Damn it, Max is NOT hustling for the greenback dollar! He's trying to find a way to keep the Mudcat afloat for all of us. I find Gargoyle's comment unworthy of consideration.
Sure, I run a small folk music label that stands to benefit from the Mudcat Shop enterprise, but please understand that my label has never really paid it's own way. I could try to put out more commercially viable stuff, I suppose, but that's not what I'm interested in doing with my life. Caroline and I have been fortunate in that we could always supplement our income with performances, just as Max subsidizes the Mudcat with his other work. Neither Max nor Folk-Legacy have been exactly overwhelmed with orders entered through the shop, and I doubt that Wally has been, either.
I think Gargoyle owes Max an apology!
