<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi
Everybody,<BR> <BR> Thanks for all your offers to host the
LGCMA site. JD Doyle is going to take it over. But, it will no longer be an
organization so much as a listing of gay CW performers. If you will allow me,
I have some parting words...<BR> <BR> This is wonderful,
very important work we are doing. However, we are in a cultural war. And,
unfortunately, our music is a weapon. I want to caution everyone against
becoming bitter, if you don't achieve the success you deserve. If being
successful is more important than working for cultural change, then this can
all result in bitterness. We have to have other ways of making money to live
on and having health insurance, etc. We may not be the ones who achieve
success. But we are paving the way for others, in the future. Somebody has to
lay the groundwork. I guess that is us.<BR> <BR> Love to you
all, --Doug</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>Amen and<STRONG> AMEN</STRONG> Brother!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>Thank you for your words of encouragement.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>What a <STRONG>wonder</STRONG> you are Doug! Thank
you for all you have contributed to our community!!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>And thank you to JD Doyle for adding yet another HAT to
your rather LONG WALL of Hats... ; )</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>We<STRONG> are</STRONG> the pioneers in our industry at
this time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>Because of artists like you Doug, the ones that come
after us will be able to take things much further. </FONT><FONT face=Tahoma>That understanding gives me great pride, joy and
peace. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>But I also know this ... living in the digital age ...
<U>our work</U> will certainly NOT die with us. It will live on for as
long as people have access to computers and the Internet, <EM><STRONG>and
have the freedom</STRONG></EM> to search for the artists and type of music
they long for. This is why people like JD Doyle <STRONG>and others</STRONG>
who do (or have done) these special collections of sexually
diverse music online are so important. Thank God for you guys!
Cause you are the ones who are preserving (and even
digging up) our history. In fact, (in my opinion) there
needs to be more thought and talk going on about establishing a fund to insure
that our communities various music sites maintain for many years to
come. </FONT><FONT face=Tahoma> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>With my Highest Respect!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>Always...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>Your Brother in arms and peer,</FONT></DIV>
