The Compilation Disc

["MaryLarryCarleighReilly Pratt" <mlpratt@xxxxxxx>]

I'm writing this on my own.  Don't blame Scorcher for the bandwidth.  Past
Harp-L compilations included anywhere from 50 to 75 songs by individual
contributors.  These are great compilations of players from across the
harmonica spectrum.

I just got a note saying that the number of contributors to this current
multi-online group (Harp-L, HarpTalk and Slidemeister) compilation effort is
7.  In my mind this "apparent" lack of interest brings into question the
viability of the project.  I appreciate Scorcher's efforts to pull this off
as well as his efforts to "save the bandwidth" online.  But I think its time
to open it up online.  Some people may need to be reminded and cajoled into
contributing.

Maybe we should start with a small discussion of why people are not
responding.  Over 90 people expressed an interest, only 7 have contributed
and only 5 pre-paid to purchase the CD.  What's up with that?

We will all lose, as a community, if this effort falls apart.

Best Regards to All,
