Re: [ARSCLIST] NARAS Journal

Not that it needs further confirmation from me, but the Vol. 8 no. 2 
issue is the last one that I have in my possession.

I always thought that this was a worthy and well put together 
publication and was sorry that NARAS chose not to continue to support 
it. Other than the privilege of being able to buy reduced price new 
releases every month, it is probably the only feature of NARAS 
membership that I truly have enjoyed (participating in the Grammy Award  
© voting is fairly meaningless for me, given my off-kilter tastes and 
their newsletters are about what you'd expect - photos taken at various 
events and routine profiles of industry artists). 

Louise, is there any official word on why the organization decided to 
pull the plug on it's Journal? Lack of interest? Lack of contributions? 
Change in organizational policy? None of the above?

Regards,

Peter Hirsch
