In reply to M. Ted. The moral obligation stems from the fact that Sandy Patton of Folk Legacy took the trouble, and made the investment to re-issue all these classics in CD format, with exactly people like me in mind who already own them in the cassette format. I assume he is doing it to make money as he is well entitled to do. My problem is that at present I am unable to make an expenditure of $2,250 that it would cost me to replace all my cassette titles with his newly re-issued CDs. It is sort of the feeling you get when you are used to dealing with your friendly neighborhood grocery store whose owner is part of your community and all of a sudden Walmart comes in and sells the same groceries for 75% less. Sure, you have no contractual obligation to your grocer and the 75% you are saving can be used for some other essential product or service that your family desperately needs. However, every time you pass your neighborhood grocer you are going to feel some sort of a twinge in your heart. Call it guilt or any other term you want to. Same thing here. Sandy Patton is like family in our tightly knit Folk Music community and the software used to convert cassettes to CDs is like Walmart. I can find no other way to express it better.
