I've heard from Max, and he sounds excited about the Mudcat CDs and can't wait to see what we got. The disks should be with CAMSCO tomorrow, I hope. Dick Greenhaus has been named as Da Man for setting the price points. I'll talk to him about it soon.

This has been a remarkable project because it has been entirely voluntary, and has sprung up from the grass-roots of the Mudcat, and self-organized into something that works. Michaelr is wrestling with the inserts, several people have stepped forward to address the UK distribution issue, others have chimed in to offer help from every side.

It reflects, to me, on the remarkable nature of this community, and by extension, on the strange chemistry of time, song, and personality that seems to manifest itself in the hearts of those who Sing the Old Music. They are indeed a breed apart.

Thank you all very very very much! For helping, for encouraging, of course -- but most of all, for singing on!! That's the real gold, the real karma, and the biggest value in the world, a safeguard in mad times and a promise of better ones ahead for every generation who hears it and understands. Sing on, never stop singing on.
