Man! I Love this album!!! I probably burned more copies of this cd
for friends & acquaintences than any other cd I own!

I know a lot ot TRheads don't care for it & I cannot understand why.
It always puts me in a nice mellow mood after a tuff day at work
(along with a couple of shots of Drambuie).

I really wish Todd would do another cd of his tunes like this...more!
more! More! MORE!!!!!! (The Cry of the Baby Boomers!)

Nice...relaxing....good dinner party music.. Sunday morning with
coffee hangover music........

Gawd......I've become my Father!!!!

the only thing better would be if your friends and acquaintances had
actually paid for the cd.

How can he afford to with you "burning more copies of this cd
for friends & acquaintences than any other cd you own"?

Paul. So glad you bcc'd Todd, who has gone on record saying he doesn't
want the RIAA vilifying his fans on his behalf re illegal downloads
and piracy issues. Just chill. Yes, it might have been better if
Geezer bought the CDs for his friends (which Bob pointed out with a
bit less vitriol than you), but he's obviously a fan so stop playing
Fascist Christ.

The bcc was a joke, so get over it. It was the "geezer"s reply, "That's not
the way things work anymore......" to Bob's comment that prompted my
response. If that's not the way things work then just how do they work?
Perhaps the geezer would like to start working for free? How about you
"singring"? Do you get a regular paycheck or are you on the dole?

Don't worry, Paul, TR's made plenty of $$$ of of me since 1971. This
is the way I've always perceived it when making someone a Cdr or a
tape (remember when the Industry wanted to outlaw blank cassette tapes
back in the '80's?).: I play TR's music for someone. They like it &
request a cd of his music. They listen to it & enjoy it. In fact
they like it so much they are compelled to go and purchase other cds
of Todd's musical compositions on their own. It's called Spreading
The Word.

And in fact except for a couple of Van Morrison cds, I have purchased
nothing but used cds since 2001. Shall we outlaw the little
neighborhood Used CD Store, Half.com & Amazon Used CD also???

Obviously, you've missed the point.

Hang on, Paul. I knew the bcc was a joke. It was the implication that
Todd would take your side and vilify "geezer" that prompted my
response. Rather, I think as an artist he understand the benefits of
having his work copied and distributed and that he likely benefits
from it in future sales and concert attendance from a widened
audience. It's the record companies who make the $$ from those CD
sales anyway, not the artists.

As to a regular paycheck, yes I like getting one for my "9 to 5"
corporate slavery job.

As a musician, though, I distribute my copyrighted music for free. Let
me know if you want some.

Cheers and Happy Valentine's Day,

singring

"Hang on Paul" Hey, great Nazz reference!

I'd love to hear some samples of your stuff, if you're so inclined.
