Interesting. When you play in Spain, do you check the political credentials of anybody who comes in the door? How do you know that you have not in fact played in front of people who still remember Francisco Franco fondly? As for people like me, I agree with you. You have never played in front of me, and since there is no one in the whole wide world who is like me, I am one of a kind, sui generis, you have never played in front of people like me and never will. >You're the one with the particular moral, so let the stupid out of fashion >idealists-Marxists-whatever like me be decent and poor. Well put. You have your morality and I have mine. >Get a life, you sound too frustrated. Not at all. I have had along and productive life, and I am basically a very happy man. I do what I want to do and I do it well. Like your friend Roman told you, I am only trying to protect my domain, my investment in time and money and inspiration and creativity, against the onslaught of thieves like you who will find any rationale possible to defend the indefensible. Mrs. Minkoff is not exactly a close friend of mine. I used to be a dealer for her books many years before OMI came into being, and for quite some time she was a dealer for my editions in Switzerland and France. She is a colleague and a former business associate. All I know about her business is that some books I used to sell, like the Saizenay Manuscript, are no longer in print and no chance it will ever be reprinted, no matter what it says on her web site. The Danby manuscript, prepared for her by Tim Crawford, has been in the planning stage for years by now and if she is reluctant to throw good money after bad, and the music is NOT available to you because of that, you can start thinking of why this is happening, and if you and your feebleminded morality have anything to do with that. And BTW, I bought from her practically every single guitar and lute book she ever published. When I was a dealer, I got a regular dealer's discount. And when I stopped being a dealer, I paid the full price. I have on hand some 60-70 books published by Minkoff. Some of the best purchases of books I have ever made in my life. They will remain in my collection a long time after I have gone. Matanya Ophee Editions Orphe'e, Inc., 1240 Clubview Blvd. N.
