It sounds as though he is purposely playing every note that is not in key. It's hard to do this, so I give him that. There is a condition where people are unable to tell if notes are out of key and maybe he suffers from this. It’s not hard to do it on purpose. You just slide everything you’re playing up or down one fret. If the band is playing in the key of C, you solo in either B or C#. Doing it by accident and not realizing almost immediately that it’s wrong? That’s extremely difficult but he has mastered that skill, which is called being tone deaf.

Rfreeman reminds me so much of this local guy back when I was involved in the local scene. Musically, very similar. Kind of a half covers, have originals deal. Female singer he was most likely fucking. Fairly anonymous everyone else. This guy was so full of himself, he named the band so it had his initials. Wouldn’t miss any opportunity for self promotion to the point they became a huge joke. Also had no sense of humor or ability to see how ridiculous he was being. (In my guys defense, his band was at least competent in a wedding band sort of way. They would get legit paying gigs for corporate parties and whatnot, so I give him credit there. If he’d stayed in that lane, I doubt anyone would have dunked on him. It was that he was obviously a frustrated musical genius and had to tell us constantly that did it.)

The atrocities keep piling up! Can you imagine the performances he’s not choosing to share on YouTube?

The whole album is on YouTube if you want to hear it. I tried sampling tunes last night, but it doesn’t even have the mock-ability that the live shows have, it’s just boring music with a guy who can’t sing too high in the mix. m.youtube.com/channel/UCPzafgNx81wzfWikT-NaLxw

True, maybe he's a pretty good lawyer?

He needs to trade that fancy guitar in for one of those they used to make where one could enter the key and LEDs would light up on the fretboard indicating which notes to play. That’s still probably too complex for our hero. This is his last, best hope:

Lon Van Eaton helped to elevate Ringo past woeful proficiency to perfunctory mediocrity. In a power pop package pear tree.
