Keith,

Thanks for writing. I still don't understand how you came to find my site. I
know it was
roundabout, but I'm always interested in how people come. Did you find it on
internet
searches? If so, what were you searching for? Information like that helps me
plan.

As to your question, I must admit that I'm not up on the activities that Clear
Channel and
others are engaging in. I remember as a kid that the Dead were smart to allow
"bootlegging" of concerts. It spread their fame around. I guess it took a while
but now
even the establishment is joining in on this. I think it is good to spread tapes
around of
your music. If you can make money off of that, all the better. Especially if the
money
goes to the musicians and not their record companies.

In what way are you involved with a jam band? Von Cello has always been involved
with
jamming and is becoming more and more of a jam band. When our next CD comes
out, in the
next few months, that will become clear to everyone. Then we want to network
with other
jam bands and get on the road!

Von Cello
