this is how the meeting went....
Craigie Z: hey John what are you doing these days?
JB: nothin just working on my twirls, you know these youger cats are out twirling me so I gotta stay on top of my game....
Craigie Z: well you know we went up on our prices, so if you would come on board we could actually add you to our paid artist roster, but you can't tell anybody....
JB: well.... no I don't see nothin wrong with that, being that I can use the xtra cash, but you all have to make me my own cymbals, I know thats why Dave left you, I hope you alls attitudes have changed since then, I mean those HH, HHX sound spetacular, whats the closest thing you have to them?
Craigie Z: well you know we have those Hybrids, K cons, I'm pretty sure we can find you something and just say that your dad used them when he was a kid, ( you know so it'll go over easy with the public, (but smack my uncle and cousins in their face)... so do we have a deal?
JB: sounds great where do I sign and when do I get my first check.....
