seemed like a very bright person. So they came down to one of the shows and said we should be on the label. Tom is one of the peo- ple that I felt really had a grasp of some of the things we had been talking about ourselves, such as the power of the internet as a way to expand the paradigms of business. To try and sell records through more non-traditional means, as well as the traditional. The inter- net, compared to what it is going to be, is still in its covered wagon stages. I've been doing email since 1986, which is quite a long time. The internet is a part of the wave of the fu- ture. There are a lot of people out there who are tapping into all of that. We have a grass roots organization, and we are switching over to an all email situation. A lot of bands are doing that, because snail mail is so costly. It's just the power of communication. It's so much quicker. The immediacy of it is what you're after, and people are tapping into it on every level of society. It's fast becoming a computer society. So CMC is a label that is looking at those opportunities, as a lot of them are, but Tom was there from the get-go, and he's starting to make some strides there. Brian Pearl is an example of that.

They wanted us to do a song for the Phish tribute album that will be out next fall. We know that Phish are fans of our group, and they have played some of our music, so we said, let's take a look at it and see what they have. So we found the song and decided to cut it. After we had recorded it, Paul and I looked at each other and said, 'We can't put this out on a tribute record. This has got to go on our record.' We had just met Mike Gordon up north when we were playing at Phil Lesh's 60th birthday party. And Mike was there on- stage. We told him what we were doing, and he's a very, very nice guy- he says, 'that trib- ute stuff, I don't know if we're worthy of it, but whatever.' And we told him that we would certainly re-investigate the material and find another song to do for the tribute album. So
