He still has that poor performance of "El Sueno de la Munequita" under
Muzak samples and presents left hand presentation that I posted here,
years ago, as his own.
Hey Deack,
Larry, listen here and correct that:

Then try this:

And get back to me..... and not before then!
Che, are there grounds for a law suit here?
Take a full photograph of that web page. If you are interested in
follow up let me know when is a good time to phone. I had a top notch
attorney on Wilshire Boulevard in L.A., razor sharp and very
aggressive. I can put you in touch.
Turn about is fair play,
Che'
Hope this isn't received as an intrusion, as you posed your question
specifically to Che.
Also, I am not a lawyer- far from it. Therefore I disavow the
following as being offered as competent legal advice. But as far as I
understand it, in order to prevail in any lawsuit about your having
been cited on Larry's site you would have to prove both:
1) that you were misrepresented, and
2) that you suffered damages as a result.
You might also have to prove that the intent was malicious.
Dunno if you have any grounds, but that's for you to decide.
Thanks Che and John, yea I like to have fun here, but Larry's website
pushes the limits of fun into the realm of malice. I tried to give
Larry the benefit of the doubt, but obviously he is tying very hard to
cause people not to buy my guitars by character assassination. It's
one thing on the RMCG.... it's another thing entirely on one's
privately funded website. Che email me your number. to
michael...@mac.com or go to my website and click contact.......
my old email accounts are gone.
I'll call you later it would be good to catch up with you in addition
to your recommendations and legal advice.

Thanks for the laugh.
Now, for all the amateur lawyers in the group here's the quotes I
used:
“So screw your bullshit razzel dazzel maths!”
-Tashi
“I would rather watch TV than read your poetry.”
– Tashi
The question is, can you be sued for responding to this post without
snipping this part?
You forgot to mention the character assassination, those were only
quotes made by me. The rest is the most damming part on your
privately fund website. Larry you aren't prepared for what is coming
your way.
> he is tying very hard to cause people not
> to buy my guitars by character assassination.
Is it working? Have you had customers tell you they won't buy
because of what I posted on my web site? That would blow my
mind.............
On second thought, don't respond. I'm betting that would be the
first advice you will get from a lawyer, and I'm not a lawyer.
Keep talking Larry.......
Is there a word for self character assassination? If not there
should be.
Please don't answer... for your own good.
You have to give me something to work with here.
BTW, I own the rights to ellipses in RMCG and I'm gunna sue if you
continue...
Well, I think you should both go down to Wilshire Bvld with a $25,000
retainer and find a lawyer slimey enough to take your cases.
Larry feel free to sue me. I've made a few phone calls to lawyer
friends of mine this morning, there is a HUGE difference between a
public forum an privately funded website. Talk BS all day
long........ you have no idea what's about to hit you.

LOL! You need to talk to a "real" lawyer.
Larry keep talking......
I don't know the answer to that, but the part about suing someone for
quoting accurately and calling it character assassination is
hilarious. I'm sure I heard that elsewhere recently...[2010 Larry
Deack, used with permission]. Was it Meg Whitman? Sharron Angle? One
of those, I think.

All he said about your guitar making is that you make guitars. All he
said about your contributions to the forum is refer to some of the
topics on which, indeed, you do like to submit postings, all of which
is a matter of public record. Seems like minor malevolance so far, if
that is what it is at all.
>... It's

If there is a distinction to be drawn, it seems to me that it could be
argued that any effect on you would be all the less for it being on
his individual website as compared to anything he might say on a
widely accessed public forum.
About the worst that can be said of it, aside from it being a pie-in-
the-face that seems delivered in something other than a spirit of
hilaric comraderie, is that in likening the group to a comic strip he
quoted you, particularly, out of context, and forwarded you as
exemplifying the general character of the group. Maybe its everyone
BUt you who should be suing Larry! [Let me hasten to qualify that as
nothing but my having perceived an opportunity for a rimshot. Is the
following emoticon sufficiently mollifying? ;-) ]

I look forward to seeing you both appear on Judge Judy.

RONFLMAF! You do have a way with words. I think I need to update my
blag, this is just too good.
Seriously, best laugh I've had today and I'm watching the Glenn Beck
Comedy Hour of Power as I write this.
I have had experience with many people like you offering your 2 cents
worth of legal advice, (not to be demeaning) the world is full of
people offering worthless advice. I will say the simple fact that
Larry has this on his website from what I've been told by people more
knowledgeable than you, is cause for Larry to take notice.
Last year I had some bad very nasty renters who refused to pay rent,
I had realtor friends, and people who have rented for years give me
legal advice, however none of it panned out, it was all BS, as it took
place in a Magistrate court, where the only qualification to be a
judge was being an American citizen.
We had to hire lawyers to get them out of our house if you ever saw
the movie "Pacific Heights" with Michael Keaton you might begin to
understand what we went through.
I'm making inquirers into this, I'm not listening to the BS on the
RMCG. It might be a worthwhile investment or not I'll keep you all
posted.
I do not feel demeaned. A fee of 2¢ is quite adequate. In lieu of
your forwarding the 2¢ to me directly, my standard arrangement in such
situations is that you give the 2¢ instead to the next worst street
musician you can find, so long as his performance is as sincere as
Linus' pumpkin patch. However, in contrast to the merits of my
advice, even the worst street musician is deserving of more than 2¢; I
encourage you to be more generous.
>... the world is full of

Well, if this general statement is to be taken in context as also in
reference to the quality of my advice, then I'm not sure what you are
saying- you seem to be inconsistent. I may consider initiating some
legal action of my own, as you appear to be backing out of an offer
seemingly tendered in all earnestness and then accepted by me, before
I had read on. But I will forego that and modify my usual conditions;
you may at your option find the next worst street musician you can
find, so long as his performance is as sincere as Linus' pumpkin
patch, and then give him 0¢ instead of 2¢. But that is as far as I'm
willing to go. If I hear of your having found the next worst street
musician you can find, so long as his performance is as sincere as
Linus' pumpkin patch, and demanding of him as my proxy 2¢ due to you,
for your having deigned to entertain my advice, then things will
indeed get serious between us.

I'm not at all taken aback at your having found people more
knowledgable than me in this area. Better give them 3¢.

By all means. However, it was in RMCG that you decided to pose the
question. Be it as it may that you directed the inquiry in particular
to Che's attention, your having done so in a public forum of this
nature is easily construable as a prima facie solicitation of input
also from others.
Okay, this is a fight in which I have no dog... I've just been
foolin' around today as a delaying tactic in lieu of corralling my
attentions to devote them to matters more pressing that actually are
my business, and admittedly its been at your expense more than
Larry's- only because it was in your post that the chimpanzee that
lives in in my head saw a comic hook.. If I were you I would probbably
feel similarly incensed to discover that some altercation I'd been
having with someone had been carried by them for no particular purpose
to some other venue in which I had no opportunity to respond- but
truly, I've only been peripherally aware over time of various
expressions of animus involving you, Larry, and some others, and I
have no idea what's behind it all. There may be some overarching
dynamic in what goes on between you in which to have done so has
place, or not, I don't know.
But even if not in the best of traditions, it still seems to me that
there is no cause for serious legal action. There's another 2¢.
BTW, I did see "Pacific Heights."
Tashi, I just got in. Give me a good time to phone an I'll contact you
later tonight through the number at your web site,
Che'
I wouldn't say anything. Let your lawyer do the talking.
Che'
Jon with all due respect, I asked Che because of his expertise in
these matters, and his love of Larry.
Che, call me at this number 575 770 1071 my cell phone with a
bluetooth.
That's me on the phone, Tashi!
