Dave:

Thanks for your reply. It would be great if you had some label support? But...Scott McCarl recorded for a small indie label: Titan Records out of Kansas City back in 1997. He played Poptopia (in Los Angeles /Wally Bryson) in February of 1998...and that led to the "ElderBerries" Reunion at the Odeon in July of 1998. With Dave (You), Wally, Scott and Jim Bonfanti. That's the closest RASPBERRIES Fans have came to a "full blown" Reunion since 1973! We DIDN'T even miss: Mr. All by Myself! The Odeon was a Fantastic Concert for the "sold out" Fans from across the USA that attended. Hell; I drove 850 miles from Minnesota...it was worth it! You guys can do it again!

Best Regards,

Don
