VBTC/BOVINE/EBMM NEWS AKA As The World Turns

[fogman]

Jack & Steve,

It's one thing that you won't be selling the EBMM line anymore, but it would be another if you did not contribute to this forum. I hope you both will still have a presence here. You would be greatly missed if you'd left.
We still need pics of tongues on basses and whatnot!!!

Stevo, I was wondering why I didn't see any Dallas pics of you? I guess this explains it.

I wish you guys the best!

Steve , I hope you been eating some samiches . You was looking lean in those School of Bass pics .... and not a good kind of lean.

You gotta look after youself .

We need to nail down specifics for Saturday.

I'm not into "specifics" man...I'll leave here round noon (after I figure out how to fit the bass in the Mercedes) and head on down south and hit town around 2:00ish and we all have cell phones right?? Just meet up at Rainbow Music or something. I want to dig up Harvey Books' number and maybe visit with him a bit and if you don't know who that is then do your homework.

It's one thing that you won't be selling the EBMM line anymore

That's not firmed up one way or another yet guys. BP and I are first and foremost friends and I got my panties in a bunch a few weeks ago because he hit me straight upside the head with "Tough Love ala Biffenheimer" and let me tell you something, the man don't pull no punches capeche'?? The substance I was abusing this time around is no lightweight and is quite possibly the worst actor there is on the streets today because it took me to my knees right out of the gate then kicked my ass for two month solid and the result was the zombie that was spotted lurking around in the shadows of SOB after it got dark out ok?

I'm just now starting to snap to after detoxing myself at home for the past 17 days now and ticking. This is the part that I was cringing about coming clean on publicly...yes, there was an illegal substance involved. I started using it so I could stay up longer and get more work done and it very quickly went to me staying up without sleeping or eating for as long as 7-8 days at a time and getting even less work done. So,do we all know what I'm talking about here without saying it and self incriminating myself on a public forum? What are windows made out of that rhymes with ass?

 

[oddjob]

Steve, all things aside, I am just glad you are getting things "righted." Best wishes in everything (take care of yourself and everything else will follow)!

 

[dhuffguitars]

Steve, I know you have fought various demons in the past and made it through them and I wish you the best with this one as well.

 

[Psycho Ward]

Damn Steve, I didn't know any of this, call me bro! You've been there for me, call me!

 

[tkarter]

Steve don't let things kill you unless you want them to.

Call me any time.

Kudos on stopping that crazy train, Dude. Comfort yourself somewhat with the knowledge that not everyone could have done that. You know, when you think about it, you and Keith Richards are going to be the last two geezers on earth chunking cock-a-roaches at one another.

Love ya, man.

 

[Bill]

Holy crap! Well, I wish all of you folks the best. Steve-o, take care of yourself, man. Your health has to come first.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Thanks guys...it really feels so much better now that I've made this admission public. It's certainly not something to be proud of but somebody once told me that "You can't save your face and your ass at the same time." and I guess there's a lot of truth to that. This one particular substance was the worst I've ever done in my life and I've done them all every which way but loose in my 35 year long history of substance abuse issues. This one truly knows no socio-economic bounds and is running rampant in our society like a hot knife through butter. So much so I would bet my Bongo that I'm not the only one reading or posting here who is currently doing battle with it right now as we speak so if any of you others want to talk about it pm me ok?

BP and I had a good talk this evening and we agreed to just have a little "time out" and let the current outstanding 50 or so instruments VBTC currently has on order run through the system and I will use that time to focus on restoring my physical health, reorganizing VBTC to opertate on a more profitable level while at the same time a slower pace and we'll revisit things after the DD's are all delivered to you guys but regardless of whether or not we pick things back up business wise we both agreed that we will keep our personal friendship intact no matter what and that's what really matters here isn't it??

 

[Bill]

Well said!!

 

[82Daion]

Glad to hear that you got through this OK, Steve.

Hope that everything starts heading back to normal soon, although it looks like you have the groundwork in place for that.

 

[Aussie Mark]

Steebo, you know we're all here for you and would love you to stick around.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Well said!!

Thanks...I borrowed that from one of the voices in my head which I am told will be with me for up to 6 months. I also hear these ripping guitar solos in my right ear while the voices and shadow people generally visit me from the left side,,,,fun drug huh??

 

[Lazybite]

Think I know what you are on about steve... had a few minor battles myself.. nothing like what you are going through by the sounds of things though. Best of luck with it all...

Now I know what my last sound man was on.

 

[hankSRay]

[mrpackerguy]
