I've been asked by Bruce to post the following here.   I'll leave out the expletives that preceded the words wireless, laptop and accessing Mudcat and let you all just imagine the right ones.
LOL


Yer tis in HIS words

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


1) Please be nice to each other

2) Thank you all for your help on this project

3) By the end of September "MotH" will be receiving play on about 20 stations in US, UK and Canada

4) The business of music has changed a great deal since vinyl. (Tape was a stop-gap measure, imo.) Many record labels are going t/u because they no longer understand the business they're in. I have offered the CD for preview with the possibility to use it under their label if they are interested. But my 'wide-eyed days' are done with. When it comes to business they want to risk whatever they do for a return on their investment. I will not be qiving it away to any company. They will have to demonstrate to me in contract form that they intend to promote the thing and that's that. Otherwise, no thanks. I made an offer to one smaller company that is facing some tough times--as are smaller companies everywhere. Haven't even received a reply. So, even if I got a reply at this point, I'd politely decline.

IMO, without songwriters there would be NO music on radios or TVs, and certainly none in stores or available on the i'net. I have not felt nor will I ever feel again that I have to come bowl in hand and ask, "Please, sir, may I have some more?" All journeys start somewhere. This one for me started when I saw Ron again. With the encouragement of many folks on this thread the CD came to be. So please, no arguing with each other. OK?

Luv the gang of you.

Bruce
