- This message is perhaps targeted to the readers in the U.S. (but please,
- feel free to reply, I am not biased against any other countries :-)
-
- I as wondering if there is a special mail order company that is dedicated
- (or just targeted toward) to the distribution of Folk music, etc. I am
- having a heck of a time trying to locate any. I've tried large chains
- like Sam Goodies, Music+, Tower Records, and some local, independent
- chains/stores, and I am unable to find any titles by artists recommanded
- by the various posters. This is discouraging, and I am starting to wear
- out Joni Mitchell's _Clouds_ (if it's possible to wear out a CD :-)
-
- I am a subscriber to BMG, and they don't have it. And I don't think
- I want to fall into the trap of CBS/Columbia/Sony, I would prefer
- just a mail order firm, instead of some membership deal.
-
- Thanks in advance.
-
- P.S. I am intrigued by this Celtic Harp music, sound definitely like
- something I'll love (as sson as I find some, I'll let you know :-)
