In the last 11 years of my life I've been lucky to be associated with two record companies that really DO try to put performers first (no matter how much "product" they sell). In both cases the owners (Sandy and Caroline Paton of Folk-Legacy, and Grit Laskin and Bill Garrett of Borealis) have had longggg track records of being honourable people and respected members of the folk community. That helps immeasurably when signing contracts.

I'm putting this into the other related thread, 'cause I HAVE been "stiffed" in the past, and foolishly signed on some "Dotted Lines" that I shouldn't have.
