Insights from GlennCo Audio’s award-winning employee Adam

Q:  Adam, how do you get the friggin’ guitar player to turn down?

Adam:  Money, that’s the only way.

Haven’t you ever heard B.B. King’s song “Payin’ the Cost to be the Boss?” Knowing you, you are probably only familiar with Pat Benatar’s version. These lady singers can be mean mistreaters, too!

Pay a guitarist enough and they have to do what you say. You think Madonna’s guitarist gives her any grief when she tells him to turn down?

”Is this enough, ma’am?” That’s what he says.

He likes that moolah!

Or, you and the other guys are going to have to do an intervention like they do with drunks and junkies, where all the people who love them get together and barge in on them.

If he has a wife or girlfriend, work it out with her. Early one weekend morning, she goes to the bathroom. You guys are waiting in the alley. She raises and lowers the window shade three times and leaves the back door unlocked.

You rush in with Halloween costumes on and start beating him with pillows. You all start shouting “We are patrons of the local watering hole and you play too frigging loud! You’d better stop it, or we are going to get the owner to stop hiring your band!”

Then run out while he is still half asleep and hasn’t noticed the peculiar similarities between the voices of these alleged patrons and you guys. I think that ought to work.

Unless he just goes back to sleep and decides he dreamed the whole thing.

That’s a chance you’re going to have to take.

Hope that helps.

Sincerely,

Adam
