"And if your intent was to stall the momentum of the campaign and prevent 
the worldwide release of Pocket Full of Soul, you may have been successful 
... only time will tell."

I don't know much about the references to "negativity" and such apparently 
directed at the producers of this film. Something about objections to 
wanting the rights to artists original works for free and for perpetuity. As 
I understand it this was reversed when the producers were made aware of how 
bogus an idea that is or something like that.  I don't have a dog in this 
hunt but when this issue was first raised there were some who defended the 
producers as simply being ignorant of the way royalties and the like work 
which seemed a bit disingenuous to me but sure anything is possible.  Having 
said that the quote above sounds a bit paranoid to me and rather calls into 
question some possible character issues.  I mean who would benefit from this 
film having it's release delayed or not being released at all?  I've never 
heard of any competion in the harmonica documentary field but then perhaps 
there is some big money floating around that I'm not aware of that the mob 
or the Russians are trying to corner.  Maybe a Kickstarter campaing for 
aluminum hats is in order. Just saying.





Thanks Jerry
