If your initial post was like this there would never have been a problem. Like I wrote you before,my buzz on the Wackers was from my Elektra rep in retail.He gave me a promo of your first lp and said that it was my kind of group.Elektra had a high percentage of winners and I took it seriously.That is what this entire deal is about.Trying to find great music. My retail days way behind me ,no more on mailing lists,I need the help of a group like Audities to seek out new tunes.And what a help they have been. > Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 07:26:20 -0500 > From: segarini@rogers.com > Subject: Re: Unforeseen Consequences > To: audities@smoe.org > > We were mentioned in the book, a paragraph was named after one of my albums, a demo track is included on the CD, and Scott Carl spoke nicely of a Wackers track he liked. > I have no problem with 'Shake Some Action' at all. It's a fine piece of work that must have consumed a lot of time and effort on Bruce and John's behalf.Though I disagree with some of the choices and statements in the book, it's a good read, and comes from some very dedicated people.
