Haha!

I wasn't trying to convince you to become a client, Gary. I was simply making a counterpoint to a misconception. :) She's not. She was trained by Tom Jackson, whom many consider to be the best live show producer in the world. I'm probably going to step back from this conversation for a...

Whoever said he was "fired"? He went his own way because he had a wife and two kids and was tired of being on the road for 200+ days a year. They are still in close contact.

I think this is where there is a great deal of misunderstanding. I don't work exclusively with artists who are of the "Americal Idol/pop tart" aesthetic. One of my clients is an incredible acoustic blues band out of Virginia made up of four men. I think the youngest of the bunch is maybe in...

Wow. Such venom! Its okay, though. I know I'm a bit of an acquired taste. So, I'm Wade Sutton, the author of the article this whole thread is about. I noticed a small surge in traffic coming from this page and had a few minutes so I came to check out what was being said (I usually try to...
