Hi Ric,

The problem you said is that it is affecting too to all the chain, on my
case I'm importer and distributor of classical music and for this music is
less usual the internet downloading, anyway the market becomes more
difficult and I would like have the money too for buy a M8!, anyway there
are no easy markets neither easy business in our days.

Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

Hey Daniel--

The recording companies are the biggest thieves of artist income.  
Creative bookkeeping and a near monopoly on distribution have preyed  
on musicians for DECADES.

Their main fear about downloaders and the Internet is that artists  
will build a way to market themselves directly to the listener,  
bypassing the industry's milking of the monetary chain.

Rant over.

The mention of Bromberg (I'm a big fan) brought to mind these shots I  
fell into in 2003. I was trolling for photos while there for a  
convention. Stumbled across David Bromberg's fiddle shop there.
