Tar Hut Jeff quotes Bill and says: Jason Carter's solo discs were priced at $17. I'd have certainly given them $15 for the record, and fully intended to, but I couldn't find my wallet when it came to the extra $2, which seemed a little gouge-y to me. No offense- so I'm a piker. Winterland

Just a few observations about the fine show they did here last night- -A three hour show, not counting the intermission. Tickets were $23 after the TicketBastard charge, but can't say you didn't get your money's worth. -Both Steve and Del fluffed lyrics on a couple of occasions, on their own

"Tar Hut Records" [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/31 1:53 PM You have to wonder how much Rounder is charging them for the discs...maybe the only way they can profit off it is to charge that much.. Rounder's artist price is $6 a unit. I'd say they're making quite a profit... Jim Nelson

Jon Weisberger noted: Bill also noted that they were asking $17 for The Family, which isn't on Rounder, but on Ceili. Right, which made me a little curiouser, though it's all business of course. On the larger question, so to speak, bluegrassers not infrequently are willing to pay top
