webmaster’s promise

Apologies. The website address for the website about the lawsuit that I
posted was wrong. It is:

http://
web.mac.com/wgalison/MADELEINE_LETTER

Edited by bethune

I could not read the whole website (it is too big!) but what I did read is
rather shocking.

I checked Madeleine's lawyer on Google and he is really a mafia lawyer! If
Galison tells lies about the lawyers they will sue him (or kill him!)

Serioulsy Such a big effort by Mr. Galison should deserve a answer from
Ms. Peyroux.

If it is true that Madeeine's lawyers has told lies to her about William then
she should make an apology, because she was saying waht they told her.

Lawyers are the same in every country, but America is the worst!!!

peace

Dear "Carolina"

you wrote: <<Interesting incognito attempt>>

What an interesting thing for you to say. First of all, it's pretty unlikely
that "mushroombreath" is that person's real name. Secondly, this website
is a costume ball! Your name isn't "Carolina" and my name isn't "Bethune"

As far as I can see the only person that ever had the courage to use his
real name ever on this website was William Galison, who was promptly
banned from the site. (No wonder everybody is incognito!).

Your note seems to be an example of the "pot" calling the "kettle" "black".
If you want to tell us your real identity then maybe you'll start a trend and
we'll all be who we really are.

You people who object to William's "open letter" are so vitriolic! Any body
who actually reads the "open letter" will see that it is supportive of
Madeleine, and says nothing bad about her. It only criticizes her lawyers
and manager, who it seems to me deserve it for lying to Madeleine and
getting her into a legal mess for all this time.

If they didn't lie to Madeleine then Madeleine lied under oath, because
Madeleine says they told her untrue stuff about why Rounder cancelled
her contract. Are you saying that Madeleine lied under oath?

The only people who could possibly object to the open letter are her
lawyers and manager. Which are you?

In cognito,

"Bethune"

I've known William Galison since the eighties and I've played music with
him a dozen times at least. I played with Madeleine a couple of times with
Ron Sunshine's band. Both of them know who I am. I remember when
they were together thinking they were a cute couple and a good tream.
Then William sent me the link to the "open letter" and I was like "Oh for
christs's sake, here he goes again", I read most of it and I have to say it
got me mad.

Anybody who's tried to make a living as a musician in New York knows its
hard enough to scratch out a living wthout dealing with crap like this. I
wonn't comment on most of the letter but there is one thing I do know
about. When Madeleine wrote to the Jazzpolice reporter (under a different
name!) and said that Sting fired William from the band because of his
behavior, thats a load of crap. I know a few of the players that toured with
Sting and I remember asking about why William didn't get that gig. I
asked because William was really upset when that happened. The way I
heard it, Sting decided not to use a harmonica player on that tour, period,
end of story. Everybody knows William is as good as you get on the
harmonica. William used to have a reputation for being late, but he was
always well liked and highly respected among the musicians that knew
him. I know for a fact that he;s been on long tours on the past few years
so they must be asking him back.


Madeleine has a different reputation, but I won't go into that here. On one
of the videos Madeleine says that she said those thing about William
because she was mad at him. You don't try to ruin a person's career
because you're mad at someone. If William said something untrue you set
the record straight, you don't spread lies about why a person lost a gig.
That's like career murder. And ias far as I can see it turns out William
didn't even say anything untruel. Of all the crap in that letter, that was the
thing that got me maddest. For christ's sake, Madeleine, the least you can
do is apologize. William said something true that you thought was false
and so you said something false to get back at him and now you won't
apologize? Whats wrong with this picture?

William has mentioned that he is in this case with Madeleine and the
wordis that he;s obsessed with it. To be honest, I didn't know much or
care much about it before, because i don't like anything to do with law
suits, but this is B***S***. I finally understand why William has such a bug
up his butt.

Madeleine, you were struggling just a few years ago. You were playing on
the street for christ's sake. Why do you want to screw up the career of
another musician and good guy who's just trying to get by. You are not
making a lot of friends in the New York scene by acting this way.

That's all I have to say.

I am a working musician, making a living at in NYC through the many
personal and professional struggles all artists experience.   
I am well aware of the business reputations of both these musicians
mentioned.
I meant every word I've said in my previous posts -
and this is my last post.
Again, this is a supportive site for those who love Madeleine and her
music -
not for people to say unkind, inflammatory things about an unfortunate,
complex private matter.     
My comment about harmony is indeed entirely applicable here.   
Have faith, Madeleine, and thank you for bringing so much joy to
countless music lovers with your talent and grace.
