Jaimie,
 Thanks for this interesting reply. As I stated
earlier, I am not involved at all in the music 
business other than a loyal customer for many
years. So I don't fully comprehend the inner workings
of contract and licensing etc. I appreciate your insight
into the issues involved. But your last statement
I think sums it up. 
 I find it hard to beleive that an Artist of EC's caliber
cannot find a label willing to sign him to a long term
deal. Maybe I am being myopic here, but it just seems odd
that he can't find a home for his music ala The Beatles,
Stones and Dylan.
