Chuck Nessa

So What.

Real easy to say if you don't have to pay the band or publishing royalties.

And I'll be curious to hear a reasonable justification for the term of copyright in the United States. If you, your daddy, your granddaddy, etc buy some property (like a house), they can pass it on to you and your children and their children, etc. If Charlie Parker (any other artist) creates something (almost out of thin air), the rights are limited. The folks who finance this creation is limited as well. So physical property trumps ideas. That sucks.

I'm now lost for words. Chew on these words for a while, Chuck: Les Baxter (March 14, 1922–January 15, 1996) Baxter also wrote the "Whistle" theme from the TV show Lassie. As he once told Soundtrack! magazine, "I never turn anything down!". In the 1960s, he formed the Balladeers, a besuited and conservative folk group that at one time featured a slim and youthful David Crosby. When soundtrack work reduced in the 1980s, he scored music for theme parks and SeaWorlds. BOY, that put me in my place!

Don't worry Chuck. I like the "good" stuff too. Still hoping to find some Nessa vinyl (sadly I don't have any). I can sell you a few.

Don't want to "get lucky" - never have been and it would probably kill me. She was a fine musician, but........................

Just for some context, see http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...c=42618&hl= May be fun for you. I file complaints about 2 times a week to file sharing services.

Get a grip man!

Just to give some context (not a defense of RIAA - just an example) today I found a "blogger" offering my recording of Roscoe Mitchell's "Snurdy McGurdy". The links were posted last August. The download site says "383 downloads" and I guarantee I have had less than 50 sales in that time period. How can companies like mine survive in this atmosphere? I lose money and Roscoe loses money. Why should any of us continue?

Happy birthday. How about gifting us my posting more often.

I'll come back for the cassettes tomorrow night.

From the hairline, I guess Henry Grimes. Ask Henry or Margaret.

All I recall was a '70s lp on Desto (I think). Seemed interesting enough but not enough to go on a quest. Please tell me more.

If we are REAL MEN!

No disrespect but do we have to go to your site to see if you are "legit"? You have never joined us in dialogue, etc. If you are serious, you might pay some respects to the members here and THEN reap the rewards of clicks on your site.

So "moderators" don't tell us they edited their posts!

remember paragraphs Larry? Hard to read all that.

that makes sense. That's what I'm here for..............

Have you tried playing the Collins cd backwards?

Nice to see Dick Wang getting "props" from all.

A copy arrived today from Amazon.

Nothing but the best wishes for the new year.
