        If one "hires" a person or business then they must monitor the
        situation to ensure the goods or services are satisfactory. If
not
        by implication the message conveyed is everything is cool. Good
        Faith? ha ha

        The band is looking else where? I thought you said the promoters
        are refusing to sign the contracts.

        Often times when a subordinate screws up its the one at the
        top that also has to take the fall. Surely you agree that things
        could be improved. Management is where the blame falls.
        However, a reductionist would also point out that its Dave
        band and only he hires and fires.

        I hear from time to time DS is busy with other things, what
        could they be. Maybe HW needs a full time manager.

        This new album should be promoted, pushed and given to anybody
associated with a newspaper, magazine or radio station for free.
        With this new direction the new album may be the break through
        to a new group of fans. Any what goes hand-in-hand with a new
        album? A tour. Both should be promoted at the same time. Whats
        the old saying "you've got to spend money to make money".
