Thanks, ye mighty sorcerer! -Done deal. I had set it to ban those nefarious geeks who create spam like they were compensated in gold, not schillings on the dollar. Maybe I'm just p-a-r-a-n-o-i-d, but it seems the Brits and the French are facing new regulations; "Laws" that soon, (and possibly already have) diminished or negatively influenced our LW capabilities. A month ago, nearly every upload I hosted was a French or Greek title. Now, these requests have wained by a whopping 50-65%. Personally, I have found 92% of all the cool tunes I can remember, so this project is winding down quickly.

I'm building a reference library for use at my planned off-shore retreat. When musicians arrive they'll need a way to access numerous styles and genres which will directly impact the quality of their compositional work. I'm talking about a destination-venue, where a player could get intouch wih their inner-ear.

Picture Bearsville Studios, or Caribou Ranch at its (1985) peak. For a band, rapidly scanning and referencing MP3's is't really the same as owning the records. In fact, I've deliberately stopped at nabbing 1/2 the LP, as I'm adamant about not scamming an artist or player. Like a music reviewer, as a promoter I am really proud to have discovered hundreds of obscure '5-Star' masterpieces, and I consider it not just an honor, but a gift from God, to share these precious messages with those who actually need to hear them. Thanks to LimeWire for making this possible!

Today, after 30 years of tears and joy, our family sold our "#1 Live Music Venue in the State." I hate to say too much here, but I don't think we did this a minute too soon. The dollar IS going to fail, and the bailout just the last insult from a system of governance that should die, having no relevance or future bearing on our society's future.
