Dennis - please don't feel guilty! When I first started this idea I intended it to be me doing all the work and now it appears as though I won't be needed for any of it. Frankly, its getting a bit out of hand. > Here's the deal: > While we can cover most of the major broadcast tape formats for the > edit domain, including non-linear hard disk digital video, believe it > or not, we only have *one* VHS deck in our building.

What could we do at that > point? Whoa whoa, wait a minute. You're confusing me. I think Juan's initial idea was to compile everyone's different originals onto one supreme master, and then to send that out to someone on the list to make copies from it for everyone else. We don't need you to do EVERY copy, I think we just need you to take the originals and put them onto good-quality tape. Now, I could be wrong...:D > Or maybe we could explore what a dubbing house would charge for a smallish > quantity. Any suggestions? Don't you think that's a bit much...? Plus, that would be copyright infringement in one of its worst and most easily prosecutable forms.. BTW, Dennis (and everyone else): your CDs are on their way.

Now the next question is...how do we get everyone to submit their originals. And what's more, how do we figure out who has the best copies of what...?

Ho-ho-ho, the Russian radio stations have simply never heard of Basia's existence. I picked a record of her in the States many years ago, and since then every time she released a new album I just had to travel to Europe to get it. - -- === = = = = = Vitebsky-23-5-34 = = S-Petersburg 196244 = = = = = = Russia = = = = Tel/Fax (812)-264-1005 (private) = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = E-mail victor@jazz.spb.su = = V i c t o r Z a m o u l i n e  ------------------------------ From: "Victor A.

Orhave I missed >something? Probably. Poland is MUCH different from Russia (although you are right, it is a little bit closer to Russia than to the States) -- much smaller and neater. Your question is amazing, because, as far as I know from AMERICAN books on musical business, every musician just has to have a lawyer (apart from other professional team members -- personal manager, business-manager, etc.) and if Basia feels something special about her lawyer (which must be definitely something personal) she's always welcome to thank him on her album cover.

Combee (combee@techwood.org) > that public-access-TV-making, video-game-collecting, cryptography-pushing, > World-Wide-Web-explaining, fem-music-loving, bad-pun-creating guy in Austin I am a true Basia fan! I have all of her music and recorded videos. I have seen her in concert three times! I am however overwhelmed by the inordinate amount of junk "e-mail" I receive from this service. Is there a way to be informed of albums and concert schedules without getting all of the rest? I enjoy the letters from people who share my admiration for perhaps the best kept secret on today's music scene. I don't mean to sound rigid, but there must be an easier way. Any suggestions?
