Re: [Harp-L] Sydel Endorsement.

[Joe and Cass Leone <leone@xxxxxxxx>]

Meanwhile, what does being an endorsee mean? Where does it get you?  
Or, is it a secret? I remember that my friend Jerry Murad was a  
Hohner endorser all his life and used to get some free stuff. BUT,  
doesn't that make one 'beholding'? OR, does it mean that the company  
who is endorsing you, supports you. Like in case you want to go to a  
convention and need financial help...OR the venue HOLDING the  
gathering can't AFFORD you, and the company steps in and picks up the  
tab. I suppose once one gets to a certain level (of notoriety), there  
is a certain expectation that their expenses will be covered PLUS  
some pocket money to make the * star's * trip worth while. Wow, what  
a lot of pressure.
