I can't help but wonder if things might've been different if the Octoroon tour hadn't taken so long to get off the ground (or at least off the West coast ) to start with. At least now, if they get some momentum going it may provide inspiration to DIY or the momentum to get Laura signed to another label. - -- Deb \\ indigo@mindspring.com \\ http://www.mindspring.com/~indigo ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 17:06:18 -0500 From: Deb Subject: Re: [octoroon] Their loss At 12:11 PM 3/28/99 , IR81@aol.com wrote: >Thanks for the transcription LB1823 - I had heard rumors of discontent, but >this was a surprise. I was worried when she first signed with Mercury because >Michelle Shocked had so much trouble with them. Yeah, I had the same thoughts, though Mercury did have a nice roster of female artists for a while. I'm sure someone will snap her up, she's got a good following. I just hope it doesn't take her too long to get an offer she's happy with. >For my part, I'll continue to be the unofficial publicist for the Bay Area. Glad to hear it. I'll never get over Mercury whining about my wanting to work with them on a Web page because they were afraid of the competition. They assured me they'd be expanding Laura's page "any day now" to include sound clips, video, and more. Uh, yeah... meanwhile, 3 years later... Ah, well. Get out there and support Laura on the tour, folks, and buy the CDs you haven't gotten around to yet (go to my music index for pages with more info on what/where to buy). - -- Deb \\ indigo@mindspring.com \\ http://www.mindspring.com/~indigo ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1999 19:48:42 EST From: BassBrain@aol.com Subject: Re: [octoroon] Their loss In a message dated 3/29/99 3:20:30 PM MST, indigo@mindspring.com writes: << As if to prove your theory, check out the new ! >> I did check it out and I must say that it is a very WARM and CREATIVE site, no?
