Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Let's get one thing straight.  We all have different theories and ideals.
Personally I am not doing this as a hobby, I do it as a profession.
Different people have different motives.  No I don't have to participate in
the contest.  But I am expressing my opinion about it, if that's ok with
you....   I am in the music business because I love music.  And I love
playing music.    But I've been screwed far too many times to just give
free-reign access to my music without taking credit for it.  It's just the
way I feel.  I understand if you dissagree.  I used to be the same way.  And
if you think my music sucks, I would like you to know that it's MY music you
think sucks so you don't make the mistake of listening to it again.

Shameful was maybe the wrong word to use before.    But would a painter
typically exhibit somthing without a name at least?  I doubt it.

Anyway, I hope you can come to understand my point of view.  I am sorry to
be the only person that apparently has somthing to cry about in this group
and it really is not that big of a deal.  I just thought I'd bring it up...
And now that everyone thinks i'm a capitalistic pig, maybe it would be best
if i didn't put my name on my music ;)
