Dear Ginny,
Well put and an interesting topic.
One, some of us here in Sydney, Oz have been discussing for several months.
What tunes from a working band's repertoire should be included on its new CD?
How do our DJML groups/artists, with numerous issued CDs, select the 'best' titles for each recording?
Kind regards,
Bill.
