For decades, a singer/songwriter/entertainer, I am completely lacking in marketing, promotion, and business skills. I have, at no time, entertained any notion of acquiring the remastered Blind Blake albums for any commercial purpose. Frankly, I would love to see a capable person or firm mastermind a venture that could handle the copying and sales of the Blake material for the benefit of his estate. As it has been my sad personal experience to know far too many monumentally talented artists who have never been properly rewarded for their work, it strikes me as tragic that a talent as wonderful as Blake Higgs died without ever gaining the recognition or remuneration that he certainly earned. Based on the number of responses that are already posted to my original message, I am fearful that I might not be able to handle the demand that may be out there for the CD we are working on here. As I said previously, I am not sure how soon the finished product will be in my hands; however, I will investigate the best way for interested parties to contact me and make an effort to accomodate their requests. Meantime, if anyone has solid information regarding a way to handle this material in some commercial capacity, I would be grateful for any advice on the subject.
