Dear Publicists:

A couple of weeks back, I put up a posting that corrected a previous, erroneous posting about a fine Bay Area organization. Within the last hour, someone who will go nameless wrote a comment to that posting, reading as follows:

Have you ever heard of classical [instrument deleted] [musician's name deleted]? He's a brilliant artist. If you aren't familiar with who he is, he has this organization: [deleted] that donates music lessons and instruments to kids in need. He also plays around New York City... I found his schedule online.

I can get more information on him if you are interested. Oh! I almost forgot, I also found out that he has these [recently organized salons] where you can actually go over to his place and listen to a bunch of people try out their piano music ( singing, violin, etc) on one other.

This is obvious spam. It had nothing to do with the original posting. I also hate the fake tone. I therefore deleted it.

If you'd like me to know about an artist you represent in some way, as agent or publicist, please send me email. I read the email I receive; I sometimes respond by email or put something on this blog. (My thanks to those of you who email me press releases and other info; I appreciate it.)

Do not post random comments on my blog. They are rude, and they're evidence that you're not bothering to read me or see if the comment is in any way relevant to my blog posting. Worst of all, they don't do the artists you're promoting any good at all, because they piss me off. I will delete such spam comments immediately.
