    yes! That's probably where I'm heading anyway so I'd rather make it in the Music Biz on the way...

    Wer're talking big roight? Like Rhianna big, even though she's quite petite?

    Well, there isn't a devil, and it's debatable about the soul, so yeah - where do I sign?

    Sorry. I don't believe in the bogeyman. Besides, selling your soul to record execs is scary enough as it is.

    Danny's style reminds me a lot of Mr. Vai.

    BTW... I've been playing that little classical snippet from crossroads since I was 15. I like to play it after a practice session to make sure my fingers are still limber. I want to find the original piece so I can do a version that incorporates more of the whole piece but I always forget the name of it.

    Hi,
     
    I doubt it ...
     
    I've debunked and unmasked a devil more than once ... easily ... why? ... the turkey can not stand up to the light ... and neither can he stand up to the power of love!
     
    But if you want to give someone else all your money in exchange for some imaginary freedom ... go ahead ... that's like the ladies looking for a bigger shnoozle, or a guy looking for the larger ... and not looking at the person behind it!
     
    Gawddd ... sounds like some of the phishing scams on the internet already!

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

    Let me think here.... Eternity in heaven verses eternity in hell .... 

    In ratio form..... life of being big in the music business verses eternity in hell is but a short breath ..... Eternity is forever and time doesn't exist 


    Ya ... I am pretty sure I would pass on the hell deal 

    I am pretty content with my life now .. Plus I know where I am going to for eternity ... I pretty much all ready have it made with my wife and family and the music I do all ready ........I'll stay where I am at 

    Thanks

    I might sell...  but no one is making me any offers.  The mileage is too high.

    In addition to that ...a lot of the greatest musicians in the were or are some of the most miserable people ....with some deep issues ....


    Even tame groups like Brian Wilson from the beach boys ... Would you want what he went through for money and popularity ?

      First off the deal can never be solidified because the Devil can't keep your soul if you changed your mind and wanted to back out of the deal.

     I have long resigned myself to the fact that I play mostly for pleasure.I play publicly at least once a week and I am content right now.

     I think any ambitious and creative person can make their own reality without the devil....who needs him. NO!

    Come to think of the saying: I keep my eyes shut and sell, you keep yours wide open and buy.
