seanfingh Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I apprenticed under JJ. The only pay I received was him occasionally singing messages on my cell phone voice mail. It was totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell F Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Way too many of us worked under JJ I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell F Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Also I wish I had a recording of the time JJ sang Purple Rain for me. Was a special night for sure. Now I cant get him to return a phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can't believe none of us said that. If you are a CAW then you cannot witness the signatures on any of your books. So if you are the only CAW at a show then your books cannot be done.

Turtle Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I have never tried, but I thought it was very difficult (if not impossible) to become a CGC witness these days. MUCH easier now than it used to be. Before the rule change in 2010, I could just about count all the non-employee witnesses on my fingers and toes. Now, everybody and their mama seems to be a CAW or a facilitator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceanavekid Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Just wondering this myself. I called CGC about it, they replied they need to know me. Ok. We do not have enough facilitators here in Sacramento. (In my opinion anyways.) 100% agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think this is a common sense thing. I never "knew" for sure but figured this would be how its done. If it wasn't, it'd be a huge conflict of interest. Plus I'd figure the boards here would have a really long complaint thread about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Before 2010 the original witnesses had the ability to witness signatures anywhere, anytime and on any books. It has only been a little over four years that the new rules have been in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
