Valerie,

My name is Mike, also a member of the group. I read your message and agree with
you. Unfortunately I think Todd might have picked the wrong group to work with.

I played in several bands (nothing famous) when I was younger. When a group is
already established, they usually expect you to conform to them. But, if they
realize that this exposure on Todd TV could and probably will give a great boost
to their career, I think a compromise will be struck. I am wondering if there
is a stipulation in the contract that says that Todd will have to stay with this
group for a certain period of time after the show ends, or can he break free to
search for another band. Todd seems to be a talented person, but still has a
lot to learn. I think he should learn all he can from this group then move on.
They are not right for him. Keep the faith. I think Todd s smarter than what
he is letting on.
