Oh yes, I've watched the Quartet several times. Great stuff.
As far as being a member, it has taken me 60 years to approach duplicating a small portion of the stuff they invented back then!
It's amazing what you can do with three chords!
Back to Carl Perkins, a lot of people don't know that his brother Luther was Johnny Cash's lead guitarist, famous for his simplicity and originality. Carl performed with them a lot, generally taking a back seat to big John.

I guess Carl won't be getting any money for those tracks. You do know you could have just bought them. I doubt the library intends their CDs to be ripped.

Although I know many people have done that at some time I just don't think I would be announcing it on a forum of working musicians without expecting some sort of negative response. Personally I always like to own the original recording with the album cover and side notes. It rewards my favorite artists for music they have made that I love and encourages them to keep recording and providing me with future musical pleasure.

Nigel......I think you misread that, but understandable. I didn't elaborate.

The CD's were old and hard to record past around track 9-10. The reason they "went to my hard drive" was because the library was not in my district and I only had 3 days before I had to return them. Hence, my remark:

I was listening to one of the songs just now as I opened this message up!"

By putting them on my hard drive, I could listen to all the tracks at my leisure and buy the best CD. Unfortunately, now that I'm not working, I really can't afford all 4 CD's, even though Mr. Perkins is one of my favorites.

P.S. I already have over 2,000 CD's that I used in my disc jockey days, all paid for through the BMG music club at their discount prices.

So trust me, I'm sure BMG made sure everyone got their royalties!

I'll be careful how I "word" things in the future. I don't want to go to jail at my age....102.

Shoot, Carl can't make any money off them anyway. You don't need money in Rock n Roll Heaven!

OK, but you can see why it read badly at face value.
