MY GIRL / DAVID RUFFIN JR / Columbus Show Juneteenth 2011

[iheartpowertrips]

You sound really good. Does it ever bother you when people compare you to your dad?

[mrjoshjones1]

You gonna' "sang" & take the persona of the late, great one, gonna' take much

more than "cover versions".

I don;t buy cover songs, yours or anyone else's.

You may want to re-think your format, no dis...................

What kind of crowd did you have, ages, makeup, who promoted the show...etc.

May help you along if your real about this, as opposed to doing a cover show.

Any questions, holler.

[mrjoshjones1]

Been thinking hard about what I wrote last nite..................

Problem is, your bloodline is judged at a different level than (example)

Paul Williams Jr, DIllon Gorman or Bobby Smith Jr, that's the way it goes.

No secret, you know this well.

Paul Jr is part of Big Dennis' group, he knows his role, as did his late Pop.

Your stepping (attemping) to woo' folks following HUGE 'steps, with his material.

BTW, we got a club out here, I have to judgmental, (think and say what folks

won't say)

[mrjoshjones1]

All due respect, you got the glasses, all you need now is the talent to match,

'cause it ain't there.

@mrjoshjones1 wow....after going to your page and reading the comments people leave you (kindness), I cant understand your energy and disclaimer: "With all do respect"....? The people who are brave enough to put themselves out there for people to judge, are well aware that they cant please everyone! Yea, it sux that you dont think I hold any talent, but Fortunately for me, you (even if you LOVED it), couldn't buy a Million copies. (Not gonna "make or break me!!!)

[ARBELL1982]

@GrandRuffian Hey Ruff Jr, later for the haters!! It maybe you're not an exact carbon copy of your pops but guess what you're doing your thing just like Paul Jr is. You get good enough reverance and respect just doing what you love to do. Naysayers that always bash are the ones that are the real failures. They don't write your checks or pay your bills & like you said they can't make you or brake you unless you let them. KEEP KEEPIN' ON!! ;)

@GrandRuffian

Who cares about the haters? We loved your dad and we love you.

I feel bad mentioning your dad though. I know sometimes that has to get so frustrating. You stand on your own very well and I'm a fan, for sure.
