Dan Spink replies:
I was wondering when someone would suggest a central library BE CREATED for
all the great recordings you people have. The only problem is, how can any
person get to hear all that music? Perhaps you could start a lending library
concept. Transfer to CD ROM (not that hard) and then for a membership fee
(which I would gladly pay) you get copies at a certain price of the classics.
I would certainly sign up for that. Anyone else?
