ALMO closed its Nashville office.  Gillian is and always was handled out of
the LA office.

Howdy,

This paragraph from an article clipped here (and which was for some odd
reason yesterday's front page above-the-fold article in the Knoxville
News-Sentinel) caught my attention:

As the money rolled in, companies like Warner Bros. and MCA built
expensive office buildings, gave employees raises and hired more people. Now
those companies want to cut costs and small labels like Rising Tide,
Magnatone, Almo Sounds, Imprint and Decca have closed their doors in the
past couple of years.

Did I miss something? When did Almo Sounds close up? Isn't that Gillian
Welch's label? Weren't they recently also mentioned on P2 as organizers of
some sort of tribute album?

Just curious.

Take care,

The Nashville office closed. they had Paul Jfferson, billy Yates, Bekka
(Bramlett) and Billy (Burnette). Garth Fundis was the labelguru, and my
brother in promotions. He felt the ax.
