Sure do. What does playing unprepared for a gig mean to you?

Actually, it was embarrassing, what with Kyle's rebuke and my disappointment
regarding my own ears. I guess I didn't send Carl the recording because I
don't send out failures. And I wasn't asked much because most people do get
their tapes when I'm asked, though the time it takes is relative.

Jon, please don't moralize to me on the List. Our history does not beckon
well for interaction on this level. I might just take your response the
wrong way.

See, I don't think your e-post was deserving of a "Cheers"

Best, Johnny Reinhard

(I know, probably doesn't deserve a "Best" either....)

It is a judgement call, and I myself do not attempt concertizing that I am unprepared for. From what I've read, Carl's inclusion on the program had difficult circumstances attached to it, and probably did not come off as either of you had hoped or intended. That doesn't mean that the organizer of a festival can't deal with these matters in a professional and courteous way.

It is a public forum, and your viewpoints are no less subject to commentary than anyone else's. One would hope, being in the position you have placed yourself as a concert organizer/promoter, that your ways can be more magnanimous in the future, but you have more than two decades worth of concerts, and how you run them is certainly your business.
