Hey, Jerry, I've already reported this guy to the director of the Bar Association. I play for the group often. And, the Association knows about his antics. I think he'll pay-big-time.
And if it takes a suit or other legal action to have him reviewed, I'm going to pay for it.

Hi Russ,
I'm surprised you lower your standards to play for these guys. But then again....it always helps to keep in touch for the good of mankind. I think that they will track this weasel down and let him know what life really is all about !!!!Hang in there Captain !!! Ray PS where does the CAPTAIN originate????

Yeah Russ I know. Sorry, my mistake. I meant the origin of "Captain". Was it The Mayflower,PT Boat, The canoe in Deliverance. Just curious. (some times called nosey). See Ya !!! Ray

Ray, I played on a patio 4 nights a week for 14 years, starting at 5:00 P.M. A local owner of a hat store brought me 4 Greek fishing hats. Soon, the owner, workers and customers began calling me "Captain". When I had to choose a name for the "Zone", it seeemed like a natural.
Now, the customers from the Merrick Inn still call me "captain".

It's been a month, and, sadly, I have some residual nerve damage in my left upper arm.
Just can't get the job done, yet on bass or left-handed bass on keys. It's a wait and see deal. I'm starting theraphy this week. On guitar, I have a loss of some feeling and am slower than I need to be.
I may end up-kicking and screaming-a full-time arranger player...at least until things improve. No problem holding chords with my left hand.
Please be careful out there. I was very optomistic that I would be 100% in a week. That didn't happen.

G'day Russ, Put on your favourite hat, throw your shoulders back, head up, go out and play your best, and to hell with the dregs of the world who have no respect for the rest of us Ray
