Please.
You're paying for his time, expertise and studio time, not least his experiences with the great artists he's worked with...think of how much you could LEARN. Prince & MJ he's worked with...end of. Something wrong with a black man making money now?

Paying for Janet's next 'hit'. That was said with love, for the record.

that actually sounds like fun, and you have a "demo" produced by him basically. Which actually sounds like a bargain!

LOL at Mickey D's though. Sheeeit, somedays you can't even feed your whole family under $25 unless you do dollar menu. Almost as bad as going to the movies, thinking you are gonna get popcorn and a drink. I creep in there with a candy bar and a caprisun....

That part stood out to me too. It sounds worth it if you can leave with your own song produced by Jimmy.

Dayum...someayall is being kinda harsh.

I think that's a good deal. I mean you're looking at several hours with the man. Tour the studio, see how the recording process works, walk away with your own demo (which you could shop if it's good enough) and have dinner with the dude? Come on...that's a steal! You might even get laid.

That's actually not bad at all!!
This could be someone's ticket in the music industry!! or maybe a chance to hear demos from Janet Omg!

I agree, that price not bad at all.

Seriously, even a studio you've never heard of can charge $500 a day.
Hell, I might have to get an American Express!

Where's Terry Lewis?

$1,249

Thank you! The price is cheap if you really think about it. You are getting 1/2 of the greatest songwriting production team ever, for $1,250!! You get to spend hours learning the craft that made uncle Jam and uncle Lewis famous. You get to hang out with the coolest and funniest Time member ever, sorry uncle JB and uncle Morris, but Jam is a hoot. Plus, you are getting your own demo!! For only $1,250. That is a steal of a deal.

I know..thats well worth the money alone. I would have felt guilty NOT paying.

DesireeNevermind said:

It is a bargain. I'm sure if Prince was to ever offer anything like that, it would be at least 125,000

kenlacam said:

maybe back in 1985!

Although it's $1250 per person, so a band of 4 would cost $5000, and who knows what the demo offer really means?

I sooooo wish I had money. I would do that in an instant.

DesireeNevermind said:

It's too good a deal. Y'all know Jam's production skills worth more than that. I wonder how much he's charging for pancakes?

That's an absolute steal, lucky peeps, whoever they may be.

IN HIS SKIIIIIN!!!!!

DesireeNevermind said:

Thanks for the laugh, I needed it.

That sounds like an AWESOME experience, but a bit out of my budget, price wise.

woogiebear said:

hahahahahah

wonder how much anyone would pay for a studio/dinner date with Jesse?

This is a steal, actually sounds to good to be true, you cant even buy studio time for that amount, forget about hiring Jam to produce a demo.
