STUPID DISCLAIMER #1:
What a world we live in where you can't do something nice for people without worrying that you might offend someone. I don't make a dime from this, quite the contrary. The domain fees and server fees come out of my pocket. However, I suppose it's "politically correct" to make it known that some of the material here is featured WITHOUT PERMISSION. If you are one of the artists here and don't want your stuff played just email me at jim@minornotes.com and I will remove yours from the playlist. Your loss.


STUPID DISCLAIMER #2:
Being commercial-free, I use an odd variety of "snippets" as transitional segues between artist blocks. I use these too, WITHOUT PERMISSION.
I am such a rebel.


If you are a local artist and would like your stuff added just email an MP3 or link to jim@minornotes.com
No covers please. Gotta keep the RIAA weenies happy.
