We've become used to the generosity of fellow mudcatters (although to read some posts you'd think it was a Nigerian e-mail scam site!)and I've been the recipient of much sage advice and recordings etc.
However, it is nice to know that the outside world is sometimes as "nice". I have had some frustrations with bands not answering e-mails (why offer the facility on their website then?), seemingly not interested in selling their CDs or responding to gig inquiries.
A pleasant recent exception prompted these ramblings: I asked Brian Green, veteran South London "trad" band leader (his band were resident at the Millennium Dome if you went there) whether his two "skiffle" albums were still available. I got a friendy e-mail back to say they weren't but he had some unreleased tracks he'd been thinking of cutting to CD. Hey Presto a CD arrived, (one of a limited edition of 12 - but complete with proper (signed) insert) AND he said he wouldn't cash my cheque till he was sure I liked it.
What a gent!
