Hi guys!!

Geeeze -- I cannot BELIEVE it has been two weeks since I posted on this thread. The current situationis as follows:

1. I have received (as you can tell from above) scores of wonderful songs on tapes, CDs, email, and MD disk.

2. I am slowly assembling them into a large collection of MP3s choosing one or two songs from each submitter. I have a list of all the materials submitted almost completed and when i have completed the list I will publish it.

3. My rate of progress slowed dramatically in mid-June because my discretionary time got sharply clipped with a collision with the real world or two -- see the post of 6-16 above.

4. When I have all the candidate songs selected and have the "Selection Committe"'s concensus on them I will then take steps to produce the three or more disks this will entail. See the back-stream of this and its antecedent threads for discussions of options.

5. I am still waiting for a few cuts from people who were working on them -- don't pretend you don't know who you are!! :>) .

6. The sequence of steps is pretty much as outlined at the top of this thread and the top of the previous three on this topic but the schedule may have to slip a bit. I'll let you know as soon as I have my spare time back again, and this project is my top priority once the work stuff is cleared away.

Feel free to PM or e-mail me if you have any questions about it!

And let me add that there are some real humdingers in the material you have sent in and I am really impressed with all the great musicmaking in Mudcat land. Thanks again for all the energy you've shown on this project!! I am sorry for the delays but I will get it back to speed as soon as I can.

Talk to you soon,

Amos
