Credits for Techs

[Richard Raskob]

Dear List,

I don't see myself as a famous tech but have recieved credit on a CD and
video for work done for Lorie Line.  I just returned home from a six week
tour with Lorie and her Pop Chamber Orchestra and she also included a credit
for me in the program that was handed out to everyone who came to the show.
The credits are something I like but what is of more importance is the
overall awareness she has that successful performence is a group effort.
She treats me as a important part of her Pop Chamber Orchestra and the
credit is just a small sign of that attitude.  Happy Holidays and a great
new year to all of you on the list.

>Sometimes when I buy a recording and read the credits (just finished

>BTW, the thing about the names, you will see that my business name is

>One last thing.  I subscribe to a few Listserv lists.  The people in this
