Re: Do we need Publishers?

[Tski1128 <Tski1128...>]

All of us who have sold CD's have first hand knowledge of how much money goes 
back to the creative person, musician or author, when handled by various 
distributors.  We are a very small nitch market. Publishers will always make 
a decision based on what is potentially profitable. Not what's needed, 
beneficial, or even loved by a market. Josh has some 78's that I would like 
to hear, I'd pay $30+ dollars for a CD with stuff that he thinks is important 
and isn't available. I know the cost of small run CDs isn't cheap. Josh put 
together the CD and some music take some orders do a limited prepaid run. 
I'll be the first to buy it, as will lots of fellow listers. We cannot let 
the machine stop the flow of information.
