This is a large and weighty matter, partly prompted by the Willcox family-clearing of the Willcox Parents’ cottage; but also reflects on who-and-what I am now, current interests and future plans. Thirty years ago, I had particular interests, and some possible-future plans. Now, much research is possible online and Amazon’s database of books-from-all-ages has revolutionised reading-acquisitions.

I recommend to read Lester Chambers story on facebook about the music exploitation system...  

Was it a spur of the moment decision on your part to post the letter?


No, no, no. My friends and my son, we've been working on this for the past eight or nine years. We have all the contracts, all the record labels, all of that information together. It's a good time because of Occupy. It just so happens. My wife is a paralegal. So she's been able to do a great job preparing all of the paperwork.

So you're going to sue them directly? This isn't just a press campaign? 

We're gonna correct our situation.

Do you think you'll succeed?


I hope so. I'm gonna do it for every musician that's been treated the way I have. That's my prayer. And I hope God answers my prayer.

The public mood seems to have changed, fairly recently, in terms of what is acceptable; and what is an affront; to common decency.
