| Reading Jody's recent thread, it occurred to me that there are untapped resources here on the forum, and a wonderful opportunity: there are all these tapes of great non-pro players floating around, a bunch of guys with home studios ( A to D converters, ProTools and CD burners) a built-in distribution network, and- most important- a genuine interest in hearing some of this stuff! Is there any way we could get a project like this started? This is the age of desktop publishing- this wouldn't be expensive in terms of dollars, though it would involve somebody's time. Any interest? Volunteers? Hmmm...? |

Here's the main problem as I see it:
the forum has thousands of players, 80% of whom are amateur. From my experience, hack players are always pushing their stuff on you, and the really GOOD players are too bashful (and older or infirm)- so we would need a nomination or review process. Jody has defacto nominated Ray Montee, Paul Graupp, Gene Jones, and George Keoki Lake in his latest thread. I like Gerald's idea of posting (MP3s?)- shouldn't there be an area on the forum for this anyway? But the older guys tend to make tapes, so someone would need to do the conversions. Then maybe the forum votes on favorites, someone burns the CD's, someone makes a jacket and liner notes, then we talk bOb into selling it in his CD store...! |
