You have many good qualities as a player, including a fine tone and some fluidity. But take this as advice without that big chip on your shoulder. You think maybe some of this might have to do with you keeping that horn in your mouth and spending some of that misspent blame game on improving your musical depth and less times with the youtube mouthing off? I saw you go off on that Wynton video. That guy you slammed guest conducts 3 of the orchestras on your list. Pretty stupid way to get a job.

@slamdunk9 I'm not certain why you think you have the authority or audacity to be making such remarks, but since you appear to be out of the loop, I put this video up to show my friends and fans that it takes failing to achieve greatness. I'm sorry that you are equally as short-sighted as Mr. Smith to see this key difference. Furthermore, I do not condone the practice of ass kissing to get a job. Pretty stupid advice, if you ask me.

Agreed, it DOES take failings to achieve greatness. Before Tom Smith became who he was he lost everything building the first entirely corporate subsidized music industry university when the CEO died and the company (one of the largest in the world) passed over to a Japanese consortium. Difference was, he didn't blame others. He blamed himself then came back to do the same thing successfully on 4 continents. Clouded, unemployed self loathing narcissists should keep the opinions to themselves.

@MSmithjazz You're right. It's a good thing I'm gainfully employed, happy in my life and career, and learned to take responsibility for my failures much earlier in life. Thanks mom.

[MSmithjazz]

@clairannette And so you know...slamdunk9 has been on how many platinum recordings? Something like ten I believe. Out of the loop? Are you serious? He's on the frickin Mission Impossible soundtrack that's the #1 movie in the world RIGHT NOW. Man, there must be a lot of people who have stories about you because you're just the gift that keeps on giving. That has to be one of the main reasons you're foaming off with all this time to kill.

[clairannette]

@MSmithjazz Good for slamdunk9. But what is he doing now? On YouTube, killing time. Just like me. Spending his free time however the freak he wants, just like you and "daddy" Smiff. I don't blame you guys for that, but I think it's pretty funny that you all have attempted to judge me based on that very same fact alone. Hypocritical much?

OH GOD, I AM A TERRIBLE PLAYER!

[clairannette]

@pussymadful HAHAHAH... NO NO NONONONOOOO... You are missing the point G33. Hahahaha... this was a video to say "jullie kunnen allemaal de pot op". Many of these organisations didn't even bother letting me audition on the basis of some bull like my nationality or cut me for stupid stuff like -- as one adjudicator once said "he didn't like my outfit". lol

[pussymadful]

don't worry Bryan...you'll achieve your dreams some day, I am sure about it!!

[clairannette]

@shmoothshailing Ohh... bless your heart. You really have no idea, do you?
