Hello Danny,
I’ve just recently discovered your music and your blog and I am very glad that I did. You are a wellspring of inspiration.
Reading your post on being an opening act, this part jumped out: "if you hired a guitar player to back you up, and at the jobsite you find she's passing her own demo cd out and hitting everyone up for a gig, fire her"
Do you have any advice for disentangling yourself from situations or associations that aren't compatible with your path without being a jackass or creating toxic animosity? Sometimes avoiding the conflict of firing someone or refusing a collaboration or unsolicited help can get you off-track for a while, yet I think people new to music can often feel like we're being ungracious when having to say "no" to people.
Thanks!
Nick

man shucks i don't really know what to say too much. if you just spend your time doing what you like/want to do, your attention kinda waters the plants of your ideas. sometimes you have to move on. it might not be necessary to micromanage and things. i never have liked that vibe, and i don't do it to other people, and don't like it when folks do that to me i suppose.
Danny,
I'm using Tabledit to tab out "Saludamas a Tejas" I switched it from 4/4 to 2/4 and I think that helped. I think I'm on the right track but I'd like to e-mail you a copy to see what you think. it's my first Tabledit so muy despacio. Is there somewhere I can e-mail you an atttachment. If you'd rather not post your address publicly my e-mail is DogLindsay@Gmail.com . Yes "Dog" not Doug. Gracias para todos
