Thanks to those who make lute compositions legitimately free downloads (I
would be also willing to pay) and thanks to Ophee and Reyerman and others
( I
have been and continue to be willing to pay for their facsimiles without
whining).
Hey Dan, nowhere did I or anyone else whine about buying nice editions.
Just the opposite in fact, I very clearly said that I do, and will continue
to buy them, even if I can download them for free.
The real challenge for publishers like MO is to be creative in the
cover art, editing, and info. quality of paper etc. It's amazing how this
Monkey can elevate the physical book itself, above the content.
Buy the way, do you REALLY believe showing a few original facsimiles
on the web. is going to cause the entire publishing world to come to a
grinding halt?
I call on that Monkey, in a spirit of good will to set free a Bach lute
suite to the internet. Who knows it might do wonders for his business, and
he may start to actually like himself, then people might like him, and
that's good for business, ghee, what a concept.
