Hmmm...For someone who wants this thread shut down, Stormin' Norman's sure got a lot to say...
Not really. More like 'very little to say but using lots of words to say it.'

Why would some PUBLISHING company want their customer to pay them 2700 dollars?
From a cursory spin though the link posted by Andrez it seems, to me at least, that at least some of the money is spent on international jaunts by the likes of Barry and Norman; nice work if you can get someone else to pay for it.

I also got the impression from that site that folks performing in blues, roots and other forms of "folk" music and lore would not be AMMA's cup of tea.

Mudcat performs yet another vital community service.
