PAUL HOMB, PARANOID PSYCHOTIC

A PRINCE OF A MAN

SENDS "CONDOLENCES" ON THE DEATH OF REBECCA, MY WIFE

 

The FACTS and OPINIONS contained on this webpage reflect my own personal viewpoints.

The First Amendment of the Constitution specifically provides for my facts and opinions. 

 

Sometime around 1995, I had the misfortune to meet a paranoid psychotic named PAUL HOMB,

because I'm a Hammond organ player living in the Tampa area.

Within a short time of personal and telephone interaction, I decided to stay as far away from this lunatic as possible.

Certain people in this world are chronic liars.  I feel that Paul Homb categorizes as a chronic liar.

I've given him his own special name: Hombshit.  It applies not only to his lies, but it's his name, also.

Hi Steve
No we certainly ain't friends or even anything close to it. That doesn't matter. I'm just writing to say I am sincerely sad to hear about your recent loss.

If there is anything I can do to help don't hesitate to let me know.

respectfully

PAUL HOMB


This webpage will clearly illustrate Paul Hombshit's paranoid psychotic version of "sincerely sad to hear about your recent loss", "anything I can do to help", and especially .......... "RESPECTFULLY".

Steve

I suppose this would be the right time to say something like "ALL GONE YET?" to you, but I won't.  

But you won't?  You just did.

You remember this statement-it's one you made to me when I was in a similar psychic state to the one you are now in.

When YOUR wife is dead, then talk.

I was so depressed and despondent I too was considering extreme measures to find "peace". 

Maybe now in your present state you can understand better what I tried to tell you a few years back and what hell you put me through I was taking care of two very important, much loved family members who were dying of cancer (since deceased). 

I suppose this would be the right time to say something like "ALL GONE YET?" to you, but I won't - even though I just didSound familiar, Hombshit?

To complicate things I was severely disabled (and still am).

I'm impressed.

And I was trying to pay the Doctor's bills, the rent, employee's salaries, taxes, and to keep an international business going 

Who do you think YOU'RE Hombshitting?

that I put my heart, soul, and every dime I made into (a insurmountable challenge given my severe disability).  

I feel exactly the same sympathy as you feel.  Stuff your heart, soul, and dimes up your paranoid psychotic ass.  

You remember what you said about my disability "Paul's rolling around in a wheelchair, waiting for a bj"?  Now THAT's empathy!!!  For the record-I'm not nor have I ever been in a wheelchair. 

"For the record", you've misquoted me, as usual.  You're real good at that.

Nor has "the business been without work for a year, employee less, or made into a TV shop".  Steve, in case you didn't know it these statements made BY YOU fit the exact legal definition of SLANDER and LIBEL"  

You don't even know the difference between them.  Try a dictionary.

You say you came to me "to learn many things from you and the others at your shop." and because of my situation in life, dying family members, a SEVERE PAINFUL chronic disability complicated with INTRACTABLE MIGRAINES etc. 

Based on your hate letters, I don't give a shit about your dying family members, your "severe painful chronic disability", or your "intractable migraines".  For all I know, you have no "disability".  Maybe you're Hombshitting again.

I unfortunately just didn't have the time to give you the attention you felt I somehow owed you.  Nor did I have the time to be a free information service for your hobby.  I'm sorry Steve I tried.  

You tried your Hombshit "keyboard specialty" - paranoid psychotic HATE.

I spent hours with you on the phone answering your Hammond questions  

What a pile of Hombshit.  Since when do I need to ask YOU questions about Hammonds?  Al Goff knows 1000 times what you think you know, asshole, and HE'S CIVILIZED.  

And yes WE DID speak of employment.  

Maybe YOU did.  I sure didn't. 

You somehow working for me in some capacity, writing for Keyboard Specialties on the Hammond list was one function we discussed.  Don't you remember I was the one who told you about Hamtech  

I remember.  That was 1 year after I joined the [HAMTECH] mailing group.  Care to explain that one, Hombshit?  

and gave you my files for study. 

You gave me a pile of printed paranoid psychotic hate mail - ALL ABOUT AL GOFF.  Nothing else.  HATE MAIL: Al Goff.  Period.  You think I needed to "study" that?

And you offered to work for us in the shop but I declined because I wasn't ready or able with all the problems in my life at that time.  We really were going to find a way to fit you in. 

You couldn't afford me, Hombshit.  I was earning a living, operating my own business. 

I didn't need to see your resume.  I never asked for a resume from any of the employees who work for me. 

Then what do you call THIS?

confidentiality assured

I thought you didn't ask for resumes.  "Submit an application" is the direct Hombshit equivalent in my mind.

That's when you came to my old shop off Ulmerton Road with your very kool and beautiful dog (Cory?) and offered "to work for free as long as I work on what I want, when I want". 

I owned Canine Training for 21 years.  I worked full time in the dog business, Hombshit.  

Chris and Robin are witnesses to this 

Just keep giving them money, and they'll "witness" anything you can dream up.  

as I just checked with them both TODAY to make sure my memory was correct.  They were in the shop that day and both heard you VERY clearly.  Well Steve I suppose you think that was a good offer but it's just not how businesses are run. You might have been able to learn a lot that way but in business you have to do what the boss needs not "what you want when you want" even "for free".  

When I work FOR FREE, cars won't have tires.  You're delusional, but I think everyone has known that for years.  You just remember what you want - it's convenient - it serves your purpose at the moment - it's an important ingredient of Hombshit.

And thank you for the ONE and ONLY letter you wrote "RINGSIDE".  

A huge mistake on my part.  I publicly retracted it.

Maybe you expected something more from me for writing it.  I don't know.  I just know I never deserved  

Yes, Hombshit.  You positively DESERVED.  You CREATED any and all conflict with your own Hombshit mouth. 

the slanderous and ongoing vendetta you kept up PUBLICLY for many YEARS.  

Try the TRUTH.  You've insulted, degraded, belittled, and bad-mouthed me PUBLICLY to every person in the music business that would listen, in and out of the state, FOR OVER SEVEN YEARS.  You did it publicly at every concert I worked at.  As shown below, you did so on a public Hammond mailing list.  People have been coming to me for YEARS repeating the things you've said about me.  You don't think the Hombshit gets back to me?  Think again, asshole.  I'm not your personal punching bag.  

Vendetta?  I don't have a vendetta.  I don't care what you say about me, and never did. 

But let's define your Hombshit vendetta.  

Do you REALLY mean the blues festivals, concerts, and shows where I supplied the B3, or I was hired as the keyboard tech, and you stood around, watching?  Is that what you're referring to, Hombshit? 

 

Do you REALLY mean that I got some calls for Shirley Caesar, Billy Preston, Booker T & the MGs, Taste of Tarpon Blues Festival, Jimmy LaFave, Delbert McClinton, Rib Fest, Paul deLay Band, Ace Moreland, Morrisound Recording, Tarpon Springs Blues Festival, KC & the Sunshine Band, Son Seals, Sarasota Blues Festival, Jimmy Vaughan, Bernard Allison, Tampa Bay Blues Festival, Sonny Rhodes, Trisha Yearwood, Ybor City Blues Festival, Three Dog Night, Jimmy Buffett, Hall and Oates, and DOZENS more - and you didn't get those calls?  Is that it?  The "secret agent" in "competition" with the "disabled-world recognized-international-industry leader"?

 

Or is it that Al Goff sends people to ME, but never to YOU?  Is THAT what you mean?

 

Why not just say so, Hombshit?

For you to say "I have never degraded your products in any way: in actuality, I have complimented your work to the heavens. Just read - it's all in black and white." is shear bull shit and a further insult to the facts of the pure EVIL you perpetuated against me and my good name. 

In your paranoid psychotic Hombshit mind.  

Here's a typical example of the many complimentary statements made in "black and white": 

"There ARE no competitive Hammond shops in the area.  Probably none in the whole state.  LOL!"- Steve Leigh 

That happens to be the truth.  I'm not allowed to have an opinion?  Too bad, asshole.

Hopefully you will be able to admit to this and make restitution someday.  

You're LOOKING at my restitution, Hombshit.

If I wasn't empathetic I'd be throwing your own statements back in your face like "who's standing now and who ain't!!!" 

I didn't write that (see below).  You misspelled "empathetic".  You meant "pathetic".

Certainly at the present you are not standing!!! 

Wanna bet?  

Think how me making such a statement to you privately or publicly would make you feel in your present state.  Maybe then you'll know how it made me feel when you said it to me along with all the other statements you encouraged other people to make  

Now I'm also being blamed for encouraging other people to make statements about you?  Try that paranoid psychotic Hombshit on your mommy, daddy, and your grandparents - maybe they'll swallow it. 

as you engaged in a coordinated smear campaign  

The "coordinated smear campaign" devised entirely in your own paranoid psychotic mind?  

against me!!!! And don't say it didn't happen.  Maybe you didn't make "dozens" of statements yourself  

No, I didn't.  But YOU certainly did. 

but there were dozens you were responsible for and certainly many many more "than just three"!!! 

Let me know when you're ready to prove my responsibility for this "smear campaign" which you invented.

In the mean time I wish for you to find what ever you need to get through this terrible time of your life. 

That's more Hombshit.  I politely asked you to stop this, several times, but your hate messages and calls just kept coming.  

But Steve, until you can come clean and BE HONEST about the damage you inflicted and instigated I have no more time or respect to give you.  

More Hombshit lies.  You've got plenty of time for more hate letters - they're right below.  You can't stop.

Sincerely

PAUL H.

PS, The term you are using on your website, "superstockŪ" is my property as a LEGALLY REGISTERED FEDERAL TRADEMARK - please credit it to me correctly or remove it.  

PS, You are a liar and an asshole.  The word "superstock" was in use before you got out of grade school.  It is NOT your property and never was.  Take your Hombshit up with General Motors, Camaro, and Chevelle.  Try your lies on the NHRA, and every other auto, boat, motorcycle, dune buggy, and go-kart racing organization on earth.  Do a Google search on the word "superstock", and tell me that the thousands of results are ALL YOUR PROPERTY.

I repeatedly asked you politely.  You just couldn't stop, though.

Yes Steve , I would like you to forward "these three messages"

Steve, please show me all the compliments besides "ringside description" 

Finally, I'll take this opportunity to correct my "borderline lies", right here and right now.

This is the verbatim, original "Ringside Report" which I wrote to the public Hammond [HAMTECH] list.  Loaded with exaggerations, stretched truths, and generated excitement, it was subsequently retracted. (below) 

Everything that's (bold green) is my admission that I stretched the truth, exaggerated, and lied.  

Like a fool, I did so at the request of of Paul Hombshit, to benefit his popularity - BECAUSE HE ASKED ME TO.  

I apologize again.  I was completely wrong to do this. 

 
A Visit To Keyboard Specialties
B3s live and breathe in St. Petersburg, Florida

Try to imagine the impact of this if you can:  You exit your car, the first thing you see is a radical customized metalflake silver grey 1953 Chevy panel truck (radically trashed). The license plate? "B3 - 122".  Parked 2 spaces away, a Ford Maxi-Van (nearly wrecked) with the license plate "HAMMOND". There's something up around here, no question.

You step into a non-descript commercial building, the only hint being the "B" on the front door ....  the ceiling is around 20' high (maybe 12') - a couple thousand square feet downstairs (more like 1000 square feet), and about half (more like 1/10th) that upstairs. Literally dozens of Leslie cabinets (about 20, total) stacked 2-3 high - 147s, 122s, 145s, some 125 "shortys", and some models most of us have never seen OR heard of (Conn, Wurlitzer, and solid state garbage). Some (1 or 2) complete, some (most) stripped of parts, some in excellent condition, others practically destroyed. Variations which can only be speculated about. A few REALLY old Leslies (REALLY trashed), about 5 feet tall with strange louvres and grilles. Piles of the old Leslie field coil (electromagnetic) 15" speakers (about 3, total). A collection (6) of original Hammond benches piled right up to the ceiling upstairs - even a mint condition bench from the 1940s (including my unused 1973 B3 bench - which Hombshit never paid me for). A dozen or more Hammond console models (2 organs, total), out of their cases, on custom roll-around work benches. (I have a suspicion those "work benches" used to be called "A100s" in years past.) Tone generators, preamps, and manuals everywhere (one of each), in various stages of rebuild, along with another 6 or 7 working "A" (none) and "C" (none) models. An empty C3 case (trashed), a Yamaha CP80 electric grand, (but not anymore, y'all - I bought -that- monster!) (like a fool), a few B3s (1) specifically for rent, a MIDI-B (the same one, the rental organ), with Keyboard Specialties' proprietary velocity-sensitive MIDI system built right into both manuals - not just one. A few token M3s (trashed) and some other "kiddy" sized Hammonds. B2s (none). C2s (none). BCs (none). A dual generator BCV which weighs almost as much as a couple of B3s (45 pounds difference). Bass pedal assemblies from severely thrashed to pristine-new (including my unused 1973 B3 pedals - which Hombshit never paid me for). Custom portable "stealth" cases (1), with (true) and without (false) guts - these cases are so beautiful, a single scratch would break your heart right now. (Jesus, can I exaggerate.  I'm getting sick.) (You gotta see these!) 20 or more (4 or 5) sets of Rol-Or-Karrys. Anvil road cases by the dozen (maybe 8, total), old brown case Wurlitzers (1, trashed), red (none) and black case Wurlitzers (1, working), every variation of Rhodes (1 variation), amps, keyboards, synths by the dozen (maybe 3, total), a few old Hohner D6s (1), Fender Twins (2 or 3) - with JBLs, with stock speakers, with Gauss speakers (the Gauss Twin is my Twin, not Hombshit's.  I refused to loan it to him to rent, just like my clavinets, my synths, and all my other equipment), you name it - the impact of this place can give an average B3 lover a heart attack (or make him run for his life).

If you're a serious keyboard player - and if B3s are what makes your heart tick, you owe yourself a visit to Keyboard Specialties (why not?  Great place to get insulted). The staff (2 of them) at Keyboard Specialties are current or ex-road keyboard players ("players" is a JOKE - they can't play worth dogshit!), and their knowledge of Hammonds, Leslies, and all things "keyboard" is awesome (to some, maybe). I didn't know what to expect when I accepted an invitation to visit (but I found out quickly enough), in fact, I was insulted on the phone (you can believe that). That behind me, I was amazed. It's like a little city (dump) in there - no matter where you turn, you see history before your eyes (or mountains of junk, depending on your viewpoint). The simplest description might be "Total Focus". These guys collectively know things about Hammonds that most players in the world today will never realize (and don't care about, anyway).

Hope you get a chance to see what's going on there (I did - and never returned after 3 short visits).

and in another e-mail Steve wrote the following regarding Keyboard Specialties:  

I was a moron.

It's beyond words, man it sure is. You think about it, and there's at least one of them over there someplace.  It sounds dumb, I'm sure, but I got goosebumps wandering around in the back no heat-it was freezing. I got a great kick out of the old "knuckle busters" - nobody in their right mind would want to play on these keys.... without welder's gloves. Plus you ought to see the work their tech guys do.... One of them had a Leslie amp upside down on the bench, and I swear I've never seen such neat and orderly perfection. The man is a certified fanatic - each lead wire has to be bent, formed, and placed just-exactly-so, or he probably goes home and burns down his neighbor's house! One of the salesmen over there didn't want to talk too loud, or the tech might lose concentration, that's how serious these guys are (by now, my exaggerations are making me sick). But the thing that *really* got me was how the organs SOUND (nearly 10% as good as mine). I played about a dozen different combinations (2 organs, 2 Leslies - total), what they call "Super Stocks" and they all have that magic sound. (Boy can I get going!) (Boy can I lie.  Boy can I try to generate false excitement.  I'm really sorry for all this bullshit.  It won't ever happen again.)

Please show me the "pubic attacks" that originated from me that you were forced to "responded to"!! 

No, Hombshitter - I'll show you what you've been showing me since 1996.  

Sure, send them too, but I wasn't "banned"  For the record I was not "banned" I stop writing and left. 

Is that a fact, paranoid psychotic Hombshit?  A fact "for the record"?  

The list administrater made it perfectly clear I was "not banned but censored from posting emails for a period of ONE WHOLE WEEK" for the crime of " 'copying your entire earlier email and not editing it down to just the most important points and a more managable file size' "  The substance of my message was never an issue to her.  And if it was she never said so to me!  

"for the record", here's another verbatim opportunity to see what a Hombshit LIAR you are.  YOU received this message, along with 700+ other Hammond list subscribers, the same day you were thrown off the group.

        Co-Admin, The Hammond List

Being the Hombshit liar you are, presumably you overlooked mention of the "blatant commercial advertising" and "flaming".  But it was convenient, wasn't it?  It suited your purpose at the moment.

Here is my verbatim PUBLIC RETRACTION to my original "Ringside Report" of Keyboard Specialties (above).  I publicly apologized to 700+ members of the [HAMTECH] Hammond mail group.

To All Hammond Folks,

Just to set the record straight:  No flaming, no trading insults ....

Fact:  I never applied for a job with Paul Homb at Keyboard Specialties.  I *own* my job, and I'm not yet ready to close down my business.  Way back then, when Corey was still alive and my partner - I wasn't *EVEN* gonna close down Canine Training.  Paul was -perfectly- clear about being financially unable to pay me for even the most mundane tasks he thought me capable of.  I never received a nickel from Paul.  In fact, I sold Paul some Leslie parts, and he still owes me about $20 for them. 
(this is another Steve Leigh LIE.  Hombshit promised to pay for an UNUSED 1973 B3 bench, an UNUSED set of 1973 B3 bass pedals, at least 8 UNUSED Leslie cables, 8 UNUSED 122 Leslie adapters, and 6 pristine, unused half moon Leslie switches.  He never paid for them.  Hombshit is a thief, too.)

Fact and Apology:  The "article" I wrote about Keyboard Specialties, while *basically* honest, was written in an attempt to help Paul's popularity.  I apologize publicly to everyone for the exaggerations and the "generated excitement" in my message.  The ACTUAL facts were all "nearly" true, and I would repeat almost all of that original message today ... but in an entirely different way, and without the "excitement factor". 

Fact:  From the day I wrote that "Ringside Report", I have felt that Paul's midi addition was ridiculously overpriced, and far overrated.  Anyone who has seen/played my Hammonds might notice - there are no midi kits installed.  And it's obviously not a money issue, nor a technical problem for me. 

While I may not be a recognized world leader, I'm doing my best.  Again, I'm sorry for stretching the truth and exaggerating about what Keyboard Specialties is all about.

In Steve Leigh's recent post, he under-rated our MIDI product, implying it is over-priced and over-rated in his "honest opinion". Here is an excerpt of what Steve Leigh wrote about our company (prior to our denying him employment with our company).  We hire only the most qualified technicians to work with us.  And it has paid off.  Our instruments can be heard all over the world.  We have dealer's in both Europe and the United States.  Our clients are some of the most demanding professionals in the music business.  The following groups use our velocity-sensitive MIDI in the MIDI-BŪ organs they have purchased from us:  The Rolling Stones, Dire Straits, Tina Turner, Reba McIntyre... or better yet, check out our client list at http://www.b-3.com.  Following are some excerpts of Steve Leigh's visit to our shop in St. Pete (before we denied him employment)...The fact that we didn't hire him wouldn't have anything to do with his "honest opinon", now would it?

Owner/Designer

Plenty more of this is coming.  But meanwhile, let's get back to Hombshit's "condolence" letter, which I interrupted by inserting these other messages in the boxes.  I'm sorry.

And you NEVER wrote a single negative thing about me, my business, or my products from the time of your "ringside description" until my "defense"?  Gee, why do you suppose I needed to write a defense? 

Because I suppose you're sick in the head - and I don't need to "suppose".  I couldn't care less about you, your business, or your products, all of which are totally useless to me.  Maybe you're just too stupid to understand - this is between ME and YOU.  It's PERSONAL.  You went one step too far.  You wrote something about my deceased wife.

It doen't matter WHICH list they were written on Did you or did you NOT write the following?

Steve I sincerely feel for you and the pain you are experiencing.  I do not wish to add to it or wish you any ill but I encourage you to face up to the damage you caused or intended to cause thru the last years if you really do want to do the right thing.  

There's been no damage.  There never was.  I've never done anything to you, except in your own paranoid psychotic hate filled mind.

If your brain cells function at ALL, try to remember WHY I no longer wanted to have anything to do with you. 

YOU started your paranoid psychotic Hombshit hatred with ME, on exactly the same day I bought a Hammond A100 in Tampa, Florida, from a newspaper ad.

YOU called and tried to buy that Hammond, and the woman told you I had just bought it.  I was sitting in her kitchen, eating a sandwich with her, when you called her!  I barely got home, and there you were - on the phone - a screaming paranoid psychotic.

YOU made it perfectly clear every Hammond and Leslie in Tampa was in "your territory".

YOU made it perfectly clear I was obligated to offer that Hammond to you FIRST.

YOU made it perfectly clear that I had no right to buy that Hammond without YOUR approval.

YOU made it perfectly clear "your territory" included the entire state of Florida.

YOU made it perfectly clear that I was a "secret agent", in "competition" with you.

YOU made it perfectly clear I was trying to steal all your "top secret" methods and techniques, which I need like a broken leg.

YOUR 2:00 a.m. paranoid psychotic screaming and berating calls started immediately.  I hung up the phone.  It rang again immediately.  After the 3rd or 4th screaming call, I finally told you to go fuck yourself, and hung up again, Hombshit. 

The next night, the calls started all over.  After awhile, I just stopped answering the phone, and let the answering machine take over.  You even left screaming, paranoid psychotic Hombshit messages ON TAPE.   

FOR YOUR RECORD, I'll buy as many instruments as I FEEL like buying, however, wherever, and whenever I FEEL like buying them.  YOU HAVE NO "TERRITORY", Hombshit, and never did.

sincerely

Paul H.

If YOU didn't cause this, who did?  And if you say "I did, not you" then document it.  

No, asshole - YOU document it.  I've got too much to do.  I'm a widower now - my wife just died.

I meant my reponse sincerely also 

Pure Hombshit.

I never "threatened suicide".  Do you ever tell the truth about anything, Hombshit?  Are you stupid enough to think that if I WAS suicidal that I'd discuss it with a paranoid psychotic like you?

I would have encouraged it instead of trying to talk you out of it.

Could you possibly be STUPID enough to believe that your "encouragement" would mean a thing to me?

Funny that's what my lawyer told me, apparantly you've already considered the possibility- believe me if you HAD anything worthwhile I would have sued you a LONG time ago. 

I have nothing.  The real problem is, YOU have nothing.  You have no GROUNDS to sue me.  I haven't DONE anything to be sued for.  I've expressed my own opinions, and made honest statements.  Except ..... 

I retracted my exaggerations regarding you.

I ADMITTED I LIED, SPECIFICALLY TO HELP YOUR POPULARITY,

BECAUSE YOU ASKED ME TO.

I publicly apologized to over 700 people for doing this.

I've pursued my hobby, and worked on Hammonds whenever I felt like it.  If you don't like that, too bad, asshole.  Go cry to mommy and daddy - and your grandparents, too. 

You don't HAVE a work resume to fill out- you told me you "never held down a real job", in the real world, for a real business, or brought home a real paycheck but instead let your wife work to pay the bills!!!

return to top

NOW you finally crossed over the line. 

I never liked you, Hombshit.  You were a paranoid psychotic in 1995, you're still the same today.

Based on those last TEN WORDS, I finally detest you.

Your paranoid psychotic face finally pushed the wrong button.

 

I never gave a shit how you lied about me.  I just laughed at you, and went on doing what I do.  I went on playing, renting Hammonds, doing tech jobs, rebuilding, training dogs, and living an interesting life.

 

But you don't EVEN talk about MY wife, you disrespectful piece of pigshit.

Try saying it to my face - see what happens.

Let's talk about YOUR wife, asshole, and who SHE supports.  You lay around, whining constantly.  You're a useless-disabled-Hammond-wanna-be-internationally-known-nightmare.  Let's talk about who pays the bills at YOUR pigsty. 

You damn well don't.  You claim you're too "disabled" with those "migraine headaches", which, for all I know, is nothing but a Hombshit act - so your wife can work to pay the bills.  Whose health insurance pays for your drugs and doctors?  Your WIFE'S?  Who "holds down the REAL job" at YOUR dump?  Your WIFE?  

You let your wife work to pay the bills, Hombshit? 

Let's talk about what YOU'RE gonna do when YOUR wife dies.  Will you go running to mommy and daddy?  Gramma and Gramps?  You can always call me.  I can offer you some "help" - just like your "help".  

No job=no resume. That thing you have on line you refer to "as my resume" is just your pathetic hobby history NOT a job resume.

I have no resume on line, and never did.  Rebuilding Hammonds has always been a hobby for Rebecca and me, and I've always said so, from the very first ProKeys page, seven years ago, right up until this second.

Amazing how many people have been happy with our pathetic hobby history work on their Hammonds and Leslies, isn't it?  Generators, manuals, Leslie amps, and scanners have been shipped here here from plenty of places in the US, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands.

People have driven here to deliver their Hammonds and Leslies to our pathetic hobby shop from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Texas, Louisiana.  Then they drive down here again to pick them up.  Maybe our pathetic little part time hobby seems like too much competition for a "disabled-world recognized-international-industry standard leader" like you.  Except I'M not in business.  I'M not in competition.  I never was.  Hammonds have always been a HOBBY for us: my wonderful, loving wife, Rebecca, and me, since 1973, when we tore down my Hammond to repair it, so I could go out and work.

I never asked for a resume from any of the employees who work for me. 

Hombshit.  You did it publicly on a mailing list. (shown above) 

That's when you came to my old shop off Ulmerton Road with your very kool and beautiful dog (Cory?)

You missed your big time chance, Hombshit.  Why didn't you take a swing at or kick "very kool and beautiful" Corey?

Just imagine it, Hombshit .....

In about three seconds, you could have KNOWN FOREVER what a "recognized, disabled, internationally known, industry world leader" really means.  Good, quality dog bites usually result in crushed bones, severed nerves and tendons.  I ought to know - I've spent decades training biting dogs.

They would have heard you screaming in Miami Beach.  If you were stupid enough to fight him, he'd just double the damage.  Think your worthless, disabled ass could deal with ~1800 lbs./square inch of teeth that absolutely loved fighting humans?

I don't think so, Hombshit.  I think we'd have to scrape parts of you off the walls to get you into an ambulance.

and offered "to work for free as long as I work on what I want, when I want".

Not only WON'T I work for free, I owned Canine Training.  I worked.  I earned MONEY.

  In 1996, Canine Training's Yellow Page advertising cost $3,000.00 monthly.  Our total phone bill very often exceeded $4,000.00 monthly.  That's almost $50,000.00 per year. 

  My annual trips to Europe (beginning in 1984) averaged $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 unless I bought dogs.

  Typically, I spent $3,000.00 to $12,000.00 buying new dogs on almost every trip to Germany and/or Holland.

  We lost about $15,000.00 to $25,000.00 of income on each trip to Europe.  I was unavailable to return client's calls. 

  When I went to school in Germany, we spent over $18,000.00 on phone bills. 

  Vets, supplies, and normal maintenance for our 12-20 German Shepherds cost $1,000.00 to $2,000.00 every month. 

  We bought dog food 2000 pounds - one ton - at a time.  That's about $1,200.00 per load.  Depending on the numbers in our pack, that's an approximate average of $10,000.00 annually.   

  Our night lighted training field cost about $250.00 monthly for electric lighting.  When I was in Europe, the electric bill dropped by an average of $300.00 monthly. 

  So far, that's probably 100 times what you paid your "employees" every month, right Hombshit? 

  Our pearl metalflake van's custom paint job was worth as much as your inventory garbage.

  You were trying to get rid of a CP80.  I handed you $2,400.00 cash, and paid for it.  You claim I'd work for FREE? 

Answer this, Hombshit: How could I pay Canine Training's bills if I worked for FREE?  How could I waste my days in your pigsty and maintain Canine Training? 

Are you sick enough to think anybody would ABANDON their established (1981) dog training business to come to your pigsty and play with Hammonds - FOR FREE?

Chris and Robin are witnesses to this 

For the right price, they'd probably swear under oath, in court, that Corey was a zebra.

Corey was a witness to this, too.  So were my six employees.    

as I just checked with them both TODAY to make sure my memory was correct.  

Your "memory" is nothing but a function of convenience.  

They were in the shop that day and both heard you VERY clearly. 

As long as you keep giving them money, they remember anything you want them to remember. 

I'm certain your "employees" can be "witnesses", Hombshit.  For enough money, they'd swear to anything.   

What about the other Paul, Jon Lee, and assorted other "ex-employees"?  Why is it that all their stories are entirely different from yours?  What about the guys that went to work for Joey Donovan?  Their stories don't match up with your stories, Hombshit.

Yes I pay them because they are worth it  

Sure you do.  I bet they both have $2,000,000. homes - undoubtedly paid for, too - courtesy of paranoid psychotic Paul Hombshit.

-but I didn't even hire you when you offered to work "for free"  

I never offered, Hombshit.  You're insane to think I'd drive an hour each way FOR NOTHING.  I'm here to support the gas stations along the way?  And neglect our business?

And thank you for the ONE and ONLY letter you wrote "RINGSIDE". 

It was a stupid mistake.  RETRACTED PUBLICLY.

I didn't need your help then or now YOU are the one ASKING FOR HELP!!! 

Asking for help from YOU?  Are you completely insane?

PROVE IT !!!!! COME ON...... PROVE IT!!!!!! 

Prove THIS, asshole.

If I wasn't empathetic I'd be throwing your own statements back in your face like "who's standing now and who ain't!!!"

That statement was not written by me, and you know that.

I know who wrote it-

See what I mean, Hombshit?  You sure do know exactly who wrote it.  HE SIGNED IT "pda".  

I only used it to PROVE the trouble you where causing with your smear campaign.  

Well, you paranoid psychotic Hombshit idiot

IF YOU KNOW SOMEBODY ELSE WROTE IT,

then how could -I- have caused it - and call it "my own statement" - at the same time?

You "only used it" to PROVE - again - what a paranoid psychotic you really are.

Certainly at the present you are not standing!!!  

You better take another look.

I'm not the one needing public assistance.  

No?  Besides your WIFE supporting you, you need any help you can get. 

You've needed intensive, IN-patient psychiatric help desperately, since my visit to your "disabled-world-recognized-industry-leader-internationally known" pigsty.

Think how me making such a statement to you privately or publicly would make you feel in your present state.  Maybe then you'll know how it made me feel when you said it to me along with all the other statements you encouraged other people to make as you engaged in a coordinated smear campaign against me!!!!  

Sure, asshole.  I held a gun to their heads and said, "write this or you die now", didn't I? 

And don't say it didn't happen.  

It didn't happen.

Maybe you didn't make "dozens" of statements yourself 

No, I sure didn't.  

but there were dozens you were responsible for 

In your paranoid psychotic Hombshit mind, people from around the world call me up to ASK ME what to write about Paul Homb?  If they don't obey immediately, out comes the gun.  Is that how it works?  Why don't you prove it, YOU PARANOID PSYCHOTIC FREAK? 

and certainly many many more "than just three"!!!

You'll get better Steve and I'll be waiting for if you ever start something again

Put your money where your mouth is, Hombshit.

It started with one sentence about my wife. 

You got any balls?  Stop "waiting" - try stepping on my property.

AT LAST a glimmer of TRUTH  !!!!!!

Yes that's why all your customers are now coming to me.  

Not on your Hombshit life.  MY Hammond friends (they're not called customers) absolutely detest you. 

Oh that's right -your business is "only a hobby" so they weren't really customers!!! 

That's exactly right.  A HOBBY.  It was never a business, always a hobby.  A good hobby, too, asshole.  It was something Rebecca and I did together, as a family.  Private, quality time for us, a time to build things together, solve problems together, and do quality work we could be proud of.  We enjoyed every minute of it - together

Our Hammond work was so far superior to your work, you couldn't even dream of competing.

Now that she's no longer living, I'm traumatized, grieving, sick, and depressed. 

You thought you'd take advantage of the opportunity? 

This would be a good time for a new attack on me? 

You made another Hombshit mistake.

This webpage is your reward, Hombshit.

Sincerely
 
PAUL H.
 
PS, The term you are using on your website, "superstockŪ" is my property as a LEGALLY REGISTERED FEDERAL TRADEMARK - please credit it to me correctly or remove it.
 

Prove it.  YOU DO NOT OWN THE WORD SUPERSTOCK.  IT IS NOT YOUR PROPERTY.  SCAN the Federal paperwork, put it on your trash "disabled-international-world-recognized-industry-leader" website, and PROVE IT.

Your kiddy-shit website hasn't even been updated since 1996.  Every page is the same old shit. 

Even your garage garbage sale trash has been the same for years.  You can't even give the shit away.

No Steve you are the only person whose BS I just won't put up with. 

Who cares? 

One of Hombshit's "employees" came up to me at a Hall and Oates concert in St. Pete, FL.  I was the keyboard tech at that job, hired to work on a Goff Professional Hammond and Leslie.   

He told me that Hombshit had intentionally altered the diesel power generator so the Hammond would play flat, below correct pitch. 

I personally adjusted the generator, and asked a security guard keep an eye on Hombshit and the generator, until the concert was over.

Hombshit supplied some drums that day, and stood in the back of a truck, running off his derogatory Hombshit mouth about me. 

I asked the Hall and Oates stage manager NOT to kick the shit out of Hombshit for the generator tampering and the constantly spewing mouth.  The stage manager quietly invited Hombshit out of the truck to settle his issues privately, at a distance far away from the stage area. 

You missed your big chance again, Hombshit. 

Hombshit chose to remain safely in the back of the truck, rather than being left unconscious in a Port-A-Potty. 

Got a little nervous, Hombshit?  Didn't want your teeth knocked down your throat?  Didn't want your face stuffed in a filthy public toilet?

You on the otherhand have lists and lists of people on your web site who you perceive have done you wrong!!!  

If you've had enough GREAT- BUT if you haven't then just let me know  

OK - I'M LETTING YOU KNOW I haven't had enough, HOMBSHIT.  You aren't worth wiping my ass with

Some day - if you ever get any balls - come right over and experience some legal process I have for you.  I'd like to show you the ULTIMATE "trespasser test".

I'VE HAD JUST ENOUGH TO LET ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED SEE WHAT A PARANOID PSYCHOTIC HOMBSHIT IS.

MY WIFE RECENTLY DIED, HE CALLED HERE OFFERING HIS FAKE "CONDOLENCES",

FOUND I WAS TRAUMATIZED, AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED THAT

WITH HATE MAIL MESSAGES AND HATE PHONE CALLS. 

MESSAGE AFTER MESSAGE - CALL AFTER CALL.

DRAGGING UP 1996 WAS HOMBSHIT'S REAL AGENDA. 

THE FAKE "CONDOLENCES" WERE JUST A WAY TO GET ME ON THE PHONE.

RETURN TO PROKEYS

HOMBSHIT'S STEALTH comedy BOX

 

These are pictures of Hombshit's incredible, astounding, disabled-internationally recognized-world industry leader invention.

A cheap comedy box for a Hammond organ.

It's so uniquely amazing, so far superior to any other box, it's even allegedly TRADEMARKED. 

It's called HOMBSHIT'S STEALTH COMEDY BOX

(ATTENTION!  URGENT LEGAL NOTICE:  Next time you see the word "STEALTH", don't forget that the United States Government checks with Hombshit first, to see if he will grant them permission to use the word "STEALTH".)

It was my opinion (laughingly shared by every other person who happened to see this cheap contraption) that the box was designed by a maniac.  Removable top and back pieces didn't fit together properly, the folding legs were ridiculous and weighed far more than the box.  Folded, they resembled scrap metal.  The handles were garbage, details of case layout, especially connectors and hardware were completely hysterical.  The cut-rate "Leslie switch connector" had us in convulsions, laughing.  The cheap plastic "volume pedal" had us laughing for two weeks.  I'd rather own a strong cardboard box and a roll of gaffer's tape.

The comedy began with the fact that this Hombshit STEALTH COMEDY BOX Hammond happened to be inside our pathetic hobby shop.  It came in for new GOFF Professional caps, bussbar clean and lube, GOFF Professional shock mounts, and a ProKeys generator and scanner rebuild.

The comedy continued with the GOFF Professional generator cap kit and 12 filters, installed by my wife, Rebecca.  Rebecca was a professional hobbyist, or a hobbyist professional - you take your pick.  Anyway you look at it, our pathetic hobby shop earned well over $1,600.00 for our pathetic hobby work on this job.

And then the comedy ended abruptly. 

We told the owner of this organ to get it out of here. 

Take it back to the internationally recognized-disabled-world industry leader, Hombshit

Our responsibility started and ended with the work we agreed upon. 

We refused to repair what Hombshit wrecked - let him do it himself.

HOMBSHIT'S FAN MESSAGES

in the following, color coding only shows RED for Hombshit's words

At 12:35 AM 4/22/98 -0300, you wrote:

No - you're making (another) Paul-sized mistake.  You didn't deny me employment - you simply had no MONEY to pay me.   I was never - and still am not - ready to devote my full time to Hammonds.

What I "wrote" about your "company", Paul, was nearly the truth.  But I never wrote that your midi kit was worth what you ask for it, and I never wrote that I'd like to own it.  Honestly, I think it's overrated, overpriced, and for most players - nearly useless.  You're welcome to search thru your archives and find a place where I said any different.

I exaggerated my "report" about Keyboard Specialties, because I was trying to be YOUR friend.  I listened to YOU, and sympathized with YOU, about all the problems YOU have with other Hammond people in the business, especially XX XXXX.   In a short time, I learned that being your friend is not what I want to do, and that was brought about entirely by YOU, and YOUR demands and expectations.  

>We hire only the most qualified technicians to work with us.

Without any question, Robin is very, very good at what he does.  Maybe someday I'll be as good, maybe not - but regardless - I'm doing my best at what *I* do.

>Following are some excerpts of Steve
>Leigh's visit to our shop in St. Pete (before we denied him employment)...The
>fact that we didn't hire him wouldn't have anything to do with his "honest
>opinon", now would it?

No, it had nothing to do with my opinion.  As I wrote above, you didn't deny me employment.  Even if you can't be honest with the entire Hammond list, you ought to be honest with YOURSELF.  We both know you weren't ready OR able to buy me away from Canine Training, and I can't (and won't) afford to work for you for free. 

The reward of discrediting me to the Hammond list is actually a punishment.  I have received a lot of email about you, and it isn't good.  You must derive some satisfaction out of setting up your little scenarios, and trying to degrade other people, but in my case, Paul - it won't work.  I'm doing the things I'm interested in, and I will continue to do them, even though you feel I'm competing with you.  Your words only show what a hateful, spiteful person you really are.

Interesting.
Um, so who is still standing,
