To list members and others
so after receiving complaints from people on the list about the volume of
posts about this subject, I decided to help get everybody organized and take
it off-line by simply aggregating everyone's email addresses and starting a
distribution list. Now all of a sudden the lack of posts is taken as a proxy
for lost enthusiasm? That's kinda ridiculous.
I have just sent out to all interested parties (except you Kevin, you have to
see why your email keeps bouncing or send me a new address) an address where
to send tapes, a plan for voting on tracks, and a time frame with which we can
reasonably expect to receive tracks and vote on them.
Until the tracks are selected, it is kind of pointless to do anything else.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it only worthwile to compile the bios of
the people who actually will be represented on the compilation? I sent a
little mail to DJ Herb about what preparatory work he could do for web site
creation, but it's not all that much. And before we start dreaming of
distribution deals etc. we need to get the music down in raw form.
So is there really a lack of enthusiasm? I highly doubt it. All interested
parties are hopefully happy now, busily working away on their music so they
can get it back to me by the March 10 deadline - so I can compile it onto
tapes and get it back to them ASAP for voting. It will take a few weeks to
compile everything and vote on that, so don't expect any major news until
April.
Can we please return to the regularly scheduled programming? None of the
participants are worried about anything going wrong, and the list as a whole
should be confident that something (who knows what) will definitely come out
of the initial flurry of responses to this topic.
Furthermore, if my say means anything - I would appreciate it if we keep the
amount of public posts on the topic to a minimum, we don't want to play it out
by musing over it. I was hesitant to even send a reply to the list on this
topic but after seeing the beginnings of a thread I really wanted to just snip
it now.
Patience.....
