Why doesn't Donny just buy one of EVERYTHING (after all, he is so heavily booked, I'm sure he could afford it!) and go out with a different arranger every night...?
THERE'S your permanent cure for boredom, eh?!
What worries me is that anybody takes anything he says seriously at all, ESPECIALLY his so called 'opinion' about any arrangers, which he doles out liberally every chance he gets... Why should we be worried? Because every opinion he holds, both good and bad about ANY arranger will change 180º as soon as he either acquires it or sells it... and he has gone through every arranger there is, short of the T3 (which will be next...
).
If an opinion is so easily completely reversed, what value did it have in the first place? It isn't an 'opinion'...
It's a 'whim', a 'fancy', a 'delusion'...
If it takes a matter of a couple of weeks to completely reverse your first opinion, what worth is that opinion to anyone..? Ask Donny what he likes today and why, be prepared to listen to him completely reverse it tomorrow. Now, I don't know about you, but how can that be of ANY use to anyone, ever?
What is sad is that apparently, Donny has the skills to entertain and be well booked. But does he post anything much about that (other than to self aggrandize?). To be honest, no, not much. But he posts CONSTANTLY about equipment, how good his current arranger is, how bad everything else is (until he buys it!)....
If he really wanted to be useful on this forum, why not give the obviously capricious equipment reviews a break for a while, and just concentrate on talking about MUSIC, playing it, selling it, repertoire, hats, whatever...?
ANYTHING but an arranger review. Because I for one don't need to know how good his current arranger is, and how bad all the others are... I've heard it until I'm sick to death of it!
