Also, there must be quite a lot of 'grass fans who do not work their entire lives around a computer or the Internet and who could be cut off from future music releases. I use the Internet every day myself but do not download music at all and really have no plans to do so - it just is not how I like to put music in my collection. I feel the music is just treated like wallpaper or background to life. Recently, Bluegrass Now magazine ceased publication in print form. A year or so ago they had given readers the ability to choose whether they wanted to subscribe to print or to an online version - now only the online version is available. I cancelled my subscription because (call me old-fashioned) I like to be able to take the mag to bed or away on trips with me to read. PLEASE give us the choice at least!!
