    Hell, half the time I don't trust the postal service here in the US! I was
    trading some videos with a guy and they just vanished. I had them insured
    and the whole shebang. Put a track on them, and I still haven't seen them.
    This has been a couple years, too. I lost my ass (sort of). It was about
    $70 worth of KISS boots! : ( But I did get a cool limited edition poster
    just for the whole fiasco, and still had the original copies of the boots!!
    : )

    I hear Bumphuc is quite nice this time of year!! : ) BTW, I absolutely
    agree with you on this one. I just think that the whole MP3 thing is
    inevitable, and whether we like it or not, it's gonna be fact soon enough.
    As soon as a band/label gets the idea, then it will happen, and I would
    imagine it could be fixed in such a way that the bands wouldn't lose money,
    anymore than they already do from taping CD's. I mean, you have to pay
    fees to get into certain sites as it is. If the band was to have their own
    individual site to distribute the MP3, for a monthly fee, they could
    conjure up enough interest on-line to make more money off of it. As long
    as the medium of Cd's and tapes doesn't get totally eradicated. I'm sorry,
    I would much rather invest my money in new music than in new computer
    doodads!! It tends to be cheaper.

    Message-ID: <001401be60a9$8dacbc80$930ea8c3@h6d7z8>

    Hey guys,

    don't think it's as easy to buy CDs in other countries as it's
    in USA. In other countries, people don't have Visa or Mastercard
    or whatever. It is hundreds times harder to get stuff you like.
    Therefore, many people want to hear at least one-two full songs
    in MP3 and they will buy album. They can't spend money on
    "unknown" things. Well, if they are Dream Theater fans, allright,
    it's obvious they'll buy the next album but what if they haven't
    heard Fates Warning or King Crimson or LTE or whatever? Sorry,
    but 30-sec spots, like on Amazon, or Musicblvbd ain't enough. Also,
    it's not just 15-20$. Would you spend 100$ for something you don't know
    what exactly is that music about? By the way, it's not my
    problem, just wanna tell you not to bitch at everybody who wants to
    hear some MP3's. I agree that artists deserve every dime they get.
    Except... hmmm, Backstreet Boys, N-Sync, Spice Girls, ... :-))))

    Let Dream Theater surround you,
    Martin

    I know this is quite stupid to say, but I'm more fond of white blues! :)

    It's just that I LOVE Cream/Eric Clapton, SRV, Johnny Winter (Amen to the jammer who mentioned him :), Allman Brothers, Paul Butterfield, and all these make a little

    than those blues antics.

    Hats off to B.B. King, for best live blues performance - "Outside Help"! It gives me chills. Also what was that blues stuff from him on the Blues Brothes 200 soundtrack, awesome blues stuff!!! :)

    While the roots are really in those old blackmen simple blues songs, I happen to be more fond of "It's not my cross to bear", "Whipping Post", "Riviera Paradise", "I'm so glad" ...

    And people, don't forget Mr. JOHN MAYALL, the father of so many famous white blues men!!! :) And oh, oh - Fleetwood Mac, Gary Moore, .... and ..... CHRIST .... none mentioned the blind dude

    JEFF HEALEY (I love this guy)

    OK, I take my lexilium and shut up for now, -- CyberDuke

    P.S. Some Zappa fan here around except Alan Estrada??? :) Does anyone has MP3 of Zappa live performance of "Whipping Post" (Allman Brothers cover). This is the best cover I ever heard!!! Please, if you have it, e-mail me!!! Thanks

    P.P.S Thanks to all for the reply on Neil Peart solo album! I got some 5, 6 replies of them! :) Gotta love this list! :) Yo Skadz, what's up man? ;)

    A tad inconvenient if you happen to own more than one MP3 player - then you'd have to buy a copy of the file for home, a copy for the car, a copy for the office....

    But, to run with that idea a little, how about this addition: Make it so if the file is copied, that encrypted information doesn't go with it. Then the devices are set up to only allow unencrypted files to be played 3 times, and then they are disabled. This would allow someone to make a copy for a friend, but still require the friend to buy a copy if he likes the song (Unless he wants to keep getting new copies of it. I'm sure some people would do that, but most would buy their own just for convenience sake).

    Friday Night in San Francisco(Al di Meola, Paco deLucia & John Mclaughlin) is a MUST! They shred all over the place, one of my favorite records ever. I would suggest checking out Paco deLucia's Anthologia also. Also worth checking out are Agustin Castellon "SABICAS", Mario Escudero, Juan Serrano, Paco Pena, Carlos Montoya, James Fawcett, Peter Evans, Manolo Sanlucar, Serranito, Ottmar Leibert (though some don't like him) and I'm sure I missed a couple really big names, but that should get him going.

Look, this whole idea will fail for the same reason copy protection failed. Every way (short of dongles, and those are far to expensive to use for distributing music) is easily broken (ie any dumb-ass kid can do it) and inconvient to the point of not being worth the trouble. -Andy Putman
