Thread Name: Camsco Music - why we post
Subject: RE: Camsco Music - why we post
Yeah Wally, that is all fine. But I think I would feel better about Camsco if I saw some of the same grace that Sandy uses. I am sorry to offend, I really don't want cause a stir. But I must point out to you, sir, that I have noted on several occasions that Sandy has posted praise for you, or tried to assist you. Once he even made a suggestion with regard to Frank's new CD that would have benefitted you more than him. Not once have I seen a "thanks" back or even a reply with the exception of one which I deemed to be made in a snide fashion. I think the reason that Sandy is so well recieved here is that he came and he contributed mightily and never tried to take advantage. Even though he was urged to by many of us. Most of us view this gentleman as full of grace and one of the cornerstones of the folk revival. Because of your business relationship with the Mudcat Cafe, we would like to hold you in good regard as well. But for myself, I am going to have to see a bit more in the way of contributing, as well as the attempts to promote the label.

I know that these comments will seem harsh to some, and I apologize for discomfort caused by them. I do not know Wally MacNow personally, and I am sure he is a lovely person. I have no reason to doubt his credentials either. My comments are made strictly on what I have seen here. I also do not understand why Camsco would get any kind of preference over Folk Legacy. My support for the 'Cat and what it has become is well known. My gratitude to Max is undying. But I have become a bit uncomfortable with what I perceive to be occurring.

All the best,

Big Mick
