Posted on February 21, 2010 with 1 commenttoday's question is: do we produce and release the recording from Adair Coffee House? Gord Erskine recorded Terry and the band when they played there in January. It is a great recording and a totally unexpected jewel, the tunes are wonderful, the audience noise is minimal (except for a bit of whooping at the end of some of the tunes). I am so tempted to release it. The con is that it is not all original tunes and the copyright costs would be pretty high. It is however, a great example of how an evening of music with Terry Gillespie, blues legend, sounds.
BTW: I think a creative interpretation (not cover) of a song is a good as an original tune - there are great song writers out there - we love their music and want to honour them. But, the costs...hmmm???
