He is under the mistaken notion that because he posts multiple times all over Amazon U.S. and in the U.K. that he must be reaching a lot of people and discouraging sales of the Jim Reeves CDs with outright lies about these fine products. Saying we are giving refunds when that is not true, or that the latest release "Jim Reeves Rare and Unreleased" was a homemade dub -- when he KNOWS this is not true -- is a sign of utter desperation.
What he doesn't realize is that Amazon is so vast, that the actual number of people who see a specific product page is surprisingly small. Sellers are able to see a page count of how many people have looked at an item, and it in no way approaches numerically the kind of outreach that can be achieved through my site, our mailing list of thousands of names, and exposure Larry's CDs and book receive through other media around the world.
Despite Mr. Atkinson posting so many attacks, a number of our defenders are sure to respond to him with lucid, logical counter-arguments, which ALWAYS make him look ridiculous. He addresses many of them as "Larry" and pretends that my husband is sitting in front of his computer 24/7 writing him back under various aliases!
In fact, anyone who could be aroused to such a fevered pitch that they would make so many posts automatically looks suspicious and Amazon customers are smart enough to see this guy has an agenda and is on some sort of crusade.
The incredible reviews the VoiceMasters products and Larry's award winning book, "Jim Reeves: His Untold Story" have received, are an effective counter to any of the silly accusations and the pretense Mr. Atkinson has to having some sort of "insider knowledge" about my husband and his activities.
But I am glad Larry called him out on it and set the record straight about the refunds, etc.
Do you know what the Jordan family was doing while Mr. Atkinson was busy wasting his time attacking us on Amazon over the weekend?
Among other things we were listening to some beautiful new music which will be released on two separate CDs in the fall, which I know fans will love. One is on Jim Reeves, and the other is a CD on a female vocalist in the jazz field.
Musicians have been hard at work for weeks now, under Larry's skillful direction, and besides the stalwarts, he has some new players involved in the latest projects. They are so very talented our house was filled with music as these almost completed tracks were played for some friends of ours who got together for a football party and spent part of the weekend with us.
Everybody was so impressed by the terrific new music and I felt honored to be among those who got to hear it first.
Of course, we already know that when it is released it will be immediately attacked by the haters.
Life is too short to squander it on hatred and those who choose this course are only hurting themselves and wasting hours of their time, which you never get back and are irreplaceable. -- JULIE
