She also made a comment before she performed 'Crazy Cries of Love' at
the Gorge that there was a boot of it floating around. I first heard
the song when the Gene Autrey museum concert was broadcast. That
version was later on a tape tree and there was another one of the
finished cut on another tape tree. I think she knows. I think she
also knows that it's her devoted fans that are doing this and that we
are not stealing any revenue from her. We're doing it because we love
her music and want to share the live & rare stuff. We also eagerly
*purchase* every new release she comes out with. I'm sure she knows
that & either blesses our sharing or doesn't care that we do it.
Michelle should get over it! She should be glad that her fans care!

PS: and many kudos to Bob who is wonderful about sharing his music and
all the others who regularly step up to the plate to make copies for
us. Also to Simon, Ashara, Sherrie Goode & Barbara Burst for putting
together such great tape, cd & video compilations to tree.
You guys rock!
