Bob – Honored to have been singled out by you.

It was really so simple. If you took care of the music and your artists, exercised taste and common sense, the music took care of you.

It was about about love of the process, of just being an indie — nimble of instinct and wit, outsmarting the majors because we made decisions quickly and the artist saw that you could put yourself in their skin and there was someone they could talk to, and get a straight answer, without an appointment.

And those people still exist.

Yours is an important voice, the conscience of a business whose conscience is focused on the numbers. That’s not where the cookies are.
