INSANELY irritating!!!

I found out something so awesome yesterday and it absolutely pains me I can't say anything to anyone about it.

My wife works as a Tax Accountant for a very large firm here in the area. She works from home and her desk is in our living room and behind my couch, where my butt is parked for most of the day.

Yesterday she's working on a client and she starts saying that this particular client is getting royalties from a bunch of big name bands. I'm like, "who?"
"major metal band 1"
"major artist 2"
"major artist 3"
"monsterously famous metal band 2"

"wait, who is this client?" - she tells me

obviously I can't look at them, and she can't discuss the details, but also, I. CAN'T. TELL. ANYONE.

Well pretty sure it's not me. My wife is in law. She knows all the local baddies. very baddies.
I get the big picture once in awhile, she needs to vent. no deets. But man, some people LOL

I'm making guesses in my mind....


Could be anyone, given the "area" we are dealing with....

I've been waiting a long time to hear stuff like this considering the wealth of artists and music industry people we have around here. But this one surprised even me.

Bwahaha!
There ain't nothing D/L about our very own Ramo!

I suspect we'll be hearing from him relatively soon. He's gonna have some things to share with the class within the coming months...

I liken it to a significant other having a business cleaning houses and they say non-chalantly, "I was at Les Paul's house today."

I have questions lol

But when it comes to posting things on the internet, you are right to keep your lips closed about such matters...

Nope. You can’t. You don’t need to.

Would you be willing to accept the notion that, regardless of who said client is, that person has no more intrinsic value than you?

Bummer, I think? Well I just made an assumption but I won't post a name as if I was right and the cat gets out of the bag it might cause some problems.

By the power of deduction: a monsterously major metal band that has to pay royalties? I'm looking in Metallica's general direction lol


As for the client.....Bob Seger?

 

[C-Grin]

Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Theodore "Ted" Logan.?

They have to pay royalties to a certain You Tube metal guitarist in West Virginia...
They stole his best 3 licks.

I remember when I was jamming with Michael Goode...
He said: " show me some licks you like to jam on..."
So I showed him some jazz chord progression (that a bass player and I made up) and we jammed...

Next thing I knew....my chord progression became a Chaka Khan song.
And my jazz song was playing all over the radio.
This is a true story.

The moral of the story: beware of keyboard players, sneaky little buggers they is.

Funny story. Last time I jammed with someone and wanted to show them some chord progressions they had to ask, "Dude, are you OD'ing on Valium right now?"
