[QUOTE who="Music Lover"]<quoted text>
voters who represent the intelligent, music loving people who appreciate
creativity and live music
[/QUOTE]
Then obviously anyone who feels that way would be a "Yes" voter, since they
would have the intelligence to understand that the only way to build and
grow a creative group of artists, such as those working in the
Columbus-Phenix City music scene, is to encourage the creative growth and
experimentation.
That's why the 1000 "Yes" votes cast so far are so much appreciated, because
a vote of confidence from people like those intelligent, music loving
people, and almost 1000 of them so far at that, is encouraging to say the
least, and really just cancels out the negative no creative complainers such
as yourself.
So there's 2000 of you so obsessed and possibly jealous of the talented ones
that you'd not only vote "No", but continue to post these anonymous attacks
on me and my musical and poetic comrades? That's nothing new, and that's
almost certainly one of the reasons this area has taken so long to begin to
build a cohesive and coperative music community, of original live music and
unique and talented songwriters, singers, poets and musicians.
So go on and vote "No"... all your votes will not stop, or, as you dream,
crusgh this shared vision, as the many and varied talents continue to bring
the gift of sound and vision to the public and audiences of the
Chattahoochee Valley area.
I, of course, had my start in the poetry and lyric writing aspect of the
Columbus-Phenix City scene, and so lean towards the singer-songwriter typse,
and bands who create their own songs and music, rather than the cover bands,
but in my opinion all are comrades wortking for the same goals.

So, in closing, my anonymous so-called "music lover" (who constantly spews
otherwise), you're of course entitled to your opinion, right or wrong, of
course, but secondly this discussion isn't about me since "Will Dockery" is
only one small part of the Columbus-Phenix City music scene at best, and
just a part of the overall ensemble strength of the sound here. I do,
however, enjoy and support the talented singers, songwriters, poets and
musicians that create their unique and wonderous sound and vision.
No, the Columbus-Phenix City music scene is not about one person or group,
but many talented singer-songwriters of multiple genres, as this site with
over 600 videos of the local Columbus-Phenix City talent proves.
And for those unfamilar with the music scene in Columbus-Phenix City then
and now, the scene is also thriving with talent of every variety:

These videos can be viewed by Phenix City residents on East Alabama Cable-TV
channel 7 throughout the days and nights.
Follow the link above for a comprehensive overview of the local
Columbus-Phenix City music scene with videos from local talent both young
and old.
Glad to set the record straight and clear up your obvious confusion once
again, although it seesms to never gain clarity, one can only hope you'll
wise up eventually, my so-called "music loving" friend, or whatever fake
name you choose to hide behind next.
