Harpgirl, SHAME on you! Haven't you read all the signs saying "Please don't feed the folksingers. It only encourages them!"

Kendall (if you're still on her doorstep). Regarding the "custom CD" situation. Several of us are in the same situation, having older albums on cassette and vinyl (Edison cylinders for the VERY old ones) that folks ask for occasionally. From talking to some folks it seems that purchasing a CD burner is one heck of a good investment. It shouldn't take long to make back the initial outlay, and it also makes it viable to tape your best live performances and make them available pretty quickly.

I have several old albums that aren't really appropriate for either Borealis or Folk-Legacy, being kind of Western Swing/Folk/Country etc. but when I'm playing a more mainstream venue (convention, County Fair, Old Folks Home etc) are quite reflective of what my repertoire is in those places. I'm splitting the cost of the CD pressing equipment with a Rock music friend of mine, and we'll share it. It's worth looking into.
