Subject: RE: Getaway 2005 Shanty Singer ID
I've written a preliminary PM to Charley about my understanding of the fine points of distributing people's Getaway recordings but am also checking it out with various FSGW people just to be sure.
The quick general answer, which is only my opinion at this point, is that if anyone wants to distribute (free, or at cost, or to benefit Mudcat and/or FSGW) any recordings made at the FSGW Getaway, you just need to have the singer's documented permission; a PM or e-mail should do. As a courtesy it may be a good idea to let them hear an MP3 of the recording before asking them to OK it!
If I hear any differently, I'll let everyone know what I learn.
