Thanks for visiting, and you make some great points. I just wanted to clarify a few things:
First, the 1880-2008 lifespan. First, I wanted to point out that before audio recording was invented, the idea of owning music was absurd. Second, really I could have dated the death date even earlier. So many millions of people already steal music that ownership is pretty much dead alredy. My point is that the monetization of music can exist in many ways in the future, but selling ownership of copy won't be one of them.
Secondly, my vision does not necessarily mean the big wireless jukebox in the sky. You could also, in theory, have a portable device with every song ever recorded stored in local memory, with perpetual updates of every new song ever recorded in the future. All together the total corpus of recorded music isn't *that* big (a few terabytes?), and given the rate of technological advancement I predict (by just gut feel) it could be a reasonable idea in about five years. The monetization in this networkless business model would be no different than with a wireless delivery mechanism -- the UI of the device. It's not about the technology, it's about the user experience.
Jeez~ The poor lads were refused at the British Border. Now how is that for southern musical hospitality. Its unjust really. It is unjust. Musicians. We need to rise up. This is ridiculous, It is so difficult for Canadian and Mexican bands to legally enter the Us and play music. Does anyone else have a solution or know of a group working on these issues. I became aware attending future of music events in Canada.
I just saw johnny at an awesome Bridge Show called chill-out-chill-out-i-will-not-chill-out. Johnny was in full form. Nice, Sweet, and as kind as ever. He had this awesome hand-painted-green old guitar, the kind of guitar that can put new heels on an old boots if you know what I'm sayin. If you do know what I am sayin' please email me and explain.
When will the complete Bosum Blues album be available? Will it be a finished packaged product or digital down load only?
You could probably sell a bunch of CD's in Richmond's Plan9 Music. Is Larry still living down in Louisianna? I know Harold
passed away a few years ago & the last I heard Lynn was still giging.
"This is much more indy rock sounding but still cool, will this type of music survive today ?"
Who the fuck are you? You have to be kidding me with nonsensical, naive write up.
alls well over here. we're just finishing off the packaging on the record we mixed at monkey claus. it sounds great. thanks so much for that!
i want to try to get back in monkey claus for another mixing sess with Abel around xmas. i have a limited window, and i'm sure yall do too, but im gonna try.

What exactly is "the magic" you refer to in the above flow chart? Please respond back to me via email (ampkilla@gmail.com) if it's not too much trouble. Thanks!
Thanks for asking about the 'Magic'. If we told you ecactly what the magi=c is , it would not be magic anymore. But i can tell you that it usually consists of a series of unexpected events that add sparkle and intrigue to the music we produce. We are very much into the textures that lie beneath the usual sounds you hear.
'Magic, sometimes known as sorcery or wizardry, is the practice of consciousness manipulation and/or autosuggestion to achieve a desired result, usually by techniques described in various conceptual systems. The practice is often influenced by ideas of religion, mysticism, occultism, science, and psychology.'
Update: The listing for the ultra-deluxe edition is back up in the store along with a nasty red warning confirming that they have indeed sold out.
