In April 1999, Dombrovski briefly returned to Wilmington, DELAWARE, U.S.A.; spent time in New York City, NEW YORK, U.S.A., in May 1999; was in TARGET STUDIOS in MARYLAND, U.S.A., cutting the drum track for vocalist/instrumentalist Mario Padovani's "It Would Be So Easy" in June 1999; spent more time with Padovani in TARGET STUDIOS in July 1999; and returned home to Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., near the end of July 1999, where Dombrovski has been ever since.
DOMBROVSKI: Like I said earlier, I had a lucrative consulting position back in Wilmington, DELAWARE, U.S.A., from April 1997 through April 1998. When I returned to Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., in September 1998, I was a little TOO generous with certain associates, so when a couple of business opportunities didn't come through in time, I ended up with a serious cash flow problem. I had some tax refund cash come my way in April 1999, so I returned to DELAWARE to seek shelter with the sympathetic who knew me well and cut my losses.
DOMBROVSKI: While I was living in DELAWARE, I visited New York City, NEW YORK, U.S.A. I would take a GREYHOUND bus from Wilmington, DELAWARE, to New York City. It's about a two-and-a-half hour ride one-way. New York City is cool. I liked being there and contrasting New York City with Los Angeles.
DOMBROVSKI: Yeah, Mario Padovani was back in TARGET STUDIOS cutting a song entitled "It Would Be So Easy" in May 1999. I was there at the studio several times just observing the proceedings. Mario liked to use me as an outside ear, and he respected my musical opinion. I played and recorded real drums to the tune "It Would Be So Easy" on June 8, 1999. I was in the studio a couple more times after that with Mario. I was glad Mario was still doing his music. I was happy to help.
DOMBROVSKI: While I was in DELAWARE, U.S.A., some cash owed to me came my way and with that money I left Wilmington, DELAWARE, on July 22, 1999, to return to Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A. Most everything I owned was already in storage in Los Angeles, so I wasn't leaving with a lot of cargo. I traveled coast to coast in my truck.
DOMBROVSKI: I arrived in Los Angeles on July 26, 1999. I've lived here ever since. I've spent most of my time educating myself about the contractual problems affecting me, which I discovered in March 1998. Like I said, I know music, not the law. It's very easy signing your rights away, but it's not so easy getting them back. It takes time.
