: Hey Boyd! At first I didn't understand what you were asking, but now I do.
: Sorry for not explaining about the vids website. I put it up but it was
only
: supposed to be seen by his friends in New York originally, then I posted
the
: link to it in the NewsGroup. I can see how it 'could' be confusing, but I
: wanted it to be "surprise" when his friends atarted to email him saying "I
: didn't know you played like that" and stuff, but the thing is that not a
: single person
: emailed him to say a word about it. I know there is something strange
about
: it all, but he'd never have posted the vids himself, so I did it for him.
:
: Someone suggested "something sinister" might be going on coz I never knew
he
: played all those years ago. How close they came to the truth, they will
: never know! I don't hate my dad or even dislike him, but I never saw him
: when I was a kid as he split from us for another woman when I was only in
: junior school. He got married again and had what he calls his "second
: family" and since he showed up again just a few years back, we are all
: suppose to act like nothing ever happened. Well, something sure as hell
: 'did' happen. I now have a son of my own and he is getting all the
attention
: that I never got from my own dad. BTW, I am NOT jealous or angry in any
way,
: just a son who was dumped along the way. He's a weird guy my dad, but I
: don't know his past at all. It has been hinted at to me by the odd friend
of
: his that he DID play in bands in New York a while back, but I can't find
: anyone to give me the facts. He certainly wont. He says he's never had any
: lessons in his life...'really?! I find that very hard to believe for a
: start. He also refuses to talk about his past and laughs when I ask if he
: played in any
: bands. I am sure he did though. He once gave me an electric guitar and I
: still have it, and old beat-up Les Paul which I play some chords on and
pick
: a bit, mostly country-rock stuff, but I'd loved to have had him around
: to show me how to play differently. I love mynew half-bro and sis very
much,
: I mean it ain't their fault what he did. I have a younger sister of my own
: and she won't even talk to him, so I guess I at least have made more of an
: effort to talk to him.
:
: Hey guys....'please do NOT email him any of this stuff I have posted here!
: He is nice enough, but he does have another side to him, so keep this
: strictly in the NG. Guess you all know his email address, but I am pretty
: sure that nobody could be as heartless as to back-stab me. I hope I'm
right.
:
: Boyd, I know you meant well, but sometimes being a detective can lead you
: into places where there is a lot more going on than you'd like to know
: about. You're a cool guy, but lighten up a little, and NO, I don't blame
you
: for the confusion. I take all the blame for that one my friend.
:
: Cheers.

: C.C. (Jim).
