[Heeplist] Ken Hensley 2021 guest release: Blind Golem

[Don Malecic]

Hi Bob!

I remember going to a song writers conference in Vancouver long ago , where
all the big music producers were there looking for the next big hit.

There was about 30 musicians in a room with a large panel of music
producers , each of us had only 2 minutes play time from our best song that
we submitted  , it was  played for everyone to hear in the room ( scary)
lol!

I asked how could this be fair ? Why not listen to it longer? Why not
listen to other songs we have?
They said , if in two minutes your lyrics and voice don’t raise the  hairs
on our necks and give us goosebumps,
chances are it won’t cut it for us.

Now this sounds a little harsh but , In reality isn’t this  a little how we
get hooked onto new music we love?
By all means this is not to say that BG is bad at all and probably many
will enjoy it , just personally , hasn’t raised my hair or, given me a
goosebump .
I remember when I first spun Demons , it only took a few seconds after
hearing Byrons intro on the wizard to make my decision . I was sold !
