Here is the link to the Trumpet Herald posts where Greg Murray faked
his own death, stole well respected gospel trumpeter David O'Neill''s
music, and defrauded several people on eBay selling trumpets:
UGH...
great, now it's posts about zombies...
Well, you know what they say, "When there's no more room in hell, the
dead will walk the earth."
So I get a call from that (Gregs?)704 cell #. A guy called claiming to
be named Mark Aldridge who claims to be Greg Murray's booking agent.
He claims to be in charge of "His Name Agency". I suspect, but can not
prove, that the person claiming to be Mark Aldridge might very well be
Greg Murray himself. His voice on the phone sure did sound like Greg
Murray.
Should any of you wish to "book" Greg Murray, (or have other buisiness
with him)"Mark Aldridge " 's phone # is 704-437-1596.
"Mark" claimed that it was his fault that Greg Murray was distributing
CD's that were recorded by David O'Neill.
I asked " Mark" how he had gotten ahold of a David O'Neil Cd?
No Answer.
I asked "Mark" if he had contacted David O'Neill to appologize for the
mistake. "Mark"'s answer:
No.
Do a Google Search on His Name Agency, nothing...
This might be the guy, but in 2008 he was from WV, not NC:
http://www.hisholyspace.com/view_profile.php?member_id=858
I doubt this is him, as of 3/2010 he was still in WV:
http://www.myspace.com/PASTORHOOCH
Mark claimed that Greg Murray recorded at "His Name Recording
Studio" , yet a Google search pulls up nothing:

Yeah, none of that has anything to do with what I said.
BUSTED!!!!
So I go to erase the phone #'s of everyone who called me today. Guess
whose caller ID # name came up when I looked at the 704-437-1596 phone
number?
Not "Mark Aldridge"
But rather Bobbie Murray!!!!
704-437-1596 is Greg Murray's cell phone # (or his wifes?).
I thought that it was that Greg Murray phoney that I was talking to
today. What a scam artist!!!!
Maybe he was using that phone, just like ":TJ Burk" used
usatr...@yahoo.com.
Or maybe it was just "a bit".

So he's a student of yours? Sounds very much like things you have done
in the past douchebag.
Now tell us something about Mikey that we don't already know. :-)
Plus, he can't spell "Haiti".
Well, it looks like Greg Murray himself ?? (or whatever name he is
using today), raised from the dead , may have found his way to my
Kingdoms.
Take a look what well respected Christian trumpeter David O'Neill has
to say about the Rev. Greg Murray:
"
BTW/FWI... There is a trumpet player out there by the name of Greg
Murry. He has stolen my music, my CD's of me playing, and has re-
packaged them claiming it is him playing. They were taken from several
of my recordings that I released on a record lable 'Diadem Music'
titled David O'Neill 'Oracle' and 'Triumphant' as well as some of my
demos from my company 'Brass Trax'. I have taken his CD's into the
studio and have run wave files on them to compare them to my
recordings... Exact match, note for note, breath for breath. In fact,
there are a few internal sounds that happened on the original
recordings that can not be immitated because they were in the mix not
the playing, and only myself and the engineer know are there. He
CLAIMS he studied my playing and Phil Driscol's playing so close that
he sounds just like us. Sheesh... does he think we are that dumb???
Feel free to compare. My website www.davidoneill.com has all my
recordings on it. His website went down a few weeks ago but I will
post his data and links on a public google page next week. I saved
pages from his website before it went down. Pease keep an ear and an
eye on this guy. He is as fake as they get!!!
David O'Neill (copied from the TH untouched)
"
He has been banned on several websites for his hatred comments

True I have been banned from a few blogs and forums, etc, it is not
true that I was banned for making hatred comments, more for not
following the forum rules
His name is Michael Schmidt of Trumpet
> Of The Lord.
True
he continues to bad mouth other artist when he finds out
> they're better at the trumpet than he is.
untrue
I am just having a little fun with these cats, I never did so to harm
anyone.
the "grudge" in reality has nothing to do with how i play or how they
play a trumpet.
Unlike you Greg, you will never find anyone who will ever accuse me on
not treating them fairly on a trumpet transaction.
As a matter of fact, I go out of the way on horn trades to treat
others the way that I want to be treated.
He is the one that started
> all this false info on me .
It is all well documented on the TH
Greg, I will take a lie detector test stating that you faked your own
death, if the lie detector test says that I am lying, I will pay for
the test, if it says that I am telling the truth, you will pay for the
test, ready to take me up on this?
If you'll run a NCIC on him, he has a
> criminal record
I doubt it, but I am looking into this.
NCIC is to check if someone has outstanding warrants. I have NO
outstanding warrants.
Everyone here already knows that I once pled nolo to disorderly
conduct. That was almost 10 years ago, get over it already Greg. That
dc is the only "criminal record" that you can find on me.
Calling me a criminal is like calling Rosanne Barr a singer.
So what, I pled nolo to basically nothing. I was stacked with
ridiculous unfounded and unproven charges. I paid a fine, and that was
it. It is not like I am some bank robber. Ugh...
and I also checked on his credentials he says he has.

Not true, I graduated from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary of
Liberty University on May 9th, 1998 with a Master of Divinity Degree.
As proof, Jerry Falwell, John Borek Jr. and Jerry Vines are the ones
who signed my degree. Anyone who comes to my house can see my degrees,
plus a picture of me graduating shaking Dr. Falwell's hand.
I hold three graduate degrees from Liberty, a M.A.R., M.R.E., and a
M.Div.
.
I

This is not true, to find out what a big liar Greg Murray is I

Well lets see, Liberty University, based upon the # of students is now
THE LARGEST RELIGIOUS UNIVERSITY IN AMERICA. Liberty is fully
accredited. Liberty is far from a diploma mill. So tell us Greg, just
what are your ministry credentials, where did you graduate from
seminary?
Michael has used
True, 2 or 3 at the most, but not to be sock puppets, but because I
lost my TH passwords, everyone knows who I am on TH , and I use my
real name in my signature. While we are at it, who is Kelly Marsh and
Mark Aldridge , and Jody Murray. As these your socks Greg? When you
marched in the Blue Devils, why didn't you march under the name Greg
Murray?
and is using different names on TH as

That is your opinion, care to compare our ministry credentials?

That is also untrue.
How would I know that your wifes name is Bobbie Murray unless you
called me?
I tried to help this guy Greg on the TH, I tried to help him makes
things right with David O'Neill but he refused.
Then one time a while back when I called your cell, someone answered
claiming to be your son, he claimed to be Jody, and he claimed that
you had died. Greg I honestly tried to help you become restored on the
TH, but you made me look bad for trying to help you with this faking
of your death thing.
I have consulted an attorney and

Funny that Greg is threatening to sue me. Greg is you are foolish
enough to try , go ahead, and we will have you in front of a judge
where you will be held accountable for all of your past actions,
including libeling me in this post of yours.
where will I be taking

Go for it.
I suggest to stay away from this guy

Again Greg, Calling me a criminal is like calling Rosanne Barr a
singer.
Dr. Michael Mikey Schmidt
"
Just for the record, I have bought from Greg Murray and he did ship
the item. He also sent me a few of his CDs. He sounds great on the
CDs, but it kind of bugged me that a few of the songs sounded exactly
like some recordings I heard from David O'neill (www.brasstrax.com). I
had not heard the O'neill recordings in years, but the sound,
arrangement, etc. sounded exactly like what I remembered. I never took
the time to go listen to them again.
Following that, we agreed on a trade and I foolishly sent my horn to
him thinking he was sending his to me at the same time. He never
shipped his and mine never got there, USPS and Canada Post tracking
have no trace of it entering the US.
I listed it as missing\stolen on a few trumpet sites and posted here
on TH about the loss. A lady from one of the trumpet\cornet sites sent
me an email asking who the item went to in NC. Strangely enough, she
was aware of some peculiar trumpet related transactions involving Greg
Murray.
Time passes and Greg emails or calls me from time to time to talk
trumpets. Some times he offers to buy something I have, or checks to
see if I want to buy something he has. He allegedly is friends with
Phil Driscoll and once asked me if I wanted or knew anyone that wanted
to buy a 50th anniversary Schilke that Phil was trying to sell.
Shortly after that, it appears as if Phil or his son lists a 50th
anniversary Schilke on ebay.
November 2008 Greg offers a deal that is too good to resist so I bite
and send him the money. We agreed on a certain amount for three horns.
After weeks of excuses (mom had a stroke, mom died, tied up with out
of state probate, I'm on the road, got lots of last minute Christmas
gigs, touring with Phil Driscoll in Florida, etc.), he finally
provides tracking information and I eventually get the shipment. Guess
what, it is only one of the three horns I purchased. I call Greg, we
discuss it and he assures me the others will be sent seperately.
I am still waiting for the two horns he owes me. His wife, BJ, has
sent me emails assuring me that the horns will get shipped out.
I can imagine if certain pieces of what we hear are true, then Greg's
wife has a temendous challenge in front of her. Assuming she is going
to do her best to make things right, what a mess for her to be left
sorting it all out.
I am still optimistic that I will get what was paid for, but until I
do, I am very uncomfortable.

That's absolutely wrong. I'm a federal cop and I use NCIC to pull
criminal histories on anyone I encounter. If you've been arrested and
charged, you're in NCIC. It's not just for warrants. A wide variety of
information is available:
http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/ncic.htm
The NCIC makes available a variety of records to be used for law
enforcement and security purposes. These records are made up of a
variety of forms of personal and property records.
Personal records:
- Convicted sex offenders
- Criminal conviction records
- Foreign fugitives
- Immigration violators
- Missing persons
- Parolees or people on supervised release
- Persons with active arrest warrants
- Persons with active protection orders
- Secret Service protective alerts
- Terrorist organizations and membership
- Unidentified human remains information
- Violent gang organizations and membership
Property records:
- Firearms records, including lost or missing firearms
- Stolen, embezzled or counterfeit securities
- Stolen property
- Stolen vehicle and boat parts
- Stolen vehicles and boats
Make that Greg Murray claims that he marched in the Blue Devils in
1982, yet his name does not appear to be on the 1982 Blue Devils
Roster.
Here is one of Greg Murray's old bios from an old web page of his:
"
Greg Murray Biography
Born in Waycross, Georgia on March 23, 1964, to Jesse and Eloise
Lambert Murray, Greg Murray surprised his family by picking up the
trumpet at an early age and teaching himself to play. Though the
majority of his family came from Folkston, GA, he attended Glynn
County Schools and was a 1982 graduate of Brunswick High School.
Mildred Eakes Lambert, Greg's maternal grandmother, was a Church of
God of Prophecy minister. Though his parents never favored church
attendance, Greg grew close to his grandparents and accompanied
Mildred and his grandfather, Samuel, to church during his formative
years. He credits them for bringing him up in a Christian environment.
Greg excelled in middle and high school band at Glynn County Schools,
becoming an accomplished trumpet player. In 1982, he was selected for
the Georgia Governors Honors Program in Music and, that same year, was
chosen as first trumpet for the World Champion Blue Devils Drum and
Bugle Corp located in Concord, California. Greg toured with the Corp
during the summer of 1982, allowing him the opportunity to study with
some of the best educators and trumpet players in the world.
Greg attended the University of Georgia and graduated with Honors from
Gupton-Jones College in Atlanta, Georgia with a degree in Mortuary
Science. While employed in the funeral profession, he continued to
become more and more proficient on the trumpet, flugelhorn and piccolo
trumpet, not yet sure in which direction his musical abilities would
lead. Little did he know how important his music and testimony would
become.
In the early 1990s, Greg received God's Call and was inspired to
create his own concert ministry entitled "Trumpet Praise Ministries."
His mission became spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ through song
to the lost all over the world. Currently, Greg is incorporating the
ancient Hebrew instrument, the Shofar, into his ministry's program as
well as praise and worship, beloved hymns and contemporary selections
that appeal to a varied audience.
Emphasizing that God gave him the talent to play musical instruments
and giving Him all the glory, Greg states, "In these uncertain times
of war and chaos, concerts are a way of channeling God's love and
compassion to a hurting world. Music is an international language, a
way of lifting up the name of Jesus Christ that reaches all ages,
races and creeds."
In 2007, Greg released two inspirational CDs. The first, called
Trumpet Praise includes both hymns and patriotic songs. The second,
titled, God Bless America, is a patriotic CD paying tribute to all
active military personnel and veterans.
Greg is currently in the studio working on a vocal and piano project
to be released in 2008.
"
In March of 2008, "Rev." Greg Murray listed that his ministry
ordination came from from here:
http://www.universalministries.com/doctrine.html
(Note: Greg Murrays' name is no longer listed there)
In 1998 I received an M.Div. from the largest religious university in
the United States ( Liberty University )
Greg Murray , according to Greg Murray, became ordained here:
Ok, I stand corrected, I never have used NCIC before, that is not
something that most CO's do, and rarely did I ever work in booking,
etc.
Go ahead and run an NCIC on me, you can verfy that the nolo I
mentioned is all that I have ever been found to have done wrong. I was
wrong, I paid an inflated fine , that was it. No big deal.
Well, you'll find Howdy in there, then...he's famous.
So what??? My ex wife (NOT ME) what is her name??I forgot?? once
wrote a bad check. I did not write that check. My name was drug into
that because that checking account was a joint account. My signature
was not on that check, but because it once showed up on my credit
report I paid off that debt, which really if I would have fought the
thing in court I could have been removed from that debt, but it was
much easier and cheaper to just pay off the owed amount.
Interesting is that Feed , ohiotpt in the TH claims that Greg Murray
is currently on probation. Here is what he said:
"
You might want to let his Probation Officer know what's going on.
There were a few cases pending...which kept getting delayed because he
was telling the court he was too SICK to show up (sick of Europe?).
Apparently he finally showed up, pled GUILTY and paid restitution and
is on probation. These were the cases of him selling cars which I
guess he didn't actually have title to..I believe that would be in
Yadkin County.
It looks like Mr. Murray isn't happy with mcahynuacrkd's posts in
other forums (see last posting):

No, everyone KNOWS that I AM an ordained minister. Everyone here can
verify that I hold a REAL M.iv. from Liberty.
Everyone here can also go to the first TH thread that I posted here,
and there you can find other TH'ers talking about the ministry
credentials that you listed Greg, that Universal Ministries website
that I posted in this thread.
Gregit took me 13 years to earn my legit ministry credentials.
Anyone can go to that Universal Ministries website, and you can get
ordained there in thirteen minutes.

Like I said, all you will find there is the nolo to disorderly
conduct, and several no prosed , bs stacked charges that were
unproven, and I think there might be a few mistakes that were
corrected due to Gwinnett County clerical errors and stuff like that.
There IS NO SMOKING GUN. nolo to DC, that it is folks.
By the way Greg Murry, are you currently on probation in NC, because
someone named Fred in the TH (ohiotpt) alleges that you are.

More libel. DCI will not care that you do not like me. You calling DCI
is laughable.
Speaking of DCI, why were you allegedly not listed on the Blue Devils
1982 roster?
Just be aware Greg Murry, if you take me to civil court, I will do my
very best if I can to make sure that David O'Neill and or his attorney
will be there, along with others you might not want to see in front of
a judge talking about you.

Unless you're a cop, you can't use NCIC.
Yet Greg Murray claimed that he ran a NCIC on me. I seriously doubt
that he is a cop, and Fred (ohiotpt) said on the TH that he believes
that Greg Murray is currently on probation. Greg could have easily
found out about the no lo to dc without using NCIC, that info is easy
enough to find on the internet, plus I certainly do not try to hide
it.
Please do an NCIC on Thomas Greg Murray or Thomas G Murray of NC and
let us know if he is currently on probation in NC.
Greg has a history of using large numbers, Greg once claimed that he
owned 300 trumpets

I'm sure the folks at Liberty's administration offices really

libelous claims.

telling the truth, Greg Murray or me.
Yeah, unlike you, I don't really use the phone to harass people.
I wonder how they feel about one of their alumni making
an ass of himself on usenet in an attempt to bring
meaning to his bleak, pathetic life.
To be fair, Mikey looks 20 years old than he really is.
Get a clue Greg Murray, nobody believes your lies.
Even if Th'ers and RAMD and RMMT posters are not big fans of me, they
all know at this point that I did graduate from Liberty 3 times as
several of them did legit background checks on me long before you ever
showed up here.

Well Greg Murray, or Kelly Marsh, ot Kyle Marsh, or Rev. Mark

that your name was again???
So what I have so far is your arrest record with a lot of

so?
In America you are innocent until PROVEN guilty.
I was NOT proven guilty of any of thosecharges, except for the no lo
to dc, which in the criminal world is about like getting a no lo to
driving 5 miles an hr over the speed limit.
, a fax proving you did not graduate from Liberty.
Be sure to post it here and on the TH for everyone to see. (He will

post it)

So folks , who are you going to believe, Greg Murray or David
O.Neill ???
Mikey Trumpet - the sound you love
Can we find out now?
NOBODY FUCKING CARES!
This matters.
Why?
This speaks to Greg Murray's lack of credibility.
Anyone who calls the Liberty University at the phone # I gave can
clearly see that this Greg Murray character is a liar.
By the way Greg Murray are you currently on probation in NC?
Why is your name not listed in the Blue Devils 1982 roster. Your self
written bio stated that you marched in the Blue Devils in 1982, yet
your name is not on the Blue Devils 1982 roster.
No, it does not. If you weren't such an attention whore, none
of this would have ever come up on these noewsgroups.
After some investigation I have been unable to confirm that Thomas
Greg Murray is currently on probation, and I suspect that he actually
might not be on probation in NC.
Maybe you should call your Coun-try Law-Yer Freddie Fudgepacker to
straighten this all out.
I'm pretty sure this is the third or fourth time someone has take the
effort to prove that you are indeed a fake Rev Dookie.
Why would you possibly think anyone on RAMD would consider you legit?
PLEASE get back on your meds!
"He's been working with Janet Paschal, the Gaither Vocal Band and
Michael W. Smith, but primarily works as a solo artist."
Re:
This is another lie. After contacting this newspaper this week with
information about Greg, they have taken the story off of their
webpage.
According to Janet's booking agent, at the time of the press release
Greg Murray had never worked WITH Janet Paschal before. All that Greg
has ever done with Janet was to book Janet is to sing in this
Brunswick concert. This is the ONLY thing that Greg has ever done with
Janet Paschal, and ever will do with her according to Janet's and the
Gaithers road manager / booking agent who alleges that what that press
release said is untrue. Also, according to Janet's agent, who spoke to
me on the phone while on tour with the Gaithers, Greg Murray has never
worked with the Gaithers before, big surprise.
You can verify this by contacting her at: 919-215-8207.
I am still waiting to hear from MWS's agent.

Because they are not stupid, and because of David O'Neill's

against Greg Murray. Nobody would believe Greg Murray over David
O'Neill who is perhaps the finest Christian professional trumpet
player in the world.

Greg Murray claims I am not from LU, yet here I am in this LU Spirit
of the Mountain Marching Band picture on the Liberty University
Marching Band Facebook page:
I am a little hard to see, but if you look closely, or with a
magnifying glass you can easily see that I am behind the 5th and 6th
color guard member from the right.
I will try to add my 1996 LU Graduation photo of me and Jerry to my FB
page as soon as I can.
I am not perfect, wow I even got angry once when someone tried to date
my wife and I got a no lo to disorderly conduct.
Even Mike Wallace of 60 minutes was once arrested for dc. Oh, and 15
years ago or so my ex wife once bounced a check. Look guys , I am so
bad, Ugh...
Greg you will not EVER find even one person who will claim that I did
them wrong on a horn trade. You will never find one person who will
say that
I might have a lot of fun messing with people on Usenet,but I never
created a false identity in order to commit fraud, I never stole
anyone's music.
Unlike myself, you are well enough to tour and keep a busy schedule.
You claim to be doing 150 dates a year, but on the net I can only see
where you did one gig in the last year, but hey, most likely you did
more than one?
I really tried to help you get restored as a Christian trumpet player.
You were so wrong to have put me out on a limb like you did in the
Trumpet Herald.
I believe you can take credit for that one yourself, Howdy.
Perhaps if you hadn't stuck your nose into someone else's business,
you wouldn't have come off looking like a complete imbecile.
Re:
No Jeff, I honestly tried to help Greg, but then Greg faked his own
death , when I called Greg's cell phone someone named Jody Murray (not
sure if it was Greg) said that Greg had passed away.
This was untrue, and when I posted on the TH that Greg had died, Greg
and or someone who answered his personal cell phone set me up, left me
out on a limb, etc.
>
> Perhaps if you hadn't stuck your nose into someone Else's business,

Well, I really do regret trying to help Greg Murray,
I am not sure if at this point Greg Murray will ever listen to his
peers , and will come clean about everything that he did.
Even cops can't run people on NCIC without a valid law enforcement
reason to do so. And I don't.
He did have a major case of small cox as a child. He never got over
it.
So, you, in not bothering to confirm the facts of the case, made an
ass of yourself.
> Well, I really do regret trying to help Greg Murray,

Well, sometimes it takes someone on the Internet exposing the fact
that someone is a convicted criminal for them to come clean. So I
think I understand why you might feel that way. Having that kind of
thing aired about yourself. As a minister. Et cetera.
That is why I question Greg Murray's claim that he ran a NCIC on me.
He is a funeral embalmer, how could he get access to do that? At this
point I find it difficult to believe anything that this guy says.
I think Greg Murray /Kelly Marsh/Kyle Marsh/jody Murray/Thomas G.
Murray is the one who looks like the donkey for brains in all of this.
Nobody believes him, and everybody believes David O'Neill. With one
lie coming after another coming from Greg, such as Greg was not buried
in NC , etc., he and his camp led me astray, for a while. Shameful
what this cat did, faking his own death just to get the heat off of
him for a while for his pathetic actions.

Oh brother. I said it before, calling me a convicted criminal is like
calling Roseanne Barr a singer.
Ugh...
David O'Neill is the one who initiated the original thread on the TH
about how Greg Murray stole his music.
During this whole thing with Greg Murray, I honestly tried to help
him, and I tried to help those who he has cheated, but frankly it has
just been one lie after another from this Greg Murray guy. I am sick
of him. As a minister he disgusts me.

For the informed, the choice is not that difficult to make.

You got that right.
It's the smallcox... It keeps getting worse.
That's what Mikey's wife says.
Being very familiar with the funeral business, it is an embalmer's
obligation to report to his or her boss (the funeral home director)
any discrepancy including that which might be contrary to what a
medical examiner's certificate of death states. While they might not
have a direct link to access NCIC, the funeral director is supposed
to
report it to the legal authorities to get the ball rolling. And like
it or not Mikey, undertakers have a lot of clout with the cops and
can
dig up a lot of dirt about most anyone. Money talks, especially when
the bearer doing a first call at a private home needs help lugging a
stiff down a flight of stairs and slips the cop 20 or 30 bucks for
that service.
Re:
Robert you might be on to something, Greg Murray may have used his
police connections to look me up in the NCIC system. If he did, I am
unsure if I will be able to find out if he did.
It does not really matter, most of us already know what he found
there, perhaps info on the dc , the no prosed stuff, and maybe info
about when I was a corrections officer.
Doesn't matter. EVERYONE here knows you are a psychotic

Well lets see Greg, how many Christian trumpet players allege that I

How many people out here claim that I did not treat you fairly when I

I am in the second row of band members, 4th from the left, not to far
from Dr. Locy.
Weird is that back when Greg Murray thought that I went to BJU, he
claimed that he had a relative that worked at BJU.
Greg, the truth is that almost nobody on Usenet really knows me at
all. They might think that they do, and the pro homo , pro abort, pro
Obama's can say whatever they want to about me, unless you know me off
of Usenet, you really do not know me at all, or my trumpet playing,
etc.
Christian trumpet player Greg Murray you really need a 180 CHANGE, and
up until right now , 5/5/2010 , the Christian trumpet playing
community has seen that you have not changed, and they continue to
believe that you are a fraud, fake and phoney. You will hear my peers
say this about you, but they will not say that about me. Your pathetic
claim that I did not attend and graduate from Liberty University is
laughable. Even till this day most of the country remembers seeing me
there on TV. They remind me of this fact over and over again wherever
I go.
Greg Murray, unless you admit to your errors specifically here and in
details here and on the TH, your future and influence as a Christian
minister (and Christian professional trumpet player ) will not even
surpass that of the ministry ( + reputation ) of Jim Bakker or Jimmy
Swaggart.
BUT, David O'Neill did once say that Greg Murray took one of his
CD's , and misrepresented his music as being Greg Murray's, music. We
all saw the link to this which was posted in the Trumpet Herald.

Well, let us all review closely what Christian trumpet player David
O'Neill had to say about you, "christian" trumpeter Greg Murray:
"
BTW/FWI... There is a trumpet player out there by the name of Greg
Murry. He has stolen my music, my CD's of me playing, and has re-
packaged them claiming it is him playing. They were taken from several
of my recordings that I released on a record lable 'Diadem Music'
titled David O'Neill 'Oracle' and 'Triumphant' as well as some of my
demos from my company 'Brass Trax'. I have taken his CD's into the
studio and have run wave files on them to compare them to my
recordings... Exact match, note for note, breath for breath. In fact,
there are a few internal sounds that happened on the original
recordings that can not be immitated because they were in the mix not
the playing, and only myself and the engineer know are there. He
CLAIMS he studied my playing and Phil Driscol's playing so close that
he sounds just like us. Sheesh... does he think we are that dumb???
Feel free to compare. My website www.davidoneill.com has all my
recordings on it. His website went down a few weeks ago but I will
post his data and links on a public google page next week. I saved
pages from his website before it went down. Pease keep an ear and an
eye on this guy. He is as fake as they get!!!
David O'Neill
"
Wow Jeff, it looks like Greg Murray is going to send you a stack of
pages that he printed from googling my name.
I hope that you enjoy your special package from Greg.
This is beginning to be like watching a bad rerun - movie, at this
point.
Ugh...
Does anyone seriously believe anything that this KooK called Mikey
Schmidt "Christian" trumpet player says?
Mikey and Greggy, there's this thing called email, it enables
two people to have a discussion without polluting a newsgroup
with shit nobody cares about. I suggest you check it out.
Shame on you.
At this point any evangelical minister can clearly see what kind of
Christan trumpet player Greg Murray is all about.
Greg Murray I tried but I was unable to get you to confess and
specifically admit to your past deceptions and to see you truly repent
and change. I tried my very best, but I was unable to encourage you to
make a much needed change.
I do not believe that you are sorry for all of the things that you
did, and I have not seen a much needed transformation from you.It is
for this reason that the Trumpet of the Lord continues not to
recommend the ministry of christian trumpet player Greg Murray.
One of the better statements I've ever read on RAMD. Mikey, do you get
nervous around coat hangers?
"...Murray was also chosen as first trumpet for the World Champion
Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corp in Concord, Calif.... "
Greg Murray's name is not on the 1982 Blue Devils roster on BD's
website.
I have two good friends who did march in the 82 Blue Devils, and I am
waiting to hear back from them, plus I should get a chance to ask
Wayne Downey about this issue this summer.
Mikey, why not be an example to him and confess your past deceptions?

Greg Murray tells one lie after another. I once pled no-lo to
disorderly conduct. That is it, everyone here already knows this, that
is the extent of my "criminal convictions". That is like being found
guilty of spitting on the sidewalk, or shooting someone the bird. Four
different judges have ruled that disorderly conduct IS NOT A CRIME,
and in GA my DC no-lo can never be used in a courtroom against me. I
also have a few other charges on my record that were all dropped , or
in legal terms, no prosed. These charges can not and will not be
brought up again. Guess what Greg Murray, the 10th circuit ruled that
disorderly conduct IS NOT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, so I have ZERO domestic
violence convictions on my record. In America you are innocent unless
proven guilty. I WAS NOT FOUND GUILTY OF ANYTHING , as a no lo in
Georgia is not a guilty conviction , but you already knew that, right
Greg? I was not proven guilty , and I have NEVER been found guilty of
any crime. In America , your arrest record is unimportant, as bogus
charges are often stacked up all over the place. in America, what
matters, after a case is over is whether the person was found guilty
of what they were charged with. In my case, it looks like I was not
guilty being as I walked out of the Gwinnett County Diversion Center
with NO BAIL, (not $1,000.00 , [I never paid any bail ] is not
accurate). So , just how was I able to walk out without having to pay
any bail money?
Looks like they did not have such a strong case on me after all did
they Greg? Looks like those charges against me were unfair, at least
that is what a judge must have thought when he looked at how I was set
up unfairly, and he let me out the door.
Big surprise to everyone here Greg Murray, the people here already
know all about this. This is an old, boring warn out topic that has
already been discussed over and over again.
So, below is all of the charges that can ever be brought up against me
in a court of law in the future:
NOTHING
Below is all of the guilty convictions that are on my record:
NOTHING
But if you , most likely improperly had an NCIC run on me Greg Murray,
you already knew that right?
Oh , and my ex wife once bounced a check.
Ugh...
Untrue Greg. The truth is I once tried to help you over at the TH, and
you made me look like a fool on the TH by
FAKING YOUR OWN DEATH.

Just for the record, I have bought from Greg Murray and he did ship
the item. He also sent me a few of his CDs. He sounds great on the
CDs, but it kind of bugged me that a few of the songs sounded exactly
like some recordings I heard from David O'neill (www.brasstrax.com). I
had not heard the O'neill recordings in years, but the sound,
arrangement, etc. sounded exactly like what I remembered. I never took
the time to go listen to them again.
Following that, we agreed on a trade and I foolishly sent my horn to
him thinking he was sending his to me at the same time. He never
shipped his and mine never got there, USPS and Canada Post tracking
have no trace of it entering the US.
I listed it as missing\stolen on a few trumpet sites and posted here
on TH about the loss. A lady from one of the trumpet\cornet sites sent
me an email asking who the item went to in NC. Strangely enough, she
was aware of some peculiar trumpet related transactions involving Greg
Murray.
Time passes and Greg emails or calls me from time to time to talk
trumpets. Some times he offers to buy something I have, or checks to
see if I want to buy something he has. He allegedly is friends with
Phil Driscoll and once asked me if I wanted or knew anyone that wanted
to buy a 50th anniversary Schilke that Phil was trying to sell.
Shortly after that, it appears as if Phil or his son lists a 50th
anniversary Schilke on ebay.
November 2008 Greg offers a deal that is too good to resist so I bite
and send him the money. We agreed on a certain amount for three horns.
After weeks of excuses (mom had a stroke, mom died, tied up with out
of state probate, I'm on the road, got lots of last minute Christmas
gigs, touring with Phil Driscoll in Florida, etc.), he finally
provides tracking information and I eventually get the shipment. Guess
what, it is only one of the three horns I purchased. I call Greg, we
discuss it and he assures me the others will be sent seperately.
I am still waiting for the two horns he owes me. His wife, BJ, has
sent me emails assuring me that the horns will get shipped out.
I can imagine if certain pieces of what we hear are true, then Greg's
wife has a temendous challenge in front of her. Assuming she is going
to do her best to make things right, what a mess for her to be left
sorting it all out.
I am still optimistic that I will get what was paid for, but until I
do, I am very uncomfortable.

Read what Progmac from the Trumpet Herald said about Greg Murray. This
post was taken from the Trumpet Herald , and is untouched:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
I posted a WTB ad in the forums for a Schilke X4. I received an email
from someone named Greg Murray (user name "cessna") asking me to call
him and talk about it. I called, and he told me he had a gold-plated
Schilke X4 he would sell for $1250. I asked for pictures and he sent
me to his website...http://www.trumpetpraiseministries.com. I guess
the website was supposed to "vouch" for him. He also told me a story
about not wanting to use ebay because he was the victim of some fraud
on there and paypal only paid him $200.
I asked if he would use escrow.com for the transaction. He said he
wasn't good with computers and didn't want to.
Since I'm a skeptic, I dug up all of his old posts to help corroborate
his identity and stories. Oddly, the story he told me was a verbatim
copy of the first post in this thread:
http://www.trumpetherald.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71839&highlight=.
So something seemed fishy, but I thought maybe it was nothing. So I
told him I would go ahead with the deal, he just needed to send me
pictures. He told me the item was boxed up and ready to go, but I said
I wouldn't pay without pictures.
He sent me a small, 26kb photo that looked like it was taken in a
studio. He called and asked if I received the photo. I said yes. I
said it looked like the trumpet was in a bag or something. He told me
that he put the trumpet in a bag so as not to get fingerprints on it.
He made various comments about not being good with computers, that was
why the picture was so small.
Still skeptical, I did a google search of the image name. Lo and
behold, I find this page: http://thompsonmusic.com/store/product3194.html.
He sent me a copy of a picture of a gold plated schilke he found
online! He cropped out the business card shown in the picture above.
When I found out he lied to me (he told me he removed the instrument
from the packaging and took a photo), I immediately canceled the
transaction. I said we could use escrow.com or he could ship the item
first. That was three or four days ago and I haven't heard back.
I also did a "whois" search on the domain -
trumpetpraiseministries.com. I found out that the domain was
registered "by proxy" meaning that the individual registering the
domain did not want to provide any contact info for whatever reason.
The whole situation smells so fishy to me, I think it almost has to be
a scam. It is somewhat convoluted though, because "trumpet praise
ministries" seems to be a legitimate operation performing in the north
carolina area.
I am not accusing anyone of anything, but I think it is important for
TH members to be aware of this guy and make sure not to complete any
transaction with him unless he ships first or you use some type of
escrow.
At the very least, I know for a fact that this "seller" lied to me, so
be aware.
Greg:
1. Everyone here has already discussed this topic over and over again,
it is old news. You have gone from amazing me with your multiple lies,
to boring me to death. Get a clue, do some Usenet searches or
something,
2. It does not matter because I WAS NOT FOUND GUILTY of those charges.
This is America not Haiti or Mexico
here in America
YOU ARE INNOCENT UNTIL YOU ARE PROVEN GUILTY
I was NOT found guilty.
I was not proven guilty.
I am not guilty.
I was innocent of those charges.
Got it?
3. Now leave me alone so I can watch the Atlanta Hawks.
