Well, if one person was told "go put on your sailin' shoes" and got a hold of one of these discs and liked it, people might say that it was an accident...

If two or three people were told to "go put on your sailin' shoes" and got a hold of this sampler, and liked it, they might think it was on purpose...

now if six or ten of them folks over there were all told to "go put on your sailin' shoes" got a free disc and said "d a mn it Kilborne these kids are good", they may think it's a conspiracy...

now... Now, I mean... I mean if 25 to 50 people just standing around, and kids under 30 too, all got told to "put on your sailin' shoes" then got an ear full of this and dug the the hell out of it, Well they may think it's a movement!

Sounds like a plan to me! Nice selections ... a Lisner '02 track too? Sbd?? What's it clock in at? Around 40min or so I'd think.

Will this be downloadable on Joel's server or archive.org?

I'd be willing to burn and send 50 or so copies out, or take them on the road w/me in July. Is it your intent to use Tyvek or paper sleeves? If so, it would be cool if the art made the best use of the circle widow possible so that peeps don't have to finger the disc much till they get home/to car.

Should have a pin or tee shirt that says "ask me for some Hot Tomato licks... " or somethin’ like that ;D

... someone pull his plug...

I would gladly follow Dave's lead and both burn and spread the joy. Now if I can just avoid Officer O.B. and his 27 8x10 color glossy pictures....

Hey Tim and Dave, you guys are a hoot (does Arlo know you're stealing his stuff? aw he don't care), and most assuredly we'll get ya turning and burning these fine tunes soon. Chris has done a superb job picking the tunes from the archives.

Yes, I expect Joel will have this on his server at some point. Watch the Feat website for an update on the whole shooting match being downloadable for burning. The artwork has been geared for standard jewel boxes, a simple foldover cover/liner combo. I'm using a lot of ultra slim j-cases. I have cobbled together a simple yet fun photo collage that they may put up for the CD label, or folks can create their own. We weren't necessarily going the Tyvek sleeve route, but you could make up your own adaptation. We want the info on the songs/shows/band website etc to be part of the package, as an extra added hook, or in other words, so people will know what the F#?! this great music is and can find more of it.

rock on
