Dear Mudcat:
The announcement/s posted in my name Jan 12 & 19, 2000 were neither written nor posted by me, even though my name was used to sign it/them. I was unaware of both this Mudcat.org posting, and of a parallel one at the site "HedyWest@Hotmail" which was set up by an enthusiastic young friend whose judgement failed him. I was dumbfounded that he was writing and receiving mail as if he were I. The information posted is thoroughly incorrect. I am extremely sorry that people must have been misled.
A provisional project begun with that young friend at Larkspur displeased me extremely when I became aware of its poor technical quality, and of my young friend¹s misleading and hucksteresque approach. Larkspur will not produce or sell my recordings. I am in the process of rewriting liner notes and digitally remastering them with care at Masterwork Recording, Inc in Philadelphia. When they are ready I plan to issue them on TraceChain Recordings. TraceChain¹s website will be: www.TraceChain.com/
A bright part of this false start has been seeing the interest and activity of the readers of Mudcat Forum.
Best wishes to you all,
Hedy West 440 Righters Mill Road Penn Valley, Pennsylvania 19072-1441 HedyWest@aol.com (& for a while longer: HedyWest@hotmail.com)
