I must say it is really hard to know where to start. I met Jon Holtz back in 1992 when he was starting to get his label off the ground. I worked for a record retail and distribution company. So we had some of the same interests and saw ways we could help each other get ahead. I was young and nieve and all his lies seemed fair to me at the time. Jon said he could help me record a first class demo for $6,000. This would be for the studio time, his production and studio musicians. We went to Signal Sound studios in Allentown PA. We recorded the demos and returned to Tennessee. Months later i was contacted by the lawyers of Signal Sound demanding payment. Jon had keep the money and not finished paying the studio. Claiming that Pete, the owner owed him money from another project. But it was I who had to appear in court and settle the matter on my own. If not for my youth and Jon's smooth talking this would have been a big red flag.
