I played a recital the other day and included several Towner pieces. After the recital people were asking me about Towner and I recommended all of his solo cds...

Thanks. I guess I'm just old school. I think it strange I can't go into a record shop and buy or even order a cd. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Tony ... From:...
... I'm with you , Tony. It always amazes me how sparse are the offerings of Towner and Oregon CDs at most record stores. And this is even more true today...

I have never had a problem locating Towner or Oregon albums (from LP to CD eras) here in the UK. Though if I was looking for the 1970s/80s material it might...
... Ralph is still technically an ECM artist, but artists are not contracted to ECM as they are most other labels - it's on an album-by-album basis. Still, if...
Yes this is why I feel obliged to play his music at recitals. They are fantastic pieces for solo guitar that have something special in that for me they always...
... Legally speaking, it's theft, and there are people currently in jail for that crime. But in the practical world of the 21st Century, it's anything but...
Actually I have only burned one official Oregon album and one by Towner for someone else. I have bought stacks of Oregon discs and cds over the years. (And a...
With all the reissues/remasters/new formats, the choice is still yours Geoff, to buy or not. In any case, I want to be clear that my comments were not directed...
Hi David, You seem to know a lot about copyrights issues. I have heard that in Canada, you can copy a CD for your own private use (for ex. listening in your...
Hi Daniel, I think the copying for your own use comes from copyright law for computer software, where you can make a copy for backup purposes. Personally I...
Hi David, Thanks for your reply. I'd love to have more activities on this NewsGroup (read here, more transcriptions of Ralph Towner's work...) Happy New Year...
... Daniel, The operative clause in my statement is "...how sparse are the offerings of Towner and Oregon CDs /at most record stores/." (My apology if the ...

My view? If the artist supports *trading* of live recordings then that's fine - as long as there's no commerce involved, where someone is making money without...
A couple of years ago somebody on this list talked to Ralph after a show and asked him directly what he thought of it. Ralph said he didn't mind. _____ From:...

Nevertheless, I was talking to Ralph years ago about some of his guitar transcriptions that were availabe on the web and he was pretty pissed off about it....
Tony - This kind of surprises me. Considering that writing out transcriptions of music like his takes substantial training and ability, I think of this as a...
Hey Rick, No, I assure you there was no misunderstanding. Sebastian Jean, who had done the transcriptions asked me to get Ralph's official permission to...
Got it, Tony. It makes sense with your explanation. ... From: tony d'arco <blueboy6661952@...> Hey Rick, No, I assure you there was no misunderstanding....
... You make a very good point, Rick, regarding the difficulty and challenge of transcriptions. It reminded me of two recordings I have of piano pieces...
I, too, think that commercially available CDs should not be copied but bought, although -at least here in Germany- it is legal to burn up to seven copies of a...
Hi Rick, I had totally missed Tony's post. Yes, I agree 100%. with your view. I have been doing transcriptions for the last 30 years, as a hobby. In the last...
Sending a couple of mp3s is different than burning them a disc, as was suggested. I'm totally in agreement with the use of the internet to promote artists and ...
