[Trombone-l] Dave Liebman Band

[zemry1]

WOW!!! I haven't posted on this list in probably a year and now I see why.
That is a totally unwarranted vicious personal attack. 

First thing, I've known Sam on-line for several years and I have never seen
him exhibit any racist behaviour. Being African-American and from the south,
I know racism when I see or hear it. Being a lawyer, I also wouldn't be the
least bit surprised if you weren't placing yourself in a position for a
possible defamation lawsuit. I would definitely think twice before I called
a person a racist over the internet. Seeing as Sam is a professional
musician and teacher, there is no doubt that your words could cause him a
possible loss of income and damage his reputation. Being on the computer
doesn't make you immune from a lawsuit. 

Secondly, Sam is a top notch musician. He has made a living playing trombone
in New York. That is not something that I could do and I strongly suspect
that you could not do it either! Moreover, Sam has willingly taken of his
time to give FREE trombone advice over the internet, on this list and on
other trombone sites. If you take the time to read some of his posts, you
will see that he is a wealth of knowledge regarding the trombone and music
in general. 

Think twice before making such posts!

Good Lord! 
Please don't hire this guy as a teacher. Listen to the ITA recording with
him featured. Bad time, bad sound, bad attacks, and terrible intonation. 
It seems that the Dave Liebman Band can't afford the good NY players so he
takes Sam. Or, maybe he likes crude, out of tune players with crappy sound
and bad time. A racist to boot!
