Hi Chris,

Awesome site you have here! When I worked in Nashville in the record biz, we used to be concerned when someone we knew got signed to Warner Brothers Records. There, Warner was known as ‘the artist protection program’ because they would sign artists and they would disappear completely. Warner never would release their albums but rather put them on the self, which of course, ensured they couldn’t compete in the market with other artists on the label. Very strange way of doing business so to me, the funeral home thing kinda makes a lot of sense! Best wishes!

Dr. Demento is someone I used to listen to back in the late 70s, early 80s.
