I got on Gold City's bus to talk to Tim Riley. The Kingsmen were on stage singing and the bus was parked directly behind stage with only a commercial garage roll up door separating the stage and the bus. Tim's ear monitor and Ray Dean's ear monitor was on the same frequency. I asked Tim what he was doing, and he said, "I was just sitting here listening to how bad Ray Dean was missing his notes and pitches." Tim kind of chuckled as he said it. #29 I remember a few years ago being on a program with the Kingsmen and Gold City. I got on Gold City’s bus to talk to Tim Riley.

Matthew- Did you low ball them on an offer?? If you are paying a fair sum make offers to many of the top groups and GIVE THEM a deadline. You might be surprised who ya GET for WHAT!! Make multiple offers to multiple groups and disclose that you are doing so with a contingency that the offer will be withdrawn automatically once you have reached a satisfactory arraignment with any other performer(s). If you wanna see WHO really wants to work make the offers and state whom ever sends back an approved offer first with NO CHANGES will prevail. Have corp sponsor, sell a book or have REALLY DEEP POCKETS cause if it is a ticketed event you CAN LOOSE your ass!! #4 Soli Deo Gloria- What performers or groups are your fav??

So far, the process has taken months. My first email was April of this year, then I heard again in September, saying I would have an answer in October. No answer yet. I emailed again, and that was 2 weeks ago. I can see on their schedule that they are booked within 2 hr drive of my church. Maybe that's my answer. I would appreciate hearing it from the agency direct. #25, Nashville Phil, thanks for the reply. So far, the process has taken months.

What amazed me is how close the bass singer overdub sounds like Ray Dean. I saw this video a few months ago also. What amazed me is how close the bass singer overdub sounds like Ray Dean.

Seems strange to me that they are not getting a Contract prepared. The folks that I know in the Talent Agency business are generally good people. Perhaps they are trying to build an Itinerary that can include your date. Stay calm, it's still early... #23 Matthew,

I saw it on youtube a few months ago, and watched it every night for about a week, and nearly soiled myself each time. Some people take it too seriously, and are offended. Oh well.

I'm trying to book a prominent group for 2010, in the fall, and am having a heck of a time getting a response from the booking agency. They have responded a few times, weeks go by inbetween, but nothing ever gets decided, and they don't let me know if it can happen...is this normal?? I realize my little booking is one little booking, but isn't it important to at least try to communicate properly with "customers"?? I realize this is off topic, but I wanted to get some feedback.
