Mr Larry King has a good show, but.. Beware! I would advise not to get involved with him on a business note. He has quite the background in deception when it comes to investing in his Country Music show.

DEAR JACKIE BOO,
I will support that statement 100%. He is a egotistic ******.. This old has been didn't like the fact I wouldn't wear stretch pants and cut my hair to play for his old BLUE HAIRS!... He said to me, " Any one who plays my show, on my stage will do what I say"..... He also proceeded to tell me that should I be good enough to grace his stage and be a part of his band, I need to be his beck and call and give up all of my studio work and prior commitments and when I told the old geezer "sure I will, so let me send over a legal binding contract so I will need your address to overnight a fedex document and Mr. King, you will need to have this document notarized essentially stating that I am now a part of Larry King band and you will pay me 40K salary to be at all of your "REHEARSALS AND SHOWS" and in turn I will give up all of my studio and road work I have already scheduled as professional musician. HE GOT MAD!!..I TOLD THAT ***** OFF AND NEVER CALL ME AGAIN.
Larry King if you are out there reading this!.. YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE ON THE SAME STAGE SHARING MY TALENTS WHICH WILL MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A STAR!!... I CAN GUARANTEE THAT!. I HAVE WAY MORE MUSICAL TALENT UNDER MY FINGER NAIL THAN YOUR OLD GEEZER *** WILL HAVE IN YOUR LIFETIME. YOU DON'T KNOW WHO **** I AM AND MY NAME IN THIS TOWN..... My suggestion to you is!.... HUMBLE yourself and quit acting like you are somebody in this town because the fact is....YOU ARE A LITTLE FISH IN A HUGE OCEAN AND THE GREAT PLAYERS LIKE MYSELF WILL NOT PUT UP WITH YOUR DISRESPECT AND ARROGANCE!..

I had (to what I thought) was a pleasure in joining this great show, until 2 months of playing every Friday night WITH OUT being paid. Larry kept saying "It's the slow season, we need to get noticed" so I stuck it out. That is when I found out the shows that were bringing in a packed house were "FREE" shows and they passed a hat around for donations only. One show which was a contract gig, with a packed house at a dinner theater, and for some reason never got paid for. After doing research, I have found more and more musicians that are owed money from this shyster of a man. The only "legend" this man has on himself is the "LEGEND OF S*REWING" people over for him to look good. THE WORD NEEDS TO GET OUT NOT TO DO BUSINESS WITH THIS MAN!
