tips.

I like the fact that very successful pros are very willing to share what they know.

I don't like some of the ball busting that goes on between folks. By nature I'm not a ball buster and as a former career sales rep I always strived to get along with everyone despite the fact I'm may have different views on matters.
