On The Same Page.

Before I delve into this post I'm going to make an apology publicly:
In my last post I wrote about problems that I felt weren't being dealt with by our band. I should have been better about speaking up,even if I were wrong.
I must acknowledge that a great many things are done and have been done on my behalf and that of the band.
I will say that playing music is on the part of any band often a thankless job, and that sometimes people in a band are more often than not, or more often than they realize on the same page.
Michael Lipton and I occasionally disagree about things, some important, some not so important but I feel and have always felt that he does to the best of his ability put forth a great effort to move the Carpenter Ants forward in one body.
A job that he rarely gets paid for and a job that he even more rarely gets thanked for.
First my apology: Mike I'm sorry if the things that I said have in any way caused you any embarrassment or anguish, you know me better, it's never my intention to hurt, though my methods don't always bear that out.
To my other band mates the same apology applies to you as well, but understand that the efforts by one person must done by us all.
We must duplicate the efforts in any way possible within our means.
My true intention is for us to get to the top together; the thought of me going on in life without you is more frightening to me and I want us to all be together, for as long as Allah permits.
It was pointed out that probably airing these things out in this type of forum isn't a good idea. I have mixed emotions about that: if it's done maliciously then it really isn't good, if it stirs up healthy debate, that may be better, but only if all means to communicate were expended and clearly mine were not.
Lastly for Michael, I want you to share this load with us, teach us what to do and how to do it, and I'll teach and show you all how to do what you think that I do best.

Support Live music today, tomorrow and always.
