Dear Larry,

I read the Sorcha Dorcha history with interest and it reminds me so much of many experiences I have had in bands over many years. I feel absolutely privileged now to play in two bands (I quit a third recently because of S.D.-type experiences) that have absolutely no musical or personality problems at all after 25-odd years of giving my own money away, providing and operating a lot of the equipment including mixing, suffering under overbearing egotists, being blamed for everything that went wrong and carrying, setting up and breaking down heavy equipment while others sit watching as if they were somehow not part of the band during those proceedings.

Anybody who knows me will confirm that I am not a particularly difficult person.

Not all of it is bad. I did a fill in slot in another band last year for a missing musician and was delighted to get a handy wad of notes some nine months later when I next saw the band leader (as I had completely forgotten about it and considered it doing some friends in need a favour!)

Keep up the good work brother, band or multitracked...I don't mind!

Peace

moo (Richard)
