[78-L] Billy Murray Memorial

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

I guess you weren't watching when the rights of the fans and rights of the heirs was all explained by the Cemetery official about a thousand emails ago. some of us were watching and reading and absorbing this, some obviously were not. Ryan is contacting the heirs to get their opinion about what some of us would like to do. I guess you could contact them as well as urge them with all your talk of necrophilia and the rest of your negative opinions about honoring and memorializing and visiting grave sites, not to honor Billy at his final resting place. That is your right if it makes you happy and content as a member here on the good ole 78-list. We have a disagreement here, whether we pursue this or not is still up in the air. But is it worth it for us who believe the cause is worth it. Yes. If you don't like the subject being discussed. or if you see a subject that disgusts you, just delete it. That is a very simple procedure, which is practiced by many of us I'm sure. No rocket science here. It all depends on how you get your fun. Petty arguments are not my bag. again Peace be with you.

Subject: Re: [78-L] Billy Murray Memorial 

Having been the one who ignited this fireball, let me say that I am in favor of 
anything that perpetuates the memory of one of the finest recording artists of 
the 20th century. I've been a fan since I was a kid and I produced a Billy 
Murray CD 3 or 4 years ago, with assistance from a couple of 78-L members. 

I think a memorial is a great idea. 

ANYWHERE but in a graveyard where the artist's legal executors have already 
made whatever decision they wanted or had to make in order to abide by existing 
conditions or tradition. That part is none of anyone's business but Billy 
Murray's family..why is it so difficult for people to understand this? 

As for insults and snide remarks, hey..some days if it weren't for snide 
remarks this page wouldn't have any remarks at all. We're all grownups here.
