Just to add a little perspective to this discussion. Youtube / Google are actively in the process of turning Youtube into more of a streaming service than it already is today. They are currently involved in a mad dash to collect "content" just in case there are restrictions placed upon them to pay out actual royalty payments, pending some cases currently in court. Youtube "royalties" are actually even worse than Spotify, which is now 0.00012 per stream. If anyone here is a fellow "content creator" or is otherwise interested in how tech companies have simply helped themselves to whatever music they please in order to monetize with advertising revenue, you can gain more information from this site: [1]http://thetrichordist.com/2015/03/16/if-streaming-is-the-solution-to -piracy-what-happens-when-piracy-is-streaming-rot-oh-sxsw/ O brave new world.

Your "Flowers of the Forest" is absolutely beautiful. I had only heard this song sung by Richard Thompson, and the chorus has a sadness to it that I didn't think was possible to bring out in a solely instrumental version. > > > > I would do more enthusing, but I'm an American, and we just don't do that well with enthusiasm anymore. > > > > Doug > >> > >> Rob > >> > >> www.robmackillop.net > >> > >>> On 18 Mar 2015, at 18:42, doug asherman <[email protected]> wrote: > >>> > >>> It's a pity you can't get these set up as downloads on CDBaby or Bandcamp.
