   About vailcode
Vailcode is the brainchild of one Sam Vail, Esq.. A guitar player since the age of five, Sam formed his first band (whose name he no longer remembers) in middle school and played All Along The Watch Tower at the talent show. Though it may not have been the definitive version of the song, it was a prophetic choice, and Sams life has been a long, strange trip ever since. Sam Vail is and has been one of the most respected musicians in the Detroit area, having done his time in many area bands throughout his college days and beyond among these, Pillagers Pipe, described by Sam as uh, yeah that was a biker rock thing Next. He soon after joined Rooster, which allowed him to play in every conceivable Detroit venue from the venerable St. Andrews Hall to the enormous Pine Knob to the insipid Paychecks. A respected band, they toured twelve states, opening for Peter Frampton and just about every Jr. musician one could ever hope to name in a trivia game: Junior Brown, Bobby Bare Jr., Hank Williams Jr., Jr., Joan Jett you get the picture. The experience and reputation gained with Rooster led Sam to join forces with a pair of very talented and acclaimed Detroit area musicians, Bob Ebeling and Mark Ephraim, to form Baker. Baker was widely seen as makers of pop masterpieces, and Sams friendship and working relationship with Bob and Mark led to stints in Ebeling Hughes and Shining Dying. While working on these projects, Sam learned to hone not only his playing, but also his studio and production skills. He began collaborating with all manner of Detroits music elite, either recording them or simply jumping right in and playing along to add his singular guitar styling. Thus his work can be heard on everything from the Glasspacks acid-fried stoner-rock frenzy, where he played bass, to his guitarisms on Ethan Daniel Davidsons more folk-styled records. He was an integral player in Small Stone Records upcoming Rustbelt Sessions, a musical free-for-all-ad-lib gathering of the Monsters of Stoner Rock. Singularly, though, in partnership with professor Ross Westerbur, Sam showed his considerable songwriting skill. Together as the Moonlighters, Ross and Sam produced an as of yet untitled album, which if never released will constitute the single largest criminal act in Detroit music history. A gorgeous piece of Americana meets Beatle-icana, bootleg CD burns are legendary among Detroit music scenesters, and they, you might remember, discovered the White Stripes, so you see what were getting at. As Vailcode, Sam Vail has finally decided to get off the pot, per se, and go it alone. The results are staggering. Stylistically similar to the Moonlighters, Vailcode is nonetheless much more ambitious in its scope. Sams production abilities allow him to take chances with arrangements that other songwriters might not dare to take, so that songs become soundscapes, sounds become songscapes, if you will. Imagine Big Star as played by Radiohead on the Stones equipment, and you may begin to get a picture. This, to us, Sams more cynical contemporaries, is reason to get up in the morning and cheer. Yeah.

Hi babe,

so sorry for that I must have told you the wrong one.

That's right because I tried that one a good while ago as well, the one I gave you, and it made me all angry because they were bad, and they didn't pay too good either they handed outlike tickets and stuff instead of money.

But anyways, the correct site is

U L T R A 1 2 . C O M

it's the one I am making $900 a week with putting in about 22 hours a week, sometimes up to like 35 hours if I'm motivated.

Once you get your password make sure you sign up with with the companies on page one in the private section because they are the ones that pay you the most, I got $65 for one that took me 45 minutes the other day. You'll see what I'm talking about when you start.

Laura started taking them too and she's cashing $750 a week, it's making me so jealous because I'm the one that stold her which one to subscribe with now she's making lots more than me.

Well me and Blake are getting ready to leave, just give me a call or I'll see you on here and let me know if you have any questions.
bye now
